Patent number: 8259342Abstract: A method of manufacturing a physical medium configured to store data. A layout design of visible and invisible information to be printed in a book with visible and invisible ink, respectively, is generated. The visible information includes an article. The invisible information includes a URL of an address of a web server at which additional information associated with the article is located. Print data of the visible and invisible information based on the generated layout design of the visible and invisible information are generated. The generated print data of the visible and invisible information are stored on the physical medium. A book containing the article in visible ink and the invisible information in invisible ink is produced. A cellular phone is used to obtain the additional information by identifying the URL via illuminating and photographing the invisible information in the book using a light-emitting element in the cellular phone.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2006Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kohichi Kamijoh, Noboru Kamijo, Kazumasa Ochiai, Yasuo Usuba

Patent number: 8020770Abstract: A display method and display apparatus. Shooting a physical medium generates a captured image from the physical medium. An image pattern on the physical medium, which includes an identification code and binary indicators, is scanned. The identification code identifies a location on a storage medium of at least one image object. Each binary indicator is associated with a corresponding status parameter and has a positive value or a null value. At least one status parameter value is acquired and has a status parameter value for each status parameter whose binary indicator has the positive value. A display object is generated in dependence on the location appearing in the identification code and the acquired at least one status parameter value. The display object and the captured image are displayed, on a display unit of the display apparatus, in an overlapping relationship in which the display object overlaps the captured image.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2006Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Noboru Kamijo, Koichi Komijoh, Kazumasa Ochiai, Yasuo Usuba
