Description

  The present invention relates to an accessory with a two-dimensional code attached to a mobile terminal such as a camera-equipped mobile phone. The present invention also relates to an information system for reading this two-dimensional code with a portable terminal and connecting it to a server to obtain required information from the server. The present invention also relates to an information reading program that sequentially reads a plurality of two-dimensional codes, extracts data, and processes them in association with each other.

  In recent years, mobile phones with cameras have become a boom. Since many mobile phones can perform WWW browsing and Internet mail transmission / reception, a photograph taken with a camera is attached to an e-mail and transmitted. Further, for example, it is possible to take out data by photographing a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark) with a camera. In the two-dimensional code, not only characters but also images can be compressed and encoded. There is also a survey that over 70% of users who have straps on their mobile phones at the time of this application. In addition, an increasing number of mobile phones can be equipped with portable storage media for storing the above-mentioned photos and music data. In this way, carrying various contents and enjoying a mobile life has been actively performed.

Regarding the portable storage medium, the invention of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-67442 “Portable Storage Medium Portable Device” can be raised. This is an invention for easily carrying a small memory card together with a mobile phone or the like, and is formed by attaching a hand strap to the memory card. Therefore, a memory card can be attached to a mobile phone, and this memory card can be used by inserting it into a slot of the mobile phone when necessary.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-67442 “Portable Storage Medium Portable Device” “15th Mobile Phone Content / Service User Survey”, 2. About mobile phone accessories, May 16, 2005, Infoseek Research, [Search May 18, 2005], Internet <URL: http://research.www.infoseek.co.jp/release/rs_resource_49.phtml>

  The inventor of the present invention wanted to make more effective use of such a camera-equipped mobile phone. As for the two-dimensional code such as the QR code (registered trademark), there is a two-dimensional code because it is generally photographed on a printed matter such as an advertisement poster or a magazine or a screen displayed on a personal computer. There is a problem that it can not be used unless it is a place. Moreover, it is still expensive to carry the portable storage medium as an accessory. For example, there is an SD (registered trademark) card, but at the present time, no matter how small it is, the price at the store is several thousand yen. Further, since the strap is an accessory attached to a mobile phone, it is desired to use it effectively by attaching a mechanism that allows access to some content without the portable storage medium.

  In the present invention, the accessory body is provided with a connecting tool such as an attachment string for attaching to a mobile terminal such as a camera-equipped mobile phone, and a two-dimensional code obtained by encoding data such as a URL address. It is an information accessory that has the most important features. As described above, the two-dimensional code is displayed on a printed matter such as an advertisement poster or a magazine, or on a personal computer screen. Therefore, in order to give portability to the two-dimensional code, a two-dimensional code is used. You have to print it. However, there is a problem that it is easy to lose or management becomes difficult if such a small one is used. In view of this point, in the present invention, a two-dimensional code is attached to an accessory main body provided with a connecting tool such as an attachment string. For this accessory, it is important to combine the two-dimensional code with the shape of the accessory body, the characters marked on it, and the image drawn.

  In this case, the two-dimensional code portion is always present with the portable terminal, and information can be extracted at any time by photographing with the camera. In addition, problems such as loss and management become difficult. Moreover, it becomes practical enough as an information accessory that can access content, and can be sold at low cost as a souvenir. The information includes fortune telling, fortune-telling, local information and directions in short sentences, e-mail forms for application for sweepstakes, URL address indicating the location of photos, music files, etc., the location where the mobile terminal is located Arbitrary data such as a URL address indicating a CGI (Common Gateway Interface) program for generating a map of the area and a weather forecast map can be converted into a two-dimensional code.

  As described above, when the two-dimensional code is obtained by coding data such as a URL address, the URL address can be obtained by photographing with the camera of the mobile terminal, whereby the mobile terminal is connected to the information server. If the communication function is provided, the content can be accessed from the portable terminal. In the information accessory according to the second aspect of the invention, a two-dimensional code obtained by encoding data such as a URL address is attached to the accessory main body, and an authentication code is attached to an arbitrary portion of the information accessory. The most important feature. Therefore, it is possible to perform access authentication using an authentication code when accessing content from a mobile terminal. This makes it more difficult to access content from the standpoint of portability and non-regular users if you do not have this information accessory.

  That is, a mobile terminal such as a camera-equipped mobile phone that can read a two-dimensional code obtained by encoding data such as a URL address and connect to the server indicated by the data, and a tourist guide in response to a request from the mobile terminal In a server client system comprising an information server for transmitting the information to the portable terminal, the accessory main body unit is attached to the portable terminal that requires the information from the information server with a connecting tool such as an attachment string. And the authentication code is provided at an arbitrary location of the information accessory, the mobile terminal reads the two-dimensional code with the camera of the mobile terminal, obtains the data, and accesses the information server. The server asks the mobile terminal for authentication, and the mobile terminal sends the authentication code, which is authenticated by the information server. Once you information server sends the information to the portable terminal, the portable terminal is an information system that outputs this receives this information. When the portable terminal reads data such as a URL address from the two-dimensional code, accesses the information server, transmits the authentication code from the portable terminal in response to an authentication request from the information server, and authenticates this with the information server, the portable terminal Can receive information. Note that a camera is required to read the two-dimensional code for the type of the portable terminal, and communication means such as a cellular phone or a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) is provided when communicating with the information server. There is a need. Therefore, digital cameras and camera-equipped mobile phones are equipped with a camera from the beginning. Some mobile phones can also be equipped with an external camera. You may provide a camera in the audio performance machine which incorporated the semiconductor memory. If a communication means is necessary, it may be provided in a digital camera or audio player. As long as the necessary functions are provided in this way, the type of the portable terminal is not particularly limited.

  The accessory body may be a mount, a wooden card or a cloth bag, a medal, a mascot doll, a liquid crystal screen cleaner, a mini book with pages, a pill case, a memory card, an LED light, or the like. The two-dimensional code may be printed on the surface of the accessory body, or a sticker printed with the two-dimensional code may be attached to the surface of the accessory body. For example, a synthetic resin sheet on which a two-dimensional code is printed is bonded to an amulet cloth bag. As described above, the shape and material of the accessory main body portion are arbitrary, and it is completely free no matter how the two-dimensional code is attached. One or more two-dimensional codes may be used. Further, a plurality of two-dimensional codes having the same contents and different image sizes or different error correction levels may be provided. It is also possible to provide a plurality of two-dimensional codes having different contents. According to this, for example, a two-dimensional code for obtaining a slide show content created using a postcard or the like, a delicious shop, profit information, etc. It is possible to provide a two-dimensional code for accessing a bulletin board for exchanging local word-of-mouth information in one accessory main body. Moreover, although it is a case where an authentication code is attached | subjected to an accessory main-body part, a connection tool, etc., an authentication code may be a visible character string or a two-dimensional code. In addition to the attachment string (pine needle thread, rubber pine needle), any connection tool such as a chain, a ball chain, a coil spring, a leather string, a crab can be used as the connection tool.

  Now, hand straps are often attached to mobile terminals such as camera-equipped mobile phones. The hand strap is useful for preventing the mobile terminal from falling or as an accessory. Therefore, in the present invention, the accessory main body is provided with a connecting tool such as an attachment string, and the accessory main body is attached to the portable terminal by this, but the hand strap is further attached to the information accessory of the present invention. May be. This eliminates the need to attach another hand strap. Further, when a hand strap is attached and an authentication code is used, this authentication code may be attached to the hand strap side. In addition, a neck strap can be attached to the information accessory of the present invention.

  Next, the accessory main body portion may be provided with an image such as a photograph or an illustration on one side and a two-dimensional code on the other side. The image on one side becomes an accessory similar to the conventional one, and further information and the contents of the information providing site can be accessed by the two-dimensional code on the other side.

  Next, in the information accessory of the present invention, the two-dimensional code may be covered with a transparent cover for preventing dirt. As described above, a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark) has been generally used in a state of being printed on a printed matter such as an advertisement poster or a magazine. In this case, when it becomes difficult to read due to getting wet or dirty, it is difficult to wipe off moisture and dirt because the other party is paper and printed on it. In the two-dimensional code, an error correction level is set, but if it exceeds this level, it becomes impossible to read substantially. Therefore, the two-dimensional code should not be dirty, but by placing a transparent cover to prevent the dirt from being put on the two-dimensional code, it becomes possible to wipe it over and carry it without having to worry about dirt. The effect is great. In addition, when the two-dimensional code which reversed right and left is printed on the back surface of the thin plate made of transparent synthetic resin and white solid printing is performed thereon, it is considered that the dirt cover is realized on the surface which is the reading side. be able to.

  Similar functions can also be realized by configuring as follows. In other words, the accessory main body portion may be made of a transparent body, and the information accessory may have an inverted two-dimensional code on the back side of the transparent body. Therefore, from the surface side of the transparent body, the two-dimensional code in the correct posture can be seen through the transparent body, and even if the surface of the transparent body becomes dirty, it can be cleaned by wiping the surface. .

  Next, in the information accessory of the present invention, a secret mask can be applied to the two-dimensional code. As described above, the type of information that can be provided is arbitrary. For example, when the information accessory of the present invention is sold as a souvenir in a tourist spot such as Kyoto, the URL address is two-dimensionally coded on the accessory body. Assuming that this URL address is accessed with a WWW browser built into a camera-equipped mobile phone, the contents that can be displayed with the WWW browser include postcards in Kyoto, directions to tourist spots, maps, It is good to have explanations of temples and shrines, things like fortune telling and fortune-telling. In this case, it can be seen that what is sold is information called content rather than accessories. Then, until the information accessory of the present invention is purchased, the target URL address cannot be accessed. The concealment mask hung on the two-dimensional code can conceal the two-dimensional code until the mask is removed. As this mask, scratch printing (so-called silver peel-off, but there are some inks that do not have a silver ink residue), a peelable laminate seal, or the like may be used. By attaching a dummy two-dimensional code to the surface of the silver peeler or laminate seal, it is known that the two-dimensional code is hidden under this, but the correct URL address cannot be read. Is possible.

  In the information accessory of the present invention, a secret mask may be hung on the authentication code. Again, the authentication code can be concealed by a mask. When both the two-dimensional code and the authentication code are used, either one may be applied to the mask, but it goes without saying that both may be applied.

  By the way, regarding the server client system including the mobile terminal and the information server described above, the information server acquires the position information of the mobile terminal before the information server transmits the information desired by the mobile terminal to the mobile terminal. Information depending on the information can be selectively transmitted. The position information of the portable terminal is information on the position where the user carrying the portable terminal is present. When the mobile terminal uses a mobile phone network for communication with the information server, the location information is based on the location of the nearest base station (such as base station 301 in FIG. 9 described later), and the mobile terminal receives GPS (Global Positioning In the case where a (System) device is provided, an accurate position can be determined by radio waves from a GPS satellite and used as position information. Accordingly, it is possible to selectively transmit a map of the land where the user is present, a tourist guide, a local bulletin board, and the like from information that can be provided by the information server. In this way, the information server side can provide a detailed service that is different from the region.

  If position information such as longitude and latitude is included in the two-dimensional code of the information accessory of the present invention, the information server can use it as position information by transmitting it to the information server. Since a plurality of location information can be recorded in the two-dimensional code, for example, in the Kyoto Higashiyama area, it is possible to embed the locations of several major tourist spots in the information accessory of the present invention, The user may select and use the current tourist spot from among these, or may select and use the required tourist spot for the preparation or review of the destination.

  By the way, regarding the server client system composed of the above-described mobile terminal and information server, when the information server requests authentication from the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal transmits an authentication code, for example, a mobile terminal such as a key switch of a mobile phone. The input device is used. If the two-dimensional code converted from the password can be read and transmitted by the camera instead of relying on the input device, the operability must be greatly improved. Therefore, in the information reading program of the present invention, the first two-dimensional code is read into a portable terminal such as a camera-equipped mobile phone that can read the two-dimensional code and connect to the server indicated by the data, and this data indicates A second two-dimensional code is read into an input form for inputting a password or the like transmitted from the server, and this data is input and transmitted to the server. This eliminates the need for troublesome operations such as typing a password using the input device, and enables a speedy operation.

  By the way, although it is a stack type or matrix type two-dimensional code having a larger amount of information than a conventional bar code, the QR code (registered trademark) still has a limitation of 4296 alphanumeric characters and 1817 kanji characters. In addition, when there are a plurality of two-dimensional codes, only one two-dimensional code can be read at a time. Therefore, there is a problem that a larger amount of information cannot be practically handled. If you dare to deal with this, you have to save each time you read each two-dimensional code as a text file, and then manually edit them by connecting them in the editor. become. Therefore, in the information reading program of the present invention, a plurality of two-dimensional codes are sequentially read into a portable terminal such as a mobile phone with a camera that can read out the data by reading the two-dimensional code, and the data are connected and output. Like to do. According to this, since the two-dimensional codes are read continuously and connected at the end, the amount of information that can be handled is virtually unlimited, and the user is not burdened. The data output is generally output to the display screen of the mobile terminal, but can be designed to transmit using a communication function.

  A plurality of two-dimensional codes can be attached and their reading order can be shown so as to meet this purpose of use. For example, a number indicating the reading order is added to each two-dimensional code. In this way, it becomes easy to connect the texts in order. Note that the numbers may be placed outside the two-dimensional code or within the two-dimensional code to the extent that the error correction level is not exceeded. In addition, regarding the information reading program, it is more preferable to add a function that inserts a number indicating the reading order into each of a plurality of two-dimensional codes, and based on this, edits that connect them in a desired order. In this way, the user does not have to worry about the order in which the two-dimensional code is read.

  In a conventional camera-equipped mobile phone, if there is a character string recognized as a URL address in the contents of the two-dimensional code, when the user selects this URL address, the program for reading the two-dimensional code is a WWW browser. Is started and the URL address is delivered (URLto function). Similarly, the Mailto function activates the mailer and passes data and processing, the Phoneto function passes the process to outgoing calls, the address book input function passes the registration process to the address book, and so on. Designed to take. However, in the information system of claim 11 and the information reading program of claim 13, the next two-dimensional code is read for authentication from the information server by connecting to the information server indicated by the contents of the two-dimensional code. The process of transmitting the contents to the information server is performed on the portable terminal side. This has never happened before. According to the information reading program of the fourteenth aspect, a plurality of two-dimensional codes are sequentially read, information is taken out, and they are connected and output. This has never been done before, and the effect of making this possible is great.

  Similarly, the processing as in the invention of claim 15 has never been performed. That is, in this information reading program, a two-dimensional code is read into a portable terminal such as a camera-equipped mobile phone that can read out the data by reading the two-dimensional code, and the data is extracted, and a part of the data is read out in accordance with a predetermined rule. Cut out and output. Instead of outputting all of the read data as before, a part (block) of it is output. The predetermined rule is, for example, to shake the numbers so that there is no duplication in each block and display the blocks in order of young numbers each time the selection key is pressed, or to select blocks randomly selected by separating the blocks with spaces. It is a rule such as cutting out and displaying. For example, the former can constitute an English word card, and the latter can be implemented as a birthday fortune-telling, for example. In addition, such an information reading program is installed in advance in the mobile terminal, or the URL address is displayed when the two-dimensional code is first read, and it is downloaded by accessing here, You may design so that it may be installed in a portable terminal.

  Since the information accessory of the present invention attaches a two-dimensional code to an accessory main body provided with a connecting tool such as an attachment string, the two-dimensional code can be carried with a portable terminal such as a mobile phone with a camera, There is an advantage that information can be easily accessed at any time by taking the two-dimensional code with the camera of the portable terminal. In addition, if an authentication code is attached to any part of this information accessory, access authentication can be performed using the authentication code. If you have this information accessory, you can access the information as an authorized user. Access is allowed.

  In the information system according to the present invention, a portable terminal having an accessory body attached with a two-dimensional code attached thereto by a connection tool such as an attachment string communicates with an information server based on the two-dimensional code, and the information accessory Information is transmitted from the information server to the portable terminal by performing authentication based on the provided authentication code. Therefore, carrying the information accessory of the present invention together with the portable terminal has an advantage that information can be easily accessed as a regular user at any time.

  In the present invention, the purpose of making it possible to access the content at any time as long as a portable terminal such as a camera-equipped mobile phone is carried is realized by attaching a two-dimensional code to the accessory main body. As contents, there are contents that are output as they are in the contents of the two-dimensional code (reference numeral 20 in FIG. 2), and contents that are obtained by accessing the information server in the form of a URL address (FIG. 7). 53). That is, it can be said that the former does not communicate and the latter communicates. In the embodiment described below, a mobile phone with a camera is used as a mobile terminal, and a QR code (registered trademark) of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED is used as a representative of a two-dimensional code. It can be actually read by a mobile phone. However, in the description, it will be referred to as a two-dimensional code.

  The information accessory of Example 1 is demonstrated using FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, This information accessory is related with the bill for souvenirs sold at a temple company. A hole 10 is opened in the upper part of the paper accessory main body 1 cut to resemble an ema, and a Matsuba string connector 11 is attached to the hole 10 through the hole 10. A two-dimensional code 2 is printed on the back surface of the accessory body 1. The content of the two-dimensional code 2 is a fortune ticket, and the specific content is represented by the fortune ticket display screen 20 of FIG. The two-dimensional code 2 can contain about 1500 characters in Chinese characters. In addition, although the surface of the accessory main-body part 1 is not shown in figure, the picture of an ema is printed here. Moreover, although the accessory main-body part 1 is made from paper here, it is also preferable to make this into a wooden bill.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the accessory main body 1 is connected to and integrated with the string-through hole of the mobile phone 3 by the connecting tool 11. Therefore, this bill is always present together with the mobile phone 3 and serves as an information tool and accessory (amulet). When this two-dimensional code 2 is photographed with a camera, a fortune lottery is displayed on the display unit 30 (liquid crystal screen) of the cellular phone 3 by the operation of a two-dimensional code reading program built in the cellular phone 3. Therefore, the user can purchase this ema and attach it to the mobile phone 3 as an accessory. You can also play fortune-telling before and after this. It is also possible to make the contents of the fortune into an image instead of text.

  The information accessory of this Example is demonstrated using FIG. 3 and FIG. The feature of this embodiment is that a two-dimensional code 21 on which items necessary for creating an e-mail are written is printed on the back surface of the accessory main body 1 of the first embodiment described above, and covers the two-dimensional code 21. In this way, the transparent cover 12 is adhered. When the two-dimensional code 21 is read by the camera, the present application mail display screen 22 shown in FIG. 4 is designed to be displayed, so that the user can write and send the text on the mail display screen 22. . The idea is that you can tell if you are lucky or not by a sweepstakes.

  The two-dimensional code reading program reads the two-dimensional code 21 described in a predetermined e-mail format and displays the contents thereof. Among them, an anchor that passes the processing to the e-mail program that is native to the mobile phone 3 is included. Embedded (not shown). Therefore, when this anchor is selected, the mail display screen 22 is designed to be displayed by an e-mail program. Further, the transparent cover 12 can cover the surface of the two-dimensional code 21 to protect the two-dimensional code 21 from dirt. Therefore, in the unlikely event that the camera cannot be read by the camera, it can be read again by wiping the transparent cover 12.

  In this embodiment, an accessory of an acrylic base 4 with a hand strap 44, and an information system constituted by a mobile phone 3 and a telephone station 38 to which the accessory is attached will be described. That is, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the transparent accessory body 4 is printed with a two-dimensional code 50 and a character string of the password 51 below it on the back surface of the mount 5 enclosed inside. A photograph 52 is printed on the surface of the mount 5. In addition, a hole 40 is opened in the upper part of the accessory main body 4, and a connecting tool 43 of a Matsuba string is passed through and attached to the hole 40. The connecting tool 43, another connecting tool 42 of Matsuba cord, and a hand strap 44 are integrated by a stopper 41 made of synthetic resin. These are integrated by connecting to the string-through hole of the mobile phone 3 with the connecting tool 42. Therefore, this acrylic base 4 is always with the mobile phone 3 and serves as an information tool and a beautiful accessory with a transparent feeling. The character strings of the two-dimensional code 50 and the password 51 can be seen clearly from the surface of the acrylic base 4 through the acrylic. The acrylic base 4 can be mixed with light coloring or glitter, and can also be mixed with a fluorescent pigment or a luminescent pigment. Furthermore, it is possible to suspend a doll accessory or the like at the bottom.

  When the 2D code 50 is photographed with a camera through transparent acrylic, the URL display screen 53 is displayed on the display unit 30 of the mobile phone 3 by the operation of the 2D code reading program built in the mobile phone 3. (FIG. 7). This shows a link to a slide show of sightseeing photos produced with Macromedia Flash (registered trademark) called “Trip Album”.

  Next, the cellular phone 3 constituting the information system of this embodiment is represented by the block diagram of FIG. 8, and the whole including the telephone station 38 is represented by the block diagram of FIG. On the front surface of the cellular phone 3 with the photographing unit 32 (camera), an operation unit 31 including a numeric keypad and function keys and a display unit 30 of a liquid crystal screen are exposed, and on the back side, the photographing unit 32 is provided. Is provided. In addition, the mobile phone 3 mainly includes a communication unit 37 for voice communication and packet communication as a telephone, a storage unit 36 in which control software is recorded, and a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that controls these units. The control unit 33 is accommodated. The storage unit 36 is installed with a two-dimensional code reading program and a WWW browser program. This two-dimensional code reading program causes the control unit 33 to execute a process of reading the two-dimensional code 50 obtained by decoding text such as a URL address and displaying the contents. In the content read by the two-dimensional code reading unit 34, an anchor (URL address) for passing the processing to the WWW browser program which is a native application of the mobile phone 3 is embedded. Therefore, when this anchor is selected, the URL address is designed to be accessed by the WWW browser program. Accordingly, in this embodiment, the two-dimensional code reading unit 34 and the WWW browser unit 35 are formed in the control unit 33 in terms of software (FIG. 8).

  In addition to processing as a telephone station, the telephone station 38 operates as an information server 39 that communicates with the mobile phone 3 to provide content. The information server 39 includes a WWW server 300 and a storage unit 301, and content that can be provided by the WWW (World Wide Web) is recorded in the storage unit 301, and the WWW server 300 receives the request from the mobile phone 3. Read and send. A plurality of base stations 302 are connected to the telephone station 38, and the mobile phone 3 which is a component of this system communicates with the nearest base station 302 and is connected to the WWW server 300 to obtain predetermined contents. it can. The telephone station 38 includes a position information control unit 303. The position information control unit 303 includes a position information table 304, and the position of the mobile phone 3 that communicates with the nearest base station 302 is determined by this base information. The approximate position of the station 302 is recorded in the position information table 304. This is utilized in Example 6 described later.

  An explanatory diagram of the communication procedure of the information system of this embodiment is as shown in FIG. 10, and the mobile phone 3 is attached to the mobile phone 3 by the photographing unit 32 (camera). Is displayed, and the URL address as the content is displayed on the URL display screen 53 of FIG. Therefore, when the user selects this URL address, the processing is taken over by the WWW browser of the mobile phone 3, and the WWW browser makes a transmission request for the WWW page to the WWW server 300 of the information server 39 of the telephone station 38. Here, the WWW server 300 makes an authentication request to the WWW browser. This is for checking whether or not the user is a regular purchaser. If the user is a regular purchaser, the password 51 (FIG. 5) described in the acrylic base 4 attached to the mobile phone 3 is used. This is because it should be possible to input from the mobile phone 3. Thus, when the user inputs the password 51 from the operation unit 31, the WWW browser unit 35 transmits the password 51 to the WWW server 300. The WWW server 300 authenticates this and transmits a WWW page desired by the user to the WWW browser unit 35. Thus, the WWW page is displayed on the display unit 30 of the mobile phone 3, but this content is exactly the content pointed to by the URL address written as the two-dimensional code 50 on the acrylic base 4 attached to the mobile phone 3. is there.

  The information accessory of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13. The accessory body 6 is made of a transparent acrylic rod containing a fluorescent pigment, and a hole 60 is formed in the upper part thereof. Here, a ball chain connector 61 is passed and attached. The feature of this embodiment is that two two-dimensional codes 2 and 23 are printed on the back surface of the transparent accessory main body 6 side by side, and the upper surface of the accessory main body 6 is further covered so as to cover this. The white sheet 24 is bonded. Therefore, the accessory main body 6 of the acrylic stick is always present together with the mobile phone 3 and serves as a beautiful accessory with a sense of transparency as well as an information tool. In particular, the two-dimensional codes 2 and 23 viewed from the surface side of the acrylic rod are clear. In addition, since the acrylic rod contains a fluorescent pigment, it emits fluorescence, but the white sheet 24 on the back surface can make this fluorescence emission more clearly. For example, if a light emitted from a battery is attached to the lower end of the acrylic rod and is configured to emit light toward the acrylic rod, the portable light is convenient at night or in a dark place.

  In this embodiment, of the two two-dimensional codes 2 and 23, the two-dimensional code 2 is referred to as a first two-dimensional code, and the two-dimensional code 23 is referred to as a second two-dimensional code. The first two-dimensional code 2 describes a URL address indicating a WWW-based bulletin board system, and the second two-dimensional code 23 describes a password. These reading procedures will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the first two-dimensional code 2 is photographed by the photographing unit camera 32 through transparent acrylic (step S1). Next, the two-dimensional code reading program reads the URL address from the two-dimensional code 2 and displays the URL address with an anchor embedded therein. When the user selects this URL address, the processing of this URL address is delivered to the WWW browser program. (Step S2). When the WWW browser program accesses the bulletin board system pointed to by this URL address, the WWW server sends an authentication page to the WWW browser in response to this, and the WWW browser displays this authentication page (not shown). . When the second two-dimensional code 23 is photographed by the photographing unit 32, the two-dimensional code reading program reads the password from the two-dimensional code 2 (step S3). In this second photographing, the password authentication shown in FIG. The display screen 25 and the confirmation screen 26 are displayed in cascade, and when the user selects the YES button 27 on the confirmation screen 26, the password is entered in the form of the authentication page and transmitted to the WWW server (step S4). As a result, when the authentication is performed by the WWW server, the WWW server transmits the WWW page of the bulletin board. The two two-dimensional codes 2 and 23 may be provided with a reading order display.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the information reading program of this embodiment. This is obtained by adding the function of this embodiment to a two-dimensional code reading program, and reading a two-dimensional code and further reading another two-dimensional code on a display screen (not shown) or completing it. These two soft keys, that is, “continuous read” and “complete” are displayed. As long as the user continues to select “continuous reading”, the reading result is recorded in the storage device.

  That is, the two-dimensional code is read (step S5), and the read content is recorded in the storage device (step S6). During the “continuous reading”, it is continuously read and recorded. S7), all the records so far are connected and displayed (step S8), and the process ends. In this embodiment, the connection sequence of the recording is the reading order. For example, a serial number is assigned to each two-dimensional code, and the two-dimensional code reading program recognizes this number and reads it separately. Even the results obtained can be designed to be connected in the order of this number. In addition, when it is read twice, it is possible to design so as to delete the overlap by referring to this number.

  A two-dimensional code reading program according to the sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16. FIG. 15 shows a fortune telling master table 28 before being encoded into a two-dimensional code. Each fortune-telling result is composed of a headline 29 and content 200, and adjacent fortune-telling results are separated by a space 201 and divided into blocks composed of the headline 29 and content 200, but this is just a text file. . The fortune telling master table 28 is encoded into a two-dimensional code and attached to the accessory main body, and the accessory main body is attached to the mobile phone 3 with a connector.

  The two-dimensional code reading program of this embodiment reads the two-dimensional code with a camera to restore the fortune telling master table 28 (step S9), and randomly selects from the cutout block 202 cut out using the space 201 as a mark. One is selected (step S10), and the selected cutout block 202 is displayed on the display unit 30 of the mobile phone 3 (step S11). In the cutout block 202 selected in this way, the heading 29 and the content 200 are described. Since this is selected at random each time it is read by the camera, it becomes a fortune-telling. Therefore, there is an effect that the user never gets tired of playing fortune-telling, and this invention is important.

  In the above, the two-dimensional code reading program is in charge of everything from reading with the camera to random cutout display, but apart from this, the two-dimensional code reading program randomly selects one of the multiple fortune-telling results. You may choose to create a fortune ticket display screen and hand over the processing to another program. The fortune telling master table 28 divides a plurality of fortune telling results with spaces, but the design around this is free.

  In this embodiment, an information system including a mobile phone 3 and a telephone station 38 to which a liquid crystal screen cleaner 8 of Embodiment 10 described later is attached will be described with reference to FIG. This information system uses the information system of Example 3 described above (see FIG. 9). Here, the liquid crystal screen cleaner 8 (not shown) is attached to the mobile phone 3 with a mates cord connector 84, and a two-dimensional code 82 is printed on the liquid crystal screen cleaner 8. In the two-dimensional code 82, a URL address indicating a WWW server for accessing the map is written.

  When the two-dimensional code 82 is photographed by the camera, a URL display screen is displayed on the display unit 30 of the cellular phone 3 by the operation of the two-dimensional code reading program built in the cellular phone 3. Therefore, when the user selects this URL address, the processing is taken over by the WWW browser of the mobile phone 3, and the WWW browser makes a transmission request for the WWW page to the WWW server 300 of the information server 39 of the telephone station 38. On the other hand, in the telephone station 38, the position information control unit 303 can obtain the current position of the mobile phone 3 from the position information table 304. Therefore, the WWW server 300 requests the WWW browser to reply whether or not this position information may be used. This is for sending a map of the surrounding area where the mobile phone 3 is currently located to the mobile phone 3 based on the position information, and not only the map but also the region-dependent information can be provided with good timing. When the user operates the selection button on the operation unit 31 (not shown) to give permission, the WWW browser transmits to the WWW server 300. As a result, a map depending on the position information is sent from the WWW server 300 and displayed on the display unit 30 of the mobile phone 3. The map may be an accurate map or an illustration guide. Further, as the area-dependent information, the weather information of the area, the bulletin board of the area, the tourist photograph of the area, and the like can be raised.

  In this embodiment, an information system including a mobile phone 3 and a telephone station 38 to which a liquid crystal screen cleaner 8 of Embodiment 10 described later is attached will be described with reference to FIG. This information system uses the information system of Example 3 described above (see FIG. 9). Here, the liquid crystal screen cleaner 8 (not shown) is attached to the mobile phone 3 by a mates cord connector 84, and a two-dimensional code is printed on the liquid crystal screen cleaner 8. This two-dimensional code is characterized in that a URL address indicating a WWW server for accessing a map is written together with longitude and latitude information, and a plurality of such URL addresses are described.

  When this two-dimensional code is photographed by the camera, the URL display screen 85 is displayed on the display unit 30 of the mobile phone 3 by the operation of the two-dimensional code reading program built in the mobile phone 3. The title of this URL display screen 85 is “Kyoto Higashiyama district”, and several spots are written after this. Each spot is obtained by adding east longitude information and north latitude information to a URL address indicating a CGI (Common Gateway Interface) program for displaying a map on the WWW server side. Therefore, when the user selects one of these spots, a URL address including this position information is transmitted to the WWW server, and a map centered on this longitude / latitude point is sent from the WWW server. And displayed on the display unit 30 of the mobile phone 3. The user can select and use the current sightseeing spot from the URL display screen 85, or select and use the spot that is scheduled to be visited or has already been visited from the URL display screen 85. It is.

  In addition, this Example 8 and Example 7 mentioned above can be combined, and it is possible to use properly according to a condition. That is, the URL address of the seventh embodiment may be added at the top of the URL display screen 85.

  Next, the information accessory of this Example is demonstrated using FIG. The accessory main body 7 is a mini-book, and has three pages (an extracted page 71 and two pages 72 that are stored) inside. Each page is stopped by an eyelet 70 at the upper corner close to the back so as to be rotatable. A leather string connector 74 is passed through the hole of the eyelet 70, and the accessory body 7 is connected to the mobile phone by the connector 74. The pages 71 and 72 and the cover are made of synthetic resin plates, and two-dimensional code stickers are attached to the front and back of the pages 71 and 72. Also, the front and back covers are hooked by a stop band 73 so that they cannot be opened unintentionally.

  Therefore, the user removes the stop band 73, rotates and pulls out a required page, and photographs the two-dimensional code attached thereto with a camera. When shooting is finished, this page is returned and rotated so that it is placed between the front and back covers and stopped by the band 73. According to the information accessory of this embodiment, there is an effect that a larger number of two-dimensional codes can be carried.

  Next, the information accessory of this Example is demonstrated using the rear view of FIG. The accessory main body 8 is a liquid crystal screen cleaner, which is formed by sandwiching a sponge layer between two sheets and stopping the front and back with a surrounding welded portion 81. 80 is used. A hole 83 is opened in a part of the welded portion 81, and a Matsuba cord connector 84 is passed through the hole 83 and attached to the mobile phone 3 by the connector 84. Further, a part where the dirt removing cloth 80 is not used is provided in a part of the sheet on the back side, and a two-dimensional code is printed thereon. A beautiful pattern is printed on the surface of the accessory body 8.

  Of course, the two-dimensional code may be provided on the front side, but since this side is for viewing, it is preferably attached to the back side and is preferably removed from the portion of the liquid crystal screen to be wiped off. In this embodiment, the portion where the two-dimensional code is printed is picked up and the portion of the dirt removing fabric 80 is rubbed against the liquid crystal screen.

  Next, the information accessory of this embodiment shown in FIG. 21 is that the scratch printing section 9 is formed so as to cover the two-dimensional code 2 on the back surface of the accessory main body section 1 of the first embodiment. Has the greatest features. Scratch-printed products are called “silver strips” and are used for gift cards. When this scratch-printed layer is removed by rubbing with coins or nails, the wrinkles printed thereunder can be seen and the hits can be recognized, and it has game characteristics and gambling. Such scratch printing is performed so as to hide the two-dimensional code 2 attached to the accessory body 1.

  This is to prevent a two-dimensional code from being read before purchasing the information accessory of the present invention, and is provided with game characteristics. After purchase, the user rubs and removes the scratch printing unit 9 with a coin or the like, and reads the two-dimensional code 2 that appears. This feature is very useful when you want to sell information for a fee.

  Next, the information accessory of this embodiment shown in FIG. 22 covers the mount 5 portion that can be seen from the back side of the acrylic base 4 of Embodiment 3 described above, that is, hides the two-dimensional code 50 and the password 51. The laminate seal 90 is affixed to the back surface of the accessory body 4. A peeling guide 91 that is not bonded to the accessory body 4 is provided at the lower left end of the laminate seal 90, and a dummy two-dimensional code 54 is printed on the surface of the laminate seal 90.

  The purpose of adhering the laminate seal 90 is the same as that of the above-described embodiment 11, to prevent the two-dimensional code from being read before purchasing the information accessory, and to provide entertainment such as game play. It is for granting. The laminate seal 90 is firmly attached to the acrylic base 4, but when it is lifted from the peeling guide portion 91, it can be easily peeled off by delamination. As a result, the correct two-dimensional code 2 appearing can be read. Note that the reason why it is correct here is that the surface of the laminate seal 90 is compared with the dummy two-dimensional code 54. That is, the dummy two-dimensional code 54 cannot be read by the camera, is not desired information even if it can be read, or is a note. An adhesive seal can be used instead of the laminate seal.

  What is subject to two-dimensional encoding is not limited to a character string, and can be an image compressed. For example, it is possible to record a tarot card as a fortune telling. What is necessary is just to provide the application which reads and decompress | decompresses and displays this. The two-dimensional code can be stamped on the cloth surface. It is also possible to create a two-dimensional code of the contents desired by the user at this accessory sales place, affix it to the accessory selected by the user, and sell it as a product. By using this, it is possible to provide an accessory with a two-dimensional code of the user's face photograph.
