Point code identification part 53 is based in the image shot by image pickup part 15, being formed under the hole portion 22 (Fig. 5) of chess 1 (if plate game is double six, to predefine, (plate game is predetermined piece of (マ when being double six in the region 31 of the plate 3 of side ス, mass)) the image of dot pattern be defined in the coordinate value and code value of the dot pattern to recognize.

On the further description of dot pattern, the later accompanying drawing of reference picture 13 is described below.

In other words, by image pickup part 15, ID codes identification part 52 and point code identification part 53, loaded in pencil type apparatus 2 In the state of on chess 1, the point code formd in the ID codes (being in this example round dot) and plate 3 that shoot and read chess 1 is (fixed Coordinate value and code value of the justice in dot pattern) reading part 61 of both.

Pushbutton recognition portion 54 recognizes each state (ON states/OFF state) of operation button 11 and exploitation operation button 13.

Start the state (ON states/OFF state) and communication unit of the identification power knob 12 of control unit 55 and tip switch 17 56 communications status, the recognition result based on them controls the starting state of pencil type apparatus 2.

Fig. 7 shows the figure of an example of the starting state controlled by startup control unit 55.

In the figure 7, the various states of transition when " button " of operation left column is shown on each row.Here, from left number 2nd later row most on project (project of grey in the figure) in show the state before transition (premise).

Specifically, show the state before transition for " in the case of power supply OFF ", operation is each on the row from left number the 2nd The various states of transition when planting button.Specifically, for example, according to the project from left number the 2nd of the row on most, in power supply OFF In the state of if for a long time pressing power knob 12, then transition be power source ON state.

Shown from the row of left number the 3rd, in the case that the state before transition is " communication unit 56 is not-connected status ", behaviour Make the various states of transition during various buttons.In addition, so-called engineering noise, it is intended that be not affected by the operation of button and become invalid.Tool Body, for example, according to the project from left number the 3rd from the upper row of number the 2nd, in the state of communication unit 56 is not connected, even if in short-term Between press power knob 12, do not receive yet this operation, become invalid.

Shown from the row of 4 to the 6th of left number, the state before transition is the situation of " communication unit 56 is connection status " Under, the various states of the transition when operating various buttons.More specifically, being shown in being arranged the 4th, the state before transition is " communication unit 56 be connection status, it is standby in " when, operate various buttons when transition various states.5th row are shown before transition State be " communication unit 56 be connection status, in sleep " when, operation various buttons when transition various states.6th row are aobvious Transition when operating various buttons in the case of having shown the state before transition for " communication unit 56 is connection status, during information is sent " Various states.

Specifically for example, according to from upper on the left of the 5th row 4 to the 6th project, communication unit 56 be connection status Under, if to the push of operation button 11, showing the information (button pressing operations information) of the intention by master control part 51 Generation, is sent to mobile terminal 4 (Fig. 1) from communication unit 56.

It is to be noted here that as present in the 3rd and the 4th row from upper, corresponding to tip switch 17 ON states/ OFF state, controls the starting state (could be read out action) of reading part 61.

That is, when tip switch 17 is ON states, as described above, because pencil type apparatus 2 is placed on chess 1, needing logical Cross the read action of the progress of reading part 61.In contrast, when tip switch 17 is OFF state, because pencil type apparatus 2 leaves chess 1, So the read action that need not be carried out in principle by reading part 61.

Here, start control unit 55 and be start when tip switch 17 is ON states reading part 61 be allowed to be read out it is dynamic Make, on the other hand, when tip switch 17 is OFF state, execution control stops reading part 61.

That is, reading part 61 is only read out action when tip switch 17 is ON states.Moreover, read by reading part 61 Information (information such as coordinate value and code value for being defined by the dot pattern of the ID codes of chess 1, plate 3) is sent by communication unit 56 To mobile terminal 4 (Fig. 1).

In contrast, when tip switch 17 is OFF state, the read action of reading part 61 stops.In the case, lead to Become in the communication principle for crossing the progress of communication unit 56 need not be (after terminating), therefore if in information transmission for information transmission Communication unit 56 turns into sleep state.

In this way, in the present embodiment, for the mac function (particularly reading part 61 and communication unit 56) shown in Fig. 6, Rightly control its starting state.That is, mac function (particularly reading part 61 and communication unit 56) as shown in Figure 6 is only needing Shi Qidong.Thus, energy-saving effect is notable on the whole for pencil type apparatus 2.

In order to further produce energy-saving effect, master control part 51 is able to carry out following control：Change the reading in reading part 61 Take the time interval on opportunity.

Specifically for example, as point code that point code identification part 53 is recognized (defined in the dot pattern being formed on plate 3 Information) be usual code value in the case of, if after 100ms read 2 consecutive identical code values, after every 400ms, which is performed, reads control.

Afterwards, when have read different code values, if reading 2 consecutive identical code values after 100 ms, its Afterwards, the control being read out is performed every 400ms.

In addition, for example, in the case where point code is coordinate value (XY coordinate values), performing the control being read out every 20ms System.But, if it is confirmed that the inactive state of chess 1, then perform the control being read out every 100ms.Afterwards if it is confirmed that chess 1 Mobile status, then perform the control being read out every 20ms.

In addition, if removing pencil type apparatus 2 from chess 1 is positioned over that (not shown) standby (deck, デ ッ キ are (with chess with plate is shelved 1 identical structure shelves plate)) on, then tip switch 17 turns into ON states.In the case, reading part 61 is read a little at once Code value etc. defined in system of battle formations shape, and being read out again after 100 ms, the dot pattern is formed at standby with shelving plate bottom In portion, when for 2 consecutive identical code values, start the executable control of control unit 55, transition is sleep pattern.

In addition, according to game, it is positioned over standby on plate 3 with shelving plate, thus reading part 61 can read in the dot matrix of plate 3 Coordinate value defined in figure and code value.The reading content can also in the case be reflected in game.

Fig. 6 is returned to, communication unit 56 (is for example bluetooth in the present embodiment by predetermined communication mode The mode of (Bluetooth, registration mark) 3.0 or 4.0 (SPP)), it is connected with mobile terminal 4 (Fig. 1), sends and receive various Information.

For example, comprising read by reading part 61 content (the ID codes of chess 1, by being configured with institute's shape on the plate 3 of the chess 1 Into the dot pattern coordinate value and code value that define), the information for pressing situation (button presses information) etc. of operation button 11 Generated as information is sent by master control part 51.

Here, communication unit 56 wirelessly sends the transmission information to mobile terminal 4.

In addition, send packet presses situation i.e. containing the content and operation button 11 read by above-mentioned reading part 61 Can, its structure and form etc. are not particularly limited.

For example in the present embodiment, as the data structure for sending information, using as shown in figure 8, according to from front to back Order, by " head (header, ヘ the ッ ダ) " of 1 byte (byte, バ イ ト), 2 bytes " state code (status code, ス テ ー タ ス コ ー De) ", " round dot (circle dot , サ ー Network Le point) value " structure of " code value " of 8 bytes and 1 byte Into structure.

" head " and " state code ", can include arbitrary various information if in the range of defined byte number. For example, the presence or absence of starting state as shown in Figure 7 above and mistake state etc. can be included in state code.

" code value " includes coordinate value and code value as defined in dot pattern, and the dot pattern, which is formed at, is configured with chess On 1 plate 3.Specifically, reference picture 13 is described below to Figure 27.

The ID codes of chess 1 are included in " round dot value ".I.e., in this example, by Fig. 5 round dot ring (circle dot ring, サ ー Network Le De ッ ト リ Application グ) code value that defines of the round dot (dot pattern) on 21 is contained in " round dot value ".

Fig. 6 is returned to, the control of LED control units 57 LED18 the presence or absence of turns on light and flicker figure.

User U (Fig. 1) the presence or absence of can be turned on light by LED18 and flicker figure recognizes the various states of pencil type apparatus 2.

Such as present embodiment is, using these three orange, green and red LED as LED18, for turning on light as follows The presence or absence of and various flicker figures, corresponded to the various states of pencil type apparatus 2.

That is, to the figure for flashing (orange) (at leisure), corresponded to " matching somebody with somebody centering ".

For the figure turned on light, correspond to " (BT connections are finished) in standby ".

Figure for flashing (quick), has been corresponded to " during information is sent ".

For (the green, orange) figure for flashing and be interaction flicker (quick), correspond to " dot pattern of plate 3 Parsing mistake ".

For flashing (green, orange) and being the figure that interaction flashes (quick), " ID codes (circle of chess 1 has been corresponded to Point) parsing mistake ".

Audio reproduction portion 58, which corresponds to the information read by reading part 61 and the information of pressing of operation button 11, makes sound again It is existing.What kind of what kind of audio reproduction is made with opportunity, this is the control based on master control part 51 and determined.

When performing read action (shooting action carried out by image pickup part 15) carried out using reading part 61, irradiation control Portion 59 controls the irradiation of the irradiation portion 16, so that irradiation portion 16 is irradiated.As the content of control, except the photograph of irradiation portion 16 Outside the control for penetrating opportunity, variable control of exposure (light quantity) of irradiation portion 16 etc. can be also included.

ID codes (round dot) ＞ of ＜ chesses

The ID codes of chess are illustrated below.

The ID codes of chess, to be distinguished with code value defined in the dot pattern being formed on plate 3, are not spy Do not limit, the code of any-mode can be used.

But, in the present embodiment, it is defined in round dot (dot pattern formed on the round dot ring 21 of Fig. 5 chess 1) Code value can be used as the ID of chess.

Fig. 9 shows the concrete example for the round dot ring 21 for being formed with round dot.

In Fig. 9 (a) examples, the round dot being made up of 18 point d1 to d18 is formed with round dot ring 21.

Round dot ring 21, as shown in Fig. 9 (a) chain-dotted line, is divided into 3 regions, positioned at each region two ends point by with Make datum mark.That is, point on the basis of point d1, point d6, point d7, point d12, point d13 and point d18.In the case, in 2 regions On border (position that chain-dotted line passes through), the group of 2 adjacent datum marks is configured with.That is, point d18 and point d1 group, point d6 and Point d7 group and point d12 are used as the group of datum mark with point d13 group.

In 1 region, 6 points of 2 datum marks comprising two ends each, be respectively separated predetermined spacing From and configure.

But, distance is differed between point, any figure in 5 figures of distribution.Here, each for 5 figure, from most Distance adds the sequence number of " 1 ", " 2 ", " 3 ", " 4 " and " 5 " respectively from length is short between short point.

In the case, the ID codes of chess 1 are defined by the arranged clockwise combination of distance between point.

Specifically, as shown in Figure 10, the combination of distance is 120 sets in the round dot in 1/3 region of Fig. 9 (a) examples between point. That is, ID codes have 120 sets.

In addition, in Fig. 10, although illustrate only 24 sets of the combination that distance between point above is " 1 ", but between point above Distance similarly defines ID codes for each of " 2 " to " 5 ", thus defines 24 × 5=120 codes.

In this way, the combination of distance is defined with the round dot between each point in the point group for passing through a region of round dot ring 21 The ID codes of the chess 1 of ring 21.

In such as Fig. 9 (a) examples, by the combination of distance between each point caused by point d1 to d6,1 ID generation is defined Code.Here, shown in Fig. 9 (a), by corresponding to Figure 10 most shown on the combinations of ID codes " 1 " form point group Example.That is, the ID codes of the chess 1 of the round dot ring 21 with Fig. 9 (a) examples turn into " 1 ".

Herein so that the point group in other 2 regions, i.e. the combination of distance and point between each point caused by point d7 to d12 The combination of distance is same combination between each point caused by d13 to d18.That is, for each of 3 regions in round dot ring 21 It is individual, define identical ID codes (" 1 " in Fig. 9 (a) examples).

Therefore, at least one region is that ID codes can be read in 3 regions.ID codes can be being read more than 2 regions When, available for error checking.

In addition, as needed, ID codes can be defined respectively in each region of round dot ring 21.Thus, can also be by chess 1 Direction (in which direction mounting pencil type apparatus 2) is specific.

The number of regions of round dot ring 21 is not limited to 3 of Fig. 9 (a) example, can be any.For example, by increasing area Domain number, becomes possibility by the direction of chess 1 is more meticulously specific.

In Fig. 9 (b) example, 4 blocks (block, Block the ロ ッ for defining identical code is formed with round dot ring 21 Network) code.Each block, which has, is formed with 3 datum marks and 2 information points in predetermined interval, each block.In this way, fixed Code of the justice in round dot ring 21 is configured at 4, thus, though at 1~3 at the point Fang Sheng of block come off, remaining area If the code of block can be combined, predetermined ID codes can be read.Number of blocks can arbitrarily be set.Equally spaced match somebody with somebody Datum mark is put, at least one information point is configured between adjacent datum mark to define information.In Fig. 9 (b), although configuration information The region of point also may be set to the configuring area more than at 1~2 or at 4 at 3.Further, datum mark is not limited to 3, Configurable any number.In the case of configuring 1 information point between adjacent datum mark, if the allocation position of information point be set to N, the number of datum mark is set to m, then information content is the code for the m-1 powers that can define n.In addition, in order to recognize each block Region, preferably each predetermined distance in block interval and configure.In addition, in order to increase information content, the information of each block can For difference, they are integrated and increases the number of ID codes.

The dot pattern ＞ of ＜ plates 3

The dot pattern of plate 3 is illustrated below.

Figure 12 shows the concrete example of plate 3.

In Figure 12 examples, plate 3 turns into double six plate.Therefore, in plate 3, be formed with the region 31 of dot pattern into To configure multiple pieces etc. of chess 1.

That is, it is formed at the seat for defining the position for having each piece of display on the dot pattern in each region 31 for showing each piece respectively Scale value, can be by the specific code value of each piece of event content.

The explanation ＞ of ＜ dot patterns

Below with regard to an example of dot pattern, using Figure 13 to Figure 27 described below.

As the aspect of dot pattern, with following instance.

In addition, the aspect of dot pattern is not limited to following (1)~(4).

(1) the 1st example (" GRID0 ", Figure 15~Figure 19)

(2) the 2nd examples (" GRID1 ", Figure 17 (a) and Figure 18 (a), Figure 20)

(3) the 3rd examples (" GRID5 ", Figure 21~Figure 25)

On the information point in above-mentioned 1st~the 3rd example, illustrated using following instance.

In addition, information point example is not limited to following (5) and (6).

(4) catching method (Figure 13) of information point

(5) distribution (Figure 14) of the code of information point

(6) reading (Figure 26 and Figure 27) of dot pattern

The catching method ＞ of ＜ Figure 11 information point

Shown in the catching method of information point such as Figure 13 (a)~(e).

In addition, the catching method of information point is not limited to Figure 13 (a)~(e) examples.

That is, as shown in Figure 13 (a), except by information point virtual point up and down, in addition to oblique configuration, comprising being unworthy of Put the situation of information point, in virtual point configuration or the situation of configuration information point can then not increase information content.

Figure 13 (b) is middle configuration information point in 4 virtual regions altogether arranged in 2 rows × 2, but if near border Configuration information point is then likely to occur misrecognition, so Figure 13 (c) configures adjacent virtual region to be spaced certain interval Embodiment.

In addition, configuring multiple information points in 4 virtual regions or the situation of configuration information point can not increase letter yet Breath amount.

Figure 13 (d) is to arrange to amount to middle configuration information point in 9 virtual regions in 3 rows × 3.In addition, included in 9 virtual areas Multiple information points are configured in domain or the situation of configuration information point can then not increase information content.

Figure 13 (e) is all to connect at the midpoint of square and diagonal with straight line or dummy line, virtual at 8 altogether Configuration information point in region.In addition, if configuring multiple information points or the not feelings of configuration information point in 8 virtual regions Condition, then can increase information content.

Although Figure 13 (b)~(e) virtual region be rectangle or triangle, need not as Figure 13 (c) virtual area Domain mutually connects, or any shape such as circular and other polygons.Further, by increasing the number energy of its virtual region Enough increase information content.In addition, information point is to the configuration of virtual region and as shown in Figure 13 (a), from virtual point predetermined The collocation method for the information point that side is upwardly deviated from predetermined distance and configured is identical.Why so it is because making What during printed data, no matter being configured in virtual region, it is required to determine configuration by showing the coordinate data of any position Position, is configured because of deviateing from virtual point, without any change compared with coordinates computed data.In addition, reading point When, no matter which kind of collocation method, to be possible to multiple configuration bits of configuration information point in the image for shooting dot pattern The point identification decision region of center setting circle or rectangle etc. is set to, differentiates whether there is to recognize in this identification decision region Point, identical information point read method is could also say that from this point.

The distribution ＞ of the code of ＜ Figure 14 information point

Shown in the distribution of the code of information point such as Figure 14 (a)~(c).

That is, as shown in Figure 14 (a), such as company code's (company code, カ Application パ ニ ー De) can be all allocated in " code value " of code etc., also as 1 code table, can be assigned as " X-coordinate value " and " Y-coordinate value " as shown in the figure (b) This 2 data areas, or as shown in the figure (c), " code value ", " X-coordinate value ", " Y-coordinate value " this 3 data fields can be assigned as Domain.When coordinate value is allocated in rectangular region, in order to reduce data volume, " X-coordinate value ", the data of " Y-coordinate value " Region can be different.Further, although not shown, but in order to define the height in position coordinates, " Z coordinate can further be distributed Value ".In addition, when distributing " X-coordinate value ", " Y-coordinate value ", due to positional information, X, Y-coordinate+direction on coordinate value only With predetermined volume increment, dot pattern becomes not being all identical.In addition, such as by Figure 14 (a)~(c) it will be apparent that, with The species of the code of increase distribution, point identification decision region diminishes, it becomes difficult to the allocation position of correct identification information point.

The examples of ＜ the 1st (" GRID0 "), Figure 15~Figure 19 ＞

The applicant temporarily calls the 1st example of dot pattern with " GRID0 ".

" GRID0 " is characterised by, becomes able to recognize in the scope of dot pattern, direction at least by using key point 1.

" GRID0 " as shown in Figure 15~Figure 19, with following structure.

(1) information point

Information point is used for storage information.

In addition, shown in the catching method of information point such as Figure 13 (a)~(e), in addition, the distribution of the code of information point such as Figure 14 (a) shown in~(c).

In addition, the situation including non-configuration information point, configuring or the not situation of configuration information point in virtual point, letter can be increased Breath amount.

(2) datum mark

Datum mark is configured on multiple positions set in advance.

Datum mark is used for the position of virtual point described later or virtual region is specific.

(3) key point

Key point can deviate datum mark and configure, or as or Figure 16 shown in, be configured to put on and deviate matching somebody with somebody for datum mark The position of seated position.That is, datum mark is being staggered and in the case of being configured, because datum mark deviates, former base is on schedule Datum mark disappears on allocation position.It is therefore preferred that being set to key point also assume responsibility for the effect of former base on schedule, can be from it The configuration of the location estimating former base of his datum mark on schedule.On the position for putting on the allocation position that deviate from datum mark and by its During configuration, both datum mark and key point are configured as close.

Key point will be specific as the direction of benchmark, point and the information point relative to virtual point on the basis of the benchmark, or base On schedule with the benchmark of the information point configured in virtual region.By determining this as the direction of benchmark, by information point relative to The direction of virtual point applies, reading information becomes possibility.Further, the point of 1 data can will be defined by multiple information points The scope of system of battle formations shape is specific.Thus, dot pattern even if arranging the scope that can also read dot pattern by data up and down Decoding.

(4) virtual point or virtual region

Virtual point or virtual region are specific by the configuration by datum mark.Pass through the distance away from virtual point and side in Figure 17 To it is at least any define during information, on direction, can using the direction of the dot pattern produced by foregoing key point as Benchmark defines information., can be on the basis of the distance between predetermined datum mark on distance.In addition, virtual in configuration When region defines information, can will for the multiple virtual regions for assigning 1 information center or represent point and be set to virtual point, it is and upper State similarly, it is by the configuration of datum mark that the position of virtual point is specific, further, the distance away from virtual point and direction can be passed through Define virtual region.In addition, can be specific directly by the allocation position of whole virtual regions by the configuration of datum mark.In addition, though Adjacent virtual region can be linked, if but in the case near border configuration information point, it is likely that occur Misrecognition, it is therefore preferred to set certain interval to configure virtual region.

Figure 15 shows the general example of the dot pattern of " GRID0 ", respectively, and the Figure 15 (a), which is shown, matches somebody with somebody datum mark The example of the word shape of substantially plus sige is set to, the Figure 15 (b) shows the example for the configuration number for adding information point, the Figure 15 (c) example that datum mark is configured to hexagon is shown.

In addition, the general example of dot pattern is not limited to the word shape or big of the substantially plus sige illustrated in Figure 15 (a)~(c) Cause hexagon.

Figure 16 shows Figure 15 variation, for key point is configured on the position for the allocation position for deviateing datum mark Example, its result is, both datum mark and key point are configured as neighbouring.

Figure 17 shows the variation of the dot pattern of " GRID0 ", respectively, and the Figure 17 (a), which is shown, matches somebody with somebody datum mark The example of general square shape is set to, the Figure 17 (b) shows the example that datum mark is configured to generally L-shaped, the figure (c) is shown Datum mark is configured to substantially crux or the substantially example of plus sige shape.

In addition, the variation of dot pattern be not limited to general square shape illustrated in Figure 17 (a)~(c), generally L-shaped, Or substantially crux or substantially plus sige shape.

Figure 18~Figure 19 shows the link example or connection example of the dot pattern of " GRID0 ", and the Figure 18 (a) is following company Tie example：Dot pattern is abutted in the way of a part for its datum mark is shared and configures multiple, and the dot pattern is by benchmark Point is configured to the dot pattern of general square shape.The condition that can link is, 1 dot pattern up and down and/or left and right two ends The position of point be necessary for same position.In addition, above and below can only linking or left and right.Respectively, the Figure 18 (b) is shown mutually solely The 1st connection example of multiple dot patterns is on the spot configured, the dot pattern is the dot chart that datum mark is configured to generally L-shaped Shape.Figure 19 (a) shows the 2nd connection example for being configured with multiple dot patterns independently of each other, and the dot pattern is by datum mark It is configured to the dot pattern of plus sige shape.In addition, so-called connection, to set predetermined interval to arrange dot pattern up and down The method of row.Figure 19 (b) for a part for its datum mark share in the form of it is adjacently configured with multiple dot patterns Link example, the wherein dot pattern is that datum mark is configured to the dot pattern of hexagon.

In addition, the link example of dot pattern to connection example is not limited to matching somebody with somebody as illustrated in Figure 18 (a) and (b) and Figure 19 Put.

The examples of ＜ the 2nd (" GRID1 ") ＞

2nd example of dot pattern is temporarily referred to as " GRID1 " by the applicant.

" GRID1 " such as Figure 17 (a) is shown, to define that the configuration of datum mark of " GRID0 " is formed, it is characterised in that will Point and virtual point center as 4 datum mark on its periphery of the configuration baseline point for rectangular-shaped such as square or rectangular. So-called center, as shown in figure 20, the coordinate value as obtained by the coordinate value for the datum mark that 4 points of periphery is removed with 4 are calculated.Thus, even if When oblique optical reading device reads dot pattern, and deformation because of camera lens, be formed with dot pattern printed medium change Influence of shape etc. and in shooting image the configuration of dot pattern deform because the configuration of information point and 4 datum marks are same Sample it is mobile, so the configuration being moved by 4 adjacent datum marks has correctly calculated the configuration of information point relatively, Discrimination reduction is few.Certainly, such as Figure 17 (b), (c), information point deviate datum mark and in the case of configuring, sometimes can not correct handle Hold the allocation position of information point, it may occur that misidentification.

Have in terms of accompanying drawing, Figure 17 (a) datum mark is configured to the variation of square, in Figure 18 (a) up and down Upper repetition is configured with dot pattern, the overlapping link example of the dot pattern of the datum mark on periphery.

In addition, though datum mark is configured into square as shown in Figure 17 (a), but this is not limited to, can be configured as length It is square.In addition, though linking datum mark as shown in Figure 18 (a), but this is not limited to, can be independently of each other with predetermined The dot pattern for being spaced will abut against is connected and configured.

The examples of ＜ the 3rd (" GRID5 ") ＞

3rd example of dot pattern is temporarily referred to as " GRID5 " by the applicant.

" GRID5 " is set to the key point instead of " GRID0 ", by " collocation method of datum mark ", can recognize dot matrix The scope of figure and direction.In order to recognize the direction of dot pattern by " collocation method of datum mark ", no matter so benchmark The configuration of point rotates how many (except 360 °) centered on what kind of point, must turn into the configuration before rotation not to be same , it is nonaxisymmetrical.Further, up and down and/or left and right the multiple dot patterns of repeated arrangement to be attached or link when It is required to recognize scope and the direction of dot pattern.

In addition, as " GRID0 ", even if comprising key point, also key point can be identified as into datum mark, pass through " benchmark The collocation method of point ", as the dot pattern of " GRID5 " without key point, can recognize its scope and direction.

Further, as shown in Figure 22~Figure 24, as the particular example of " GRID5 ", by " collocation method of datum mark " only The scope of dot pattern is specific, can be by the allocation position of information point, i.e. " collocation method of virtual point ", predetermined The direction of information point or configuration rule are specific by the direction of dot pattern.In the case, if datum mark be configured to Rotation is (except 360 °) centered on any point, then as also not related with configuration identical axial symmetry before rotation.Further, Up and down and/or in the case that repeated arrangement multiple dot patterns in left and right are connected or linked if dot chart can be recognized only The scope of shape.In addition, it is temporarily referred to as " direction point " by the applicant.

Figure 21 shows the general example of the dot pattern of " GRID5 ", respectively, and the Figure 21 (a), which is shown, matches somebody with somebody datum mark The example of asymmetrical substantially house shape on above-below direction is set to, the Figure 21 (b) is shown is configured to above-below direction by datum mark The example of upper asymmetrical substantially crux, the Figure 21 (c) show datum mark is configured to it is asymmetrical on above-below direction The substantially example of isosceles triangle.

In addition, the general example of dot pattern is not limited to substantially house shape illustrated in Figure 21 (a)~(c), substantially cross Frame shape or general triangular.

Figure 22 shows the general example in " direction " in the direction for determining dot pattern, and the Figure 22 (a) is by datum mark, to wrap The mode for enclosing information point is configured to square, using the information point at this center as " direction ", passes through the offset direction of " direction point " To determine the direction of dot pattern.In addition, setting other information point as+× direction.Datum mark is configured to substantially add by the Figure 22 (b) Number, " direction " at Shi Qi centers is offset and configured in one direction, and dot matrix is determined by the offset direction of " the direction point " The direction of figure.Determine that the Figure 22 (a), " the direction point " in the direction of the dot pattern of (b) are configured to, if it is possible in advance really It is fixed, then it can in any direction offset and configure.In addition, other information points also can by the distance apart from virtual point and direction come Arbitrarily define.

Figure 23 shows the variation of " direction point ", and the Figure 23 (a) by way of surrounding information point datum mark to configure For square, the direction of dot pattern is determined by the information point in 3 position configuration+directions.In addition, setting other information point For × direction.That is, by make other information point and the configuration rule of information point become the collocation method of different " direction point " come Determine the direction of dot pattern.

Figure 23 (b) not configuration information point, i.e., the reality in the direction for dot pattern being determined by " collocation method of virtual point " Example.That is, can not be special by " direction " of dot pattern by the configuration of datum mark because datum mark is configured into square It is fixed.Therefore, by not configuring " datum mark " on 1 position of " virtual point ", wherein the virtual point, which is configured in, is configured to just In the region of square datum mark, i.e., " direction " of dot pattern is determined by " collocation method of virtual point ".In addition, being unworthy of Put " datum mark " " virtual point " can for epimere 3 positions or hypomere 3 positions it is any.

Figure 24 shows the variation of " direction point ", and the Figure 24 (a) is is configured by datum mark up and down, therebetween Configuration information point, in the central position except above and below, the side of dot pattern is determined by the configuration of the information point in+direction To.In addition, setting other information point as × direction.That is, by making the other information point " direction different from the configuration rule of information point The collocation method of point " determines the direction of dot pattern.The Figure 24 (b) is that, by the configuration baseline point on equilateral triangle, will believe Other places is configured to rectangle in breath point, to determine the direction of dot pattern.The Figure 24 (c) shows the dot pattern of the Figure 24 (b) Link example.The link example of multiple dot patterns, the dot matrix are adjacently configured in the way of to be shared by a part for its datum mark Figure is the dot pattern that datum mark is configured to equilateral triangle.The condition that can link is, 1 dot pattern up and down and/ Or the position of the point at the two ends of left and right is necessary for same position.In addition, above and below can only linking or left and right.In addition, in the present embodiment In, have the information point on the base of equilateral triangle.In this way, when linking dot pattern, not only datum mark, can also have information Point.But, such as coordinate value, when value changes with dot pattern, it is impossible to shared information point.

Figure 25 shows the variation of the dot pattern of " GRID5 ", respectively, and the Figure 25 (a), which is shown, matches somebody with somebody datum mark The example of asymmetrical general square shape up and down is set to, the Figure 25 (b) is shown while use key point, and datum mark is configured to Under asymmetrical generally L-shaped example, the Figure 25 (c) is shown while use key point, datum mark is configured to non-up and down The example of symmetrical substantially crux.

In addition, the general example of dot pattern be not limited to illustrated in Figure 25 (a)~(c) up and down it is asymmetrical substantially square Shape, generally L-shaped or substantially crux.

The reading ＞ of ＜ dot patterns

" GRID0 ", " GRID1 " above, " GRID5 " these dot patterns define identical in predetermined region Code value, when it is configured by repeated arrangement up and down, such as Figure 26, if identical with the scope of the dot pattern big Arbitrary region is read in small scope, then constitutes the information point of original dot pattern to supplement completely to (1)~(16) (in figure Be recited as " round 1~circle 16 ") or (1)~(9) (be described in figure " circle 1~circle 9 "), defined whole codes can be read Value.In this way, the configuration of information point can be determined by the direction of dot pattern with scope, so being constituted as code value The configuration rule of information point also can be specific.Further, such as Figure 27, the scope of the dot pattern read in arbitrary region In, when reading any information point in left and right more than the scope, defined with positioned at the information point of side end opposite with the information point Numerical value it is identical, be configured to relative to virtual point in the same direction deviate on the position of same distance.Connect this 2 information points Line segment turn into horizontal line, by moving in parallel the horizontal line, can correctly be identified by the horizontal line of virtual point.Move in parallel Measure and be, be then the distance of the position to datum mark on a horizontal if there is corresponding datum mark.Further, for above and below Direction, if also recognizing vertical line with same order, obtains the position of the intersection point of horizontal line and vertical line, then can be correctly Obtain virtual point.According to this method, even if then oblique optical reading device shoots dot pattern, big change occurs for the configuration of point Shape, also can correctly obtain virtual point, can correctly identify the numerical value shown by information point.
