The size is 30 MB for a × 1 mm one. Note that a card called a hybrid card may be used as the CD card 6. The hybrid card is a CD shown below
The configuration is the same as that of the card 6, and the disk 62
This is a card integrally provided with a D-ROM and a recordable CD-R, and has a storage capacity of, for example, 30 MB.
This example will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, the CD card 6 is constructed by inserting a disk-shaped disk 62 on which data is recorded into the center of a card-shaped case 61.
Is rotatable along the same plane as the case 61.

The disk 62 is a so-called CD-ROM
It is the same as a recording medium used as (Compact Disk Read Only Memory), and is configured by sandwiching a metal foil between two transparent resin disks such as polycarbonate. The portion corresponding to the metal foil is a recording track area 65 which is a read-only ROM area. The recording track area 65 includes a recording area called a track spirally or concentrically along the circumference of the disk 62. Are formed. Signal pits 65a are appropriately formed on this track. The signal pit 65a is a hole formed in a surface of the resin disk sandwiching the metal foil and in contact with the metal foil. Therefore, when viewed from the recording surface side of the disk 62, the signal pits 65a protrude.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen displayed on the display 9.

The respective processes according to the respective flowcharts shown in FIGS. 9 to 12 are executed by the CPU 30 reading out the program corresponding to the respective flowcharts from the ROM 32, and each operation is performed by each unit.

First, the mode processing will be described with reference to FIG. In the mode processing, the CPU 30 detects a mode key operation of the key input unit 31 (Step S).
1) The processing program specified by the mode key operation is read from the ROM 32, and various processing is executed according to the read processing program.

The processing specified in this mode processing is the automatic body size measurement processing shown in FIG.
2), clothing setting processing (step S3) shown in FIG. 11, display correction processing (step S4) shown in FIG. 12, output mode setting processing (step S5) shown in FIG. 16, and communication processing shown in FIG. 25 (step S6; (Fourth embodiment).
First, when an automatic measuring process of the following body shape is designated, C
The PU 30 reads the corresponding processing program from the ROM 32 and starts processing according to the processing program.

In the automatic measuring process for the body shape shown in FIG. 10, the CPU 30 sets the subject 100 before the automatic measuring.
Is displayed on the display unit 39. This instruction display is an instruction for the photographing position of the subject 100, for example, as shown in FIG.
M1, a message "Please enter the dotted frame", a dotted frame 22b, and the like. afterwards,
Upon recognizing that the full-body image 100z of the subject 100 captured by the CCD camera 22 is within the dotted frame 22b, an instruction display such as “Please bend one elbow” is displayed, and further, “ Please stay "
Is displayed (step S101).

Then, the CPU 30 determines that each side wall surface 1Ga,
Each of the light emitting elements 43a arranged at 1 Gb and 1 Gc emits light for a predetermined period of time, for example, 10 seconds.
An image of the whole body is taken by the D camera 22. The image captured at this time is a whole body image 100z of the front of the subject 100. When the whole body image 100z of the subject 100 is photographed by the CCD camera 22, the CPU 30 stores the photographed whole body image 100z in the image data RAM 33b (step S102).

During this time, when the light receiving element 43b paired with each light emitting element 43a detects the reflected light of the light emitted from the light emitting element 43a (step S103), the CP
U30 measures the reflection time t, which is the time from when the light emitted from the light emitting element 43a is transmitted to when the reflected light is received by the light receiving element 43b. The measurement of the reflection time t is performed for each light emitting / receiving element 43 of each pair. By emitting light for the predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) as described above, the measurement of the reflection time t can be repeated several times in each light-emitting / light-receiving element 43. Each pair of light-emitting and light-receiving elements 4 measured repeatedly multiple times
Each of the three reflection times t is stored as measurement time data in the measurement time data RAM 33h in association with the coordinate position where the light emitting / receiving element 43 is located (step S).
104; see FIG. 8).

Thereafter, the CPU 30 sets the image data RAM
Full-body image 10 of the subject 100 stored in 33b
0z is read, and only the contour is extracted from the whole-body image 100z. When extracting the outline of the whole body image 100z, a process of extracting the outline of the image by performing a differential operation on the read whole body image 100z is executed. In the contour,
Since the density value changes rapidly, a differential operation for extracting a change in the function is employed. The differentiation includes a primary differentiation (gradient) and a secondary differentiation (Laplacian), and any of the primary differentiation and the secondary differentiation can be used for contour extraction.

For example, in the first derivative, the value of the first derivative representing the gradient of the density at the coordinates (x, y) of the pixel of interest is the derivative in the x direction: fx = f (x + 1, y) -f
(X, y) Differentiation in y direction fy = f (x, y + 1) −f
(X, y). In an actual calculation, a calculation is performed in which surrounding pixels are multiplied by a coefficient corresponding to the position using a set of coefficients called a differential operator to obtain a sum. When the contour extraction for all pixels by the differential operation is completed, the extracted contour data is stored in the contour data RAM 33d (step S10).
5). Regarding the extraction of the contour data, the subject 10
Considering that it is difficult for 0 to become a completely stationary state, it is repeated a plurality of times.

When the CPU 30 measures the reflection time t and extracts the contour a predetermined number of times within the predetermined time (step S106; Yes), the CPU 30 calculates the average values of the measured time data and the extracted contour data. The calculated average value of the measured time data and the average value of the contour data are respectively calculated as the measured time data RAM 33 h and the contour data RAM 3.
3d is updated and stored (step S107).

Thereafter, the CPU 30 sets the extracted subject 1
00, each landmark point sp on the imaging plane 22a is extracted, and the coordinate position sp (x, y) of each landmark point sp on the imaging plane 22a is extracted.
Then, the coordinates (X, Y, Z) of the actual landmark point SP (the landmark point on the surface of the subject 100) are obtained from the measured time data.

That is, each coordinate (x,
y) and the coordinates (X, Y) of each light-emitting / light-receiving element 43 arranged on the rear side wall surface 1Gb are associated with the element position table 6d in the CD card 6 (FIG. 8).
(See (A) and (B)), and extract the coordinates (X, Y) of the light-emitting / light-receiving element 43 arranged at a position corresponding to the coordinates sp (x, y) of the landmark point sp on the imaging plane 22a. . In addition, the light emission and
The measurement time data measured by the light receiving element 43 is read from the measurement time data RAM 33h, and the third coordinate Z is obtained based on the measurement time data. The obtained coordinates Z are the coordinates SP of the actual landmark point.
(X, Y, Z) is associated with the X coordinate and the Y coordinate, and is stored in the coordinate position data RAM 33g.

Further, the CPU 30 obtains the height of each part of the subject 100 based on the actual coordinate position data (X, Y, Z) of the landmark point SP. For example, when determining the length dimension of "sleeve length", the coordinate position data of the landmark points SP1, SP2, and SP3 shown in FIG. 13 are read from the coordinate position data RAM 33g, and the actual landmark points SP1 to SP2 are read. The distance and the distance from SP2 to SP3 are determined, and the sum of the determined distances is defined as the “sleeve length”. Similarly, the dimensions of “height”, “height”, “hip height”, “rise”, and “inseam” are calculated, and the length dimension of each part is stored in the length dimension data RAM 33i of the body shape data RAM 33n. (Step S109).

Next, the CPU 30 obtains the dimension around each part. When calculating the circumference dimension, the CPU 30 determines from the contour data the actual coordinates y of the landmark points BL, WL, HL, etc. on the imaging plane 22a (see FIG. 13) in the height direction on the imaging plane 22a. Each light-emitting / light-receiving element 43 arranged at the coordinate Y in the height direction is extracted from the element position table 6d. Then, third coordinates of each light-emitting / light-receiving element position are obtained from the extracted measurement time data calculated in each light-emitting / light-receiving element 43 (FIG. 8B).
(C) and (D)).

For example, when determining the circumference of the "waist", the coordinate y in the height direction of the landmark point WL of the "waist" is detected from the contour data, and the actual height corresponding to the landmark point WL is detected. Y is obtained, and a plurality of light-emitting / light-receiving elements 43 arranged at the position of the coordinate Y in the height direction on the side walls 1Ga, 1Gb, and 1Gc are read from the element position table 6d. Side wall surface 1Ga, 1
From (Gc), the (Y, Z) coordinates of the read light emitting / receiving elements 43 are read, and (X, Y) coordinates are determined from the side wall surface 1Gb. Further, the measurement time data measured by the light emitting / receiving elements 43 is read from the measurement time data RAM 33h, and the third coordinates are obtained based on the measurement time data. For the position of the side wall surfaces 1Ga and 1Gc, the X coordinate is obtained as the third coordinate, and for the position of the side wall surface 1Gb, the Z coordinate is obtained as the third coordinate.

The landmark point W obtained
The coordinates (X, Y, Z) of each point on L are stored in the coordinate position data RAM 33g, and the sum of the distances between adjacent points is calculated to calculate the circumference.

In this way, the CPU 30 calculates the dimension around each part. The calculated circumference dimension for each part is
Size data RAM33j around body shape data 33n
(Step S110).

In this manner, the automatic measurement of the body shape is completed, and FIG.

FIG. 22 is a diagram showing an example of a one-piece WP completed by actually cutting a cloth using printed and cut pattern paper.

In the following description, the body shape data such as the height and the circumference of each part of the subject 100 is measured and measured in the automatic body shape measurement processing shown in FIG.
In the clothing setting process shown in FIG. 11, the clothing type, design, pattern, and color of the clothing are specified, and the input of the wearer's name, creation date, and memo has been completed.
3f stores designated clothing data F, design data D, picture data E, color data C, name, creation date, memo input data DT, and FIG. In the display / correction processing shown, the size is determined based on the measured body shape data, and the selected clothing type, design, pattern, color, and size are corrected and registered. The image data RAM 33b
Stores the image data of the composite image GG of the clothing image FG corresponding to the registered clothing data.

First, the output mode setting processing of FIG. 16 will be described. The output mode setting process is a process of designating how to output clothes and the pattern thereof by an instruction operation from the key input unit 31. When the output mode setting process is started, the seal paper 7 serving as a print medium is mounted on the platen roller 12 of the print cutting mechanism 1E, and the carriage 2
, The cassette 8 is mounted, and the carriage 2 has been moved to the leftmost home position.

In the output mode setting processing, the CPU 30
Waits for a setting input of one of the clothes output mode and the paper pattern output mode by operating the mode key of the key input unit 31. The clothing output mode is shown in FIGS.
Clothing image FG and subject 1 set in each process of
The synthetic image GG combined with the whole-body image 100z
The pattern output processing mode is a mode in which the pattern corresponding to the clothing set in FIGS. 10 to 12 is printed or cut on the seal paper 7.

When any one of the processing modes is input (step A1), the CPU 30 determines whether or not the set processing mode is the clothing output mode (step A2; Yes). When the clothing output mode is set and input (Step A2; Yes), the key input unit 31 is further provided.
(Step A3), and when the print key is pressed (step A3; Yes),
Shift to clothing print processing (step A4; FIG. 16B)
reference).

If the clothing output mode is not set and the pattern output mode is set and input in step A1 (step A2; No), the CPU 30 further sets
When an instruction of printing and cutting by simultaneous operation of the print key and the cutting key is detected (step A5; Ye)
s), a control program for printing the pattern paper is read from the ROM 32, and a pattern printing process (see FIG. 17; step A6) described later is executed to control the operations of the carriage 2, the thermal head 10, and the platen roller 12. Then, a pattern corresponding to the clothing data is printed on the seal paper 7 attached to the platen roller 12. Upon completion of the pattern printing process, the CPU 30 reads a control program for cutting the printed pattern from the ROM 32, executes a pattern cutting process (see FIG. 18; step A7) described later, and executes the carriage 2, the cutter 41, and the platen. The operation of the roller 12 is controlled to cut the pattern printed on the seal paper 7 along a predetermined cut line CL.

In step A5, if only the cutting key of the key input section 31 is operated (step A5; No), the pattern cutting process (see FIG. 18; step A8) is executed without passing the pattern printing process. Then, the seal paper 7 is cut into a pattern shape. When shifting to the clothing printing process (see FIG. 16B) or the pattern printing process (see FIG. 17), the cutter 41 is evacuated to a position (up position) where the seal paper 7 cannot be cut prior to the process. deep.

Next, the clothing printing process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In the clothing printing process, the CPU
30 reads out image data from the image data RAM 33b. In the image data RAM 33b, in the display / correction processing shown in FIG. 12, a composite image GG of the clothing image FG corresponding to the registered clothing data and the image of the subject 100 is displayed.
Is stored, the combined image GG is read (step A101).

Further, the CPU 30 calculates an enlargement factor for making the synthesized image GG a real size from the sheet size of the sticker sheet 7. That is, since the seal paper 7 uses paper of a size such as A4 or B5, the composite image GG is printed on the seal paper 7 at a predetermined reduced scale so as to be printed in an appropriate size. Calculates the enlargement factor for copying to the actual size based on the sheet size of the seal paper 7 and the scale factor, and stores the calculated enlargement factor in the enlargement factor data RAM 33k (step A102).

The read composite image GG is sent as print data to the thermal head drive circuit 35 to drive the thermal head 10 and control the motor drive circuit 36 to move the carriage 2 from the home position. With this drive, the control of the printing position of the first character of the first line on the seal paper 7 sent to the platen roller 12 and the printing process are executed (step A103).

Driving of thermal head 10, carriage 2
, The printing of the data to be printed in the first line is repeated,
When the printing of the first line is completed (step A104; Ye)
s), the CPU 30 controls the motor drive circuit 36 to rotate the platen roller 12 to the next line (step A10).
Return the carriage 2 to the home position with 5),
It is determined whether printing of all the rows, that is, printing of the composite image GG, has been completed.

If the printing of all the rows has not been completed (Step A106; No), the printing of the print data of the corresponding rows is performed by driving the thermal head 10 and driving the carriage 2. Thereafter, when printing of all the rows of the composite image GG is completed (Step A106; Yes), the enlargement ratio data is further read from the enlargement ratio data RAM 33k, and the enlargement ratio is printed on the sticker paper 7 (Step A1).
07). The carriage 2 is returned to the home position of the line where printing is completed, and the seal paper 7 on which the composite image GG, the enlargement ratio, etc. are printed by rotating the platen roller 12 is provided on the main body 1B of the print sticker terminal device 1. The clothing printing process is completed.

Next, the pattern printing process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In the pattern printing process, the CPU 30
Reads out the clothing data from the clothing data RAM 33f. That is, in the clothing setting process shown in FIG. 11 and the display / correction process shown in FIG. 12, the clothing type data F, the design data D, the picture data E, the color data C, and the size data set or registered after the correction. Z, input data DT
Is read. Further, the pattern image KG of the image data IMG corresponding to the read clothes data is read from the pattern memory area of the image ROM 6b of the CD card 6, and the read pattern image KG is displayed on the display unit 39 (step A201). ).

At this time, the CPU 30 corrects the read pattern image KG based on the data expanded vertically and horizontally in the display / correction processing. That is, for example, when a portion (length) corresponding to the height dimension of the clothing image FG is extended in the display / correction processing, the corresponding part PT of the pattern image KG is extended according to the extended dimension. Further, when a portion (horizontal) corresponding to the circumference dimension of the clothing image FG synthesized and displayed is extended, the extended dimension is set to 2
Alternatively, the dimension divided by 4 is added to or subtracted from the dimension of the corresponding part of the original pattern image KG to correct the dimension of the corresponding part PT of the pattern image KG (step S202).

Further, the CPU 30 calculates an enlargement factor for making the pattern image KG actual size from the sheet size of the seal sheet 7. As for the calculation of the enlargement ratio, the enlargement ratio for making the pattern image KG actual size is calculated in the same manner as the above-mentioned clothing printing process, and the calculated enlargement ratio is set to the enlargement ratio data R
It is stored in the AM 33k (step A203).

Thereafter, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the dress cloth sign TG corresponding to the read out clothing data is stored in the image ROM 6b (step A204). (Step A20
4; Yes), and further, the front cloth sign TG is stored in the image ROM 6b.
From the table cloth sign memory area (step A2)
05), the read pattern image KG and the front cloth joint signal TG are sent to the thermal head drive circuit 35 as print data to drive the thermal head 10 and control the motor drive circuit 36 to move the carriage 2 from the home position. Moving. The control of the printing position of the first character in the first line on the seal paper 7 sent to the platen roller 12 by this drive and the printing process are executed (step A20).
6). It should be noted that the clothing data RA
If the dress cloth sign TG corresponding to the clothing data read from M33f is not stored in the image ROM 6b (Step A204; No), the process proceeds to Step A206 without performing the process of Step A205.

When printing the pattern image KG or the pattern image KG and the front cover joint drawing TG, the CPU 30 repeats the printing of the print data of the first line by driving the thermal head 10 and the carriage 2 (step S1). A206), 1
When the printing of the line is completed (Step A207; Ye
s), the CPU 30 controls the motor drive circuit 36 to rotate the platen roller 12 to the next line (step A20).
8) Return the carriage 2 to the home position with
It is determined whether printing of all the rows, that is, printing of the pattern image KG or, if the dress cloth sign TG is stored, printing of the pattern image KG and the dress cloth sign TG is completed.

If the printing of all the rows has not been completed (step A209; No), the print data of the corresponding rows is printed by driving the thermal head 10 and the carriage 2 (step A206).

Thereafter, when printing of all the lines is completed (step A209; Yes), the carriage 2 is returned to the home position of the line where printing is completed, and the enlargement ratio data is read from the enlargement ratio data RAM 33k. The rate is printed on the seal paper 7 (step S210; FIG. 19)
M11). Thereafter, the carriage 2 is returned to the home position of the line where printing has been completed, and the pattern printing process is completed.

In the clothing printing process and the pattern printing process, the data to be printed is converted into a composite image GG, a pattern image KG,
Although the process of printing the front cloth sign TG and its enlargement ratio as print data on the sticker 7 has been described, the print data includes the name input in the clothing setting process, the date of creation,
The input data DT, the sewing order NJ, and the like are read out together with the clothing data, the image data, and the pattern image KG, including the input data DT such as a memo and the sewing order NJ stored in the image ROM 6b. You may print. In addition, as shown in FIG. 19, in addition to the pattern image KG and the dress cloth sign TG, the data to be printed includes “numerals” indicating the dimensions of each part inside and outside of the pattern image KG and the dress cloth sign TG. Various "sewing terms" MZ such as SZ, "look back", "sewing stop" may be printed together.

In the example shown in FIG. 19, pattern images KG having different sizes and "numerals" SZ indicating their dimensions are mixed and printed on the same seal paper 7 for convenience.
For example, when printing an M-size pattern image KG, only the “numerical” SZ of the M size corresponding to the image KG is printed, and the “numerical” SZ of the other S and L sizes are not printed. (See FIG. 19 described later).

Next, the pattern cutting process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In the pattern cutting process, the CPU 30 reads out the clothing data from the clothing data RAM 33f. That is, the clothing type data F, the design data D, the picture data E, the color data C, the size data Z, the memo, etc., specified in the clothing setting processing shown in FIG. 11 or corrected in the display / correction processing shown in FIG. Read the input data DT. Then, the pattern image KG corresponding to the read clothing data is read from the pattern memory area of the image ROM 6b (step A301).

At this time, the CPU 30 corrects the read pattern image KG based on the data expanded vertically and horizontally in the display / correction processing (step A302). This correction is similar to step A202 in FIG.

Thereafter, the CPU 30 sets the motor drive circuit 3
6, the platen roller 12 is reversely rotated to a position before the pattern is printed in the pattern printing process (step A303). When the platen roller 12 reaches the position before printing (step A304; Yes), the read pattern image KG is analyzed, and only the contour of the pattern image KG is extracted (step S3).
05).

That is, when extracting the contour of the pattern image KG,
A process of extracting the outline of the read pattern image KG by differentiating the pattern image KG is executed. When the contour extraction for all pixels by the differential operation is completed, the extracted contour data is set to R
The data is stored in the contour data RAM 33d of the AM 33.

Then, according to the extracted contour data, C
The PU 30 controls the motor drive circuit 36 to drive the platen roller 12 and the carriage 2 to move to the cutting start position, and drives the cutter drive circuit 40 to move the cutting edge of the cutter 41 into contact with the seal paper 7 ( (Down position). Thereafter, the platen roller 12 and the carriage 2 cooperate along the contour data to cut the contour of the pattern (step A306; FIG.
See FIG. 21).

When the cutting of the pattern is completed, the CPU
Numeral 30 is provided on the main body 1B of the print sticker terminal device 1 by rotating the platen roller 12 to print the cut paper pattern image KG, the cut cloth sign TG, the seal paper 7 on which the enlargement ratio and the like are printed. The paper is discharged into the take-out hole 1C, and the pattern cutting processing is completed.

In this example, the read pattern image KG is analyzed to extract only the contour of the pattern image KG, and the contour of the pattern is cut in accordance with the extracted contour data. The pattern image KG itself may be constituted by a diagram showing the contour, and the contour of the pattern may be cut in accordance with the contour data composed of the diagram.

Next, as a specific example, in the clothing setting process shown in FIG. 11, the clothing type “one piece”, the design “sleeveless”, the pattern “stripes”, and the color “red” are designated. The size determined from the size of each part measured in the measuring process is determined as the “M” size, and based on these clothes data, printing,
FIGS. 19 to 2 show examples of printing of the cut pattern image KG on the seal paper 7 and examples of the cut pattern.
This will be described with reference to FIG.

First, in the output mode setting process shown in FIG. 12, the paper pattern output mode is set, the print key and the cutting key are simultaneously operated from the key input section 31, and an instruction for both printing and cutting of the paper pattern is input. Then, the CPU 30 first executes the pattern printing process shown in FIG. The CPU 30 reads out the pattern image KG of the clothing type “one-piece”, the design “sleeveless”, and the size “M” from the pattern memory area of the image ROM 6b, and measures the size of each part of the pattern image KG read in accordance with the expansion of the size. Is adjusted, the enlargement ratio for copying to the actual size is obtained based on the sheet size of the sticker paper 7 to be used, and the dress cloth sign TG of the corresponding clothes, design, and size is displayed on the image ROM 6b in the dress cloth. It reads out from the signal memory area and executes the printing process for each line according to the pattern image KG and the front cloth sign TG.

In the example shown in FIG. 19, the parts PT1 to PT5 of the pattern and the input data DT "Natsumi Ishimura", "2019. 3.26", and "28th birthday" are printed side by side on the upper side of the seal paper 7. Then, on the lower side of the seal paper 7, a front cloth trimming signal TG and stitching sequence data NJ are printed. In addition, at the bottom, "Please enlarge and copy 10 times"
Is printed.

Each part PT1 to PT of the pattern shown in FIG.
Each numerical value shown in 5 shows a dimension, the upper row is S size,
The middle row is the M size, and the lower row is the L size. In FIG. 19, as described above, the patterns for each size are represented on the same drawing, but the actual print size differs for each size, and only the designated size is printed. It is also possible to print the patterns in a superimposed manner according to the actual dimensions of the above three sizes. Also, depending on the scale of the pattern, each of the parts PT1 to PT1 of the pattern may be used.
It is conceivable that PT5 is not printed side by side. In such a case, the parts PT1 to PT5 may be printed side by side on the divided seals 7A separated from the position indicated by the broken line HS.

When the pattern image is copied to the actual size in accordance with the enlargement ratio using a copying machine or the like to form a pattern,
To make it easier to understand the position where each part of the pattern is attached to the cloth, print "Wa" on the "Wa" side of the part to be affixed to the "Wa" position of the cloth, or sew each part May be printed in each part.

When the pattern image KG, the input data DT, the dressing joint signal TG, and the sewing order data NJ are printed, a pattern cutting process is next performed, and the contour RL of the pattern image KG is extracted. Cutting is performed along the extracted contour line RL. FIG. 20 shows that a one-piece pattern image KG is printed on the seal paper 7 and the parts PT1 to PT
5 shows a state where the parts PT1 to PT5 have been peeled off from the seal paper 7 after cutting along the contour line RL of No. 5.

In step A5 of the output mode setting process shown in FIG. 16A, when only the cutting key is operated and an instruction to perform only cutting without printing the pattern image KG is input, The contour line RL extracted from the image KG is cut. FIG.
Is the contour line R extracted from the one-piece pattern image KG.
After the seal paper 7 is cut along L, the parts PT1 to PT5 are peeled off from the seal paper 7.

Each part PT of the pattern shown in FIGS. 20 and 21
1 to PT5 are copied in accordance with the enlargement ratio, each part of the full-size pattern is affixed to the cloth to be cut as shown in the table cloth joint drawing TG, and the cloth shown in FIG. By cutting and sewing the parts according to the sewing method order data NJ, a one-piece WP having a size suitable for a desired clothing type, design, and body shape of the subject 100 as shown in FIG. 22 is completed.

As described above, in the first embodiment, the print sticker terminal device 1 executes the automatic body size measuring process shown in FIG. That is, the subject 10
When the CCD camera 22 shoots 0, the CPU 30
Extracts the contour of the photographed whole body image 100z of the subject 100. In addition, from the time of transmission of the infrared light emitted from the light emitting element 43a, the light receiving element 43b paired with the infrared light is transmitted.
Measures the reflection time t up to the point at which the reflected light is received, and based on the measured reflection time t and the landmark point that is a predetermined coordinate position on the extracted contour, The length and the circumference of each of the 100 parts are calculated.

Then, the print sticker terminal device 1 executes the clothing setting process shown in FIG. That is, a clothing type selection screen 39a for designating clothing type, design, pattern, color, and the like.
And a design selection screen 39b, a picture, and a color selection screen 39c are displayed.
When a picture and a color are designated, and a date and a memo are entered on the data input screen 39e, the designated clothes data F, design data D, picture data E, color data C,

For example, in the clothing setting process (FIG. 11), the CPU 30
Is selected from the images IMG stored in the image ROM 6b.
The design stored in association with the selected clothing type is stored in clothing data RAM 33f. Then, in the display / correction process (FIG. 12), the image of the clothes read from the CD card 6 and the image stored in the image data RAM 33b are combined and displayed.

Therefore, if the subject 100 prepares the CD card 6 on which the image to be synthesized with the photographed image is recorded, the subject 100 inserts the CD card 6 into the print sticker terminal device 1.
, The composite image can be displayed using the image of the desired clothes. In particular, since the CD card 6 is a card type, it is more convenient to carry and handle than a disc-shaped recording medium such as a CD, and the convenience can be improved. In addition, the CD card 6 has a higher degree of freedom in design than a disk-shaped recording medium, and can be more interesting by attracting attention.

Further, since there is no need to store data relating to clothes images and the like in the print sticker terminal device 1, maintenance and management of the print sticker terminal device 1 are easy. That is, in order to attract customers' interest over a long period of time and maintain interest and convenience, it is necessary to update data relating to clothing images and the like and provide new data. However, according to the print sticker terminal device 1 of the present embodiment, since the customer brings the CD card 6 on which the desired image is recorded, there is no need to prepare the data on the print sticker terminal device 1 side, Maintenance and management of the seal terminal device 1 is very easy, and operation costs can be kept low.

Further, while the composite image GG is displayed on the display section 39, corrections such as changing the clothing type, design, picture, and color, and elongating the vertical (length) and horizontal (circumferential) dimensions are made. When the clothing data is corrected, the CPU 30 generates a synthesized image GG obtained by synthesizing the corrected clothing image FG with the image of the subject 100, and displays the synthesized image GG on the display unit 39. By operating the OK key of the key input unit 31, the contents of the correction are stored in the clothing data RAM 3 of the RAM 33.
3f or the image data RAM 33b.

Then, the composite image CG displayed on the display section 39 is printed out by the print cutting mechanism 1E in accordance with the instruction from the customer, so that the customer can obtain the composite image using the clothing image recorded on the CD card 6. Can be obtained. This makes it possible to provide the print seal terminal device 1 that is rich in interest as well as practicality.

Further, the print sticker terminal device 1 executes the output mode setting process shown in FIG. 16 (A) to print the synthesized image GG of the set clothes, or to the set clothes. When one of the pattern output modes for printing or cutting the corresponding pattern is selected, print processing, printing and cutting processing according to the selected mode are executed.

In the clothes output mode, the subject 1 is set based on the automatically measured body shape data and the set clothes data.
A synthetic image GG obtained by synthesizing a clothing image FG conforming to the body shape of 00 with a whole body image 100z of the subject 100 is displayed on a sticker paper 7.

0 is printed on the seal paper 7 of a paper size that can be printed and cut to a suitable size, and the enlargement ratio when copying to the actual size is simultaneously printed.

Therefore, the body shape data of the person to be photographed 100 is automatically measured, and a clothing image and a composite image corresponding to various clothing types, designs, patterns, colors, etc., are displayed.
Since the printed image is printed, the subject 100 can easily and quickly check the self-image of the person wearing the clothes in the composite image GG, as if he / she tried on the clothes without actually changing the clothes. You can enjoy. In addition, since the measurement of the body shape data can be performed without the help of another person, the user can easily use the body shape data.

Further, the body shape data of the person to be photographed 100 is automatically measured, and the pattern image KG and the table cloth sign T corresponding to various kinds of clothes, designs, pictures, colors, etc., which are adapted to the data are automatically measured.
Since the G is displayed and printed, the photographed person 100 can quickly and easily obtain a clothing pattern suitable for his / her body shape. Further, the composite image GG and the pattern image KG are printed together with an enlargement factor for enlarging them to the actual size at the time of printing. A clothing image can be obtained.

In the present embodiment, in the automatic measurement process of the body shape, regarding the measurement of each part, the light emission / disposition arranged at the landmark point of the contour data extracted from the photographed image of the subject 100 is performed. Although an example of measuring using the measurement of the reflection time t of the light detected by the light receiving element 43 has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and each side wall surface 1Ga, 1Gb, 1G of the photographing space 1A of the print seal terminal device 1 is shown.
c, a CCD camera 22 is installed on each of the subjects 10

Also, in FIG. 16A, when the clothing output mode is set, it has been described that the composite image GG of the clothing image FG and the whole body image 100z is printed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Only the information may be printed. Furthermore, in the clothing output mode, the case where printing is performed has been illustrated, but cutting processing may be further performed on the printed image. That is, the cutting process of the clothing image FG and the composite image GG is similar to the pattern cutting process shown in FIG.
The PU 30 extracts the contour of the image to be cut (the clothing image FG or the composite image GG), moves the cutter 41 downward to abut the seal paper 7, and in this state, according to the extracted contour data, the platen roller 12, the carriage 2 and the like. May be moved in the predetermined directions, and cut into the shapes of the clothing image FG and the composite image GG. In this case, it is possible to output an image of a state in which clothes are worn as a seal in that shape.

[Second Embodiment] Next, a second embodiment of the print sticker terminal device 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the second embodiment, the print sticker terminal device 1 uses a CD card 6 capable of recording data. In the print sticker terminal device 1 according to the second embodiment, the same components as those of the print sticker terminal device 1 according to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. Omitted.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the CD card 6. As shown in FIG. The CD card 6 includes a semiconductor memory 601 and has a terminal 602 connected to the semiconductor memory 601 by wiring (not shown).

[0209] The terminal portion 602 is provided at the end of the case 61. Further, the semiconductor memory 601 has a disk 6

According to the signal input from the device connected to 2, the storage contents are output and rewritten as appropriate.

In the example shown in FIG. 23A, the semiconductor memory 601 is mounted on the clamping area 64 of the disk 62. In this case, when writing and reading data to and from the semiconductor memory 601, the disk 62 is stationary. In the clamping area 64, if the position does not contact the disk support 461 (FIG. 2B),
The semiconductor memory 601 does not affect data reading from the disk 62.

In the example shown in FIG. 23B, the semiconductor memory 601 is mounted on the label surface of the disk 62, that is, on the surface opposite to the recording surface.

In the example shown in FIG. 23C, the semiconductor memory 601 is mounted on the surface of the case 61. In this case, in particular, the semiconductor memory 601 and the terminal 60
2 can be easily connected. In addition, the semiconductor memory 60

This semiconductor memory 601 and terminal section 60
As shown in FIG. 4, a CD drive 46 having a terminal portion 47 corresponds to the CD card 6 having the terminal 2.
When the CD card 6 is set in the print sticker terminal device 1, the terminal 602 and the terminal 47 are connected. That is, the CD drive 46 reads out programs and data recorded on the disk 62 of the CD card 6 and stores data in the semiconductor memory 601 via the terminal unit 47 connected to the terminal unit 602.

Thus, the CPU 30 performs the various processes described in the first embodiment, for example, to obtain an image of a customer photographed in the automatic body size measuring process shown in FIG. In the display / correction processing, the data of the composite image CG displayed on the display unit 39 is

Therefore, the customer not only prints out an image generated by the print sticker terminal device 1 such as a photographed image or a composite image CG photographed by the CCD camera 22 (FIG. 4), but also prints the data on a recording medium as data. Output and portable. Thereby, the convenience and the interest can be further improved.

In the second embodiment, the semiconductor memory 601 and the terminal portion 602 are connected by wiring. However, the present invention is not limited to the wired connection, but may be configured to enable wireless communication.

A writable recording medium such as gital Versatile Disc ReWritable) may be used. In this case, the CD drive 46 has a data reading and writing mechanism corresponding to the recording medium to be used.

[Third Embodiment] FIG. 24 shows another embodiment of the CD card 6. In the example of the hybrid card type CD card 6A shown in FIG. 24A, a read-only ROM area 65A is formed on the inside, and a writable or write-once RAM area 65B is formed on the outside. ing. Each of the ROM area 65A and the RAM area 65B is formed at a track portion formed radially outward from the missing portion K, that is, at a point R in the drawing. Therefore, when the optical trace is performed on the read-only ROM area 65A by the laser light, when the point R of the missing portion K is reached, the portion after the point R becomes the writable or additionally recordable RAM area 65B. Therefore, the ROM area 65A and the RAM area 65
B can be clearly distinguished.

Next, in the example of the hybrid card type CD card 6B shown in FIG. 24B, a writable or write-once RAM area 65B is formed on the inside, and a read-only ROM is formed outside the RAM area 65B. A region 65A is formed.

Also in this example, each of the ROM area 65A and the RAM area 65B has a track portion formed on the outer periphery in the radial direction from the missing portion K, that is, R in the figure.
It is formed around a point. Therefore, in the case where the laser trace is used to optically trace the RAM area 65B in which writing or additional writing is possible, when reaching the R point of the missing portion K, the portion after this R point becomes a read-only ROM area 65A. Therefore, the ROM area 65A and the RAM area 6
5B can be clearly distinguished.

That is, as the configuration of the RAM area 65B, for example, a configuration in which a plurality of tracks on which the signal pits 65a are arranged are provided not concentrically but concentrically is provided. In this case, the CD drive 46 recognizes each track based on, for example, the distance from the rotation center of the CD card 6A. Alternatively, a configuration may be adopted in which an area for recording information regarding the track arrangement is provided in the RAM area 65B, and the track is recognized based on the information recorded in this area. Then, the CD drive 46 records the track in the RAM area 65B in the same manner as the ROM area 65A.
63 (FIG. 2) cannot be tracked.
5A and the RAM area 65B can be distinguished.

For example, in the RAM area 65B, a signal pit 65a having a size larger than that of the ROM area 65A may be arranged, or the track width or interval may be increased. In this case, the CD drive 46 can distinguish between the ROM area 65A and the RAM area 65B from differences in the size and track width of the signal pit 65a. Further, since the track width and the size of the signal pit 65a are large, even if the track is formed across the missing area outside the point R, the track can be recognized by the CD drive 46. In this example, the size and the track width of the signal pit 65a may be determined according to the position control technique of the optical pickup 463 in the CD drive 46, and the like.

[Fourth Embodiment] Next, a fourth embodiment of the print sticker terminal device 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The storage device has the same C as the print sticker terminal device 1 communicatively connected thereto.
The D card 6 has an image ROM 6b (see FIG. 5), and in the processing device 200, clothing data (each number (No.) such as clothing type, design, picture, color, size, etc.) adapted to body shape data, If the pattern data (the number (No.) of the pattern image KG) is specified and transmitted, an image corresponding to the clothing data and the pattern data specified on the print sticker terminal device 1 side can be displayed, printed, and cut. The CPU of the processing device 200 generates clothes data and pattern data based on the body shape data according to the processing program, and transmits the generated clothes data and pattern data to the print sticker terminal device via the transmission / reception unit.

Hereinafter, communication processing executed in the print sticker terminal device 1 will be described. FIG. 25 is a flowchart for explaining the communication processing. In the communication process, first, the CPU 30 of the print sticker terminal device 1
By determining the content of the operation on the key input unit 31, it is determined whether or not to perform the process of writing data to the CD card 6 (step S701).

When performing the writing process, the CPU 30
The ID code stored in the ID code memory 30a is transmitted to the communication processing device 200 or the like via the transmission / reception unit 45 (step S702).

Thereafter, the CPU 30 waits for the transmission / reception section 45 to receive data transmitted from the external processing device 200 or the like (step S703). Then, in the external processing device 200, a list of downloadable clothes data and pattern data is transmitted to the print sticker terminal device 1 together with the ID code. When the print sticker terminal device 1 receives the list of the clothing data and the pattern data and receives the ID code at the same time (step S703; Yes), the print ID terminal device 1 checks whether the received ID code matches the ID code of the device itself. It is determined whether or not it is (step S704).

If the ID code does not match that of the own device (step S704; No), the process ends. If the ID code matches that of the own device (step S704; Yes), a list of the received clothing data and pattern data is displayed on the display unit 39 (step S7).
