SYSTEM AND METHOD PROVIDING FOR SELF-HEALING VISUAL CODES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US 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 be used to identify visual codes, even if they are compromised or not fully scanned. The system uses supplemental information, such as location, images, and audio, along with a readable portion of the visual code, to determine the identity of the code and provide related information. This allows the system to accurately identify visual codes even if they are partially scanned or compromised.
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.
