  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a moving image data distribution system according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the moving image data distribution system includes a server device 1, an image printing device 2, and mobile terminals 4 (4A, 4B). The mobile terminal 4 is a smartphone or a tablet device having a camera or a communication function. The server apparatus 1 stores image data, and transmits the image data and storage location information (for example, URL) where the moving image data can be stored in the server apparatus 1 to the image printing apparatus 2. The image data is, for example, landscape photograph data of tourist attractions.

  When the fee is paid by the user, the image printing apparatus 2 encodes the storage location information received from the server apparatus 1 and generates a two-dimensional code. Then, the image printing apparatus 2 combines the two-dimensional code image and the image received from the server apparatus 1, prints the combined image on photographic paper, and outputs a printed matter 3. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 2, the printed matter 3 on which the landscape image 31 and the two-dimensional code 32 are printed is created.

  The mobile terminals 4A and 4B owned by the user store a program (moving image registration / reproduction application) for registering (uploading) moving image data to the server device 1 and reproducing the moving image data. When the portable terminal 4A executes this program, the camera function of the portable terminal 4A is activated to read the two-dimensional code. When the user captures the two-dimensional code 32 on the printed matter 3 with the camera of the portable terminal 4A, the portable terminal 4A reads the two-dimensional code 32 to acquire storage location information and accesses the server device 1. Then, the mobile terminal 4A registers the moving image data selected by the user in the server device 1 among the moving image data stored in the own terminal.

  After the moving image data is registered, when the user executes the program on the portable terminal 4B and photographs the two-dimensional code 32 on the printed matter 3 with the camera of the portable terminal 4B, the portable terminal 4B reads the two-dimensional code 32 and stores the storage location information. And the server device 1 is accessed. The portable terminal 4B acquires image data from the server device 1 and instructs the user to take an image 31 of the printed matter 3 with the camera of the portable terminal 4B. When the user captures the image 31 with the camera of the mobile terminal 4B, the mobile terminal 4B compares and compares the feature points of the captured image 31 and the image acquired from the server device 1. When the two images match each other as a result of the collation, the mobile terminal 4B acquires the moving image data stored in the area specified by the read storage location information from the server device 1, and reproduces the moving image on the display. A known AR technique is used for moving image reproduction, and the moving image is superimposed and reproduced on the printed matter 3 photographed by the camera of the portable terminal 4B. The mobile terminal 4A and the mobile terminal 4B may be the same terminal or different terminals.

  Thus, in the moving image data distribution system, the image printing apparatus 2 sells the printed matter 3 on which the image 31 and the two-dimensional code 32 are printed. The user who purchased the printed matter 3 reads the two-dimensional code with the portable terminal 4 (4A), accesses the server device 1 and registers / stores the moving image data. Thereafter, the user can read the two-dimensional code 32 with the mobile terminal 4 (4B), access the server device 1, receive / reproduce the registered moving image data, and view the moving image.

  Thereby, for example, the user A can transfer the printed matter 3 to the user B as a photograph with a moving image. The user B can access the server apparatus 1 from the two-dimensional code 32 of the printed matter 3 using the mobile terminal 4 and enjoy the moving image registered by the user A.

For example, when the image data provided from the licensor is registered in the server device 1, the image data transmission unit 11 transmits the image data to the image printing device 2. Further, when the mobile terminal 4 accesses the server device 1 based on the storage location information, the image data transmission unit 11 transmits image data corresponding to the storage location information to the mobile terminal 4.

  The storage location information transmission unit 12 generates storage location information for specifying a location (storage area) where the moving image data can be stored in response to a request from the image printing device 2, and transmits the storage location information to the image printing device 2. The storage location information transmission unit 12 generates different storage location information each time a request is made from the image printing apparatus 2.

  The image printing apparatus 2 requests storage location information from the server apparatus 1 when an image is purchased from a user. The image printing apparatus 2 notifies the server apparatus 1 of information on the image purchased from the user when the storage location information is requested. The storage location information generated by the storage location information transmission unit 12 is associated with the user purchase image information notified from the image printing apparatus 2 and registered in the management information of the database 16.

  The moving image data receiving unit 13 receives moving image data from the mobile terminal 4 that has accessed the server device 1 based on the storage location information, and stores this data in the storage area of the database 16 specified by the storage location information used at the time of access. Save video data.

  When saving the moving image data, the storage location information, the image data, and the moving image data are associated with each other, and the corresponding relationship is registered in the management information of the database 16. That is, image data of an image purchased by the user, storage location information generated in response to a request from the image printing apparatus 2 accompanying purchase of the image data, and moving image data uploaded from the portable terminal 4 using the storage location information are stored. It is associated.

  The moving image data transmission unit 14 transmits moving image data to the mobile terminal 4 in response to a request from the mobile terminal 4. The moving image data transmitted to the mobile terminal 4 corresponds to the storage location information used when the mobile terminal 4 has accessed. The first access from the portable terminal 4 using the storage location information is the uploading of the moving image data described above. Therefore, the server device 1 transmits the moving image data in the second and subsequent accesses from the mobile terminal 4 using the same storage location information.

  The database (storage unit) 16 stores image data, moving image data, and management information. The image data is provided from a licensor, for example. The moving image data is registered by the user using the portable terminal 4. The management information includes correspondence between storage location information, image data, and moving image data.

Includes media.

  The CPU 20 functions as a control unit that controls each unit of the image printing apparatus 2 by executing the control program.

  When the CPU 20 executes the image sales program, a sample image display unit 26, a storage location information acquisition unit 27, a coding processing unit 28, and an image composition unit 29 are realized as shown in FIG. It becomes possible to sell.

  The sample image display unit 26 displays the sample image 50 of the printed matter 3 on the touch panel 21 as shown in FIG. 6 using the image data received from the server device 1. When the user selects a purchase image and pays a fee, the storage location information acquisition unit 27 acquires storage location information from the server device 1.

  The encoding processing unit 28 encodes the storage location information acquired by the storage location information acquisition unit 27 to generate a two-dimensional code image. The image composition unit 29 composes a two-dimensional code image with the purchased image and creates a composite image. The printed image 3 is output by the printer 23 printing the composite image on photographic paper.

  As described above, the server apparatus 1 generates different storage location information for each request from the image printing apparatus 2. Accordingly, different two-dimensional codes 32 are printed on the printed matter 3 created by the image printing apparatus 2.

  The image printing apparatus 2 reads image data from a storage medium in which image data photographed by a digital camera or the like is stored, displays the read image on the touch panel 21, and selects an image and designates a print size and the number of prints from the user. A function of receiving and printing out an image by the printer 23 may be provided. Instead of the touch panel 21, a display unit such as a liquid crystal display that displays sample images and an operation reception unit such as a keyboard and a mouse that receive selection (order) of purchase images may be used.

  FIG. 7 is a block configuration diagram of the mobile terminal 4. The mobile terminal 4 includes a CPU 40, a memory 41, a camera 42, a communication unit 43, and a display (touch panel) 44.

  The memory 41 stores a moving image registration / reproduction application (application program). The memory 41 is a memory of at least one of flash memory type, hard disk type, multimedia card micro type, card type memory (for example, SD or XD memory), RAM, SRAM, ROM, EEPROM, PROM, magnetic memory. Includes media.

  The camera 42 reads storage location information from the two-dimensional code 32 printed on the printed material 3. The communication unit 43 accesses the server device 1 using this storage location information.

  When the CPU 40 executes the video playback application, as shown in FIG. 8, a registration unit 60 and a playback unit 70 are realized, and video data registration to the server device 1 and video acquisition / playback from the server device 1 are performed. You can do it.

  The registration unit 60 includes a moving image selection unit 61 and a data transmission unit 62. The moving image selection unit 61 receives selection of moving image data stored in the memory 41 from the user. The data transmission unit 62 transmits the selected moving image data to the server device 1 via the communication unit 43.

  The reproduction unit 70 includes an image acquisition unit 71, a feature point comparison unit 72, and a moving image reproduction unit 73.

  The image acquisition unit 71 reads the storage location information from the two-dimensional code 32 printed on the printed matter 3 using the camera 42, accesses the server device 1 via the communication unit 43, and is associated with the storage location information. Acquired image data. Further, the image acquisition unit 71 acquires the image 31 on the printed material 3 using the camera 42.

  The feature point comparison unit 72 compares the feature points between the image acquired from the server device 1 and the image 31 of the printed matter 3 captured by the camera 42. When the feature points match, the moving image playback unit 73 receives the moving image data associated with the storage location information from the server device 1. If the feature points do not match, it is displayed on the display 44 that playback is impossible.

  The moving image reproduction unit 73 reproduces the received moving image data by superimposing the received moving image data on the image 31 captured by the camera 42 using a known AR technique. For example, the feature point of the detected image 31 is tracked to estimate the position and orientation of the camera 42, and the camera image and the moving image are aligned.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the flow of processing of image sales and moving image registration / playback according to the present embodiment. Here, an example in which the user A registers a moving image in the server device 1 using the portable terminal 4A and the user B reproduces the moving image using the portable terminal 4B will be described.

  Image data to be sold is provided from the licensor, and this image data is registered in the database 16 (step S101). The server device 1 transmits image data to the image printing device 2 (step S102). The transmission timing of the image data from the server apparatus 1 to the image printing apparatus 2 is arbitrary.

  The transmitted image data is stored in the memory 25 of the image printing apparatus 2. Thereby, the image printing apparatus 2 starts selling the image. The sample image display unit 26 displays the sample image 50 of the printed matter 3 on the touch panel 21 as shown in FIG. 6 using the image data.

  When the user A operates the image printing apparatus 2 to purchase an image and pays a fee (step S103), the storage location information acquisition unit 27 of the image printing apparatus 2 uses the server apparatus 1 to store information on the image purchased by the user. To the server device 1 is requested for storage location information for specifying a location where the video data can be stored (step S104).

  The server device 1 generates storage location information based on the request from the image print device 2 and transmits it to the image print device 2 (step S105). The server device 1 associates the generated storage location information with the user purchase image information notified from the image print device 2 and registers the information in the management information of the database 16.

  When the image printing apparatus 2 acquires the storage location information from the server device 1, the encoding processing unit 28 encodes the storage location information and generates a two-dimensional code image. Then, the image synthesizing unit 29 synthesizes the two-dimensional code image and the image purchased in step S103 to generate a synthesized image (step S106).

  The printer 23 prints this composite image on photographic paper and outputs it (step S107). Thereby, the user A can obtain the printed matter 3 on which the image 31 such as a landscape photograph and the two-dimensional code 32 are printed (step S108).

  When the user A executes the video playback application of the mobile terminal 4 </ b> A, the camera 42 is activated and a two-dimensional code reading instruction is displayed on the display 45. The portable terminal 4A acquires storage location information by photographing the two-dimensional code 32 of the printed matter 3 with the camera 42 (step S109).

  4 A of portable terminals access the server apparatus 1 with acquisition of storage location information. Since the moving image data is not registered in the server device 1 using the storage location information, the registration unit 60 of the mobile terminal 4A starts the moving image data registration process.

  The moving image selection unit 61 accepts selection of moving image data stored in the memory 25 of the mobile terminal 4A from the user A (step S110). The data transmission unit 62 transmits the selected moving image data to the server device 1 using the storage location information (step S111). The server apparatus 1 stores the received moving image data in association with the image data corresponding to the image purchased by the user A in step S103 and the storage location information transmitted from the server apparatus 1 to the image printing apparatus 2 in step S105. To do. Thereafter, the user A transfers the printed material 3 to the user B (step S112).

  When the user B executes the moving image registration / playback application of the mobile terminal 4B, the camera 42 is activated and a two-dimensional code reading instruction is displayed on the display 44. The portable terminal 4B acquires the storage location information by photographing the two-dimensional code 32 of the printed matter 3 with the camera 42 (step S113).

  The portable terminal 4B accesses the server apparatus 1 with the acquisition of the storage location information. Since the moving image data is registered using the storage location information in the server device 1, the reproducing unit 70 of the mobile terminal 4B starts the reproducing processing of the moving image data.

  The image acquisition unit 71 requests the image data corresponding to the storage location information from the server device 1 (step S114). The server device 1 transmits image data corresponding to the storage location information when accessed from the mobile terminal 4B to the mobile terminal 4B (step S115).

  When the portable terminal 4B receives image data from the server device 1, an instruction to read the image 31 is displayed on the display 45. When the image 31 of the printed matter 3 is captured by the camera 42, the feature point comparison unit 72 compares the feature points of the image received from the server device 1 and the image 31 captured by the camera 42 (step S116). If the feature points match, the portable terminal 4B requests the moving image data from the server device 1 (step S117).

  The server device 1 transmits the moving image data corresponding to the storage location information when accessed from the mobile terminal 4B to the mobile terminal 4B (step S118).

  When the mobile terminal 4B receives the moving image data, the moving image reproducing unit 73 reproduces the moving image data by superimposing the moving image data on the image 31 captured by the camera 42 using a known AR technique (step S119).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the printed matter 3 output from the image printing apparatus 2 is captured by the portable terminal 4, the moving image is superimposed on the printed matter 3 and reproduced to the portable terminal 4. Video data can be distributed.

  The moving image data can be registered in the server device 1 by the user himself / herself. Therefore, another user who has been transferred the printed material 3 can enjoy not only images printed on the printed material 3 but also moving images.

  The server device 1 may determine a storage period (for example, two years) of the moving image data, and notify the mobile terminal 4 with an access record that the storage period is about to end when the end of the storage period approaches. . The server device 1 may accept an extension of the storage period and purchase of moving image data from the mobile terminal 4 for a fee. The payment of the fee is performed by online payment using a credit card, for example. When the user selects the extension of the storage period, the server device 1 extends the storage period of the registration data. When the user selects to purchase moving image data, the server device 1 transmits the moving image data to the mobile terminal 4 and deletes the moving image data from the database 16. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the moving image data that is no longer reproduced from being registered in the server device 1 and to efficiently use the database 16 of the server device 1.

  When transmitting the storage location information to the image printing apparatus 2, the server apparatus 1 may transmit the two-dimensional code print position information together. The image printing apparatus 2 receives the print position information together with the storage location information from the server apparatus 1 and synthesizes a two-dimensional code image based on the print position information. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the two-dimensional code 32 from interfering with the feature point comparison when performing the feature point comparison of the images (step S116 in FIG. 9).

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the sample image 50 of the printed product 3 is displayed on the touch panel 21, the two-dimensional code in the sample image 50 is preferably a two-dimensional code based on dummy information. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the act of reading the two-dimensional code in the sample image 50 displayed on the touch panel 21 with the portable terminal and registering the moving image data.

  The server device 1 may total the number of printed products 3 sold based on the storage location information generation request from the image printing device 2. Further, the server device 1 may set an upper limit on the number of printed products 3 to be sold and limit the number of sold products. For example, when the number of sold sheets reaches the upper limit, the server apparatus 1 notifies the image printing apparatus 2 that the printed matter 3 has been sold out.

  The server device 1 is installed in information that identifies the mobile terminal 4 that has been accessed for video playback, such as device information such as manufacturer, setting language, model name, IP address zone, and network segment, and the mobile terminal 4. The identification information and the like of the video playback application may be acquired to limit the number of video playback terminals. The server device 1 counts the number of mobile terminals 4 that have been accessed using the same storage location information, and after the count value reaches the upper limit, a new access that has been accessed using the same storage location information. Do not send moving image data to portable terminals. Thereby, duplication and distribution of the printed matter 3 can be suppressed.

  In the image printing apparatus 2, when a plurality of printed materials 3 having the same image are purchased, different moving image data is registered in each printed material 3, and the same moving image data is registered in a plurality of printed materials 3. Thus, the unit price of the printed material 3 may be changed.

  When different moving image data is registered in each printed matter 3, the image printing apparatus 2 requests the server apparatus 1 for the same number of storage location information as the number of purchases. Then, the image printing apparatus 2 outputs a plurality of printed products 3 having different two-dimensional codes 32. The user can read the two-dimensional code 32 of each printed matter 3 and register different moving image data.

  On the other hand, when the same moving image data is registered in a plurality of printed materials 3, the image printing device 2 requests the storage device 1 for one storage location information. Then, the image printing apparatus 2 outputs a plurality of printed products 3 having the same two-dimensional code 32. The user uses the mobile terminal 4 to read any one of the two-dimensional codes 32 of the plurality of printed materials 3 and register the moving image data. Thereafter, a common moving image can be reproduced by reading the two-dimensional codes 32 of the plurality of printed materials 3 with the portable terminal 4. In this case, the server device 1 may increase the number of moving image reproduction terminals according to the number of purchased printed materials 3.

  The moving image data distribution system may include a plurality of image printing apparatuses 2.

[Second Embodiment]
In the first embodiment, the example in which the server apparatus 1 and the image printing apparatus 2 are connected so as to communicate with each other has been described. However, the image printing apparatus 2 may not include a communication unit with the server apparatus 1. .

  In the present embodiment, the image data is written into the memory 25 of the image printing apparatus 2 by connecting a storage medium storing the image data to the image printing apparatus 2 or the like.

  When the CPU 20 of the image printing apparatus 2 executes the image sales program, a sample image display unit 26, a storage location information generation unit 27A, a coding processing unit 28, and an image composition unit 29 are realized as shown in FIG. The printed material 3 can be sold. The storage location information generation unit 27A generates storage location information by adding an additional digit number to a number (hereinafter referred to as an original number) that identifies an area in the server device 1 where video data can be stored. By changing the additional digit number every time an image is purchased, the printed matter 3 sold by the image printing apparatus 2 has a different two-dimensional code 32 even if the image 31 is the same. Due to the internal processing of the server apparatus 1, the moving image data is stored in different areas of the database 16 according to the additional digit number.

  The additional digit number may be a consecutive number or a number determined from the processing time or the like. When the moving image data distribution system includes a plurality of image printing apparatuses 2, the number ID of the image printing apparatus 2 may be included in the additional digit number. As a result, the additional digit number added to the original number is different in each image printing apparatus 2, and the same storage location information can be prevented from being generated.

  As described above, the image printing apparatus 2 generates the storage location information, whereby the management load of the storage location information in the server device 1 can be reduced. In addition, by giving an upper limit to the number of additional digit numbers to be issued, the number of printed products 3 sold can be managed by the image printing apparatus 2.

  The server device 1 registers the storage location information (additional digit number included in the storage location information) when accessed from the mobile terminal 4 and device information for specifying the mobile terminal 4 in the management information, and uses these information By doing so, it is possible to limit the number of mobile terminals that play back moving images.

  The original number used by the image printing apparatus 2 for generating the storage location information is written in the memory 25 by, for example, an operator operating the image printing apparatus 2.

  In the first and second embodiments, when the moving image data is registered in the server device 1, the length of the moving image may be edited so that the data size of the moving image data is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value. In addition, when registering moving image data having a data size larger than a predetermined value, an additional fee may be requested.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment as it is, and can be embodied by modifying the constituent elements without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage. In addition, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining a plurality of components disclosed in the embodiment. For example, some components may be deleted from all the components shown in the embodiment. Furthermore, constituent elements over different embodiments may be appropriately combined.
