Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“Code reading systems are capable of detecting embedded cod es such as codes included on physicalobjects, for example, a barcode printed on a product, a QR code displayed at a table of a restaurant,etc. Once detected, the embedded codes are then readable to provide additional information. The codereading systems leverage the additional information provided by reading the emb edded codes in a variety of different ways (e.g., a price of the product read fr om the barcode is added to a running total price, amenu for the restaurant is d isplayable based on reading the QR code, etc.).”
