Abstract
A system for converting data of various types into color dot images to perform various basic data managements by using the color dot images. First, data of various types are represented by a color code train, a color dot is allowed to correspond to each color code in the color code train to generate a color dot image or object of an arbitrary shape to perform various basic data managements using the color dot image, the size of each dot and a dot-to-dot interval are controlled for printing and drawing on a medium of various types such as paper and recording and retaining, basic data is restored from the color dot image in a computer, color dot images recorded and retained on a medium of various kinds are read with a scanner or a camera to restore them to basic data of various types.
Claims26
A color dot code system, representing various types of data such as documents and audio data by color code trains, generating color dot images based on the color dot trains, managing the various types of original based on the color dot images data in a computer, and furthermore, recording and storing the various types of data by drawing the color dot images on various types of media such as paper and wood, and restoring the various types of data from the recorded and stored color dot images;
- comprising
- a means for representing various types of data by a color code train;
- a means for generating a color dot image corresponding to the color code train;
- a means for managing the various types of data in a computer using the color dot image;
- a means for recording and storing the color dot image on a medium such as paper through a method of printing, drawing or the like;
- a means for producing an article as fashion accessory or the like or clothing using balls of colored glass balls, stone balls or the like, yarn, fabric or the like, relating to the color dot image;
- a means for reading the recorded and stored color dot image using a reading device as a scanner, a camera or the like;
- a means for processing the color dot images read by the reading means using a color dot code processor;
- and
- a means for restoring the various types of data such as documents and audio data from the color dot image using the color dot code processor.
A color dot code system comprising steps of;
- preparing a color code in which each color is corresponding to a row of bits;
- converting digital data of an original document to a color dot train according to the color code;
- recording the digital data by displaying the color dot train as a color dot image on a media able to be printed or drawn;
- reading out the color dot train from the color dot image displayed on the media;
- and
- restoring the digital data of the original document by converting the read-out color dot train to a train of the color code.
A color dot code system comprising;
- a memory device for storing a color code in which each color is corresponding to a row of bits;
- a converter device for converting digital data of an original document to digital information representing a color dot train according to the color code;
- a data managing device for inputting the digital information and for data-managing of the original documents;
- and
- an information restoring device for converting the digital information to a color code train and for restoring the digital data of the original documents.
A color dot code recording apparatus comprising;
- a memory device for storing a color code in which each color is corresponding to a row of bits;
- a converter device for converting digital data of an original document to a color dot train according to the color code;
- and
- an information recorder device for recording the digital data by displaying the color dot train on a medium in a readable form.
A color dot code restoring apparatus comprising;
- a reader device for reading out a color dot code train displayed on a medium;
- and
- an information restoring device for restoring digital data of a original documents by converting the color code train read out from the medium to a color code train based on color codes in which each color is corresponding to a row of bits.
