IBM Japan and Connect Technology Use Invisible 2D Barcodes to Combine Paper and Digital Data.Tokyo, Japan, July 18, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) Japan in collaboration with Connect Technology has developed an electronic clipping system, which uses invisible 2D barcodes printed on paper to integrate information from paper and digital data such as information provided on Internet sites. The new system adds an invisible digital layer to printed materials, enabling the printed materials to be used like a portable site. Invisible 2D barcodes which store digital data are printed on paper using invisible ink invisible ink n. Ink that is colorless and invisible until treated by a chemical, heat, or special light. Also called sympathetic ink. . The barcodes are then extracted from the paper by an image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished application. Since invisible ink is used, 2D barcodes can be printed over paper prints, not restricted by original print designs and layouts. Invisible barcodes can be printed on each magazine or paper article, allowing users to clip and buy articles instead of magazines and papers. Copyright [c] 2006 Japan Corporate News Network.
