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 23):
Container according to  claim 20 , wherein the code comprises at least one further virtual encoding line concentrically arranged with the virtual encoding line, intersecting the virtual reference line at a further virtual intersection point different from the virtual intersection point and comprising:\n a further pair of data units arranged at any distance along the further virtual encoding line from the further virtual intersection point, the distance along the further virtual encoding line encoding a value of a further parameter of the preparation information; and one or more further data units occupying a one or more of discrete positions arranged on the further virtual encoding line, whereby the discrete positions arranged on the further virtual encoding line 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 further virtual encoding line are each arranged at a location determined relative to the distance along the further virtual encoding line and encoding the value of a further parameter of the preparation information, wherein the centers of the two data units of the further pair of data units are separated from each other by the distance between the two data units of the pair of data units, wherein the discrete positions arranged on the further virtual encoding line are spaced apart from the closest data unit of the further 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 arranged on the further virtual encoding line are arranged with the distance between two adjacent discrete positions between the centers of two adjacent discrete positions arranged on the further virtual encoding line, a distance between the center of a discrete position arranged on the further virtual encoding line and adjacent the further pair of data units and the center of the closest data unit of the further pair of data units is equal to the distance between two adjacent discrete positions.
