Description

Specification

Information communication terminal, information distribution server, information transmission system and information transmission program

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to an information communication terminal, an information distribution server, an information transmission system, and an information transmission program that realize a high-speed information reading operation and an increase in data transmission amount by distribution code scanning.

Background art

[0002] The one-dimensional barcode of Fig. 1 printed on printed matter or the like and the two-dimensional code of Fig. 32 (hereinafter, these distribution codes are referred to as "distribution codes") are often used in the market. The specific bar code, JAN standards, standard ITF specifications, CODE-128 standard, CODE-39 standard, co Daba (丽- ₇₎ refers to five bar code standards. In Japan, the JAN distribution code is well known. JAN distribution code is an abbreviation of "Japanese Article Number" and has the meaning of common product distribution code. It was standardized by JIS (JIS_X0501) in 1978, and has been marked on most products currently distributed due to the spread of POS systems.

[0003] The JAN distribution code is characterized by being a low-cost symbol that can be used to identify a single item with a unique number internationally and that can be printed using conventional packaging materials and ink. That the reading operation by the device is easy. The two-dimensional code is a code that has been improved and developed to increase the amount of information in the barcode and make it difficult to duplicate it. It has about 30 times the amount of information compared to the barcode. In the domestic market, a total of 15 types are introduced, but the maintenance is behind the barcodes, and there is a need for unification and standardization.

[0004] As a system using a distribution code, a POS system based on the JAN distribution code in the 1970s has been expanded to a distribution management system for packaging units based on an ITF distribution code in the 1980s, and the UCC / EAN128 standard has been used since the late 1990s. Appeared, and application standards were established in many fields. The Distribution System Development Center, “Registration of Distribution Codes” (Internet URL: http: httpwww.dsri-dcc.ip />), has a power to write about this standard. is there. In addition, a distribution code scanning device from a long distance using a laser scanner or the like has been developed.

[0005] However, in the conventional distribution code system, there is a limit to the amount of data that can be used due to the distribution code standard and the like. For this reason, a method of printing a plurality of distribution codes on a print medium or preparing and reading a plurality of distribution code print media has been adopted. However, in this method, when reading distribution codes manually, it is necessary to move the scanner one by one for each distribution code printed or displayed at a different location. As a result, the time required to move the scanner device has been an obstacle to quickly reading a large number of distribution codes. Furthermore, since the distribution code print medium is mostly paper, the amount of data that can be transmitted has been limited due to the spatial constraints on the paper (first problem).

[0006] In addition, if a plurality of distribution codes are present, mistakes often occur in the scanning angle and order when manually scanning, and a means for preventing this is required. For this reason, the scanner device is equipped with a module that scans distribution codes from all angles and a program that can accurately read distribution codes even when there are a plurality of distribution codes. However, when there is a large amount of information to be scanned, the processing time of this module or program has also caused a delay in information transmission (second problem).

[0007] Conventionally, when performing a manual scan, the scanner device user reads one distribution code from a certain position, and then moves the reading position by moving a wrist or the like to a reading position of the next distribution code. Considering the travel time and the complexity of manual processing, the distribution codes had to be printed with an average of about four distribution codes arranged in parallel at close positions. That is, the amount of information transmitted by the distribution code is limited, and the printing medium for displaying information and the printing position on the printing medium are also limited (third problem).

[0008] In the conventional JAN standard distribution code, there is also a problem that the distribution code is printed, so that it can be easily duplicated (fourth problem).

[0009] Furthermore, when viewing only the distribution code, it is difficult for ordinary users to understand what the numbers and symbols mean (fifth problem). Disclosure of the invention

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, a display device, a scanner device, and an information processor according to a fifteenth embodiment of the present invention will be described. An information transmission system using a processing device and an information distribution server will be described. It should be noted that the devices, methods, and the like used in the embodiments of the present invention are merely examples, and it is a matter of course that the present invention is not limited to these.

[0022] (Transmission of distribution code)

An information transmission system according to a fifteenth embodiment of the present invention includes an information terminal having a display device for displaying a distribution code, and a scanner device. A distribution code having desired information is displayed on the display device, and the information is transmitted by optically reading the distribution code by the scanner device.

The greatest feature of the present invention is that a medium for displaying a distribution code and transmitting information on the distribution code is a plurality of images generated by a program. Further, the plurality of distribution code images are replaced with the next screen at regular intervals. This image display time is determined according to the accuracy and speed of image reading by the scanner device. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, information is transmitted using four images every 0.1 second. During this reading operation, the operator of the scanner device may fix the scanner at a fixed position on the image of the display device as shown in FIG.

Further, in FIG. 5, the force using four images is generated by the program as described above, so that it can be generated indefinitely. In other words, the number of distribution codes used for information transmission has been about four so far because of the burden on the operator in the reading process, the time required for the reading process, and the occurrence of errors in the reading process. However, when a plurality of distribution code images can be read by fixing the scanner device as in the present invention, the time required for the reading process is only the scanning time, and there is no mistake in the reading process. For this reason, the amount of information that can be transmitted can be increased indefinitely. To speed up the reading process without having to install a program that correctly rearranges the reading order when there is a multi-distribution code as in the past or when there is an operation error during reading by the operator, and be able to.

[0025] The distribution code may be the bar code in Fig. 5 or the two-dimensional code in Fig. 32. In the case of the bar code, however, a scanner for reading the distribution code which is currently widely used in the market is used. It can be used, but in the case of two-dimensional codes, a dedicated It is necessary to mount a pre-case.

[0026] Further, at the same time as the distribution code, an image of a pictogram related to the distribution code is displayed as shown in Fig. 34, and is visually recognized by the user to help the user understand the meaning of the distribution code. Security can be improved.

As the pictogram image, for example, when the distribution code has information on a movie ticket, a pictogram image as shown in FIG. 33A related to the movie ticket is displayed. This allows the user to know the type of movie, the location of the theater and the location of the seat when displaying the distribution code information. Similarly, when the distribution code has information on the discount coupon, a pictographic image as shown in FIG. 33B related to the discount coupon is displayed, or when the distribution code has company information, Display an emoji image related to the company as shown in Figure 33C.

[0028] When the distribution code is used as HD information, a face photograph of a person related to the HD information is displayed as shown in Fig. 33D. This allows the ID verifier to confirm that the person holding the display device 2 that displays the information is the legitimate owner of the ID information, thereby preventing the distribution code data from being copied or tampered with, and ensuring security. Can be increased.

[0029] The pictogram image is not limited to the above, and as other examples, a credit card image as shown in Fig. 35A in the case of showing a flow code relating to a credit card, an image of a hologram of a credit card, a stamp card, and the like. Image of a stamp card as shown in Fig. 35B when the distribution code is shown, and the remaining number of images as shown in Fig. 35C when the distribution code is acquired or the number of pachinko or mileage acquired, characters and sign language, etc. Images such as those shown in Figs. 36A, 36B, 36C, and 36D showing the operation of the gesture and the like are given. It is also possible to continuously display images showing the operations of FIGS. 36A, 36B, 36C and 36D and display them as frame-by-frame moving images.

(Operation of Information Transmission System)

Next, the operation of the distribution code information transmission by the information transmission system 100 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

(A) First, in step S101, the information communication terminal 1 receives a distribution code and data serving as a basis for pictograms related to the distribution code from the input device 16 or the wireless device 14 in FIG. Store in the storage device 12. As a method of receiving data, there are input data reception from a keyboard via the input device 16, reception from an external storage device such as a memory stick, reception of packet data via the wireless device 14, and the like. The pictorial character-added distribution code data management means 10b of FIG. 2 stores the received distribution code and the data that is the basis of the pictogram in the distribution code storage device 12 with pictograms.

(B) In step S102, in accordance with a user's input operation from the input device 16, the distribution code with pictogram generation means 10c acquires the distribution code data and the pictogram data from the distribution code with pictogram storage device 12, Generate as a distribution code with pictograms. The number of generated distribution codes is determined by the amount of information to be transmitted. In generating the distribution code, for example, when generating the distribution code based on the JAN13 standard, the colors described in the table of FIG. 8 are displayed in combination. The distribution code is configured as shown in Figure 9 and the left It consists of a gin, left guard bar, 4 digits for left odd characters, center, 3 digits for right even characters, 1 digit check digit, right guard bar, and right margin. Left and right margins, left guard bar, right guard bar and center are fixed by regulation. The left odd character, right even character, and check digit are one digit of the check digit, and one check digit is used to calculate the left odd character and right even character, and to represent the numerical value of the calculation result. Is done. The actual number of digits that can be used is seven, and these seven digits carry specific information. At this time, the characters that can be used are only “0”-“9”.

[0045] The dynamic switching timing of distribution codes is a force that is used at present. The LCD screen and CRT screen used at present change the screen at a period of about 1/60 second. On the other hand, the scanner device can read the distribution code of :! According to this, in order to make it possible to read a plurality of dynamic distribution code displays even in the current scanner device, it is preferable to switch the display to the least common multiple of both times, which is about 1/10 second. It is appropriate. There is no restriction on the maximum display time because the scanner does not read the same data multiple times. However, from an operational standpoint, the distribution code display cycle is preferably about 0.1-0.5 seconds.

In step S102, the plurality of generated distribution code data and pictogram data are displayed on the display device 2 by the switching display control unit 10f according to the set switching speed, as shown in FIG. At this time, the user or the like understands the information held by the distribution code which is simultaneously displayed by the displayed pictogram.

(C) In step S103, the scanner device 3 reads the distribution code displayed on the display device 2. As a reading procedure, as shown in FIG. 10, the LED 31 for the light source in FIG. 3 irradiates the pulsed light onto the distribution code, and the mirror 32 reflects this light. The reflected light is inverted by the lens 33, and the inverted reflected light is received by the CCD image sensor as an image. Further, the distribution code reading means 30a in FIG. 4 scans the image received by the CCD image sensor 34 from end to end to acquire an analog waveform. Furthermore, the analog waveform is AZD converted to obtain a digital waveform. This digital waveform is decoded according to the rules. (D) In step S104, the decoded information is analyzed by the analysis means 30b of FIG. 4, and stored in the main storage device 30d. Alternatively, in step S105, the analysis data transmitting means 30c communicates as read data to an external device by RS-232C (code 35 in FIG. 3) or the like.

There are various methods for analyzing the information decoded by the analysis means 30b in step S104, and two specific examples will be described below.

[0050] As a first specific example, when a general distribution code is repeatedly displayed on the display device 2 as it is, as shown in Fig. 11, a fixed waiting time is provided for each cycle and transmission is repeated. There is a method. This will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

(A) First, in step S201, the CPU 30 of FIG. 4 waits without reading until detecting the identifier indicating the waiting time of the distribution code.

(B) When the waiting time is detected in step S202, the distribution code reading means 30a of the CPU 30 reads the decoded data to be transmitted and registers it in the register area of the CPU 30 as shown in FIG. In step S203, it is determined whether or not the next read data is “wait time” data, and the decoded data to be transmitted is registered in the register until the next wait time data is read.

[0053] (c) In step S204, when all of the decoded data set is read and the next waiting time data is read, the analysis data transmitting means 30c reads the data as the read data by using the code 35 in Fig. 3 or the like. Communication output to outside.

As a second specific example, there is a method of embedding header information in a distribution code to be displayed on the display device 2 and removing unnecessary data after receiving data by the scanner device 3 based on the header information. . As the header information, as shown in FIG. 14A, data for notifying the number of distribution codes on which the transmission data is based is transmitted before the transmission data. In this case, the upper two digits are set to “00” indicating the number data, and the next upper two digits are set to the number of distribution codes. For example, when transmitting four pieces of data, it is configured as “000400000 ····”. In the upper two digits of each transmission data, "01"-"04" or the like is set to indicate the order. This will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

(A) First, in step S301, the distribution code reading means 30a of FIG. Read the data. In step S302, the upper two digits of the transmission data are read and stored in the distribution code storage register (see FIG. 16A) of the CPU 30 corresponding to the two digits.

(B) Next, in step S303, it is determined whether the read two-digit data is “00”, that is, whether or not the read data is the number data. If it is not data, the process proceeds to step S306.

(C) In step S304, the upper 34 digits of the number data are obtained, and the number of image data to be registered is obtained. In step S305, this number data is stored in the area of the number storage register of the CPU 30 as shown in FIG. 16B.

(D) In step S306, it is determined whether or not the number information has been registered in the number storage register. If registered, the flow advances to step S307 to determine whether or not all image data has been registered in the distribution code storage register. For example, in FIG. 16A, the upper two digits are "01" "02" "03" "04" Judge whether the data of "has been registered. If the registration has not been completed, the process returns to step S301, and the operations from S301 to S306 are repeated until all of the number data and other image data are registered in the register.

(E) If all the data in the register has been registered, the process proceeds to step S308, and the analysis data transmitting means 30c in FIG. 4 reads the distribution code data information (see FIG. 14B) as read data. It is output to the outside by the code 35 of 3, etc.

(Example)

The information transmission from the display device 2 of the information communication terminal 1 described in the first embodiment to the scanner device 3 and the information transmission from the conventional distribution code on paper to the scanner device are performed, and the information is transmitted by the two devices. Comparing the transmission volume and the transmission processing speed, the experimental results shown in the table in Fig. 17 were obtained. From this table, it can be seen that for any number of distribution codes, the display device 2 performs transmission processing at a higher speed than the paper medium. The processing speed for four distribution codes is 1.62 seconds for paper and 0.6 seconds for display devices, and the processing speed for 12 distribution codes is paper. "5.51 seconds" and "1.8 seconds" for a display device. In other words, as the number of distribution codes increases, the difference in the processing speed becomes remarkable.

[0061] Display device, scanner device, and information transmission system according to the first embodiment of the present invention According to the method described above, it is possible to read a plurality of distribution code data at one place at a time by moving the distribution code reading location in accordance with the reading process of the scanner device. Furthermore, since the distribution code on the display device does not have a spatial limitation unlike the distribution code on paper or the like, any number of distribution codes can be displayed, and the amount of data to be transmitted can be increased indefinitely. The reading sequence error caused by manual operation of the scanner device and the time required for reading can be reduced, and the speed of data transmission can be increased. Since multiple distribution codes are dynamically switched on the display device, copying is not easy.Moreover, during repeated display of distribution codes, pictograms related to distribution codes that can be understood by ordinary users can be visually recognized. The user can understand the meaning of the distribution code and give the user a sense of security.

(Operation of Information Transmission System)

Next, the operation of distribution code information transmission by the information transmission system 200 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

(A) First, in step S401, the information communication terminal la receives the distribution code and the data on which the pictogram is based from the input device 16 or the wireless device 14 in FIG. I do. The pictographic distribution code data managing means 10b of FIG. 2 stores the received distribution code and the data that is the basis of the pictogram in the pictographic distribution code storage device 12. Time obtaining means 1 Od obtains the current time from the clock device 11.

(B) In step S402, the distribution code with pictogram generation means 10c acquires the distribution code data acquired from the distribution code storage apparatus with pictogram 12 from the clock device 11 in accordance with the user's input operation from the input device 16. If the current time is X, for example, 16:50 on August 8, 2003, the numerical data of “200308081650” is calculated, and a distribution code is generated by encrypting these data. For the encryption, for example, as shown in FIG. 23, a well-known public key method or secret key method key is used. The number of generated distribution codes is determined by the amount of information to be transmitted. To generate a distribution code, a distribution code is generated based on, for example, the JAN13 standard. The display cycle of the distribution code image is preferably about 0.1-0.5 seconds. In step S403, the generated distribution code images are displayed on the display device 2 at the set switching speed.

(C) In step S404, the information processing device 4 acquires information of the distribution code image displayed on the display device 2a via the scanner device 3a. The reading procedure by the scanner device 3a has been described in step S104 of FIG. In step S405, the data decoding means 46a of FIG. 21 decodes the read data. Step S4 In 06, the internal time obtaining means 46b obtains the current time ijY from the internal clock device 48.

(D) In step S407, the determination means 46c compares the current time X of the information communication terminal 1 with the current time Y of the information processing device 4. At this time, if the time X and the time Y are within 5 minutes, for example, the process proceeds to step S408, where the data is analyzed as usual, and the data is stored in the storage device 47 (step S409). If it is 5 minutes or longer, it is determined that there is a possibility that the data has been copied, and the process is stopped in step S410, and the distribution code is discarded.

According to the display device, the scanner device, the information processing device, and the information transmission system according to the second embodiment of the present invention, by moving the distribution code reading location in accordance with the reading process of the scanner device, Distribution code data can be read at once from a single location. Furthermore, since the distribution code on the display device does not have a spatial limitation unlike the distribution code on paper or the like, any number of distribution codes can be displayed, and the amount of data to be transmitted can be increased without limit. The reading order mistaken by the scanner device and the time required for reading are reduced, and the speed of data transmission can be increased. Multiple distribution codes are dynamically switched on the display device and time-based encryption processing prevents unauthorized duplication and alteration of the distribution codes and ensures that the information held by the distribution codes is protected. .

[0077] (Modification example)

Although the time information is used in the encryption processing according to the second embodiment, the time information may be, for example, a one-time pin generated by a random number.

The information processing device 4 includes a one-time pin generation unit 46f and a one-time pin acquisition unit 46g in addition to the device shown in FIG. 21 (not shown). In the following, the operation of the 喑-匕匕 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

(A) First, in step S501, when the distribution code image is displayed on the display device 2 and the image is read by the scanner device 3a, the one-time pin acquisition means 10h of the information communication terminal la receives the input One-time by keyboard input from the user via the device 16 Get a pin. This one-time pin is an appropriate number of digits generated by the one-time pin generation means 46f of the information processing device 4 as shown in FIG. 24, for example, a four-digit number "1234". It is assumed that In step S502, the one-time pin encryption unit 10g encrypts this numerical data by including it in the distribution code data to be transmitted. The encrypted distribution code data is displayed on the display device 2 as a distribution code image (step S503).

(B) In step S504, the information processing device 4 obtains distribution code data, which has been decoded from the distribution code image on the display device 2b, via the scanner device 3a. In step S505, the data decoding means 46a decodes the data. In step S506, the one-time pin acquisition unit 46g acquires the one-time pin “1234” displayed on the display device 43 of the information processing device 4.

(D) In step S507, the determination means 46c determines whether the one-time pin of the information communication terminal la and the one-time pin of the information processing device 4 are the same. At this time, if the one-time pins are the same, the process proceeds to step S508, the data is analyzed as usual, and the data is stored in the storage device 47 (step S509). If the one-time pins are not the same, it is determined that a copy or the like may have occurred, and the process is stopped in step S510, and the distribution code is discarded.

By performing the above-described encryption processing using the one-time pin, it is possible to prevent unauthorized duplication, modification, and the like of the distribution code, and to reliably protect information and the like held by the distribution code.
