Description

  The present invention relates to an image processing method and apparatus for playing a game by combining a jigsaw puzzle and a computer, and more particularly to a technique for determining completion of a jigsaw puzzle and performing processing corresponding thereto.

  A conventional jigsaw puzzle is a game in which the goal is to complete a picture by looking at a printed picture of a sample and combining the pieces, and the point when the last piece is combined is the game peak.

In general, there are many puzzles that complete pictures and paintings, but there are also puzzles that allow messages to appear when completed. For example, it was often used to prepare a white 100-piece puzzle or a blank piece of a design, write a message on it, and send it apart. This means that the message can be read only after the opponent is completed, and it takes advantage of the characteristics of the jigsaw puzzle.
However, in this case, it can be said that only the message part is read before the entire puzzle is completed, and the interest in building the puzzle to the end is lost.

On the other hand, a new game combining a jigsaw puzzle and image processing technology has been proposed in accordance with recent progress in image processing technology.
For example, in the technology described in Patent Document 1, in an electronic puzzle providing apparatus including a display device that inputs and displays electronic information generated by photographing a subject as video content information, the video content is displayed on the display device as a jigsaw puzzle piece. The display of the jigsaw puzzle pieces displayed in a distributed manner and the display of the jigsaw pieces displayed in a distributed manner according to the assembly path instructions from the assembly instruction input means described later, and the assembly path instructions of the jigsaw puzzle pieces displayed in a distributed manner are displayed to the operator. Assembly instruction input means for inputting and assembly path guide display means for displaying a guide of the jigsaw piece assembly path according to the progress of assembly of the jigsaw puzzle pieces are provided. As a result, a virtual jigsaw puzzle assembly can be experienced on a computer.

  Moreover, in patent document 2 by this applicant, in the jigsaw puzzle 1 which completes the pattern and the pattern which were described on the surface by combining several pieces punched and cut to the required outline shape, QR across a plurality of pieces on the surface Code (registered trademark) is described, and the QR code displays address information of a predetermined WEB page that can be opened with a mobile phone. By accessing the QR code with a mobile phone, A technique is disclosed that allows users to enjoy the display of images and text displayed on the display screen of a telephone.

"Ravensburger Augmented Reality Puzzles" manufactured by Ravensburger shown in Non-Patent Document 1 is a product that takes a picture of a jigsaw puzzle with a smartphone and displays an image defined as an application that operates on the smartphone.
In this product, a technology called AR (Augmented Reality) is applied. For example, if you take a picture of a puzzle that represents the landscape of Paris with a smartphone, an image related to Paris is displayed. Displays an image related to the image.

  The AR technology is described in many documents such as Non-Patent Documents 2 and 3, and the technique is well known.

  The techniques of Patent Document 2 and Non-Patent Document 1 are common in that both the image and the barcode after completion of the jigsaw puzzle can be photographed and an additional image can be enjoyed. This can be said to further extend the peak of game play in the conventional jigsaw puzzle from the completion of the puzzle.

  However, in the invention of Patent Document 2, since it is a QR barcode that is photographed and meaningless to humans, the enjoyment of completing the symbols that are characteristic of jigsaw puzzles and the Internet that can be accessed according to the QR code are available. There is a problem that information is separated.

  In addition, in the product of Non-Patent Document 1, since the image related to the symbol can be displayed by photographing the completed symbol of the puzzle, the sense of unity between the two is increasing. However, the pattern to be photographed does not have to be a completed image of a jigsaw puzzle. For example, even if a package or the same photograph is photographed before completion, the same image as when it is completed can be seen. Therefore, this technology cannot be said to be a technology that can enhance the sense of achievement associated with the completion of the jigsaw puzzle or continue to enjoy after completion of the jigsaw puzzle, simply by using the conventional AR technology as a shooting target.

  Furthermore, there is only one type of image displayed with this product, and the same image is required for all users. Therefore, different images cannot be provided depending on the completed user.

  The present invention was created in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and provides results processing such as image display to a user who has actually completed a jigsaw puzzle, thereby enhancing the sense of achievement in assembling the jigsaw puzzle. At the same time, the aim is to provide technology that continues to be fun after completion. At the same time, it provides various results processing depending on the user.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following jigsaw puzzle image processing method and processing apparatus.

  According to the present invention, an imaging step of generating an imaging data by imaging a target symbol that has been assembled in a target range of a jigsaw puzzle by a digital imaging unit, and a completion determination unit of a computer, the imaging data and target symbol data that is recorded in advance And a completion determination step for determining whether or not the target symbol is completed or a degree of completion, and a result processing step for performing predetermined result processing according to the result of the completion determination step. A method for processing a jigsaw puzzle image is provided.

  In the completion determination step, the completion determination unit performs completion determination by comparing the piece cut line shape data provided together with the target symbol data and the piece cut line image in the target range of the jigsaw puzzle. It may be configured.

  In the completion determination step, the completion determination unit may include a process of estimating a size of a target symbol imaged from the imaging data and determining whether the size is the actual size of the jigsaw puzzle.

  In the completion determination step, the completion determination means acquires the printing characteristic or material characteristic of the target symbol imaged from the imaging data, and determines whether any of the characteristics matches the characteristic of the jigsaw puzzle. Processing can also be included.

In the result processing step,
(1) Still image / video / audio / text prepared in advance
(2) Still image / video / audio / text input by user
(3) It may be configured to output at least one of a still image, a moving image, audio, and text associated with the captured date or time.

 In the jigsaw puzzle image processing method, on the user's terminal device, the completed target symbol is imaged and an imaging step is executed, and then the imaging data and the user or the terminal device are identified via a data communication path. And a data transmission step for transmitting information to the server device. The completion determination unit of the server device executes the completion determination step, and the output data determination unit of the server device receives the result processing step. According to the identification information, an output data determining step for determining output data relating to at least one of a still image / moving image / sound / text output in the server device or the terminal device, and an output means of the server device are determined Output data is output, or the output means of the terminal device sends the determined output data from the server device to the data. Or received via the data communication path output, the may be execution process constitutes the result output step of performing at least one.

An imaging step for generating image data by imaging a target symbol for which the assembly of the target range of the jigsaw puzzle has been completed by the digital imaging means, and when the imaging data satisfies a matching condition with the target symbol prepared in advance, the user or the terminal device of the user A result processing step for performing a predetermined result processing in association with identification information, wherein in the result processing step,
(1) Still image / video / audio / text prepared in advance;
(2) Still image / video / audio / text input by the user;
(3) Still image / movie / sound / text associated with the date or time when the image was taken;
It is also possible to provide a processing method of a jigsaw puzzle image that outputs at least one of the above.

  The present invention relates to a digital imaging means for imaging a target symbol for which the assembly of the target range of the jigsaw puzzle has been completed, and whether or not the target symbol is completed by comparing the imaging data with the pre-recorded target symbol data, or It is also possible to provide a jigsaw puzzle image processing apparatus, comprising: a computer completion determination means for determining a degree of completion; and a result processing means for performing predetermined result processing in accordance with a result of the completion determination means. it can.

It is also possible to provide only the user's terminal device used in the above jigsaw puzzle image processing method. You may provide only with the server apparatus used with the processing method of said jigsaw puzzle image.
Furthermore, it can also be provided as a program for causing a computer to execute the above-described completion determination step and result processing step.

  According to the present invention, the completion determination means of the computer determines whether or not the target symbol is completed by comparing the captured image data with the target symbol data recorded in advance, or the degree of completion. Only a completed user can perform predetermined result processing. Thereby, the game nature at the time of completion of a jigsaw puzzle and completion can be improved.

  Further, by transmitting the identification information of the user or the terminal device from the user terminal device to the server device, it is possible to provide an image or the like according to the user.

  In particular, in the method of presenting a message to the user when completed, since the message cannot be read at all unless the jigsaw puzzle is completed, it is possible to feel a sense of accomplishment of the puzzle and a pleasure to read the message. This eliminates the problem that the conventional analog method can read a message as it approaches completion.

It is a block diagram of the image processing apparatus of the jigsaw puzzle which concerns on this invention. It is a flowchart explaining the image processing method concerning the present invention concerning the present invention. It is a figure explaining the image and cut line of a jigsaw puzzle. It is a block diagram which shows another Example using the network of this invention. It is explanatory drawing of a "Jigazo puzzle". It is explanatory drawing of the example of an output which is an example of a result process.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples shown in the drawings. The embodiment is not limited to the following.
FIG. 1 is a minimum configuration diagram of an image processing apparatus (1) for a jigsaw puzzle according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the image processing method according to the present invention.

The target symbol (11) in which the assembly of the target range of the jigsaw puzzle is completed is imaged by a known digital camera (10) which is a digital imaging means. (Imaging step: S1)
The imaging data (230) is temporarily or even recorded in the storage means (23) constituted by a memory, a hard disk or the like.

Here, the most basic range as the target range is the entire completed image of the jigsaw puzzle. That is, when all the jigsaw puzzles are assembled, the digital camera (10) is used to photograph.
However, not only the entire surface of the jigsaw puzzle but also a part of the target range may be defined, and an image when the part is completed may be used as the target symbol (11). For example, in a jigsaw puzzle including various characters, each character portion may be a target symbol. Also, in a large jigsaw puzzle, if the whole image is too small, it may be divided into a plurality of parts and each divided part may be used as a target symbol.

Next, the completion determination unit (21) realized by a program operating on the CPU (20) completes the target symbol by comparing the imaging data (230) with the target symbol data (231) recorded in advance. Whether completeness or completeness is determined. (Completion judging step: S2)
As a method for determining whether or not the target symbol is completed, various known image comparison methods can be used. In the present invention, unlike the technique disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1, it is necessary to determine whether or not the target symbol of the jigsaw puzzle is completed. Therefore, it is confirmed by detailed image comparison that all pieces are correctly arranged. It is desirable to judge.

The degree of completion indicating the degree of completion is not limited to alternative selection of whether or not it is complete. The degree of completion is an indicator that, for example, assembly of 50%, 80%, and 100% of all pieces of the target symbol has been completed.
In addition, the completion determination step will be described later.

The result processing unit (22) performs predetermined result processing according to the result of the completion determination step (S2). (S3: Result processing step)
The main point of the present invention is that the determination of the completion of the jigsaw puzzle is performed by image processing. Therefore, the result processing performed as a result is arbitrary.

Result processing includes outputting a still image, a moving image, sound, text, and the like. For example, a still image or a moving image can be output from the display monitor (24) over the target symbol. In addition, the following output may be performed.
(1) Still image / video / audio / text prepared in advance
(2) Still image / video / audio / text input by user
(3) Still image / movie / sound / text associated with the date or time when the image was taken

The target symbol data (231) is based on the image data of the entire jigsaw puzzle as a rule, but can be set to an appropriate range in accordance with the target range. If the puzzle has a large size, such as 1000 pieces, for example, it may not be possible to recognize the missing piece in the entire image. In that case, the entire screen is divided and photographed in the upper right, lower right, upper left, lower left, etc., and the image divided into four is registered in the target symbol data (231) in advance, so that the entire image is obtained. The result processing may be performed when it is recognized that a piece is buried in all of the four divided sizes.
By recognizing the jigsaw puzzle for each piece arrangement in this way, it is possible to prevent an AR image from being seen in the package picture before completion by simply hiding the pattern of about one piece in the package picture by design. .

(Configuration using cut line for completion determination)
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an image and a cut line of a jigsaw puzzle. In the completion determination step (S2), the completion determination unit (21) includes piece cut line shape data included in the storage means (23) together with the target symbol data (231), and a piece cut line image in the target range of the jigsaw puzzle. Contrast.
As is well known, the completed image of the jigsaw puzzle (30) is captured in a state where the cut line of the piece overlaps the completed image. (Fig. 3 (a))

Since the cut line looks like a line drawing that looks mainly black, it is extracted from the completed image (FIG. 3B) and compared with the cut line shape data. For this comparison, a conventionally known method can be appropriately used.
If there is no cut line in a part of the imaging data (230) by this comparison, the assembly of the piece of that part is considered to be incomplete, and the result is reflected in the completion determination.

  Previously, the result processing was performed even if a photograph of the same pattern as the puzzle (for example, Fig. 3 (c)) was taken, but the result was only when the jigsaw puzzle was actually completed by this method using the cut line. Processing can be performed.

  It is also possible to use only the presence or absence of the cut line for determination without performing the comparison of the shape of the cut line. The presence or absence of a cut line is determined by extracting a cut line that is a line segment of a specific color from the imaging data as shown in FIG. 3A by a known image processing method. If there is a cut line, it is reflected in the completion determination as an image of the actual jigsaw puzzle.

(Configuration that uses the change in the design of the edge of the cut line for completion determination)
Furthermore, a cut line and a change in the design at the periphery of the cut line can also be used for completion determination.
Usually, the cut line of the puzzle is as shown in FIG. When a landscape or a masterpiece is printed there, there is almost no color change along the cut line. On the other hand, when the piece is missing, the ground can be seen in the shape of the piece, so that the color tone and the pattern vary along the shape of the piece. By arranging the measurement points according to the piece arrangement, it is possible to recognize the deviation and determine the piece shortage.

(Configuration that uses the size of the target symbol for completion determination)
In the completion determination step (S2), the completion determination unit (21) can estimate the size of the target symbol imaged from the imaging data (230) and determine whether the size is the actual size of the jigsaw puzzle. .

Specifically, there is a method for calculating the size of a subject from information on focal length and shooting magnification recorded as shooting data when shooting with a digital camera. Also, Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2012-2791) proposes a method for calculating an arbitrary dimension of a subject.
In addition, SIS Software's “My MEASURES” (Internet URL: http://www.sis.si/my-measures/), an iPhone (registered trademark) and Android (registered trademark) app, A method of calculating the size of a subject from information on height and elevation is used.

  As a simpler method, a marker that cannot be identified unless it is about the actual size can be placed on a jigsaw puzzle so that the completion determination is not performed for a small-sized copy. In particular, in the AR technology, a marker used for alignment of the AR image is used, and can be easily implemented by adjusting the size of the marker.

  By using these known techniques, the size of the target symbol can be estimated from the imaging data (230), so it is determined whether the subject is a package or a print, and is usually a larger object than that. can do. By not performing completion determination in cases other than the actual product, it is possible to solve the problem that it is determined that the package is completed even if a package or a completed photograph is copied as in the conventional case.

(Configuration using printing characteristics and material characteristics for completion judgment)
In the completion determination step (S2), the completion determination unit (21) acquires the printing characteristic or material characteristic of the target symbol imaged from the imaging data (230), and any of the characteristics matches the characteristic of the jigsaw puzzle. It can also be determined whether or not.

Specifically, the surface of the jigsaw puzzle is given a specific printing / coating to give it reflection characteristics that differ from those of normal paper. Determine.
The structure which recognizes the said pattern by giving printing and coating in pattern shape may be sufficient.
Instead of printing / coating, a material having specific reflection characteristics may be selected for the jigsaw puzzle itself.
(Another embodiment)

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which the present invention is implemented using a user terminal device (40) and a server device (45) via the Internet (44).
The completed target symbol (11) is imaged by the digital camera (41) which is the imaging means of the user terminal device (40). A transmission unit (420) realized by a dedicated application operating on the CPU (42) of the terminal device (40) transmits imaging data from a known network adapter provided in the terminal device via the Internet (44). (Data transmission step)

  At that time, identification information (43) of the user or the terminal device is transmitted toward the server device (45). As the identification information (43), information such as a user name and user ID set by the user himself / herself, an ID defined in the application, a telephone number, and an individual identification number (uid) of a mobile phone can be arbitrarily used.

Further, for example, in the case where the target symbol (11) is a unique completed puzzle created by “Jigazo Puzzle” (registered trademark) (FIG. 5) manufactured by Tenyo Co., Ltd., it is discriminating in the imaging data because it itself has distinctiveness. The present embodiment can also be configured as including information (43).
As shown in the figure, “Jigazo Puzzle” sends information such as the photographer's e-mail address in advance, so by simply sending imaging data by linking the Jigazo Puzzle server device and the server device of the present invention, The photographer's information can be acquired by the server device (45).

The completion determination unit (450) compares the captured image data received by the receiving unit (453) of the server device (45) with the target symbol data (460) stored in the storage unit (46) in the same manner as described above. Step (S2) is performed, and the process proceeds to result processing step (S3).
The result processing step of this embodiment is further divided into the following steps.

(S31) Output in which output data determining means of the server device determines output data relating to at least one of a still image, moving image, audio, and text to be output from the server device or the terminal device according to the received identification information Data determination process,
(S32) Whether the output means of the server apparatus outputs the determined output data, or whether the output means of the terminal apparatus receives and outputs the determined output data from the server apparatus via the data communication path The result output process which performs at least one of.

  First, in the output data determination step, the output data determination unit (451) of the server device (45) determines the output data according to the identification information (43). That is, whether or not the jigsaw puzzle is completed from the imaged data is combined with the information of the user who transmitted the imaged data, and the one that matches the condition is selected from the output data provided in the storage means (46). .

  Next, output data is transmitted from the transmission unit (454) to the terminal device (40), and the reception unit (421) of the terminal device receives the output data. Thereafter, output data is displayed on a screen (not shown) by the display processing unit (422), or sound is reproduced from a speaker by a known sound processing unit.

The output data is any one of still images, moving images, sounds, texts, or a combination thereof, and an example of selection is shown in FIG.
When the jigsaw puzzle is completed and the captured image (60) and identification information are transmitted as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the output data determination unit (451) displays text (610), still image / moving image corresponding to the identification information. (611), voice (612) is selected.
Since these pieces of information can be arbitrarily changed for each identification information, a different output can be performed for each user who completes the jigsaw puzzle.

As an actual usage example, a jigsaw puzzle is given from a friend to a user whose child is born, and a text message, a picture of a child, a video, a laughter, etc. are associated with user identification information in advance on the server device (46). Register. Such data management methods are well known.
When the user completes the jigsaw puzzle, executes the program (app) according to the present invention on the smartphone and images the target symbol (11), the user calls the output data registered by the friend on the server device (45), and the user To the terminal device (40).

  Since the user can not know what kind of output data the friend registered until the puzzle is completed, the fun of completing the jigsaw puzzle and the message etc. can be seen after completion, so the puzzle's playability is Greatly improved. Also, if you finish the completed puzzle as it is, you can view the message repeatedly by taking an image with the app. In this case, even if the server device (45) is accessed every time imaging is performed, the output data acquired once may be stored and called in the terminal device (40).

  In the result output step, the output data may be output from the terminal device (40) or the server device (45). When outputting from the server device (45), the result is output directly from the display device or speaker from the result output unit (452).

In the configuration in which the output data to be output varies according to the user and the terminal device as in this different embodiment, it is not always necessary to strictly determine whether or not the jigsaw puzzle has been completed and the degree of completion.
That is, a configuration may be adopted in which matching conditions are defined between the imaging data and the target symbol, and when the conditions are satisfied, the output data is output. The matching condition referred to here is a typical example of displaying an AR image when a predetermined marker can be found in certain imaging data in a known AR technique.
The major difference from Non-Patent Document 1 is that the output data varies depending on the user, terminal device, date and time.

Although the present invention has the above-described configuration, various embodiments in the result processing step of the present invention are listed below.
(Service that displays a list of finishers)
Before or after assembling the jigsaw puzzle, the name of the puzzle creator is registered on a dedicated web page on the server device (45). When the completed puzzle is photographed and transmitted by the terminal device (40) and it is confirmed that there is no shortage of pieces on the server device (45), the completion date is automatically displayed together with the name of the creator.
Also, if the user takes a picture before completing the puzzle, depending on the situation, `` 40% completeness ''
--- By giving a variable message such as “Longer”, “Remaining --- Last Spurt!”, The user can confirm that the AR function is working and enjoy itself. .
In this system, it is also possible to place a ranking for the speed to completion after the jigsaw puzzle is released. Combining with the “Jigazo Puzzle” will reveal the completed state at a certain point in time and compete for completion all at once from that time, ensuring fairness at the start.

(Configuration to change output data)
When selecting output data, it may be possible to select a random number of items such as fairy dust and horizontal scrolling text as a moving image along with fireworks.
The output data may be changed according to the date or time of the terminal device (40) or the server device (45). For example, a specific song such as a birthday or Christmas can be output or a message can be output. This makes it possible to play with jigsaw puzzles repeatedly after completion.

  It is also possible to display a crystal ball of fortune-telling on the pattern of the puzzle and superimpose it on the completed crystal ball image with an AR image, and output the result of the fortune-telling according to the user's birthday or the date of the day.

  It is also possible to display information such as “what day is today” by overlaying the calendar image with an AR image on the calendar image.

  The puzzle pattern is a cake without candles, and the number of candles to be superimposed on the AR image is variable depending on the registered birthday. You can synthesize the flickering of the flame of the candle or the scene where the confetti falls, and if it is a terminal such as a smartphone, you can also play a video that blows the flame away by blowing on the microphone.

(Configuration to manage user points)
In the present invention, since the completion record of the puzzle can be acquired for each user, when the puzzle history is accumulated for each user and the number of pieces more than a certain number is formed, a notation such as “puzzle master” appears, or You can actually send the puzzle master certificate by mail. The person who chooses “Register for ranking” can know what position he / she is currently in.

(Configuration to output application button for campaign in output data)
You can encourage participation on the net only for those who have completed the assembly, such as during a campaign. By outputting the participation button including the URL to the application site for the campaign as output data, only the person who completed the puzzle can participate in the campaign.

(Configuration combining GPS)
The puzzle design is a map such as a map of Japan, and photographs are taken in various parts of Japan. When it is uploaded to the dedicated site of the server device (45) together with the position information acquired by GPS, it is possible to display an image of the person near the puzzle by superimposing the AR image on the puzzle later.
