    Abstract: A system and method is provided that includes generating a combined bar code symbol and image that is readable by a bar code scanner device. The system comprises a computer program that provides an image and a bar code symbol and combines the bar code symbol with the image such that the bar code symbol is readable by the bar code scanner device. The system processes the image and bar code symbol by comparing the properties corresponding to the image, the bar code symbol (e.g., color values), and properties corresponding to the bar code scanner sensitivity values associated with the bar code scanner device. The processed bar code symbol that is combined with the processed image is readable by the bar code scanner device.

    Abstract: A communication system is provided that includes both an electromagnetic ("EM") communication device and an optical communication device including at least a machine readable symbol where at least a portion of the EM communication device and at least a portion of the machine readable symbol are formed from the same material. This material may be, for example, a conductable ink or a conductable foil. If desired, the EM communication device may include an antenna where at least a portion of the antenna includes at least a portion of the machine readable symbol.

    Abstract: Los cupones (105) se codifican con un identificador de cuenta tal como un número de tarjeta de crédito o de tarjeta de débito del emisor de cupones. El cupón puede ser un cupón con código de barras, o una tarjeta de cupones tal como una tarjeta de cinta magnética o una tarjeta inteligente. El cupón con código de barras puede utilizar una simbología de dos dimensiones compacta tal como Simbología de Espacio Reducido (RSS) para llevar el identificador de la cuenta y otra información tal como información demográfica del consumidor mejorada. La información del cupón que incluye el identificador de la cuenta, un identificador del servicio o producto, y un identificador de descuento, se obtienen del cupón (105) en el punto de ubicación de venta (100). El consumidor se acredita para el descuento. La información del cupón, incluyendo un identificador del comerciante se comunican a un centro de procesamiento (135) utilizando una terminal de tarjeta de crédito existente (115) y un protocolo de comunicación, tal como ANSI X9, y se procesan como una transacción convencional de tarjeta de crédito o de tarjeta de débito.

    Abstract: Coupons ( 105 ) are encoded with an account identifier such as a credit or debit card number of the coupon issuer. The coupon may be a bar-coded coupon, or a coupon card, such as a magnetic stripe card or smart card. The bar-coded coupon may use a compact two-dimensional symbology such as Reduced Space Symbology (RSS) to carry the account identifier and other information such as enhanced consumer demographic data. Coupon information including the account identifier, a product or service identifier, and a discount identifier, are obtained from the coupon ( 105 ) at a point of sale location ( 100 ). The consumer is credited for the discount. The coupon information, including a merchant identifier are communicated to a processing center ( 135 ) using an existing credit card terminal ( 115 ) and communication protocol, such as ANSI X9, and processed like a conventional credit or debit card transaction.

    Abstract: A method and system for personalizing goods or services by including thereon a visible indication of the person or persons that are intended to utilize the goods and services. In one embodiment, based on computer processing, a series of parameters are calculated that can be used to generate a composite drawing (e.g., a line drawing) of the intended customer. Having created such a series of parameters, those parameters can be sent to the generator of the ticket or other personalized good. The generator can then use that series of parameters to print the composite drawing on the personalized good, either at the same time the good is originally printed or prior to providing the personalized good to the consumer. Alternatively, by receiving a customer number with the transaction confirmation from the credit card company, the merchant can download a full picture of the customer to be included on the personalized good.
