Description

Method and system for information transmission based on graphic coded data

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of information processing, and more particularly, to a method and system for information transfer based on graphics encoded data.

Background

The popularity of coded data enables devices with computing capabilities to read, process, and express information. At present, the trend of information processing by two-dimensional codes of mobile devices is more and more common. Two-dimensional codes are a very popular encoding method applied to mobile devices in recent years, and can store more information and represent more data types than traditional bar codes.

The two-dimensional code records data symbol information by using black and white patterns which are distributed on a plane (in a two-dimensional direction) according to a certain rule and a certain specific geometric figure. In terms of code encoding, the two-dimensional code skillfully utilizes the concepts of '0' and '1' bit streams forming the internal logic basis of a computer, and uses a plurality of geometric shapes corresponding to binary systems to represent literal numerical information. The image input device or the photoelectric scanning device can automatically read the two-dimensional code to realize automatic information processing. Two-dimensional codes have some commonalities in barcode technology: each code system has a specific character set, each character occupies a certain width, and has a certain checking function. In addition, the two-dimensional code also has a function of automatically recognizing information on different lines and a function of processing a figure rotation change point.

Currently, the two-dimensional codes are all square in shape, for example, quick response QR codes. As shown in fig. 2, the QR code 200 is square and has black and white. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a QR code in the related art, in which 3 of 4 corners of the QR code 200 are provided with a square pattern which is small and looks like a "square" word. These 3 patterns are a scale that helps the decoding software locate the QR code 200 so that the user does not need to align and scan at any angle, yet can correctly read the data.

However, since the display screen of the current mobile terminal is usually rectangular, when the two-dimensional code with a square shape is used for expanding the data amount, the limitation of the short side (i.e. width) of the display screen is bound. In addition, due to the limitation of the short side (i.e. width) of the display screen, the two-dimensional code cannot be made to carry more data information.

The terminology used in the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings is not intended to be limiting of the invention. In the drawings, the same units/elements are denoted by the same reference numerals.

Unless otherwise defined, terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Further, it will be understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method 100 for information transfer based on graphically encoded data in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, method 100 begins at step 101.

In step 101, application description information associated with a user device is obtained, and a plurality of applications desiring information transfer by graphically encoded data are determined based on the application description information. The application description information includes a plurality of description items, and the format of each description item is < application name, application type, associated device type, encoded data flag >. For example, < Payment Bao, Payment type, iOS, Yes > and < Payment Bao, Payment type, Andriod, Yes > are used to indicate that the Payment Bao application is of a Payment type application, and whether it is an iOS operating system or Andriod operating system, the graphical encoded data needs to be used. In general, description items may be set by a provider of an application, a provider of an operating system, an application store, the user device itself, and application description information associated with the user device is formed from a plurality of the set description items. Therefore, each application which wants to carry out information transmission through the graphic coded data can be determined through the analysis of each description item in the application description information.

At step 102, a maximum amount of information required for each application to communicate information through a single graphic coded data is determined based on information communication requirements of each of a plurality of applications. The information transfer requirements of each application are determined according to the data integrity required when each application carries out information transfer through the pattern coding data. The data integrity is the maximum possible data volume, namely the peak data volume, required for ensuring that information is not divided when each application carries out information transmission through the pattern coding data. Where the information transfer requirements include the amount of peak data involved in order to meet data integrity. The maximum information quantity required when each application carries out information transmission through single graph coded data is determined according to the peak data quantity. For example, the present application may use the peak data amount as the maximum information amount, 1.2 times the peak data amount as the maximum information amount, and 0.9 times the peak data amount as the maximum information amount.

At step 103, the graphical interface for providing the graphical encoded data for each application is parsed to determine a display range that each application can use to display the graphical encoded data. The graphical interface is an interface for information transmission by utilizing graphically coded data of each application. For example, a graphical interface for a payment instrument for providing graphically encoded data includes: two-dimensional code for showing payment, bar code for showing payment, bank card information, member level, prompt information and the like. The display range is a range for displaying graphically encoded data in the graphical interface, i.e., a region of the graphical interface representing the two-dimensional code for payment. In the present application, the shape of the display range is rectangular and the shape of the image area is rectangular. That is, the shape of the display range is a square or a rectangle and the shape of the image area is a square or a rectangle. As shown in fig. 3, the shape of the display range is a rectangle, and the shape of the image area is a rectangle.

In step 104, the encoding ratio of each image area applied for the graphics-coded data is determined based on the display range and the maximum information amount for displaying the graphics-coded data. Wherein determining the encoding ratio of each image region to which the graphically encoded data is applied based on the display range and the maximum amount of information for displaying the graphically encoded data comprises: and determining the length and the width of the display range for displaying the graphic coded data. Currently, the external shape of a mobile terminal (e.g., a mobile phone) is mostly rectangular or approximately rectangular. For this reason, the display plane of the display screen of the mobile terminal is also typically rectangular or approximately rectangular, i.e. both the mobile terminal and the display screen present a width and a length. Generally, the length is greater than the width, and the length and width do not vary in the present application with the lateral and longitudinal placement of the mobile terminal. The length and width of the display range determined by the present application is the largest display area or range that can be used to display the graphically encoded data.

And determining the transverse coding quantity of each image area applied to the graphics coding data according to the width of the display range. Typically, the width occupied by the horizontal encoding of the image area for the graphics encoded data is less than the width of the display range. As shown in fig. 3, the width of the horizontal encoding is, for example, the distance between the two main scales 311-1 and 311-2 (including themselves) located at the upper part of the image encoded data, and the width of the vertical encoding is, for example, the distance between the two main scales 311-2 and 311-3 (including themselves) located at the upper part of the image encoded data. It should be understood that when the graphic coded data contains less data information, the width of the graphic coded data does not occupy the width of the display range. That is, the width of the display range may be regarded as the maximum width of an image area for graphics-encoded data per application, and the maximum number of lateral encodings is determined based on the maximum width of the image area and the size of a symbol (or 1/4 symbols).

And determining the longitudinal coding number of each image area applied to the graphics coding data according to the length of the display range and the maximum information amount. Wherein determining the number of vertical encodings per image area applied for graphically encoded data based on the length of the display range and the maximum amount of information comprises: the preselected number of vertical codes is determined based on the maximum amount of information and the number of horizontal codes. The maximum information amount related to the data information of the pattern coded data determines the area of the pattern coded data, and for example, the area of the pattern coded data can be determined based on the maximum information amount and the size of the symbol (or 1/4 symbols). For example, in the case where the number of horizontal encodings of an image region for graphics-encoded data is determined, the number of vertical encodings per image region to which graphics-encoded data is applied may be determined in accordance with the length of the display range and the maximum amount of information. This is because the maximum information amount of a single pattern coded data can determine the number of symbols of this pattern coded data, and the number of vertical codes can be determined from the number of symbols and the number of horizontal codes.

When it is determined that the length of the display range can accommodate the preselected number of vertical encodings, the preselected number of vertical encodings is determined as the number of vertical encodings per image area applied for graphically encoded data. When it is determined that the length of the display range cannot accommodate the preselected number of vertical encodings, the maximum vertical encodings that the display range can accommodate is determined as the number of vertical encodings per image area to which the graphic encodings are applied.

It should be understood that, for a single graphic coded data, the smaller the size (display size or presentation size) of a symbol or 1/4 symbol (1/4 symbol is an elementary data unit of the graphic coded data, representing 1 or 0), the more information (system information, header information, and data information) can be accommodated by the single graphic coded data.

The encoding ratio of each image region to which the image encoding data is applied is determined based on the number of horizontal encodings and the number of vertical encodings. For example, if the number of horizontal codes of a specific application is 62 and the number of vertical codes is 100, then the coding ratio of the image area for graphics coded data of the specific application is 0.62. In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the coding ratio is 0.618.

When a specific application of the plurality of applications desires to perform information transfer, the specific application generates original graphics encoding data conforming to the encoding ratio and performs information transfer based on the original graphics encoding data conforming to the encoding ratio, in step 105. The original graphic encoding data in conformity with the encoding ratio may include three main scales, a system information area and a backup information area. Three of which are used to locate the graphics encoded data for the scanner or decoder. The main scaling is responsible for image recognition and positioning of the graphics encoding data.

The system information region includes two symbols, where each symbol may indicate 4 binary data bits or bits. The system information area represents the size level of the graphic encoded data, i.e., levels 0 to 63, using 6 bits, and represents the error correction level of the graphic encoded data, i.e., levels 0 to 3, using 2 bits. The system information area is located in the upper left corner of the graphics coded data. The content setting of the backup information area is identical to that of the system information area, and the content in the system information area and the backup information area of the same pattern coded data is identical. The backup information area is located at the lower right corner of the graphic coded data. It should be appreciated that the backup information area and the system information area may be disposed at any reasonable location of the pattern encoded data.

Further, the original graphic encoding data in conformity with the encoding scale may further include sub-scalings, and the number of the sub-scalings may be 0 or at least one. The sub-scaling is used for auxiliary positioning, i.e. for auxiliary positioning of encoded data in the graphics encoded data. For example, sub-scaling is responsible for symbol positioning in graphically encoded data. The greater the number of sub-scales required as the more information is conveyed by the graphically encoded data.

The original graphic coding data conforming to the coding scale comprises: configuration information, header information, and data information. The configuration information may include the following: version number, header information flag bit, block flag bit, data information configuration, user-defined configuration data, header information configuration, and block configuration information. Wherein the version number occupies 2 bits: version numbers range from 00 to 11(0-3), giving a total of 4 versions. Header information flag bit occupies 1 bit: identify whether there is title information: 1- > has a title; 0- > without title. The block flag bit occupies 1 bit: for identifying whether the current image coded data is a block: 1- > the current graphics coded data is a subcode; 0- > the current graphics coded data is the mother code. The user-defined configuration data occupies 2 bits: from 00 to 11(0-3), a total of 4 custom configuration data versions can be represented.

The data information configuration occupies 16 bits and includes: encryption, zip flag, data type, and data length. Wherein the encryption mode occupies 2 bits: 00- > is not encrypted; 01- > default AESTR encryption; 10- > reserving a system; and 11- > user-defined encryption. The Zip flag bit occupies 1 bit: 1- > the content is coded after zip encryption; 0- > content is normally encoded. The data type occupies 1 bit: 0- > UTF-8 text; 1- > binary. The data length occupies 12 bits: for indicating the byte information (maximum 4095 bytes) included in the data information.

The header information configuration occupies 9 bits and includes: zip flag bits and data length. Wherein the zip flag bit occupies 1 bit: 1- > encoding with zip encrypted title; 0- > title is normal encoding. The data length occupies 8 bits: for indicating byte information (maximum 255 bytes) included in the header information.

The blocking configuration information occupies 70 bits and includes: the total number of blocks, the block number, and the hash value of the parent block. Where the total number of blocks (total number of subcodes) occupies 3 bits: from 000 to 111(0-7), a total represents 8 blocks in number, 000- > 1 block; 001- > 2 blocks in total; … … are provided. The block number (subcode number) occupies 3 bits: from 000 to 111(0-7), representing the current block number index, 000- > Block 1; 001- > block 2; … … are provided. The mother block hash value takes 64 bits: for identifying whether a plurality of sub-blocks are sub-blocks of the same mother block and identifying whether the mother block in which the sub-blocks are merged is correct. Wherein the 64-bit hash value may be obtained by selectively truncating the 128-bit hash value.

The header information indicates a header of the graphic encoded data as the mother code or the graphic encoded data as the child code. The data information is data content desired to be transmitted/expressed as the pattern code data of the mother code or the pattern code data of the child code.

The method also comprises the step of compressing the header information and/or the data information in the original graphics coding data to generate compressed graphics coding data, wherein the area of the compressed graphics coding data is smaller than or equal to that of the original graphics coding data. For example, header information and/or data information in original graphics coding data is compressed by a zip method to generate compressed graphics coding data, and the area of the zip compressed graphics coding data is smaller than or equal to that of the original graphics coding data. This is because the header information and/or the data information may be compressed, which may result in a shorter length or width of the graphics-encoded data. The application also includes information transfer based on the compressed graphics encoding data.

FIG. 11 is a block diagram of a system 1100 for information transfer based on graphically encoded data, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 11, system 1100 includes: acquisition means 1101, information amount determination means 1102, range determination means 1103, proportion determination means 1104, transmission means 1105, demand determination means 1106, compression means 1107, encryption means 1108, division means 1109 and setting means 1110.

The acquisition means 1101 acquires application description information associated with the user device, and determines a plurality of applications that desire information transfer by the graphic encoded data based on the application description information. The application description information includes a plurality of description items, and the format of each description item is < application name, application type, associated device type, encoded data flag >. For example, < Payment Bao, Payment type, iOS, Yes > and < Payment Bao, Payment type, Andriod, Yes > are used to indicate that the Payment Bao application is of a Payment type application, and whether it is an iOS operating system or Andriod operating system, the graphical encoded data needs to be used. In general, description items may be set by a provider of an application, a provider of an operating system, an application store, the user device itself, and application description information associated with the user device is formed from a plurality of the set description items. Therefore, each application which wants to carry out information transmission through the graphic coded data can be determined through the analysis of each description item in the application description information.

The information amount determining means 1102 determines the maximum amount of information required for each application to perform information transfer by a single graphic coded data according to the information transfer requirement of each application in the plurality of applications. The application utilizes the requirement determining means 1106 to determine the information transfer requirement of each application according to the data integrity required when each application performs information transfer by graphically encoding data. The data integrity is the maximum possible data volume, namely the peak data volume, required for ensuring that information is not divided when each application carries out information transmission through the pattern coding data. Where the information transfer requirements include the amount of peak data involved in order to meet data integrity. The information amount determining means 102 determines the maximum amount of information required for information transfer by a single pattern-coded data per application from the peak data amount. For example, the present application may use the peak data amount as the maximum information amount, 1.2 times the peak data amount as the maximum information amount, and 0.9 times the peak data amount as the maximum information amount.

The scope determining means 1103 parses the graphical interface of each application for providing the graphical encoded data to determine a display scope that each application can use for displaying the graphical encoded data. The graphical interface is an interface for information transmission by utilizing graphically coded data of each application. For example, a graphical interface for a payment instrument for providing graphically encoded data includes: two-dimensional code for showing payment, bar code for showing payment, bank card information, member level, prompt information and the like. The display range is a range for displaying graphically encoded data in the graphical interface, i.e., a region of the graphical interface representing the two-dimensional code for payment. In the present application, the shape of the display range is rectangular and the shape of the image area is rectangular. That is, the shape of the display range is a square or a rectangle and the shape of the image area is a square or a rectangle. As shown in fig. 3, the shape of the display range is a rectangle, and the shape of the image area is a rectangle.

The scale determining means 1104 determines the encoding scale of each image area to which the graphics-encoded data is applied based on the display range for displaying the graphics-encoded data and the maximum information amount. Wherein determining the encoding ratio of each image region to which the graphically encoded data is applied based on the display range and the maximum amount of information for displaying the graphically encoded data comprises: and determining the length and the width of the display range for displaying the graphic coded data. Currently, the external shape of a mobile terminal (e.g., a mobile phone) is mostly rectangular or approximately rectangular. For this reason, the display plane of the display screen of the mobile terminal is also typically rectangular or approximately rectangular, i.e. both the mobile terminal and the display screen present a width and a length. Generally, the length is greater than the width, and the length and width do not vary in the present application with the lateral and longitudinal placement of the mobile terminal. The length and width of the display range determined by the present application is the largest display area or range that can be used to display the graphically encoded data.

The transferring means 1105 is used for prompting a specific application of the plurality of applications to generate the original graphics coding data in conformity with the coding ratio when the specific application wishes to perform information transfer, and performing information transfer based on the original graphics coding data in conformity with the coding ratio. The original graphic encoding data in conformity with the encoding ratio may include three main scales, a system information area and a backup information area. Three of which are used to locate the graphics encoded data for the scanner or decoder. The main scaling is responsible for image recognition and positioning of the graphics encoding data.

The compression device 1107 is configured to compress header information and/or data information in the original graphics coding data to generate compressed graphics coding data, where the area of the compressed graphics coding data is smaller than or equal to the area of the original graphics coding data. For example, header information and/or data information in original graphics coding data is compressed by a zip method to generate compressed graphics coding data, and the area of the zip compressed graphics coding data is smaller than or equal to that of the original graphics coding data. This is because the header information and/or the data information may be compressed, which may result in a shorter length or width of the graphics-encoded data. The application also includes information transfer based on the compressed graphics encoding data.
