Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention combines a paper medium called a printed matter and a recording medium (mainly indicating an optical disk) in which sound and moving images are recorded, which are completely different things in the past, into one. And printing, publishing, electronics,
It brings new markets to music, education, advertising, program production, and other fields.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Currently, "broadcasting media" such as television broadcasting and video can obtain information from both eyes and hearing, whereas publications and printing media can obtain information only from sight. Did not. Also, since the two were treated as completely different things, they did not merge before. In recent years, publications with a CD-ROM for computers as an appendix have appeared in order to integrate the two.
A computer system is required to view the contents of the D-ROM, and knowledge of how to operate them is also required, so that only those who satisfy these conditions can benefit. Further, CD-ROMs for computers have a limitation in the amount of information that can be recorded due to their nature, and are not suitable for recording large-capacity data such as moving images and sounds.

[0003]

Since the "video medium" and the "print medium" have different fields, characteristics, and applications in which they are good, they have been separated without fusion until now. For example, even if you print a beautiful product sample book with a lot of photos, as it is a printed matter using paper, the photos posted there will not move and naturally no sound will be produced, so There was a limit to communicating detailed information such as texture to the reader. In addition, when an infant learns a language, or when an adult wants to learn a foreign language, there is a problem that it is difficult to improve only with information from a printed reference book. As it is a printed matter, the photo printed there does not move,
It is natural that there is no sound, so if you really need moving video and audio, you have to publish it in the form of a video. However, printed materials have excellent features such as excellent storage, portability, and browsability, do not require a power source, and can be viewed anywhere at any time. Role. However, no matter how advanced the technology is, it is physically impossible to move a photo printed on paper, but by using the TV screen supplementally, the printed matter can obtain video and audio. Can be done. As a result, both having different characteristics are fused, and the printed matter enters a new stage. The information sender can use video, audio, and text on paper organically to convey more information in an easy-to-understand manner,
The recipient of the information can select the method of obtaining the information according to the time and the case. Also, as the fate of the printed matter, the information posted is at the time of completion of printing, so the value may be reduced by half with the passage of time. However, it is necessary to add a function to connect to the Internet using an optical disk together. For example, the latest information can always be obtained from the homepage.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems Information such as bar codes, QR codes and the like is analyzed on a daily basis mainly by computers in the field of merchandise management and the like. In addition, an apparatus for reproducing a designated musical piece with a video by tracing a printed matter on which a barcode is printed with an optical reader has already been put to practical use in a plurality of karaoke reproducing apparatuses and the like. Transparent inks have already been developed by major printing companies. The method of recording video and audio on an optical disk is "Audio CD", "CD Plus", "C
"D Graphics""CDExtra""VideoCD"
It has been put to practical use by various standards such as “DVD”. Those that require more complicated information processing can be realized by using "CD-RO"
M ”has already been generalized. As described above, most of the components constituting the present invention have already been developed and put into practical use at the present time, and they have no novelty. However, each system is used in a closed manner in its own field, and there is no system that can be used universally across manufacturers and industries. The present invention is a system that fuses the advantages of printed matter with the characteristics that directly appeal to the sensibility of video and audio, and is designed for people who do not have special knowledge of operating computer equipment regardless of age, gender, race, language. Is a computer-independent composite information reproduction standard that can be easily handled. If each manufacturer builds a similar system by themselves using existing technology, consumers will have to obtain a playback device for each manufacturer, and although the functions and appearance are the same, the standards are different and the compatibility is different. It is clear that empty optical disks will flood the market and disrupt the market. However, if the standard for combining printed matter and optical discs is unified into the present invention, compatibility can be achieved regardless of the purchase of any publication or the playback device of any manufacturer, which is advantageous for market formation. .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A transparent or opaque information symbol (bar code, QR code, etc.) on which unique coordinate point information is recorded is printed on a printed material at a place where video or audio information is to be added, and a reader is provided. Is recognized by a method such as adding an annotation indicating that there is additional information, adding irregularities, or changing colors. When the reader wants to see additional information in video or audio, he traces the location with an optical reader. Then, the reader sends the coordinate point information of the printed matter to the optical disk player by wire / wireless, and the video / audio recorded on the optical disk loaded therein based on the coordinate point information specific to the television receiver. Will be played back. If necessary, a modem built in the optical disk player connects to the Internet via a communication line, and the corresponding information published on the Internet is displayed on the screen. Print the unique coordinate point information with magnetic ink on the place where you want to add video or audio information on the printed matter, and annotate the reader with the additional information, add irregularities, or change the color. Recognize them by changing them. When the reader wants to see additional information in video or audio, he touches the place with his finger. Then, the coordinate point information of the printed matter is sent from the infrared transmitter embedded in the back of the book that sensed the potential difference to the optical disk player, and the image recorded based on the coordinate point information specific to the optical disk loaded therein.・ Sound is reproduced on the television receiver.
If necessary, a modem built in the optical disk player connects to the Internet via a communication line, and the corresponding information published on the Internet is displayed on the screen. The method of recording video and audio on optical discs corresponding to printed materials uses existing standards, assigns a unique address to each publication for the corresponding coordinate point information, and manages this centrally, resulting in malfunction. And build universality that is independent of publishers and playback device manufacturers.
