Abstract: An information code includes a code region composed of a plurality of light-color modules and a plurality of dark-color modules. The code region includes a specified area which is preset and disables decoding of the information code by shielding light. The specified area is covered by a covering which exhibits a dark-color reflectance property when light of a first wavelength band is radiated thereto and which is transmissive to light of a second wavelength band. The first and second wavelength bands differ from each other. The light of the first wavelength band is visible light for example. Comparison between information code images imaged respectively on the light of the first and second wavelength bands makes it possible to determine whether the information code or an object with the information code is authentic.

Abstract: An information-code-image capturing apparatus operates for emitting light toward an article moving along a carry path, and receiving reflected light and capturing an image of an information code on the article. The information-code-image capturing apparatus includes a detecting device for detecting that the article reaches a predetermined position in the carry path. An image capturing device operates for capturing the image on the basis of the reflected light when a time interval has elapsed since a moment at which the detecting device detects that the article reaches the predetermined position. A positional information calculating device n operates for calculating positional information on the basis of the image captured by the image capturing device. The positional information enables an area of the information code to be determined in the captured image.
