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 scanning a matrix-bar-coded video, comprising:
one or more memory devices storing instructions; and
one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
receiving a video;
generating a grid associated with the video;
determining one or more locations of one or more matrixed bar codes within the video; and
generating a registration mark, the registration mark indicating which coordinates of the grid correspond to the one or more locations of the one or more matrixed bar codes within the video.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the registration mark comprises a matrix corresponding to the grid, and wherein the registration mark comprises a plurality of cells indicating properties of the grid.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the registration mark indicates a video frame that includes the one or more matrixed bar codes.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the registration mark is integrated within one or more interlaced video scans.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the registration mark is embedded in the video.

6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
performing, via a capturing device, based on the registration mark, scanning of matrix bar codes.

7. A method comprising:
receiving a dynamic image;
generating a grid for the dynamic image;
determining one or more locations of one or more matrixed bar codes within the dynamic image; and
generating a registration mark, the registration mark indicating which coordinates of the grid correspond to the one or more locations of the one or more matrixed bar codes within the dynamic image.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the registration mark comprises a matrix corresponding to the grid, and wherein the registration mark comprises a plurality of cells indicating properties of the grid.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the registration mark indicates a frame that includes the one or more matrixed bar codes, and wherein the dynamic image is a video including a plurality of frames, the plurality of frames including the frame indicated by the registration mark.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the registration mark is integrated within one or more interlaced video scans.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the registration mark is embedded in the dynamic image.

12. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
performing, via a capturing device, based on the registration mark, scanning of matrix bar codes.

13. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause operations comprising:
receiving an image;
generating a grid for the image;
determining one or more locations of one or more matrixed bar codes within the image; and
generating a registration mark, the registration mark indicating which coordinates of the grid correspond to the one or more locations of the one or more matrixed bar codes within the image.

14. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the image is a video comprising a plurality of frames.

15. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the registration mark comprises a matrix corresponding to the grid, and wherein the registration mark comprises a plurality of cells indicating properties of the grid.

16. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the registration mark indicates a frame that includes the one or more matrixed bar codes, and wherein the image is a video including a plurality of frames, the plurality of frames including the frame indicated by the registration mark.

17. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the registration mark is integrated within one or more interlaced video scans.

18. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the registration mark is embedded in the image.

19. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , further comprising:
performing, via a capturing device, based on the registration mark, scanning of matrix bar codes.

20. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , further comprising:
determining an orientation of the image,
wherein generating the registration mark comprises generating the registration mark such that the registration mark indicates (i) the orientation of the image and (ii) which coordinates of the grid correspond to the one or more locations of the one or more matrixed bar codes within the image.
