The present invention proposes a dot pattern on which code information and x and y coordinate information can be defined even if the dot pattern is extremely small, and proposes an information reproducing method and an information reproducing device based on the dot pattern. More specifically, a medium such as a printed material on which is formed a dot pattern portion by arranging in accordance with a given rule dots generated by a dot code generating algorithm in order to recognize various kinds of multimedia information is scanned as image data by scanning means. Then, the image data is converted into code data. Multimedia information corresponding to the code data is read out of storing means to be reproduced.

A book is provided which comprises front and back covers (12,14) and a plurality of pages (16) bound between the covers. A plurality of the pages (16) each have an aperture (18) and the resulting plurality of apertures cooperate with the back cover (14) to define a recess (22) extending through the pages. The book further comprises a container (24) attached to the back cover (14) so as to be located in the recess (22). The book may have multiple recesses and associated containers.

A folding book moves between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. The book includes a book body and a plurality of layers forming the book body. Each layer moves between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration. The folding book moves from the collapsed configuration to the expanded configuration by moving each layer of the plurality of layers from the folded configuration to the unfolded configuration in a predetermined order.

The present invention proposes a dot pattern on which code information and x and y coordinate information can be defined even if the dot pattern is extremely small, and proposes an information reproducing method and an information reproducing device based on the dot pattern. More specifically, a medium such as a printed material on which is formed a dot pattern portion by arranging in accordance with a given rule dots generated by a dot code generating algorithm in order to recognize various kinds of multimedia information is scanned as image data by scanning means. Then, the image data is converted into code data. Multimedia information corresponding to the code data is read out of storing means to be reproduced.

A printed material with a sticker integrally includes a sticker and a mounting paper to be attached with the removed sticker. The printed material includes a sheet body that is applied with printing of at least the sticker and the mounting paper, a sticker region that is formed by folding at least a part of the sheet body, and a mounting paper region that is formed in a region other than the sticker region. In the printed material, at least one of the sticker formed in the sticker region is a standing sticker including a standing fold that extends in a transverse direction of the sheet body, and an adhesive part and a non-adhesive part that are formed on a back surface of the sticker to face each other across the standing fold.
