The specific embodiment
Fig. 1 is a wireless dish-ordering system schematic diagram of the present invention, comprises two-dimensional signal menu 11, has the terminal dish-order device 12 and the host side 13 of radio transmission-receiving function.When the user orders dishes, adopt this terminal dish-order device on this two-dimensional signal optional items of menu, to click, be real-time transmitted to host side with the information that is about to selected menu item and confirm, and receive the feedback signal of host side.
As shown in Figure 4, described two-dimensional signal menu 11 is made by the following method: at first, adopt INFRARED ABSORPTION printing ink to print a two-dimension code layer 112 on entire paper 111.This two-dimension code layer has comprised one or more coding units, and each coding unit is corresponding to a menu item.Fig. 2 shows the figure of a coding unit, wherein comprises two identical two-dimension codes, and each two-dimension code comprises the figure of a plurality of modules and the location usefulness of two-dimensional arrangements, and the module here is the black and white blockage, but also can be other shapes such as triangle, circle.The figure of this two-dimension code can make up according to the size of the marker of corresponding menu item, extends as repeating on the length and width both direction, does not have the restriction of number.Two-dimension code obtains menu item identification information (as title, numbering etc.) coding, to promptly obtaining the identification information of corresponding menu item after the two-dimension code decoding.The present invention does not limit the two-dimension code of selecting which kind of type for use, can adopt various forms of two-dimension codes, as Datamatrix, and PDF417, Maxicode or QR code etc.
Because the information content that two-dimension code carries is more than bar code, it is very little that its figure can be done, and therefore is convenient to set type.On the other hand, because the square on the two-dimension code is very little, human eye should not be discovered, and can not influence the attractive in appearance of menu.It is 1mm*2mm that two-dimension code graphics area among Fig. 2 has only the graphics area of 1mm*1mm coding unit, the two-dimension code feature size is mainly decided according to the nib size, the nib size should be greater than this image in 2 D code area, and the two-dimension code feature size is preferably 0.5mm*0.5mm~1.5mm*1.5mm.
Then, on this two-dimension code layer, go out a menu item marker layer 113, make menu image not influence reflection of light and absorption with the infrared transmission ink printing.This layer comprises the marker of one or more menu items, and marker can be image, literal and the symbol etc. of menu item.Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of a menu image (or literal, symbol) and corresponding coding unit, is that menu image is directly overlayed on its corresponding codes unit, in the figure that this coding unit constitutes is included in this menu image.So just realized OO selection, the user can grab sign indicating number from any one of menu item marker, and the scope that clicks is big, and no aligning problem makes things convenient for the user to select and can not obscure.Certainly, if the space is enough, the close position that coding unit is arranged on the menu marker also is fine.
In sum, the two-dimensional signal menu of present embodiment comprises: paper that can reflective infrared, be printed on two-dimension code layer (a printing black square) on the paper with INFRARED ABSORPTION printing ink, and be printed on menu item marker layer on the two-dimension code layer with infrared transmission printing ink.
As shown in Figure 4, the terminal dish-order device 12 of present embodiment is the form of a stroke or a combination of strokes (or other shape), can launch infrared light, and the light that reflects according to menu carries out the identification of two-dimension code and carries out information interaction with host side.The shell of this device is made up of a nib 120 of a pen container and front opening, and the critical piece of installing in the shell comprises: optical module 121, optical sensor 123, infrared launcher 122, processor 124, LCD display 126 and wireless launcher 125.Wherein:
Infrared launcher can adopt infrared diode, is installed on the inwall of nib and pen container joint portion, and its infrared light that sends shines two-dimensional menu by the opening of nib.
Optical module is lens (Lens), as convex lens, is fixed in the nib and faces the opening of nib, is used to filter the infrared light of two-dimensional signal menu reflection, has filter on these lens, and what guarantee to be sent to this inductor only is infrared light.Preferably, the focal length of these lens is arranged on nib, when like this nib being contacted with the menu item marker of main points, just can obtains the image in 2 D code clearly under this marker, but and isolation environment light.
Optical sensor can adopt CMOS sensor, is installed in the dead astern of described lens, and this inductor receives the reverberation behind lens filter, generates corresponding image information.
Processor is realized with a microcontroller MCU (or other logical calculation device), be used to receive the image information that optical sensor generates, identify corresponding two-dimensional encoded digital information, this two-dimensional encoded digital information is sent to wireless transceiver and receives the feedback information of the host side that wireless transceiver returns, also feedack can be sent to the LCD display unit.
Wireless transceiver, the two-dimensional encoded digital information that is used for receiving sends to host side, and the menu item identification information that the host side of receiving is fed back sends processor to.
LCD display unit (optional) is used for the information that video-stream processor transmits, and comprising: the menu item identification information, as title of selecting menu item etc.; The host side feedack, as selected menu item in accepted confirmation of host side etc.
Also comprise some other parts on this terminal dish-order device, as be used to control the switch module etc. of infrared emission, introduce no longer in detail here.
When ordering dishes, when the nib of terminal dish-order device contacts with the image that is printed on two-dimensional bar code, the infrared light that infrared launcher sends is after the transmission of menu marker layer, the infrared light that shines on the two-dimension code layer black module (or the white module on the black paper) is absorbed, the infrared light of other position is reflected back by paper, reverberation is behind lens filter, on optical sensor, form the image of coding unit appropriate section, the treated device identification of the image information that produces back generates corresponding two-dimension code encoded digital information, should two-dimensional encoded digital information send to host side then, to obtain the corresponding menu item identification information that feeds back to.
Based on considering more flexibly in the practical application, can increase by an options button again, be used for the affirmation of user to choice menus information, discern again behind the user key-press.But this options button does not influence the realization of this function of ordering dishes.
Host side can be that PC or other have the device of logical operation and Presentation Function, preserve menu database, the two-dimensional encoded digital information that is used for the emission of receiving terminal dish-order device, check and inquire about, and feed back identification information and other relevant information of this menu item dish to the terminal dish-order device.In addition, this host side also is responsible for the management such as statistics of database of menu, accounts.
Fig. 5 shows corresponding flow process, may further comprise the steps:
Step 110, whether the host side inquiry receives the two-dimensional encoded digital information of menu item, if do not receive, then continues inquiry, otherwise, execution in step 120;
Step 120 checks that whether correct the two-dimensional encoded digital information of menu item and effectively, if correct and effectively, execution in step 130; Otherwise, return execution in step 110;
Step 130 is done corresponding record, inquiry and processing according to the two-dimensional encoded digital information of menu item, and as inquiry name of the dish and price statistics, the information of noting is used for management such as follow-up statistics, analysis;
Step 140 sends feedback information according to result to the terminal dish-order device, as the name of the dish and the price of correspondence;
Step 150, whether the host side inspection receives replying of terminal dish-order device, if do not receive and reply, then execution in step 140 sends feedback information once more, if receive, returns step 110.
On the basis of the foregoing description, the present invention can also have various mapping modes, and these modes and equivalent thereof also should belong to protection scope of the present invention.
For example, in another embodiment, also can in form of a stroke or a combination of strokes terminal dish-order device, increase a memory, as FLASH, be used to preserve a simple menu database, as the two-dimensional encoded digital information of menu item and the corresponding relation of menu item identification information.Like this, processor in the terminal dish-order device is after identifying two-dimensional encoded digital information, just can find the identification information of this menu item, only need this menu item identification information (as the sequence number or the menu identity of menu item) is sent to host side, do follow-up record, inquiry and statistical disposition for host side.Can reduce the data volume that transmits between terminal dish-order device and the host side to a certain extent like this.Menu database in each terminal dish-order device but need upgrade in time.In addition, in this case, host side also can send feedback information for the terminal dish-order device, and the menu device can directly show menu identity or the relevant information that identifies.
And for example, in another embodiment, also the two-dimension code layer can be printed on the menu item marker layer in the mode of invisible-bar-number or under, print as adopting the far infrared fluorescent ink, also be fine with special infrared recognition device interpretation again.At this moment, the material of menu item marker layer and paper need have different optical properties with the printing ink of printing two-dimension code to recognition device emission light, when the top, the material of two-dimension code layer absorbs emission light as the two-dimension code layer, and the material of menu item marker layer and paper reflection emission light; When perhaps the two-dimension code layer is between menu item marker layer and paper, menu item marker layer transmissive emission light, the two-dimension code layer adopts can absorb the emission luminescent material, and paper adopts can reflect the emission luminescent material.But, the cost of the two-dimensional signal menu of this embodiment is higher.
And for example, described terminal dish-order device also can adopt being connected of wired mode with host side, as linking to each other with the transmission data by USB interface.
