Description

DIGITAL OR PRINTED PERSONALIZED SPECIAL CODE CREATION AND DATA STORAGE METHOD ON OBJECTS SUCH AS PHOTO, MAGNET, INVITATION CARD

TECHNICAL FIELD

Invention relates to a digital or printed personalized special code creation and data storage method on objects such as photo, magnet, invitation card, sticker, wherein said method can be used sectors like printing, gifts, jewelry and accessories, clothing, digital industry, advertising, tourism, photography, promotion, organization, education.

PRIOR ART

In the current technique, all products and photographs on which text, drawings or symbols can be added, as well as postcards/cards with theme content (such as birthday cards) and other images that can be shared digitally, only information written, drawn or symbolized on the relevant product can be seen. However, this information only allows us to write or add something to the extent of the width of the field. Thus, we can only reflect our emotions in a limited way through the relevant product. This is a disadvantage, and it has the disadvantage of not being able to convey our feelings or the message we want to convey the information correctly or in a limited way. In addition, more than one sharing or effort is required in order to convey our current knowledge and / or feelings to someone or people who are not with us, who are far away.

Today, there are only written expressions on invitation cards or in the invitation formats shared digitally (wedding invitation, opening invitation, etc.) and emotion transfer cannot be reflected and in this very special invitation process, which is also very important in our culture, the feelings of the person who invite the people they love and value, the original information and emotion that are desired to be conveyed cannot be reflected. For this reason, the invitation card industry has gained diversity and has developed especially in our country due to cultural habits. Magnets, which can be another application of the invention, are in demand by many people today and define a certain time period (such as travel) or a brand or object. Since the current magnets are not specialized, they are only an ordinary product and do not have personalized feature. In addition to the areas of use described above, when we travel to a certain place, we record many photos and videos and store them in the smartphone memory, computer environment or sometimes as an album if the photos are too many. Since we keep our records belonging to this special moments in the same environment as our ordinary business files that we keep daily, their special status is actually lost in shape.

Although there is no patent similar to the method subject to the invention in the detailed patent research conducted, some patents made in the similar technical field have been found. These patents are referred to below.

Patent application publication numbered CN10S605999 discloses a QR code card, in particular a greeting card or a postcard. The card contains a card body; here the card body is supplied with a QR code. Meanwhile, a method of applying the card with a QR code is also provided. According to the invention, the QR code technology is combined with a traditional greeting card or postcard, can be forwarded to relatives and friends to express their own recorded video requests, and shared with other people, including photos, thus providing extremely rich visual experience, moreover, an innovative way to send gifts and express wishes to relatives and friends, so that the QR code card has a very good market prospect.

Patent application publication numbered US2013124427 describes systems and methods for implementing a legal transaction, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The method involves retrieving recipient data that includes a recipient name, a recipient address, and a unique recipient identifier. The buyer is one of the many buyers involved in the transaction. The unique recipient identifier distinguishes the recipient from other recipients of a large number of recipients. The method also includes retrieving sender data, including a sender name and sender address. The method further includes obtaining a network location identifier that identifies the network address of a website for the recipient to access and perform a desired action, and generating a QR code based on the network location and unique recipient identifier. The method also includes creating a postcard layout based on the QR code, recipient data, and sender data, printing the postcard, and mailing the postcard.

The patent application numbered TR2017/18547 enables smart devices with Nfc feature to communicate with near field communication tags (nfc), and the opening of the website that sells products or services on the internet enables shopping. NFC labels are combined with refrigerator magnets or adhesive labels in order to prevent communication problems that will occur when users place orders by phone or to prevent the time lost by typing the name of any sales site or finding its application. Thus, it is possible to access websites that sell products or services quickly and easily.

It is a known technique to apply QR codes on objects such as greeting card etc., and the above patents describe these methods. However, additional advantages and technical gains are provided by the method of the invention. These gains will be explained in detail in the objectives of the invention.

As a result, the existence of the above problems and the insufficiency of existing solutions made it necessary to make improvements in the relevant technical field. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

Based on the state of the art, the main object of the invention is to develop a method that eliminates the disadvantages of the prior art and provides additional advantages. Related invention covers a method of creating digital or printed personalized special codes and data storage on objects such as photographs, magnets, invitation cards, stickers etc.

An object of the invention is, to transform the uploaded data such as sound record, video, photo, writing, music files to personalized special codes such as QR code, barcode, soundwave art, NFC by means of a interface of a mobile application/web site and to integrate said codes onto an object/digital image, further that to allow the relevant visual to be shared in digital media. These practices are currently encountered in the world in different ways. As it can be applied on the product, it can be applied on photos in digital media and on cards that can be designed with certain themes or online, and can be categorized online with similar content shares and can also be easily shared on social media via web page and/or mobile application.

The subject of the invention "personalized special code application method" personalizes the products and digital/printed transmissions and allows the feelings and information to be transferred to the other party in a correct and complete manner.

The problems solved by the application method of the invention are given below in items. a. In the current technique, product personalization, which is limited to the limited space on the products, may contain much more data (picture, photo, video, sound recording, etc.) by using personalized special digital/printed codes subject to the invention and thus, any information and emotions that are desired to be transferred to the other party, can be transferred completely without any restrictions. b. It provides the opportunity to personalize this data by uploading videos, sound recordings, photographs, links, texts, music to relevant objects (invitation cards, magnet, greeting card, souvenir, etc.) and digital images, and if desired, it enables them to be shared on social media. In compact form; for example; by means of a photo, video, sound recording, photo, link, text, music can be shared and a soul/sense is given to the photo and a lot of information and emotions can be conveyed to the other party by easily sharing or posting a photo. c. The method of the invention enables us to personalize our posts in object- based or digital media, thus strengthening our emotional ties with the people we value and love. d. By being able to carry out many processes at once with a special personalized code application, it eliminates the work that we need to make extra effort in certain areas, ensuring that we are understood correctly in one move. e. While social media has to share more than one photo, video, music, sound recording, text about an event via mobile phone, it is possible to use special code applied photos, products, cards, etc. with objects, at once, we provide the fastest way to store and transfer data. f. For example, we can constantly experience special moments that we value in a travel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In this detailed description, preferred embodiments and alternative applications of digital or printed personalized special code creation and data storage method on objects such as photographs, magnets, invitation cards, stickers etc., are explained only for better understanding of the subject and without any restrictive effect. Personalized Special Code Application Method on an Invitation Card: The use of personally designed/created codes such as QR code, barcode, NFC, Soundwave Art, Augmented Reality etc. on an invitation card, enables people to share photos, videos, music, sound recordings and texts and thus enriches our invitation requests and we can share information and feelings in line with our wishes. The feeling, original knowledge and emotion of the person who invite the people he or she loves and values are reflected. The invitation card industry develops positively. Invitation cards can contain, for example, specific professional, fictional-based generic footage, which supports many minor branches.

Personalized Special Code Application Method on a Magnet: Magnets are now sold for many purposes or given for promotional purposes. With this invention, magnets are enriched with a personalized special code so that the desired video, sound recording, photo, music, link or text can be loaded into this code by the user or magnets can be sold to the user with the data loaded. If desired, this data can be changed by the user or optionally can be sold as non-alterable (closed to change).

Person purchases a magnet specially designed/created with a personalized special code image such as QR code, barcode, NFC, Soundwave Art, augmented reality (AR) etc. that allows data to be uploaded (wherin said image is applied by printing, pasting onto the magnet) and optionally uploads data including video, sound recording, photo, link, music or texts. If there is a travel-related magnet, the relevant data requested to be uploaded by the specialer is collected on a common travel platform website and published in a way that everyone can follow and review in line with the specialer's preference. Thus, a data pool of different locations of the world and tourism destinations is formed. For example; a person who wants to reach the information such as photos, videos, comments, articles, music, links, surveys, blogs, surveys, etc. about Pamukkale on the travel platform website, then he/she can search for Pamukkale and easily access all the information under these names. In addition, through this method, a tourism location's popularity chart, inventory and evaluation can be created in line with the magnet sales rates at national and international level and a local or national competition environment can be created on the basis of relevant places and advertisements can be taken on a national and international basis.

Printing of the Travel, Special Event/Organization Photos with a Smart Specialized Code Photo Printer: Person can convert the selected videos, audio recordings, photographs, links, texts, music of the relevant travel, special event or organization into a personalized code through the mobile application/website and person can order and purchase the product with a special code printed on a representative photo. He can print himself or get it via a mobile or fixed-installed smart specialized code photo printer. Thus, many data can be accessed in a compact form on the photograph, which represents being there, like a magnet. While photographs can be printed with the printer, a personalized code can also be printed on objects such as a t-shirt, magnet, concert ticket. The printed personalized code allows the collection of all data such as photographs and videos of the relevant event, the memory of the event to be completely stored and accessed via the mobile application/website when requested.

In an application method of the invention, it is realized by the use of a special code visual that allows data loading, such as QR code, barcode, NFC, Soundwave Art, augmented reality (AR). Upon the request of the specialer, a relevant product / object (invitation, postcards with different content, cards, souvenirs, magnets, stickers, textile products, photographs, photo albums, cards, advertising products, stationery products, household goods) or digital images (postcard, photo, profile pictures, pictures) are selected and video, sound recording, photo, music, link or text, are converted into personally created codes such as DataMatrix, barcode, NFC, soundwave art via mobile application/website and once placed on the product, it is scanned by a special code reading application on the smart phone and the loaded data is easily displayed by the smart phone. Digital works can be used or shared via digital images (for example; uploading data about the trip via special code application to the travel photo) or directly on social media if desired. ln an application method of the invention; to be kiosks in the sense of fixed venues, open areas or especially in events gathered for common purposes where there is crowd (concert, seminar, festival, event, holiday, travel place, etc.), with the application developed from the file on the mobile phone of the person's video, sound recording, photo, link, music, location file or texts obtained by mobile phone or other shooting devices are converted into personally designed/created code such as QR code, barcode, NFC, Soundwave Art, augmented reality (AR ) during the relevant activity (The relevant files are uploaded to the system via the mobile application/website and a special code is created.) it is provided that placing/fixing/ integrating the personalized code on any product, either printed or printed on a photograph selected, preferred by the person or chosen by the person or designed by the event organization, on a photograph selected by the personalized code containing all the data requested by the person and printing from the smart code photo printing machine is performed instantly. In order to perform the printing process, it is necessary to have the relevant code read by the printing machine or to transfer the personalized code reference number to the system.

The printing machine can be used as mobile (concert, festival, etc.) as well as stationary/mobile service in holiday destinations and city centers. In addition, in order to make its marketing more attractive, the representative photo with a personalized code can be personalized with the logo of the relevant municipality, hotel, organization, city, country, region or as a different promotional tool.

In another application method of the invention, printing processes made by a special code photo printer and/or photo data uploaded to the online system can be transferred to a different tourism travel destinations website depending on the specialer request. With the help of GPS-based location sharing based smart code photo printing machine, for example, data about photo printing and/or photos uploaded to the online system will be stored and displayed on a website under the name of Cappadocia. In this way, a web-based travel platform will be created that includes data such as photos taken by all users and can be viewed by members of the system. Thanks to the code system, reporting is provided and efficiency control is provided to companies. With the code to be added to any web page, it is possible to sell products that can be personalized with QR code and can be loaded with videos from the relevant web page (for example; gift note etc.).
