Abstract

Information is recorded in quick response codes. A hologram is made from quick response codes and provides three dimensions of information in a two-dimensional hologram. The holograms are used for recording large amounts of information in two dimensions. Multiple quick response codes containing copious information are created using different light wave frequencies in different quick response encoders. The multiple quick response codes are combined in a two-dimensional hologram that is used on labeling. The hologram is read by a hologram reader. Each quick response frequency layer is separated from the hologram. The quick response code is extracted from each layer. A quick response reader provides the information that has been recorded.

Claims (29)

1. Apparatus comprising a package label further comprising at one three multi-dimensional hologram, further comprising multi-dimensional quick response code creating the three multi-dimensional hologram,

wherein the multi-dimensional quick response code further comprises multiple layers of quick response codes,

wherein the multiple layers of quick response codes are three-layer quick response codes,

wherein the three layers of quick response codes are distinct color quick response codes,

wherein the color quick response codes are red, green and blue quick response codes.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the color quick response codes are full spectrum color quick response codes.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , the package label further comprising at least one three multi-dimensional hologram, further comprising multi-dimensional quick response code creating the hologram, wherein the multi-dimensional quick response code further comprises multiple layers of quick response codes, and, wherein the multiple layers of quick response codes further comprise matrices of quick response information coded as two-dimensional patterns in three or more color layers, each layer having a distinct color.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the three or more color layers are narrow band color layers.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the narrow band color layers include layers ranging from ultraviolet to infrared.

6. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein in the multiple layers of quick response information coded layers are converted into the hologram.

7. A method comprising:

providing a package label difficult to counterfeit, further comprising:

providing multiple quick response (QR) codes,

creating a multi-dimensional quick response code from the multiple quick response codes,

creating a coded three multi-dimensional hologram from the multi-dimensional quick response codes, and

applying the coded hologram to a package label,

wherein the providing the multiple quick response codes comprises providing multiple layer quick response codes, and wherein the providing multiple layer quick response codes comprises providing multiple layers of red, green and blue quick response codes.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the providing multiple layer color quick response codes comprises providing full spectrum color quick response codes.

9. A method comprising:

coding labels with quick response codes, further comprising:

providing multiple quick response codes, each of the multiple quick response codes being in distinct frequency, in different light wave frequencies, and being printed in distinct colors

encoding numerous bits of information in each of the multiple quick response codes, and

combining the three dimensions the multiple quick response codes in three multi-dimensional two-dimensional hologram wherein the quick response codes are colored in red, green and blue.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the distinct frequencies are distinct light frequencies between infrared and ultraviolet.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

scanning the three multi-dimensional hologram with a hologram reader,

extracting the multiple quick response codes into individual quick response codes,

reading information from each of the response codes, and

providing the read information.
