METHOD FOR PRODUCING INDICATORS AND PROCESSING APPARATUS AND SYSTEM UTILIZING THE INDICATORS

摘要

The present invention discloses a method for producing graphical indicators and interactive systems for utilizing the graphical indicators. On the surface of an object, visually negligible graphical indicators are provided. The graphical indicators and main information, i.e. text or pictures, co-exist on the surface of object. The graphical indicators do not interfere with the main information when the perception of human eyes are concerned. With the graphical indicators, further information other than the main information on the surface of object are carried. In addition to the main information on the surface of object, one is able to obtain additional information through an auxiliary electronic device or trigger an interactive operation.

主权项

1. A processing system, comprising:
a surface of an object including multiple index zones, multiple visually negligible graphical indicators are arranged in each index zone; and an electronic system comprising an optical device for capturing an image on the surface of the object by a user, the electronic system retrieving the graphical indicators from the image and producing an response by using an additional information corresponding to one graphic indicator, wherein each graphical indicator comprises a plurality of graphical micro-units arranged in a layout, the layout corresponds to an indicator information, the processing device analyses the layout of the graphical micro-units to retrieve the indicator information and further to acquire the additional information from the indicator information by processing and/or transforming the indicator information, wherein the surface of the object comprises a main information that overlaps and co-exists with the graphical micro-units on the surface of the object, and wherein the graphical micro-units are negligible when the user observes the main information and the main information is imperceptible to the optical device.
