Description

  The present invention relates to, for example, a network connection system using a cord and an electronic device.

  In recent years, most products distributed in the market display bar codes (one-dimensional codes) composed of lines of various thicknesses to indicate product information such as product types and prices. Such a bar code is composed of a thick line, a thin line, a double line, etc., and indicates numeric data in which product information is encoded.

  On the other hand, a network address such as a company Internet homepage address or a URL (Uniform Resource Location) such as an e-mail address may be displayed on a business card for general business purposes.

  Such Internet homepages contain information about the company's publicity, and Internet users interested in the company can read the company's publicity on the Internet homepage and then send an e-mail address when there is an inquiry. Try to contact In addition to business cards, Internet homepage addresses and URLs of specific companies may be displayed in advertisement fields such as magazines and newspapers.

  At this time, in order for a user to connect to the URL displayed on these media, the URL displayed on the media must be typed with the keyboard. Or, if an e-mail address is displayed on these media, a user who wants to send an e-mail to the e-mail address must type all the e-mail addresses.

  However, Internet homepage addresses or e-mail addresses are not composed of one or two characters, but are generally composed of ten to several cross characters. As a result, it is difficult for the user to input the address, and there is a problem that the network address is erroneously input and a predetermined service is not provided.

  As a conventional technique for solving such a problem, information relating to a network (for example, a character on a specific network, a character or a symbol contained in a URL, etc.) is coded using colors and shades according to an already defined code system. An image (color code) is converted and displayed on a predetermined medium, and the user acquires the code image by a PC camera, a digital camera, a scanner, or the like, and the user's computer uses a predetermined code system based on the code system described above. There is one that decodes a network address or URL and receives a service of a connected network based on the decoding information (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

However, in the above prior art, the network address included in the decoding information is predetermined. Therefore, there is a problem in that it is not easy to connect a user's computer to a different network address as needed depending on the above-described prior art.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, for example, a code image displayed on a paper surface, a television screen, a three-dimensional structure, etc. is photographed with a mobile phone (electronic device), and mobile content related to the code image can be easily obtained via a network. We propose a method and electronic equipment that can be connected.

  Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

  Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a diagram illustrating a network connection system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a main part configuration of the electronic apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a network connection system 100 according to the present invention provides a first management server 1, a first service server 2 that provides a network service, a second management server 101, and a network service. And a second service server 102.

  The network connection system 100 also captures an image (image) 4 including the code image 3 and obtains image data of the image 4 via a user (image acquisition device 7) and a network (communication network) 5. An electronic device 6 having first and second management servers 1 and 101 and a user computer 8 that can be connected to the first and second service servers 2 and 102 is provided.

  Image 4 may include code image 3. That is, the image 4 is a three-dimensional image or a planar image (image) including the code image 3.

  The code image (color code) 3 has data cells that are displayed with different colors encoded corresponding to the decoded data associated with the target data.

  The image 4 is displayed on, for example, a paper surface, a television screen, a personal computer monitor, or the like, or represented by a three-dimensional structure.

  For example, the first management server 1 can store the network address information related to the first service server 2 and can further store index information defined for the address information.

  Similarly, the second management server 101 can store, for example, network address information related to the second service server 102 and can further store index information determined regarding the address information.

  Here, the network address indicates the position of the specific equipment in the network environment and is indicated by letters, numbers, special characters, URL, IP (Internet Protocol) address, telephone number or unique identification number of the wired / wireless communication terminal. It is.

  Further, the first management server 1 has a first table 1a in which the aforementioned target data including at least the network address related to the first service server 2 is associated with the decoded data.

  Similarly, the second management server 101 has a second table 101a that associates the aforementioned target data including at least the network address related to the second service server 102 with the decoded data.

  The target data of the first and second tables 1a and 101a can include a name, protocol or document name, service information, etc. as required by the user, in addition to the above-described network addresses.

  When receiving the decoded data from the electronic device 6, the first and second management servers 1 and 101 transmit the target data associated with the decoded data to the electronic device 6 that is the transmission source of the decoded data.

  The first management server 1 replaces the target data including the network address of the first service server 2 with the target data including other network addresses and uses the decoded data, using the first table 1a as necessary. In association therewith, the contents of the first table 1a are changed.

  Similarly, the second management server 101 replaces the target data including the network address of the second service server 102 with target data including another network address using the second table 101a as necessary. The contents of the second table 101a are changed in association with the decoded data.

  That is, the first and second management servers 1 and 101 are not limited to the range in which the target data is defined as in the conventional two-dimensional code, for example, in response to a request from a user or a service provider. The target data related to the decoded data can be changed.

  The first and second service servers 2 and 102 provide, for example, service information, that is, a network service, to the electronic device 6 connected using the target data.

  As the service information, when an Internet service is used, there are services defined by a protocol displayed in the URL such as a web service, a telnet service, an e-mail service, a gopher service, and FTP (File Transfer Protocol). .

  In addition, the user is not only directly connected to a specific service provided in the first and second service servers 2 and 102, such as an online education service or a shopping mall service, but also provided by a specific IP address or URL. Multimedia information composed of text, picture files, audio, stop images, and moving images.

  On the other hand, the service information includes services defined by other general communication devices, for example, telephone and FAX services, in addition to those for network services through the Internet. For example, when a telephone number or a FAX number is included as address information, a service for making a call to the number or sending a FAX is provided to the user.

  Further, as described above, the first and second management servers 1 and 101 can change the target data related to the decoded data according to the request of the user or the service provider. Thus, the first and second management servers 1 and 101 can provide the electronic device 6 with the network address of another service server (not shown) corresponding to the changed target data. The other service server can provide a predetermined network service to the electronic device 6 connected based on the network address.

  The electronic device 6 is, for example, a mobile phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a smart phone, an IMT (International Mobile Telecommunication) -2000 terminal, a personal computer, or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the electronic device 6 includes an image acquisition device 7 that can capture an image 4 and acquire the image 4 as image data, and a computer that can be connected to the network 5 based on the acquired image data. 8.

  The image acquisition device 7 is, for example, a digital camera, a PC camera, a scanner, or the like provided in the mobile phone 6.

  When the electronic device 6 is a mobile phone, the code image 3 acquired from a paper surface, a television screen, a three-dimensional structure arrangement device, which will be described later, and the like through an image acquisition device 7 such as a digital camera provided in the mobile phone. Is stored in a memory, a disk, a buffer, or the like of the computer 8 built in the mobile phone.

  The computer 8 may be provided separately from the electronic device 6.

  The computer 8 stores a program 9 having an image recognition algorithm 9a for recognizing a code image.

  The computer 8 recognizes the data cell by the image recognition algorithm 9a and recognizes the color of the data cell. As a result, the computer 8 can recognize the code image from the image 4 and can decode the decoded data from the recognized color using the program 9.

  Further, the computer 8 relates to the decoded data as a transmission destination of the decoded data in response to an external selection signal input (for example, input by the user operating the operation button of the mobile phone). One of the first and second management servers 1 and 101 for storing the target data to be selected is selected.

  Further, the computer 8 can transmit the decoded data to the selected first management server 1 or the second management server 101 and obtain the target data from the first and second management servers 1 and 101. It can be done. The computer 8 can be connected to the network address included in the target data through the network 5.

  As described above, in the process of recognizing the code image 3 in the computer 8, it is necessary to search for the shape, color (color) and the like of the code image 3. In addition, a process for correcting a distorted image is required.

  For example, the shape and pattern can be detected by using the above-described image recognition algorithm 9a such as boundary detection and thinning algorithm.

  Furthermore, the image recognition algorithm 9a makes it possible to use one of the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) model, HSV (Hueangle, Saturation, Value) model, CMY (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) model, and HLS (Hueangle, Lightness, Saturation) model. Color discrimination is possible using more than one method.

  Thus, the computer 8 recognizes the code image (color code) by the image recognition algorithm 9a.

  Here, an example of a code image (color code) used in the network connection system 100 as described above will be described.

  FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B are diagrams showing the areas of the code image with reference to the role of information represented in the code image (color code).

  As shown in FIG. 3A, the code image includes a data area 10. The data area 10 is formed of at least one data cell encoded such that the color, shading, shape, pattern, or combination thereof is different depending on the content of information.

  The data area 10 is composed of one or more data cells in which characters or the like are encoded in an image, each data cell is composed to represent one character, and one or more data cell sets are included. You may make it comprise so that the above character may be represented. For example, the character “A” may be displayed in one cell made of red, or may be displayed in two cells made of red and green.

  The decoded data stored in the data area 10 includes characters, numbers, symbols, and the like. Further, the decoded data includes a name, an address, a telephone number, a fax number, a network host address, a domain name and an IP address used on the Internet, a URL, a protocol, or a document name as required by the user. You can also.

  The code image may further include an arrangement recognition area 11. For example, the arrangement recognition area 11 is formed so that cells displaying a predetermined color surround the data area 10 in order to recognize the arrangement of the data area 10 in the television screen. In particular, white is selected as the color of the arrangement recognition area 11 in order to improve the distinguishability between the background displayed in color on the television screen and the code image. It should be noted that another color having high discrimination from the background or the like may be selected. The arrangement recognition area 11 preferably has a width of 5 pixels or more in order to improve discrimination.

  Here, the case where the code image is set so as to include the arrangement recognition area 11 in the code image has been described, but a code image not including the arrangement recognition area 11 is set, for example, the code image on the television screen. Of course, a white frame surrounding the code image may be displayed.

  As a result, the arrangement of the data area 10 in the television screen can be recognized in the same manner as the arrangement recognition area 11 is set, and the code image of the data area 10 can be decoded as well. .

  In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 3B, the code image may further include at least one of a parity area 12, a reference area 13, and a control area 14. The arrangement recognition area 11 is formed so as to surround the data area 10, the parity area 12, the reference area 13, and the control area 14 as shown in the figure.

  The parity area 12 is formed of parity cells for checking a recognition error of the cells displayed in the data area 10.

  The reference region 13 provides at least a reference color, a reference shade, a reference shape, a reference pattern, or a combination thereof for determining a color, shading, shape, pattern, or combination thereof of the data cells formed in the data region 10. One reference cell is formed.

  The control area 14 is formed of at least one control cell that represents a command or service that can be provided using the information displayed in the data area 10.

  Hereinafter, an area excluding the data area 10, for example, an area including the arrangement recognition area 11, the parity area 12, the reference area 13, and the control area 14 is referred to as an “auxiliary area”, and a cell included in the auxiliary area is referred to as an auxiliary cell. .

  The parity area 12 is used for recognizing whether a color or shading (or shape and / or pattern) is expressed so as to be suitable for the data cell corresponding to the decoded data. In the parity area 12, parity data is obtained by a code value defined corresponding to the color or shading displayed in the data cell, and the parity cell is formed with the color or shading corresponding to the parity data.

  The reference area 13 sets a reference color (or reference shading, a reference shape or a reference pattern as required) for recognizing the color (or shading, shape or pattern) expressed in the cells of the data area 10 and the auxiliary area. Used for. The cell color displayed in each area is red green blue (RGB) color mode, Hue Saturation value (HSV) color mode, Cyan Magenta Yellow Black (CMYK) color mode, Hue saturation intensity (HSI) color mode, CIE color mode , YIQ or YUV color mode. In addition, even when a code is formed with black and white shading (gray scale), information on each cell can be accurately recognized based on black and white displayed in the reference area 13.

  For example, even one color may be displayed in different colors depending on the monitor (television screen) or printer model, and the same color may be recognized slightly differently depending on the characteristics of the digital camera or scanner. In consideration of such a case, the reference cell of the reference area 13 provides a standard for recognizing the color represented in the data area.

  That is, even if the output device outputs different colors or the image acquisition device 7 such as a digital camera or a scanner inputs different colors, the color of the reference area 13 and the color of the data area 10 are different. Since the color difference is fixed, the color of the cell expressed in the data area 10 can be accurately recognized.

  Since the color represented in the cell of the data area 10 has a color difference relative to the standard color of the reference area 13, it is compared with the standard color of the reference area 13 based on the RGB mode or HSV mode. Ten cell colors are obtained.

  In this way, data cell information can be accurately recognized even if the image acquisition device 7 or the output device (TV, arrangement device described later) changes. When the shape or pattern is input by the image acquisition device 7 such as a digital camera, it may be input in a tilted or distorted state.

  However, the reference shape or the reference pattern is provided by the reference region 13, so that the erroneous input state can be sensed and the shape or the pattern expressed in the data cell can be recognized accurately.

  Further, the control area 14 may include a command or metadata for controlling purpose information of the data area 10. For example, the information displayed in the control area 14 may include various meta information such as the decoding order of the cells formed in the data area 10, the position of the reference cell in the reference area 13, and the position and attribute of the parity area 12. it can.

  Here, an example of a code conversion table for converting decoded data and code image will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of representing 2-bit data in four colors.

  If each cell can have any one of four colors, 2-bit data can be expressed by one color cell. Furthermore, if one character is defined to be displayed in four consecutive cells, eight bits, that is, 256 types of characters can be expressed. On the other hand, if there are four types of shapes that represent the same color but represent a cell (eg small square, large square, small circle, large circle), 2-bit data can be represented. If the interior is filled with four other colors, 256 types (8 bits) of information can be represented.

  A code conversion table for converting various characters (such as alphabets and special characters), numbers, or forms into images may be set. In this code conversion table, for example, one character is mapped to one or two color cells.

  In the encoding method using the code conversion table, various characters are converted into code values, and then a code image is generated with a color (color) assigned to each code value. For example, a code image is generated using eight kinds of colors, and two consecutive cells are used to represent one character or number. Eight code values from “000”, “001”, “010”,... “111” are assigned to the eight colors, and each character is encoded into two colors. For example, the number “3” is assigned to the code value “000011” and is encoded into the color (black) assigned to the code value “000” and the color (cyan) assigned to the code value “011”. An image is formed by two continuous cells. With this code conversion table, after converting various characters and numbers included in the decoded data into code values, the color corresponding to the code values can be expressed in the form of a square matrix composed of combinations of square cells. The code value may be used as it is as decoded data.

  A code image may be generated using a gray scale code. In a gray scale code, a code is formed with black and white luminance instead of the mixing ratio of R, G, and B forming a color. Accordingly, any one of black, white, and gray is set as the reference gray level in the reference area, and the cells in the data area have values that are coated by a gray scale difference with respect to the standard gray level in the reference area.

  If there is no reference area in the code image, the shade of each cell of the code image is calculated, and the cells (cell set) having similar shades are collected and the same code value is assigned to the cells belonging to the same cell set. And recognizes the decoding error using the parity area.

  If a recognition error occurs, the density of each cell is recalculated, or the criterion for forming the cell set is set to a different one to recognize the error. Such a gray scale code image can be applied to a medium printed mainly in black and white such as a newspaper.

  Here, an arrangement device for a three-dimensional structure (for example, a plant (flower)), which is an example of an output device other than the above-described paper and monitor for displaying a code image, will be described.

  FIG. 5A is a diagram illustrating an example of the arrangement device 15 for displaying the code image according to the first embodiment. FIG. 5B is a top view of the placement device 15 shown in FIG. 5A. FIG. 5C is a diagram illustrating a state in which the code image displayed on the placement device 15 illustrated in FIG. 5A is captured by the image acquisition device 7.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, the arrangement device 15 includes an arrangement unit 15a for arranging a flower 16 as a plant as a three-dimensional structure, and the color of the flower 16 arranged in the arrangement unit 15a is the data. It corresponds to the color of the cell. The arrangement | positioning part 15a supports the flower 16 so that the flower 16 may be arrange | positioned at a grid | lattice form (FIG. 5B). And this arrangement | positioning part 15 arrange | positions the flower 16 on upper part.

  For example, the flowers 16 are arranged in the arrangement unit 15a of the arrangement device 15 based on the color pattern registered in a flower shop or the like. One color displayed (recognized) from the flower 16 constitutes one data cell. The color displayed (recognized) by the arrangement of the plurality of flowers 16 becomes a code image which is encoded data.

  As illustrated in FIG. 5C, the image acquisition device 7 captures the arrangement device 15 in a state where the flowers 16 are arranged in the arrangement unit 15 a from a predetermined position where the flowers 16 can be seen. Therefore, the image 4 includes an image taken from a predetermined position where the flower 16 of the arranging device 15a in a state where the flower 16 is arranged on the arranging unit 15a is displayed.

  For example, the image acquisition device 7 captures the flower 16 from above the placement device 15. In this case, the image data of the image 4 acquired by the image acquisition device 7 includes image data of an image taken from above the arrangement unit 15a in a state where the flowers 16 are arranged in the arrangement unit 15a.

  In addition, although the case where the flower was selected as a plant was demonstrated here, this invention is applied also to the structure of plants, such as a branch other than a flower, a trunk, and a fruit.

  Next, the flow of the network connection method of the network connection system 100 shown in FIG. 1 will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a flow of a network connection method for connecting a computer of a mobile phone (electronic device) to a predetermined network address through a network.

  As shown in FIG. 6, first, image data of an image 4 that may include a code image 3 having data cells that are encoded with different colors corresponding to the decoded data associated with the target data including the network address.

  As described above, the image 4 includes an image obtained by photographing the arrangement device 15 in which the color of the flower 16 arranged in the arrangement unit 15a corresponds to the color of the data cell from a predetermined position where the flower 16 can be seen.

  Next, the image recognition algorithm 9a stored in the computer 8 recognizes the data cell and recognizes the code image 3 from the image data of the image 4 acquired by the image acquisition device 7 by recognizing the color of the data cell. (Step S2).

  Next, the computer 8 decodes the decoded data from the color of the recognized data cell (step S3).

  Next, the computer 8 selects a transmission destination of the decoded decoded data from the first and second management servers 1 and 101 that store different target data associated with the decoded decoded data, respectively ( Step S4).

  Here, as described above, the computer 8 selects one of the first and second management servers 1 and 101 as the transmission destination of the decoded decoded data in response to the selection signal input from the outside. .

  Next, the computer 8 transmits the decoded data to the first management server 1 or the second management server 101 selected above (step S5).

  Next, the computer 8 receives the target data associated with the decoded data from the first management server 1 or the second management server 101 selected above (step S6).

  Next, the computer 8 connects to the network address included in the received target data through the network (step S7).

  Then, the first service server 2 or the second service server 102 having the network address provides information to the electronic device 6 connected via the network.

Thus, the first and second management servers 1 and 101 can provide the electronic device 6 with the network address of another service server corresponding to the changed target data. The other service server can provide a predetermined network service to the electronic device 6 connected based on the network address.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the code image 3 has data cells that are encoded with different colors corresponding to the decoded data associated with the target data including the network address has been described. However, the code image 3 may be displayed at least corresponding to the decoded data associated with the target data including the network address. In this case, the image recognition algorithm 9a stored in the computer 8 only needs to recognize the code image 3 from at least the image data of the image 4 acquired by the image acquisition device 7.
