An object of the present invention is to provide an information display body capable of obtaining product information by simply holding a graphic representing a product for which a user wants to obtain information over a camera such as a CMOS element.

The information display body according to the present invention is characterized by comprising a figure representing a product and a two-dimensional code integrally represented on the figure.

Here, the two-dimensional code may be integrally represented on the whole or the main part of the figure representing the product, and the figure representing the product is integrally formed on the outside of the two-dimensional code. You may.

In the present invention, the graphic representing a product is, for example, a pattern expressing the outer diameter shape of the product, which can be easily recognized by a general user such as a consumer or a trader of the product. To say.
The information display body according to the present invention is characterized in that a figure or the like representing this product and a two-dimensional code are generally expressed, and the secondary code is simply displayed on a conventional product or a part of the product image. It's different from the one.

Since the information display body according to the present invention expresses the shape of an article of a product, etc., general users and traders can easily recognize what kind of article, etc. the information is about, and this is a so-called smartphone. , By simply holding it over an image sensor such as a CMOS camera built into a mobile terminal such as a tablet, information about the article can be displayed on these mobile terminals, or switched to the website of a company or seller that handles them. You can also make it possible.
Furthermore, the following effects are also expected.
Barcodes alone are prone to mistakes associated with pasting, but in the case of graphic representations of products, intuitive judgment is added as information, so mistakes can be reduced and prevented. Useful.
In addition, with conventional QR codes, etc., when products are in close proximity, it is easy to mistakenly read information that is different from the target information, but graphical information that captures the characteristics of the product. Can be checked intuitively, so such a thing can be prevented at the same time.
Since it can be used as an icon, it has the effect of being able to select from multiple PCs and tablets without mistakes.
Furthermore, by evaluating the affinity between the actual product recognized in the surrounding images and the two-dimensional code information represented by the icon by AI, the possibility of making a mistake is positively notified. It can also be applied.
There is also an advantage that it becomes easier to give guidance by voice, and recognition makes it easier for visually impaired people to selectively use the two-dimensional code.
If Braille is added, it can contribute to ease of handling and understanding.
Not only the information in the identification tag based on the mark point, but also other external shapes can be used as an information source.

An example in which a two-dimensional code is integrally expressed inside a figure showing the outer shape of a product is shown. Examples (a) to (c) showing the outer shape of the product with the two-dimensional code itself are shown. An example in which the shape of the product is integrally expressed on the outside of the two-dimensional code is shown. An example of using an information display body as an icon of a mobile terminal is shown. (A) is an overall view, and (b) is an enlarged view of the icon. An example of using an information display for cashless payment is shown.

An example of the information display body according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings, but the graphic is only an example of a product and can be applied to various products and articles.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a product handled by the applicant.
This product is a metal beverage container (glass), and when you lightly hit the glasses against each other, you will hear a long lingering sound.
It can also be used as a toast glass for various celebrations and banquets, and is called a toast glass.

FIG. 1 shows an example in which the outer shape of the toast glass is represented by a silhouette-shaped outer line, in which (a) is the entire product, and (b) and (c) are the cup parts which are the main parts showing the characteristics of the product. It is an integral representation of a two-dimensional code such as a QR code.
The two-dimensional code is not limited to the QR code.
FIG. 2 is an example in which the entire outer shape of the product and the outer shape of the main part are expressed by the two-dimensional code itself.
When general users and traders are interested in this product and hold the camera of a smartphone or tablet terminal over it, this product information and website are displayed.
You can also click on the website to display the homepage of the company in charge of sales and production.
In this way, if the product shape is expressed by the two-dimensional code itself, an interested general user, trader, or the like can take in information about the product simply by holding it over a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or tablet.
Therefore, it can be widely applied not only to various products but also to various service industries such as travel and explanation of tourist spots.

FIG. 2 is an example in which the outer shape of the product is represented in a silhouette by the two-dimensional code itself.
In this case as well, the entire product may be represented as shown in FIG. 2A, or only the characteristic portion of the product may be integrally represented as shown in (b) and (c).

3 (a) and 3 (b) show an example in which a product image diagram is integrally represented outside the two-dimensional code as an application example of the present invention.

FIG. 4A shows a screen of a mobile terminal 1 such as a tablet, an example in which an information display body according to the present invention is used for icon 2 on the screen, and an enlarged view of the icon is shown in FIG. 4B.
In this way, it becomes easy to select an icon that matches the desired information from a plurality of icons on the screen.
Further, the information display body according to the present invention can also be used as a means of electronic payment using the mobile terminal 1 as shown in FIG.
In this case as well, visual information including the outer shape of the information display body can suppress selection mistakes.

The information display body according to the present invention is characterized in that various information generated from the outer shape and information by a secondary code are integrated.
Therefore, the information display body according to the present invention may be integrated with a symbolic map symbol.
In this way, the contents indicated by the map symbols can be understood instantly, and at the same time, detailed information can be obtained from the two-dimensional code.
Such a feature can be applied not only to a map to be carried around, but also to a large map information board set in a place such as a station square or a police box where directions are required.

In addition, the QR code is composed of a cutout symbol by a double quadrangle and a block corresponding to each cell for capturing information.
If this block is expressed in a symbolic design instead of the conventional square block display, it becomes easier to understand as a shape, and reading trouble can be suppressed by the interpolation information as a figure.
