Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a tactile content production system,

The present invention relates to a tactile content production system in which a text file is converted into braille and converted into tactile content and then printed.

The present invention also relates to a tactile content agent; Tactile content server; And a tactile content printer, the tactile content agent comprising: a) a display means; b) a text file to a server; and c) a print method interface, the tactile content server comprising: a) C) translating the braille information into braille printing information according to a printing method selected by the user, and transmitting the converted braille information to the printing machine, and the tactile content printing machine transmits the braille information to the printing machine, And outputting braille by receiving the print information.

A braille character is a special sign that allows a visually impaired person who can not correctly recognize an object to read through a finger. The name "Braille" is derived from the fact that the point is protruding from the ground so that it can be read by the tactile sense of the tip of the fingertip. Unlike the general character system, it has its own character system.

In other words, the braille character is a 6-point braille character, in which six or four small letters arranged in upper and lower two lines are grouped together to represent letters and signs. Currently, each country that uses phonetic letters uses this letter in accordance with the country letter. The standard dimensions of the braille are normally 0.7 mm high, 1.4 mm diameter, and center spacing between braille is 2.2 mm, according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Such a braille printing method can be largely divided into a perforation printing method, a digital embossing printing method, and a UV printing method. In the perforated printing method, after the perforated printing machine receives the perforated braille printing information, the back side of the paper is printed with a print head by making it convex. The digital embossing printing method is a method in which the polymer ink is raised on the paper after the embossed braille printing information is received and printed. The UV printing method is a method of repeatedly printing with UV ink on paper after receiving UV braille printing information.

Here, the braille information, the embossed braille printing information, or the UV braille printing information may be information combined with information capable of controlling the operation function of the printing apparatus so that the apparatuses according to each printing method can operate. have.

The above-mentioned braille printing methods each have a problem. In the case of the puncturing printing method, when a user creates a text file, there is a program that automatically translates the printing data into perforated braille printing information. However, There was no way to verify and verify this.

The digital embossing printing method has a limitation in that it takes a lot of time to design the embossed braille printing information because the designer does not have a program for designing the braille manually by hand through the design exclusive program. Also, it is very difficult to check or correct the error after it has worked like the existing perforation printing method.

The UV printing method was also difficult to automatically convert to UV braille printing information, and as with the previous two printing methods, there was a limit to correcting or correcting errors after the dotting.

On the other hand, in relation to the technology related to the present invention, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 10-2013-0038025 describes a braille output device.

According to Claim 1 of the present invention, there is provided an image processing apparatus including: an image sensor that generates an image image; a character recognition unit that recognizes characters on the image image to generate character information; a character recognition unit that converts character information into braille information And a braille output unit for outputting braille in accordance with the braille information. "

The above technique is a device that recognizes characters and converts them into braille characters and outputs the braille characters. However, since characters are converted into braille characters only, ordinary people who do not know braille characters can not read them and only braille characters are output through a heat generating element Which is a disadvantage in that it is not possible to select an output method suitable for the convenience of the visually impaired.

In addition, since the interface for correcting braille is not included, there is a problem that the position and height of the braille can not be modified by the user.

Therefore, 1. Text file is converted into braille information and then automatically converted to braille printing information according to each printing method. 2. Automatic conversion of text file into braille printing information after selecting printing method. 3. Text file It is required to develop a system including a function that can translate back into braille information or braille printing information, and then reverse-convert it to display character information and braille information on a display for verification and correction.
