Abstract
Disclosed is a mechanically readable code including a first area comprising multiple first unit cells and including an information region where information was recorded and a second area including multiple second unit cells including an allochroic cell that changes in color depending on a physical quantity. The multiple first unit cells include transitional color cells having any transitional color in the process of color change of the allochroic cell.
Claims5
An information processing system comprising:
- a terminal device having a reader to mechanically read the information in a mechanically readable code, the mechanically readable code comprising:
- a first area comprising multiple first unit cells and including an information region where information was recorded;
- and
- a second area comprising multiple second unit cells including an allochroic cell that changes in color depending on a physical quantity,
- wherein the multiple first unit cells include transitional color cells having any transitional color in the process of color change of the allochroic cell;
- and
- an information processing device,
- wherein the information processing device comprising:
- a reception unit that receives the information acquired by the terminal device and color information of the allochroic cell;
- a database that retains relationships including a first relationship between the color of the allochroic cell and a physical quantity and a second relationship between the information and a type of ink to color the allochroic cell;
- and
- a determination unit that determines the physical quantity to which the code has been exposed, based on the received information, the color of the allochroic cell, and the relationships.
