20080198216 | BACKGROUND PATTERN IMAGE GENERATING METHOD - A block where basic units of a background pattern are arranged two-dimensionally is formed so as to stably read buried information from a printed background pattern. Binary or multivalued number is assigned to the block to express information. When a binary number (bit) is assigned to a block made up of background patterns in double size, error correction can be made if an error occurs only in one background pattern while reading the block. In each background pattern, a diagonal lacking its center part is drawn, and isolated dots are placed along the other diagonal. With this, while ensuring the stability of reading the buried information after the read by a scanner, the uniformness of appearance of the printed object can be ensured. | 08-21-2008 |
