Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An optically scannable code antenna is provided. Encoded matrix codes are printed with electrically conductive material on a substrate. An antenna pattern is generated on the substrate from the electrically conductive material. Enclosed information in the matrix code and accessible via the antenna pattern is provided. At least a portion of the antenna pattern is also a portion of the matrix code. Signals are transmitted and received from the antenna pattern made up of a portion of the matrix code formed on the substrate by electrically conductive materials. Authentication and security measures using the matrix code and signal from the antenna pattern are also provided.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising steps of: providing a substrate; encoding scannable code information on the substrate in a boundaried arrangement of a plurality of modules; conductively linking a subset of the plurality of modules within the boundaried arrangement; providing a feed point in operable communication with the subset of the plurality of modules, the feed point being capable of receiving and transmitting a signal; and communicating one or more types…
