Abstract
A two-dimensional code generation device includes a determination unit, an image acquisition unit, and a code generation unit. The determination unit determines whether point information is included in coding information, which is information for generating a two-dimensional code. The image acquisition unit selecting, from an image database in which multiple images are registered, an image that visually indicates the point information as a base image and acquires the selected image as the base image when the determination unit determines that the point information is included in the coding information. The code generation unit generates the two-dimensional code based on the coding information, and includes the base image in the two-dimensional code in a superimposed manner when the base image is acquired by the image acquisition unit.
