Abstract:
1. A method of capturing and reading a pattern image having multiple pages equal to or more than three pages generated from predetermined information by using capturing means provided in a reading apparatus, wherein the multiple pages are dynamic picture images displayed on a display screen sequentially and successively at a time interval and cyclically and repetitively, and the pattern image is configured such that each page includes relevant page information of the pattern image indicating a position of the relevant page, the method comprising a step of: when two pages of the pattern image have been read, predicting a capturing timing of each remaining unread page of the pattern image according to a capturing time interval between the first two pages of the pattern image and relevant page information of each of the first two pages of the pattern image; generating a capturing timing table based on the calculation result; and capturing each remaining unread page of the pattern image according to the generated timing table; and correcting the predicted capturing timing in the table when each page of the pattern image has not been read in accordance with capturing timing in the table in the step of capturing and reading the remaining unread pages of the pattern image.
