Description

The present invention relates to an information providing system using a two-dimensional code that can provide various types of information via, for example, a two-dimensional code (QR code) attached to a business card.

Currently, business cards of business partners, business partners, etc. are managed in a database by using a personal computer for each employee, creating a database of business locations, departments, addresses, telephone numbers, etc. written on the business cards. It is common to do.

As a method for creating this database, a method of directly inputting the description data of each business card using a keyboard, or a system for reading characters with a light using a scanner and converting them into character codes (commonly referred to as an OCR system) is used. Yes.

In addition, two-dimensional codes called QR codes are widely used as new information input means. The two-dimensional code has the data amount several times that of the one-dimensional code by having information in two horizontal and vertical directions, whereas the conventional one-dimensional code has information in only one horizontal direction. This is a code that can be read, and a two-dimensional code is read and encoded as a plane by a handset such as a mobile phone having a code reader function.

Therefore, a system (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-154774) for providing this QR code on a business card has been developed. In this system, first, the character information to be encoded is information on any name company such as name, reading, romaji, etc., address of company, home, etc., company name, title, phone number, e-mail address, etc. By reading the information input by expanding and generating a two-dimensional code with a slave unit provided with a code reader function, the data is quickly read and the data is output. Compared to this, a method for managing customers by inputting character information on a business card more easily and accurately was considered.

In addition, conventionally, the code symbol of the business card information is encoded, or the code symbol of the two-dimensional code in which the advertisement information is encoded is formed on a printed business card or attached to a sheet body on which an advertisement is written. Although it has been used, there is a drawback that the print sticker is peeled off, and a printing apparatus that directly prints on a sheet such as a business card has been proposed (for example, JP-A-2007-260964).

Problems to be solved by the invention

However, business card management using the above QR code is simply management of information such as work place on the business card, and after a certain period of time has passed since the business card was received, Because there is a lot of information that becomes obsolete due to the movement of employees, the movement of offices, etc., it is necessary to re-enter the management at regular intervals, which is not sufficient as a method for managing customers in a database.

In addition, when meeting with a person who has not met for a long time, if there is a change in the position of the person, or doing business negotiations with a person who can not easily remember the face, the response at the reception of the workplace may not be carried smoothly, In some cases, business negotiations were hindered.

In addition, the conventional business card using the above-described two-dimensional code is an encoding of information centered on the matters described on the business card, its purpose of use is limited, and the information content is limited. .

Furthermore, there are many cases where it is difficult to obtain the latest information of the person who received the business card, and there is a fear that the information in the database cannot be updated smoothly.

In addition, when attaching a two-dimensional code to a sheet of business card or the like, there is a risk of peeling as described above when using a seal sticker, and when printing directly on a sheet of business card or the like, it is costly to create, In the case of a business card, when the contents are changed, it is necessary to change the two-dimensional code itself.

Further, when a two-dimensional code is printed on a sheet such as a business card by printing, the printing position is specified, and the layout must always be considered before creation, which has the disadvantage of taking time.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, makes it easy to manage customers with sheet bodies such as business cards, can always input the latest information, and can easily attach a two-dimensional code to a sheet body such as business cards. It is an object to provide an information providing system using a code.

Means for solving the problem

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the first means for solving the above-described problem is, as described in claim 1, an address for accessing a predetermined site and / or a two-dimensional for reading predetermined information. An information providing system using a two-dimensional code is characterized in that the desired information is provided by using a two-dimensional code by forming a code in a stamp shape on a sheet such as a business card.

The second means for solving the problem is that, as described in claim 2, 2 is provided in a blank portion of a sheet body such as a business card in which information such as name, address, affiliation, and telephone number is described. A two-dimensional code is read by a handset such as a mobile phone having a code reader function with a three-dimensional code, and access to a predetermined site is performed. An information providing system using a two-dimensional code is characterized in that it is provided through a predetermined site, and the predetermined site updates new primary information and secondary information as other matters in a timely manner.

Further, as described in claim 3, the third means for solving the problem is that in the blank portion of the sheet body such as a business card in which information such as name, address, affiliation, and telephone number is described. It is characterized by selecting the access to a predetermined site or encoding the primary information of a sheet body such as a business card by reading the two-dimensional code with a handset such as a mobile phone having a code reader function with a three-dimensional code attached An information providing system using the two-dimensional code according to claim 2.

Effect of the invention

The present invention is an information providing system using a two-dimensional code, and an operation used for a sheet body such as a business card will be described below.

First, add the information on the address to access a predetermined site, and / or by forming a two-dimensional code that encodes the predetermined information into a blank, and stamping it on the blank area of a sheet such as a business card. prepare.

In this state, in the case of a business card, by distributing this business card during business negotiations, etc., information such as the affiliation indicated on the business card is displayed to the other party as in normal business card exchange. In the case of envelopes, advertisements and other information are displayed to the other party by distributing them to a third party. .

Next, the other party who receives the business card reads the 2D code as a surface by a handset such as a mobile phone having a code reader function, and is directly accessed to a predetermined site via the address encoded in the 2D code. As a result, information on the other party on the site can be obtained.

In addition, by reading the two-dimensional code as a surface by a handset such as a mobile phone having a code reader function, the predetermined information encoded in the two-dimensional code is read and directly input to a database such as a personal computer to manage customers. It can be performed.

Also, the other party who received the business card can view other information that cannot be displayed on the business card via the predetermined site, which can be used for understanding the other party.

In addition, for example, a two-dimensional code of a leaflet or envelope as a sheet distributed to a third party is read as a surface by a handset such as a mobile phone having a code reader function, so that an address encoded in the two-dimensional code is obtained. Thus, a predetermined site is directly accessed, and a more detailed advertisement display and company outline can be displayed on the site and transmitted to a third party.

And the person who handed the business card can always provide new information to the person who handed the business card by updating the predetermined site in a timely manner and inputting new information and a close-up video, etc. Can conduct sales activities.

In addition, by selecting a code that allows access to a predetermined site by reading a two-dimensional code stamped on a sheet body such as a business card, and encoding primary information on a business card or a sheet body, for example, a database is created and the customer When managing, you can select the encoding of the primary information of a sheet such as a business card, take out the information directly from the two-dimensional code, enter and register it in the database, and manage the customer. A code that allows you to access a given site by reading a two-dimensional code when inputting secondary information such as items added to the contents of a database (items not listed on a business card or other sheet) or latest information And access the specified site directly to retrieve information such as business card membership on the site, enter and register it in the database, and manage the customer It can be carried out.

The invention's effect

As described above, the information providing system using the two-dimensional code of the present invention can obtain an advantage that new information can be provided through a sheet body such as a business card, which has not been conventionally available, and management when creating a database Can be done smoothly.

In addition, since the latest information can always be obtained via a business card or other sheet, it is easy to manage the information, and even when meeting a partner for a long time in a business talk etc., the latest information of the other party can be obtained. Since it can be obtained in advance through the sheet body, useless labor can be saved.

The operation can be performed smoothly and easily by reading the two-dimensional code.

In addition, a person who passes a sheet of business card or the like can always present the latest information to a partner who has passed the sheet of business card or the like by accessing the predetermined site and changing to the latest information every predetermined period. it can.

Further, since the two-dimensional code is formed in a checkered shape, it is possible to attach the two-dimensional code only by stamping, and it is easy to handle and can be attached to any sheet body.

In addition, by accessing a predetermined site by reading a two-dimensional code, various uses of one two-dimensional code are possible only by changing the site, and there is an advantage of forming a letter.

In addition, the attachment of the two-dimensional code is not expensive, and there is an advantage that is not available in terms of cost.
