Abstract

Disclosed herein is data communication that is implemented by capturing video including a plurality of different image codes and executing data matched with the image code to communicate a large amount of data while still displaying an image code for data communication in a minimum area.

Claims

1. A data communication device using video, the data communication device comprising a first terminal for capturing video including a plurality of different image codes and executing data matched with the image codes.

2. The data communication device according to claim 1, wherein the image codes include a start identification pattern, a code pattern, and an end identification pattern.

3. The data communication device according to claim 2, wherein the first terminal includes:

a photographing unit for capturing the video including the image codes;

an image code storage unit for storing the captured image codes therein;

a data storage unit for storing data matched with the image codes therein; and

a controller for extracting the data matched with the image codes from the data storage unit and executing the data.

4. The data communication device according to claim 3, wherein the controller includes:

a start and end identifier for checking the start identification pattern and the end identification pattern;

an image code processor for storing an image code presented between the start identification pattern and the end identification pattern of the video, in the image code storage unit;

a data extractor for extracting the data matched with the image code from the data storage unit; and

an executor for executing the data extracted from the data extractor.

5. The data communication device according to claim 2, wherein the code pattern includes patterns obtained by modifying at least one geometrical figure to at least five types of patterns, each pattern being set to a different code.

6. The data communication device according to claim 2, wherein the code pattern includes patterns obtained by modifying the geometrical figure in six or more colors, each pattern being set to a different code.

7. The data communication device according to claim 5, wherein the code pattern includes patterns obtained by modifying the geometrical figure in six or more colors, each pattern being set to a different code.

8. The data communication device according to claim 7, wherein the geometrical figure includes a triangle, a quadrangle, and a circle.

9. A data communication method using video, the data communication method comprising capturing video including a plurality of different image codes and executing data matched with the image codes.

10. The data communication method according to claim 9, wherein the image codes include a start identification pattern, a code pattern, and an end identification pattern.

11. The data communication method according to claim 10, further comprising:

determining whether the start identification pattern is present in the captured video after the capturing is started;

capturing and storing a reproduced image code when it is determined that the start identification pattern is present;

determining whether the end identification pattern is present;

analyzing the stored image code and extracting data matched with the image code when it is determined that the end identification pattern is present; and

executing the data extracted in the analyzing and extracting.

12. The data communication method according to claim 11, wherein the code pattern includes patterns obtained by modifying at least one geometrical figure to at least five types of patterns, each pattern being set to a different code.

13. The data communication method according to claim 12, wherein the code pattern includes patterns obtained by modifying the geometrical figure in six or more colors, each pattern being set to a different code.

14. The data communication method according to claim 13, wherein the geometrical figure includes a triangle, a quadrangle, and a circle.
