[Patent Document 13] JP-A-2005-335357 <Outline of Patent Document 13>
(1) In [Claims], in [Claim 2], “a method of placing a bar code (omitted) at an appropriate place where a photo of each page of an album is pasted”, and [Claim 4] ], "The method of reading the information of the barcode (omitted) installed for the purpose of recognizing the location of the photo affixed to the album with a reading device, and outputting the voice of the digital voice recorder based on the read information Is disclosed.

(2) Further, in paragraph [0006], “the embodiment of the present invention will be described below”.
I. Attach a bar code (omitted) to each location where the album photos will be pasted.
B. Record in advance a description or situation corresponding to each photo to be affixed to the album.
C. The voice memory device (flash memory) to be attached to the recorder will be a card type, which will be attached to and removed from the recorder.
D. The wiring terminals such as sensors installed in the album are gathered together in one place and connected to the recorder with a connector.
E. When the sensor corresponding to the photo is touched, the recorder will immediately operate, and a description of the corresponding photo will be output by voice.
F. A method of storing one memory card per album.
With the above-described configuration and method of use, the present invention can listen to detailed explanations of the scene at the time of photography, and can reproduce the emotional situation at the time of photography realistically by voice, adding high added value to conventional albums. This is the method. Is disclosed.

(3) FIG. 2 shows an album (1), a voice recorder (3), a connection cord (4), a connector (5), and a memory card (6).
The “connection cord (4)” and “connector (5)” are hardly described in the specification.
In the claims, in [Claim 3], "The album and the digital voice recorder are connected with a connection cord, and the voice of the digital voice recorder is output in conjunction by touching the touch sensor or turning on the switch." Is disclosed.

<< Difference between the technology disclosed in Patent Document 13 and the present invention >>
The technique disclosed in Patent Document 13 may cause misunderstanding that it is the same as or similar to the present invention unless the contents described in Patent Document 13 are accurately understood. The differences between the disclosed technology and the present invention will be described in detail.
(1) However, in [Claim 2] and [Claim 4] of [Claims] of Patent Document 13, the barcode information is read by a reading device, and the digital information is read based on the read information. An aspect in which the sound is output by the voice of the type voice recorder is disclosed. However, there is no disclosure about the technical idea of recording in advance corresponding to the barcode information as in the present invention.

(2) In paragraph [0006] of Patent Document 13, it is disclosed in the item “b.” That “a description or situation corresponding to each photo to be attached to the album is recorded in advance on a recorder”. Is disclosed in the item “e.”, “When a sensor corresponding to a photograph is touched, the recorder is activated immediately and a description of the corresponding photograph is output by voice”. However, there is no suggestion or disclosure regarding what means is used for recording in advance corresponding to a specific photograph.

The “bar code reader” in the present invention is considered to correspond to the “reading device” in Patent Document 13, but in Patent Document 13, the word “reading device” appears [Claim 4], paragraph If the description of the number [0001] and the paragraph number [0004] is carefully examined, there is a description that discloses or suggests a mode in which the voice recorder is played back in correspondence with the barcode information. There is no description that discloses or suggests a mode in which the voice recorder records in correspondence with the code information.
And since there is no description which discloses or suggests the aspect which makes a voice recorder record according to barcode information in patent document 13, of course, it is voice corresponding to barcode information. There is no disclosure or suggestion about the technical idea and the technical means to be recorded by the recorder.

Furthermore, in Patent Document 13, as is obvious from the description in the item “c.”, The “voice storage element (flash memory)” is limited to a removable method. It is not necessary to limit to such a method.

(3) In FIG. 2 of Patent Document 13, an album (1), a voice recorder (3), a connection cord (4), a connector (5), and a memory card (6) are depicted.
However, in the specification, there is no disclosure or suggestion regarding the functions to be performed by the “connection cord” and the “connector”.
Barely, in [Claims], in [Claim 3], the digital voice recorder is linked to "by connecting the album and the digital voice recorder with a connection cord and touching the touch sensor or turning on the switch." Is disclosed.

However, even the contents described in [Claim 3] are extremely vague descriptions and are extremely difficult to interpret for technical accuracy, based on the viewpoint of those skilled in the art.
Based on the ambiguous description in [Claim 3], if an attempt is made to interpret the functions to be performed by "connection code" and "connector", "connection code" It is assumed that the remote control switch (the expression in [Claim 3] has a very simple function of relaying a “touch sensor” or “switch”).

Further, [Claim 3] states that “album and digital voice recorder are connected with a connection cord”. For this description, a so-called person skilled in the art can connect a remote control switch connection cord (male). As for the connector (female) to be plugged in, it is possible to imagine to some extent that it will be installed on the digital voice recorder side, but what type of connector is adopted on the album side, which is only a paper product It is extremely difficult to imagine as a vague glue even if the contents described in Patent Document 13 are scrutinized from corner to corner.

As mentioned above, when summarizing the section “<< Difference between the technology disclosed in Patent Document 13 and the present invention”, Patent Document 13 discloses an aspect in which a voice recorder is recorded corresponding to barcode information or There is no description to suggest, and the technical idea to allow the voice recorder to record with a very high degree of freedom, without being bound by TPO (Time, Place and Occlusion), very flexibly in correspondence with the barcode information, There is no disclosure or suggestion of any technical means.

When the invention disclosed in the publications of the above prior documents (Patent Documents 1 to 13) is compared with the present invention, the two are “problems to be solved by the invention”, “means for solving the problems”, The “effects of the invention” are completely different, the technical ideas that led to the completion of the invention are completely different, and merely show the technical level as of the filing date of the present application.
Furthermore, in the above prior art documents (Patent Documents 1 to 13), as in the present invention, it is not a professional studio recording at all, and it is as if a snapshot is easily taken at home or personally. In particular, it should be noted that there is nothing based on the technical idea of recording and playing back directly and unambiguously in association with a bar code or the like without selecting a TPO casually and flexibly.
