Provided are a printing control unit that performs control so that printing is performed in a state in which character shape deformation is made in association with meta information that is meta information acquired on the basis of print data and indicates meaning of characters, and a digitalization unit that generates meta information corresponding to character shape deformation of characters when generating digital data including character data by inputting a read image of a printed matter to generate digital data including meta information in addition to the character data. The meta information is embedded in the printed matter in an aspect of character shape deformation of characters, and when generating digital data by reading the printed matter, the character shape deformation is recognized to generate meta information corresponding to the deformation. According to this, it is possible to perform retrieval of information using the meta information and the character data.

Meta information transmission system through printed matter, printing control apparatus, printed matter reading apparatus, method for applying meta information for printed matter, and method for acquiring meta information from printed matter

The present invention provides a flavor inhaler includes a flavor releasing unit provided with at least one holding part for storing a flavor component and an aerosol-forming substrate, an aerosol generation part for generating an aerosol containing the flavor component from the contents of the holding part, and a flavor providing part configured to direct the aerosol generated by the aerosol generation part to a user, a speaker unit provided with an oscillator for generating a sound wave and a speaker interface for transmitting the sound wave from the oscillator to the user's skull, and a controller for controlling the flavor releasing unit and the speaker unit so that generation of the aerosol and generation of the sound wave are in coordination with each other.

Flavor inhaler

A host computer (), wherein the computer is equipped with a font availability determination unit () for determining whether or not the font and glyph image specified for characters to be printed are available in a printer () and an outline image transmission unit () for transmitting an outline image of the specified font to the printer () in cases in which it is determined that the font and the like are not available in the printer, and by transmitting the outline image to the printer () to print, it is possible to print using a character format which is infinitely close to the font specified by the host computer () even in cases in which the specified font and the like are not available in the printer ().
