A RAM (Random Access Memory) 63 is a CPU 6
In addition to storing the work data, the data such as selections and instructions made by the user in each processing unit are temporarily stored. Further, the RAM 63 has a frame buffer for storing a captured image of the CCD camera 11 therein. The frame buffer is configured by a dual port memory, and each area can store one captured image.
Used in two areas. Frame buffer first
The captured image from the CCD camera 11 is input to the area, and the captured image (the captured image and the frame image when the user selects the frame image) is stored after the image capturing.

On the other hand, the second area is a storage area used in editing processing such as graffiti processing and brightness adjustment, and at the time of completion of imaging, the same captured image as the first area is stored. . That is, in the editing process, when the user inputs a graffiti using the light pens 14L and 14R, the input data is written in the second area.
In addition, the user can specify the eraser processing,
You can delete the graffiti once added and return to the original image. In that case, the RAM 63 reads out the image data of the portion designated by the eraser from the first area, and writes the image data in the second area, so that the part designated by the user before the graffiti processing is performed. Return to the captured image.

The driver 64 is provided with a CD-ROM (Compact
A recording medium such as a Disk-Read Only Memory) is driven to read recorded information. On a recording medium such as a CD-ROM, programs for performing various processes including a photographing process, a graffiti process, and the like are recorded, and these programs are transferred to the RAM 63 and executed at the time of execution. In addition, audio guidance data is recorded on the CD-ROM, and the audio output device 68 reads the audio guidance data recorded on the CD-ROM based on an instruction from the CPU 61 and outputs the audio guidance data to the speakers 15L and 15R. I do. The guidance output to the user by the speakers 15L and 15R includes an operation method, a countdown immediately before shooting, and the like.

The zoom drive motor 65 converts a signal input by the user operating the zoom-in foot switch 18 or the zoom-out foot switch 19 into an instruction from the CPU 61 received via the input detection unit 70. Drive the zoom function based on.

The coin processing unit 66 detects the amount of the coin inserted through the coin insertion slot 16 and notifies the CPU 61 when it is determined that a predetermined price has been inserted.

The printer 67 is a part for creating an image sticker, and is an image photographed by the CCD camera 11 and subjected to a graffiti process described later (an image determined to be printed, hereinafter referred to as a print image). ) Is printed on sticker paper and output. The printer 67 prints the print image selected by the user on a seal sheet that can be peeled off in predetermined division units.

The photographing light source driving device 69 switches the photographing light sources 43L and 43R at the timing when the CCD camera 11 photographs a subject based on an instruction from the CPU 61 corresponding to the operation of the photographing foot switch 20 by the user. Drive,
A flash is applied to the subject.

The input detection unit 70 allows the user to perform zoom-in foot switch 18 and zoom-out foot switch 1.
9 or the input signal input by operating the imaging foot switch 20 is detected and notified to the CPU 61.

Next, the printing process of the image printing apparatus will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

In step S 1, the CPU 61 determines whether or not a payment has been made based on the notification from the coin processing unit 66. The CPU 61 causes the screen 13 to display a demonstration screen read from a CD-ROM (not shown) by the driver 64 until it is determined that the payment has been made. That is, at this time, the image data of the demonstration screen is supplied to the video output device 41 and converted into an optical image signal. This optical image signal is
The light is reflected by the reflection plate 42, projected on the screen 13, and displayed. When the CPU 61 determines that the payment has been made, the process proceeds to step S2.

In step S 2, the CPU 61 adds the driver 64 to the captured image captured by the CCD camera 11.
A video signal on which the shooting guide screen provided by is superimposed is generated and supplied to the video output device 41. This video signal is converted into an optical image signal, and the screen 1
3 is projected and displayed. The shooting guide includes a guide indicating that the shooting angle of the CCD camera 11 can be adjusted by the camera adjustment bar 12 and a guide indicating that the user can instruct camera adjustment, shooting start, and the like by operating various foot switches. Also,
The CPU 61 can cause the audio guidance device 68 to output the audio guidance provided from the driver 64 to the audio output device 68 while displaying the imaging guidance screen.

In step S3, the CPU 61 sets the zoom adjustment foot switch (zoom in foot switch 1).
8, or whether the zoom-out foot switch 19) has been operated or not is determined based on the notification from the input detection unit 70. When the CPU 61 determines that the zoom adjustment foot switch has been operated, the process proceeds to step S4.

In step S4, if the CPU 61 determines in step S3 that the zoom-in foot switch 18 has been operated, it instructs the zoom drive motor 65 to zoom in on the subject, and the zoom-out foot switch 19 If it is determined that the operation has been performed, the zoom driving motor 65 is instructed to zoom out from the subject. Thereafter, the CPU 61 returns to the process of step S2, and repeatedly executes the subsequent processes.

If the CPU 61 determines in step S3 that the zoom adjustment foot switch has not been operated based on the notification from the input detection unit 70,
The process proceeds to S5.

In step S5, the CPU 61 determines whether or not the photographing foot switch 20 has been operated based on the notification from the input detecting unit 70. When the CPU 61 determines that the imaging foot switch 20 has not been operated, the process proceeds to step S6.

In step S 6, the CPU 61 determines whether or not a predetermined time provided for adjusting the CCD camera 11 has elapsed after the payment. When determining that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the CPU 61 returns to the process of step S2,
The subsequent processing is repeatedly executed.

On the other hand, in step S6, the CPU 61
If it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S7. If the CPU 61 determines in step S5 that the imaging foot switch 20 has been operated based on the notification from the input detection unit 70, it skips step S6 and proceeds to step S7.

In step S7, the CPU 61 causes the screen 13 to display a countdown image (for example, an image in which the numbers are sequentially smaller as 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 in a predetermined cycle) until the photographing. , Speaker 15
The countdown is output by voice from L and 15R.

When the countdown processing is completed in step S7, in step S8, the CPU 61
It instructs the CCD camera 11 to shoot. At the same time, it instructs the photographing light source driving device 69 to generate a flash. Flashes emitted from the imaging light sources 43L and 43R and diffused by the diffusion plates 44L and 44R are:
The light is reflected by the reflection plates 42L and 42R, passes through the screen 13, and is irradiated to the user. At this time, the image data captured by the CCD camera 11 is stored in the first and second areas of the frame buffer of the RAM 63. At this time, in order to effectively irradiate the flash with the subject, when the flash occurs, the optical image signal output from the video output device 41 is a white image on the entire surface. When sufficient brightness can be ensured only by illumination based on a white light image signal, the imaging light sources 43L and 43R can be omitted.

In step S9, the CPU 61 executes a process for displaying an image confirmation screen on the screen 13.
That is, the CPU 61 reads the captured image stored in the RAM 63, converts the captured image into an optical image signal by the video output device 41, and displays the optical image signal on the screen 13. On the image confirmation screen,
A selection button (not shown) for asking the user for consent for printing the displayed image (for example,
"YES button", "NO button") are displayed. On the other hand, the user operates the light pens 14L and 14R to generate infrared rays and select whether or not to print. The input position detection camera 45 identifies the operated position on the screen 13 from the infrared light reflected by the reflection plate 42 and supplied through the visible light cutoff filter 46,
Notify U61.

In step S 10, the CPU 61 executes step S 10 based on the notification from the input position detection camera 45.
It is determined whether or not it is confirmed that the image photographed in the process 8 is printed. If the CPU 61 determines that it has not been confirmed (the “NO button” has been selected), it returns to the process of step S2 and repeats the subsequent processes.

In step S10, if the CPU 61 determines that the image is to be printed ("YES" button has been selected), the process proceeds to step S11.

In step S11, the CPU 61 causes the screen 13 to display a button for selecting whether or not to perform the graffiti processing on the selected image. And CPU6
1 is based on a notification from the input position detection camera 45,
It is determined whether the graffiti processing has been selected (whether or not the button has been operated).

In step S11, if the CPU 61 determines that execution of the graffiti processing is selected based on the notification from the input position detection camera 45,
The process proceeds to S12.

In step S12, the CPU 61 displays a graffiti screen on the screen 13. On the graffiti screen, a "color selection button" operated when selecting the color to be scribbled on the captured image, a "thickness selection button" operated when selecting the thickness of the graffiti line, After the graffiti processing is completed, a “print button” or the like operated when printing the graffiti-edited print image is displayed (neither is shown).

In step S12, the CPU 61
Executes an image editing process based on the graffiti input. That is, the CPU 61 performs the second
The image data corresponding to the position notified from the input position detection camera 45 is overwritten on the image stored in the area.

In step S13, the CPU 61 determines whether or not a predetermined time set for the graffiti processing has elapsed, or whether or not a print button (not shown) displayed on the screen 13 has been operated. Is determined. When the CPU 61 determines that the predetermined time has not elapsed and the print button has not been operated, the process returns to step S12, and the subsequent processes are repeatedly executed.

In step S13, if the CPU 61 determines that the predetermined time has elapsed or that the print button has been operated based on the notification from the input position detection camera 45, the process proceeds to step S14. If the CPU 61 determines in step S11 that the graffiti processing has not been selected, the processing skips steps S12 and S13 and proceeds to step S14.

In step S14, the CPU 61 displays a division number selection screen for allowing the user to select the size of the seal sheet. The user can use the light pen 1 from this screen.
The number of divisions is selected by operating 4L and 14R.

In step S15, the CPU 61 causes the printer 67 to print the image (the image stored in the second area of the frame buffer of the RAM 63) on the seal sheet of the division number selected by the user. Instruct. Printing is performed by the printer 67 based on this instruction, and the seal sheet is discharged from the seal outlet 17. Thereafter, the process returns to step S1, and the subsequent processes are repeatedly executed.
