Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for generating intrinsic matrixed bar codes, such as Quick Response (“QR”) codes. In one implementation, system for generating an intrinsic matrixed bar code may include an image-receiving device, a processor configured to execute instructions, and a memory storing the instructions. The instructions may include instructions to: receive an image using the image-receiving device, generate a registration mark corresponding to the received image, select coordinates on the received image, overlay one or more matrixed bar codes on the selected coordinates, update the registration mark with the selected coordinates, and overlay the registration mark on the received image.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for generating a registration mark for an intrinsic matrixed bar code, comprising:
one or more memory devices storing instructions; and
one or more processors configured to execute instructions to perform operations comprising:
receiving an image;
generating a grid, the grid corresponding to the image and dividing the image into a plurality of cells;
selecting coordinates on the image, the coordinates corresponding to locations of a plurality of bar codes overlaid on the image; and
generating, using the coordinates, a registration mark indicating the cells of the grid which correspond to image locations that contain the overlaid bar codes.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
the registration mark comprises a matrix corresponding to the grid.

3. The system of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:
generating an information container row.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein:
the registration mark further comprises the information container row.

5. The system of claim 3 , wherein:
the information container row comprises a plurality of properties of the image.

6. The system of claim 3 , wherein:
generating the information container row comprises determining that the image is a static image; and
the information container row indicates that the image is a static image.

7. The system of claim 3 , wherein:
generating the information container row comprises determining that the image is a dynamic image; and
the information container row indicates that the image is a dynamic image.

8. The system of claim 3 , wherein:
generating the information container row comprises determining an orientation of the image.

9. The system of claim 3 , wherein:
the information container row comprises an indication of whether the registration mark is embedded in the image.

10. The system of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:
overlaying the registration mark on the image.

11. A computer implemented method for generating an intrinsic matrixed bar code, the method comprising:
receiving an image;
generating a grid, the grid corresponding to the image and dividing the image into a plurality of cells;
selecting coordinates on the image, the coordinates corresponding to locations of a plurality of bar codes overlaid on the image; and
generating, using the coordinates, a registration mark indicating the cells of the grid which correspond to image locations that contain the overlaid bar codes.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein:
the registration mark comprises a matrix corresponding to the grid.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
generating an information container row.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein:
the registration mark further comprises the information container row.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein:
the information container row comprises a plurality of properties of the image.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein:
generating the information container row comprises determining that the image is a static image.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein:
generating the information container row comprises determining that the image is a dynamic image.

18. The method of claim 13 , wherein:
generating the information container row comprises determining an orientation of the image.

19. The method of claim 13 , wherein:
the information container row comprises an indication of whether the registration mark is embedded in the image.

20. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
overlaying the registration mark on the image.
