Patent ID: 8851392

Claim:
A two-dimensional code display apparatus comprising: a display unit displaying two-dimensional codes presenting given information; and a display control unit controlling display of multiple two-dimensional codes, each two-dimensional code presenting the same information in compliance with a different standard, on said display unit so that the two-dimensional codes are displayed sequentially, wherein said display unit displays image-added two-dimensional codes in which a two-dimensional code presenting given information is superimposed on a first given image to show at least a portion of the two-dimensional code within a region where the first given image is shown, wherein said display control unit controls display of multiple image-added two-dimensional codes, each image-added two dimensional code presenting the same information in compliance with a different standard, on said display unit so that the image-added two dimensional codes and the first given image are displayed sequentially, wherein the image-added two-dimensional codes each comprise a first cell that is superimposed on a first portion of the first given image, and a second cell that is superimposed on a second portion of the first given image, wherein the first cell has a luminosity less than a given value and the second cell has a luminosity equal to or greater than the given value, and the first portion of the first given image has a luminosity equal to or greater than the given value and the second portion of the first given image has a luminosity less than the given value, and wherein the given information is represented by a distribution pattern of the first portion of the first given image and the second cell, and of the second portion of the first given image and the first cell.
