Definitions

  • the invention relates to a search image with a hidden figure, a number of code bits being arranged against a background, in which the code information sought is hidden.
  • the present invention has set itself the task of developing a search image according to the preamble of claim 1 so that its possible uses are significantly expanded, while the code information sought is to be found according to a fundamentally different principle that is not expected for the viewer .
  • the invention is characterized in that the search image is three-dimensional, that the code bits are distributed on an object in all three spatial levels, and that the code information sought is only recognizable when the object is viewed in a certain direction.
  • An essential feature of the present invention is therefore the spatiality of the search image according to the invention. This results in completely new applications, as will be explained below.
  • a three-dimensional search image can be distributed as a giveaway, for example.
  • the object is a transparent block, which consists of transparent glass or plastic plates stacked on top of one another, on which the code bits are arranged in the form of differently distributed code elements. Code bits of different distribution are thus arranged on each disk. If the slabs are stacked together to form a block, then this block can be rotated and viewed in all three room levels. The viewer initially recognizes only an unregulated accumulation of code elements on the individual, stacked disks. Only when he turns the object in a very specific spatial direction do all the code elements of all disks unite to form the desired code information, e.g. can be a character, promotional text, phone number, or other information.
  • the search image consists of several searched code information, which are arranged distributed on the object. Each code information is assigned a certain viewing direction, so that the other code information is not recognizable when the code information is recognizable in a certain viewing direction.
  • the object is rotated in the hand of the viewer in such a way that the viewer looks at the object in successive, different directions of view and recognizes different code information in succession.
  • the transparent plates are arranged in a holder or a transparent container so that disassembly and a different arrangement of the plates is allowed.
  • This provides a so-called search image principle, i.e. the plates can be arranged in different order and orientation in the holder or the container. Various attempts are then required to arrange the plates in the correct orientation and sequence in such a way that the code information sought is found from a certain viewing direction.
  • code information can also be such that a closed, monochrome surface is formed with background code information, in front of which further code information appears in a different color if the search image is viewed by the viewer in the correct direction of view.
  • background code information in front of which further code information appears in a different color if the search image is viewed by the viewer in the correct direction of view.
  • the three-dimensional search image is not tied to being fixed in a glass or plastic block.
  • the present invention encompasses all possibilities that allow code bits that stand out from a background to be arranged in all three spatial levels.
  • the code bits were provided in the form of dark code elements that stand out against a light background. Conversely, it is also possible to provide bright code bits against a dark background.
  • the object is a three-dimensional holding device on which the code bits are arranged in the form of differently distributed code points.
  • Such a three-dimensional object can be thought of as a stylized "Christmas tree".
  • Such an object is e.g. Ideally suited for advertising purposes at exhibitions or in shop windows.
  • code points are selected in the form of point light sources (e.g. in the form of light-emitting diodes).
  • point light sources e.g. in the form of light-emitting diodes.
  • Such a three-dimensional object is an excellent eye-catcher at exhibitions or in shop windows.
  • the code points compose the desired code information.
  • passive code bits can also be used, e.g. in the form of mirrors. These triple mirrors radiate a captured light back to the viewer, so that one can speak of passive point light sources.
  • the advantage of these passive elements is that there is no need to wire the LEDs.
  • the display of a digital display for example, form a digital display of the time, temperature, air pressure and the like l as such a three-dimensional search image.
  • the digital display would then only be readable from a certain viewing direction, while from all other viewing directions only the spatially scattered individual elements of the digital display (the code bits), but not the digital display itself (the code information) can be seen.
  • the three-dimensional search image consists of a transparent block 1, which consists of a plurality of plates 2, 3, 4, 5, which are stacked one on top of the other.
  • Each plate 2, 3, 4, 5 has differently distributed code elements 6, 7, 8, 9, wherein the code elements can have the same or different size and shape.
  • the code elements can consist of dots, dashes, curved lines, arrows, triangles and the like. If block 1 is viewed in the direction of view 10, the code information 11 shown in FIG. 3 results, e.g. in the form of an advertising message. All of the code elements 6 to 9 contained on the plates 2 to 5 are then combined to form the code information 11 sought.
  • the letter "S" is composed of code lines 7, 8, 9, which are contained on the three plates 3, 4, 5.
  • the code elements can be printed by printing on the plates, e.g. in the screen printing process, or also be produced by a photomechanical reproduction process.
  • photos can also serve as templates for a search image.
  • the photo is broken down into halftone dots at different levels, with each level corresponding to a glass or plastic plate that is printed on the front or back with the corresponding halftone dots. Only from a certain direction of view are all grid points put together so that the photo is visible as hidden search information.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show a further embodiment.
  • the three-dimensional search image is designed as a vertically projecting holder 12, on which struts 13, 14, 15, 16 pointing in any spatial plane are arranged one above the other.
  • Code points 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 in the form of point light sources are attached to the struts. These point light sources are preferably in the form of light-emitting diodes or light bulbs, because this results in a sharply delimited code point that stands out well against a background of a different color.
  • the code information 22 shown in FIG. 5 results.
  • the code information is composed of different code points in different spatial levels.
  • FIGS. 6 to 8 show a further glass or plastic block 30, in which three search fields 31-33 are present as an exemplary embodiment. Code information 34-36 is hidden in each search field 31-33.
  • the block 30 (which is shown two-dimensionally in the drawings for the sake of simplicity) is rotated in the direction of the arrow 37, then the code information 34 hidden in the search field 31 becomes visible in the direction of view 41.
  • the code information 35, 36 hidden in the other search fields 32, 33 is not visible; instead, only the individual ones are distributed and arranged; Code lines 38.39 recognizable.
  • the code information 34 disappears in the first search field 31 and instead only the code lines 40 can be seen.
  • the code information 35 specified in the search field 32 then appears as an arrow pointing to the right.
  • the essence of the present invention is therefore that the viewer is initially presented with a three-dimensional object with code bits of different depth effects arranged thereon, the spatial effect of these code bits being canceled when the viewer viewed this object from a certain point of view.
  • the code bits then combine to form a two-dimensional image.
