Patent ID: 8549400

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving, by a computer system, a media object; encoding, by the computer system, the media object to generate a bit stream corresponding to the media object, the bit stream including a plurality of bits; determining, by the computer system, first information from the media object; extracting and discarding, by the computer system, one or more bits from the bit stream to generate a first bit stream, wherein the one or more bits correspond to the first information and wherein the first bit stream includes a first plurality of bits; determining, by the computer system, that the first plurality of bits is equal to or less than a threshold number of bits; encoding, based on the determination, by the computer system, the first bit stream to generate second information; outputting, by the computer system on a medium, a first static visual representation of the first information and a second static visual representation of the second information, wherein the second static visual representation comprises a barcode.
