Background Art

[3] As technique relating computer develops, means for reproducing information appreciated by a user's seeing, hearing, and speaking function are being spotlighted. Especially, an electronic book using a computer is replacing a paper book for transmitting information by using a printed medium.

[4] Many methods for converting information such as a text or a picture printed on a plane into speech or sound without using a computer have been proposed, which were ineffective due to a high fabrication cost and an impractical aspect.

[5] For an instance, a book for the blind (detected by a touch feeling) and a scanning method (detected by a predetermined tool such as a bar code) are being much utilized, which are not widely used due to a high fabrication cost and a difficult usage process.

[6] According to the scanning method, a specific mark or a character has to be printed with a limitation in size (not to exceed a scanning range of a scanner) and in a written shape (a cursive character). Also, it is inconvenient in that specific marks and dots should be printed and more precise scanning is necessary.

[7] According to an electronic book for coding an image disclosed in a Korean Utility

Model registered with No. 036146, a mark should be printed by using a specific printing ink, and the printed mark may overlap another color, accordingly the mark may not be easily recognized. Furthermore, since an additional supplementary device for keeping a printed product is required, a user has a difficulty in universally using and easily carrying the electronic book. Besides, there is limitations in size and material of a printed product. Disclosure of Invention

[43] Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[45] The present invention provides a character location information digital code printing method, a method for generating a digital code for converting character location information into sound information, a printed product produced by using the method, and an apparatus for recognizing a printed product having a digital code therein for converting a character location information into sound information.

[46] A method for generating coordinate according to the present invention will be explained.

[47] In order to reproducing sound or moving image from a picture or a text to be implemented, a picture, a text or a moving image of a printed poster or booklet, or information of any medium inputted of which printable plane of any material rather than paper, it is necessary to make location information corresponding to the information.

[48] The location information is obtained by presetting specific coordinate, which requires a dot coordinate for generating location information of a printed product, page information and other required information.

[49] The coordinate is generated with consideration of its size, its shape, and a method for arranging information. The coordinate is preset so as not to generate errors when recognized, and has to be distinguished from general printed information.

[50] Also, a size of the coordinate is determined with a highest density having the most utilization degree in a general printing method so as to maintain the highest recognition condition by considering a size, a focal distance, and a recognizable range of a camera of an inputting unit of the recognizing apparatus.

[51] As shown in FIG. 2, a size of a coordinate that can be printed according to a currently used printing method is 8~24μ(lμ: 1/lOOOmm). However, since a size of the coordinate that can be recognizable by human's eyes is approximately 0.1mm, specific coordinate information has to be inserted within the range of 0.1mm.

[52] A widely used printing density is within a range of 1,200 DPI~3,000 DPI which represents that 1,200-3,000 dots can be printed per each one inch in horizontal and vertical directions, and within a range of 120 LPI- 180 LPI which represents that 120-180 lines can be printed per each one inch in horizontal and vertical directions. Preferably, the most widely used printing density is 1,200 DPI and 150 LPI.

[53] Under an assumption that a printing density is 1,200 DPI, 4 dots can be printed within a range of 0.1mm, and 16 dots can be printed in two lines within a range of 0.4mm².

[54] In the present invention, since information of 32 BITs is enough with consideration of the maximum number of coordinate to be printed, a minimum size of a recognizable coordinate is set to be 0.4mm and data is processed with information of 32 BITs.

[55] Preferably, information has to be formed in a circular shape or a diamond shape so as to be correctly detected according to a gradient or a recognizing direction of the camera of the apparatus. If specific information for distinguishing a starting point and an ending point of information from each other is required, an amount of entire information is influenced. Accordingly, a method for making a triangular information group and arranging substantial information at right and lower edges of the group is disclosed, thereby correctly recognizing information in all directions. An example of coordinate information is shown in FIG. 3.

[56] By the above method, nine(9) identical information can be arranged within a range of 1.2mm . Also, one information can be correctly detected at any position or any direction by forming a focus of the recognizing apparatus in a circular shape of 1.2mm

[57] A method for generating coordinate on a printed product will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. First, data of a printed product to be printed on a book (two-dimensional plane) is converted into an image file (PDF). Then, the PDF image file is converted into a BMP image file by lowering a resolution into 75dpi that can be implemented on a computer screen. Herein, each data region of the printed product is set in the BMP image file, and then is sequentially allotted with numbers.

[58] Coordinate of the printed product is set by sequentially setting page information, horizontal information, and vertical information. For instance, the characters of CAR in FIG. 4 is numbered as a first 1 of a first page, and the image of the car is then numbered as a second of the first page, which is coded as a coordinate (e.g., 001001, 001002, ...).

[59] Herein, the data edited in the book is not directly converted into an image but is converted into an image after being converted into a PDF image file. The reason is that character shape or images may be changed according to a program when the data is directly converted into an image. By an additional converting process, more precise image files may be obtained.

[60] The generated BMP image file is stored in a word, a sentence, or a picture on a corresponding page by sequentially inputting each code (e.g., 001001) with using a code program. Herein, a file for outputting coordinate is generated by sequentially obtaining the codes when the sentence or the picture is printed (refer to FIG. 6).

[61] Another method for replacing coordinate information by Unicode information by matching the Unicode information of character with the coordinate information. According to the method, the object of the present invention may be obtained by recognizing character information of a general printed product without additional coordinate information.

[62] A method for printing coordinate according to the present invention will be explained.

[63] General ink printed on a two-dimensional plane contains a carbon according to each color. Coordinate information is printed by combining each color and a printing order.

[64] For instance, when coordinate information is to be printed by using a white color having a carbon, the white color has to be firstly printed so as not to influence on another color. Herein, another ink may overlap the white color thus to degrade a recognizing degree.

[65] When coordinate information is to be printed by using a black color having a carbon, the black color has to be used by being distinguished from a general black ink. As the general black ink, black ink having no carbon is used.

[66] The general black ink is obtained by combining three primary colors of the general ink by using a principle that black is obtained by combining three primary colors.

[67] It is preferable to print a coordinate with a concentration less than 5% so as not to influence on another color. However, when a printing concentration is less than 3%, printing is not entirely performed on paper. Accordingly, it is preferable to maintain a printing concentration as 5% -3% and to print a coordinate last thereby to implement a printing having the best recognition quality.

[68] A method for generating voice and moving image data according to the present invention will be explained.

[69] As shown in FIG. 6, voice and moving image data are respectively cut so as to be matched with each allocated code to generate location coordinates. Then, each data is allocated with a file name (e.g., 0001. wav), and is added to each other thus to generate one file. The file is made into digital data by using a specific program (sound forge/ 2003 of SONY), and is compressed in correspondence to a memory unit. Then, the file is stored in the memory unit. If the compression is too much performed, an amount of data is decreased but a characteristic of the original sound is lost thus to become a mechanical sound. On the contrary, if the compression is too less performed, the characteristic of the original sound is maintained but the amount of data is increased. Accordingly, the compression has to be performed with the best ratio.

[70] In the present invention, sound is compressed by applying the best ratio, in which an amount of sound information and a capacitance of a memory unit are used without using a specific ratio.

[71] The printed product having the digital code therein is outputted by being converted into sound information through an additional recognizing apparatus for recognizing the digital code.

[72] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the apparatus 10 for recognizing character location data digital code of a printed product includes: an inputting unit 20 including a camera 22 having a precise CMOS optical lens connected to an IC circuit and automatically controlling a focal distance when recognizing a coordinate, and three LEDs 24 arranged in a triangular shape on the basis of the camera 22, for receiving text or data by recognizing only a carbon component printed on the location coordinate, which is reflected onto the camera by the LEDs;

[73] a controlling unit 30 including a memory unit 32 previously storing information which voice or moving image corresponding to a data file of the coordinate is compressed and digitalized into, a central processing unit 31 for transmitting matched information to the apparatus 10 by comparing information obtained from the inputting unit 20 with information of the memory unit 32, an external inputting unit 35 having a plurality of control buttons for controlling the central processing unit 31, a power connection terminal 34 connected to a built-in battery or an external power, and a power switch 33 for supplying power to each unit; and

[74] an outputting unit 40 including a speaker or an ear-phone jack for reproducing digital information into sound according to a signal generated from the central processing unit 31, and a wireless moving image transmitter for transmitting moving image information to a display of an additional computer or TV by using a wireless frequency.

[75] File information relating to data such as a word, a sentence or a picture printed onto a corresponding page of a product on which character location information digital code is printed is recognized by the camera 22 of the inputting unit 20, and sound or moving image of the recognized coordinate is outwardly outputted by the outputting unit 40.

[76] The inputting unit 20 of the recognizing apparatus 10 has to be controlled so that a size of the LED, an intensity of light, and a focal distance of the camera may be consistent to each other. Light generated from the LED has to be safely protected so as not to influence on peripheral light. When a printed portion of the coordinate is selected thus to receive light from the LED, only a carbon component is reflected thus to read only the coordinate information by the camera lens.

[77] It should be noted that the three LEDs have to be attached to one another in a triangular shape so as to correctly detect central information by the inputting unit even if light is intensively incident to any direction. Herein, three lights have to be concentrated onto the center.

[78] If only two LEDs are implemented at right and left sides, data of the center where light is concentrated is detected only when the camera is perpendicular to the printed product or inclined in right and left directions. If the camera is inclined in upper and lower directions, a focus is not aimed at the center thus not to detect information correctly.

[79] As shown in FIG. 12, right and left inclinations of the camera is not influenced on a recognizable range of the camera, whereas the upper and lower inclinations of the camera make a recognizable range of the camera to be blurred thus to cause information to be incorrectly detected.

[80] As shown in FIG. 13, even if the camera of the inputting unit is inclined in upper, lower, right and left directions, a recognizable degree of the camera for the center is not influenced thus to detect a coordinate correctly.

[81] In the recognizing apparatus 10, the inputting unit for reading a coordinate, the memory unit in which voice or moving image is pre-stored after being compressed, the speaker or an earphone-jack for reproducing digital information into sound, the wireless moving image transmitter for transmitting moving image information to a display of an additional computer or TV by using a wireless frequency are integrally formed. Accordingly, the recognizing apparatus 10 can be conveniently carried by a user.

[82] The external inputting unit 35 connected to the controlling unit 30 of the recognizing apparatus 10 may further implement several functions by using a plurality of on/off switches that can be controlled from outside.

[83] The switches of the external inputting unit 35 may consist of a repeating button for transmitting outputting outputted information, a translating button for transmitting a memory corresponding to an address when a function switch is operated by further storing symmetrical voice information into the memory unit (English-> Korean, or Korean-> English) when storing voice information into the memory unit, and an entire hearing button for transmitting all voice information stored in the memory unit completely.

[84] In the present invention, a digital code can be read by a user's eyes whenever and wherever by invisibly printing dot coordinates on the two-dimensional plane without deforming the original form of the printed product.

[85] Furthermore, code coordinates implemented as sound or moving image data on a two-dimensional plane such as paper that can be printed is printed. Then, the code coordinate is detected by the recognizing apparatus, and information corresponding to the recognized coordinate is converted into a three-dimensional sound by the recognizing apparatus. Accordingly, the user can be simultaneously provided with three functions, i.e., seeing, hearing, and reading functions. The recognizing apparatus can reproduce sound and moving image real time by being connected to an additional speaker and an additional display.

[86] In the present invention, not only the conventional paper but also all kinds of printed products can be made to be digitalized by containing a multimedia function (sound and image) without deforming the original form of the printed product.

[87] The recognizing apparatus of the present invention can be applied to various fields such as an education field, a publishing field, a newspaper/magazine field, company/ public office advertising field, tour informing/guiding field, and a pamphlet for a blind person or the old having a bad eyesight. The recognizing apparatus is conveniently used and is easily carried due to its small size and simple structure, thereby being widely used as a studying supplementary device.

[88] In the conventional art, a bar code is scanned to be recognized, and audio service is implemented by a multimedia device for outwardly outputting digital information. However, in the present invention, a digital code is invisibly dot-printed onto all kinds of printed products, thereby implementing the same printed product without deforming the original form of the conventional printed product. Accordingly, the conventional printed product can be edited within a short time with using the conventional edition data and master sound. Furthermore, a recognizing film has only to be added to a printing film, and an additional printing cost for one degree and sound processing cost are required when a printing process is performed, thus to reduce a fabrication cost.

[89] Furthermore, the recognizing apparatus for recognizing digital code by performing dot-printing on a two-dimensional plane by one degree, and by converting into a digital code, provides text information auditorily through a speaker or a head-phone mounted therein. Also, the recognizing apparatus has a scanning function, a multimedia (sound) service function, a translating function, and a repeating function therein, thereby providing visual and auditory service on a printed product real time. Accordingly, the recognizing apparatus enhances a studying effect, enables blind persons, illiterate persons, or old persons having a bad-eyesight to read the printed product by using their auditory senses, and enables a communication between persons using different languages.

[90] Furthermore, adolescents and adults can have a recognizing apparatus designed to be conveniently carried and to perform various functions, and can be provided with additional functions such as a scanning function, a voice service function, a translation function, an MP3, and a Bluetooth according to a user's demand.
