System and related methods for optimization of optical and machine-readable labels
11836570 · 2023-12-05 ·

The present invention relates to a system and method for optimizing the placement, size, scannability, and effectiveness of optical labels, such as 2D barcodes or machine-readable labels like QR codes, on a specified medium. The system comprises a set of servers configured to execute an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm, a set of user devices, and a database. The AI algorithm analyzes uploaded images of intended mediums for optical label placement, determines optimal placement, size, and orientation of the optical labels, and calculates individual scores for visibility, scannability, and likelihood of being noticed by potential users for each suggestion, then combines these into an overall readability score. The invention offers a user-friendly, efficient, and objective approach to optimizing optical label placement that is particularly effective for addressing considerations for physical object mediums.
