Abstract
A stylized QR code generating apparatus is provided, which includes: an image adjusting module having an image detecting unit and a shape distorting unit; and a code stylizing module having a boundary matching unit and a boundary adjusting unit. The image detecting unit detects an error value generated in a QR code when a predetermined image is embedded in the QR code, and the shape distorting unit distorts a plurality of meshes converted from the image to adjust a shape of the image and thereby correct the error value in the QR code. The boundary matching unit matches a plurality of first boundary sections of the QR code with second boundary sections of a predetermined pattern, and the boundary adjusting unit adjusts the first boundary sections to the matched second boundary sections, respectively.
