Description

  The present invention relates to a virtual omission processing system, and more particularly, to a virtual omission processing device, a virtual omission processing method, and a virtual omission processing program.

  When visiting tourist spots, people are in the mood to want to graffiti on buildings as proof of their visit. In other words, the visitor (tourist) wants to leave a mark. Graffiti is considered to be a universal desire for humanity. However, it is forbidden to actually do graffiti on the remains and cultural properties.

  An example of a technique that satisfies such a desire is proposed as a virtual doodling in Non-Patent Document 1, for example. In this proposed technique, a tourist takes a picture at a visiting place, scribbles the picture, and registers the location information (GPS data) and the scribble picture at which the picture was taken in the server as a set. When a tourist clicks (tap) the location on the map app and the location matches the location where the photo was taken, a graffiti photo is displayed on the terminal. Also, when a tourist approaches the place to visit, a graffiti photo is displayed on the terminal.

  Further, for example, by utilizing the commemorative image registration / transmission technology proposed in Patent Document 1, it is possible to perform virtual graffiti on a building or the like.

  Hereinafter, it will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings show a preferred embodiment. However, it can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[Virtual Rogue Processing System]
Referring to FIG. 1 showing a system configuration according to one embodiment, a virtual omission processing system 1 includes a virtual omission processing device 2 as a communication node device, a communication network 3, a plurality of communication node devices 4 (4A-4N), and The blockchain network 5 is included.

  The communication network 3 is a backbone network that enables wireless communication and / or wired communication to the virtual letter-book processing device 2 and the plurality of communication node devices 4, and is logically an IP (Internet Protocol) network or block such as the Internet. The chain network 5 is constructed. In the following description, the intervention of the communication network 3 is omitted unless it is unclear.

  The virtual letter-book processing device 2 and the plurality of communication node devices 4 are communication devices having a data communication function including characters, voices, and images. For example, at least one of mobile phone terminals such as smartphones and mobile computer terminals such as personal computers. Each can take a single configuration or a composite configuration including two. IP addresses in the IP network are assigned to the virtual omission processing device 2 and the plurality of communication node devices 4.

  Here, the virtual omission processing device 2 is a communication node device that newly participates in the block chain network 5, but after registration of participation, it will constitute the block chain network 5 together with the communication node devices 4A-4N. Further, the virtual omission processing device 2 acquires a unique address in the block chain network 5 at the time of registration for participation in order to perform data communication including characters, voices, and images with the communication node devices 4A-4N. This unique address is called a block chain address and consists of an alphabet with more than 30 characters.

  The block chain network 5 is a distributed network composed of a plurality (strictly speaking, a large number) of communication node devices 4 each having a unique address, and there is no central manager or third party. The communication node devices 4A-4N participating in the block chain network 5 store all the same data in a database (distributed database) DB as a block chain BC. Therefore, by utilizing the block chain BC to share and monitor the history of transactions (transactions) and the like, it is possible to ensure the existence and legitimacy of transactions between the communication node devices 4A-4N. ..

  More specifically, the virtual omission processing device 2 in the virtual omission processing system 1 described above includes hardware components and functional components as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3.

  That is, the virtual omission processing device 2 stores a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 20 as a processor, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 21 as a working memory, and a boot program for booting as hardware components. Read only memory (ROM) 22 described above.

  The virtual omission processing device 2 is a nonvolatile flash memory 23 that rewritably stores an OS (Operating System), application programs, and various types of information (including data), a communication control unit 24, and a NIC (Network Interface Card). And a communication interface (IF) unit 25.

  Further, the virtual letter-book processing apparatus 2 includes an image pickup unit 26 including a camera, a display control unit 27, a display unit 28 including a display and a speaker, a microphone, a numeric keypad, various function buttons (keys), a pointing unit, and a cursor feed. An information input / designation unit 29 including a unit and the like is further provided.

  The virtual letter-book processing apparatus 2 has, as functional components described in detail later, a virtual letter-book acquisition unit 201, a position information acquisition unit 202, a visited place image acquisition unit 203, a storage processing unit 204, a letter-mark addition image generation unit 205, and virtual currency remittance. A unit 206, a display processing unit 207, a virtual currency balance confirmation unit 208, a database DB1 and the like are provided.

  Here, the database DB1 is configured in the flash memory 23. Further, software SW for using the block chain BC, which will be described in detail later, and application programs such as a Web (World Wide Web) browser are installed in the flash memory 23.

  As an example, in order to logically implement the above-described functional components (201-208) in the virtual omission processing device 2, the virtual omission processing program is installed in the flash memory 23 as an application program. Then, in the virtual omission processing device 2, the processor (CPU) 20 expands the virtual omission processing program in the RAM 21 and executes it in response to an instruction from the user or power-on.

  The virtual omission processing is performed by the virtual omission processing processing program cooperating with the software SW for using the block chain BC and an application program such as a Web browser.

  It should be noted that the plurality of communication node devices 4 in the virtual omission processing system 1 include the same hardware components as the virtual omission processing device 2 illustrated in FIG. 2 and can be easily understood and implemented by those skilled in the art. Illustration of the detailed configuration is omitted.

[Details of virtual letter-book processing device]
Next, referring also to FIG. 1 and the related diagrams (FIGS. 2 to 8), it is possible to easily and semi-permanently leave virtual graffiti as a proof of a visit. The processing device 2 will be described in more detail.

[Pre-processing]
The virtual omission processing device 2 in the virtual omission processing system 1 is a communication node device that newly joins the block chain network 5, and if the block chain BC is already held in the database DB1, it is saved in this block chain BC. The software SW for using the existing block chain BC is executed.

  However, if the virtual chain letter processing device 2 does not hold the block chain BC in the database DB1, it requests the communication node devices 4A-4N on the block chain network 5 to execute the software SW for using the block chain BC. Will be done.

  Here, when the user US-A activates the software SW in the virtual letter-book processing apparatus 2, it is possible to perform participation registration and perform data communication including characters, voice, and images with the communication node apparatuses 4A-4N. Therefore, a unique address (blockchain address) in the blockchain network 5 is acquired as a self-address.

  After registering to participate in the blockchain network 5, the virtual omission processing device 2 configures the blockchain network 5 together with the communication node devices 4A-4N (only described as the communication node device 4 when no limitation is required). become.

[Virtual letter processing]
In the virtual letter-book processing apparatus 2, when the virtual letter-book processing program is activated in response to an instruction from the user US-A who is a visitor, the location information acquisition unit 202 causes the location information acquisition unit 202 to geographically identify the visited location such as a tourist spot. Information is acquired (process S51 in FIG. 5). This geographical position information includes longitude, latitude, and altitude data, and is acquired by using satellites such as GPS (Global Positioning System).

  The display processing unit 207 includes a donation destination list that is registered in advance in association with (associated with) the geographical location information based on the geographical location information of the visited place acquired by the location information acquisition unit 202. The screen data is acquired from the flash memory 23 as a storage unit. The data of the donation destination list itself is registered in advance in the block chain BC. Then, the display processing unit 207 creates a virtual omission book setting screen SC, an example of which is shown in FIG. 6, and displays it on the display (visible display) (processing S52).

  The displayed virtual comic book setting screen SC includes a comic book input window 61, a donation list 62, a comic book save button 63, and a comic book display button 64, as shown in FIG. Here, in the donation destination list 62, “XXX city (lobby tax)”, “YYY association”, “ZZZ memorial”, and “anywhere” are selectably included.

  The virtual comic book acquisition unit 201 acquires the virtual graffiti input at the visited place (process S53). That is, the virtual omission book acquisition unit 201 acquires virtual graffiti as a proof of the visit that the visitor has input in the omission input window 61 of the virtual omission book setting screen SC at the visiting place.

  Here, the visitor inputs a visible scribble by a character string, for example, "I came to XXX! By AAA" in the letter-writing input window 61. However, the visitor may simultaneously or alternatively enter an audible graffiti, such as a voice, through the microphone. Further, the visitor may input not only the character string but also the visible graffiti including the pattern and the line.

  The save processing unit 204 acquires the virtual graffiti as the proof of the visit acquired by the virtual omission book acquisition unit 201 and the position information acquisition unit 202 when the visitor specifies the omission record saving button 63 on the virtual omission book setting screen SC. The created geographical position information is associated with the pre-acquired own unique address and stored in the block chain BC in the block chain network 5 (process S54) (see block BKn + 1 in FIG. 4). The visiting place image, which will be described in detail later, causes an increase in communication capacity and storage capacity, and is not registered in the block chain BC of the block chain network 5.

  As shown in an example in FIG. 4, the block chain BC is composed of a time series chain of data called blocks BL1, BK2, ..., BKn, BKn + 1. Each block contains information about the hash value of the immediately preceding block. Therefore, if any of the blocks is tampered with, inconsistency occurs in the data chain relationship. Each block also includes Proof of Work (POW) as an algorithm for consensus building. Furthermore, each block includes a history of processing (transaction) such as a transaction.

  In the block BKn + 1 in the block chain BC illustrated in FIG. 4, the virtual graffiti and the geographical position information transmitted from the storage processing unit 204 as the proof of the visit are stored in the unique address (owner of the user US-A who is the visitor). It is stored together with information on virtual currency (remaining amount of money) in association with the address. In this block BKn + 1, virtual currency (registration) information is also stored as a transaction history in association with its own unique address.

  The data of the block chain BC including the above-mentioned blocks BL1, BK2, ..., BKn, BKn + 1 is finally stored in the database DB1 of the virtual omission processing device 2 and a plurality of blocks constituting the block chain network 5 are formed. It is also stored (reflected) in the database DB of the communication node device 4.

  The virtual currency remittance unit 206 remits the virtual currency as a price to save the virtual graffiti in the blockchain BC when any of the donation recipients list 62 on the virtual omission book setting screen SC is voluntarily selected and designated by the visitor. The money is sent to the destination address (step S55).

  Here, since “XXX city (lost letter tax)” is designated in the donation destination list 62, the virtual currency remittance unit 206 remits a predetermined virtual currency to the remittance destination address (block chain address) as a lost letter tax. That is, the virtual currency remittance unit 206 voluntarily remits the virtual currency to the remittance destination address corresponding to any one of the donation destination list 62 determined based on the geographical position information.

  As described above, in order for the virtual currency remittance unit 206 to remit the virtual currency to the remittance destination address, the balance of the virtual currency is required at its own unique address of the block chain BC. The virtual currency balance confirmation unit 208 can receive, from the block chain network 5, a notification indicating that the desired virtual currency has been purchased in accordance with a predetermined designation operation by the user US-A who is a visitor. Upon receipt of this notification, the virtual currency balance confirmation unit 208 can confirm that the virtual currency is registered in the specific transaction in the block chain BC together with its own unique address and that there is a balance (see block BK2 in FIG. 4).

  The visited place image acquisition unit 203 acquires a visited place image regarding the visited place (processing S56). The visiting place image is an image identified about the visiting place (for example, a map image, a street view image, and an augmented reality (AR) image), and an image taken about the visiting place (for example, a photographic image and (Including moving images). Which image is adopted as the visiting place image is defined in advance in the virtual omission processing device 2.

  Here, a map image, which is an image identified with respect to the visited place, is adopted as the visited place image. In this case, the visited place image acquisition unit 203 acquires, for example, the map image specified based on the geographical position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 202 from the website. Then, the visited place image acquisition unit 203 temporarily stores the acquired map image as the visited place image in the RAM 21 as the storage unit in association with the geographical position information.

  When a street view image or an augmented reality image is adopted as the visited place image, the visited place image acquisition unit 203 is similarly identified based on the geographical position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 202. Corresponding pre-prepared images are acquired from the website and stored in a nonvolatile manner in the flash memory 23 as a storage unit in association with the geographical position information.

  When a photographic image or a moving image is adopted as the visited place image, the visited place image acquisition unit 203 acquires an image captured by the visitor with a camera at the visited place, and the geography acquired by the position information acquisition unit 202. It is stored in a nonvolatile manner in the flash memory 23 as a storage unit in association with the target position information.

  The registered letter addition image generation unit 205 acquires the virtual graffiti and the geographic position information respectively stored in the block chain BC, and displays the acquired doodled image in which the virtual graffiti as a proof of the visit is added to the visited place image. It is generated as a target (process S57).

  More specifically, the omitted letter added image generation unit 205 stores the information in the blockchain BC in response to a display request from the visitor, for example, in response to the visitor's designation of the omitted letter display button 64 on the virtual incident mark setting screen SC. The virtual graffiti as a proof of the visit being made and the geographical location information are acquired by searching for the own unique address. Further, the omitted letter addition image generation unit 205 acquires a map image as a visited place image temporarily stored in the RAM 21 in association with the geographical position information. Then, the registered letter added image generation unit 205 generates a registered letter added image in which a virtual graffiti as a proof of visit is added to the map image as a display target.

  It should be noted that the timing at which the postscript additional image generation unit 205 generates the postcard additional image as a display target may be when the user US-A who is a visitor later confirms the virtual graffiti, and at any place ( For example, it may be at home). For example, in the virtual omission processing device 2, when the user US-A confirms (views) the virtual graffiti at home, the geographical position information is acquired based on the specific map image acquired from the website. Next, the block chain BC is searched by the acquired geographical position information, and the existing virtual graffiti is acquired. Then, it is generated as a display target of an omission letter addition image in which a virtual graffiti as a proof of the acquired visit is added to the map image.

  The display processing unit 207 performs a display process on the registered letter addition image generated by the omitted letter addition image generation unit 205 (processing S58). FIG. 7 shows an example of a display on the display of an image added with a virtual scribble “XXX came to XXX! By AAA” as a proof of visit to the map image. Here, as shown in FIG. 8A, the display processing unit 207 first displays only the display position of the virtual graffiti on a pin, and when the visitor clicks and designates it, similar to the display example shown in FIG. 7. Further, the virtual graffiti may be displayed together with the map image as a postscript added image.

  In the display examples shown in FIGS. 7 and 8A, the omission display button (only for self) 64 on the virtual omission setting screen SC is designated in advance, and the block chain BC corresponds to the corresponding geographical position information as a transaction. This is the case where one virtual graffiti has been saved.

  However, in some cases, a plurality of virtual graffiti corresponding to the relevant geographical position information (including neighborhood) is stored in the block chain BC as a transaction related to its own unique address. In such a case, the display processing unit 207 pin-displays only the display positions of a plurality of virtual scribbles as shown in FIG. 8B, and one virtual image corresponding to the display position click-designated by the visitor. The graffiti is displayed together with the map image as an image added to the letter. As a result, the display processing unit 207 can display the same omission added image as the display example shown in FIG. 7 on the display. This simplified display process can be effectively applied even when the omission display button (including others) 64 on the virtual omission setting screen SC is designated in advance.

  In addition, the above described virtual omission processing device 2 may further include a virtual currency receiving unit (not shown). A virtual currency may be required as a fee in order for the virtual omission processing device 2 which is a communication node device newly participating in the block chain network 5 to use the block chain BC. The virtual currency receiving unit receives virtual currency in place of a coupon from a person visiting a store such as a tourist resort or a local government.

  The above-described processes S51 to S58 for the virtual omission process do not limit the order of execution, and can be appropriately replaced and executed.

[Effects in One Embodiment]
The virtual omission book processing device 2 in the virtual omission book processing system 1 of the embodiment described above acquires the virtual graffiti input at the visited place, and acquires the geographical position information of the visited place. This virtual omission processing device 2 acquires a visiting place image regarding a visiting place.
Further, the virtual omission processing device 2 stores the acquired virtual graffiti as the proof of the visit and the acquired geographical position information in the block chain BC in association with the previously acquired unique address.
Then, the virtual letter-book processing device 2 acquires the virtual graffiti and the geographical position information respectively stored in the block chain BC in response to the display request from the visitor, and stores them in the RAM 21 or the flash memory 23 as a storage unit. Each processing function is included, which generates, as a display target, an image added to a registered letter in which a virtual graffiti as a proof of a visit is added to a stored visited place image.
Therefore, in this virtual omission processing device 2, it is possible to realize the virtual omission processing using the block chain, which makes it possible to easily and semipermanently leave the virtual graffiti as a proof of a visit.

  In this virtual letter-book processing device 2, the virtual graffiti as the proof of the visit and the geographical position information are stored in the block chain BC, but the visit for generating the letter-scribing additional image to which the virtual graffiti is added is displayed. The place image is saved in the storage unit of the virtual omission processing device 2 without being saved in the block chain BC. As a result, it is possible to prevent an increase in the storage capacity of the block chain BC in the block chain network 5 that stores a huge amount of data.

  In addition, in the virtual letter-book processing apparatus 2, when any of the donation recipients list 62 on the virtual letter-book setting screen SC is voluntarily selected and designated by the visitor, the virtual graffiti is stored as a price in the blockchain BC. Send currency to the recipient address. As a result, it becomes possible to easily transfer the predetermined virtual currency to the visited municipality or facility as a letter tax or a donation as the virtual graffiti is stored in the block chain BC.

[Modification]
In the virtual omission processing device 2 according to the above-described embodiment, the visiting place image is not registered in the block chain BC of the block chain network 5 because it causes an increase in communication capacity and storage capacity. However, if the increase in these capacities is allowed, it is possible to adopt a modified configuration in which the visiting place image is stored in the block chain BC.
In the case of adopting this modified configuration, the virtual letter-book processing apparatus 2 includes a virtual letter-book obtaining unit 201 that obtains virtual graffiti input at a visited place; a position information obtaining unit 202 that obtains geographical position information of a visited place; A visiting place image acquiring unit 203 for obtaining a visiting place image relating to a place; a virtual graffiti as a proof of the respectively obtained visit, geographical position information, and a visiting place image in relation to a previously acquired unique address in the block chain BC. Saving processing unit 204 for saving and processing; Acquiring virtual graffiti, geographical position information and visiting place image respectively stored in the block chain BC, and adding a scrapbook added image in which virtual doodle as a proof of visit is added to the visiting place image Will be included as a display target.

The processing in the above-described one embodiment and modification is provided as a computer-executable program, and can be provided via a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM or a flexible disk, or a communication line.
Further, each processing in the above-described one embodiment and modification can be carried out by selecting and combining arbitrary plural or all of them.

An example of a technology that satisfies such a desire is proposed as a graffiti system in Non-Patent Document 1, for example. In this proposed technique, a tourist takes a picture at a visiting place, scribbles the picture, and registers the location information (GPS data) and the scribble picture at which the picture was taken in the server as a set. When a tourist clicks (tap) the location on the map app and the location matches the location where the photo was taken, a graffiti photo is displayed on the terminal. Also, when a tourist approaches the place to visit, a graffiti photo is displayed on the terminal.

Further, for example, by utilizing the commemorative image registration / transmission technology proposed in Patent Document 1, it is possible to perform virtual graffiti on a building or the like. In other words, the virtual graffiti data as the footprint of the visit can be registered and left as if it were scribbled on the actual building.

In order to avoid the disappearance of this visitor's testimony, if the visitor (tourist) saves the scribble photo or scribble memorial image on his / her own terminal device, the visitor's testimony can be maintained. Troublesome work such as leaving more backups is required.

As a result, more easily and semi-permanently, there is a demand for a technique for remaining graffiti as a proof of visit. Then, the applicant focused on the blockchain technology as a technology capable of satisfying this requirement.

Considering what kind of data should be stored using a blockchain containing such features, graffiti wants many third parties to see, and the proof of visit never disappears. .. Therefore, graffiti is considered to be data that closely matches the characteristics of blockchain.

The problem is to provide a virtual omission processing technology using blockchain that makes it possible to easily and semipermanently leave graffiti as a proof of a visit.
