Description

[0001] METHOD FOR CONTENTS DELIVERY SERVICE USING PRINTED MATTER [0002]

The present invention relates to a content delivery service method using a printed matter, more specifically, a service subscriber A edits a content to be delivered together with an image and codes and prints the content, And more particularly, to a content delivery service method using a printed matter capable of verifying an edited content with an image by decoding a recognition code of the printed matter.

The QR code is an abbreviation of "Quick Response" code, derived from Quick Response, a trademark of Denso Wave of Japan. It is a two-dimensional barcode that complements the capacity limitations of the bar codes used in the past and extends the format and contents. When you scan this code with a cell phone or smartphone reader, it automatically links to the homepage where information is provided. It has the advantage of storing not only character data such as numbers, kanji, and alphabets but also videos, and is being used as a means of promoting the company. Numbers can contain up to 7,089 characters, characters up to 4,296 characters, and up to 1,817 characters of Asian characters such as Chinese characters.

Bar codes have information only in one direction, while QR codes dramatically increase the amount of information that can be recorded by having information in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

In recent years, smart phones that have been rapidly spread over the years have become part of our real life by combining mobile communication and the functions of personal computers (operating system implementation, application running, and Internet access functions).

In addition, smartphone applications (hereinafter referred to as "apps") have been developed in such a wide variety of ways that they can not be enumerated, and they are evolving and provide many convenience with ideas useful for real life .

While the spread of smartphones and the development of smartphone applications are continuing to expand, the diffusion and use of QR codes is still insufficient compared to the usefulness and practicality of QR codes. The conventional technology is only to access the designated web and read the inputted information when the QR code is scanned.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and a system for editing a content, And a content delivery service method using the content delivery service.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a content delivery service method in which a service subscriber B having received a printed matter from a service subscriber A decodes a recognition code of a printed matter and can confirm a content edited by the service subscriber A together with the image .

Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a content delivery service method using a printed matter which can significantly reduce a capacity load of a server because an image selected by a service subscriber A is not stored in a server but an image is obtained from a printed matter received offline .

In order to solve the above technical problems, a method of delivering contents using printed matter according to the present invention comprises the steps of (1) executing a service app at terminal A, selecting an image (including 'photographing' or 'selecting from album' ; 2) editing the content on the selected image in the app screen; 3) the terminal A transmits edit information of the content to the server side; 4) the server stores edit information of the content and transmits the stored information to the terminal A; 5) generating a predetermined identification code in which the terminal A records the storage information and inserting the predetermined identification code into the image; And 6) transmitting, by the terminal A, an image in which the recognition code is inserted, to the printing apparatus side and printing.

7) delivering a printed matter printed by the printing apparatus offline; 8) executing a service application at the terminal B, acquiring an image of the printed matter, and recognizing the recognition code in the printed matter; 9) detecting the storage information recorded in the recognition code, receiving the editing information of the content from the server after the terminal B approaches the server by the detected storage information; 10) The terminal B displays an image of the obtained printed matter and expresses or executes the content according to the received editing information.

Preferably, the content includes at least one of text, sound, emoticon, two-dimensional (2D) animation, three-dimensional (3D) animation, sticker and moving image.

In addition, in order to allow the user to edit the content on the selected image, the app screen is provided with a text input mode, a sound input mode, an emoticon input mode, a two-dimensional (2D) animation input mode, a three- It is preferable that at least one of an input mode and a moving image input mode is provided.

The editing information of the content may include at least one of the type, content, size, angle, color, execution order, coordinate information, and priority of the content.

In addition, the storage information recorded in the recognition code may include a serial number of the storage of the server storing the edited contents of the contents or URL information of the server.

In addition, it is preferable that the step of editing the content on the image in the step 2) and storing the edited content in the terminal A is further added.

In addition, the service app preferably includes an album for storing the edited image of the content.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 is a block diagram of a contents delivery service system using a printed matter according to the present invention.

1, a content delivery service system according to the present invention includes a user A terminal 100, a terminal A, a printing device 200, a user B terminal 300 (or terminal B), and a server 400 .

When the content delivery service application is executed, the user A terminal 100 selects a desired image (e.g., photographing or selecting from an album) and edits (including input) the content to be delivered. When the editing is completed, the editing information of the content is transmitted to the server 400 side. At this time, the image itself is not transmitted to the server 400 side. As a result, the load of the storage capacity of the server 400 is significantly reduced. In other words, even a server with the same storage space can store more content.

The server 400 stores the editing information of the content in a specific storage and transmits the storage information such as the serial number of the storage and the URL address of the server 400 to the user A terminal 100 side.

Then, the user A terminal 100 generates a recognition code (e.g., QR code, bar code, etc.) in which the storage information transmitted from the server 400 is recorded, and inserts the recognition code into the selected photograph. For convenience of description, the present invention will be described by applying a QR code as the recognition code. Alternatively, various recognition codes can be applied to the present invention. For example, an outline of a specific object in a photograph (image) may be used as a recognition code, or a color code composed of a bar having a plurality of colors (or a specific pattern) may be applied. If an outline or the like of a specific object is used as a recognition code, the user A terminal 100 is included in the photograph itself without having to insert a recognition code. Therefore, in the present invention, 'inserting a recognition code into an image' also means that a recognition code is embedded in an image.

In addition, although the present invention has been described as 'image' for convenience of explanation, the image includes all files that can be read from a smart device such as a photograph, a PDF file, and various text files.

Then, the user A terminal 100 transmits the image (photograph) in which the QR code is inserted to the printing apparatus 200 and prints the image.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the printing apparatus 200 is a portable printing apparatus having short-range wireless communication means, and receives an image from the user A terminal 100 via the short-range wireless communication means. Then, a printout of the received image is output.

The short-range wireless communication means is for communicating with the user terminals 100 and 300 and may be a Bluetooth or an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), an IrDA (Infrared Data Association), an Ultra Wideband (UWB) Zigbee (IEEE 802.15.4)), and Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi).

However, in the content delivery service system according to the present invention, the printing device may be an office printing device, and the system may be configured to receive images through wired communication with the terminal A 100.

The printed matter (including the QR code) printed in this manner is transmitted to the user B from the off-line.

The user B terminal 300 recognizes the QR code at the same time as capturing the image of the handed photograph (printed matter containing the QR code), extracts the URL information of the server 400 from the QR code, ) Is detected. Then, the server 400 accesses the detected URL (URL) information to download the content from the storage having the serial number in the server 400 and displays or executes the content on the screen. On the other hand, the printed matter is captured or captured to obtain an image, and the obtained image is displayed on the terminal B 300. Displays the acquired image on the terminal B (300), and overlaps the downloaded content on the image.

The user of the terminal B 300 can view the content not represented in the printed matter together with the image (photograph) through the app screen.

A series of operations of the user B terminal 300 can be performed automatically without the user's input (e.g., button touch, etc.) and can be provided to users as an augmented reality service in this case.

The user terminals 100 and 300 may be a notebook computer or a mobile communication terminal (e.g., a mobile phone, a PDA, a smart phone or a tablet PC) or a desktop PC.

The user terminals 100 and 300 may include a QR code reader, a wireless communication unit, an A / V (audio / video) input unit, a user input unit, a sensing unit, an output unit, a memory, an interface unit, a control unit, .

The user terminals 100 and 300 may have a device or an application (e.g., a sound store service app) capable of reading QR codes or may store them in a memory. In the case of an application capable of reading QR codes, the user can download and install the application from the server 200 or an application store (hereinafter referred to as an 'App store').

A process of editing a content to be transmitted on an image and generating a printed material in which the content is coded will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8. FIG.

First, a content delivery service app (hereinafter referred to as a "service app") is executed from the service user A terminal 100 (terminal A) and a secret view generation menu 512 is clicked, 'Photographing' or 'selecting from album') pops up. The service application main screen 500 includes a secret view generation menu 512, a secret view reader 511, a backward 514, and a trash box 513. The secret view reader 511 is for recognizing the QR code of the printed matter at the user B terminal 300 to confirm the edited contents and the backward button 514 is for going to the previous step. The secret view is for deleting an image in the album itself, an edited image (an image containing the content) (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

 When an image is selected in the application screen 500, various menus for editing contents are displayed. In the present invention, the meaning of 'edit content' includes the meaning of 'input content', 'constitute content' or 'generate content', or is used in the same way.

The contents that can be edited are emoticons, sounds, texts, two-dimensional (2D) animations, three-dimensional (3D) animations, stickers, and moving pictures. For this purpose, various input modes 521 are provided in this embodiment. An emoticon input mode 521a, a sound input mode 521b, a text input mode 521c, a telephone number input mode 521d, and a URL input mode 521e.

In addition, a password setting menu 522, a storage menu 523, a transmission menu 524, and the like are provided at the upper right of the application screen for editing (see FIGS. 2 and 4).

The process of editing content will be described in detail with reference to FIG. First, when the emoticon input mode 521a is touched, a plurality of emoticons are displayed, and the emoticon 531 selected by the user is overlapped on the selected image 10. The overlapped emoticon 531 can be dragged and moved to a desired position of the image 10 and can be tilted by adjusting the angle (direction) by using the tilting button 531a and by using the resize button 531c The size can be adjusted. It is also possible to delete the selected emoticon 531 by touching the delete button 531b.

Next, the sound input mode 521b may be touched to insert a desired sound, for example, a background music, or a recording of the uplifting sound. When the sound is input in this manner, a display unit 532 is displayed to inform that there is a sound input. The display unit 532 may also have a delete button to delete the input sound.

Next, when a user touches the text input mode 521c, a keyboard for inputting a text is displayed, and the user inputs the text 533 to be transmitted. The input text 533 can be selected in size, color, font, and the like, and can be moved by dragging and tilting the image at a predetermined angle.

Next, when the user touches the telephone number entry mode 521d, a specific telephone number can be inputted by the keyboard, or the telephone number in the telephone book of the terminal A can be called together with the name.

Next, when the URL inputting section 521e is touched, a specific URL can be inputted by the keyboard.

In this way, the user can edit contents in various forms and contents. Also, the generated content can be deleted by providing a delete button 531c.

When the content is edited, the user touches the save menu 523 to primarily store the edited content in the user A terminal (refer to FIG. 6). When the user touches the storage menu 523, the service menu is stored in the service album installed in the user A terminal 100 in its own album. If the edited image is stored in the user A terminal 100, the user A terminal 100 may recall the image again later, and then perform the content editing further. Or, as described above, the user may touch the 'trash can' button to delete all or part of the stored image.

On the other hand, the user A can set a password on the application screen. When the password setting menu 522 is touched on the application screen, the password input window appears with the keyboard, and the user A can input the password (see FIGS. 2 and 7 ).

Next, when the user A touches the transmission menu 524 on the application screen, the content editing information and the password are transmitted to the server, and the server 400 stores it in the specific storage (refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 7). The content editing information includes the type, content, size, angle, color, execution order, coordinate information, priority, and the like of the content.

For example, when the content is text, the content, size, angle (presence or absence of tilting), position (coordinate information), color, font, and the like are transmitted and stored.

When the content is a sound or a moving picture, its content and time to be executed are transmitted and stored.

In addition, when the content is an emoticon, a sticker, or an animation, the selected emoticon or sticker and the animation itself are not transmitted, but an identification code (ID) such as a selected emoticon is transmitted and stored. At this time, Angle, color, etc. are transmitted and stored together.

Also, although each content may be represented or executed simultaneously, each content may alternatively be represented or executed in a time series fashion. For example, the upbringing file may be executed first, and then the text may be edited to be rendered. In this case, the priority of each content can be given, and this priority is also transferred to the server and stored.

When the content editing information and the password are transmitted to the server 400 and the storage is completed, the server 400 transmits the storage information to the terminal A 100. The storage information transmitted to the terminal A 100 includes the serial number of the storage of the server 400 in which the editing information and the password of the contents are stored and the URL information of the server.

The terminal A (100) generates a QR code (20) in which the stored information is recorded, and inserts the QR code (20) into the image (10).

When this process is performed, a preview screen is displayed on the app screen of the terminal A (100). In the preview screen, an image to be printed (10, including the QR code) is displayed. At this time, a button 542 for inputting the number of prints and a print button 541 are displayed on the app screen Reference).

When the terminal A 100 touches the print button 541, the image 10 on the preview screen is printed on the connected printing device (see 200 in FIG. 1). At this time, the printing apparatus 200 includes an office printing apparatus that performs wireless communication or portable or wired communication.

9 shows a printed matter 300 printed by a printing apparatus. It can be seen that the QR code 20 is inserted in the selected image 10 in the printed material 300. That is, it can be seen that the content to be transmitted is encoded in the QR code 20 and is not exposed to the printed matter 10 itself. The user A delivers the printed matter 30 to the user B together with the password offline. At this time, the password may be transmitted at the same time as the printed matter 30, or may be transmitted to other methods and times such as telephone, mail, etc. separately from the printed matter.

Hereinafter, the process of confirming the contents by the user B will be described with reference to FIG. 2 and FIGS. 10 to 12. FIG.

First, the user B who has received the printed matter 30 with the password executes the service application and touches the secret view reader 511 on the main screen (see 500 in FIG. 3) The rectangular guide frame 551 appears on the display window. At this time, the printed matter 30 is placed in the rectangular guide frame 551, and then the photographing & recognition button 552 is touched (see Figs. 2 and 10).

With this operation, an image of the print 30 is obtained.

On the other hand, when the QR code 20 is recognized, a password input window pops up on the app screen (see Figs. 2 and 11).

When the user B correctly inputs the password received from the user A, the terminal B 300 detects the storage information such as the URL of the server 400 and the serial number of the storage. The terminal B 300 can access the server 400 according to the detected storage information and receive the editing information of the content from the server 400.

Accordingly, the terminal B (300) overlaps and displays the contents (531, 533, 534, 535) together with the acquired image (40) on the app screen (see FIGS. 2 and 12). That is, text, emoticons, animations, stickers, and the like are displayed on the image, and sound and video are also executed in accordance with the time sequence that is executed or edited with the image. Here, the image 40 displayed on the terminal B 300 is not an image 10 selected by the terminal A 100 but an image of a printed matter. Therefore, the image 40 displayed on the terminal B 300 has the QR code 20. [

Also, in the case where sound or moving picture is included in the contents, it is preferable that a separate icon or button is formed for repeated listening or viewing. Also, it is preferable to touch the overlapped phone number 534 on the image to transmit it to the corresponding phone number, or to connect to the corresponding foreign party by touching the foreign party 535.

In this way, the user B can confirm the contents (531, 533, 534, 535) edited by the user A together with the image 40 of the printed matter.

The embodiment of the present invention is an example of a method of delivering a secret content using a printed matter, in which a man (a user of the terminal A 100) transmits a secret message confessing love to a woman (a user of the terminal B 300) It is a result of the situation.

The man (user of terminal A 100) edits secret content 531, 533, 534, 535, which is deliberately placed on the photo 10 taken with the woman (user of terminal B 300). At this time, the contents 531, 533, 534, 535 are characters, fostering recordings, background music, emoticons, animations, The content thus edited is set up and uploaded to the server 400.

Then, the photo 30 in which the QR code 20 is inserted is printed, and it is transmitted to the exciter (the user of the terminal B 300) together with the password.

The woman (the user of the terminal B 300) recognizes the QR code 20 in the picture 30 taken with the male (the user of the terminal A 100) and inputs the password correctly, 100) can confirm the edited contents 531, 533, 534, 535.

As described above, the contents (531, 533, 534, 535) are not displayed in the picture (30, printed matter) itself, and therefore the contents (531, 533, 534, 535) can be secretly transmitted. Also, by setting a password, it is effective for security and privacy protection.
