DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, a method for producing an album according to the first invention of the present application will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram for explaining an embodiment of a system used in the album producing method of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an embodiment of an album produced by the album producing method of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the album shown in FIG. 2 in an opened state, FIG. 4 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view of each page of the album shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a step of covering a print image with the steps of FIG.

[0011] The method for producing an album of the first invention of the present application is as follows.
A step of photographing a moving image by the video camera 1, a step of selecting a still image to be used from the moving image, a step of appropriately editing the still image to produce each album constituent image 2, and printing each album constituent image 2 And a step of binding using each print image 3 on which each album composition image 2 is printed. Hereinafter, each step will be sequentially described in detail.

In the step of shooting a moving image by the video camera 1, video shooting is performed on a required object according to the purpose of producing an album. For example, when creating a wedding anniversary album, a video of a wedding, a reception, or the like is video-recorded in the same manner as a normal commemorative video is captured. As a video camera used for shooting, a digital video camera is preferable in terms of image quality, but a camera using an analog video camera is also included in the scope of the present invention.

As described above, according to the album producing method of the present invention, since an album is produced using a moving image photographed by a video camera, an album can be produced in addition to video by video photographing, which is efficient and cost effective. Can be reduced.

In the step of selecting a still image to be used from a moving image, a plurality of still images to be used for an album are determined by reproducing the moving image. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a video tape photographed and recorded by a video camera 1 is inserted into a video deck 4 and played back, and is visually viewed on a display of a monitor 5 by frame advance, fast forward or rewind as appropriate. The still image is selected and determined. In this embodiment, the monitor 5
Is used to select the most suitable still image on a larger screen. The image is directly taken from the video camera 1 to the computer (personal computer) 6 without using the monitor 5, and the still image is selected. Is also good.

As described above, in the album producing method of the present invention, since a still image to be used in the album is selected from a moving image, a perfect photo opportunity such as a natural expression of a person or a best scene is not missed, and the optimal It is possible to use natural cuts for albums, and easily create albums that are natural, individual and realistic.

In the step of preparing the respective album constituent images by appropriately editing the still images, the selected still images are taken into the computer 6 and pasted to prepare the respective album constituent images 2 constituting the album. As a method of capturing a still image into a computer, various types of image capturing software or an apparatus having an image capturing function can be used. In this embodiment, image capturing software is used. As a method for editing a still image on a computer, various types of image editing software or a device having an image editing function can be used. In this embodiment, image editing software is used. Furthermore, when taking an image with an analog video camera, an apparatus or software having an A / D conversion function is further required in order to capture an image into a computer.

As described above, according to the album producing method of the present invention, since the album constituent images are produced on the computer, there is no need to paste the photos to be actually used on the album mount or to produce the composition. The album composition image can be formed relatively easily. Also, if image editing software having various editing functions is used, the degree of freedom of editing is extremely high, and a more individual album can be formed.

In the step of printing each album constituent image, each album constituent image produced on a computer is sequentially printed on a sheet of a predetermined size (A4 size in this embodiment). In this embodiment, each album constituent image 2 is printed by the digital printer 7 to form each print image 3.

In the bookbinding process using each print image 3, bookbinding is performed so that each page of the album is formed by each print image 3 formed by printing each album composition image 2.

In this embodiment, an album is bound by attaching each print image 3 to a booklet 9 formed by binding a plurality of mounts 8 as shown in FIG. However, the bookbinding step of the present invention is not limited to such a method, but broadly encompasses a method of binding using each printed image formed by printing each album constituent image.

Further, the bookbinding step of this embodiment includes a step of covering each printed image with an ultraviolet ray blocking film (UV cut film) 10. Specifically, in the coating step of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the printed image 3 is inserted between the two sheets of the ultraviolet shielding film 10, and the printed image 3 is coated on the ultraviolet shielding film 10. In the wrapped state,
This is performed by heat sealing through the crimping machine 11.

As described above, since each printed image is covered with the ultraviolet shielding film, it does not fade by ultraviolet rays, is not contaminated by moisture or other deposits, and maintains the state at the time of manufacture for a long time. A possible album can be created.

As shown in FIG. 4, each printed image 3 of this embodiment is covered on both sides with an ultraviolet blocking film 10. This is to make the protection of each printed image 3 more sufficient, so that both sides are held in the same state, and only one side can be prevented from contracting or expanding. However, those covered with an ultraviolet blocking film only on the front side are also included in the scope of the present invention. In the coating step of this embodiment, the printed image was wrapped with an ultraviolet shielding film, passed through a pressure bonding machine and heat-sealed, and then the edges were cut and the size was adjusted. And heat sealed. The purpose of this is to prevent the ultraviolet shielding film from peeling off from the end by heat-sealing the cut edge and bringing the ultraviolet shielding film into close contact with the printed image.

The printed image 3 covered with the ultraviolet blocking film 10 is attached to the backing sheet 8 using an adhesive such as a double-sided tape (not shown).

Further, in the bookbinding process of this embodiment, a cover image 12 is prepared by photographing a moving image by the video camera 1, selecting a still image to be used from the moving image, and appropriately editing the still image. The method includes a step of enclosing the booklet 9 with the cover 13 formed through the step and the step of printing the cover picture 12.

Here, the moving image photographing step, the still image selecting step, the step of preparing a cover image 12 by appropriately editing the still image, and the step of printing the cover image 12 to form the cover 13 are described above. This is the same as the production process of the printed image 3 described above, and the description is omitted.

In the step of enclosing the booklet 9 with the cover 13, as shown in FIG.
b is folded inward and attached to the front cover and back cover of the booklet 9. Since the cover 13 includes the cover image 12 formed by a still image selected from a moving image as shown in FIG. 2, an individual and individual album can be produced from the appearance before the content of the album.

Next, the second invention of the present application will be described. The second invention of the present application is a method for producing an album including a step of taking a photograph, a step of editing each page using a photograph, and a step of binding using each page. This is a method for producing an album having a step of covering at least the surface side of a page with an ultraviolet ray blocking film.

The only feature of the present invention is that the bookbinding step has a step of covering at least the front side of each page with an ultraviolet ray blocking film, and the other steps are the same as those of the conventional album in that the photographing is performed. You can attach the photo directly to the mount,
Alternatively, the composition is created by creating a composition using a photograph and then printing the composition, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the step of covering at least the front side of each page with an ultraviolet shielding film, a backing sheet on which a photograph is pasted, or an underlay manuscript on which a photograph is pasted, is printed, and then a printed original is printed. The coating is performed in the same manner as in the step of coating the ultraviolet ray blocking film according to the first aspect of the invention. As a result, it is possible to produce an album which is not faded by ultraviolet rays, is not contaminated by moisture or other deposits, and can maintain the state at the time of production for a long period of time.
