Description

COLOR DIAGNOSIS DEVICE AND INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM

The present invention relates to a color diagnostic apparatus, an information recording medium, and the like.

Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2006-331344 (Patent Document 1 below) discloses a color diagnosis method capable of performing color diagnosis of clothing when a Japanese wears clothing in accordance with Japanese traditional aesthetics. ing.

The color diagnosis method described in this document analyzes captured head information (input image) into RGB. Then, RGB is converted into the HSB color mode, and a predetermined color is added as a recommended color.

Here, there are various colors that are output as the recommended color even if they are the same red color. For example, the colors of “blood color” and “dusk” may be similar in color, but their effects on deep psychology vary greatly. Furthermore, the “color of young shoots” and “color of leaves that withered” may be similar, but the seasonal feelings given to deep psychology differ greatly. However, just by outputting a color, the user cannot accurately grasp the psychological effect of the output color and the seasonal feeling indicated by the color. Such a problem also occurs when color diagnosis is performed based on input information such as a questionnaire instead of an input image.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2006-331344

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a color diagnostic apparatus capable of outputting information on color seasons and psychological effects output as a result of color diagnosis performed based on input information such as a questionnaire. It is another object of the present invention to provide a computer-readable information recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as a color diagnosis apparatus that performs color diagnosis based on an input image.

The present invention basically relates to a color diagnostic apparatus including a color database (7) and color selection means for selecting a color based on inputted questionnaire information. The color database (7) has a seasonal table in which colors are classified and systematized according to seasons, and a psychological table in which colors are classified and systematized according to psychological effects. Here, the questionnaire information includes information on the date of birth or input date. Then, the color selection means selects the color from the seasonal table using the date information included in the questionnaire information, and reads the information about the psychological effect related to the selected color from the psychological table using the information about the selected color. . That is, the color diagnosis apparatus reads out information related to the psychological efficacy related to the selected color from the psychological table using the color selected by the color selection means. Thereby, the color diagnosis apparatus can output the information regarding the season of the color which the color selection means selected based on the questionnaire information, and the psychological effect. As a result, the user can accurately grasp the psychological effect of the selected color and the seasonal feeling indicated by the color.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a color diagnostic apparatus that can output information on color seasons and psychological effects that are output as a result of color diagnosis performed based on input information such as a questionnaire.

Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the form described below is an example, and can be appropriately modified within a range obvious to those skilled in the art.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the basic configuration of the color diagnostic apparatus of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the color diagnostic apparatus (1) of the present invention includes an input means (2), a color database (7), a color selection means (8), and an output means (11). In FIG. 1, reference numeral 4 denotes a computer. The dotted line indicates the inside of the computer (4). The computer (4) has an input / output device, an arithmetic device, a control device, and a storage device, each connected by a bus or the like. As a result, information can be exchanged. A main memory of the storage device stores a computer-readable information recording medium such as a CD-ROM storing a control program. When information is input from the input device, the control unit reads out the control program as appropriate, reads out information stored in the storage device as appropriate, according to the instructions of the control program, and performs calculations in the arithmetic device. Then, the calculation result is appropriately stored in the storage device and output from the output device. That is, the present invention also provides a program for functioning as an apparatus including at least the color database (7) and the color selection means (8), and a computer-readable information recording medium storing such a program. .

The input means (2) is a means for the user to input information to the color diagnostic apparatus (1). The input means (2) is not particularly limited as long as it can input an answer to a questionnaire described later as questionnaire information. Examples of the input means (2) include a keyboard and various buttons. The input means (2) may be composed of a scanner and an image analyzing means. In this case, the scanner reads the answer sheet of the questionnaire as image data, and the image analyzing means analyzes the image data. By doing so, the answer to the questionnaire is acquired.

The questionnaire includes questions that ask the user about the date of birth. Therefore, the questionnaire information that is an answer to the questionnaire includes information about the date of birth. The questionnaire may ask questions about the input date instead of the date of birth.

The color database (7) has at least a seasonal table that classifies and organizes colors according to seasons, and a psychological table that classifies and organizes colors according to psychological effects.

The seasonal table stores seasonal indices and seasonal information in association with indices in which each color is quantified by hue. The seasonal index is a numerical value of the season indicated by the color. For example, one year is divided into four, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, which is further divided into six modes, and each mode is divided into five days. Since the season goes around, for example, one year is arranged in a unit circle in the XY space, and each season, each air saving, and each weather are expressed by an angle θ from the origin. For example, θ = 0 is set to be the first day, and colors are classified and systematized based on natural features. Then, for example, the angle is different for each day of the season. And the angle according to the day will be shaken to the color which symbolizes a certain day. For example, the color of the sky on January 10 may be stored with an angle of 10 degrees indicating a sense of the season. In addition, for example, a seasonal index may be provided for each RGB. Moreover, when evaluating a seasonal index, for example, a seasonal index may be placed on a unit circle and the distance may be used for evaluation. In this way, for example, the color indicating December 31 and the color indicating January 2 can be evaluated so as to have a close seasonal feeling. Information such as “spring” may be used as seasonal information.

Fig. 2 shows an example of a seasonal table. In this example, the season is divided into 4 seasons, 24 verses, and 72 weathers. These are seasonal indicators and may be seasonal information. Each color has an ID indicating the color, an index numerically expressed by Lab, an index numerically expressed by CMYK, and an index numerically expressed by RGB, and the corresponding four seasons, verse 24, and 72 are assigned. ing. As a result, for example, it is possible to perform an evaluation such that the color indicating autumn is greatly different from the color indicating spring. In other words, when the colors included in the input image are expressed by indices quantified for each region, and the seasons are read out, the regions deviating from the seasonal distribution can be grasped.

The psychological table stores a psychological index and psychological effect information (psychological efficacy) in association with an index obtained by quantifying each color by hue. The psychological index is a numerical value of the psychological efficacy indicated by the color. For example, by classifying and organizing the meaning of each color based on the characteristics of nature, the meaning of each color based on the word origin of each color, the flower language of the plant, the seasonal word, cultural and historical background, Psychological effect information can be obtained. A psychological index and psychological effect information may be stored for each hue such as RGB. Psychological indicators can also be several, such as urban or pastoral, passionate or calm, dynamic or static, recommended or contraindicated, associated with early morning or late at night. It may have a numerical value on the coordinates. This psychological table may be provided in the same table as the above-described seasonal table. For example, the psychological index only needs to have a value of −1 to 1.

The color selection means (8) is a means for selecting a color based on the inputted questionnaire information. The color selection means (8) selects a color from the season table using date information included in the questionnaire information, and displays information on the selected color. Used to read out information about the psychological efficacy related to the selected color from the psychological table. For example, if the date information included in the inputted questionnaire information is related to October 23rd, the color selection means (8) selects “Tokiwa Color” from the seasonal table and from the psychological table to the Tokiwa Color. Reads information about the psychological efficacy of “strong”, “good”, etc.

The output means (11) outputs information including seasonal information about the color and psychological effect information. Specifically, since information including seasonal information and psychological effect information is stored in a buffer or the like, the information is read and output to a monitor or the like.

As described above, the color diagnosis apparatus (1) uses the color selected by the color selection means (8) to read out information on the psychological efficacy regarding the selected color from the psychological table, and the color selection means (8) Information regarding the season of the selected color and the psychological effect can be output by the output means (11). That is, the color diagnosis apparatus (1) can display information regarding the season of color and the psychological efficacy output as a result of color diagnosis performed based on input information such as a questionnaire. As a result, the user can accurately grasp the psychological effect of the selected color and the seasonal feeling indicated by the color.

Next, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the color database (7) further has a hue table in which colors are classified and organized by hue. In this case, the questionnaire asks the user about favorite primary colors. It is configured as follows.

The hue table stores each color in association with one of the primary colors. That is, each color has the same hue as any one of the primary colors. For example, light blue belongs to the blue system. Note that the plurality of primary colors are determined by RGB, CMYK, and the like.

Then, the color selection means (8) has a hue of the same system as the primary color from the hue table and the season table using the information about the favorite primary color included in the questionnaire information and the date information included in the questionnaire information. While selecting a color, the information regarding the psychological effect regarding the selected color is read from the psychological table using the information regarding the selected color. For example, when the questionnaire information includes date information “October 23” and information related to a favorite primary color “blue”, the color selection means (8) first uses the date information to search for “everyday color” from the season table. An index value obtained by quantifying the hue of the image is obtained, and an intermediate color between “normal board color” and “blue” is selected using the index value and the index value of the primary color. That is, the color of blue is selected rather than the color of the regular board without selecting the regular board color. Subsequently, the color selection means (8) reads information relating to the psychological effect relating to the intermediate color from the psychological table using the information relating to the selected intermediate color. At this time, information on the season of the intermediate color is also read from the season table.

Thereafter, the output means (11) outputs information on the season and psychological efficacy of the color (for example, intermediate color) finally selected by the color selection means (8). Specifically, since information including seasonal information and psychological effect information is stored in a buffer or the like, the information is read and output to a monitor or the like.

As described above, according to this aspect, color information suitable for each individual can be provided by allowing the user to specify a primary color such as blue.

Here, the information output by the output means (11) of the color diagnostic apparatus (1) may include color arrangement information for printing the color finally selected by the color selection means (8) with a printer. Color arrangement information is also represented by CMYK or RGB. Thus, by allowing the user to specify a primary color such as blue, not only can color information suitable for each person be provided, but also a color corresponding to the provided color information can be printed as it is.

In the above preferred embodiment, the color database (7) may further include a fortune telling table that stores fortune telling information related to the color. In this case, the color selection means (8) is further configured to read fortune-telling information related to the selected color from the fortune-telling table using information about the finally selected color. Then, the output means (11) of the color diagnostic apparatus (1) outputs the fortune telling information read by the color selection means (8). For example, when the color selection means (8) selects the light green color, “you will feel positive” is output as the fortune of today (input date).

Alternatively, the output means (11) of the color diagnostic apparatus (1) may output the color finally selected by the color selection means (8) as a lucky color. The user who sees this output is affected by deep psychology and behaves with a sense of lucky color. In particular, since this lucky color has the same hue as the primary color specified by the user, each user can easily recognize the output color as a true lucky color.

In addition, another preferred aspect of the present invention further includes an area information input means, an area color database, and an extracted color correction means, and this point will be described.

The regional color database stores prohibited color information in association with the regional name. For example, information on religious taboo colors is stored in the regional color database as prohibited color information for each region.

The area information input means is a means for inputting the area name, and is configured by the input means (2) or an equivalent means. The extracted color correction means reads the prohibited color information of the area from the area color database using the area name input by the area information input means, and the color finally selected by the color selection means (8) is the prohibited color. It is a means to judge whether it is.

When it is determined that the color finally selected by the color selection means (8) is a prohibited color related to the area name input by the area information input means, the output means (11) Only an error message is displayed without output. As a result, the user is prevented from seeing the forbidden color, and as a result, the taboo color for each region can be reduced. Note that the processing when it is determined that the color is prohibited is not limited to the above processing.

In the above-described aspect, the regional color database stores the prohibited color information in association with the region name. Alternatively, the recommended color information may be stored in association with the region name. As the recommended color information, for example, information on colors reminiscent of local special products can be considered.

The extracted color correction means in this case reads the recommended color information of the area from the area color database using the area name input by the area information input means, and numerically calculates the hue of the color selected by the color selection means (8). This is a means for comparing the converted value with a value obtained by digitizing the hue of the recommended color, and selecting the recommended color as a correction candidate color when these values are within a certain range. Then, the output means (11) of the color diagnostic apparatus (1) outputs information including the recommended color selected by the extracted color correcting means as the correction candidate color and the season information about the recommended color. This makes it possible to consider the recommended colors for each region.

In each of the above-described aspects, the color diagnosis apparatus that performs color diagnosis based on input information such as a questionnaire has been described. Here, as described in the section of the problem to be solved by the invention, a problem similar to the problem solved by each aspect described above also occurs in the color diagnosis apparatus that performs color diagnosis based on the input image. That is, the present invention provides a computer-readable information record storing a color diagnostic apparatus that performs color diagnosis based on an input image and a program that causes a computer to function as a color diagnostic apparatus that performs color diagnosis based on an input image. It can also be applied to media. This will be described below.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a basic configuration of another color diagnostic apparatus (1) of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the color diagnostic apparatus (1) includes an image reading means (3), a region dividing means (5), a color database (7), a color matching means (9), and an output means. (11). The color diagnostic apparatus (1) may further include color correction plan calculation means (13). In FIG. 3, reference numeral 4 denotes a computer. The dotted line indicates the inside of the computer (4). The computer (4) has an input / output device, an arithmetic device, a control device, and a storage device, each connected by a bus or the like. As a result, information can be exchanged. A main memory of the storage device stores a computer-readable information recording medium such as a CD-ROM storing a control program. When information is input from the input device, the control unit reads out the control program as appropriate, reads out information stored in the storage device as appropriate, according to the instructions of the control program, and performs calculations in the arithmetic device. Then, the calculation result is appropriately stored in the storage device and output from the output device. That is, the present invention comprises a computer (4), an image reading means (3), an area dividing means (5), a color database (7), a color matching means (9), and an output means (11). There are also provided a program for causing at least an apparatus to function, and a computer-readable information recording medium storing such a program.

The image reading means (3) is a means for reading an image and obtaining an input image. The image reading means (3) is not particularly limited as long as a color image can be acquired. Examples of the image reading means (3) include a color scanner, i1Pro (registered trademark), and a digital camera. The image reading means (3) may be one that can input CAD data into the apparatus. In this case, for example, the means for receiving image data created by Illustrator (registered trademark) or the like functions as the image reading means (3). By doing this, it is possible to check the seasonal feeling of the CAD drawing created by the illustrator.

The region dividing means (5) is a means for dividing the input image into regions by color. When the input image is created by computer graphics, the area dividing means (5) can be implemented by analyzing the image information.

An example of the area dividing means (5) is to analyze the hue and luminance by sweeping the input image line by line. For example, the input image may be swept line by line, and it may be determined as a separate area when the luminance change is more than a certain level. Further, when the input image is swept line by line and the hue changes greatly, it may be determined as a different area. After the input image is divided into regions, the color for each region is stored. A plurality of pixels included in this area may change in color and brightness due to the influence of light and shadow. For example, an average value of colors and brightness included in the area may be used as the color of the area.

The color database (7) includes at least a seasonal table that classifies and organizes colors according to seasons, and a psychological table that classifies and organizes colors according to psychological effects. In addition to this, a region table in which colors are classified and systematized according to regions may be included.

An example of the seasonal table is as shown in FIG. That is, also in this example, the season is divided into 4 seasons, 24 verses, and 72 weathers. These are seasonal indicators and may be seasonal information. Each color has an ID indicating the color, an index numerically expressed by Lab, an index numerically expressed by CMYK, and an index numerically expressed by RGB, and the corresponding four seasons, verse 24, and 72 are assigned. ing. As a result, for example, it is possible to perform an evaluation such that the color indicating autumn is greatly different from the color indicating spring. In other words, when the colors included in the input image are expressed by indices quantified for each region, and the seasons are read out, the regions deviating from the seasonal distribution can be grasped.

The psychological table stores psychological indices and psychological effect information in association with indices obtained by quantifying each color by hue. The psychological index is a numerical value of the psychological efficacy indicated by the color. For example, by classifying and organizing the meaning of each color based on the characteristics of nature, the meaning of each color based on the word origin of each color, the flower language of the plant, the seasonal word, cultural and historical background, Psychological effect information can be obtained. A psychological index and psychological effect information may be stored for each hue such as RGB. Psychological indicators can also be several, such as urban or pastoral, passionate or calm, dynamic or static, recommended or contraindicated, associated with early morning or late at night. It may have a numerical value on the coordinates. As shown in FIG. 2, the psychological table may be provided in the same table as the seasonal table. For example, the psychological index only needs to have a value of −1 to 1.

The color matching means (9) includes a color digitizing means for digitizing colors included in the respective areas divided by the area dividing means (5), and a numerical value obtained by the color digitizing means. And an index reading means for reading a seasonal index, seasonal information, psychological index, and psychological effect information from the psychological table. That is, the color digitizing means receives the colors included in each divided area and digitizes them according to the hue. This is based on the same algorithm as the digitization of the color stored in each table. Examples of the numerical method include Lab, CMYK, and RGB. A method for digitizing a color using a color or the like in this manner is known. In RGB digitization, for example, in the case of RGB = 1, the digitization may be performed such that x = 1, y = 0, and z = 0. Based on this, further quantification may be performed. As a result, an index value such as Ff1100 shown in FIG. 2 can be obtained. If there is a match between the index values, it may be extracted as a result of color matching. For example, if the index value of RGB analysis is Ff1100, the information that the index value is stored in association with Ff1100 is read from the database, and the information that the color of this area is the young grass color of color ID 2 is obtained. Available. If there is no index value that matches, the one having the closest index value is determined, and color information may be extracted using the index value. Note that the psychological effects (psychological efficacy) read out in association with Ff 1100 are “dusk”, “lyrical”, and the like. Although not specifically shown, the data base in relation to Ff1100 is -0.5 for passionate (-1) or calm (+1), 0 for dynamic (-1) or static (+1). .4, -0.8 for recommended (-1) or contraindicated (+1), and 0.5 for early morning (-1) or late night (+1). What is necessary is just to read in connection.

The output means (11) outputs information including season information and psychological effect information about the colors included in each area divided by the area dividing means (5). Specifically, since information including seasonal information and psychological effect information is stored in a buffer or the like, the information is read and output to a monitor or the like.

As a result, the color season information and psychological effect information included in the input image can be displayed, and the color candidate that gives a certain seasonal feeling and psychological effect and the season information and psychological effect information possessed by the color candidate can be displayed. The information that it contains can be displayed.

Next, since a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes the color correction plan calculation means (13), this point will be described. The color correction plan calculation means (13) has a distribution calculation means, a color extraction means, and a correction candidate extraction means.

The distribution calculation means obtains the distribution of either or both of the seasonal index and the psychological index included in each area divided by the area dividing means (5) using either or both of the seasonal index and the psychological index. For example, if four seasons are required for the color of each region, the distribution of the seasons may be obtained. Of course, you may obtain the distribution situation of the distribution of the psychological index which is dynamic or static among psychological effects. Furthermore, a distribution regarding a plurality of parameters may be obtained.

The color extraction means uses the distribution obtained by the distribution calculation means to extract out of the divided colors out of the distribution so that the distribution of the seasonal index and the psychological index is within a predetermined threshold. For example, when an area occupying an area of 80% or more has a seasonal index of “spring”, an area having a seasonal index other than “spring” may be extracted. Furthermore, for example, when 70% or more of the areas have a seasonal index of “spring, summer, autumn” and the psychological index of dynamic or static is 0.1 or more and 1 or less, What deviates from these ranges may be extracted. It is well known that a method for finding a common area using a seasonal index, a psychological index, or the like for color partial calculation may be performed based on an appropriately set one. The simplest is a single parameter. For example, in order to find the season occupying the most area by focusing on the season only, the following may be performed. That is, the area of each region is obtained. Then, the season indicated by each area is grasped. Then, for each season, the areas are totaled and the areas are totaled. In this way, it is only necessary to grasp the region showing the most seasons and the other regions.

The correction candidate extraction unit extracts, for colors deviating from the distribution extracted by the color extraction unit, a color whose index quantified by the hue belongs to a predetermined range and is included within a predetermined threshold value of the distribution. For example, in the above example, an area having a season other than “spring” is extracted. Assume that the color index having a season other than spring is RGB and Ff0022. In this case, a color having a numerical color index close to this numerical value is extracted from the database. Then, the seasonal index of the color is read out from the color close to Ff0022. As a result, color extraction is performed until “spring” is read as a seasonal index. Then, for example, when Ff0000 is read, the seasonal index of this color is “spring”, and therefore, vermilion that is Ff0000 may be extracted as a correction candidate.

The index reading means reads at least seasonal information and psychological effect information from the seasonal table and the psychological table using the index digitized by the hue of the color extracted by the correction candidate extracting means. Specifically, information such as “spring”, “passion”, and “birth” is read using Ff0000.

Output means (11) outputs seasonal information and psychological effect information of the correction candidate. Specifically, since information including seasonal information and psychological effect information is stored in a buffer or the like, the information is read and output to a monitor or the like. As a result, the seasonal feeling and psychological effects of the correction candidates can be output. It should be noted that if the user who sees this output is convinced and inputs that fact, the computer (4) can coordinate a harmonious color by performing a process of converting the color to a correction candidate color. It becomes.

The color diagnosis apparatus and information storage medium of the present invention can be used in the field of optical equipment and the like, and can also be used in the field of color coordination.
