The application has the application date of 2018, month 01 and day 30, and has the application numbers of: 201810090880.4 filed as a divisional application of the patent application entitled "a method, server, client and system for information identification".

Technical Field

Background

With the development of information digitization, bar codes are widely used in life, and two-dimensional codes, bar codes and the like provide convenience for life of people. For example, during a payment process, a merchant may be paid by scanning a two-dimensional code provided by the merchant. In the aspect of the use of the public facilities, the operations of borrowing, leasing, returning and the like of the public facilities can be realized by scanning the two-dimensional codes corresponding to the public facilities.

At present, when a user uses a device to scan a barcode, the device of the user usually obtains a barcode picture, and the device of the user decodes the barcode picture obtained by a client by using a decoding algorithm. But the barcode picture acquired by the user equipment may not be recognized due to the fact that the barcode is stained and the like. For example, if a stain exists on the acquired two-dimensional code picture, when the algorithm is executed to decode the two-dimensional code picture, a code value corresponding to the two-dimensional code may not be obtained, resulting in a scanning failure. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a more reliable information recognition method to improve the success rate of recognizing barcodes.

However, when the two-dimensional code on the vehicle pile is damaged or stained due to the reasons of picture fading, artificial damage and the like caused by sunlight, the client may not recognize the stained two-dimensional code, and the user cannot rent or return the vehicle. In another scenario, a user can pay attention to the public number of a merchant by scanning the public number two-dimensional code provided by the merchant, and then can participate in related activities provided by the merchant public number, but when the two-dimensional code has a stain, the user cannot pay attention to the merchant public number by scanning the two-dimensional code, so that the user cannot participate in the related activities in the merchant public number. Therefore, in the embodiment of the specification, when the user client cannot identify the barcodes such as the two-dimensional code, the barcode picture when the barcode is not contaminated can be screened out by comparing the picture of the barcode picture stored in the server with the picture of the barcode, and the code value of the barcode can be obtained by identifying the barcode picture when the barcode is not contaminated, so that the success rate of information identification is improved.

A specific embodiment of an information identification method of the present specification is described below. FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart diagram of one embodiment of an information identification method provided herein, which provides method steps as described in the embodiments or flowcharts, but may include more or fewer steps based on routine or non-inventive labor. The order of steps recited in the embodiments is merely one manner of performing the steps in a multitude of orders and does not represent the only order of execution. In practice, the system or apparatus may be implemented in a sequential or parallel manner (e.g., in the context of parallel processors or multi-threaded processing) as the embodiments or methods shown in the figures are executed. As shown in fig. 1 in particular, the method may comprise the following steps.

S102: and the code scanning client acquires the barcode picture to be identified, identifies the code value corresponding to the barcode picture to be identified, and sends a decoding request to the server if the identification fails. The decoding request includes: and the bar code picture to be identified.

The code scanning client can acquire a to-be-identified barcode picture, wherein the to-be-identified barcode picture comprises a second barcode. And identifying the target code value of the second bar code in the bar code picture to be identified. The barcode may be a barcode, a two-dimensional code, or the like.

And if the code scanning client fails to identify the barcode picture to be identified, a decoding request can be sent to the server. The decoding request may include the barcode picture to be recognized.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a picture of a barcode to be recognized in an embodiment provided in the present specification. If the code scanning client cannot identify the code value of the two-dimensional code shown in fig. 2, the code scanning client may send a request for identifying the two-dimensional code shown in fig. 2 to the server, where the request may include the two-dimensional code shown in fig. 2.

In another embodiment, the code scanning client may further send the identity information corresponding to the barcode picture to be recognized to the server.

S104: and the server receives the decoding request and screens out a target bar code picture matched with the bar code picture to be identified from the bar code pictures stored in the server.

The server may pre-store the barcode picture. The barcode picture stored by the server can be a recognizable barcode picture. The server may store the first barcode picture at a specified location. The designated location may be a location in memory for storing all barcode pictures.

In one embodiment, the server stored barcode picture may be sent by a gathering client. Specifically, the collecting client may acquire a first barcode picture, the collecting client may identify a code value corresponding to the first barcode picture by executing a decoding algorithm, and if the collecting client identifies the first code value corresponding to the first barcode picture, the collecting client may send the first barcode picture to the server. The server may receive and store the first barcode picture.

In another embodiment, the gathering client may further send a first code value corresponding to the first barcode picture to the server. Then, the server may further store a first code value corresponding to the first barcode picture.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a first barcode picture in an embodiment provided herein. By using a decoding algorithm, the collecting client can identify the code value corresponding to the two-dimensional code shown in fig. 3 as "hello". Then the gathering client may send the two-dimensional code image shown in fig. 3 to the server. The server may store the two-dimensional code picture. Further, the collecting server can also send the code value "hello" corresponding to the two-dimensional code shown in fig. 3 to the server. The server may store the code value "hello".

In another embodiment, the barcode picture stored by the server may be sent by the merchant client corresponding to the barcode. Specifically, after the merchant client generates a first barcode picture, the first barcode picture may be sent to the server. The server can receive and store a first barcode picture sent by a merchant client. Further, the merchant client can also send a first code value corresponding to the first barcode picture to the server. Then, the server may further store a first code value corresponding to the first barcode picture.

In one embodiment, the server may further store the identity information corresponding to the barcode picture in advance. The identity information may include: address information and/or name information. Specifically, the address information may be address information where a bar code in the bar code picture is located and/or a name of an object corresponding to the bar code in the bar code picture. For example, in an application scenario, if a barcode in a first barcode picture is a two-dimensional code on a public bicycle stake, the identity information of the first barcode picture may be location information of the public bicycle stake. In another application scenario, if the barcode in the first barcode picture is a public number two-dimensional code of a merchant, the identity information of the first barcode picture may be a name of the merchant and/or address information of the merchant.

Further, the picture pre-stored by the server may include: and the staging stores the bar code picture according to the identity information. Specifically, the method may include: and the server allocates the barcode picture of the storage address according to the identity information. In one application scenario, a public bike rental lot may have multiple public bike posts, and a post may have a two-dimensional code. Since the address information corresponding to the plurality of the stakes at the rental point is the same, the plurality of the two-dimensional codes at the rental point may correspond to the same identity information, and the two-dimensional code pictures with the same identity information may be stored at the same position. By distributing the storage position for the stored bar code picture by using the identity information, the corresponding bar code pictures with the same or similar object names and the same or similar address information can be stored at the same position, and the stored data can be managed and searched conveniently.

The server can receive a decoding request sent by the code scanning client. The server can acquire the barcode picture to be identified in the decoding request. The server can screen out a target bar code picture matched with the bar code picture to be identified from the bar code pictures stored by the server.

The screening of the target barcode picture matched with the barcode picture to be identified from the barcode pictures stored in the server may include: and calculating the similarity between the barcode picture stored in the server and the barcode picture to be identified, and screening the barcode picture with the highest similarity as a target barcode picture.

In one embodiment, the server may further receive identity information corresponding to the barcode picture to be recognized, which is sent by the code scanning client. Further, the server may determine candidate barcode pictures according to the identity information corresponding to the barcode picture to be recognized, and screen out a target barcode picture matched with the barcode picture to be recognized from the candidate barcode pictures.

The server may determine, according to the identity information corresponding to the barcode picture to be recognized, that the candidate barcode picture may include: the barcode picture with the identity information identical to that of the barcode picture to be identified can be used as the candidate barcode picture.

In an application scenario, multiple two-dimensional code pictures with the same address information may be stored at the same position of the server, for example, address information corresponding to two-dimensional codes on 20 bicycle posts stored at the storage position "position 1" of the server is "beijing city people road No. 1", then, when the two-dimensional code requested to be decoded by the code scanning client is the two-dimensional code shown in fig. 2, and the identity information corresponding to the two-dimensional code is "beijing city people road No. 1", the two-dimensional codes on 20 bicycle posts stored at the storage position "position 1" may be taken as candidate barcode pictures. The server may screen out the barcode picture with the highest similarity to the barcode picture to be identified (e.g., the two-dimensional code picture shown in fig. 3) from the 20 candidate barcode pictures as the target barcode picture.

By utilizing the identity information, the stored bar code picture can be preliminarily screened, the similarity is further calculated from the result of the preliminary screening, the calculated amount can be reduced, and the matching efficiency of the bar code picture is improved.

S106: and the server sends the target bar code picture to the code scanning client.

The server may send the target barcode picture to the barcode scanning client.

S108: and the code scanning client receives the target bar code picture, identifies a target code value corresponding to the target bar code picture, and takes the target code value as a code value corresponding to the bar code picture to be identified.

In one embodiment, the code scanning client may receive the target barcode picture, identify a target code value corresponding to the target barcode picture, and use the identified target code value as a code value corresponding to the barcode picture to be identified.

For example, if the barcode picture to be identified that cannot be identified and is sent by the barcode scanning client to the server is the two-dimensional code picture shown in fig. 2, and the target barcode picture fed back to the barcode scanning client by the server is the two-dimensional code picture shown in fig. 3, the barcode scanning client can identify that the code value corresponding to the two-dimensional code is "hello", and use the code value "hello" as the code value of the two-dimensional code shown in fig. 2.

It should be noted that, in the implementation provided in this specification, the code scanning client and the collecting client may be the same client or different clients. For example, in an application scenario, a client identifies a two-dimensional code, and if the two-dimensional code is successfully identified, the two-dimensional code may be sent to a server, and at this time, the client may be referred to as a collection client; if the client fails to identify one two-dimensional code, a decoding request can be sent to the server, and at this time, the client can be called a code scanning client.

The foregoing description has been directed to specific embodiments of this disclosure. Other embodiments are within the scope of the following claims. In some cases, the actions or steps recited in the claims may be performed in a different order than in the embodiments and still achieve desirable results. In addition, the processes depicted in the accompanying figures do not necessarily require the particular order shown, or sequential order, to achieve desirable results. In some embodiments, multitasking and parallel processing may also be possible or may be advantageous.

In the 90 s of the 20 th century, improvements in a technology could clearly distinguish between improvements in hardware (e.g., improvements in circuit structures such as diodes, transistors, switches, etc.) and improvements in software (improvements in process flow). However, as technology advances, many of today's process flow improvements have been seen as direct improvements in hardware circuit architecture. Designers almost always obtain the corresponding hardware circuit structure by programming an improved method flow into the hardware circuit. Thus, it cannot be said that an improvement in the process flow cannot be realized by hardware physical modules. For example, a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), such as a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), is an integrated circuit whose Logic functions are determined by programming the Device by a user. A digital system is "integrated" on a PLD by the designer's own programming without requiring the chip manufacturer to design and fabricate application-specific integrated circuit chips. Furthermore, nowadays, instead of manually making an Integrated Circuit chip, such Programming is often implemented by "logic compiler" software, which is similar to a software compiler used in program development and writing, but the original code before compiling is also written by a specific Programming Language, which is called Hardware Description Language (HDL), and HDL is not only one but many, such as abel (advanced Boolean Expression Language), ahdl (alternate Hardware Description Language), traffic, pl (core universal Programming Language), HDCal (jhdware Description Language), lang, Lola, HDL, laspam, hardward Description Language (vhr Description Language), vhal (Hardware Description Language), and vhigh-Language, which are currently used in most common. It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that hardware circuitry that implements the logical method flows can be readily obtained by merely slightly programming the method flows into an integrated circuit using the hardware description languages described above.

The controller may be implemented in any suitable manner, for example, the controller may take the form of, for example, a microprocessor or processor and a computer-readable medium storing computer-readable program code (e.g., software or firmware) executable by the (micro) processor, logic gates, switches, an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic controller, and an embedded microcontroller, examples of which include, but are not limited to, the following microcontrollers: ARC 625D, Atmel AT91SAM, Microchip PIC18F26K20, and Silicone Labs C8051F320, the memory controller may also be implemented as part of the control logic for the memory. Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that, in addition to implementing the controller as pure computer readable program code, the same functionality can be implemented by logically programming method steps such that the controller is in the form of logic gates, switches, application specific integrated circuits, programmable logic controllers, embedded microcontrollers and the like. Such a controller may thus be considered a hardware component, and the means included therein for performing the various functions may also be considered as a structure within the hardware component. Or even means for performing the functions may be regarded as being both a software module for performing the method and a structure within a hardware component.

The apparatuses, modules or units illustrated in the above embodiments may be implemented by a computer chip or an entity, or implemented by a product with certain functions. One typical implementation device is a computer. In particular, the computer may be, for example, a personal computer, a laptop computer, a cellular telephone, a camera phone, a smartphone, a personal digital assistant, a media player, a navigation device, an email device, a game console, a tablet computer, a wearable device, or a combination of any of these devices.

As defined herein, a computer readable medium does not include a transitory computer readable medium such as a modulated data signal and a carrier wave.

It should also be noted that the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
