Claim One:
1. A method of reading and encoding barcode information comprising steps of: decoding a one-dimensional barcode image using an electronic device to obtain data encoded by the one-dimensional barcode image wherein the electronic device comprises a scanning device having a light source and a light sensor that translates optical impulses reflected from the one-dimensional barcode image into electrical signals and wherein said decoding comprises the electronic device processing the electrical signals to obtain the data encoded by the one-dimensional barcode image; encoding the data into a two-dimensional barcode image, the resulting two-dimensional barcode image containing encoded data obtained from the one-dimensional barcode and no other barcode, wherein said encoding the data into the two-dimensional barcode image further comprises encoding data that is redundant of the data obtained from the one-dimensional barcode image into the two-dimensional barcode image; and displaying the two-dimensional barcode image in a manner suitable for reading by a scanner configured for reading two-dimensional barcodes.
