Description

Self-programmed and defined image coding

This creation is about the structure of image representation coding, especially an image coding that can be self-programmed and defined.

In order to distinguish various commodities or to priced in the commodity market, an image code is usually attached to the product to facilitate the scanner to read the image code through a fast scanning action, thereby obtaining product information. At present, the most commonly used image code is bar code and QR code (scientific name is Quick Response Code).

Bar code or bar code is a kind of one-dimensional bar code. It is a plurality of black bars and blanks with different widths, arranged according to certain coding rules. Common bar codes are black bars and white bars with large difference in reflectivity. Parallel line pattern. It is used to represent certain letters, numbers and other data. When identifying, it is scanned by a bar code reader to obtain a set of reflected light signals. After photoelectric conversion, it becomes a group of electronic signals corresponding to lines and blanks. , after decoding, restore to the corresponding text number.

QR code (scientific name is Quick Response Code) is a kind of 2D barcode. QR code can store more information than ordinary barcode. There is also no need to line up the scanner when scanning like a normal bar code. The QR code is square, and the common color is black and white. In three corners, a square pattern with a smaller, "return" character is printed. These three are patterns that help decode the software. The user does not need to align. The data can be read correctly regardless of scanning at any angle.

However, the image codes used today have fixed specifications, and in order to avoid duplication, there are international certification management and are not suitable for private use. Moreover, such as QR code, its positioning point is so much that it consumes a considerable amount of computing resources in reading and identification. If the bar code does not follow international management specifications, it will cause confusion.

Therefore, this case hopes to propose a new self-programming and definition image coding to solve the defects of the prior art.

Therefore, the purpose of this creation is to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art. In this creation, a self-programming and definition image coding is proposed. The present case has a very lively format, and the content of the image code can be defined by the user. The user can arbitrarily select icons with different appearances, so it is easy to prevent a state similar to his image code. In this case, the positioning point can be easily separated from the boundary of the image code during scanning. In addition, invisible paint can be applied to print the icon, and the effect of encoding confidentiality can be achieved.

In order to achieve the above object, a self-programmed and defined image code is proposed in the present invention, which comprises the following elements: at least two positioning marks, the at least two positioning marks are geometric images of arbitrary shapes, and the at least two positioning marks are used for The purpose of positioning; multiple anchor points can be used to locate different icons; wherein the icon positioned on the anchor point can represent a corresponding or set code; all icons form a set of image codes Can be interpreted as a set of codes; wherein the icon is selected from a preset set of icons. And the icon set contains a plurality of preset different icons; therefore, if there are K icons, each of the icons represents a code, and several icons can be combined into one. Group code, so if there are K icons, and there are N possible variations of the icon, a total of N ^K codes can be generated.

Wherein the plurality of positioning points are located within a set positioning frame, the positioning frame enclosing a geometric image of an arbitrary shape, the positioning frame and the interior thereof are not in contact with the at least two positioning marks; wherein the positioning is After the icon, the icon is located within the space enclosed by the positioning frame and the icon does not overlap the boundary of the positioning frame.
