[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information processing symbol composed of a fan-shaped or polygonal aggregate and an information processing system based on the symbol (hereinafter referred to as a code), and in particular, multimedia shopping, management of confidential information, dispensing, etc. It relates to the usage method for business that requires small size and accuracy.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For information processing symbols and information processing systems, a bar code identification method is widely used. The existing business processing system using bar codes consists of a combination of black lines, and about 10 items of information are described by specified codes, which can be read from products, product packaging surfaces, etc. by a computer and its reader. , The method of decoding the written information is adopted. In addition, since existing barcodes have a problem in the amount of information described, a method of attaching a magnetic medium, a semiconductor, or a small compact desk has been developed in order to attach a large amount of information to cards and articles. Bar code utilization system (JP-A-63-98643), drive control method for various devices (JP-A-1)
-111662), telephone fax control method (JP-A-1-188149, JP-A-2-113771), product processing device (JP-A-2-100199), comprehensive inspection method in the medical field (JP-A-3-267721), blood container Distributor (JP-A-3-41365), book management method (JP-A-2-245966), and the like.

[0003]

Problems and problems to be solved by the invention The identification method using a bar code has a limitation in the amount of information to be written, and there is a drawback that a reading failure error is likely to occur when the information is downsized and written. Therefore, in order to write a large amount of information, a method such as attaching a semiconductor is taken, but it is expensive,
Its use is limited to valuables and cash cards. For this reason, there has been a demand for the development of an information description method that is highly sophisticated, small in size, and similar to an inexpensive barcode.

[0004]

Means and Methods for Solving the Problems The inventors of the present invention have paid attention to the features of inexpensive bar codes, and have made diligent efforts to reduce the size, increase the amount of information to be written, and improve the writing method that causes reading failures. Surprisingly, in order to reduce the size and increase the amount of information, it is more efficient to construct this line part with a fan-shaped or polygonal aggregate than with a conventional line. I found a thing. In addition, the combination of color and color can reduce errors rather than simple black and white, and the fact that fluorescence, light emission, radiation (X-ray etc.) absorbing substances can reduce read failures. Also, it is possible to use protrusions (with a mold) that use optical reflection such as a compact desk, or magnetically formed objects. Furthermore, when recording light-absorbing substances such as X-rays, check the contents of the package. As a result, the present invention code and its usage have been completed by discovering an advantage that can be used for the above.

In the case where the code of the present invention has a square integrated structure, the direction recognition point is set so that there is an information storage capacity of about 10 8 even by black and white coloring. When this is recognized in color, Information capacity can be further increased. The present invention relates to a code method for describing necessary information such as identification information and description information of an article and a method of using the code method. For example, it has realized ultra-miniaturization to the extent that it can be recognized on a movie screen or described on a pharmaceutical tablet. Is. First, the code of the present invention is composed of a fan-shaped or polygonal aggregated shape divided into a plurality of lines by at least one straight line passing through the center point of a circle or polygon, and provides a new code and its usage. .

Secondly, the fan-shaped or polygon-shaped aggregated shape is judged by the existing bar code based on black and white, but when the code of the present invention is a cloth cloth, it is light and dark, and further, fluorescence and light emission are caused by the combination of colors. An information recording format similar to a bar code is obtained by coloring with a light-absorptive paint so that it can be recognized optically or radiologically as a number from 0 to 9 and then applying it to a standard character such as JIS Kanji code. provide.

Make a contract to purchase the listed products on the operating device such as a mouse or, in the case of a reception-only device, by other communication means such as a telephone letter. The payment of the product price will be made with an ID card that is settled by bank. You can settle and check in with your ID card even when selling tickets, travel products, etc.

Test Example 3 (Automated Dispensing) A tablet is a white coating tablet with a diameter of 1 cm, and four components (code 1234) are labeled by printing one square integrated code of the present invention on two front and back surfaces of the tablet. did. Regarding capsules, No. 1 capsule was filled with the drug, and four components (code 1234) were labeled on the circumference of the capsule surface by a square integrated code linear method. Post-dispensing of 8 ingredients in a mixed state uses a PTP packaging type medicine storage container capable of storing 4 tablets and 4 capsules, and after determining the storage position in advance, the code after placing 8 ingredients in a mixed state The written number was read using a reader, and the tablets and capsules were stored at specified positions. In this test example, the code was read by the device and the medicine was stored in the predetermined storage location. However, this is a continuous operation, and the code is stored from the reading,
It has been found that it is easy for the device to automatically perform packaging by computer operation.

Test Example 4 (Fluoroscopic examination of contents) A black coating tablet having a diameter of 1 cm was used, barium sulfate was used for this, and one square integrated code of the present invention was printed on the tablet front surface and back surface at two places. 4 components by method (code 1
234) was labeled. This was packaged in PTP, stored in a medicine bag, and the prescription was read by X-ray imaging. In this test example, a simple method of reading the code with an X-ray contrast machine and reading the prescription was taken, but as a part of the continuous work of prescription, dispensing, and confirmation, the code was stored, packaged, and read.
It has been found that it is easy to carry out automatic description of the medicine bag by computer operation, and further, to consistently confirm the packaging of the wrong preparation. In the present invention, barium sulfate was used for code printing, but in practical use in medicines and foods, it is preferable to use non-toxic substances such as iodine colorants.
