The present disclosure relates to a printer system and a method for printing a repositionable note.
Repositionable notes that have adhesive properties and can be repeatedly attached and detached have been used in everyday life and in study or business to note important information.
Conventionally, users have used repositionable notes to handwrite what they want thereon. In this case, it has been difficult to write contents unsuitable for handwriting such as images, tables, graphs, symbols, figures, and photos on the repositionable notes.
In the recent business environment, various means have been used such as smart devices including smart phones for taking a note or conducting a meeting through a chat room. However, doing business and conducting meetings offline is also still preferred for free exchange of opinions and diversity of expression.
Accordingly, there has been a demand for the development of a system capable of providing both the convenience of smart devices and offline autonomy by using a printer apparatus which can be linked to a smart device.
The present disclosure provides a printer and a method for printing a repositionable note.
However, problems to be solved by the present disclosure are not limited to the above-described problems. Although not described herein, other problems to be solved by the present disclosure can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following descriptions.
A method for printing a repositionable note by a server includes: creating a chat room in response to a request of a chief client, creating a two-dimensional code including link information to enter the chat room, a password to enter the chat room, and information about time when the two-dimensional code is created, and transmitting the two-dimensional code to the chief client; obtaining a photographed image of the two-dimensional code by one or more participant clients when the two-dimensional code is printed by one or more printers for printing a repositionable note in response to a request of the chief client and receiving, from the one or more participant clients, the link information, the password, and the time when the two-dimensional code is created which are obtained from the photographed image of the two-dimensional code; allowing the one or more participant clients that have accessed the chat room using the link information to enter the chat room; and transmitting information about the one or more printers linked to the chief client in the chat room and information to link to the one or more printers to the one or more participant clients in order for the one or more participant clients to perform an automatic link to the one or more printers.
Further, the server uses the received password to determine whether or not to allow the one or more participant clients to enter the chat room, and if the password is received within a predetermined period of time from the received time when the two-dimensional code is created, the server may determine that the password is valid and use the password to determine whether or not to allow the one or more participant clients to enter the chat room.
Furthermore, the printers may transmit a public key corresponding to secret keys stored in the respective printers to the one or more participant clients.
Moreover, in the chat room, one or more images received from the one or more user clients to the server are displayed and an input to select one of the displayed one or more images to the one or more user clients is transmitted, and the one or more printers may receive the selected image which has been encrypted by using the public key.
Further, the one or more printers may decrypt the encrypted one or more images received from the one or more user clients by using the secret keys and then print the images on the repositionable note.
Furthermore, the server may receive a first image which is at least a part of a photographed image from a first client among the one or more user clients that obtain the photographed image of the one or more repositionable notes on which the one or more images are printed and transfer a second image to the first client.
Moreover, if the second image is transferred to the first client by the server, the second image is substituted for the first image and displayed on the first client, and the first image is one of the one or more images printed on the one or more repositionable notes in the photographed image, and the second image is one of the one or more images uploaded from the chat room to the server and then stored in the server. The server may receive the first image from the first client, determine the second image with the highest similarity from among one or more images with a higher similarity to the first image than a predetermined reference value, determine whether or not the first client has entered the chat room, and transmit the second image to the first client if the first client has entered the chat room.
A second client that is one of the chief client and the one or more participant clients may use the chat room to transmit a first image to the server, and the server may store the first image received from the second client in a storage space corresponding to the chat room, and the chief client and the one or more participant clients may display the first image in their screens.
A third client that is one of the chief client and the one or more participant clients may receive an input to select the first image displayed in the screen and transmit the first image to one of the one or more printers to be printed.
If a fourth client that is one of the chief client and the one or more participant clients uses the chat room to transmit the first image to the server, the fourth client may transmit the first image to one of the one or more printers to be printed.
According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a method for printing a repositionable note by a printer system includes: creating a chat room and creating a two-dimensional code including information to participate in the chat room, transmitting the two-dimensional code to a printer for printing a repositionable note to be printed; obtaining a photographed image of the printed two-dimensional code; participating in the chat room by using information obtained from the two-dimensional code; and receiving information to link to one or more printers and performing a link to the one or more printers.
According to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, a printer system for printing a repositionable note includes: one or more printers that print a repositionable note; a chief client that is linked to the one or more printers via Bluetooth, makes a request for creating a chat room to a server and transmits information to link to the one or more printers to the server; one or more participant clients; and the server that creates the chat room in response to the request of the chief client, creates a two-dimensional code including information to participate in the chat room, and transmits the two-dimensional code to the chief client, wherein the information to participate in the chat room includes link information to access the chat room and authentication information to enter the chat room and the authentication information includes information about time when the two-dimensional code is created. The chief client transmits the two-dimensional code to one of the one or more printers to be printed, and a first client that is one of the one or more participant clients obtains a photographed image of the printed two-dimensional code, obtains the link information and the authentication information from the photographed image of the two-dimensional code, accesses the chat room by using the link information, and transmits the authentication information to the server. The server determines the validity of the authentication information received from the first client based on the time when the two-dimensional code is created which is included in the authentication information received from the first client and if the authentication information is received within a predetermined period of time after the two-dimensional code is created, the server determines that the authentication information is valid and performs authentication to the first client by using the authentication information. If the first client is authenticated, the first client receives information to link to the one or more printers from the server and performs a link to the one or more printers.
According to still another aspect of the present disclosure, a method for printing a repositionable note by a printer system includes: receiving one or more images from one or more user clients using a chat room; storing the received one or more images in a storage space corresponding to the chat room; obtaining a photographed image of one or more repositionable notes on which the one or more images are printed; and substituting a second image for a first image which is at least a part of the photographed image and displaying the second image, wherein the first image is one of the one or more images printed on the one or more repositionable notes in the photographed image and the second image is one of the received one or more images.
According to still another aspect of the present disclosure, a printer system for printing a repositionable note includes: a server that manages a chat room; a printer that prints a repositionable note, and one or more user clients linked to the printer via Bluetooth and connected to the chat room, wherein the one or more user clients upload one or more images to the server through the chat room and transmit the uploaded one or more images to the printer and the printer prints one or more repositionable notes on which the one or more images received from the one or more user clients are printed. A first client that is one of the one or more user clients obtains a photographed image of the one or more repositionable notes on which the one or more images are printed and transmits a first image which is one of the one or more images printed on the one or more repositionable notes in the photographed image to the server, and the server determines the similarity between images uploaded to the server by the first client from a chat room where the first client belongs and the first image and transmits information about a second image with the highest similarity from among one or more images with a higher similarity to the first image than a predetermined reference value to the first client, and the first client substitutes the second image for the first image and displays the second image.
Details of other embodiments will be included in the detailed description and the accompanying drawings.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a solution for conducting a meeting using a chat room and a printer together. In particular, it is possible to photograph and store the result and details of the meeting by using a repositionable note without a need to arrange the result of the meeting.
If the result of the meeting is just photographed, details of the meeting may not be recorded clearly. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a photographed image is updated by using an original file uploaded to the server, and, thus, the details of the meeting can be recorded clearly. Further, since the result of the meeting is photographed, the result of an offline meeting and files exchanged in a meeting using a chat room can be arranged simultaneously, and, thus, there is no need to take minutes.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, if multiple printers are used, it may be inconvenient for a participant client of a chat room to search and link to a printer individually. Further, in some cases, there is a need to prevent anyone from freely using the chat room or the printers.
The present disclosure enables a chat room and a printer to be easily used and only participants present in a meeting to use the chat room and the printer and thus provides high security.

The respective one or more sensing channels 122 to 128 of the sensing unit 120 may use the mechanical switches to sense the numbers indicated by the respective one or more indicator channels 412 to 418.
In another embodiment, the color information of the repositionable note 300 may be expressed in another form. For example, the color information of the repositionable note 300 may be expressed as a quaternary number, a decimal number, or a hexadecimal number. Each of the one or more indicator channels 412 to 418 included in the indication unit 410 of the cartridge 400 may indicate each digit of a quaternary number, a decimal number, or a hexadecimal number that expresses the color information of the repositionable note 300.
Each of the one or more sensing channels included in the sensing unit 120 of the printer 100 may sense each digit of a quaternary number, a decimal number, or a hexadecimal number that expresses the color information of the repositionable note 300 indicated by each of the one or more indicator channels 412 to 418 included in the indication unit 410 of the cartridge 400.
For example, each of the one or more indicator channels 412 to 418 may indicate each digit of a quaternary number, a decimal number, or a hexadecimal number based on the intensity of a current flowing from each of the indicator channels 412 to 418, the value of a resistance of each of the indicator channels 412 to 418, or magnetic force of the magnet included in each of the indicator channels 412 to 418.
The one or more sensing channels included in the sensing unit 120 of the printer 100 may obtain color information of the repositionable note 300 from the respective one or more indicator channels 412 to 418.
Further, the printer 100 may receive information about a remaining amount of the repositionable note 300 from the cartridge 400. For example, each of the one or more indicator channels 412 to 418 of the cartridge 400 may be set to indicate information about a remaining amount of the accommodated repositionable note 300.
For example, some of the one or more indicator channels 412 to 418 may indicate color information of the repositionable note 300 and some of the others may indicate information about a remaining amount of the repositionable note 300. For another example, each of the one or more indicator channels 412 to 418 may indicate each digit of a binary number, a quaternary number, a decimal number, or a hexadecimal number which is a combination of color information and information about a remaining amount of the repositionable note 300.
For another example, the printer 100 may include a means for measuring a weight of the cartridge 400 accommodated in the cartridge accommodation unit 110. The printer 100 may estimate a remaining amount of the repositionable note 300 accommodated in the cartridge 400 based on a weight of the cartridge 400.
In an embodiment, the printer 100 may include a display unit configured to display recognized color information of the repositionable note 300.
In an embodiment, the printer 100 may include an LED display unit 130 configured to display recognized color information of the repositionable note 300 on the outside of the printer 100. For example, the LED display unit 130 may include white, yellow and green LEDs and turns on an LED corresponding to the recognized color information of the repositionable note 300.
In another embodiment, the LED display unit 130 may be configured as a lighting apparatus capable of displaying various colors. The LED display unit 130 may display a color corresponding to the recognized color information of the repositionable note 300.
In an embodiment, the printer 100 may include a display 140 configured to display the recognized color information of the repositionable note 300. The display 140 may display a color corresponding to the recognized color information of the repositionable note 300. Further, the display 140 may display the recognized color of the repositionable note 300 as text.
In an embodiment, the printer 100 may include a lighting apparatus 150 configured to display the recognized color of the repositionable note 300 on the inside of the printer 100. Further, a housing of the printer 100 may be formed of a material that transmits light of the lighting apparatus 150. For example, the housing of the printer 100 may be formed of a white plastic material that is opaque but transmits light of the lighting apparatus 150.
Therefore, the housing of the printer 100 may be outwardly changed in color to the recognized color of the repositionable note 300.
In an embodiment, the printer 100 may recognize a color of the repositionable note 300 for printing and change a Bluetooth search name according to the recognized color of the repositionable note 300 for printing.
In an embodiment, the Bluetooth search name of the printer 100 may include a name field 10 indicating a name of the printer 100 and a color field 20 indicating a color of the repositionable note for printing.
For example, the name of the printer 100 may be printer1. The name field 10 of the Bluetooth search name is not changed by a change in color of the repositionable note 300 for printing and may be used for searching the printer 100.
The color field 20 may represent a color of the repositionable note 300 accommodated in the printer 100. For example, if the color of the repositionable note 300 is white, yellow, or green, W, Y, or G may be displayed respectively. However, a method of representing the color of the repositionable note 300 in the color field 20 is not limited thereto.
Further, each of the printer1100, the printer2101, and the printer3102 accommodates a white repositionable note 300, a yellow repositionable note 300, and a green repositionable note 300, respectively.
Therefore, a Bluetooth search name of the printer1100 is printer1_W, a Bluetooth search name of the printer2101 is printer2_Y, and a Bluetooth search name of the printer3102 is printer3_G.
The user client 200 may search Bluetooth devices around itself. On the user client 200, printer1_W, printer2_Y, and printer3_G which are the Bluetooth search names of the printers 100 to 102 may be displayed.
The user may select a printer capable of printing a repositionable note of a desired color with reference to the Bluetooth search names displayed on the user client 200.
In an embodiment, the user client 200 may store pairing information of the printers 100 to 102 or perform pairing. The user client 200 may also perform pairing simultaneously with the printers 100 to 102.
In an embodiment, the repositionable note 300 accommodated in the printer 101 may be replaced. For example, a yellow repositionable note accommodated in the printer 101 may be replaced with a red repositionable note.
The printer 101 may recognized a color of the replaced repositionable note and change the color field of the Bluetooth search name. For example, the printer 101 may change the Bluetooth search name with printer2_R.
In an embodiment, when the Bluetooth search name of the printer 101 is changed, the user client 200 obtains the changed Bluetooth search name of the printer 101. The user client 200 may change the existing Bluetooth search name of the printer 101 with the obtained Bluetooth search name.
In another embodiment, when the Bluetooth search name of the printer 101 is changed, the printer 101 may disconnect itself from the user client 200. The user client 200 may use the name field (printer2) of the printer 101 to perform Bluetooth search again. Even if the Bluetooth search name of the printer 101 is changed, the name field of the Bluetooth search name of the printer 101 is not changed. Therefore, the user client 200 can find the printer 101.
The user client 200 may perform pairing again with the printer 101 which has the changed Bluetooth search name. Therefore, printer2_Y may be deleted from the printer list displayed on the user client 200 and printer2_R may be added thereto.
In an embodiment, all of the printers whose pairing information is stored may be displayed in the printer list. Further, only the printer which is currently paired may be displayed in the printer list.
If only the printer which is currently paired is displayed in the printer list, when pairing with the printer 101 is canceled, printer2_Y may be deleted from the list. Further, when pairing with the printer 101 is performed again, printer2_R may be added to the list.
If all of the printers whose pairing information is stored are displayed in the printer list, even when pairing with the printer 101 is canceled, printer2_Y is not deleted from the list. In this case, it is possible to set a Bluetooth search name of a printer to be deleted when pairing with the printer is canceled. If so, however, pairing information needs to be searched and stored again to link again.
Therefore, the user client 200 may be set not to delete a Bluetooth search name from the printer list when pairing is canceled, but to delete a previously stored printer name when a printer name with the same name field and a different color field is added later.
For example, if printer2_R is searched and added to the printer list, printer2_Y may be deleted to avoid confusion of the user.
In an embodiment, the user client 200 displays an edit screen 210 of an image to be printed by a printer. The user may use the edit screen 210 displayed on the user client 200 to create an image or text to be printed on a repositionable note by the printer.
