The content storage unit 31 stores content by language corresponding to a preset language such as Japanese, English, Chinese, etc., for a plurality of types of content, that is, content 1 to content N. FIG. 3 is a table showing the storage state of the content of the content server in the content providing system. As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the content storage unit 31 stores Japanese content 1j, English content 1e, Chinese content 1c,. Here, the content is, for example, about a facility signboard, the content 1 is a greeting video that is a video, the

contents

2, 3, and N are video that is a video, and the content 4 is a guide map that is a still image. The content 5 is voice guidance voice.

FIG. 7 shows an example of a two-dimensional code used in the content providing system. (A) is a schematic diagram showing an arrangement state, and (b) is a schematic diagram showing an example of display. As shown in FIG. 7A, the two-dimensional code 100 includes a white square frame portion 110 arranged on the outer periphery and an upper dot portion made up of 16 dots arranged inside the frame portion 110. 120, a lower dot portion 130 composed of 16 dots arranged on the lower side inside, and a dot non-display portion 140 formed between the upper dot portion 120 and the lower dot portion 130. The shape of the frame part 110 is not limited to a square, but may be a rectangle, a circle, or other shapes. Further, the color is not limited to white as long as it can be identified on the paper surface, and other colors can be used.

The dot non-display unit 140 can display additional information that can be recognized with the naked eye. In this example, a character 141 "Let's hold up" and a pictograph 142 indicating a state where the terminal is held up are displayed.

In the two-dimensional code 100, a total of 32 dots are displayed. These dots are displayed in white or black and represent 1-bit information of “0” or “1”. In the present embodiment, the four dots arranged at the four corners of the frame 110 are referred to as rotation

state display dots

151, 152, 153, and 154.

Also, the remaining 28 dots are used as code display dots, of which 8 dots are used for error detection and error correction. A known error correction method can be used for error detection and correction. Therefore, 220 = 1048576 types of content can be specified in the code display unit. The number of dots in the code display portion can be changed as necessary, and can be, for example, 28 or more.

When such a two-dimensional code 100 is actually used, as shown in FIG. 7B, predetermined dots are black and other dots are white. Thereby, necessary information can be displayed. In addition, the display of each dot can be displayed in black and white, or in shades and colors that can be discriminated when captured by a terminal, in addition to black and white. In the illustrated example, the ground color is white, but the ground color may be other colors such as black.

In the terminal device 10, the frame part 110 is extracted from the image data of the book 200 obtained by imaging, and two-dimensionally calculated from the dimensions of each side of the frame part 110 and the arrangement state of the rotation

state display dots

151, 152, 153, 154. Information such as the position and inclination of the terminal device 10 with respect to the code 100 is obtained.

That is, the acquired image data of the frame part 110 is analyzed to determine the ratio of the length of each side, and the position and orientation of the terminal device 10 with respect to the two-dimensional code 100 are acquired from this. This calculation is according to a known method. Further, the rotational positional relationship between the two-dimensional code 100 and the terminal device 10 is acquired from the display of the rotation

state display dots

151, 152, 153, and 154. In the embodiment, the rotational positional relationship between the two-dimensional code 100 and the terminal device 10 is acquired by the following method.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram for explaining posture recognition with a rotation state display dot of a two-dimensional code. Since the posture relationship between the two-dimensional code 100 and the terminal device 10 is relative, the following description will be made assuming that the two-dimensional code 100 rotates.

Rotation

state display dots

151, 152, 153, and 154 are four dots displayed as “white” or “black”, respectively, and represent “0” or “1” in this display. Here, the display state of the four dots is described by arranging the dot arrangement at the four corners counterclockwise from “upper left”, that is, “upper left”, “lower left”, “lower right”, and “upper right”. That is, the rotation state display dot 151, the rotation state display dot 152, the rotation state display dot 153, and the rotation state display dot 154 are described in this order.

The arrangement of the rotation

state display dots

151, 152, 153, 154 of the two-dimensional code 100 includes the following six types (a) to (f) in consideration of the identity by rotation.
(A) 1,1,1,1
(B) 1,1,1,0
(C) 1,1,0,0
(D) 1,0,1,0
(E) 1, 0, 0, 0
(F) 0, 0, 0, 0

Here, as shown in FIG. 8, since (a), (d), and (f) are point-symmetric, rotation of the two-dimensional code 100 cannot be detected. That is, in (a) and (f), all the rotational states I, II, III, and IV cannot be distinguished, and in (d), I and III, and II and IV cannot be distinguished. Here, I, II, III, and IV indicate states in which the two-dimensional code 100 is sequentially rotated clockwise by 90 °.

And (b), (c), (e) can distinguish the state of I, II, III, and IV. Therefore,
(B) 1st arrangement: “0” displayed in one corner and “1” displayed in the other corner;
(C) in the second arrangement: “0” is displayed in two adjacent corners, and “1” is displayed in the other two corners;
(E) is the third arrangement: “1” is displayed in one corner and “0” is displayed in the other corner.

Then, when the two-dimensional code 100 and the terminal device 10 are in a predetermined rotational position state, for example, all of the rotational state display dot array states in the first array, the second array, and the third array displayed on the two-dimensional code 100 are I. This display state is compared with the display states of the rotation

state display dots

151, 152, 153, and 154 recognized by the terminal device 10. Thereby, the attitude | position of the terminal device 10 with respect to the two-dimensional code 100 can be recognized.

Furthermore, by determining whether the displayed rotation state display dot is selected from the first array, the second array, and the third array, the body fluid posture is given to the terminal device 10 of the two-dimensional code 100. Three patterns of information other than the information to be represented can be recognized. In other words, in this embodiment, log3 / log2 = 1.5498625... Bit information can be added.

Here, the rotational positional relationship can be displayed using three of the four dots, and the information can be expressed by another one dot. In this case, two patterns of “0” or “1”, that is, 1 Bit information can be added. Compared to the method of identifying the rotational positional relationship by 3 bits, the method of this embodiment can display information that is 0.5849625... More bits.

Next, reading of the two-dimensional code 100 will be described. First, when the terminal device 10 captures the two-dimensional code 100 (step SC1), the two-dimensional code 100 is extracted from the captured image data, and further, a code specifying the content by decoding 20 dots in the code portion. Obtain (step SC2). At this time, error detection and error correction are performed with 4 dots as necessary (step SC3).

Then, the position and orientation state of the terminal device 10 with respect to the two-dimensional code 100 are acquired from the image data of the frame part 110, and the rotational position of the terminal device 10 with respect to the two-dimensional code 100 from the rotation

state display dots

151, 152, 153, 154. A state is acquired (step SC4).

As described above, according to the content providing system according to the present embodiment, the terminal device can reproduce the content corresponding to the desired language on the terminal device only by reading one two-dimensional code. Therefore, there is no need to display a two-dimensional code for each language, and the user of the terminal device does not need to perform any special operation, and only by imaging the two-dimensional code, the language-specific language corresponding to the language used in the terminal device. Content can be acquired and played back.

In the above example, the two-dimensional code 100 has been described as representing information with 32 dots. However, a two-dimensional code that displays information in other formats may be used.

Since the content providing system, the terminal device, the content providing method, and the program according to the present invention have the above-described configuration, the user of the terminal device only takes an image of a two-dimensional code without performing a special operation. Since the content in the language used in the terminal device can be acquired and reproduced, it can be used in the content providing industry, the electronic terminal manufacturing industry, the entertainment industry, and the like.
