Abstract
A two-dimensional code with a logo, wherein a two-dimensional code that represents information by means of a cell dot distribution pattern formed by having a plurality of cells colored and a logo mark visually representing characters are superimposed. In a preferred embodiment, at least a part of the cell dot color area is smaller than the cell area while the two-dimensional code that represents the information by means of the cell dot distribution pattern that color codes the cells and the logo mark that visually represents the character are superimposed.
Claims11
A method for providing a two-dimensional code with a logo for use with a reader, comprising:
- combining a two-dimensional code that represents information using a cell dot distribution pattern of a cell dot formed by having a plurality of cells colored and a visually recognizable logo mark visually representing characters,
- superimposing one or more cell dots having a brightness higher than a brightness of the logo mark on the logo mark, and
- wherein information is represented by using a distribution pattern of the cell dot and a part of the logo mark on which the cell dot is not superimposed, and
- wherein an outline is set up on a boundary of the characters in the logo mark and the cell that the outline passes through is color coded with the boundary of the outline as an edge.
