  The storage unit 6 is configured by a storage medium such as a known hard disk or semiconductor memory that stores programs and data for information processing. The storage unit 6 includes a content information storage area 60 for storing content information and a spare information storage area 61 for storing spare information described later. In the content information storage area 60, identification information unique to each cover identification code 15, identification information unique to each board identification code 16, and a plurality of content information can be stored in association with each other. The content information can be, for example, an image (still image), a moving image, text data, or 3D content (an image or a moving image). As content information relating to an image, for example, information of a file format such as jpeg and gif can be used. Moreover, as content information regarding a moving image, for example, information in a file format such as avi and mpeg can be used. In the present embodiment, a plurality of pieces of content information x1, x2, x3... X13 are stored in the content information storage area 60.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a storage table (database) stored in the content information storage area. As shown in FIG. 6, in this embodiment, the content information x1, x2, x3... Includes identification information a1, a2, a3... Unique to each cover identification code 15 and each mount identification code. 16 are registered in advance in the storage table of the content information storage area 60 in correspondence with the identification information b1, b2, b3. Here, one record in the database corresponds to one piece of content information on a one-to-one basis, and one piece of content information is not registered redundantly in a plurality of records. The content information registration process will be described later. Thus, the identification information of each cover identification code 15, the identification information of each mount identification code 16, and a plurality of pieces of content information are stored in association with each other. In addition, the specific content (content) of the content information to be registered can be freely selected by the user. For example, the content related to the content of the photo P arranged on the mount 11 can be selected. The storage unit 6 stores a control program for controlling the album system 1.

  The control unit 7 includes a processor such as a known CPU that performs information processing based on a program and data. The control unit 7 can control each of the above components by executing an album system control program stored in the storage unit 6.

Data Processing in Album System Next, data processing in the album system having the above configuration will be described. This data processing is executed by a control program stored in the storage unit 6. In the following description, displaying in “real time” means displaying immediately, and there is a time lag related to data processing within a common sense.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing data processing in the album system. As illustrated in FIG. 7, when the user operates the mobile terminal device 3, the control unit 7 of the mobile terminal device 3 displays a list of content information stored in the storage unit 6 on the display unit 4. In the present embodiment, a plurality of pieces of content information are displayed on the display unit 4 in a thumbnail format (step S1). Thereafter, the user selects content information to be searched, and the control unit 7 stores the selected content information (refer to the example shown in FIG. 6, for example, “x4”) (step S2).

  Next, the user selects an arbitrary album 2 from a plurality of albums 2, 2... To which the cover identification code 15 is attached. The imaging unit 8 of the portable terminal device 3 images the cover identification code 15 attached to the cover 10 of the selected album 2, and the control unit 7 displays the captured image 41 on the display unit 4 in real time (step S3). ).

Subsequently, the control unit 7 recognizes the cover identification code 15 from the captured image 41, and acquires identification information unique to the cover identification code 15 (for example, "a _camera ") (step S4). The identification information “a _camera ” acquired from the captured image 41 is identification information regarding the album 2. The method for recognizing the cover identification code 15 from the captured image 41 is not particularly limited. For example, when a QR code (registered trademark) is used as the cover identification code 15, the symbol and pattern of the QR code (registered trademark) are recognized. The identification information can be recognized by a known method.

  When the control unit 7 cannot recognize the symbol from the captured image 41, or when the recognized identification information is other information that is not the cover identification code 15 (step S5), the control unit 7 means “error”. The image is superimposed on the captured image 41 and displayed in real time (step S6), and the processing from step S3 is performed again.

Subsequently, the control unit 7 determines whether or not content information to be searched is included in the selected album 2 (step S7). For example, the storage table (database) in the content information storage area 60 is searched using the content information “x4” to be searched as a search key, and the cover page registered in association with the content information “x4” from the storage table record. Of the identification information “a1” of the identification code 15 and the identification information “b4” of the mount identification code 16, the identification information “a1” specifying the album 2 is acquired. When the identification information “a1” acquired from the storage table matches the identification information “a _camera ” acquired from the captured image 41 in step S4, the album 2 selected in step S3 is searched for. Some content information “x4” exists.

  FIG. 8 is an example of a screen display when content information exists in an album. If they match, the controller 7 superimposes the image 42 serving as a mark on the captured image 41 and displays it in real time (step S8). Here, the position where the image 42 serving as the mark is displayed is a position corresponding to the selected album 2 in the captured image 41. If they do not match, the content information “x4” to be searched does not exist in the album 2 selected in step S 3, so the control unit 7 superimposes an image indicating “error” on the captured image 41. At the same time, it is displayed in real time (step 6), and the processing from step S3 is performed again.

  A method for displaying the image 42 serving as a mark or an image indicating “error” in a superimposed manner on the captured image 41 in real time can be performed by, for example, a known augmented reality (AR) technique. Various development kits such as AndAR, AR ToolKit, and FLARToolKit are known as development environments for augmented reality applications.

  Thereafter, the control unit 7 repeats the process from step S3 until an input indicating termination is received from the user (step S9). When a plurality of cover identification codes 15 are included in the captured image 41, the processing from step S3 to step S7 may be repeated for each cover identification code 15 in order.

  According to the album system 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the control unit 7 accepts designation of content information to be searched among the content information x1 to x13 stored in the storage unit 6, and from the storage table of the storage unit 6 Then, the identification information of the cover identification code associated with the content information is acquired. Further, the control unit 7 recognizes the cover identification code 15 attached to the cover 10 of the album 2 from the captured image 41 captured by the imaging unit 8, and the identification information regarding the album 2 from the recognized cover identification code 15. To get. Then, when the control unit 7 compares the identification information acquired via the imaging unit 41 with the identification information acquired from the storage table and determines that they match, the content information to be searched for in the album 2 is It is determined that it exists, and the mark image 42 is superimposed on the captured image 41 and displayed on the display unit 4 in real time. As a result, the user can easily determine which album contains the photo to be searched from among the plurality of albums 2, 2,.

  In addition, the display position of the mark image 42 on the captured image 41 can be made to correspond to the position of the album 2 in which the cover identification code 15 is recognized. Thereby, the user can more intuitively determine that the content information to be searched exists in the album 2 at the position where the landmark image 42 is displayed. Further, by attaching the cover identification code 15 to the cover 10 with the seal piece 12, it is not necessary to previously attach the cover identification code 15 to the cover 10, and it can be attached to the cover 10 later by the seal piece 12. it can. Thus, the cover identification code 15 can be attached to various types of albums. Moreover, since it is not necessary to attach the cover identification code 15 to the cover 10 in advance, the manufacturing cost when manufacturing the album 2 can be reduced. That is, a plurality of albums 2 to which similar cover identification codes 15 are attached in advance are manufactured, and a plurality of albums 2 are classified by attaching cover identification codes 15 to these albums 2 with sticker pieces 12. Can do. Thereby, when manufacturing the album 2, it can manufacture efficiently and can suppress cost. Further, by attaching the mount identification code 16 to the surface of the substrate 110 of the mount 11 and covering the substrate 110 with the substrate protective layer 112, the mount identification code 16 can be protected. Thereby, since the deterioration of the mount identification code 16 can be prevented, the mount identification code 16 can be reliably recognized.

  As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, the specific aspect of this invention is not limited to the said embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, the content information is stored in the content information storage area 60 in advance. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and content information registration processing can be performed in advance. An example of content information registration processing will be described below.

  In the content information registration process, the content information, the identification information unique to the cover identification code 15, and the identification information unique to the mount identification code 16 can be stored in the content information storage area 60 in association with each other.

  When performing content information registration processing, the storage unit 6 can store preliminary information in the preliminary information storage area 61 in advance. The preliminary information can be information similar to the content information described above, and can be, for example, an image (still image), a moving image, or the like. This preliminary information is stored in the content information storage area 60 as content information by being associated with the cover identification code 15 and the mount identification code 16. Further, this preliminary information can be freely stored in the preliminary information storage area 61 by the user.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart of content information registration processing. First, the user selects an arbitrary album 2 from a plurality of albums 2, 2... And the cover identification code 15 attached to the cover 10 of the selected album 2 is imaged by the imaging unit 8 of the mobile terminal device 3. (Step S21).

  After the imaging, the control unit 7 recognizes the captured cover identification code 15 and acquires identification information unique to the cover identification code 15 (step S22). The method for recognizing the cover identification code 15 is not particularly limited. For example, when a QR code (registered trademark) is used as the cover identification code 15, a known method for recognizing a symbol and pattern of the QR code (registered trademark). Thus, identification information can be recognized.

  Thereafter, the user selects an arbitrary mount identification code 16 from the plurality of mount identification codes 16 attached to the mount 11 in the selected album 2, and the selected mount identification code 16 is transferred to the mobile terminal device. 3 is imaged (step S23). At this time, the user can select a photograph P of interest from the plurality of photographs P and capture the mount identification code 16 attached to the position corresponding to the photograph P.

  After imaging, the control unit 7 recognizes the imaged identification code 16 for the mount and acquires identification information unique to the identification code 16 for the mount (Step S24). As a method for recognizing the mount identification code 16, the same method as in the case of the cover identification code 15 can be used.

  Subsequently, when there is spare information in the spare information storage area 61 in step S25, the control unit 7 displays the spare information stored in the spare information storage area 61 on the display part 4 (steps S25 and S26). ). Although the method for displaying the preliminary information on the display unit 4 is not particularly limited, in the present embodiment, the control unit 7 displays a plurality of preliminary information on the display unit 4 in a thumbnail format.

  Subsequently, the user selects preliminary information to be registered as content information from a plurality of preliminary information, and touches the touch panel 9 at the position where the preliminary information is displayed (step S27). After the preliminary information is selected, the control unit 7 displays a registration button for registering the preliminary information as content information on the display unit 4 (step S28). Subsequently, when the user touches the touch panel 9 at the position where the registration button is displayed, the control unit 7 stores the selected preliminary information as content information in the content information storage area 60 (step S29). At this time, the control unit 7 associates the content information (preliminary information) with the identification information unique to the cover identification code 15 recognized in steps S22 and S24 and the identification information unique to the mount identification code 16. , It is registered in the storage table of the content information storage area 60 as one record of the database. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the preliminary information is “x1”, the identification information unique to the cover identification code 15 is “a1”, and the identification information unique to the mount identification code 16 is “b1”. In some cases, the preliminary information “x1” is stored as content information in the storage table of the content information storage area 60 together with the identification information “a1 and b1”. Thereby, identification information a1 unique to the cover identification code 15, identification information b1 unique to the mount identification code 16, and content information (preliminary information) x1 can be registered in association with each other.

  If the preliminary information is not stored in advance in the preliminary information storage area 61 in step S25 described above, the control unit 7 displays an imaging screen on the display unit 4 after step S25 described above (step S36). . Subsequently, the user captures an image to be registered as content information by the imaging unit 8 (step S37). When the image is captured, the control unit 7 stores the captured image as content information in the storage table of the content information storage area 60 (step S38). At this time, the control unit 7 associates the content information (preliminary information) with the identification information unique to the cover identification code 15 recognized in steps S22 and S24 and the identification information unique to the mount identification code 16. , It is registered in the storage table of the content information storage area 60 as one record of the database.

  In the above embodiment, the content information is registered in the storage table as a database together with the mount identification code 16 as well as the cover identification code 15. However, the content information is not necessarily stored together with the mount identification code 16. There is no need to Since the user only needs to know which album 2 of the plurality of albums 2 contains the content information to be searched, the content information is associated with at least the cover identification code 15 in the storage table as a database. It only needs to be registered.

  In the above embodiment, in step S7, the identification information “a1” for identifying the album 2 is acquired from the record in the storage table using the content information “x4” to be searched as a search key. Need not be executed in step S7. The timing of the process may be after step S2 in which the content information “x4” to be searched is received from the user.
