摘要： To print a code to be read by a machine as well as information to be read by a user on a limited print surface with efficiency. An ID pattern is defined in a frequency domain and is transformed through an inverse Fourier transform. As a result of the inverse Fourier transform, the ID pattern becomes a pattern (ID background image) dispersed across a screen. In the printing apparatus according to the present invention, the ID background image is set as a background image, on which human-readable information composed of characters, images (designs), and/or the like are printed. Even thought the ID background image is lost, in a portion in which the human-readable information printed, it is possible to restore the ID pattern by Fourier-transforming the pattern in a remaining portion of the ID background image. A print medium, on which the human-readable information is printed with the ID background image as a background, is photographed with a camera provided for a mobile telephone, and photographed image data is transmitted from the mobile telephone to a URL server apparatus. The URL server receives the photographed image data from the mobile telephone, to subject the data to the Fourier transform, to thereby extract the ID pattern therefrom.

摘要： A thermal activation device has a thermal head having heat generating elements for thermally activating a heat-sensitive adhesive layer of a heat-sensitive self-adhesive sheet. The heat-sensitive self-adhesive sheet has a sheet-like substrate having a printable surface on a first side thereof and the heat-sensitive adhesive layer on a second side thereof. An energy control device controls the thermal head by applying one or more voltage pulses to the heat generating elements for energizing the heat generating elements to thereby thermally activate an area of the heat-sensitive self-adhesive layer in one step. When a series of the voltage pulses are applied to the heat generating elements, the energy control device selectively switches between the heat generating elements to be energized by the voltage pulses each time one of the voltage pulses is applied.
