In an information processing terminal 1, having conducted the photographing, a part in which the capture object 2, disposed in the arrangement area 31 in the image, shows up is cut out to obtain the photographic image, information 34, shown in the outer area 32, is read to know a content of processing to be executed for the photographic image, and the processing is executed.

Description

  The present invention relates to a data conversion kit used for the purpose of photographing handwritten memos, notebooks and other various objects to be captured and converting them into digital data.

  Recently, high-performance smartphones and tablet computers equipped with camera modules are becoming widespread. There is an increasing need to use these information processing terminals to photograph handwritten memos and notebooks in which meetings and business contents are recorded, business cards exchanged in business, and the like to be captured and utilized as digital data.

  The applicant has already put on the market paper products such as memo pads, notebooks and loose leaves that can meet such needs, and application software executed on information processing terminals (see the following non-patent document).

  More specifically, a mark field for entering a value in binary notation called “action marker” is provided on the outer edge of the memo pad paper, the middle paper of the notebook, or the loose leaf. The user writes on the memo paper and marks the value in the “action marker” field.

The value of “action marker” indicates how the information processing terminal should process a captured image obtained by capturing an object to be captured such as a written memo paper. For example,
-If the value is 1, save the captured image with specific meta information (tag) in the information processing terminal-If the value is 2, send the captured image to a predetermined destination address in the form of an e-mail • If the value is 3, upload the shot image to a predetermined web server ...
It is an aspect like this.

  The user activates the application software on the information processing terminal, and photographs the capture target in which the value of “action marker” is entered via the camera module. In this case, the information processing terminal reads the value of “action marker” included in the photographed image, and performs processing corresponding to the value. According to this, not only can the acquisition target object be simply converted into digital data, but also the separation of data and the sharing with other users are automatically realized.

  However, if there are many objects to be processed that are converted into data and processed uniformly, the same “action marker” value must be marked on each of them. It was annoying.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the data conversion kit of the present embodiment includes an information processing terminal 1 that captures and captures the capture object 2 and a support 3 that supports the capture object 2 during the capture. To do.

  In the present embodiment, a business card (or small memo paper or the like) 2 is assumed as an object to be captured, and the support 3 has a larger card shape than the business card 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the support 3 includes an arrangement area 31 having a rectangular shape in plan view that matches the general shape and dimensions of the business card 2 that is an object to be captured, and an arrangement area adjacent to the outside of the arrangement area 31. And an external region 32 surrounding the periphery of 31.

  On the boundary between the arrangement area 31 and the external area 32, a mark 33 (in the illustrated example, a broken line indicating the outline of the arrangement area 31) 33 for making the boundary visible to the user is represented by printing or the like. When the business card 2 is photographed using the information processing terminal 1, as shown in FIG. 1, the business card 2 is placed in the arrangement area 31 so that the four sides and corners of the business card 2 are superimposed on the mark 33. Placed on.

  The external area 32 is provided with information 34 that defines the content of processing to be executed by the information processing terminal 1 for a captured image acquired by photographing the business card 2 arranged in the arrangement area 31. In the present embodiment, a mark column 34 for entering a value in binary notation (in the example shown, a value of 3 bits (0 to 8 in decimal notation)) is provided as information defining the content of the processing. The mark field 34 can be filled with an arbitrary value by the user, that is, can be filled by the user's own hand or a sticker piece can be attached, or a predetermined value can be filled in beforehand by printing or the like. It may be.

  In addition, in the external area 32, a reference 35 for correcting the tilt and / or distortion of the image captured by the information processing terminal 1 via the camera module 1i is represented by printing or the like. In the present embodiment, a square 35 having a blank inside is displayed outside the four corners of the arrangement area 31 along the short direction of the arrangement area 31. The mutual positional relationship between the four standards 35, the positional relationship between the respective standards 35 and the outline of the arrangement area 31, and the positional relationship between the respective standards 35 and the mark column 34 are uniquely determined. That is, the two outer methods of the reference 35 that are opposite in the longitudinal direction match the longitudinal dimension of the placement region 31, and the two outer methods of the reference 35 that are opposed in the shorter direction are smaller than the shorter dimension of the placement region 31. It is increased by a predetermined ratio. Furthermore, when the four references 35 are connected by line segments, a rectangle is drawn. In the present embodiment, the arrangement area 31 is contained in a rectangle having four reference points 35 as vertices. However, the arrangement area 31 protrudes from the rectangle (for example, the arrangement area 31 extends in the same direction along the longitudinal direction). The distance may be larger than the distance between two reference lines 35 facing each other. In order to detect and cut out the portion of the placement area 31 (the business card 2 placed in) from the image taken by the information processing terminal 1, these criteria 35 detect the portion of the mark column 34 from the same image. Also referred to to read the value.

  The information processing terminal 1 incorporates a camera module 1i such as a mobile phone terminal, a smartphone, a portable video game machine, a personal computer (including a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a portable information terminal, etc.). Terminal or device. As shown in FIG. 3, the information processing terminal 1 is similar to a general-purpose computer in that a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 1a, a main memory 1b, an auxiliary storage device 1c, an operation input device 1d, an audio codec 1e, a video codec 1f, Hardware resources such as a communication interface 1g, a display 1h, a camera 1i, and the like are provided, and these are controlled by a controller (system controller, I / O controller, etc.) 1j to perform a cooperative operation.

  The auxiliary storage device 1c is a hard disk drive, a flash memory, an optical disk drive, or the like. The operation input device 1d is a touch panel that can be operated with fingers, a pointing device such as a track pad or a mouse, a push button (including a numeric keypad or a cursor key), a keyboard, and the like. The audio codec 1e decodes the encoded audio data and outputs the audio from the speaker, or encodes the audio collected via the microphone.

  The video codec 1f generates a screen to be displayed based on a drawing instruction received from the CPU 1a, and transmits a screen signal to the display 1i. The video codec 1f temporarily stores screen data. The video memory etc. Each of the audio codec 1e and the video codec 1f can be implemented as software instead of hardware.

  The communication interface 1g is a device for performing data communication via an electric communication line such as the Internet, a public telephone network, a mobile phone network, a WAN (Wide Area Network), a LAN (Local Area Network), and the like, and is an NIC (Network Interface). Card), a wireless LAN device, a Bluetooth (registered trademark) device, a wireless device for connecting to a mobile phone network, and the like. Other than these, an interface such as USB (Universal Serial Bus), IEEE 1394, or the like may be employed.

  The camera 1i is a known camera that uses an image sensor such as a CCD (Cahrage Coupled Device) or a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor). The camera 1i may be built in the information processing terminal 1 or may be externally attached to the information processing terminal 1 via an interface such as a USB.

  A program to be executed by the CPU 1a is stored in the auxiliary storage device 1c. When the program is executed, the program is read from the auxiliary storage device 1c into the main memory 1b and decoded by the CPU 1a. In this embodiment, a known OS (Operating System) program and various device driver programs attached thereto are installed in advance to mediate the use of the hardware resources by other programs. As application programs, an e-mail client program, a web browser program, a camera shooting control program, and the like are installed. In addition, necessary programs for configuring the data conversion kit of the present embodiment are installed, and the hardware resources are operated by these programs to obtain the imaging unit 101 and the information processing unit 102 shown in FIG. Demonstrate the function.

  The function of each part will be described. The imaging unit 101 uses the camera module 1 i to photograph the business card 2 arranged in the arrangement area 31 of the support 3 and the external area 32 at a time. An image including both the business card 2 arranged in the arrangement area 31 and the external area 32 is temporarily stored in a required storage area of the main memory 1b or the auxiliary storage device 1c.

  The information processing unit 102 cuts out the portion of the arrangement area 31 of the support 3 from the image captured by the imaging unit 101 and temporarily stored in a required storage area of the main memory 1b or the auxiliary storage device 1c, and then acquires the target object. A captured image of the business card 2 is obtained. At the same time, the information shown in the external area 32, that is, the value entered in the mark column 34 is read to know the contents of the process to be executed on the captured image.

  In obtaining the captured image of the business card 2 and reading the value in the mark column 34, it is necessary to correct the inclination and / or distortion of the image captured by the imaging unit 101. In the image F taken by the user using the information processing terminal 1, the support 3 and the business card 2 that are subjects are the x-axis (horizontal axis) and y-axis (vertical) of the image F, as illustrated in FIG. May tilt with respect to the axis. In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the support 3 and the business card 2 are displayed on the image F because the optical axis of the camera 1 i at the time of shooting is not orthogonal to the support 3 and the business card 2. In some cases, the original rectangular shape may be distorted.

  In order to correct these inclinations and distortions, the information processing terminal 1 detects the four references 35 present on the image F temporarily stored in the main memory 1b or the auxiliary storage device 1c. Then, so that the mutual positional relationship of these standards 35 is correct, that is, the line segments connecting the respective standards 35 are not inclined with respect to the x-axis and y-axis of the image, and the line segments connecting the respective standards 35 are predetermined vertical and horizontal. A so-called four-point correction is performed to draw an image in an affine transformation or projective transformation so as to draw a rectangular shape with a ratio. The details of the process for correcting the tilt and distortion of the image can be the same as those in the existing method. FIG. 7 illustrates the corrected image P.

  After the correction of the image obtained by photographing the support 3 and the business card 2 is completed, the information processing terminal 1 cuts out the portion of the arrangement area 31 having a certain relative positional relationship with respect to each reference 35 from the corrected image. Thereby, the picked-up image of the business card 2 can be obtained. This method of estimating and cutting out the portion of the arrangement region 31 from the position of the reference 35 without detecting the edge or outline of the business card 2 placed on the support 3 is different from a general one in size and shape. This is a robust processing method when the business card 2 (in particular, non-rectangular shape) is photographed and converted into data.

  Further, the information processing terminal 1 detects a portion of the mark column 34 having a certain relative positional relationship with respect to each reference 35 from the corrected image, and reads a value indicated by the mark of the portion. Then, the processing content corresponding to the read value is obtained, and the processing is executed.

The relationship between the value entered in the mark field 34 and the content of the process to be executed on the captured image of the business card 2 is previously set as information (table) or as an instruction described in a program or script. 1 main memory 1b or auxiliary storage device 1c. FIG. 8 illustrates the relationship between the value in the mark column 34 and the processing content. In the present embodiment, as processing contents, designation of meta information to be added to the captured image of the business card 2, designation of a destination address for transmission of the captured image of the business card 2 by e-mail, upload server of the captured image of the business card 2 ( (Not shown) is assumed. In accordance with the example shown in FIG.
If the value in the mark column 34 is 1, meta information (tag for classifying the photographed image) “storage” is attached to the photographed image of the business card 2 and the information processing terminal 1 (the auxiliary storage device 1c) If the value in the mark column 34 is 2, the captured image of the business card 2 is stored in the information processing terminal 1 with the meta information “urgent”, and the captured image is stored in the destination address “hogehoge @ Send to “mail.xxx” in the form of an e-mail. If the value in the mark column 34 is 3, add the meta information “important” to the captured image of the business card 2 and save it in the information processing terminal 1 At the same time, the photographed image is transmitted to the destination address “user@mail.yyy” in the form of an e-mail. In addition, for the external server (which may be a so-called cloud service) specified by the URI “www. If the value in the upload / send mark field 34 is 4, the captured image of the business card 2 is added with meta information of “storage” and “friend” and stored in the information processing terminal 1, and the URI “www. "zzz.jp/yy_user/" is sent to the external server specified in accordance with a predetermined communication protocol.
It is an aspect like this.

  When the captured image of the business card 2 is stored in the auxiliary storage device 1c of the information processing terminal 1, it may be stored in a certain storage destination directory or folder (depending on the file system provided by the OS or application program) (in other words, A mode in which an image obtained by capturing a plurality of business cards 2 is stored in the “business card folder”), and depending on the meta information attached to the captured image or the value of the mark column 34 related to the captured image, A folder may be determined. In the latter case, the storage destination differs depending on the meta information of the photographed image or the value of the mark field 34, and the photographed images of a plurality of business cards 2 are sorted by the meta information or the value of the mark field 34 in the information processing terminal 1. It becomes possible to do.

  When the captured image of the business card 2 is transmitted as an e-mail or uploaded to the server, the meta information attached to the captured image or the value of the mark column 34 related to the captured image is also transmitted together with the captured image. Good.

  When uploading a captured image of the business card 2 to the server, user account information for authenticating access authority, typically a user ID and password may be required. Such user account information is also stored in advance in the main memory 1b or the auxiliary storage device 1c of the information processing terminal 1 as setting information or as an instruction described in a program or script.

  The setting information (including user account information for accessing the server) that associates the value in the mark column 34 with the processing content may be set by the user's own hand. At the time of the setting, the user inputs the contents of the setting information via the operation input device 1d, and the information processing terminal 1 that has received the input stores the information in the main memory 1b or the auxiliary storage device 1c. Become.

  FIG. 9 shows a procedure example of processing executed by the information processing terminal 1 according to the program. The information processing terminal 1 acquires an image obtained by capturing the support 3 and the business card 2 with the camera module 1i (step S1), and then corrects the inclination and / or distortion of the image (step S2). Then, from the corrected image, a portion where the business card 2 is captured is cut out to obtain a photographed image of the business card 2 (step S3), and a portion where the mark column 34 is detected is detected and entered in the mark column 34 Is obtained (step S4). Then, processing corresponding to the value in the mark column 34 is performed on the captured image of the business card 2, for example, addition of meta information, transmission in the form of an e-mail, uploading to a server, etc. (step S5).

  However, the processing after step S2 is not necessarily executed immediately after the photographing step S1 of the business card 2. The image obtained in the shooting step S1 is temporarily stored in the main memory 1b or the auxiliary storage device 1c, and after an elapse of time (especially, an explicit command is given through the operation input device 1d by the user's hand). You may make it start performing the process after step S2 later. Images obtained by photographing a plurality of business cards 2 may be accumulated, and the processing from step S2 on the plurality of images may be collectively performed as batch processing.

  In summary, a user who intends to use the capture object 2 as data captures the capture object 2 together with the support 3 while the support 3 supports the capture object 2. In the information processing terminal 1 that has performed the shooting, the captured image of the capture target object 2 arranged in the layout area 31 in the image is cut out to obtain a captured image of the capture target object 2, and in the external area 32. By reading the represented information 34, the contents of the process to be executed on the captured image are obtained, and the process is executed.

  In this embodiment, the data processing kit includes the information processing terminal 1 that captures and captures the capture target object 2 and the support body 3 that supports the capture target object 2 at the time of capturing the image. 3 is to be executed with respect to a placement area 31 where the capture target object 2 is placed, and a captured image that is adjacent to the outside of the placement area 31 and that the information processing terminal 1 captures and captures the capture target object 2. An external area 32 to which information 34 defining the content of the process is attached, and the information processing terminal 1 includes the capture object 2 arranged in the arrangement area 31 of the support 3 and the external area 32. And an image captured by the image capturing unit 101, and a portion of the arrangement area 31 is cut out to obtain a captured image of the capture target 2 and information represented in the external area 32 34 Become known the contents of processing to be performed on an image constituted of data of a kit that includes an information processing unit 102 for executing the process.

  According to the present embodiment, even if there are a large number of capture objects 2 that are to be converted into data and processed uniformly, the information 34 that defines the subsequent processing for them may be represented on the support 3. The trouble of describing the same information on each of the capture objects 2 is saved. Therefore, when there are a large number of capture objects 2, it is possible to reduce the troublesome preparation for the automatic processing after the capture.

  Specifying the meta information to be added to the captured image of the capture object 2, specifying the destination address for sending the captured image by e-mail, as defining the content of processing in the external region 32 of the support 3 Information 34 that defines at least one of the designation of the upload destination server of the captured image is attached, and the information processing unit 102 of the information processing terminal 1 reads the information 34 represented in the external area 32, The meta information designated by the information 34 is added to the photographed image of the object 2 to be captured, the photographed image is sent as an e-mail to the destination address designated by the information 34, and the server designated by the information 34 The captured image is uploaded, and at least one of the processes is executed. Therefore, the captured image obtained by capturing the capture target object 2 is displayed by the user. You can save and fractionated in accordance with the intention, it is possible to and control the transmission mode and the destination, provide a quality experience.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described in detail above. Hereafter, it enumerates regarding the modification of this invention. First, it goes without saying that the capture object 2 is not limited to a business card. Naturally, it is conceivable that memo paper, handwritten note paper, loose leaf, etc., postcards, letters, memorandums, and the like become the capture object 2. There may be cards 2 used for games and games, and objects 2 to be captured such as lotteries and winning betting tickets.

  The size of the object 2 to be captured also varies from the size of business cards and memo papers to A4 and A3 papers (both are standard paper sizes according to ISO 216). Therefore, the dimension of the support 3 is not limited to the card size as in the above embodiment.

  Subsequently, the support 3 will be described. The mark for indicating the boundary between the placement area 31 and the external area 32 and for placing the capture target 2 on the support 3 is a point or L-shaped ( It may be a sign in the bracket.

  Moreover, you may form an unevenness | corrugation in the support body 3 by embossing etc. FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, a bank (or ridge) 36 protruding toward the surface side of the support 3 is formed at a position in contact with the outer edge of the arrangement region 31, and taken into the bank 36. You may enable it to accommodate the target object 2. FIG. Alternatively, conversely, the arrangement region 31 itself may be a recess that is recessed toward the back side of the support 3 so that the object 2 to be captured can be accommodated in the recess.

  As shown in FIG. 11, slits 37 into which the corners of the object 2 to be taken in can be inserted may be formed in the support 3. Then, the slit 37 can be used as a mark, and the arrangement area 31 in which the capturing object 2 is arranged can be considered.

  The support 3 may be a so-called clear holder, a clear file, or a holder with a pocket. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, if a pocket 38 that accommodates the capture object 2 is provided in the support 3, an arrangement area where the capture object 2 is disposed is located in the pocket 38. 31. The member that forms the pocket 38 and covers the surface side of the object 2 to be taken in is preferably transparent.

  The material of the support 3 is not limited to paper (thick paper, cardboard, etc.). The support 3 may be configured as a sheet or thin plate made of polypropylene or other resin (or plastic), and may be made of wood or cloth.

  When the capture object 2 is a memo paper bound as a memo pad or a middle paper bound as a notebook, the front cover or back cover of the memo pad or notebook may be the support 3 according to the present invention. . In this case, the support 3 has a size larger than that of the memo paper or the middle paper, and a portion projecting outward from the outer edge of the memo paper or the middle paper becomes the external region 32.

  The support 3 is not necessarily used by being placed on a horizontal table such as a table top. At the time of photographing the object 2 to be captured, the support 3 may stand on a stand or the like and stand upright, or may be mounted upright on a wall surface or a whiteboard. .

  The form of the reference referred to for correcting the tilt and / or distortion of the image obtained by photographing the support 3 and the capture object 2 is not limited to the four-point reference 35 as in the above embodiment. A lattice pattern, checkered pattern (check), other patterns, halftone dots, or other patterns may be displayed on the external region 32 of the support 3 to serve as a reference for correcting the image.

  In the support 3, there may be no mark indicating the boundary between the arrangement region 31 and the external region 32. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, when the support 3 has a dark color (particularly black, etc.) that is clearly different from the paper color of the memo paper or the like to be captured 2, the arrangement area 31 and the external area There is no need to clearly display the exact boundary with 32. From the pixel value (color) of each pixel of the image obtained by photographing in the information processing terminal 1 (the information processing unit 102 thereof) that has photographed the support 3 and the capture object 2 arranged on the support 3. This is because the edge, that is, the contour of the capture object 2 can be detected relatively accurately, and only the portion where the capture object 2 is captured can be cut out from the image along the contour.

  Further, if the information processing terminal 1 (the information processing unit 102) can detect the four sides, which are the outlines of the capture object 2, from the image obtained by photographing, the x-axis of the detected image of each edge. In addition, based on the inclination with respect to the y-axis, the inclination and distortion in the image of the support 3 and the capture object 2 that are subjects can be corrected. At this time, the information processing terminal 1 is such that each edge of the capture object 2 detected on the image is not inclined with respect to the x-axis or y-axis of the image, and each edge corresponds to the size of the capture object 2. An arithmetic process for performing affine transformation or projective transformation on the image is performed so as to draw a rectangular shape having a predetermined aspect ratio. That is, even if the reference 35 for correcting the tilt and distortion of the image is not displayed in the external region 32 of the support 3, it is possible to correct the image and cut out the portion where the capture target 2 is reflected. The display of the reference 35 is not essential.

  In the embodiment described above, the mark column 34 is provided in the external region 32 of the support 3 to express information that defines the content of the process to be executed on the captured image of the capture object 2. In addition to this, barcodes, two-dimensional codes (QR codes (registered trademark), etc.), patterns, dot patterns, colors, OCR (Optical Character Recognition) numbers that can be read by the information processing terminal 1, and other character strings are executed. You may attach | subject to the external area | region 32 of the support body 3 as what expresses the information which prescribes | regulates the content of the process which should be performed. For example, when the color of the support 3 is different, the processing executed in the information processing terminal 1 is different.

Various modifications can be considered for the processing to be executed by the information processing terminal 1 determined according to the information 34 attached to the external region 32 of the support 3. For example;
<As processing of captured object 2 to captured image>
Select or change the file format of the captured image (BMP, JPEG, GIF, PDF, PIX, etc.), select or change the resolution, change the number of colors (monochrome (monochrome) binarization, gray scale, etc.), color tone Change, sharpening and other image processing by filters, symbol images such as time stamps (which can be obtained from the time measuring function of the information processing terminal 1) or imprints (symbol images are stored in advance in the main memory 1b of the information processing terminal 1 or auxiliary storage (Stored in the device 1c) is added to or superimposed on the captured image, and the captured image is saved. The information 34 attached to the external area 32 of the support 3 includes an identifier that specifies the file format, resolution, number of colors, color tone change, filter processing, etc. of the captured image to be stored or transmitted, The information processing terminal 1 generates an image having a file format, resolution, and number of colors corresponding to the identifier, and performs color tone correction, filter processing, and other processes on the image as necessary. When specific information (or value) 34 in the external region 32 of the support 3 is attached, a plurality of images related to a plurality of capture objects 2 photographed using the support 3 It is also conceivable to combine the captured images into a single image file, or to combine them into a single PDF or document file containing multiple pages (each captured image becomes each page) < As processing related to the import object 2 itself>
Extraction of part or all of text data by OCR reading on the surface of the object 2 to be captured, characteristic images and patterns (such as company name logo marks) displayed on the surface of the object 2 to be captured Extraction, and further, classification of captured images of the capture object 2 based on the extracted text data, image, or pattern (addition of meta information, selection of a save destination directory, designation of a transmission destination, etc.) processing <capture object As content of meta information to be added to 2 shot images>
Specification of information indicating the photographer, shooting location and other shooting conditions. The information 34 attached to the external region 32 of the support 3 includes an identifier for identifying a photographer, a shooting location, and the like, and the information processing terminal 1 adds meta information corresponding to the identifier to the captured image < As an output process of a captured image of the capture object 2>
Printing, writing to a specific recording medium, and taking a captured image data file with other application software (for example, image retouching software, document management software, PDF editing software, etc. Web application or SaaS (Software as a Service)) Open). The information 34 attached to the external area 32 of the support 3 includes an identifier that designates hardware that outputs a captured image or an application that opens the captured image, and the information processing terminal 1 corresponds to the hardware corresponding to the identifier. For example, the photographed image is output via the wear, or the photographed image is opened by starting an application corresponding to the identifier.

  The information processing terminal 1 may be a dedicated device instead of a general-purpose device such as a smartphone or a personal computer.

  In addition, the specific configuration of each unit, the processing procedure, and the like can be variously modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
