Description

  In this specification, “pattern data of an arbitrary pattern” is a figure that is distinguished from the currently used font and generates a character excellent in aesthetics of the present invention. In addition to drawings and illustrations, it includes its own motifs, etc., technologies that are categorized as creatures, figures that represent various types of electronics, transportation methods represented by railways, automobiles, airplanes, etc. Politics, administration, economy, education, history, welfare, occupation, peace, war military, medical-related, etc. expressed as other social phenomena, such as figures representing the relationship between materials and various information, communications, resources, nuclear power, etc. Figures, etc., that are classified into art and culture, language, food, religion, performing arts, life, entertainment, literature, music, art, stage, art, movie, anime, Arts, games, media, television, radio, books, customs, lore, yearly events, graphics representing relationships such as horoscopes, and so on. Computers, Internet, technology, electronics, architecture, information, Figures representing relationships such as communication, resources, nuclear power, etc., which are naturally classified, such as figures representing relationships between matter, energy, space, earth, environment, weather, disaster, ocean, continent, island, celestial bodies, etc. Say.

  In this specification, “an arbitrary pattern of patterns” refers to one to several patterns selected to generate a character excellent in aesthetics of the present invention.

  In this specification, “data of any kind of character” is any kind of character that is currently used, in detail, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi (Indian), English, Spanish, Bengali, Portuguese, Russian Japanese, German, French, Hangul, etc. expressed in a single line, with these characters highlighted, shaded, side points, with ruby, character enclosure, various decorations Includes characters and colored characters.

  In this specification, “arbitrary various characters” refers to one to several characters selected to generate characters excellent in aesthetics of the present invention.

  In this specification, “characters with excellent aesthetics” refer to characters with excellent aesthetics according to the present invention, which are generated by superimposing various arbitrary characters on the pattern of the above-mentioned arbitrary pattern.

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for generating characters with excellent aesthetics using an electronic device.

  For example, in a recent television broadcast, the title at the beginning of a program and the telop / flip that gives an effect during the program use an unusually gorgeous design that attracts attention.

  In addition to the above-mentioned television broadcasts, this is done in all characters such as contents such as websites used by groups / individuals, magazines, newspapers, advertisements, headlines and titles of signboards, etc. It is a self-evident common perception that you want to use unusual and gorgeous fonts where you want to emphasize each other.

  For example, when creating a TV program called “Special Beetle”, if the title characters aired at the beginning of the program consist of illustrations of beetles, the impact would be on the form. It is inevitable that it is huge and very attractive to viewers.

  In the same way, in the florist, create a logo with flowers and grass in appropriate places on the letters and put it as a signboard, and the name of the name card on your own card with the festival headline as a sacred motif If you create a caricature motif, there is no doubt that it will have a tremendous effect in the original purpose of impressing others in any case.

  Thus, in this type of conventional field, proposals related to so-called pictograms of mobile phones are mainly used. In other words, the invention known from Patent Document 1 is MR Daniel P. of New Jersey, USA. This is a collaborator of Roprestay and MR Andrew Liu Tomkins of Pennsylvania, USA, which automatically converts the words in the received e-mail text into pictograms (icons) so that the e-mail text can be displayed in a compact form. It is.

  Therefore, it includes a shared pictogram database for registering pictograms, an information center for providing a user terminal with a function of using pictograms registered in the shared pictogram database, and between the information center and the user terminals, or a plurality of user terminals. And a user terminal connected via the communication network, the user terminal using an information center using means of the information center and a message using the pictogram A message creating means for creating the message, and a display means for displaying the message created by the message creating means, and the shared pictogram database includes a word meaning the pictogram when interpreting the message It is characterized in that at least the initial pictograph that uses only the initial sound is registered.

  As described above, the present invention creates pictographs of [.] Associated with a certain word, for example, the letters of [Love]. In particular, a mobile phone is used to send and receive e-mails, and a Web generally called a bulletin board. This is a technology for creating a message using a head emoji that uses the initial sound of the word that the emoji means when interpreting the message when writing a desired sentence on the page. Is intuitive and easy to implement, and is different from the background and demands of the present invention.

  This type of device normally analyzes keyboard input by an EEP (front end processor) and calls out symbol data that is standardly installed in the operating device to display an outline symbol or bitmap font on the screen. In the invention, original stroke font data dedicated to pictogram processing is used without calling up the device font, and there is no device for displaying a stroke font from keyboard input on an existing operating device such as Windows or Mac OS.

  Today, exchanging mails on mobile phones and personal computers is the leading tool for transmitting information.

  Email now plays a major role as an important communication tool that transcends the original purpose of simply transmitting information, expresses one's own feelings, and conveys messages to the other party.

  For example, the contents of the email that leads to late reports to the company, apologize shopping lists, reports on the pleasures of going out, and finally confesses of sincere love are closely related to life, It has become indispensable in daily life.

  Therefore, in creating the sentence, it is natural that each individual devise various ideas with the aim of being unique and impactful in order to effectively express his / her feelings.

  Needless to say, the diversification of hardware email creation functions is steadily advancing in response to this trend. As an example, a so-called font (pictogram), which is a method of giving a word meaning or accent by adding an arbitrary symbol related to it before and after a specific word, is used.

  In addition, the so-called deco-mail method that displays arbitrary animation images, flashes, moves, or discolors specific words, gives meaning to the words, and gives accents is also used. ing. However, what is common to them is that there is no deformation of the character itself.

Conventionally, each pictogram has been used only as a means of communication in addition to various advertising media in addition to a means of exhibiting its aesthetics in broadcasting, newspapers, magazines, etc. Use is dominant, and various registered pictograms have been invented. For example, Patent Document 2 has an object to increase the expressiveness of e-mail message content. Text data TxD is input to a mobile phone, and a 3D authoring operation is performed.

  Further, when text data TxD and 3D authoring instruction data are transmitted from the mobile phone to the server, the server generates scenario data which is 3D graphic control information. The text data TxD and scenario data are stored in the server as 3D message information.

  When the mobile phone notifies the mobile phone of access information for 3D message information, the mobile phone accesses the server and downloads the 3D message information and necessary fonts. As a result, 3D character mail is reproduced on the mobile phone.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-228561 allows an acquired captured image to be used as characters in a mobile phone without the assistance of a server. In a cellular phone or the like, at least a part of a photographed image is converted into font data in the same scalable format as a normal default font and registered as a registered character in association with a unique code.

  Registered characters can be entered in addition to normal characters, and when the created text is sent as an e-mail, the character data of the registered characters and the codes associated with the registered characters are registered for the various registered characters included in the text. It is added to the email as character data and sent.

  In addition, when displaying the text of the received e-mail, if the code is not a normal default font code for each code of the text, the registered character data in which the font data associated with the code is added to the registered character It can be taken out from the display and displayed.

  However, all of these methods effectively express their own feelings, and if they are interested in creating unique and impactful emails, even if they use the above method, they are no longer novel. Only mediocre can be created.

  Thus, none of this kind of conventional techniques deforms the character itself as described above. Thus, the various characters of the present invention have their own [meaning] in common, and the characters with excellent aesthetics that are generated by superimposing the patterns of the patterns related to the meanings themselves. Along with the aesthetics of characters, they were able to express the meaning of the characters.

  In addition, since a system font is not used in the present invention, a stroke font to be displayed is recognized as a Bezier curve, and thereafter a device for generating a character with excellent aesthetics that is subjected to graphic synthesis processing with a pattern is provided. Is the main purpose.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, by adding these types of stroke fonts, it is possible to synthesize a wide variety of patterns into various characters, in other words, a dedicated font. The use of the creation program, Mac OS, etc. recognize only outline-type characters such as true-type as device fonts, so it cannot be processed on almost all personal computers at present. It has been made possible.

  Specifically, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for generating a character with excellent aesthetics in which a single line and various patterns are synthesized instantaneously using an electronic device. Another object is that anyone can easily operate this apparatus, and that a pattern of a pattern created by a user / member of this apparatus can be easily input to this apparatus.

  Other purposes are to make it easier to select a desired pattern from the enormous number of patterns entered in the database, and to delete unused pattern patterns from the database. The above-mentioned pattern data of the various patterns is a variety of images of the real thing in the natural world, various drawings and illustrations, and a variety of motifs. To provide a device for generating characters with excellent aesthetics in a wide range of usage fields, including patterns that are memorized, including those of all ages, as well as those of all ages and their hobbies. It is.

  The language for generating characters with excellent aesthetics according to the present invention is not limited to Japanese and English, but is to provide a device that can be applied to terms of any country, etc. The character body requires a dedicated output means. First, it can be applied to a general-purpose device, and it is to provide a device that gives great interest to the viewer by displaying the creation process on a monitor sequentially by dynamic means.

  The present invention can respond to the need for creating personalized, visualized, and impactful emails that can effectively express one's feelings, and fundamentally overturns the concept of character decoration in emails. .

  That is, at the time of creating a text in an email, the character itself is deformed by synthesizing the input character with an arbitrary pattern.

  As a result, gorgeous characters with excellent aesthetics can be created, and personalized, visualized, high-impact emails that can effectively express one's feelings can be easily created.

  In general, the features of the present invention are: means for selecting an arbitrary pattern from a recorded pattern database of various patterns; and means for superimposing data of arbitrary various characters composed of a single line on the selected pattern. It consists of

  And means for processing the selected pattern of the arbitrary design into arbitrary various characters, and generating and outputting a desired design character.

  Specifically, a feature of the present invention is that means for selecting an arbitrary pattern from a recorded pattern database of various patterns, and overlaying data of any various characters composed of a single line on the selected pattern. And means for processing the selected pattern of the selected picture into any of various characters, and generating and outputting a desired picture character.

  Other features of the present invention include an original host server for registering a user of a character with excellent aesthetics and its members, paying a price, etc., and a main server for a picture storing various data of the various picture patterns And a user terminal and a member terminal having a function capable of inputting the pattern of the pattern produced by the user and the member into the main server of the pattern.

Another feature of the present invention is that the mobile main body of the mobile phone receives the data of the various pattern patterns and the data of an arbitrary character composed of a single line and records the data on a recording medium. A means for selecting one or several characters from the data and displaying them on the monitor; a means for selecting an arbitrary pattern from the pattern data database of the various patterns and displaying it on the monitor; Character data Overlaid with the selected pattern pattern on the mobile body, and overlaid on the selected pattern pattern for the various selected character patterns on the mobile body, and referring to the pattern pattern motif. To develop a character body with excellent aesthetics and record the character body with excellent aesthetics, A communication system that can be stored in the server, is to become a system for delivering excellent character body made aesthetics.

  Another feature of the present invention is that the main server of the above pattern has an external generator application of various pattern data, and the pattern of patterns created by the user / member etc. can be used for various patterns of the main server. The pattern data is input using the Internet, etc., and the pattern data is converted by applying a pattern to the pattern using a generator application via a stroke pattern, etc., and the processed image is returned to the main server for use. Distribution to a terminal device such as a PC of the user / member by the access of the user / member.

  The user / member is a creator who inputs pattern data of various patterns to the main server at the same time as the user.

  Another feature of the present invention is that an arbitrary pattern of patterns input to the pattern database is given a code according to a certain rule such as classification of the field, and an image or the like is output by this code. It is. And a means for selecting an arbitrary pattern from a recorded database of various patterns, and a means for superimposing data of arbitrary various characters consisting of a single line on the selected pattern. And a means for processing an arbitrary pattern of characters into arbitrary various characters, and generating and outputting a desired pattern character.

  Another feature of the present invention is that the pattern data of an arbitrary pattern input to the pattern database is classified and registered step by step for each pattern data of the pattern, and an arbitrary pattern is registered based on the pattern data. When searching, it is registered so that a plurality of initial sounds can be searched from the beginning of the word meaning the pattern or from the beginning.

  Another feature of the present invention is that the pattern data of an arbitrary pattern input to the pattern database is a pattern pattern data that is no longer used in addition to the registration of a newly created pattern pattern. It is equipped with database maintenance means that can be deleted from or modified.

  Another feature of the present invention is that, among the pattern patterns registered in the pattern pattern database, for example, a paid pattern pattern that is shared only by a specific user / member group such as a copyright holder. For example, free pattern patterns for groups are registered so that each user / member group can selectively use only each pattern database.

  In addition, the present invention is characterized in that the character body output means having excellent aesthetics described above can be used in various printers, portable devices other than facsimiles, desktop or mobile computer devices, mobile phones, PHS, PDAs, etc. This is applicable to devices capable of outputting various characters such as stationary user / member terminals.

  Another feature of the present invention is that stroke font data dedicated to pattern data processing of the various patterns is used as the pattern data of the various patterns.

  Another feature of the present invention is a means for selecting the pattern of the above-mentioned arbitrary design and superimposing the data of any of various characters, so that a part of the design can be arranged at a desired position of the characters. It is that.

  Another feature of the present invention is that the character body having excellent aesthetics described above has an arbitrary pattern of continuous and / or non-continuous patterns.

  Another feature of the present invention is that the character body having excellent aesthetics described above has an arbitrary pattern of all or some of various arbitrary characters.

  Another feature of the present invention is that the above-described character body public server having excellent aesthetics, a character server user server having excellent aesthetics, and a billing settlement server. The public server is connected to the user server and billing settlement It is possible to send and record the history of use of the text body and user / member information with excellent aesthetics of the public server and / or user's server to the server, and excellent aesthetics used by the user / member. It was to make a payment for the characters.

  In addition, it is possible to register and record the character body with excellent aesthetics related to the production of the user / member himself / herself on the above user's server, and the billing settlement server is able to register the excellent character produced by the user / member himself / herself. It is also a feature of the present invention that the main body is settled for a fee used by a third party.

  In general, according to the present invention, an arbitrary character is selected and input, a menu screen is called, and an arbitrary symbol is selected from a pattern list of a character body having excellent aesthetics. And the character with the beauty which the both overlapped is completed.

  This makes it possible to create, for example, an impact mail colored with aesthetic characters. As a specific example, suppose that a sentence “Delay 10 minutes. Sorry” is created, and the user wants to emphasize “Sorry”. In that case, after inputting the character “sorry”, the picture pattern menu screen is called and the icon is selected from the list. Then, the character and the design are automatically mixed, and the “sorry” character formed by “tears” is created.

  Accordingly, for example, a mail that expresses one's own emotions effectively and is unique and has an impact can be easily created. Needless to say, this can be used for any mobile, even if it is a text of any content.

  In addition, the character body with excellent aesthetics depicted as another effect of the present invention is an unusual character for attracting attention, such as a title at the beginning of a program in a television broadcast or a telop flip that gives an effect during the program. It is designed to be gorgeous and can be provided, and this is the content of websites etc. used by various organizations and individuals, magazines, newspapers, advertisements, headlines and titles of signs, etc. It is possible to do it in any character, and it has become possible to use a strange and gorgeous font for each point to be emphasized.

  Another effect of the present invention is that users / members of this device can easily input, record and store the pattern of the picture created by themselves in this device. It is devised so that users / members can search for an arbitrary pattern of patterns stored in the database (server) as soon as desired, and this search means searches for multiple initial sounds from the beginning. Because of this, the search can be done quickly and reliably. In addition to this, the pattern of this arbitrary pattern is a so-called cisrus with its superordinate concept, synonym, and subordinate concept, so that the desired pattern of patterns can be easily narrowed down.

  Furthermore, as an effect of the present invention, an arbitrary pattern that has not been searched (has not been used) for a certain period of time can be deleted from the pattern database (server). This pattern is designed so that it can be easily input. For the above pattern, there are cases where this is paid for due to copyrights, etc. With the device that can notify the user, members / members can select the pattern of the pattern with peace of mind, and the above pattern of pattern is intangible, such as a tangible article in every field, and the theme of peace. This motif is also recorded.

  In addition, as an effect of the present invention, a normal character in a currently used language is formed by a combination of a single line or a complex curve of a single line, but since the present invention is based on a single line, the whole world In other words, it can be applied to languages of many countries, and it is possible to use PHS, PDA, etc. in addition to various printers and facsimiles. In addition to being able to obtain a particularly excellent color output screen or hard copy, it can be applied not only to portable, desktop or mobile types, but also to devices capable of outputting various characters such as stationary user / member terminals. Furthermore, since the pattern data processing of various patterns of the present invention uses dedicated stroke font data, the processing can be performed quickly and accurately. As a result, it is possible to watch the process in which the pattern of the pattern and the single line are gradually mixed in the habit and gradually changed to aesthetic characters on a monitor such as a PC. The members were very interested.

  In addition, in the present invention, when selecting a pattern of patterns, for example, when you want to make the letter “H” an aesthetic character, the two upright lines in parallel select a pattern such as a monkey or a bear, respectively. In this case, the horizontal part of the single line is made of a spear pattern, which makes it possible to easily obtain an interesting picture that conveys a spear that a monkey and a bear are weak, not just “H”. It is an interesting image of a forest that stands in the forest, not just "H", by observing a single upright line of "H" as a "tree" and stopping one or more "birds" at each desired location. A pattern can be easily obtained, and for this aesthetic character, an interesting pattern composed of a plurality of flying "airplanes" or the like can be easily obtained.

  In general, the effect of the present invention is related to the contents of the program in which the title characters broadcast at the beginning of the program are composed of beetle illustrations, for example, in the production of the above-mentioned TV program called “Special Beetle”. It was a form, and the impact on viewers was so great that it was able to attract a lot of interest. By using these aesthetic characters, this was used as a signboard or for festival advertising. In the original purpose of making a strong impression on others in any case, such as creating a headline with a shrine motif or creating a name part of a business card with your own caricature motif, it is even greater. The effect can be demonstrated.

  For example, when a text is created in an e-mail, the character itself is deformed by combining the input character with an arbitrary pattern. This makes it easy to create distinctive, visualized, high-impact emails that can create gorgeous characters with excellent aesthetics and can effectively express their feelings.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In order to easily understand the present invention, an example of pattern data (1) of various arbitrary patterns prepared in advance is shown in FIGS. It was shown to. These are pattern patterns (2) of various arbitrary patterns, and are stored in the main server (10) described later.

  The pattern pattern (2) of these various arbitrary patterns includes not only the illustrated ones but also various kinds of plants, which are classified naturally as creatures, including actual images and their various drawings and illustrations, as well as their own motifs. Animals, humans, categorized as technology, computer equipment, Internet and technology, graphics representing various electronics, etc., and traffic, railways, automobiles, various buildings, materials and information, communications, resources, nuclear power, etc. It is classified into art and culture, such as figures representing politics, administration, economy, education, history, welfare, occupation, peace, war military, medical relations, etc. that are represented as social phenomena, such as figures representing relations. , Language, food, religion, entertainment, life, entertainment, literature, music, art, stage, art, movie, animation, sports, games, media, television, radio Books, customs, traditions, annual events, graphics representing relationships such as horoscopes, etc., which are classified into technologies, such as graphics representing relationships between computers, electronics, architecture, information, communications, resources, nuclear power, etc. It is preferable to cover a wide range of fields, such as graphics representing relationships between matter, energy, space, earth, environment, weather, disaster, ocean, continent, island, and celestial body.

  The main server (10) described later stores various character data (3) as illustrated in FIG. 7, and the various characters (4) of this data are stored in Chinese, Indian, Spanish, English, Arabic, French, Japanese, Hangul, etc. are represented by a single line, these characters are emphasized, shaded, side points, rubbed, character enclosure, various decorative characters , Including colored characters.

  Next, in order to understand the present invention, first, representative examples of aesthetic and novel characters made using the apparatus of the present invention and the apparatus will be described. That is, the character body (5) excellent in aesthetics in the present invention is, for example, a Japanese “transformation” character (50) composed of a single line in FIG. 13 followed by a large number of small “bicycle” designs (51). In addition, it is applied to all of the characters (50) of “transformation”.

  FIG. 14 shows a Japanese “character” character (52) composed of a single line, and a large number of “hand” patterns (53) as described above, and all characters (52). However, in this embodiment, the black character (52) that has been crushed is treated with a white "hand pattern" (53) on the folded node. is there.

  In addition, FIG. 15 shows Japanese hiragana “shinji” characters (54) made up of single lines with a plurality of “jewelry” designs (55). It is devised to do. Further, FIG. 16 similarly shows the letters (56) of “Shinji” with large and small shells (59) (60) and sea stars (58).

  In this case, a single-line character is used in a “printed font”, a so-called “gothic font”, or a newspaper. For example, FIGS. 17 and 18 are based on an arbitrary continuous cursive script character (61). FIG. 17 shows an English character (62) consisting of a single line of “ART-NOUVEAUTYPOGRAPHICDESING BY KOHEI MIURA REVOLU-INC” as a wing (65).

  In this case, it is not necessary to draw or select the cursive character in advance, and the English character composed of the single line of the cursive character is drawn in the typeface etc. (63) by a known means provided in the apparatus of the present invention, although it is not described in detail. You may make it instruct | indicate to make this into the graphical cursive character (64).

  Also, FIG. 18 shows the letters A to Z (66) of the typeface input to the PC converted by the PC cursive character conversion means (not shown and described), to which the wheat (67) stem (68) and Considering the position of the ear (69), an aesthetic English letter (70) can be created. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, this aesthetic English character can be further reflected in this completed aesthetic English character by providing a background mount (71) colored in it. It is.

  Next, an apparatus for generating characters with excellent aesthetics according to the present invention will be described. In FIG. 11, (10) is a main server, and the main server (10) has a large number of patterns of arbitrary patterns ( 2) and pattern data (1) of arbitrary various characters consisting of a large number of input various characters (4). As will be described later, means for selecting an arbitrary pattern (2) from the recorded pattern data (1) of the various patterns, and arbitrary various types of single lines in the selected pattern (2). A means for superimposing the character data (3), a means for processing the selected arbitrary pattern (2) into any various characters (4), and generating a desired character body (5) The output means is provided in a terminal (12) of a user / member (6) described later or a host computer provided in the main server (10) (not shown).

  Further, (9) in the figure is provided in the main server (10), and is an original list of the above-mentioned arbitrary pattern (2) and various character data (3). An apparatus is provided for the user / member (6) of the main body (5) who wants to use the apparatus of the present invention and performs registration, payment (7) and (8), etc.

  Next, the operation of the present invention will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 8 to 12. First, means for inputting (20) arbitrary various characters (4) and arbitrary picture patterns (2) to the main server (10) will be described. .

  In FIG. 12, (12) is a terminal of the user / member (6), and the main screen (23) shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the monitor. This field is an initial screen of the input mode. For example, when the selection of various characters (4) is clicked (24) by keyboard input (25), the main server (10) is started at the same time. (See Figure 10)

  Thus, when the main server (10) is activated by the character input of the user / member (6), the main server (10) determines whether or not there is a format converter, a rasterizer, etc., and the main server (10). (10) creates information data based on this service capability and transmits the information data to the user / member (6).

  The user / member (6) receiving this information data extracts the service capability included in the information data, records it in the server status recording unit corresponding to the character server of the transmission source, and then enters a character request waiting state. Transition. Next, when such a character request occurs, the main server (10) transmits character request data to the character user / member (6).

  Character user / member (6) When this character request data is received, the character data corresponding to the requested character is extracted, subjected to the required format conversion and rasterization, and then the character data is sent to the character server broker. Output.

  Further, when the character user / member (6) receives the character data transmitted from the character server, the character user / member (6) outputs the character data again to the requesting user / member (6). As a result, when the character data is received, the character data is output to a display processing unit and used as a character display character.

  However, as an actual problem, it is difficult for a character user / member (6) individual to have such a large-capacity main server (10), and in reality, a server in an information center that has been commercialized is used.

  Therefore, an example of the system will be described. In FIGS. 19 and 20, (100) is an aesthetic character providing center that provides such aesthetic characters. In the center (100), as described above, arbitrary picture pattern data (1) and data of arbitrary various characters (3) are accumulated and recorded.

  Usually, a local area network (LAN) (102) and a printer (18) outside the workstation (WS) (101) are prepared. The WS (101) receives aesthetic character request information from the user / member (6) or provides an input / output device (103) for providing the request, an analysis device (104) for grasping the request information, and a control device. (105) and a selection device (106).

  Thus, as shown in the pictogram processing flowchart of FIG. 10, the main server (10) attaches a classification (code), which will be described later, to the input character and analyzes it into a thesaurus (26). If the stored arbitrary characters (4) are called (27) on the main screen (23) and the stroke is displayed (28), and if the result of determination (29) is NO (30), the input character If there is a correction, the character correction (31) is performed by inputting the character with the keyboard (25).

  At this time, in the main server (10), a large number of arbitrary pattern patterns (2) are classified and coded in advance in the image and motif of the pattern and other industrial fields, and input as arbitrary pattern pattern data (1). ing. Therefore, when the result of the determination (29) is YES (32), the user / member (6) selects an arbitrary picture pattern (2) desired by the user / member (6) and performs logic (33) to thereby perform the main server (10). In this, the arbitrary picture pattern (2) is combined (34) with the arbitrary character (4), and the result is displayed on the preview screen (35), and the image processing portion (21) is operated. Will be done.

  At this time, on the screen (23) of the terminal (12) operated by the user / member (6), the operation process is displayed in a sequential manner, and intermittently if possible, while the characters (4 ) And the pattern (2) are completed and it is interesting to perform an operation that combines them.

  In other words, if the user / member (6) feels that the pattern is so-called interesting during the transition of the merger, the user / member (6) makes a still image in that state and displays it on the screen or makes a hard copy. Is obtained.

  Thus, the synthesized aesthetic pattern body is determined (36), and if the result is not satisfactory for the user / member (6) and is NO (37), the pattern pattern (2) is determined. In the re-selection (38), the picture selection (33) is returned to, and this operation is continued until the user / member (6) is satisfied. If the result is satisfactory and YES (38), the final decision (40) is clicked and accumulated, the composition process (41) is completed, and the output part (22) is monitored by the user / member (6). It is displayed (42), and delivered to the user or the like as it is or output in hard copy.

  However, arbitrary various characters (3) requested by the user / member (6) are often handled by a fixed amount of a quantity sentence. For this reason, once the character (3) of the user / member (6) is acquired, an imbalance occurs between the case where the operating rate of the main server (10) is high and the case where the main server (10) is not high, and other users / members (6) Can be annoying.

  Therefore, it is important to take measures such as providing a sub-front server for controlling the characters (3) collected in the main server (10).

  Such a main server (10) may be combined with a so-called cursive script of Mincho or Gothic because of limitations on the hardware and software of the characters (4), but often cannot be equipped. For this reason, the main server (10) of the embodiment of the present invention determines the contents of the service that can be implemented by this device with respect to the input character (4) information made by the user / member (6). A device for notifying the user / member (6) of the determination content is incorporated.

  Also, the original picture pattern (2) produced by the user / member (6) or any other various characters (4) is registered in the original list (3) of the main server (10) ( 15) have a program that can be stored, and users / members etc. of this device can easily input and store even the pattern of the picture that he / she has created on this device and take it out when necessary It has become. Furthermore, in this case, other people can output the pattern of the pattern that they have created, and the price can be free for others and charged for others.

  The user / member (6) is a creator who inputs data (1) of various pattern patterns (2) to the main server (10) at the same time as the user / member (6). By making 6) a member of this device construction, the user / member (6) could be greatly interested. (13) shown in FIG. 12 is a generator application, and from the main server (10) via the stroke conversion (14) device, an arbitrary pattern (2) selected and arbitrary various characters (4 ) Is applied and converted, and the image is returned to the main server (10).

  It is important to use dedicated stroke character data for the processing of the various pattern patterns (2) and the data (1). However, this apparatus can immediately search for a desired pattern by a user / member (6) or the like from an arbitrary pattern (2) recorded in the pattern database of the main server (10). Also, the pattern pattern (2) produced by the user / member (6) or the like is transmitted from the terminal (12) of the user / member (6) itself to various pattern data (1) of the main server (10). ) Can be transmitted (16) using the Internet (16) or the like.

  Accordingly, the user / member (6) distributes (17) the character body (5) requested by the user / member (6) by accessing the main server (10) from his terminal (12). A separate device is provided. As described above, the image displayed on the monitor of the terminal (12) of the user / member (6) or the character with excellent aesthetics printed and drawn by the printer (18) of the terminal (12). The main body, for example, the title at the beginning of a TV broadcast, or the telop flip that gives an effect during the program, is something that is unusually gorgeously designed to attract people's attention. It can be used for all types of characters, such as content on websites used by various organizations and individuals such as traders, magazines, newspapers, advertisements, signboards, etc. It can be said that we can provide fonts and guarantee that it will be a big business.

  The selected pattern (2) of an arbitrary pattern is given a code according to a certain rule such as classification of the field, and an image or the like is output by this code. For classification of the pattern type, it is preferable to use proper nouns only for words that the pattern means. In this case, it is preferable to select a pattern classification, that is, a pattern search means by selecting 50 sounds in the case of Japanese as the first letter or kashira of the proper noun. If this is called a word picture, one picture has the meaning of one word.

Also, in this example, a combination of two patterns, such as a combination of two patterns, is a word with meanings such as “tiger and bamboo”. It is important to devise so that each sound can be classified and used.
Furthermore, the word pattern generally remains in the range of words that can be read directly and uniquely from the pattern, whereas the pattern (2) means that the meaning of the pattern is the range of the pattern, such as a psychedelic pattern. There are cases where the meaning can be inferred just by looking at it, but in many cases it is important to create a classification of what is understood that the meaning cannot be inferred by looking at it.

  And the meaning is understood only in the group in which specific communication is intended, or only between specific individuals. The pattern (2) is preferably composed of Macintosh Postscript (trademark) or Windows True Type (trademark) so that it can be used as the design of the present invention. And it is ranked higher by the thesaurus of the pattern. Also, the pattern data (1) for the group pattern is provided as necessary. Of the large number of patterns registered in the shared pattern data, the pattern used only in a specific group is transferred as a set as it is, and the main server ( 10) is registered and recorded.

  Since the registered picture set is used as a common language in a specific group, it is preferable that the same picture set cannot be used in other groups. For example, in order to use a specific picture set, an identification number (ID) or a password (password) may be attached. Thus, in this embodiment, the search means can search with a plurality of initial initial sounds, so that the search operation can be performed quickly and reliably. In addition to this, the pattern of this arbitrary pattern is a so-called cisrus with its superordinate concept, synonym, and subordinate concept, so that the desired pattern of patterns can be easily narrowed down.

  And this search means can search with a plurality of initial sounds from the beginning, so that the search operation can be performed quickly and reliably. In addition to this, the pattern of this arbitrary pattern is a so-called cisrus with its superordinate concept, synonym, and subordinate concept, so that the desired pattern of patterns can be easily narrowed down.

  Also, any design pattern that has not been searched for (not used) for a certain period of time can be deleted from the pattern database (server). On the contrary, a design pattern that reflects the era is: It is a device that can easily input this.

  Also, in this picture creation / modification step, when creating or modifying a picture set, the user / member (6) uses the utilization means of the center (100) of the terminal (12). The center (100) using means accesses the aesthetic character providing center (100) via the communication network for creation / correction. The providing center (100) for the aesthetic character that has been accessed for creation / correction reads a plurality of candidates for a picture belonging to a desired genre from the shared pictures registered in the shared picture database according to the access contents. The read patterns of the plurality of candidates are displayed on the display means of the terminal (12) by the user / member (6), and the user is prompted to select a pattern to be used from the candidates.

  The user determines a candidate pattern using the input means. A decision signal is transmitted to the user / member (6) from the terminal (12) to the aesthetic character provision center (100), and the decided candidate designs are registered in the group design set database. When the creation / modification is completed, or when neither creation nor modification is performed, the process proceeds to the step, and thereafter, the process proceeds as described above.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case has been described in which a picture is converted into a meaningful word, but the present invention is not limited to Japanese. For example, it can be applied to a foreign language such as English, and can be converted into the initial sound (alphabet) of an English word meaning a picture in this way. Although the pattern has folk characteristics and regional characteristics, it is a global common character, so it can also be applied in foreign countries. In other words, it is possible to communicate with a design that transcends race, and because of the design, it can be a communication tool with a common intention in the world.

  As described above, as an example of a character body excellent in aesthetics drawn in the present invention, an arbitrary pattern (2) is a continuous and / or non-continuous arbitrary pattern (2). Any of the above-mentioned various characters are expressed in Chinese, Indian, Spanish, English, Arabic, French, Japanese, Korean, etc. as a single line, and these characters are highlighted or shaded , Side points, rubbed characters, character enclosures, various decorative characters, and colored characters.

  The character body output means may be various types of printers, non-facsimile portable or desktop or mobile computer devices, mobile phones, PHS, or stationary user / member terminals such as PDA (Personal Digital Assistants). The present invention can be applied to devices capable of outputting various characters, and it is also within the scope of this plan to use stroke character data dedicated to pattern data processing of the various patterns as the pattern data of the various patterns.

  Furthermore, there is a case where the above pattern is paid for due to copyrights, etc., so that the user / member can select the pattern with peace of mind by using a device that can notify the existence consideration. In addition to the tangible items in all fields, the pattern putters recorded intangible motifs such as those on the theme of peace.

  Furthermore, normal characters in currently used languages are formed by a combination of single lines or complex curves of single lines. However, in the present invention, it is an exaggeration to say that the whole world because it is based on single lines. In the present invention, the pattern data processing of various patterns uses character data with excellent stroke aesthetics, so that the processing can be performed quickly and accurately. It is now possible to watch the process of changing the pattern of the pattern and the single line into aesthetic characters in a manner that gradually mixes the strawberry with a monitor such as a PC. The members were very interested.

Although the language characters used in each country are described exclusively, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to symbols, illustrations, and the like using a single line, and is in the technical category of the present invention.
Further, in various character input means, it is not limited to input of a typeface by a PC, but may be input by handwriting with a touch pen.

  FIGS. 6 and 7 are implemented by a mobile phone. In the figure, (201) is a mobile phone main body. Of course, this mobile phone main body (201) includes a control unit (not shown), a CPU 202a such as a microprocessor, and a RAM 202b. , And a program memory 202c for recording a control program executed by the CPU 202a, and controls the entire PD printer 1000 according to the present embodiment in accordance with the control program.

  The pattern data (1) in FIG. 6 and / or the data of various characters (4) as shown in FIG. 7 may be stored in the mobile phone body (201), but in reality, the main server (10 ) Of such recorded data. However, as for the data of various characters (4), a plurality of bitmap data indicating character patterns corresponding to the respective external character codes are stored corresponding to the mail address, the model of the cellular phone or the telephone company. Is essential.

  Thus, the user / member (6) first calls the various characters (4) of FIG. 7 through communication with, for example, the main server (10), and displays Japanese (202), Chinese ( 203), English (204), Korean (205), Russian (206), and Arabic (207), a desired language is clicked.

  This example shows that it can be implemented in any national language. Of course, when implemented in Japan, it is sufficient to display hiragana, katakana, kanji, and alphanumeric characters.

  Here, the user / member (6) selects (clicks) “A” (208) shown in FIG. 3 and stores it. Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the pattern data (1) is called to the monitor of the mobile phone body (201). Then, for example, an apple pattern (209) is selected and superimposed on the above "A" (208).

  However, as shown in FIG. 3, this superposition operation has various patterns selected according to the preference, hobbies and interests of the user / member (6), and the composite character (210) shown in the figure (excellent in aesthetics). The character body (5)) has a structure in which the crest of “A” is an apple stretched, the composite character in (211) is a character in which many apples are arranged, and the composite character in (212) Characters arranged regularly, (213) is composed of small apples in the mountain and one large apple in the horizontal portion, and (214) is composed of “A” on the figured apple. The user / member (6) can freely select with a built-in program.

  Also, FIG. 4 shows a composite character in which the character (215) of “DREAM” is superimposed on the figure (216) of various insects so that the insect is stretched and placed on all of the characters (215) of “DREAM”. (217) [Character body (5) with excellent aesthetics], and FIG. 5 shows “DREAM” by superimposing characters (215) of “DREAM” on various insect figures (216). This shows an example in which a composite character (218) adapted to be placed on all of the characters (215) is created.

  Further, the block diagram shown in FIG. 9 shows a billing system. The public server (300) of the character body (5) excellent in aesthetics and the user server (301) of the character body (5) excellent in aesthetics. And an accounting settlement server (302). Of course, the public server (300) or the like may be the main server (10) according to the capacity.

  Thus, when the predetermined settlement time comes, the operator transmits the usage history of the user / member (6) and the information (303) of the user to the billing settlement server (302). In this billing settlement server (302), the usage fee settlement notice (304) is counted for the user / member (6), and the usage amount (306) is counted and recorded in the user's server (301). Sent to member (6).

  In addition, the user / member (6) creates the pattern (2) and the third party uses the pattern so-called back-payment settlement from the billing settlement server (302). ) Is counted by the user / member (6) [specific member A (308) in the figure] and the usage amount [i.e. upload amount (309)] is counted and recorded in the user's server (301). It is sent to the person / member (6) for payment.

  As described above, the present invention can meet the needs of creating personalized, visualized, and impactful emails that can effectively express one's own feelings. We were able to provide a device to reverse.

  In this embodiment, the language characters used in each country are described exclusively. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to symbols, illustrations, etc. using a single line, and is within the technical scope of the present invention.
