FIG. 7 shows the CPU 30 of the service terminal device 1.
9 is a flowchart showing a service request process executed by the service request.

In FIG. 7, first, it is determined whether or not the user is photographed by the service terminal device 1 (step S1). Here, when photographing is not performed, the CPU 30
Causes the card drive unit 46 to read the image data in the semiconductor memory 601 and temporarily store it in the work area in the RAM 33 (step S2).

When taking a picture, the CPU 30 sets a predetermined standing position 1J in the photographing space 1A of the service terminal device 1.
A user standing in is photographed by the CCD camera 22,
The captured image is temporarily stored in a work area in the RAM 33 (Step S3). By the processing of steps S2 and S3, an image of the user can be prepared in the service terminal device 1.

Subsequently, in the service terminal device 1,
Since the service content desired by the user is input by operating the key input unit 31 or the tablet unit 39A (step S4), the CPU 30 transmits the input service content and the image of the user in the RAM 33 to the transmission / reception unit 45.
To the coordination service device 200 via the network 300 (step S5).

Here, the CPU 30 waits until the image processed by the coordinator is transmitted from the coordination service device 200 (step S6), and when the processed image is received (step S6; Ye)
s) The received image is displayed on the display unit 39 (step S7). In step S7, the received image may be printed out by the print cutting mechanism 1E (FIG. 3A).

Next, CPU 30 determines whether or not merchandise information has been attached to the received image transmitted from coordinate service device 200 (step S8),
If the merchandise information has not been attached, the process directly proceeds to step S11 described later.

If the product information is attached to the received image in step S8, the CPU 30 displays the content of the product information on the display unit 39 or prints out the print information by using the print cutting mechanism 1E. (Step S
9).

Further, the CPU 30 accesses the Internet from the transmission / reception unit 45 via the network 300 in accordance with an input operation on the key input unit 31 or the tablet unit 39A, and provides a product sales site via the Internet. , The order of the product is processed (step S10).

Then, the CPU 30 proceeds to step S11, and determines whether or not OK is input to the processed image in the key input unit 31 or the tablet unit 39A. If OK is input in step S11, the user is satisfied with the result of the processed image, and the CPU 30
Ends this processing.

If OK is not input in step S11, the CPU 30 proceeds to step S12 to coordinate a reprocessing request signal requesting reprocessing from the transmitting / receiving unit 45 via the network 300. The data is transmitted to the service device 200, and the process returns to step S6.

FIG. 8 shows a coordinate service device 20.
11 is a flowchart showing a service reception process executed by the CPU 201 of the first embodiment. In FIG. 8, the CPU 20
1 is a service terminal device 1 via the network 300
(Step S)
21), it is determined whether or not this service request is a reprocessing request signal (step S22). Here, the re-processing request signal is C in the processing shown in step S12 of FIG.
This is a signal transmitted by the PU 30.

If the received service request is a reprocessing request signal, the CPU 201 causes the display device 206 to display a reprocessing message indicating reprocessing (step S23), and proceeds to step S24. . If the received service request is not a reprocessing request signal, the process directly proceeds to step S24.

In step S24, the CPU 201 acquires the contents of the service request received in step S21, and determines the type of the requested service (step S2).
5).

If the content of the requested service is "make" (step S25; Yes), the CPU
The process proceeds to step S28, where the image included in the service request received in step S21 is displayed on the display device 20.
6, and the process proceeds to step S29 where an instruction to coordinate makeup is displayed on the display device 206.

In the processing in step S28, the coordinator operates the service terminal 1
In order to perform makeup coordination on the image transmitted from, the image is enlarged and displayed. This allows
The coordinator can provide makeup service promptly.

Then, in step S29, a paint process is performed by the coordinator. In this paint processing, the paint tool storage area 20 of the storage device 203 is used.
The program and data stored in 3a are called,
In accordance with the input operation of the coordinator on the input device 205, paint such as foundation, lipstick, eyebrows, and blusher is applied to the image of the user.

After that, the CPU 201 shifts to step S30, and stores the product information storage area 203 of the storage device 203.
With reference to the data stored in e, it is determined whether or not there is product information on the processing performed on the image of the user. In this step S30, the CPU 201
In step S29, it is determined whether or not there is information on the makeup article corresponding to the color used when the makeup was performed.

The related product information is stored in the product information storage area 2
03e (step S30; Ye
s), the CPU 201 proceeds to step S31, and attaches the corresponding product information to the processed image.

Then, the CPU 201 shifts to step S32, transmits the processed image from the transmission control unit 207 to the service terminal device 1 via the network 300, and ends this processing.

If there is no related product information in the product information storage area 203e (step S30; N
o), the CPU 201 proceeds directly to step S32, and transmits an image.

If the service request content determined in step S25 is not "make" (step S2
6; No), the CPU 201 proceeds to step S33, and determines whether or not the requested service content is “cut”, that is, a haircut. Here, if the requested service content is a haircut, the CPU 201 proceeds to step S34, in which the image of the user received in step S21 is enlarged and displayed on the display device 206. Further, in step S35, the CPU 201 Display instructions to coordinate haircuts.

Next, the CPU 201 proceeds to step S36 to read out and execute the programs and data stored in the hairstyle parts storage area 203b. continue,
201 performs processing such as appropriately combining a hairstyle image with a user image in accordance with an input operation of the input device 205 by the coordinator in step S37,
Move to 30.

If the service request content determined in step S25 is not "cut" (step S3
3; No), the CPU 201 proceeds to step S38, and determines whether or not the service content is “style”.

Here, if the requested service content is style coordination, the CPU 201 shifts to step S39, and the display device 206 issues an instruction to perform the styling service with the image of the user received in step S21. Enlarge the display.

Next, the CPU 201 proceeds to step S40 to read out and execute the program and data stored in the costume part storage area 203c. continue,
201 performs processing such as appropriately combining the image of the clothes with the image of the user in response to the input operation of the input device 205 by the coordinator in step S41,
Move to 30.

If the service request content determined in step S25 is not "style" (step S25).
38; No), since the service content is coordination of “accessory”, the CPU 201 proceeds to step S42. In step S42, the CPU 201 causes the display device 206 to enlarge and display the image of the user received in step S21 and an instruction to perform accessory coordination service.

Next, the CPU 201 proceeds to step S43 to read out and execute the program and data stored in the accessory part storage area 203d. Subsequently, in step S44, the 201 performs processing such as appropriately combining the accessory image with the user image in accordance with the input operation of the input device 205 by the coordinator, and proceeds to step S30.
