  A content information output system and content information output method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Content information output system]
First, the concept of the content information output system will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the content information output system 10 mainly includes a server 12 and one or a plurality of communication devices connected to the server 12 via a predetermined communication line (for example, a communication network such as the Internet). 14.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the server 12 is a so-called computer system. For example, the server-side overall control means 12A, content direction information giving means 12B, content information editing means 12C, content information storage means 12D, Content information output means 12E.

  The server-side overall control unit 12A controls the overall operation of the server 12 in an integrated manner. The server-side overall control means 12A is composed of, for example, a CPU.

  The content direction information adding unit 12B adds direction information for specifying the direction of the content to the content information related to the predetermined content.

  The predetermined content information includes, for example, all the celestial bodies (including the sun and the moon) at each age (present or past) at each point on the earth (for example, for each city unit) or information on the landscape, the cityscape, and nature (live Including video), but is not limited to these. In particular, the content of the content information is preferably content that is familiar with the direction.

  The content information corresponds to, for example, digital information such as photo data, image data, moving image data, and still image data, but is not limited thereto.

  The predetermined content includes content based on the content information or reflecting the content information. For example, the predetermined content information is composed of information on all celestial bodies (including the sun and moon) or scenery / cityscape / nature in each age (present or past) at each point on the earth (for example, for each city unit). In this case, the content is a content that expresses or produces all the celestial bodies (including the sun and the moon) or landscapes, cityscapes, and natures in each age at each point on the earth (for example, for each city unit).

  The content may be two-dimensionally visible planar content or three-dimensionally visible three-dimensional content. Depending on the content information, the content can be expressed in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional manner.

  The content may be taken or generated by the server 12 or may be taken or generated by another communication device 14. Moreover, the image / video data etc. which were image | photographed with the live cameras installed in various parts of the world may be used.

  The directionality information means information specifying the direction of content, for example, east, west, south, north, etc. in addition to latitude and longitude. The content has an original direction and direction in which the content is located, and this is added to the content information as digital information. The direction of the content is defined based on, for example, an actual position specified by a GPS or a azimuth magnet, or a position on a map.

  For example, information relating to celestial bodies, landscapes, cityscapes, and natures defines latitude, longitude, and directions represented by east, west, south, and north. At this time, the directionality information means these directions.

  Here, as an example of a method for adding direction information to content information, a conventionally known method of tagging position information to information such as a photograph can be employed.

  Specifically, the global positioning system (GPS) geographic metadata (GPS metadata (direction information)) can be added to image data (content information) such as a photograph taken by a device or the like. . By adding this metadata, it is also possible to later identify the place where a specific photograph or the like was taken. An application for adding the metadata is built in the server 12 or the like, and the content direction information adding unit 12B is operated by the application to add the metadata to the content information.

  Specifically, position information data such as images (GPS metadata or the like) is acquired. For example, the latitude and longitude of the place where the image was taken are input (acquired). Next, an image / video or the like in which position information data is embedded is acquired. The image / video is, for example, an image / video such as a constellation or a landscape. Next, the position information data is embedded in the image / video data. Then, the image / video is stored in the file system with the position information data embedded in the image / video data.

  For example, the method described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-272164 can be used as a method for adding directionality information to content information. In addition, a conventional technique can be used as a technique for adding position information (information specifying direction and direction) to data.

  When the direction information is given to the content information, the direction information may be automatically given by the content direction information giving unit 12B of the server 12 when the content information is created, or the operator gives the content direction information. It may be a mode in which the means 12B is operated to give it later. In addition, the timing which provides direction information to content information is not specifically limited.

  Further, the content direction information giving means 12B is built in a communication device different from the server 12, and the content direction information is given to the content information in the other communication device, and the content information with the direction information is added to the server. The configuration may be such that the data is output to 12 and stored.

  The content information to which the direction information is added becomes content information with direction information and is stored in the content information storage unit 12D.

  For example, the content direction information providing unit 12B is configured by a CPU.

  The content information storage unit 12D stores the content information to which the direction information is added together with the content information as content information with direction information. The content information or the content information with direction information is updated as needed.

  The content information storage unit 12D is configured by, for example, a ROM or a RAM.

  The content information editing unit 12C inserts (adds or deletes) specific information into the content information or the content information with direction information. As technical means for inserting the specific information, since digital information editing techniques have been known, those conventional techniques can be used.

  The specific information corresponds to, for example, digital information for expressing characters such as messages, drawings, characters, and the like. The specific information may be generated by the server 12 or may be generated by a communication device or the like that can access the server 12. The specific information is stored in, for example, the content information storage unit 12D.

  When specific information is inserted into content information or content information with direction information, specific information (characters, drawings, characters, etc.) is indicated in the content.

  The specific information can be deleted from the content information or the content information with direction information, and can be edited.

  The content information editing unit 12C is constituted by, for example, a CPU.

  The content information output unit 12E outputs the content information with direction information to which the specific information is added as necessary to each communication device 14. The content information output unit 12E outputs the content information with direction information to each communication device 14 based on a request from each communication device 14 or at a predetermined timing set in advance.

  Note that the content information output unit 12E is constituted by a CPU, for example.

  The communication device 14 is configured by, for example, a mobile or fixed type terminal device. The communication device 14 may have a configuration in which a so-called projector and a terminal device are integrally formed, or may be a device in which the projector and the terminal device are separately configured.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the communication device 14 includes, for example, a terminal-side overall control unit 14A, a direction detection unit 14B, a content information direction adjustment unit 14C, a content information projection unit 14D, a terminal-side storage unit 14E, have.

  The terminal-side overall control unit 14A controls the overall operation of the communication device 14 in an integrated manner. The terminal-side overall control means 14A is composed of, for example, a CPU.

  The direction detection unit 14B includes, for example, a GPS unit or a direction magnet, and can detect an actual direction (direction). Since the direction detection unit 14B can specify the position of the communication device 14, it also functions as a position detection unit.

  The content information direction adjusting unit 14C uses the detection result of the direction detecting unit 14B to adjust so that the direction of the content information with direction information matches the actual direction.

  Here, “the direction of the content information with direction information matches the actual direction” means, for example, that content information with direction information is projected onto the display unit 16 by the content information projection unit 14D. Adjustment for display so that the original direction (azimuth) matches the actual direction (azimuth), specifically, adjustment of the direction of the content information with directionality information itself or the projection side of the content information projection means 14D Means adjustment.

  The content information with direction information before the direction adjustment or the content information with direction information before the direction adjustment is stored in the terminal-side storage unit 14E.

  Note that the content information direction adjusting means 14C is constituted by a CPU, for example, and will be described in detail later. Further, the terminal-side storage unit 14E is configured by, for example, a ROM or a RAM.

  The content information projection unit 14D projects the content of the content information with direction information onto the display unit 16 so that the content information can be displayed in a state where the content direction matches the actual direction.

  As the content information projection unit 14D, for example, a conventional projector function or an image projection unit described in JP-A-2005-117609 can be employed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the content information projection unit 14D is configured using a beam light source 14D1, an optical scanner 14D2, and a drive control unit 14D3 for driving them.

  As the beam light source 14D1, an LD (semiconductor laser), an LED (light emitting diode), or the like can be used. The intensity of the beam light emitted from the beam light source 14D1 is controlled by the drive control unit 14D3 based on the control data sent from the terminal side overall control means 14A.

  The optical scanner 14D2 is an optical device that projects the beam light emitted from the beam light source 14D1 onto the projection surface of the display unit 16 while scanning two-dimensionally. The scanning of the beam light by the optical scanner 14D2 is driven and controlled by the drive control unit 14D3 in the same manner as the beam light source 14D1.

  As the optical scanner 14D2, for example, a small galvanometer mirror capable of high-speed scanning can be used. Further, the drive control unit 14D3 has an image memory for storing content information with directionality information (for example, image data), and content information with directionality information (for example, image data) of the projection target set and registered in advance. Or the content information (for example, image data) with directionality information of the projection target sent together with the control data from the terminal-side overall control means 14A is stored. The beam light source 14D1 and the optical scanner 14D2 are driven and controlled based on content information with directionality information (for example, image data) stored in the image memory.

  If a beam light source 14D1 capable of emitting a plurality of types of light beams (for example, three primary color light beams) having different wavelengths is used and each light beam is simultaneously scanned and projected, a color image is displayed on the projection surface of the display means 16. Can be projected.

  Further, as the beam light source 14D1, a light source composed of a one-dimensional array element in which light emission points whose intensity can be controlled independently of each other is arranged in a line can be used. In this case, the line light emitted from the light source may be scanned one-dimensionally by the optical scanner 14D2.

  Further, as the beam light source 14D1, a light source composed of a two-dimensional array element in which light emitting points whose intensity can be controlled independently of each other is two-dimensionally arranged can be used. In this case, instead of the optical scanner 14D2, an enlarged projection optical system that enlarges a two-dimensional image displayed on the light source and projects it on the projection surface of the display means 16 is used.

  The above specific example shows an example of the configuration of the content information projection unit 14D, and is not limited to this. If a stereoscopic display device is employed as the display means 16, a three-dimensional image / video can be displayed. Conventionally known image projection techniques can be used.

  The display means 16 is a three-dimensional display such as a flat (two-dimensional) display composed of a wall surface such as a structure or a private space, a ceiling wall surface or a floor surface, various screens such as a projector, or a spherical display. Target (three-dimensional) device devices and the like are applicable. In particular, the former eliminates the need for a display device, and can easily enjoy images and videos at any time.

  FIG. 5 is a configuration diagram illustrating a state in which the smartphone device 15 is employed as one aspect of the communication device 14 and an image or video is projected from the content information projection unit 14D to the display unit 16. An image or video can be projected from a plurality of content information projection means 14D provided in the smartphone device 15.

  Note that the communication device 14 is not limited to the smartphone device 15, and for example, any wristwatch or mobile terminal can be applied.

  Further, the content information editing means 12C provided in the server 12 may have a configuration provided on the communication device 14 side. In the configuration in which the content information editing unit 12C is provided on the communication device 14 side, specific information is output from an arbitrary communication device to the target communication device by communication between the communication devices.

  For example, it is possible to communicate specific information by providing a specific communication number in the communication device 14 and outputting the specific information to the target communication device 14 or using a tethering function such as mobile. At this time, the communication device 14 that has received the specific information can be notified to the owner of the target communication device 14 by providing a notification function (alarm function) indicating that the specific information has been received. And specific information can be added to content information using the content information editing means provided in the communication apparatus 14 side.

  Next, the content information output method of this embodiment will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 6, using the GPS function of the communication device 14, transmission of current live image data or live video data at a predetermined point (for example, point A) that is the position of the communication device 14 to the server 12. Request (content information requesting step (S100)). At this time, it is not limited to the GPS function of the communication device 14, and an arbitrary point may be specified from an address search or a telephone number search of the communication device 14. It is also possible to request image / video data at a position other than the position of the communication device 14.

  Upon receiving the content information request from the communication device 14, the server 12 searches and specifies the content information to be output to the communication device 14 from the content information storage unit 12D based on the content information request. (Content information search / identification step (S110)). Specifically, content information including a constellation or a landscape of a point / era that matches the request from the communication device 14 is searched and specified.

  Here, the position information related to the direction / position (longitude and latitude) detected by the direction detection unit 14B of the communication device 14 may be included in a part of the request signal of the content information output from the communication device 14. In this case, based on the position information of the communication device 14, the server-side overall control means 12A of the server 12 retrieves content information including content such as constellations / landscapes that can be viewed at the position of the communication device 14. Identified.

  When the content information that matches the request from the communication device 14 is specified, the content information output means 12E of the server 12 outputs the content information to the communication device 14 (content information output step (S120)). Thereby, the communication device 14 acquires the content information requested by itself and stores it in the terminal-side storage unit 14E as appropriate.

  The content information direction adjusting unit 14C of the communication apparatus 14 uses the direction detecting unit 14B to adjust the actual direction and the direction of the content information with direction information (content information direction adjusting step (S130)). ). There are a method of adjusting the content information itself digitally, or a method of adjusting the content information projection means 14D by a projection method.

  Then, the content information projection unit 14D of the communication device 14 projects the content of the content information with direction information on the display unit 16 so that the content can be displayed in a state where the direction of the content matches the actual direction ( Content information projection step (S140). Thereby, for example, a constellation or a landscape is projected on the wall surface, ceiling wall surface, or floor surface of a structure such as a home. In addition, the position and direction of the constellations and landscapes projected on the wall surface, ceiling wall surface, or floor surface of the structure coincide with the positions and directions in which they can actually be seen, thereby enhancing the sense of reality.

  For example, constellations, celestial bodies, and scenery that appear in the north night sky are projected to the north side of the room. Similarly, constellations, celestial bodies and landscapes that are visible in the southern night sky are projected to the south side of the room. As a result, the room is changed to a high-precision planetarium or a real art theater such as a movie theater, and a learning (education) effect with entertainment can be expected.

  In addition, when the position detection unit 14B of the communication device 14 identifies the position of the communication device 14 such as the current direction and the content information that can be confirmed at the position is acquired from the server 12, the position of the communication device 14 Content such as actual constellations and landscapes that can be confirmed in the screen is displayed in the same direction and position as the actual direction and position.

  Next, a method for generating content information will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 7, content information including content as a base is prepared (content information preparation step (S200)).

  The content direction information adding unit 12B of the server 12 adds direction information for specifying the direction of the content to the content information related to the predetermined content (content direction information adding step (S210)).

  And it is memorize | stored in the content direction information storage means 12D as content information with direction information.

  Here, the content direction information providing means may be built in the communication device 14 side. In this case, the content information is generated on the communication device 14 side. Then, the direction information-added content information with the adjusted directionality is transmitted from the communication device 14 to the server 12 or the like.

  When there is an edit request for specific information that can be displayed together with the content from the server 12 or the communication device 14 (S220: YES), the content information editing unit 12C inserts (adds) the specific information into the content information with direction information. (Or delete) (content information editing step (S230)).

  Then, the content information with direction information after insertion of the specific information is stored in the content direction information storage means 12D (content information storage step (S240)).

  Here, the content information editing unit 12C may be built in each communication device 14, and in this case, after the specific information is inserted in each communication device 14 other than the server 12, the direction after the specific information is inserted. The content information with sex information is stored in the terminal-side storage unit 14E of the communication device 14.

  When there is no editing request for specific information that can be displayed together with content from the server 12 or the communication device 14 (S220: NO), the content information with directionality information is stored in the content information storage unit 12D without the specific information being inserted. (Content information storage step (S240)).

  The content information with direction information with or without specific information stored in the content information storage unit 12D at S240 in FIG. 7 is output to the communication device 14 that requested it at S140 in FIG. . Thereafter, as described above, the optimal content is displayed on the wall of the structure from the communication device 14.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the current direction / position (for example, point A) of the communication device 14 is specified by using the direction detection function, the address input function, or the like of the communication device 14. Video / images that can be confirmed in the direction and position (for example, around the point A) can be projected in the room. For this reason, celestial information in the past, present, and future of all points (around) on the earth can be observed in the private space. In addition, regardless of the position of the communication device 14, it is possible to acquire and view images that cannot be viewed in Japan from the server 12.

  In this way, for example, when you want to watch the meteor shower live, you can also watch live images of solar and lunar eclipses that cannot be seen in Japan.

  In addition, by acquiring the content information of each age from the server 12, for example, the celestial image when set 20 years ago or the like can be projected and the time can be remembered.

  The content information output system and content information output method of the present embodiment can be used not only at each home but also as a learning material or in public facilities such as stations and hospitals, weddings, day service facilities, funerals, etc. Can be useful for each application.

  In addition, by projecting a celestial image to be observed at an arbitrary date and time in a room, it is possible to observe the celestial object indoors without being influenced by the external weather. Even in a detached house or an apartment house, it is possible to observe images such as constellations projected on the ceiling wall without worrying about the existence of the upper floor.

  Furthermore, the content is not limited to constellations and landscapes, and any content that can be projected can be adopted.

  In addition, since the said embodiment is one Embodiment of this invention, naturally this invention is not limited to the content of the said embodiment.
