Publication number: 20230106825Abstract: Technology for generating, reading, and using machine-readable codes is disclosed. There is a method, performed by an image capture device, for reading and using the codes. The method includes obtaining an image, identifying an area in the image having a machine-readable code. The method also includes, within the image area, finding a predefined start marker defining a start point and a predefined stop marker defining a stop point, an axis being defined there between. A plurality of axis points can be defined along the axis. For each axis point, a first distance within the image area to a mark is determined. The distance can be measured from the axis point in a first direction which is orthogonal to the axis. The first distances can be converted to a binary code using Gray code such that each first distance encodes at least one bit of data in the code.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2022Publication date: April 6, 2023Applicant: Spotify ABInventors: Keenan CASSIDY, Damian FERRAI, Ludvig STRIGEUS, Mattias SVALA, Nicklas SÖDERLIND, Jimmy WAHLBERG
