Abstract: A method of decoding a color barcode involves simultaneously illuminating the color barcode with three light zones in a manner that illuminates each bar of the color barcode with each of the three spatially separated light zones, where the three light zones are each illuminated by a different one of three colors; capturing a monochrome image of light reflected off of the color barcode that includes each of the bars in the barcode illuminated by the three light zones; and for each bar in the color barcode, determining a color of the bar by analysis of the intensity of the light captured in the image of the reflected light intensity in each of the three light zones.

Abstract: Implementations of the present application provide methods and devices for linking to an account and providing service processing. In one example method, an uncertified server can receive a linking request sent by a terminal device, wherein the linking request corresponds to a user account logged in by a user to the uncertified server. The uncertified service can transmit, to the terminal device, a predetermined instruction based on the linking request, wherein the predetermined instruction instructs the terminal device to send a real service account request to a certified server based on predetermined instruction. The uncertified server can later receive, from the terminal device, a virtual service account identifier generated by the certified server in response to the real service account request sent by the terminal device to the certified server.
