1. A barcode image generating apparatus, comprising:
- a barcode image generation section which generates a barcode based on a barcode ID;
a feature input section which inputs a meaningful feature related to the barcode image; and
a visual expression determination section which determines a visual expression specification of the barcode image based on the meaningful feature inputted by the feature input section,wherein the barcode generating section generates a basic barcode image based on the barcode ID, and generates the barcode by having the visual expression specification determined by the visual expression determination section be reflected in the basic barcode.
