Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a frame image for reading an image of a designated frame from image information recorded on a predetermined image recording medium in an appropriate area of a book such as a printing sheet, a picture book, or a magazine. It relates to printed matter with an address code mark.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, one or a plurality of □ -shaped blocks having a size of, for example, about 1 mm square to 5 mm square are provided on an appropriate area of the surface of various printed paper sheets, books, cards, passbooks, or various products. The area corresponding portion is divided into four in a square shape to provide four small block areas each, and the predetermined small block area selected based on a predetermined information input signal to be recorded in the □ shaped block area. There is a tetra-block code mark display method in which is displayed by a tetra-block (four division) code method in which a predetermined information reading code mark is formed by coloring with a coloring material by a printing method or a transfer method.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a decimal number using a tetrablock code mark in which one square block area of the square block area is divided into four in a square shape and each small block area is provided. It is a top view explaining an example at the time of displaying.

For example, each small block area,
Of the area, the tetrablock code mark obtained by coloring the region in an appropriate color tone such as black or blue is set to 2 ⁰ ( ^{0 of} 2).
Squared) = 1, and the tetrablock code mark obtained by coloring the area in an appropriate color tone such as black or blue is 2
¹ (2 to the power of 1) = 2 is displayed, and the tetrablock code mark obtained by coloring the area in an appropriate color tone such as black or blue is displayed as 2 ² (2 to the power of 2) = 4, and the area is , A tetrablock code mark obtained by coloring in an appropriate color tone such as black or blue is displayed as 2 ³ = 8, and is 0 when it is not colored.

By coloring any one of the small block areas of the above-mentioned one square-shaped block, it is possible to express 2 ⁴ = 16 kinds of numbers, for example 0 to 15, By arranging n of these square blocks, 16 ⁿ kinds of numbers can be displayed. In addition, the arrangement intervals of the square blocks are set to an appropriate interval of about 0 or 1 mm.

Further, FIG. 5 shows 1 of the above-mentioned □ shaped block area.
Each □ -shaped block area is divided into four in a square shape, and each small block area is colored. Various code marks (16 types) are created by combining various colored points, and each code mark is given a binary number. It is a top view showing an example in the case of giving and displaying.

As shown in FIG. 6 (a), by using one code mark obtained by dividing a □ shaped block area into four in a square shape, each small block area is colored and displayed in 16 types. Information can be displayed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, 256 types of information can be displayed by color-displaying each small block area using two code marks.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 (c) to 6 (f),
By coloring each small block area with 3 to 6 code marks, 16 to 16
777216 types of information can be displayed.

As a color display method for the small block area, a printing ink is formed by using a normal coloring material or a special coloring material such as an ultraviolet light emitting coloring material or a coloring and decoloring coloring material.
Alternatively, a color transfer sheet may be formed into a printing method or a transfer method (such as a heat transfer method using a color transfer sheet or a pressure transfer method) to display a color code mark, and the code mark is irradiated with visible light or ultraviolet light. It can be read as a signal by a predetermined optical reading means such as a photo sensor or a CCD camera, and can be read out and displayed as predetermined information based on a predetermined regularity such as an arrangement or combination of the code marks.

[0011]

Conventionally, when recording voice information such as a predetermined language and music together with print information on a predetermined printed matter, after forming a predetermined magnetic recording layer such as a magnetic tape on the printed matter in advance. Audio information and music information are recorded on the magnetic recording layer and reproduced by a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus.

According to the present invention, a frame image address code for reading out image information of a predetermined frame recorded on a predetermined image recording medium is converted into a predetermined printed matter by using an information code mark formed by a square block code. Record,
The recorded information code mark is read by the optical reading means, and a desired image of a frame related to print information such as printed characters and patterns is reproduced by a dedicated image reproducing device based on the read signal. is there.

[0013]

According to the present invention, a display area for pictures, characters, symbols, etc. is appropriately provided on one or both sides of a base material, and one or a plurality of areas are provided inside or / and outside the display area. Of each of the four small block areas obtained by dividing each square block into four in a square shape, a predetermined small block area selected based on a predetermined information signal to be recorded is colored to form an image. A printed matter having a frame image address code mark, characterized in that an address code mark for reading a predetermined frame image of a recording medium is provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A printed matter having a frame image address code mark according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to an embodiment shown in FIG. A print portion area 2 is provided by printing print information such as a print pattern and characters on appropriate areas on one side or both sides of a page sheet, a card, a passbook, or other printed matter.

The inside or outside of the printing area 2 of the base material 1 or the inside or outside of the printing area 2 corresponds to one or a plurality of □ -shaped block areas of about 1 mm square to 5 mm square. Of the four small block areas (see FIGS. 5 and 6) obtained by dividing the inside of the □ -shaped block area into four parts in a square shape (see FIGS. 5 and 6). On the surface of a predetermined small block area selected based on
Desired color tone (for example, desired color tone such as black, blue, red, etc.)
Coloring part 3 with coloring agent (eg printing ink, paint, etc.)
Printed material A provided with a frame image address code mark 3 by a printing method or a transfer method by performing a, and displaying address information designating a desired frame image of an image recorded on a predetermined image recording medium. Is.

On a predetermined image recording medium (video tape, video disc, compact disc, etc.) for reading the designated frame image by the frame image address code mark 3, for example, a predetermined image related to print information is recorded. , A frame image address number (decimal number, or 2) for displaying the recorded section of the recorded image (for example, the frame image section of each frame image) together with the recorded image.
A signal representing one unique digit of a decimal number) is recorded as the signal.

The pattern reader is provided with an area type CCD sensor, and the address code marks 3 are arranged in a row in the horizontal direction or in a plurality of rows, or in a vertical direction.
A plurality of rows arranged in rows or multiple rows), and has an effective detection area that covers all areas, and is placed on the code mark 3, and the colored portion of the code mark 3 is placed. 3a and a code pattern constituted by an uncolored portion are read, or the pattern reader includes a linear CCD sensor, and the code mark 3 is provided below the reader in a direction orthogonal to the sensor. The printed material A marked with is passed through and the code pattern is read.
