Abstract:
A handwriting input/output system that allows letters, characters and figures to be input by hand. The handwriting input/output system includes an imaging device that captures and transmits the image of a medium provided with a writing area having a dot pattern that defines coordinate information and code information, a dot pattern analysis device that calculates trajectory information by storing the image data of the dot pattern and analyzing the code of the image data, a trajectory recognition device recognizes the trajectory information of the letter, character, and figure traced on the writing area based on a change in the analyzed coordinate information, and a process instruction device transmits a process instruction based on the recognized information together with the trajectory information to an information processing device, whereby a letter, character, or figure can be input by hand.
Abstract:
The objective of the invention is to provide an information input assistance sheet that can accurately read infrared reflection light from an ultra minute area regardless of the contact angle of the optical reading device when the optical reading device reads a dot pattern by causing infrared light emitted from the light source of the optical reading device to be reflected off the information input assistance sheet printed with dots that absorb infrared light. The dots of the dot pattern are printed with an ink that has a characteristic that absorbs at least a predetermined wavelength light or the characteristic that absorbs the predetermined wavelength light and a visible light transmission characteristic, and the diffuse reflection layer is formed by arranging a directional reflection material so that the predetermined wavelength light that is irradiated by the irradiation means is diffusely reflected toward the dot pattern reading surface.
Abstract:
The present invention proposes a dot pattern on which code information and x and y coordinate information can be defined even if the dot pattern is extremely small, and proposes an information reproducing method and an information reproducing device based on the dot pattern. More specifically, a medium such as a printed material on which is formed a dot pattern portion by arranging in accordance with a given rule dots generated by a dot code generating algorithm in order to recognize various kinds of multimedia information is scanned as image data by scanning means. Then, the image data is converted into code data. Multimedia information corresponding to the code data is read out of storing means to be reproduced.
Abstract:
Problems of dot pattern technology include latitude/longitude information not being able to be acquired from a curvilinear solid. To read coordinate and/or code information from the vicinity of a line segment to acquire information associated with the line segment, it is necessary to define manually an area including the line segment to form the dot-pattern associated with the information in the area. In the case where line segments are adjacent, a sufficient area cannot be secured and information cannot be defined accurately for the line segment. Stream dot-patterns which are formed based on a prescribed rule, and which have few moires that are streaky periodic patterns are connected and formed in a belt-like shape. It becomes possible to create an information inputting medium that accurately defines the latitude/longitude and coordinate information on various line segments on the curvilinear solid, the map, the drawing, or the like.
Abstract:
The lens unit mounted on a camera of a smart phone or the like includes a cylindrical lens holder having a lower opening portion arranged to surround a photographing opening of the camera and an upper opening portion at both ends of the lens holder, a lens arranged at a predetermined position in the cylindrical lens holder, and an ID medium loaded on the upper opening portion of the lens holder to perform authentication. A lens unit includes a cylindrical lens holder having a lower opening portion arranged to surround a photographing opening of a camera and an upper opening portion at both ends the lens holder, a lens arranged at a predetermined position of the cylindrical lens holder, and an adjuster arranged on the lower opening portion of the lens holder to appropriately adjust a distance from the lens to the camera.
Abstract:
A camera of the invention includes a transmitting unit which transmits code information and/or a control instruction for an information processing device to the information processing device, and the information processing device performs a corresponding process on the basis of code information transmitted from the transmitting means and/or a control instruction to display a predetermined video image on a display device. In a state in which a video image of an object is displayed, when the object is only touched with an optical reading device, a photograph or a moving image corresponding to the touched portion can be instantaneously displayed. For this reason, operation quantity in the information processing device can be reduced.
Abstract:
The technical objective is to provide a simple and low-cost information input help sheet and an information processing system which exhibit a significantly high input accuracy and input efficiency without limiting a mounting object. The information input help sheet comprises an infrared reflection layer which reflects infrared rays from one side and transmits visible light, and a dot pattern layer provided on one side of the infrared reflection layer and on which dots generated by a dot-code generating algorithm and formed with material having an infrared absorbing characteristic are arranged according to a predetermined rule, in order to perform a variety of multimedia information output and/or operation instructions.
Abstract:
Methods that entail detection of an epiregulin (EREG) protein for cancer diagnosis are disclosed. In colon cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, and kidney cancer, the gene and protein expressions of EREG were frequently found to be elevated. Antibodies that recognize an EREG protein are used for diagnosing or treating cancer in the present invention. Pharmaceutical compositions, cell proliferation inhibitors, and anticancer agents containing an EREG-binding antibody as an active ingredient are also disclosed. Methods of inducing cell damage in EREG-expressing cells and methods of suppressing the proliferation of EREG-expressing cells by contacting the EREG-expressing cells with EREG-binding antibodies are also disclosed.

The cradle for the mobile phone of the invention is to be used with a scanner remote controller that reads a printed dot pattern, in which information is recorded, and transmits the information. The mobile phone cradle comprises: being capable of having a mobile phone placed thereon and holding the mobile phone and communicating with the placed mobile phone; receiving data from the scanner remote controller to cause the scanner remote controller to function as input means for the mobile phone; and communicating with audio-visual equipment and controlling the audio-visual equipment to cause the audio-visual equipment to function as output means for the mobile phone.
Abstract:
An information processing device that stores an execution environment of a personal computer when a capture is made, and associates the captured execution environment, a dot pattern, and a screen shot. A control unit of the information processing device executes steps of: storing an image that is displayed on a display unit connected with the information processing device in a storage unit of the information processing device, and, storing an execution environment of the information processing device at a moment of storing the image, in the storage unit; superimposedly forming a dot pattern and the image; acquiring the code value and coordinate values from an optical reading unit that read the dot pattern; and restoring the execution environment corresponding to the code value and coordinate values by identifying the execution environment based on the identification information that is defined in at least part of the acquired code value.
