Description

Internet KIOSK of watermarking which Input Personal physical Image to Personal digital image}

1 is a block diagram of an Internet digital information kiosk according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an operation process of a digital information kiosk according to the present invention.

FIG. 3 is an exemplary diagram illustrating implementation on a watermark and image editing unit panel according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention relates to an internet-based kiosk that can interoperate with a digital device, and more particularly, can be connected to a mobile phone terminal, a digital camera, and various digital memory devices, and can be used to connect pictures, texts, sounds, and videos from the digital device. By receiving related data files and editing the data files, it is possible to transmit digital information to the connected internet storage space, making it easy to output the results of various digital devices or to others and to increase the utilization of digital devices. The present invention relates to an internet-based digital information kiosk that can interoperate with a digital device that can contribute to the activation of the device.

In general, kiosks are unmanned terminals that are installed in public offices, banks, universities, hotels, panic, etc. or public places with many floating populations, so that the public can easily use them for the unmanned automation of information services and tasks in the information and communication field. Point. Also referred to as a multimedia station or a self service station, a touch screen method is generally used to obtain information or to process tasks such as purchasing, ticketing, registration, photography, and guidance.

However, in recent years, with the development of information and communication, it is required to expand the use of such kiosk devices, and thus, for kiosk devices that can provide various additional services in addition to the existing services such as purchase, ticketing, registration, photography, and guidance described above. Desire is increasing.

The present invention relates to a network kiosk system capable of watermarking an individual's digital image. More specifically, the present invention relates to a unique watermark image form of an individual, such as a watermark, which creates an image using a digital medium and adds a personal body image to recorded image data And a network kiosk system for controlling and operating digital information of an internet personal storage space remotely by connecting the kiosk system through a network and storing the data on-line such as a mobile phone, an e-mail or a web album. will be.

An object of the present invention is to remotely connect a digital device such as a mobile terminal, a digital camera, various digital memory devices and the user interface through the kiosk to receive the relevant data file from the digital device and to input the data file around the personal body image It is to provide an internet storage based kiosk that can interoperate with digital devices that can record and edit watermarks through the device and immediately output or store them to the connected digital device or transmit them to the Internet-based mobile phone terminal through the Internet. .

In order to achieve the above object, a control unit for processing a watermark image of the personal body input image according to the present invention, a digital camera and handwriting input terminal for digitizing the personal body image to be input to the kiosk system, fingerprint recognition input device; Input means for allowing a user to input a control command to the kiosk system; A control unit which provides menus and help information, and executes an operation program according to each menu to operate a kiosk system by a command of an input means; A data storage unit for storing and editing the watermark image and the input digital image provided by the kiosk system; An image data synthesizing unit for synthesizing an image input from a digital camera and an individual body image; A screen configured to display an image input from a digital camera, content stored in a data storage unit, and data synthesized by the data synthesis unit; Payment means for making an electronic card, a bill, a coin, or a mobile phone payment for a user's payment for using the kiosk system; And a communication means for communicating with an external device, and furthermore, the personal body watermarking kiosk system according to the present invention is provided with a storage space of a web server connected to a network and provided by a kiosk manufacturer. Content storage means for producing and storing the content; Communication means for transmitting the content stored in the content storage means to the unmanned kiosk system and receiving the data synthesized by the data synthesis unit; And user storage means for storing the data synthesized by the data synthesis unit for each user of the unmanned kiosk system.

The present invention provides a kiosk that can record, edit, and store the individual's differentiated data image, to create a unique image of the customer developed by the individual customer, the user using the kiosk system in the wrong time and place By building a file such as a differentiated image in its own database, consumers can commercialize their own images by producing electronic albums and character products.

It can also be stored immediately using a digital information device.

In addition, according to the Internet personal body image storage kiosk system according to the present invention, it is possible to collectively manage and operate a plurality of kiosk systems through a network to reduce the cost required for management and operation, and to develop a kiosk system with a developed self-update program. Kiosk management software, which is self-made, will be provided to make it easy to apply and update. In addition, the server system that connects the kiosk system to the web server through the network allows the consumer to receive the image generated by the kiosk system and transmit it through the Internet so that the consumer can easily transmit the image to his or her mobile phone or another person's mobile phone. Provides a system that can and can send images to their specified email address. In addition, by establishing a database of users in the server system, and in addition to the existing payment method using coins or banknotes, by adopting a payment method using a mobile phone and other cards, consumers can make payments in various ways. Make this convenient.
