  • Patent number: 7894099
    Abstract: A computer object such as text, graphics, mathematical formulas, images, audio, and other data and information handled inside a computer or through a computer in industry or daily life etc. is expressed, recorded, reproduced, and transmitted using color or a color numerical value. Color is used as a medium for expressing data or information taking note of the characteristics of color. This helps counter the ballooning amount of recording. Color can also be used to prepare codes.

  • Patent number: 7391419
    Abstract: An information distribution system configured to deliver various types of content provided by an information distributor to information receivers through a network and transmitting the content to be distributed converted to colors, color values, or color digital values. By converting the content to colors, color values, or color digital values, it is possible to reduce the amount of information transmitted. Due to this, it becomes possible to shorten the time required for distribution of content and to improve practicality. Further, it becomes possible to reduce the distribution costs.

  • Patent number: 7055744
    Abstract: A code encoding device for outputting character, audio, and moving picture data converted to color marks by referring to a code conversion table (104, 204) and a code decoding device for outputting color marks converted to character, audio, and moving picture data by referring to a code conversion table (112, 212). High density recording is made possible through the medium of color marks. At the time of encoding and decoding of data, one unit of data is linked with one color among the plurality of colors to enable high density recording compared with conventional bar codes and two-dimensional codes.
