2. Process Flow The process of the image processing system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the present embodiment, a user accesses a Web page that provides this system from the terminal 2 via the Internet 5, and transmits and receives information between the terminal 2 and the server 1.
Prior membership registration prior to the use of this system, login settings such as passwords and IDs, or the necessity of setting are optional.

After the access, the user first inputs an arbitrary alphabet between 2 to 10 characters in the alphabet string information input field 7 (FIG. 8) of the alphabet string information input screen 6 displayed on the terminal 2 and presses the execution key 8. Click (FIG. 7, S101).
In the present embodiment, it is assumed that alphabet string information “MIYOKO” is input (FIG. 8). The alphabet string information is transmitted to the server 1 via the network by the transmission means of the terminal 2 (S102).

The number of input characters is arbitrary, and the number of characters that can be input is not limited to 2 to 10 characters as shown. In addition to the performance and various conditions of the computer system used, the number of characters may be set according to the contents of the provided service.
Further, in the present embodiment, 26 alphabets “a” to “z” are used. However, the image can be used as an image that can remind a person that a part cut out from a landscape has a diagram shape that represents a specific character. In this case, it does not exclude Japanese and other character systems such as kanji, hiragana and katakana, that is, symbols formed using lines and dots to transmit and record words.

  The server 1 receives the alphabet string information by the receiving means (S103), and recognizes the character information composed of “component characters”, “character string”, and “number of characters” by the character information recognition means based on the received alphabet string information (S103). S103). In the present embodiment, constituent characters “M”, “I”, “Y”, “O”, “K”, “O”, and “M” → “I” → “Y” → “O” → “K” → “ In addition to the character sequence “O”, the number of characters “6” is recognized.

  The server 1 generates the image display table (blank) 5 (a) (FIG. 5 (a)) by the image display table generation means based on the character information recognized by the character information recognition means (S104).

  First, the image number list 4 (a) (FIG. 4 (a)) corresponding to “m” which is the first character (n = 1) is acquired from the database (S105, S106). In this list, image numbers specifying 13 types of image files from “m1b.jpg” to “m13b.jpg” are listed.

  One image number is acquired according to the order of the image number list. In the present embodiment, the top image number “m1b.jpg” is acquired (S107).

  Whether or not the acquired image numbers are duplicated in the image display table is determined by the image number check means (S108), and if they are duplicated, the next-ranked image number is obtained based on the image number list.

In the present embodiment, “m1b.jpg” is the first image number in the image display table and does not overlap any of the image display tables. Therefore, the image number is assigned to the image display table 5 (b) (FIG. 5 (b)). )) (S109).
Here, the character “o” is the fourth character and the sixth character, and “NO” processing is performed when the sixth character is duplicated (S108). Accordingly, the next-ranked image number “o2b.jpg” (FIG. 4B) is acquired based on the image number list.

Next, it is determined by the image number number check means whether or not the number of image numbers stored in the image display table matches the number of characters constituting the alphabet string information.
If they do not match, the process returns to the process of acquiring the image number list corresponding to the nth constituent character (S110).

  When the number of image numbers stored in the image display table by the image number number check means matches the number of characters constituting the alphabet string information, the image file data corresponding to the image number stored in the image display table Are extracted from the database (FIG. 6) (S111, S112).

  The server 1 transmits the extracted image file data to the terminal 2 via the network 3 by transmission means (S113), the terminal 2 receives the data by reception means, and displays on a liquid crystal display or the like by display means. The image is displayed in the image display field 9 by means (FIG. 8).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, since it is determined whether or not there is duplication of use of an image file based on a copy of an image number list that individually specifies the image file, the burden on the system is also imposed on the mass-use image use service. Image processing can be performed without spending time.

[Modification]
A case where the user arbitrarily changes a specific image file will be described with reference to FIGS.

  After the image file corresponding to the alphabet string “MIYOKO” is displayed as shown in FIG. 8 by the processing described in the above embodiment, for example, an image of the sixth character “O (O)” is arbitrarily selected. This is a process for replacing the image of “bicycle wheel” with another image.

  In this case, when the image of the sixth character “bicycle wheel” is clicked with the cursor 10 (FIG. 9), it is an image reminiscent of a person as having a diagram shape representing the alphabet “O”. The candidate image list 11 converted into a compressed file such as JPEG is displayed on the screen (FIG. 9). Therefore, for example, when changing to the image S of “sunflower” at the upper right corner, by clicking the image S with the cursor 10, the sixth character of the alphabet string “MIYOKO” The image of “Wheel” is replaced with the image S of “Sunflower” (FIG. 10).

  According to this modification, further variations can be provided in using the present invention.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to easily handle image data having a large data capacity in general, so that the possibility of using an image is further expanded in various fields.
