SkyDesk Media Switch

Overview

SkyDesk Media Switch is a cloud service that supports marketing activities and links paper documents to multimedia content such as websites using Embedded Media Markers

An authoring tool developed for this technology is used to specify the area in a document in which to embed the information and digital content to be linked. Then, after the authoring tool confirms the proper size and location for extracting the image features, a nearly transparent marker is created in the area. The image data encompassed by the marker boundary and the linked digital content are sent to a server together, and then the features of the image inside the marker and the digital content are registered in a database. The marker indicating where the digital content is embedded is also printed on the paper document distributed to customers, which enables them to access the contents via smartphones that have the SkyDesk Media Switch application installed.
