Abstract
A product is provided with a coding pattern, which codes position information in the form of coordinates for a plurality of points on the product with the aid of a plurality of marks belonging to each point. The marks have a first parameter which varies for coding of the position information. The marks additionally have a second parameter which varies for coding of further information in the coding pattern. A method and a device for coding of the coding pattern and a method and a device for decoding of the coding pattern are also described.

- 1. A product which is provided with a coding pattern, which codes position information in the form of coordinates for a plurality of points on the product utilizing a plurality of marks belonging to each point, the plurality of marks referencing a common raster, each mark of the plurality of marks having a first parameter which varies for coding of the position information, and each mark of the plurality of marks have a second parameter which varies for coding of further information in the coding pattern.
- 18. A method in a coding device for coding of a coding pattern which codes position information in the form of coordinates for a plurality of points utilizing a plurality of marks belonging to each point, the plurality of marks referencing a common raster, comprising allocating, for the coding of the position information, to each mark of the plurality of marks one of at least two predetermined values for a first parameter, wherein each mark of the plurality of marks is allocated one of at least two predetermined values for a second parameter for coding of further information in the coding pattern.
-
33. A device for coding of a coding pattern, which codes position information in the form of coordinates for a plurality of points utilizing a plurality of marks belonging to each point, the plurality of marks referencing a common raster, comprising:
a processor for determining a value for a first parameter and a value for a second parameter for each mark of the plurality of marks, and a memory for storing the values of each mark of the plurality of marks for the first parameter and the second parameter.
- 34. A method for decoding, in a decoding device, of a coding pattern which codes position information in the form of coordinates for a plurality of points on a product utilizing a plurality of marks belonging to each point, the plurality of marks referencing a common raster, comprising receiving a digital representation of the coding pattern, decoding the position information utilizing a value for the first parameter for at least some of the marks of the plurality of marks in the digital representation, wherein further information is decoded from the coding pattern on the basis of the value for a second parameter for at least some of the marks of the plurality of marks in the digital representation.
-
40. A device for decoding of a coding pattern which codes position information in the form of coordinates for a plurality of points on a product utilizing a plurality of marks belonging to each point, the plurality of marks referencing a common raster, which device comprises a processor which is arranged to receive a digital representation of the coding pattern, to decode the position information with the aid of the value for the first parameter for at least some of the marks of the plurality of marks in the digital representation, wherein the processor is also arranged to decode further inforamtion from the coding pattern based on the value for a second parameter for at least some of the marks of the plurality of marks in the digital representation.
-
41. A product with a coding pattern which codes coordinates for a plurality of points on the product through variation of a first parameter of a plurality of marks belonging to each point, all marks on the product referencing a common raster;
- which coding pattern is used for digital recording of information which is written on the coding pattern; and
which coding pattern comprises at least a first area and a second area;
said information which is recorded digitally being processed in different ways depending on from which of said areas the information is recorded, and the first area and the second area being coded in the coding pattern through variation of a second parameter of marks of the first and second area.
- which coding pattern is used for digital recording of information which is written on the coding pattern; and
-
42. A product which is provided with a position-coding pattern which codes coordinates for a plurality of points on the product based on a number sequence which has the property that a partial sequence of the number sequence of a predetermined length has an unambiguously defined position in the number sequence, said number sequence having at least a first section and a second section which each have the property and areas with a position-coding pattern on the product having different properties depending on whether they are coded with the first section or the second section of the number sequence.
