  However, there is a problem that even a piece of information that only a specific user wants to provide can be obtained from a server by a third party.

  For example, a photo print A printed with access information that can acquire information to be provided to Mr. A is given to Mr. A. Then, Mr. A can obtain information addressed to Mr. A from the server by inputting the access information printed on the photo print A to Mr. A's mobile phone. Here, if Mr. A observes the access information for Mr. A displayed on the screen of Mr. A's mobile phone when accessing the server and can guess the access information of others, A There is a problem that Mr. A can view other people's information when Mr. A inputs the access information of others estimated by Mr. A to the mobile phone.

By the way, when using the Internet, generally, a URL including a communication protocol name (for example, “http”, Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) and a server domain name is used as access information. These communication protocol name and server domain name are the minimum information necessary for connecting to the server. Here, if all the access information including the communication protocol name and the server domain name is uniformly encrypted using a known encryption technique,
A mobile phone that does not have a function for decrypting ciphertexts may not be able to illegally obtain information addressed to others, but will not be able to connect to the server at all. That is, legitimate information cannot be acquired.

  FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a service system including a service server 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a service server 10, a printer 20, camera-equipped mobile phones (hereinafter simply referred to as “mobile phones”) 30 and 40, and an order receiving terminal 50 are each connected to a network 60 to constitute a service system. Yes.

  The service server 10 communicates with the printer 20, the mobile phones 30 and 40, and the order reception terminal 50 through the network 60, and creates a photographic print according to a print order of the user, an image printed on the photographic print, A distribution process for distributing the additional information of the image through the network 60 and other various service processes are performed.

  The printer 20 creates a photographic print on which an image is printed under the control of the service server 10. A two-dimensional code (also referred to as a “two-dimensional barcode”) such as a QR code (registered trademark) is printed on a photo print together with an image for which a print order has been placed. In FIG. 1, the printer 20 is connected to the service server 10 through the network 60. However, the printer 20 is not particularly limited to this example, and may be directly connected to the service server 10, for example. The service server 10 may be formed integrally.

  The mobile phones 30 and 40 can shoot a subject. The mobile phones 30 and 40 capture and decode the two-dimensional code, and access the service server 10 through the network 60 based on the decoding result. Although only the first mobile phone 30 and the second mobile phone 40 are shown in FIG. 1, many mobile phones are actually connected to the network 60.

  Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the mobile phone 40 is a print ordering mobile phone possessed by a print ordering user (also referred to as “orderer”) for uploading an image to the service server 10 when a print order is placed. The mobile phone 30 is assumed to be a mobile phone possessed by a user to whom a photo print is distributed and receiving an image or image additional information downloaded from the service server 10. This is done for the convenience of the following description. In fact, when the user who ordered the print has a photo print, the mobile phone 40 may receive an image or download of additional information of the image from the service server 10. Is possible.

  Note that there are two modes for accepting print orders in the example shown in FIG. First, there is a mode in which a print order is placed from the mobile phone 40 of the print ordering user to the service server 10 through the network 60, and the service server 10 receives the print order. In this first aspect, the user's image is uploaded from the mobile phone 40 of the print ordering user to the service server 10. Second, there is a mode in which a print order is received by the order receiving terminal 50. In this second aspect, the user image is uploaded from the order reception terminal 50 to the service server 10.

Includes protocol and domain name. Various variables are added to such a URL.

  In the following description, “URL” is assumed to be composed of a communication protocol and a domain name. In the following description, it is assumed that “access information” is configured by adding a variable such as image identification information id to “URL”.

  The print instruction information creating unit 101e creates instruction information for causing the printer 20 to record access information on a predetermined print medium together with an image to be printed. The printer 20 creates a photographic print 26 in accordance with this instruction information.

  The registration unit 101f registers an image to be printed, additional information, and an access-permitted mobile phone number in the database 101m in association with the image identification information id.

  When the two-dimensional code 27 on the photo print 26 is read by the mobile phone 30 of the user to whom the photo print 26 is distributed, the access information receiving unit 101g reads the plain text of the URL, the ciphertext of the image identification information id, and the access source The mobile phone number registered in advance in the mobile phone 30 is received from the mobile phone 30 of the access source.

  The decryption unit 101h decrypts the ciphertext of the image identification information id using the decryption key of the service server 10.

  The search means 101i searches the database 101m for the access-permitted mobile phone number associated with the decrypted image identification information id.

  The collating unit 101j collates the retrieved mobile phone number with access permission with the mobile phone number received from the mobile terminal 30 that is the access source.

  The distribution unit 101k transmits the additional information of the image corresponding to the decrypted image identification information id to the access source mobile phone 30 when the two mobile phone numbers match, and the mobile phone 30 in the case of mismatch. Deny access from.

  The correspondence between the components of the service server 10 having the conceptual configuration of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 6 and the components of the service server 10 of the specific example illustrated in FIG. 2 will be briefly described. The receiving unit 101a, the access information receiving unit 101g, and the distributing unit 101k are mainly configured by the communication unit 11 in FIG. 2, and the image identification information issuing unit 101b, the encrypting unit 101c, the access information generating unit 101d, and the print instruction information creating in FIG. The means 101e, the registration means 101f, the decryption means 101h, the search means 101i, and the collation means 101j are mainly constituted by the control unit 12 of FIG.

  A specific service flow by the service server 10 of the first embodiment described above will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  The print ordering user first takes a picture of the subject with the mobile phone 40 (S101).

Sound information can be added to the image to be printed obtained by photographing, and in this case, the sound information is input by the microphone 342 of the mobile phone 40. In addition, text information can be added to the image to be printed. In this case, the text information is input through the operation panel 345 of the mobile phone 40. The shooting date / time information and the shooting position information detected by the position detection unit 346 of the mobile phone 40 at the time of shooting are added. Such additional information can be input before ordering the photographic print 26 from the service server 10, but can also be input after ordering the creation of the photographic print 26, as will be described later.

  Next, the print ordering user operates the cellular phone 40 to perform an ordering operation for the photo print 26 (S102).

  Specifically, first, which image is to be printed is specified. Also, the mobile phone number permitting access to the additional information of the image (hereinafter referred to as “access-permitted mobile phone number”) is input. Here, the access-permitted mobile phone number tel is normally the mobile phone number of the user to whom the photo print 26 is distributed. Furthermore, when requesting delivery of the photo print 26 together with creation of the photo print 26, the address and name of the user to whom the photo print 26 is distributed are input.

  In addition, it is not necessary to manually input all the letters and numbers constituting the mobile phone number tel, address, and name for which access is permitted, and the destination already registered in the address book managed by the mobile phone 40 is selected. It is sufficient to input by performing the operation. You may make it input by reading from a business card.

  When an image is printed on paper other than the default standard size, the size of the paper is designated. For distribution destinations that desire a plurality of photo prints 26, the number of photo prints 26 is designated.

  Next, when the print ordering user performs a predetermined transmission operation with the mobile phone 40, the order information is transmitted from the mobile phone 40 to the service server 10 through the network 60 (S103). Here, the order information includes an image, additional information (sound information, text information, shooting position information, etc.), and an access-permitted mobile phone number tel. When the print ordering user requests the delivery of the photo print 26 together with the creation of the photo print 26, the address and name of the distribution destination of the photo print 26 are further included in the order information.

  The print order can also be received at the order receiving terminal 50. In this case, order information is transmitted from the order receiving terminal 50 to the service server 10.

  The service server 10 that has received the order information issues image identification information id corresponding to each image to be printed (S111), encrypts this image identification information id (S112), and clears the URL and image identification information id. The access information including the ciphertext is generated (S113).

In the first embodiment, the access information is, for example, “http://oto.jp?id=xyz”. In this example, “http://oto.jp” is a plain text URL, and includes a communication protocol name (“http”) and a domain name (“oto.jp”) of the service server 10. Yes. “Xyz” is a ciphertext of the image identification information id, and is incorporated in the access information as a value of a variable delivered to the connected service server 10.

  Next, the service server 10 associates the order information (image, additional information, access-permitted mobile phone number tel, etc.) received from the mobile phone 40 and the access information with the image identification information id issued by the service server 10. And is registered in the database 101m (S114). In the first embodiment, it is particularly important that an access-permitted mobile phone number tel is associated with the image identification information id and registered in the database 101m.

  Then, the image and access information are transmitted from the service server 10 to the printer 20 (S115). Here, the access information may be encoded into a two-dimensional code on the service server 10 side and sent to the printer 20 or may be encoded into a two-dimensional code on the printer 20 side.

  The printer 20 creates a photographic print 26 based on the image and access information received from the service server 10 (S116). Here, the access information is printed as the two-dimensional code 27 on the same sheet together with the image 28 to be printed.

  The created photographic print 26 is delivered to a predetermined delivery destination according to the designation of the user who ordered the print, or is delivered to the print ordering user.

  Further, it is possible to make an additional order for creating the photo print 26. In this case, a change or addition of the access-permitted mobile phone number tel is further made from the mobile phone 40 of the print ordering user to the service server 10. Can also be requested.

  Next, in the first embodiment, the flow of processing when distributing additional image information to the mobile phone 30 to which the photo print 26 is distributed will be described.

  The user to whom the photo print 26 is distributed places the mobile phone 30 in the two-dimensional code reading mode, and causes the mobile phone 30 to read the two-dimensional code 27 on the photo print 26 (S121). The two-dimensional code 27 is decoded by the mobile phone 30, and access information is obtained as a decoding result.

  In the first embodiment, the access information includes a plain text of a URL necessary for connecting to the service server 10 through the network 60 and a cipher text of the image identification information id. Here, the access information is, for example, “http://oto.jp?id=xyz”.

  The mobile phone 30 reads the mobile phone number of the mobile phone 30 from the nonvolatile memory 348 of the mobile phone 30 (S122).

  Then, the mobile phone 30 accesses the service server 10 using the access information (S123). At this time, the mobile phone 30 transmits the plain text of the URL, the ciphertext of the image identification information id, and the mobile phone number of the mobile phone 30 to the service server 10.

  The mobile phone number of the mobile phone 30 is added to the ciphertext of the image identification information id that is the first variable and transmitted to the service server 10 as the second variable, and the image identification information id There is a mode of transmitting to the service server 10 separately from the ciphertext.

  The server 10 accessed from the mobile phone 30 decrypts the ciphertext of the image identification information id (S124), and searches the database 101m for an access-permitted mobile phone number tel associated with the decrypted image identification information id ( In step S125, the retrieved access-permitted mobile phone number tel is compared with the mobile phone number transmitted by the access-source mobile phone 30 (S126).

  When the two mobile phone numbers are matched by the collation, the service server 10 extracts additional information (sound information, text information, shooting position information, etc.) of the image corresponding to the image identification information id from the database 101m, and Is transmitted to the mobile phone 30 through the network 60 (S127).

  The additional information transmitted to the access source mobile phone 30 is output by the mobile phone 30 (S128). For example, sound information related to the image on the photo print 26 is reproduced by the speaker 343 of the mobile phone 30. Further, for example, text information related to the image on the photographic print 26 is displayed on the LCD 344 of the mobile phone 30. Further, when the user performs a screen switching operation using the operation panel 345 of the mobile phone 30, a map indicating the shooting position is displayed on the LCD 344 of the mobile phone 30.

  The case where the access-permitted mobile phone number tel is input on the print ordering user's mobile phone 40 has been described as an example. However, the print ordering user distributes photo prints to an unspecified number of people. If the user is selected to permit access, the access-permitted mobile phone number tel is not input, and the URL is accessed together with the plain text of the URL and the ciphertext of the image identification information id as shown in FIG. Information indicating that the permitted mobile phone number tel is not specified ("no tel") is incorporated in the two-dimensional code 27 and recorded in the photo print 26. The mobile phone number is not notified to the server 10, and the plaintext of the URL and the ciphertext of the image identification information id are transmitted to the service server 10 (S123). The service server 10 decrypts the image identification information id (S124), and then searches for the access-permitted mobile phone number tel (S125) and does not perform the mobile phone number verification (S126). The additional information corresponding to the information id is downloaded (S127). However, even when “no tel” is notified from the mobile phone 30, if the mobile phone number tel of the access permission corresponding to the image identification information id corresponding to the database 101 m is registered, the access of the mobile phone 30 is performed. To refuse.

  When transmitting the mobile phone number (terminal identifier) of the mobile phone 30 from the mobile phone 30, the mobile phone number can be encrypted and transmitted. In this case, the encrypted mobile phone number is decrypted by the decrypting means 101 h of the service server 10.

  The print ordering user photographs the subject with the mobile phone 40 (S301), and performs an ordering operation for the photographic print 26 (S302).

  In ordering the photo print 26, the print ordering user can input an access-permitted mobile phone number for each image to be printed. When the access-permitted mobile phone number is input, the mobile phone 40 encrypts the access-permitted mobile phone number tel (S303).

  By the way, the decryption key for decrypting the access-permitted mobile phone number tel is obtained by sending an e-mail attached with this decryption key from the mobile phone 40 of the print ordering user to the mobile phone 30 of the user to whom the photo print 26 is distributed. There is a method of passing to the mobile phone 30 of the distribution destination user. Here, the delivery of the electronic mail may be a pop type or a push type. The distribution destination user's mobile phone 30 stores the acquired decryption key in the nonvolatile memory 348 of the mobile phone 30.

  On the other hand, when the public encryption key method is used, the mobile phone 40 of the print ordering user acquires the public key of the mobile phone 30 of the distribution destination user of the photo print 26 in advance, and the mobile phone 30 of the distribution destination user is made public. The access-permitted mobile phone number tel may be encrypted using the key as an encryption key. In this case, the mobile phone 30 of the user to whom the photo print 26 is distributed decrypts the ciphertext of the access-permitted mobile phone number using the private key corresponding to the public key.

  When a predetermined transmission operation is performed on the mobile phone 40 of the print ordering user, the order information is transmitted from the mobile phone 40 to the service server 10 through the network 60 (S304). Here, the order information includes an image, additional information (sound information, text information, photographing position information, etc.), and a ciphertext of the mobile phone number tel with access permission. When the print ordering user performs an operation for requesting delivery of the photographic print 26 together with creation of the photographic print 26, the address and name of the distribution destination of the photographic print 26 are further included in the order information.

  The service server 10 that has received the order information issues image identification information id corresponding to each image to be printed (S311), encrypts the image identification information id using the encryption key of the server 10 (S312), Access information including plaintext, ciphertext of image identification information id and ciphertext of access-permitted mobile phone number tel is generated (S313).

In the third embodiment, the access information is, for example, “http://oto.jp?id=xyz&tel=ABCDEFGHIJK”. In this example, “http://oto.jp” is a plain text URL. “Xyz” is a ciphertext of the image identification information id encrypted by the service server 10. Further, “ABCDEFGHIJK” is a ciphertext of the access-permitted mobile phone number tel encrypted by the mobile phone 40 of the print ordering user.

  Next, the service server 10 registers the image and additional information in the order information received from the mobile phone 40 in the database 103m in association with the image identification information id issued by the service server 10 (S314). In the third embodiment, as in the second embodiment, the access-permitted mobile phone number tel need not be managed by the database 103m.

Then, the image and access information are transmitted from the service server 10 to the printer 20 (
In step S315, the photographic print 26 is created by the printer 20 (step S316). Here, the access information is printed as the two-dimensional code 27 on the same sheet together with the image 28 to be printed.

  Next, a flow of processing when distributing additional information of an image to the mobile phone 30 to which the photo print 26 is distributed in the third embodiment will be described.

  The user to whom the photo print 26 is distributed places the mobile phone 30 in the two-dimensional code reading mode, and causes the mobile phone 30 to read the two-dimensional code 27 on the photo print 26 (S321).

  In the third embodiment, the access information includes plain text of URL, cipher text of image identification information id, and cipher text of mobile phone number tel with access permission. For example, “http://oto.jp?id=xyz&tel=ABCDEFGHIJK”.

  The mobile phone 30 decrypts the ciphertext of the access-permitted mobile phone number tel (S322), reads the mobile phone number of the mobile phone 30 from the nonvolatile memory 348 of the mobile phone 30 (S323), and decrypts it. The access-permitted mobile phone number tel and the self mobile phone number are collated (S324). If the two mobile phone numbers match, the service server 10 is accessed using the access information (S325). At this time, the mobile phone 30 transmits the plaintext of the URL and the ciphertext of the image identification information id to the service server 10. The ciphertext of the access-permitted mobile phone number tel does not necessarily need to be transmitted to the service server 10, but may be transmitted to verify the entire read access information with the original access information on the service server 10 side. Good.

  The service server 10 that has received the ciphertext of the image identification information id from the mobile phone 30 decrypts the ciphertext of the image identification information id (S326). Then, additional information (sound information, text information, shooting position information, etc.) of the image corresponding to the decoded image identification information id is extracted from the database 103m and transmitted to the access source mobile phone 30 through the network 60 (S327). .

  The additional information transmitted to the access source mobile phone 30 is output from the mobile phone 30 (S328).

[Select delivery mode]
In the service systems of the first to third embodiments described above, the target person who can receive the content distribution service is first, one specific person, second, a plurality of specific persons, and thirdly, It is a specific large number of people.

  In other words, even if one or a plurality of photo prints having the same two-dimensional code recorded are distributed to an unspecified number of people, only a limited number of people can receive the content distribution service. 1 distribution mode, a second distribution mode that restricts only a limited number of people to receive the content distribution service, and a third distribution mode that allows a large number of non-limited people to receive the content distribution service The orderer can select a desired delivery mode and place an order.

  Specifically, when the orderer inputs designation of the distribution mode on the cellular phone 40 of the orderer (S102 in FIG. 7, S202 in FIG. 9, S302 in FIG. 11), the distribution mode specified by the orderer is changed. The distribution mode designation information shown is transmitted from the mobile phone 40 to the service server 10 as part of the order information (S103 in FIG. 7, S203 in FIG. 9, and S304 in FIG. 11). Such distribution mode designation information is received as part of the order information by the order information receiving means (101a in FIG. 6, 102a in FIG. 8, 103a in FIG. 10) of the service server 10, and the registration means ( 101f in FIG. 6, 102f in FIG. 8, and 103f in FIG. 10) are registered in the database (101m in FIG. 6, 102m in FIG. 8, 103m in FIG. 10) in association with the image identification information id as part of the order information. The

  Below, the 2nd delivery aspect which makes a specific some person a subject is demonstrated. The second distribution mode is substantially the same as the first distribution mode in principle, and since the first distribution mode has already been described, only the differences from the first distribution mode are described. explain.

  First, the 2nd delivery aspect in the service system of 1st Embodiment shown in FIG.6 and FIG.7 is demonstrated.

  The registration unit 101f of the service server 10 associates the image identification information id with the mobile phone number list and registers them in the database 101m (S114 in FIG. 7). Here, the mobile phone number list includes a plurality of access-permitted mobile phone numbers tel. In other words, a mobile phone number list in which a plurality of access-permitted mobile phone numbers tel are associated with one image identification information id is registered in the database 101m.

  For example, it is assumed that the orderer orders a plurality of photographic prints 26 having the same image 28 and the same two-dimensional code 27. Here, when the orderer inputs the mobile phone numbers of a plurality of members to whom the photo print is distributed on the orderer's mobile phone 40, the mobile phone numbers of the plurality of members are used as a mobile phone number list. Registered in the database 101m. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, three access-permitted mobile phone numbers (tel = X, Y, Z) are registered in the database 101m in association with one sound id = A.

  When the member who has received the photographic print causes the mobile phone 30 to read the two-dimensional code 27 on the photographic print 26 (S121 in FIG. 7), access information is transmitted from the mobile phone 30 to the service server 10, and The access information is received by the access information receiving unit 101g of the service server 10 (S123 in FIG. 7).

  The decryption unit 101h of the service server 10 decrypts the ciphertext of the image identification information id included in the access information (S124 in FIG. 7).

  The search unit 101i of the service server 10 searches the database 101m for a mobile phone number list corresponding to the image identification information id acquired from the mobile phone 30 (S125 in FIG. 7).

  The matching unit 101j of the service server 10 determines whether or not the telephone number acquired from the mobile phone 30 is included in the mobile phone number list searched by the search unit 101i (S126 in FIG. 7).

  The distribution unit 101k of the service server 10 distributes the additional information corresponding to the image identification information id to the mobile phone 30 only when the phone number acquired from the mobile phone 30 is included in the mobile phone number list. (S127 in FIG. 7).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the mobile phone 30X of the first user to whom the phone number X is assigned, the mobile phone 30Y of the second user to which the phone number Y is assigned, and the third phone to which the phone number Z is assigned. It is assumed that the same two-dimensional code 27 on the photo print 26 is read by the user's mobile phone 30Z. Since the two-dimensional code of the photo print 26 includes sound id = A for identifying sound information as distribution information, the sound id = A is sent from the mobile phone 30X of the first user to the service server 10. And the telephone number X is transmitted, the sound id = A and the telephone number Y are transmitted from the second user's mobile phone 30Y to the service server 10, and the sound id is transmitted from the third user's mobile phone 30Y to the service server 10. = A and phone number Z are transmitted. In the database 101m, three access-permitted mobile phone numbers (tel = X, Y, Z) are registered in association with one sound id = A. Therefore, the sound information corresponding to the sound id = A is distributed from the service server 10 to the three mobile phones 30X, 30Y, and 30Z.

  On the other hand, even if the mobile phone 30P of the fourth user to whom the telephone number P is assigned reads the two-dimensional code 27 on the photographic print 26, the telephone number associated with the sound id = A is stored in the database 101m. Since P is not registered, access of the fourth user's mobile phone 30P is denied.

  Next, a second distribution mode in the service system of the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 will be described.

  The access information generation unit 102d of the service server 10 generates access information including the encrypted image identification information id and the encrypted mobile phone number list (S213 in FIG. 9).

  Here, the mobile phone number list includes a plurality of access-permitted mobile phone numbers tel. In other words, the access information includes a list in which a plurality of access-permitted mobile phone numbers tel are associated with one image identification information id.

  The print instruction information creating unit 102e of the service server 10 creates instruction information for recording the access information on the print medium together with the image (S215 in FIG. 9). Then, the photographic print 26 in which the access information is recorded as the two-dimensional code 27 is created by the printer 20 (S216 in FIG. 9).

  When the member who has received the photographic print 26 causes the mobile phone 30 to read the two-dimensional code 27 on the photographic print 26 (S221 in FIG. 9), the member himself / herself from the non-volatile memory (348 in FIG. 3) of the mobile phone 30. The mobile phone number is read (S222 in FIG. 9), and its own mobile phone number is added to the access information and transmitted from the mobile phone 30 to the service server 10 (S223 in FIG. 9).

  The decryption means 102h of the service server 10 decrypts the ciphertext of the image identification information id and the ciphertext of the mobile phone number list included in the access information (S224 in FIG. 9).

  The collation means of the service server 10 is a mobile phone number list stored in advance in the mobile phone 30 and obtained by encrypting the mobile phone number acquired from the mobile phone 30 in the photo print 26. Then, it is determined whether or not it is included in the mobile phone number list acquired from the mobile phone 30 (S226 in FIG. 9).

  The distribution means 102k of the service server 10 corresponds to the image identification information id for the mobile phone 30 only when the phone number acquired from the mobile phone 30 is included in the mobile phone number list as the access-permitted mobile phone number. The additional information to be distributed is distributed (S227 in FIG. 9).

  Next, a second distribution mode in the service system of the third embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 will be described.

  The access information generating unit 103d of the service server 10 generates access information including the encrypted image identification information id and the encrypted mobile phone number list (S313 in FIG. 11). The print instruction information creating unit 103e of the service server 10 creates instruction information for recording the access information on the print medium together with the image (S315 in FIG. 11). Then, the printer 20 creates a photo print 26 in which the access information is recorded as the two-dimensional code 27 (S316 in FIG. 11).

  When the member who has received the photographic print causes the mobile phone 30 to read the two-dimensional code 27 on the photographic print 26 (S321 in FIG. 11), the decryption means 303h of the mobile phone 30 includes the mobile phone included in the access information. The ciphertext in the telephone number list is decrypted (S322 in FIG. 11). The collation means 103h of the mobile phone 30 reads out its own mobile phone number from the non-volatile memory (348 in FIG. 3) of the mobile phone 30 (S323 in FIG. 11), and that mobile phone number is the mobile phone number. It is determined whether it is included in the list (S324 in FIG. 11).

  The access control means 303 of the mobile phone 30 controls to access the service server only when the mobile phone number is included in the mobile phone number list (S325 in FIG. 11). If it is not included in the telephone number list, a screen indicating access denial is displayed on the LCD (344 in FIG. 3) of the mobile phone 30.

  FIG. 13A shows access information having one mobile phone number tel with access permission. Specifically, a mobile phone number list 2731 consisting of one mobile phone number tel = X is associated with the image identification information id = A and encrypted. On the other hand, FIG. 13B shows access information having a plurality of access-permitted mobile phone numbers tel. Specifically, a mobile phone number list 2732 including three mobile phone numbers tel = X, Y, and Z is associated with the image identification information id = A and encrypted.

  Here, the data length Lx of the mobile phone number list 2731 shown in FIG. 13 (a), the data length Lx of the mobile phone number list 2731 shown in FIG. 13 (b), and the mobile phone number list shown in FIG. 13 (b). The data length Lxyz of 2732 is the same. That is, the encryption unit 102c of the service server 10 encrypts the mobile phone number list so that the encrypted data length is constant. Therefore, even if the mobile phone reads the two-dimensional code on the photo print by a normal method, the third party cannot know the member's telephone number, and the third party cannot know how many members there are. I can't know.

[Additional registration of terminal identifier]
As described above, in the distribution mode in which the content is limited to be distributed only to one or more specific people, let the mobile phone whose phone number is not registered read the two-dimensional code on the photo print. However, in principle, access related to content distribution from the mobile phone to the service server 10 is denied. Such denial of access is necessary to eliminate access by an unexpected third party. Even if the phone number is a registered mobile phone, the mobile phone may not be able to read the two-dimensional code on the photo print. For example, a QR code (registered trademark) is recorded as a two-dimensional code in a photo print, but the user's mobile phone does not support the QR code.

  Therefore, the service server 10 in the first embodiment described above determines whether or not a specific condition is met, and if the specific condition is met, the telephone of the user's mobile phone that newly requests access permission The number is added and registered.

  Specifically, on the condition that a specific person consents, a user's telephone number for which access permission is newly added is additionally registered, and access is permitted. As a first example, there is a mode in which access is permitted by asking the ordering party for permission of access permission, and as a second example, there is a mode in which access is permitted by seeking permission of access permission from members in the group.

  FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the flow of processing when requesting the ordering party A for permission of access permission.

  Here, the telephone number of the mobile phone 30B of the user B is registered in advance in the database of the service server 10, while the telephone number of the mobile phone 30C of the user C is not registered in the database of the service server 10. . Further, it is assumed that the mobile phone 30B of the user B does not have a function of reading the two-dimensional code 27 on the photo print 26 in FIG.

  Then, it is assumed that the user B has the mobile phone 30C of the user C who is the friend read the two-dimensional code 27 on the photo print 26. Then, an access denial screen 3441 shown in FIG. 15 is displayed on the mobile phone 30C of the user C (S52).

  15 includes a message input field 3453 for inputting a message to the orderer A, a “Yes” button 3451, and a “No” button 3452.

  When the message to the orderer A is input to the message input field 3453 and the “Yes” button 3451 is clicked on the mobile phone 30C of the user C (S54), the service server 10 On the other hand, the telephone number and message of the mobile phone 30C of the user C are transmitted (S56), and the service server 10 makes an inquiry for access permission with the message to the mobile phone 40A of the orderer A (S58). ). This inquiry may be made using electronic mail. On the orderer A's mobile phone 40A, the message addressed to the orderer A input by the user C's mobile phone 30C is displayed (S60).

  When a predetermined consent operation is performed in the cellular phone A of the orderer A (S62), an acceptance notification is transmitted from the cellular phone 40A of the orderer A to the service server 10 (S64), and the mobile phone of the user C The telephone number of the telephone 30C is additionally registered in the database of the service server 10 as an access-permitted mobile telephone number (S66), and an access permission notification is transmitted from the service server 10 to the mobile telephone 30C of the user C. (S68).

  Note that the telephone number of the mobile phone 30C of the user C is registered in the database in association with the image on the photo print and the content corresponding to the image as described above. For example, using the image identification information id (also referred to as “content identification information”) included in the access information when the access information is first received from the mobile phone 30C of the user C, for example, Make an association.

  Thereafter, when the user C's mobile phone 30C reads the two-dimensional code 27 on the photo print 26, the access information is transmitted from the user C's mobile phone 30C to the service server 10, and from the service server 10, Additional information related to the image on the photo print 26 is distributed to the mobile phone 30C of the user C, and the additional information is reproduced on the mobile phone 30C of the user C.

  FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the flow of processing for obtaining access permission from members in a group.

  Here, the telephone number of the mobile phone 30B of the user B is registered in advance in the database of the service server 10, while the telephone number of the mobile phone 30C of the user C is not registered in the database of the service server 10. . Further, it is assumed that the mobile phone 30B of the user B does not have a function of reading the two-dimensional code 27 on the photo print 26 in FIG.

  Then, it is assumed that the user B has the mobile phone 30C of the user C who is the friend read the two-dimensional code 27 on the photo print 26. Then, an access denial screen 3442 shown in FIG. 17 is displayed on the mobile phone 30C of the user C (S72).

  The access denial screen 3442 in FIG. 17 includes a mail address input field 3454 in which a member's mail address is input, a “Yes” button 3451, and a “No” button 3452. Here, the mail address of user B is entered in the mail address input field 3454 and the “Yes” button 3451 is clicked (S74). Then, the mobile phone 30C of the user C transmits the telephone number and mail address of the mobile phone 30C of the user C to the service server 10 (S76), and the mail address is registered in the database of the service server 10 in advance. If so, the service server 10 inquires of the mobile phone 30B of the user B about access permission by e-mail (S78). For example, when the orderer A registers the mail address of the user B in advance, such an inquiry is made. User B may register an e-mail address using his / her mobile phone 30B.

  When the e-mail is opened on the mobile phone 30B of the user B, the content of the e-mail is displayed as an access permission inquiry content on the mobile phone 30B of the user B (S80). Here, when a predetermined consent operation is performed on the mobile phone 30B of the user B (S82), an acceptance notice is transmitted from the orderer's mobile phone 40A to the service server 10 (S84). The telephone number of the mobile phone 30C is registered in the database of the service server 10 as an access-permitted mobile phone number (S86), and an access permission notification is transmitted from the service server 10 to the mobile phone 30C of the user C. (S88). Note that the telephone number of the mobile phone 30C of the user C is registered in the database in association with the image on the photo print and the content corresponding to the image as described above.

  Thereafter, when the user C's mobile phone 30C reads the two-dimensional code 27 on the photo print 26, the access information is transmitted from the user C's mobile phone 30C to the service server 10, and from the service server 10, Additional information related to the image on the photo print 26 is distributed to the mobile phone 30C of the user C, and the additional information is reproduced on the mobile phone 30C of the user C.

  In addition, although the case where an access permission inquiry is made only to the mobile phone 30B of the user B has been described as an example, it is not particularly limited to such a case, and an access permission inquiry is made to all members already permitted to access. May be performed.

  Also, as a first example, an access permission inquiry is made to the orderer's mobile phone, and as a second example, an access permission inquiry is made to an access-permitted member's mobile phone. As described above, the present invention is not particularly limited to such cases, and access permission inquiries may be made to both the orderer and members who have already been permitted access.

  Although only the access permission request in the service system of the first embodiment has been described, the second embodiment and the third embodiment may also be implemented.

  In this case, the access control means of the mobile phone 30 transmits an access permission request to the service server 10 when access is denied by the service server 10. In addition, when the service server 10 receives an access permission request from the mobile phone 30, the service server 10 permits access from the mobile phone 30 on condition that the specific person consents. At this time, the mobile phone number of the mobile phone 30 is registered in the database in association with the image identification information id.

  The case where the ciphertext of the mobile phone number tel with access permission is recorded on the photographic print 26 has been described as an example. However, it is allowed for security reasons to include the mobile phone number in the two-dimensional code even if it is ciphertext. If not, the ciphertext of the mobile phone number tel for which access is permitted may not be incorporated in the two-dimensional code 27 as shown in FIG. In this case, the mobile phone 30 that has read the two-dimensional code 27 accesses the service server 10 only when the image identification information id can be decoded, and when the image identification information id cannot be decoded, the mobile phone 30 accesses the service server 10. Do not access. This is also effective in an environment where mobile phone numbers are frequently changed.

  In the first to third embodiments described above, the URL included in the access information is not limited to the communication protocol name and the domain name of the server 10, but may be other than a file path if allowed by security. May be included. Further, the information added to the URL is not limited to the ciphertext of the image identification information id and the ciphertext of the mobile phone number tel, but other ciphertext or plaintext information may be added.

Although the case where the access information is recorded on the photographic print 26 as a two-dimensional code has been described as an example, the present invention is not limited to this, and the access information may be written on an IC tag formed on a sheet. In this case, the printer 20 is provided with a wireless writing unit for wirelessly writing access information on an IC tag (also referred to as RFID: Radio Frequency Identification). In this case, the mobile phone is provided with wireless reading means for wirelessly reading the access information from the IC tag.

  Further, the access information may be recorded by being embedded as digital watermark information in the image of the photographic print 26. In this case, the mobile phone has a function of reading digital watermark information.

Moreover, not only a mobile phone but PDA (Personal Digital Assistants) and other portable terminals may be used.

  In addition, the present invention is not limited to the examples illustrated in the drawings and the examples described as the embodiments, and it goes without saying that the present invention may be implemented with appropriate design changes and improvements according to the gist of the present invention.
