Abstract:
A container for a beverage or foodstuff preparation machine, the container for containing beverage or foodstuff material and comprising a code encoding preparation information, the code comprising a reference portion and a data portion: the reference portion comprising reference units defining a reference line r; the data portion comprising a data unit, wherein said data unit is arranged on an encoding line D that intersects the reference line r, the data unit is arranged a distance d from said intersection as a variable to at least partially encode a parameter of the preparation information, whereby said encoding line D is circular and is arranged with a tangent thereto orthogonal the reference line r at said intersection point, wherein the reference units are arranged with a configuration defining a reference point from which the reference line r extends.

Claim (Index 20):
Container for a beverage preparation machine or foodstuff preparation machine, the container for containing beverage or foodstuff material and comprising a code encoding preparation information, the code comprising a reference portion and a data portion,\n the reference portion comprising an arrangement of at least two reference units defining a virtual reference line; the data portion comprising: a pair of data units arranged on a virtual encoding line which intersects the virtual reference line at a virtual intersection point, the pair of data units being arranged at any distance along the virtual encoding line from the virtual intersection point, the distance encoding a value of a parameter of the preparation information, whereby the virtual encoding line is circular or comprises a segment of a circle and is arranged with a tangent thereto orthogonal the virtual reference line at the virtual intersection point; and one or more further data units occupying a one or more of discrete positions arranged on the virtual encoding line, whereby the discrete positions either comprise or do not comprise a further data unit of the one or more further data units as a variable to at least partially encode a parameter of the preparation information, and whereby the discrete positions on the virtual encoding line are each arranged at a location determined relative to the distance encoding said value of a parameter of the preparation information, wherein the centers of the two data units of the pair of data units are separated from each other by a distance, wherein the discrete positions are spaced apart from the closest data unit of the pair of data units by distances different from the distance between the two data units of the pair of data units, wherein: the discrete positions are arranged with a distance between the centers of two adjacent discrete positions, a distance between the center of a discrete position adjacent the pair of data units and the center of the closest data unit of the pair of data units is equal to the distance between two adjacent discrete positions, and the distance between two adjacent discrete positions is not a multiple nor a divisor of the distance between the two data units of said pair of data units.
