Abstract
A method of enhancing a matrix barcode with environment image. The method comprises generating, by a server, an original matrix barcode based on source information, capturing, by a camera, an image of the original matrix barcode in a graphic environment comprising the matrix barcode and at least part of the graphic environment information, and parsing the image to obtain the source information and the at least part of the graphic environment information. The method further comprises generating a key based on the at least part of the graphic environment information, encrypting the source information with the key to obtain encrypted source information, encoding the encrypted source information into a first matrix barcode, and encoding the key into a key matrix barcode.
