Abstract
In this rectangular two-dimensional code, data expressed in binary code is divided into cells, and arranged as a two-dimensional matrix-like pattern. The two-dimensional code is characterized by being provided with a rectangular basic pattern section. The two-dimensional code is further characterized in that: the basic pattern section includes a plurality of position detection patterns for specifying cell positions, and version information indicating the size of the two-dimensional code; and the version information is used to enable the size of the two-dimensional code to be variably designed while the distances between the plurality of position detection patterns are in a fixed state.
