SYSTEM AND METHOD PROVIDING FOR SELF-HEALING VISUAL CODES: abstract simplified (18044174)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18044174 Titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD PROVIDING FOR SELF-HEALING VISUAL CODES'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a system and method that can identify and provide information about visual codes, even if the codes are compromised or scanned inadequately. The system uses supplemental information, such as location, images, and audio, along with a readable portion of the visual code, to identify the code and provide relevant information. This allows the system to determine the location of the scanned visual code and identify it based on the available data and supplemental information.

Original Abstract Submitted

A system and method is provide which allows supplemental information to be used, in combination with a portion of a visual code that is readable, to identify the visual code, and to provide information related to the visual code, even in the event of a scan of a compromised visual code and/or an inadequate scan of the visual code which yields only a portion of the data payload associated with the visual code. The supplemental information may include, for example, location based information, image based information, audio based information, and other types of information which may allow the system to discriminate a location of the scanned visual code, and to identify the scanned visual code visual code based on the portion of the data payload and the supplemental information.
