Abstract
A hybrid two-dimensional barcode reader decodes control features of the hybrid-two-dimensional barcode image, the control features corresponding to control features of a first formatting standard. The hybrid two-dimensional barcode reader extracts a data sequence from a data portion of the hybrid two-dimensional barcode image based on the decoded control features and a second data format different from a first data format of the first formatting standard to recover the first data set. The hybrid two-dimensional barcode reader may decode a second data set from the data portion of the two-dimensional barcode in the data encoding format of the first formatting standard. The hybrid two-dimensional barcode reader may also constellation decode the first data set.
