Abstract
There is provided a two-dimensional code generator that generates an image-included two-dimensional code. The apparatus includes a deficient region determining unit and a code generating unit that produces an image-included two-dimensional code by applying, to a base image, a two-dimensional image in which the deficient region is present and there is no code information in the deficient region.
Claims20
A two-dimensional code generator, comprising:
- a code information restricted-region determining unit that determines a code information restricted region in a two-dimensional code;
- and
- a code generating unit that generates an image-included two-dimensional code by applying, to a base image, a two-dimensional code in which placement of code information in the code information restricted region is restricted.
A program for producing a two-dimensional code by enabling a computer to read and perform a program previously stored in a memory, which enables the computer to function as a two-dimensional generator which functionally comprises:
- a code information restricted-region determining unit that determines a code information restricted region in the two-dimensional code;
- and
- a code generating unit that generates an image-included two-dimensional code by applying, to a base image, a two-dimensional code with no code information in the code information restricted region thereof.
A method for producing a two-dimensional code, wherein the method comprises steps of:
- a code information restricted-region determining step that determines a code information restricted region in the two-dimensional code;
- and
- a code generating step that generates an image-included two-dimensional code by applying, to a base image, a two-dimensional code with no code information in the code information restricted region thereof.
