It has a transmission / reception unit 38 and a recording medium drive unit 39 for communication via various lines including the above. The recording medium drive unit 39 is detachably attached with a recording medium 40 from the outside, and accesses the attached recording medium 40 under the control of the CPU 33 to read / write information. The read information is ROM35, RA
It is stored in a predetermined storage area such as M37.

The display section 31 to RAM 37 of FIG. 3 constitute the image processing terminal 30 according to the first embodiment.

The operation will be described with reference to the processing flowchart of FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 1, the mobile terminal 1
Aim the digital camera 21 of No. 1 toward the printed barcode 12. Then, in step S1, automatically,
Alternatively, the shape of the barcode 12 taken by the digital camera 21 (hereinafter referred to as the barcode shape) is manually input (read) from the barcode input unit 32 and RA
It is saved (stored) in M37 or the like. The image 13 in which the heart beside the barcode in FIG. 1 is a sample image after the target image is processed. Further, the input bar code 12 or the like may be any figure as long as information can be taken out such as a two-dimensional bar code.

Although only the bar code 12 is shown here as a figure to be read in order to obtain the processing information, it is not limited to the bar code 12 and information that is not standardized has the same principle as the bar code. Anything that can take out The bar code 12 is made up of a combination of white and black parallel lines of several widths, and is a general bar code used to display product codes, as well as various two-dimensional bar codes including QR (Quick Response) codes. May be

The data of the target image is captured by the digital camera 21 and is acquired, or is acquired from another and RO
It is stored in the M35, the RAM 37, or the like. The target image may be selected before or after the input of the barcode shape, and is selected automatically or by the user's input via the key input unit 36.

Next, in step S2, information such as byte data (hereinafter referred to as decoding information) is extracted from the stored barcode shape by the barcode decoding unit 34 or software processing and stored in the RAM 37 or the like. The decoding information corresponds to the processing information for processing the target image,
Based on the processing data suggested by the processing information, in the next step S3, the target image is processed by the following three processing methods, other processing methods alone, or a combination of a plurality of these processing methods.

(Processing method 1) When the processing data includes a program indicating a processing procedure.

CPU for processing data of the extracted decoding information
When the processing procedure program that can be directly executed by 33 is included, the CPU 33 executes the program to process the target image. For example, when the program shown in the flowchart of FIG.
35, the RAM 37, or the target image data in another place is subjected to the processing by executing each step of FIG. 5 (A). In the program of this example, each pixel value of the target image data is converted by the process of step S43, and the image can be converted into sepia tone, monochrome tone, or the like by the variation of step S43.

Here, the processing of the target image will be described by associating the processing of step S43 of FIG. 5A with the vertical loop or horizontal loop shown in steps S41, S42, S44 and S45. Here, the vertical loop is a loop (repetition) of the process of the coordinate (y coordinate) of the vertical data of the target image, and the horizontal loop is the process of the coordinate (x coordinate) of the horizontal data of the target image. Loop (repetition)
Refers to.

For example, when the target image has a horizontal size of "3" and a vertical size of "4" as shown in FIG. 5B, the vertical loop is a four-time loop with the vertical coordinate y = 0,1,2,3. Then, the horizontal loop is a three-time loop with the horizontal coordinate x = 0,1,2. Also,
Since there is a horizontal loop in the vertical loop, it is looped 3 × 4 times in total. That is, the coordinates of the data of all the pixels of the target image are rotated, and the process of S43 is performed for all the pixels.

According to the processing method 1, since the CPU 33 directly executes the program, the program execution speed is high.

(Processing Method 2) When the processing data includes a processing procedure using text data of a certain language.

Text data of a certain language (or C
A processing procedure by byte data that can be converted into a program that can be executed by the PU 33 is included, and the CPU 33 processes the target image data by using the processing method obtained while converting the processing procedure. For example, when the text data as shown in FIG. 6 is included, the CPU 33 interprets each line according to the language specification in which the text data is written, executes the obtained processing procedure, and processes the target image data. . In the first line of this text data, the text "line" is interpreted as "drawing a line", and the whole line "coordinates (1
Draw a blue line from 0, 10) to coordinates (50, 80) "
In the second line, the text "rect" is interpreted as "drawing a rectangle", and the entire line contains "coordinates (20, 3).
0) draws a rectangle with a width of 70 and a height of 50 using the upper left corner as the vertex, and the third line is the text "oval".
Is interpreted as "drawing an ellipse", and the entire line "draws an ellipse with a horizontal radius of 60 and a vertical radius of 40 centered on the coordinates (position of 50% of width, position of 80% of height)" Represents a process.

According to the processing method 2, since a sentence such as a text is executed while being interpreted, the CPU 33 executes only the interpreted command, and the trouble is unlikely to occur. If the user wants to draw an ellipse, he or she can write the program in a meaningful word such as "oval", which makes it easy to write the program. Since a small description such as a text can have an interpretation of a complicated process, the description is small and the user can easily write a processing procedure. By changing the instructions that are interpreted for different CPUs, the same program can run on other platforms (eg, different CPs).
U) has the feature that it can be moved.

(Processing method 3) When the processing data includes data designating a processing image used for processing the target image.

The processing data includes image data, and the CPU 33 processes the target image by performing data processing such as superimposing this image on the target image. For example, if the image data of FIG. 7A is included and FIG. 7B is the target image, the data of FIG. 7A and the image of FIG. After processing, the processing result as shown in FIG. 7C is obtained. By this processing, the portion without the diagonal line in the center of FIG. 7A is superimposed as transparent. In addition, image data such as a small star is included, and the data can be scattered in the data of the target image. The included data does not have to be the image data itself, but may be a symbol or the like indicating the image data in the ROM 35 or the RAM 37 in FIG. 3 or another place that can be taken out. For example, it is a character code or a pictographic code.

As an example of combining these methods, the decoding information includes image data such as a star (processing method 3) and a processing procedure (processing method 1 or 2) indicating the position and size of drawing the image data. If so, the CPU 33 performs data processing such that the image included in the decoding information is enlarged or reduced to the size indicated by the above processing procedure at the position indicated by the above processing procedure of the target image. To do.

Each of the above-mentioned data contained in the decryption information may be compressed or the like, and conversion such as expansion may be performed before it is used. Further, the processing of the target image may be performed immediately after the decoding information is taken out from the barcode shape, or the processing information which is the decoding information is stored in the ROM 35 or the RAM 37.
You can also save it to a later location and perform it later. Further, the barcode shape may be stored in the ROM 35, the RAM 37, etc., and the processing information may be retrieved later.

FIG. 8A shows a display screen of the display unit 31. "Sepia" (processing the target image so that the color of the target image has a sepia tone), "Kirakira" (background of the target image, etc.) representing the processing item Is displayed) and "Star frame" (surrounding the target image with a star-shaped frame) is displayed, and it is reversed that "Sepia" is selected as the processing item. Displayed and shown.
By reading the barcode, a new processing item “heart” is added to the menu on the screen as shown in FIG. 8 (B). The user can process the image by selecting a menu with the key input unit 36 or the like. The processing item may be selected by any other method, or the image may be automatically processed at a certain timing.

In step S4, the user can confirm the images before and after processing on the display unit 31.

Decoding information including image processing information is stored in the ROM 35.
Alternatively, since it is stored in the RAM 37, it is possible to process the target image based on the decoded information after that, only by reading the stored decoded information, that is, by omitting steps S1 and S2 in FIG. .

[Second Embodiment] The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that communication is performed with another terminal (server) that is a supply source terminal that transmits and supplies processing data to a request source. When processing data is requested to the terminal, the terminal sends the processing data to the requesting image processing terminal, so the image processing terminal has a method of receiving the processing data.
