Coded label information extraction method

(57) The method of interpreting a summary encoded information carrier (1) is indicated, The inquiry of two or more magnetic elements (2) which are supported by the substrate or are built into a substrate is carried out, The relative position and/or physical size of the above-mentioned magnetic element express the information coded by the above-mentioned information carrier, and it the method concerned, i) The step which asks each of the element of the above-mentioned information carrier, and gives a signal, ii) The step which detects the response of the above-mentioned magnetic element to the above-mentioned inquiry signal, iii) the response detected in ii is processed, the relative velocity each of an inquiry signal and a magnetic element of a between is defined, and the step which determines the point estimate of the mathematical function which can determine a relative position and/or a relative physical size is included.
