Description

Event participation system based on photo box {SYSTEM FOR CONNECTING EVENT}

The present invention relates to an event participation system based on a photo box. More specifically, unlike the mechanism of existing photo boxes that photograph a target and simply output the captured photo, a QR code related to an event hosted by the target company is generated. In addition, it is possible to satisfy and secure customers' possession needs by actively utilizing proprietary event paper and printing or providing QR codes with the captured photos and settings applied in combination, and the generated QR code allows various events organized by the company to be sent. ·A photo box-based photo box that maximizes convenience of use and efficiency due to ease of handling, use, maintenance, and repair that comes from a technological philosophy differentiated from existing ones, such as providing simple offline guidance and encouraging participation. It is about the event participation system.

The recently developed photo box is a product that is a combination of a small printer and an Android tablet. When an object is photographed with a camera installed on the Android tablet, the captured image is output through the printer.

These photo boxes are an item that stimulates the emotions of the younger generation who value value consumption, and cafes and restaurants that have installed this product are enjoying such popularity that their sales are steadily increasing.

For example, technology related to photo boxes is published in Patent Publication No. 10-2475442, “Receipt Photo Box, which prints daily life scenes on receipts as if they were photographs,” and the technology includes tablet computers; and, receipt printer; and, photography. an exposure portion exposing the tablet computer to the target; and a receipt discharge unit that discharges the receipt printed from the receipt printer to the outside.

The receipt photo box uses a tablet computer to create a captured image containing the subject, attach the received captured image to the receipt, and then print it using a receipt printer.

Another technology similar to the above prior art is published in Patent Publication No. 10-2004-0006708, “Unmanned Photography Method and Device.” The technology is operated in the form of a vending machine in places with a lot of people traffic, such as parks, historical sites, and tourist attractions, and consists of a combination of a high-resolution digital camera, a computer, the Internet, and a printer.

From this, users can take photos with the surrounding scenery and facilities in the background, and can apply frames, notes, emoticons, patterns, etc. to the photos taken with easy operation. After inserting the edited photo into the receipt, change the settings. It can be sent by email or printed out through a printer.

As described above, receipts containing photos taken by customers and photo boxes that issue them are installed in various places and are used by many people. Accordingly, the present invention develops and provides an efficient technology with more diverse functions, such as providing unique photos using such photo boxes, as well as smartly providing events hosted by companies, thereby creating a new structure of profit. I want to induce it.

When the event setting unit 120 is selected, the screen switches to the event setting page, and the page provides a check box for holding an online event and a check box for holding an offline event. Accordingly, the administrator can hold an online event by checking the online event 121 through the event setting unit 120, or can hold an offline event by checking the offline event 122, and can combine online events and offline events. You can check them all and hold online and offline events at the same time.

For example, when the administrator checks the online event 121, the screen switches to the online event settings screen. The online event settings screen provides an address entry field (121-1) where the address of the event homepage can be entered, and the administrator must enter the event homepage URL in the address entry field.

If the administrator checks the offline event 122, the screen switches to the offline event settings screen. The offline event settings screen provides an event setting field (122-1) where the number of participants and the number of drawees can be specified. The administrator must enter the limited number of participants as a number in the number of participants and the limited number of winners as a number in the number of drawees. do.

For example, if you enter the number 100 in the number of participants and the number 10 in the number of winners, a total of 100 people can participate in the event, and 10 out of 100 participants will be drawn as winners.

The online event 121 generates a QR code 2 for the online event and inserts the generated online QR code into the printing paper. The online event 121 includes an output request unit that receives a request for output of event paper from the user; a code generator that generates an online QR code; and a QR code insertion unit that inserts the generated online QR code into the printing paper. It can be made up of parts;

The QR code for the online event may be the event homepage URL listed in the address entry field 121-1, or the current time when the event paper is requested to be output from the user may be applied.

When the online QR code (2) is scanned, the URL link set in the address entry field (121-1) is exposed to encourage entry to the address, or the result value, that is, whether or not you have won the event, is immediately displayed by communicating with the corresponding server. Guided.

The offline event 122 performs the role of inserting a photograph taken on a printing paper, inserting a printing date when printing, determining whether to win the event, and inserting it into the printing paper.

The offline event 122 consists of an output request unit that receives a request from the user to output the event paper; a winning decision unit that determines whether to win the event; and an information insertion unit that inserts a photo and winning result into the printing paper. You can.

In the offline event 122, the winning decision unit randomly generates winning results according to the user's print request, writes the winning results on printed paper along with a photo and provides a printout, so that the user can immediately check the winning results through the paper. there is.

Figure 6 is an exemplary diagram of the lottery setting unit proposed by the present invention.

The event setting unit 120 includes a lottery setting unit 123 that can set lottery information in detail.
