A functional configuration for realizing these various functions will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the photo sticker creating apparatus.
As shown in FIG. 6, the photo sticker creating apparatus includes a photographing computer device 31 a that performs photographing-side processing such as photographing by the camera 4, the camera 5, and the camera 6 and transfer of images photographed by these cameras. The contents input to the tablet display 23 by the user during the editing process are displayed on the tablet display 23, and the process related to editing for creating and drawing an image to be edited and input based on the input, and the process related to printing by the printer 27. And a control board 35 that receives instructions from the operating computer devices 31a and 31b and controls various devices connected thereto. The photographing computer device 31a and the image editing computer device 31b are connected to each other and exchange image data and the like on a peer-to-peer basis.

  The computer devices 31a and 31b include CPUs (Central Processing Units) 32a and 32b, a program for causing the photo sticker creation device to execute predetermined processing, graphic data necessary for various processing, audio data, video data, and captured images. And hard disk drives (HDDs) 33a and 33b for storing images to be edited and input, and memories 34a and 34b serving as temporary work areas for programs.

  The photographing computer device 31 a is electrically connected to the camera 4, the camera 5, the camera 6, the chroma key capture board 36, the live monitors 19 </ b> A to 19 </ b> C, the touch panel display 21, and the control board 35. Execute the process. Specifically, a program for processing on the photographing side stored in the internal HDD 33a is executed, and a control signal is sent to the control board 35 in accordance with an instruction signal based on an input operation received from the user via the touch panel display 21. Send.

  The chroma key capture board 36 is connected to the camera 4, the camera 5, the camera 6, and the photographing computer device 31 a, and each camera that photographs the user 11 as a subject as shown in FIG. 7 by the chroma key capture board 36. An image captured from one of the cameras and a background image stored in advance in the HDD 33a are chroma-combined (details will be described later), and the synthesized image is sent to the photographing computer device 31a at 30 frames per second, for example.

  Then, the sent image is sequentially displayed on any of the live monitors 19A to 19C corresponding to the camera being photographed by the CPU 32a, and as a result, the live image is displayed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, in the photo sticker creating apparatus of the present embodiment, there are three cameras. In such a case, if the images captured by the respective cameras are simultaneously displayed live on the respective live monitors 19A to 19C, it becomes difficult for the user to grasp which live monitor is used for photographing. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the live monitor 19 on which the live image is displayed is sequentially switched according to the camera that is captured.

  As shown in FIG. 8, images captured by the camera 4, the camera 5, and the camera 6 are once sent to the switching device 55a. In the switching device 55a, an image photographed by a camera to be photographed next (for example, the camera 4 when photographing is performed by the camera 4) is selectively sent to the chroma key capture board 36. The chroma key capture board 36 chrominally combines the sent image and the background image read from the HDD 33a, and displays the synthesized image live on the live monitor 19A. In order to display the composite video on the live monitor corresponding to the camera, a switching device 55c for switching the live monitor that displays the composite video on the chroma key capture board 36 is provided.

  For example, when shooting with the camera 4 is completed and then shooting is performed with the camera 5, for example, the image of the camera 5 is sent to the chroma key capture board 36 by the switching devices 55a and 55b, and is sent by the chroma key capture board 36. The live image is displayed live on the live monitor 19B. In this way, even if there are three shooting cameras and three live monitors, the switching device 55a, 55b allows the user to select which camera to display the captured image live. On the other hand, it is possible to easily teach which live monitor to view and shoot.

  Note that nothing may be displayed on a live camera with respect to a camera that is not used for shooting, and an image with a lid on the display screen may be displayed.

  Further, the backgrounds 22A and 22B may be given different colors, and even if the same colors are given, the distance from the camera to the background, lighting conditions, camera settings, and the like may be different. In such a case, the color of the background differs depending on the camera to be photographed, and there is a difference in the color range to be recognized as the background in the chroma processing. For this reason, chroma adjustment values 57a to 57c are stored in correspondence with each of the cameras 4 to 6, and the one corresponding to the camera imaged by the switching device 55b is selected and used for chroma processing. And

  That is, in accordance with the switching signal from the CPU 32a, the camera that inputs the video is switched, and the corresponding chroma adjustment value is input to the chroma key capture board 36. Of the camera image, the image is combined with the key color portion set by the adjustment value and displayed on the corresponding live camera.

  In order to execute such processing, the switching devices 55a to 55c are switched in conjunction with each other.

  For example, the CPU 32a in the photographing computer device 31a has the functions of the switching devices 55a to 55c (more specifically, for example, as the switching device 55b, the CPU 32a of the photographing computer device 31a stores the chroma adjustment value stored in the HDD 33a. Switching is realized by reading out one of 57a to 57c and inputting it to the chroma key capture board 36), or the chroma key capture board 36 is provided with a part or all of the functions of the switching devices 55a to 55c. ˜55c only needs to be able to switch the chroma adjustment values 57a to 57c and the live monitors 19A to 19C in conjunction with the cameras 4 to 6 that input video, and is configured by any specific hardware or software. is there It is not intended to be limited to the door.

  In the above example, the case where there is one chroma key capture board 36 for three cameras is described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a chroma key capture board 36 corresponding to each camera may be provided. .

  Returning to FIG. 6, the image editing computer device 31 b is electrically connected to the printer 27, the tablet display 23, and the control board 35, and processes related to editing in the editing booths 13 </ b> A and 13 </ b> B and the editing-side housing 3.

  The tablet display 23 detects the contact of the pen tip of the left and right touch pens 24A and 24B corresponding to each, and transmits an instruction signal corresponding to the position to the image editing computer device 31b. Then, an image transmitted from the image editing computer device 31b, specifically, an edited image such as a pen image, a selected stamp image, or a frame image drawn by the user during input processing of the edited image is displayed. The image is displayed over the existing photographed image (image to be edited).

  The printer 27 prints on the sticker sheet 28 a print image obtained by combining the photographed image and the image input by the editing process with respect to the photographed image. In the following example, a case where the printer 27 prints an image for printing on the sticker sheet 28 will be described. However, the print medium is not limited to the sticker sheet 28 and may be another print medium.

Then, when the input of the edited image is completed, the generated printing image is printed on the sticker sheet 28 and moved to the print outlet 26, where the sticker sheet 28 to be output is obtained to obtain the photo sticker creating apparatus. Terminate use.

  Here, the processing on the photographing side in the photo sticker creating apparatus will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  This processing on the photographing side is realized by the CPU 32a in the photographing computer device 31a reading out the operation program stored in the HDD 33a to the memory 34a and executing it.

  As processing on the photographing side, first, when the photo sticker creating apparatus is turned on, the operation programs stored in the HDD 33a of the photographing computer apparatus 31a and the HDD 33b of the image editing computer apparatus 31b are activated. The CPUs 32a and 32b check whether various devices are normally connected, and perform initialization for devices that require initialization.

  When the coin control unit 46 is operating to lock the coin insertion slot 15 during the initialization process, the CPU 32a sends a control signal for releasing the lock and releases the lock. And coin insertion is possible.

  Next, the CPU 32a displays a title demonstration screen that prompts the use of the photo sticker creation device on the touch panel display 21 in the photographing booth 12, and during that time, the coin control unit 46 monitors the insertion of coins as a value (S101).

  If it is determined that a predetermined number of coins have been inserted by the user, the coin insertion slot 15 is locked so that no more coins will be inserted.

  Once the coin lock is performed, the touch of the screen indicating the start instruction from the user via the touch panel display 21 (S103) and the selection of the shooting course are accepted (S103). Here, there are two types of shooting courses, for example, “discretionary course” and “auto course”, and the shooting method, number of shots, image quality, brightness, etc. are set differently depending on the selected course. . The user selects a favorite shooting course from these courses.

  When the “special course” is selected, the processes of FIGS. 10 and 11 are performed, and when the “auto course” is selected, the process of FIG. 21 is performed. These processes will be described later.

  When the predetermined number of shootings is completed or the shooting limit time has elapsed, the CPU 32a advances the process to step S111 and displays the main photo selection screen on the touch panel display 21. On this screen, the user selects four main photographs from among four to twelve photographs taken.

  Next, a shooting completion screen is displayed on the touch panel display 21 (S113), and the shot image is transferred to the image editing computer device 31b. At this time, an error check may be performed. Then, the user is guided to the editing booth 13A or 13B, the process returns to step S101, and the process on the photographing side for the user is terminated.

  Since the user who has finished photographing has finished the processing on the photographing side, he leaves the photographing booth 12 and moves to a predetermined editing booth 13A or 13B to start the editing work in order to perform the next editing work.

  Here, the selection of how to capture and brightness is accepted as two items related to the setting of the device, but there are a plurality of options regarding the item of brightness in association with each of the options (software / hardware) regarding the item of imaging. (Bright / Recommended / Normal / Continuous) is displayed. By performing such a display, when an option related to the item of brightness is selected, it can be determined that an option related to the item of the image associated with the item is also selected. Thereby, selection of two items can be received by one operation of the user, and there is an effect that operation time can be shortened.

  In step S203, the touch screen display 21 displays a selection screen for a camera to be used and a background image to be combined in each of three shootings.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of a selection screen for a camera to be used and a background image to be combined.

  Here, it is possible to select eight types of a to h as a background and which of the three cameras is used for shooting. There are 24 types of 8 × 3 options, but the apparatus may be configured to further increase background options by using scroll display or the like. Also in FIG. 13, since a plurality of options for the background are displayed in correspondence with each of the options for the camera, the operation time can be shortened.

  In step S201, two items of image and brightness are selected. In step S203, two items of camera and background are selected. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the screen (1) is displayed first. Then, accept a selection (for example, any of a1 to a3) for item A (first item), and then display screen (2), where a selection for item B (second item) (for example, Any one of b1 to b3) may be received. However, in this case, data for two screens must be prepared, and the time required for the user's selection becomes long, which is problematic in terms of customer turnover.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 15, two items may be selected on one screen and two touches on the screen may be received from the user on one screen. Must be performed, and the time required for selection becomes longer.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, in order to be able to select two items at one time on one screen, each of the options a1 to a3 for the item A in the display on the touch panel display 21 is selected. , Options b1 to b3 for the item B are displayed. Thereby, two items can be selected by one touch, and the time concerning a user's selection can be shortened.

  That is, in FIG. 12, the choices of bright / recommended / ordinary / congruent are included in the choices of software / hardware. Further, in the example of FIG. 13, background options are included in the camera options.

  12, 13, and 16, the same option is included in one item. However, as illustrated in FIG. 17, the items included in each of the options A1 to a3 of item A The choice of B may be changed. By doing in this way, the choice of the item B suitable for the item A can be provided, and it is possible to prevent the choice from being selected in an unfavorable combination when set.

  In step S205, photographing is performed three times with the selected setting. First, a guidance screen using an arrow or the like is displayed on the touch panel display 21 in order to tell the user which camera is the camera that takes the first shot. At this time, the LED indicator 20 corresponding to the camera that takes the first shot is blinked to make it stand out from the user.

  As an example, a case where shooting is performed with the camera 4 in the first shot will be described. On the touch panel display 21, a guidance screen indicating the direction of the camera is displayed. Note that it is preferable to provide voice guidance such as “I will shoot with the left camera!” In accordance with the display of the guidance screen.

  When the guidance screen for photographing with the camera 4 is displayed on the touch panel display 21 and the LED indicator lamp 20A corresponding to the camera 4 is lit on, the user faces his body to the photographing side housing 2B. From the present direction, the image is rotated in a direction opposite to the camera 4 that performs shooting.

  When the CPU 32a displays the guidance screen on the touch panel display 21, the CPU 32a displays the image currently captured by the camera 4 on the live monitor 19A as a live image. Then, the CPU 32a changes the image and brightness based on the selected setting and performs a shutter operation. During the shutter operation, the blinking state of the LED indicator lamp 20 is released so that it does not disturb the user. Further, it is possible to prevent the LED indicator light from being reflected on the subject or the eyes of the subject.

  At this time, the distance between the camera 4 and the background 22 </ b> A is S <b> 1, and the camera 4 is set so that up-shooting can be favorably performed within the section of the distance S <b> 1, and the user is separated from the camera 4 by the distance S <b> 1 or more. Therefore, the camera 4 can always perform beautiful up-shooting.

  When the shutter operation is finished, the CPU 32a displays the captured image on the touch panel display 21 and the live monitor 19A in order to indicate to the user what image has been captured. At this time, the LED indicator lamp 20 is turned on. When the captured image is displayed for a predetermined period, the CPU 32a next determines whether or not a predetermined number (three in this case) has been shot, and performs a shooting process until the predetermined number of shots is completed.

  When photographing with the camera 5 is performed, the user moves his / her body toward the background 22B and uses the ladders 8A and 8B and the photographing chair 9 to photograph at a position where the distance from the camera 5 is almost S2. Form a pose. The distance between the camera 5 and the background 22B is S2, and the camera 5 is set so that the whole body photographing can be favorably performed at the distance S2, and the user forms a photographing pose with respect to the camera 5 at the position of the distance S2. Therefore, the camera 5 can always perform beautiful whole body photography.

  According to the shooting method as described above, each time one shooting is finished, the user looks at the touch panel display 21 to check which camera is to be shot next, and displays and guides on the touch panel display 21. In addition, the direction of the body is changed so as to face the camera guided by the LED indicator lamp 20, and a shooting pose is formed with respect to the camera, so that shooting is repeated continuously. .

  In addition, the display of each LED indicator lamp 20 provided in the vicinity of the plurality of cameras is blinked to notify the camera to be photographed before the shutter operation (before photographing), and to the subject during the shutter operation (while photographing). The camera is turned off to prevent reflection of the image, and after the shutter operation (after shooting), the captured image is confirmed. Therefore, it is possible to provide a beautiful photograph that can guide the line of sight without any confusion of the user and that does not reflect the LED.

  When the three shootings are finished, in step S207 of FIG. 10, the touch screen display 21 displays a selection screen for a camera to be used and a background image to be combined in each of the next three shootings.

  At this time, a screen similar to that in FIG. 13 is displayed, but already selected by displaying the mark “selected” in the column of the combination of the camera already selected in step S203 and the background image to be combined. Notify the user that shooting has been completed. In step S207, a “change brightness” button is displayed on the screen. When the “change brightness” button is pressed (YES in S209), the brightness selection screen shown in FIG. 18 is displayed, and the brightness can be changed (S219). This brightness change is possible only once.

  When the setting for shooting three times is selected (YES in S211), three shooting processes according to the setting are performed in step S213.

  When the three shootings are completed, it is determined in step S215 whether or not a predetermined time (140 seconds in this case) has elapsed since the start of play. If YES, the process returns to the main routine (step S111 in FIG. 9). If NO, photographing for a person stamp is performed twice using the camera 5 in step S217. This is to capture an image to be used as a stamp in later editing processing. After shooting twice, the process returns to the main routine (step S111 in FIG. 9).

A person stamp is a background image of a predetermined key color other than a subject, which is a person, is extracted from the photographed image taken by the camera by chroma processing, and the extracted pixels are made transparent and used as a stamp for editing processing described later. It is an image that has been processed in size and so on.

  In the above flow chart, the setting screen is displayed twice when shooting 6 times, the shooting settings for 3 times are set on each setting screen, and 3 shootings are continuously performed after setting. . Alternatively, the photographing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 19 may be performed.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating a modification of the imaging process.
In this modified example, shooting for two times is set in step S301, and shooting is performed twice for each setting in step S303. In step S305, it is determined whether a total of six shootings have been completed, and the processing from step S301 is repeated until YES is obtained.

  However, in the example shown in FIG. 19, if the time required for the selection in step S301 is 20 seconds and the time required for one shooting in step S303 is 10 seconds (20 seconds for two shootings), the total A time of (20 + 20) × 3 = 120 seconds is required.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, three shooting settings are made at one time (S351), three shootings are performed with each setting (S353), and the process is repeated twice. In this way (S355), a total of six shooting processes are executed. If the set time for three shots is 20 seconds, and the time required for one shot is 10 seconds (30 seconds for three shots), the total time is (20 + 30) × 2 = 100 seconds. Processing up to shooting can be completed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the number of times of continuous photographing at a time by the photographing unit is set to be larger than the number of times of repeating the setting and photographing processing, thereby leading to the photographing from the setting as compared with the example of FIG. Time can be shortened and the turnover rate of the customer can be increased.

FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing processing in the auto course of FIG.
In step S <b> 401, a music selection screen is displayed on the touch panel display 21. The music is associated with a video movie such as a promotion video, and the subsequent shooting is performed together with the video image and sound of the selected music. That is, the movie displayed on the touch panel display 21 at the time of shooting, the music flowing from the shooting-side speaker 18, the number of shots, the shooting timing, and the like are determined according to the selected music.

  When the music is selected by the user, the playback of the movie corresponding to the music starts on the touch panel display 21. At the same time, the sound of the music matching the movie is output from the photographing speaker 18, and the playback continues in step S403. .

  In step S405, it is determined whether the shooting timing has been reached during playback. If YES, the movie is played, and in step S407, shooting notification (such as camera notification used), countdown, shutter operation, and preview display are performed. A series of processing is performed. In a series of shooting processes, a sound for indicating a shooting situation is output to the user while being superimposed on the music, and an image for indicating the shooting situation is displayed on the movie reproduced on the touch panel display 21.

  In step S409, it is determined whether the shooting has been completed (or the movie has ended). If YES, the process returns to step S111 in FIG. 9, and if NO, the process from step S403 is performed to continue playing the movie. .

FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing a series of processing during photographing.
Referring to the drawing, in step S501, the LED display lamp 20 corresponding to the camera used for photographing is blinked to notify the user of the camera to be photographed. In step S503, the live image of the camera is displayed on the live monitor 19 corresponding to the camera used for shooting.

  In step S505, the LED indicator lamp 20 is turned off so as not to obstruct the user during photographing. In step S507, a countdown by video and audio is started. When the countdown is completed (YES in S509), a shutter operation is performed in step S511 to obtain an image. In step S513, the LED indicator 20 that has been turned off is turned on, and a preview screen obtained by the camera is displayed (S515). The preview screen is displayed as a small thumbnail image superimposed on the movie on the touch panel display 21 using the entire screen on the live monitor 19.

  In the present embodiment, the LED indicator is blinking when photographing and is lit when displaying a preview image, so that the user can be notified of whether photographing with the camera or preview display.

  FIG. 23 is a diagram showing a timing chart of display contents on the touch panel display 21 in the auto course.

  For example, it is assumed that a promotion video (PV) of a certain music is selected by the user. At the time point T1 when the reproduction of the promotion video starts, a message indicating the start of shooting is superimposed on the promotion video screen. A preferable timing in accordance with the screen of the promotion video or music is set as shooting timing T2, shooting notification (such as camera notification) is performed, countdown is performed, and a shutter operation is performed at time T3. At time T4, the captured image is displayed as a preview. By repeating the processes from T2 to T4, shooting is performed a plurality of times, and an end message is displayed over the promotion video at time Tn a predetermined time before the promotion video ends. The promotion video ends at time Tn + 1.

  For example, the timing values of T1 to T4 (elapsed time since the video was played back) and information such as display contents to be displayed over the promotion video at each timing are recorded in a predetermined file for each promotion video. The The CPU 32a reads out the file stored in the HDD 33a of the photographing computer device 31a, and monitors the elapsed time from the playback by a timer such as a timer that is started simultaneously with the playback, and the elapsed time has reached the recorded timing. In this case, the above processing can be realized by displaying the recorded display content. In this way, even when the promotional video provided by the device is added or replaced, it is not necessary to create a new promotional video that displays a message superimposed on each promotional video. It is only necessary to update the recording of this, and this makes it possible to smoothly replace the video provided to the user.

  If the camera to be used for each shooting is changed, the user forms a shooting pose for the camera displayed and guided on the touch panel display 21 for each shooting, that is, according to the camera to be shot. By changing the direction of the body, leaning, standing, grabbing on the ladders 8A, 8B, sitting on the shooting chair 9, there is an element of moving the body, not just shooting Since it is added, it is possible to shoot fun and happily according to music, and to provide a new playability and surprise to the user. Furthermore, depending on the user, a refreshing feeling can be obtained by moving the body.

  Further, as described above, the camera 4 is mainly for up-shooting, the camera 5 is mainly for whole-body shooting, and the camera 6 is mainly for whole-body shooting from a lower angle. By setting the number of times these cameras are used evenly, it is possible to allow the user to perform up-shooting, whole-body shooting, and shooting from a lower angle in a well-balanced manner. The ladders 8 </ b> A and 8 </ b> B and the photographing chair 9 provided in 12 can be used without waste.

  Further, since the user does not know which camera is to be used for the next shooting until the time before shooting, the touch panel display 21 and the LED indicator for displaying and guiding which camera is to be used for the next shooting are displayed. Inevitably concentrate on the user 20, so that the user can concentrate on shooting.

  In addition, which camera to use at the time of shooting may be set in advance or may be determined at random. If it is set in advance, for example, if a pattern photographed by the camera 6 next to the camera 4 or a pattern photographed by the camera 4 next to the camera 6 is used, a user's momentum can be increased. On the contrary, if many patterns photographed by the camera 5 next to the camera 4 or patterns photographed by the camera 4 next to the camera 5 are used, the momentum of the user 12 can be reduced as compared with the former. In this way, if the camera to be used at the time of shooting is set in advance, the user's momentum can be adjusted.

  Further, if the user selects in advance whether to focus on up-shooting or whole-body shooting, and based on the result, for example, if it is selected that emphasis is on whole-body shooting, shooting by the camera 5 out of a predetermined number of shots. The ratio of the number of times may be increased. Thereby, it can approach user's needs.

  In the above description, the case where the camera to be used is changed every time shooting is described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the same shooting may be performed for the current shooting and the next shooting. In this way, the user's intention can be made.

  FIG. 24 is a diagram showing a specific example of the music selection screen displayed in step S401 of FIG.

  As shown in the figure, here, the user can select a favorite one from a total of 12 pieces of music of 3 × 4. In the figure, N1 to N12 indicate portions where song names are displayed, and a1 to a12 indicate portions where artist names are displayed. Also, photographs showing the artist and the image of the song are displayed corresponding to each song. The difficulty level is displayed according to the number of stars.

  Furthermore, “NEW” indicates that the music is newly introduced, and “PV” indicates that a promotional video is displayed, and “NA” indicates that the artist narrates. It is shown.

  FIG. 25 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of display on the touch panel display 21 at the start message display timing T1 of FIG.

  In this screen, a message “START” is synthesized and displayed on the image of the promotion video, thereby notifying that a series of shooting processes starts.

  26 to 28 are diagrams showing specific examples of display on the touch panel display 21 at the photographing timing T2 of FIG.

  26 to 28 show displays when shooting is performed with the cameras 4 to 6, respectively. Here, a camera that visually shoots is indicated by an arrow. In addition, it is preferable that the display indicating shooting such as an arrow is displayed so as to largely overlap the screen. This is to keep the user's eyes away from the movie display.

  Also, in order to keep the user's eyes away from the movie display, only the movie sound is played at the timing when the shooting guidance such as an arrow is displayed, and the movie is hidden or the arrow display is opaque. The movie image may be completely hidden by displaying the background.

  The video images shown in FIGS. 25 to 28 and images such as characters and arrows may be pre-combined and recorded on the HDD, or may be recorded separately and combined during play. Also good. The same applies to the audio, and the video audio and the audio for notifying the shooting timing may be pre-combined and recorded in the HDD, or recorded separately and synthesized during play. Good.

  FIG. 29 is a diagram showing a specific example of display on the touch panel display 21 at the preview display timing T4 of FIG.

  Here, the display after nine shootings is shown, and the shot images are displayed side by side as P1 to P9. The display of the preview images P1 to P12 may be erased after a predetermined time has elapsed so as not to disturb the movie display.

  In the auto course, it is preferable not to inform the user of the number of photographs taken for each music piece. This is to prevent the user from selecting a music piece according to the number of photographs taken. The movie playback also has an effect of promoting the music, and is also intended to make the selection evenly so that the selection is not biased to the music set with a large number of shootings. It is also desirable not to notify the user of the remaining number of shots during movie playback. This is to concentrate the user on shooting.

  Further, the number of times of shooting may be reduced for a quiet ballad-like song, and the number of times of shooting may be increased for a hard song. Further, it is preferable to change the shooting timing, the number of shooting times, the shooting interval, the camera to be used, and the like depending on the song. Thereby, it is possible to adjust the difficulty of shooting.

  The screens shown in FIGS. 25 to 28 may also be displayed on the external PV monitor 51. In the external PV monitor 51, only the video screen is displayed, and images such as characters and arrows are displayed. May not be displayed. By installing the external PV monitor 51, there is an effect of eliminating the boredom of the user waiting for the use of the photo sticker creating apparatus. In addition, when displaying in conjunction with the video displayed inside, it also has the effect of informing the outside of the approximate time until the end of shooting, and knows in advance what type of video will be displayed before shooting It is also possible to think about shooting poses during standby.

FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing processing on the editing side.
The process on the editing side is a process executed when the program stored in the HDD 33b is automatically expanded in the memory 34b and executed by the CPU 32b when the image editing computer device 31b is turned on. By executing the processing on the editing side, the user can input an edited image for the captured image captured by the camera 4, the camera 5, or the camera 6.

  As processing on the editing side, the CPU 32b first performs initialization processing, and displays a demonstration screen including a standby screen such as “Please shoot first!” On the tablet display 23 (S601). When the photographed image is transferred from the photographing side, a data transfer screen is displayed (S603), and when completed, the editing process is started by touching the screen with a pen (S605).

  In step S607 and subsequent steps, edit image input processing (graphing processing) is performed. In the input processing of the edited image, the user selects a favorite editing tool such as a Ben tool, a stamp tool, and a frame tool with the touch pen 24 and inputs a predetermined edited image to the photographed image. Since the processing is already known, detailed description thereof is omitted. In addition, here, a list of thumbnail images of the captured images is displayed in order to select which captured image the edit image is input to. The main four photos selected in S111 in FIG. 9 are large, the remaining captured images are displayed small, and an edited image can be input to all the captured images.

  Since two touch pens 24 are provided on the left and right with respect to the tablet display, the screen of the tablet display is divided into left and right parts, and receives input from the left and right users.

  When the edit image input process is completed, a maximum of four extra images are accepted from the user in step S609.

  The CPU 32b receives a selection of a layout for printing a print image on the sticker sheet 28 from a user (S611), and executes printing while executing a post-graffiti play (S613). When printing is completed, the user is notified of this (S615), the use of the photo sticker creating apparatus is terminated, and the display returns to the demonstration screen (S601).

  FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing the process of play after graffiti (S613) in FIG.

  Referring to the figure, in step S701, the user is made to select a play to be performed during printing. Here, it is assumed that a selection is made from among image transfer to a mobile phone, portable photo graffiti, and graffiti sample viewing. In addition, since the screen is divided into left and right as described above, it is possible to accept different selections for the left and right users and provide different plays.

  If transfer of an image to the mobile phone is selected, a warning screen is displayed in step S703 to the effect that transmission is not possible depending on the radio wave condition. In step S705, an input of a destination address is accepted. Further, if the ID can be acquired, the stored address corresponding to the ID may be read out.

  In step S707, the selection of a photo to be transmitted to the mobile phone from the photos selected as the main image is accepted.

  FIG. 32 is a diagram showing a specific example of the screen displayed on the tablet display 23 in step S707 of FIG.

  As shown in the figure, the main image selected by the user is displayed and the selection is accepted. Here, it is assumed that main images A to D in a state where image editing has been performed and main images a to d in a state where image editing has not been performed are displayed and input is accepted.

  In step S709, a process for applying a moving design to the image to be transmitted is performed, and the image is transmitted to the transmission destination.

  FIG. 33 is a diagram showing a specific example of the screen displayed on the tablet display 23 in step S709 of FIG.

  If it is assumed that the image C is selected in FIG. 32, images C1 to C6 in which a plurality of designs are applied to the image C are displayed, and the selection from the user is accepted. Some of them may be designed so that they do not move, or those that are not designed may be used as transmission images.

  In step S739, the weight screen is displayed until the processing on both the left and right sides of the tablet display is completed.

  If portable photo graffiti is selected, in step S731, a warning screen indicating that transmission is not possible depending on the radio wave condition is displayed. In step S733, an input of a destination address is accepted. Further, if the ID can be acquired, the stored address corresponding to the ID may be read out.

  In step S735, the graffiti is explained to the user. In step S737, graffiti input is accepted, and the process proceeds to step S739.

  If “View Graffiti Sample” is selected, a photo registration screen is displayed in step S761. On this screen, the user selects one to be registered from the main images. Note that registration may not be performed by pressing a button.

  In step S763, a browsing screen for photos registered in the past is displayed, a vote from the user is accepted, and the process proceeds to step S739.

  In printing, the printing method may be changed depending on whether software is selected or hardware is selected on the screen of FIG. For example, when the former is selected, matte printing is performed, and when the latter is selected, printing with gloss is performed.
