A fully automated system for the work of fee payment in supermarkets and other distribution outlets has a conveyance means 1 that conveys products 8 to be purchased, a reading means 2 that reads box codes printed on the products, a recognition means 3 that specifies the product names, quantities, and prices by the image read, referring to the read box codes by a merchandise control table 4, a computation means 5 that totals up the specified products and calculates the price to be paid, a display means 7 that displays the calculated monetary amount to be paid, and an exact-calculation means 6 that carries out the exact-calculation procedure by cash payment or a box-code prepaid card 10 according to the displayed price to be paid.

A copy protected recording medium (1) comprises a readable medium containing data encrypted according to at least one encryption method. A geometric box code (2) identifying the encryption method or methods used is associated with the readable medium by, for example, printing the geometric code onto the medium. The geometric code comprises at least one planer geometric figure formed by a plurality of lines, each of the lines encoding a bit of data by being either in an unbroken continuous state or in a broken discontinuous state, where each of the broken and the unbroken states correspond to one of the standard on/off digital states.

A coded card on which are written, by way of a card writing means, prescribed digits and characters, expressed in a box figure code having four segments. Information on the location of card matching data is written into a matching data position recording area in an initial code area. When read by of a card reader, if the matching data is present in the places indicated in the position information in the matching data position recording area, the card is judged to be genuine. However, if the matching data is not present in the places indicated in the position information, it is judged to be of a fake card made by recombining portions of a used card with a new low value cards.

A coded card on which is encoded, by way of a card writing means, prescribed digits and characters, expressed in a two dimensional nested figure code. The digits and characters representing information are encoded on the card according to an encoding protocol using a variety of encoding variables. The encoding protocol used uniquely corresponds to a key code and is selected from a plurality of protocols and identified with the coded card by imprinting the corresponding key code on the card in a specified location. The key code is itself a two dimensional nested figure code of the same variety as the two dimensional nested figure codes that encode the main encoded information. The key code is read by a standard key reading protocol that does not change from card to card in the way that the main decoding protocol changes.

摘要:
In reception/shipment management of articles (1), reception/shipment management marks (2) are printed on each article. Each management mark (2) consists of a two-dimensional code symbol which includes a plurality of nested polygonal elements of different sizes, each of which represents information for management. Each side of each polygonal element is selectively cut or left uncut so as to represent a binary digit. Examples of the information for management includes a product name, a product number, a delivery destination, and a product origin. When each article is received, the management marks are detected and decoded so as to obtain the above-described information, based on which articles are to be shipped.

摘要:
A two-dimensional code symbol for use in prepaid cards comprises a plurality of square basic units (Figure 3). For representation of information regarding numerals and characters, each basic unit includes four square elements. The four square elements have different sizes and are disposed concentrically. Each side (a, b, c, d; a1, b1, c1, d1) of the square element is selectively cut to represent a binary digit, and the basic unit as a whole represents, for example, a 16-digit binary number. Each side of the element may be selectively cut in accordance with coded information such as the Morse code. In this case, the data compression ratio increases more. When in a prepaid card, the two-dimensional code symbol is used to represent the unit price of purchase of specific merchandise or the unit price of payment, the basic unit including only one square element is used. In this case, basic units are printed on a prepaid card in the number needed to indicate an issued amount of money, and a basic unit(s) corresponding to a required amount of payment is filled in to thereby make payment by the card.
