<1. Overall configuration and operation of the device>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an image data providing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, this image data providing apparatus 100 is a camera provided in a game automatic photo creation apparatus 300 (and a plurality of automatic photo creation apparatuses installed in various places) used by a user. The mobile phone terminal used by the user while receiving and storing or reading out the composite image photographed by the mobile phone via the mobile communication network MN and the Internet adopting the 3G wireless communication method An operation screen of a scheduler, which will be described later, including the thumbnail image of the composite image is displayed on 200 display units (hereinafter also referred to as “portable screen”). Thus, the image data providing system is realized by the image data providing apparatus 100, the mobile phone terminal 200, and the automatic photo creation apparatus 300 that are connected to each other via the network.

  Hereinafter, the image data providing system will be described as a configuration in which the mobile phone terminal 200 receives the composite image data transmitted from the automatic photo creation apparatus 300 and the thumbnail image data that is a reduced image thereof. However, the terminal device is not limited to this as long as it can receive composite image data and the like. Instead of the mobile phone terminal 200, for example, a general personal computer device or the like can be used.

  The automatic photo creation device 300 receives a user's editing operation based on a photographed image obtained by photographing the user, generates a composite image, prints the composite image as a photograph, and generates the composite image data And data including the date and time of play (that is, the year, month, day, and time when the image was taken) and an identification number for identifying the composite image are transmitted to the image data providing apparatus 100.

  The identification number is typically a unique serial number (for example, 5 digits) given to each automatic photo creation apparatus 300 at the time of manufacture, and transmitted once within the apparatus (from the first operation after manufacture). It includes a unique number (for example, 7 digits) assigned in order to each time and a checksum (for example, 2 digits). Further, the data indicating the play date is typically written in the composite image data when the composite image data is created with reference to the timing unit in the automatic photo creation apparatus 300.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the image data providing apparatus 100 includes an upload router 110, an upload processing server 111, a load balancer 120, web servers 121 and 122, and a database server 130. Note that these devices are connected to each other via a predetermined local network (LAN) that conforms to, for example, IEEE 802.3. Note that some or all of these apparatuses may be dedicated hardware, or may be a computer in which software for realizing these functions is installed. Further, a plurality or all of these functions may be realized by one computer.

  As described above, the upload router 110 sends image data (and its image data to other image data that is sent from the automatic photo creation apparatus 300 via the Internet, that is, the composite image uploaded from the automatic photo creation apparatus 300. It is connected to the upload line UL for receiving the above-mentioned identification number for distinguishing it from the data, and after address conversion of these data, it is transferred to the upload processing server 111. The upload processing server 111 associates the image data constituting the received composite image with the identification number and gives the image data to the database server 130. The database server 130 stores the image data constituting the composite image received from the upload processing server 111 in association with the identification number.

  The load balancer 120 is connected to a download line DL for communicating with the user's mobile phone terminal 200, and has a router function similar to that of the uploading router 110 and relatively large image data to a large number of users. In order to prevent the processing speed from being lowered due to the load of transferring the web server 121, 122, the web server 121, 122 has a function of appropriately distributing and assigning the processing.

  The web servers 121 and 122 display on the user's mobile phone terminal 200 a scheduler screen to be described later for downloading image data constituting the composite image in response to a processing request from the user assigned from the load balancer 120. In addition, image data constituting the composite image is transmitted in response to a download request from the user. The number of these web servers 121 and 122 may be three or more, and the number of the web servers 121 and 122 may be one, and the load balancer 120 may be omitted (except for the router function).

  More specifically, the processing request from the mobile phone terminal 200 is made by accessing a URL corresponding to the image data providing apparatus 100. For example, this URL includes a URL portion corresponding to the image data providing apparatus 100 and a URL portion corresponding to the image data constituting the composite image to be downloaded. For example, “http://decopika.jp/ ~ / Select.aspx? Did = 012345678901 " In this notation example, the numeric part is the URL part corresponding to the image data constituting the composite image to be downloaded, and is a unique identification number associated with the image data constituting the composite image. The URL portion corresponding to the image data providing device 100 is determined in advance, and the identification number is assigned by the automatic photo creation device 300. Therefore, the automatic photo creation device 300 easily creates this URL and sends it to the mobile phone terminal 200. Can be sent. Instead of the identification number, identification data that can be distinguished from other image data such as a file name and a folder name may be used. Next, the configuration of the web server 121 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the web server 121. As shown in FIG. 2, the web server 121 is developed with a CPU (control unit) 304 that performs various operations and realizes various functions, and a program executed by the CPU 304 to realize these various functions. A RAM 305, a hard disk drive (HDD) 306 storing various information such as a program to be described later and image data executed by the CPU 304, and a network interface (network I / F) for transmitting and receiving data to and from other servers via the LAN. 307, a display device 301 made up of a liquid crystal panel, a CRT, etc., an input device 302 made up of a keyboard and a mouse, etc., and a DVD drive device 303. The configuration of the web server 121 shown in FIG. 2 is the same as that of a general computer, and is the same as that of the other web server 122 and database server 130, so that detailed description is omitted.

  Note that the functions of these components shown in FIG. 2 are typically realized by the CPU 304 executing a predetermined program expanded in the RAM 305. Here, the program is provided by, for example, a DVD-ROM that is a recording medium on which the program is recorded. That is, a DVD-ROM as a recording medium for the program is mounted on a DVD-ROM drive device 303 built in as an auxiliary storage device, and the program is read from the DVD-ROM to be HDD 306 (or other storage device). (Typically installed). The program may be provided via a recording medium other than a DVD-ROM or a communication line. For example, when a predetermined operation for starting the web server 121 is performed, the predetermined program installed in the HDD 306 is transferred to the RAM 305 and expanded (temporarily stored) there, and is executed by the CPU 304. . Thereby, the control processing of the web servers 121 and 122 and the database server 130 is realized. Next, the overall operation of the web servers 121 and 122 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

<2. Overall operation of the web server>
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an overall processing procedure in the web server. Hereinafter, the operation of the web server 121 will be described as an example. In step S <b> 10 illustrated in FIG. 3, the web server 121 performs predetermined access authentication by receiving a password from the mobile phone terminal 200.

  More specifically, in order to give the web server 121 an instruction to perform the following operations from the mobile phone terminal 200, the mobile phone terminal 200 must first be permitted to access the web server 121. Confirmation (authentication) is required. As a premise thereof, a registration procedure (hereinafter referred to as “use registration”) for receiving permission for the mobile phone terminal 200 to access the web server 121 must be performed before the processing shown in FIG. Services such as accumulation and reading of composite images (captured images) and schedule creation in the image data providing apparatus 100 described in detail below are charged here, and users must first receive these services. It is necessary to perform the above usage registration.

  Since these usage registration methods are well-known and will not be described in detail, for example, when a user performs usage registration, the image data providing apparatus 100 is defined as the mobile phone terminal 200 in which usage registration is performed. Unique individual identification information is acquired, an authentication ID uniquely determined in association with this is generated, and this information is stored together with a password set and input by the user.

  After the use registration, when the user who made the use registration accesses a URL corresponding to the image data providing apparatus 100, the image data providing apparatus 100 (automatically) acquires the individual identification information of the mobile phone terminal 200. Then, an authentication ID (stored at the time of use registration) corresponding to the individual identification information is displayed on a predetermined operation screen, and an input of a password is accepted. The image data providing apparatus 100 determines whether or not the accepted password matches the stored password, and performs access authentication to permit access if they match. Note that such an access authentication method is merely an example, and other known methods may be used. For example, the individual identification information of the mobile phone terminal 200 is registered for use without using a password. If it matches the individual identification information, access authentication for permitting access immediately may be performed.

  The operation screen is displayed by an application such as an Internet browser built in the mobile phone terminal 200. The same applies to other operation screens described below. May be used. In addition, a configuration in which some of the various related functions described later realized in the web server 121 are realized by dedicated application software installed in the mobile phone terminal 200 may be adopted.

  Next, in step S <b> 20, the web server 121 displays a menu screen on the mobile phone terminal 200. On this menu screen, a menu is displayed so that an image display setting function, a scheduler function, and a function for selecting end can be selected. Actually, the web server 121 has functions such as an album function for browsing a large number of stored images and a frame providing function for providing a photo frame that can be combined with a photographed image. A menu for selecting a function is also displayed, but a description thereof is omitted here.

  Subsequently, in step S30, the web server 121 accepts a selection instruction to the mobile phone terminal 200 by a user who selects any one from the menu displayed in step S20.

  In step S40, the web server 121 determines whether or not the selection instruction received (in step S30) is to select a display setting function. As a result of this determination, if the display setting function is to be selected (Yes in step S40), after the display setting process in step S50 is executed, the process returns to step S20 and the menu screen is displayed again on the mobile phone terminal 200. Is displayed. If the result of determination is that the display setting function is not selected (No in step S40), the process proceeds to step S60.

  Here, the display setting process in step S50 will be described. As described above, the web server 121 has an album function or the like for browsing a large number of stored images, but also for browsing a part of a large number of stored images even in a scheduler function described later. (Hereinafter, this function is referred to as “my pre-notebook function”). In browsing images using these functions, for example, a list display (or thumbnail display) is performed in ascending order or descending order based on the play date and the title name given. Further, predetermined categories such as friends and family are attached to the images, and only images with a specific category can be displayed as a list or thumbnail. Therefore, in the display setting process (step S50), when displaying only images with a specific category, such as the criteria (date and time, title name, etc.) used for the list display or the like, ascending or descending order. An operation screen (not shown) for causing the user to set the category name or the like is displayed on the mobile phone terminal 200, and an operation input for the setting is accepted. The accepted setting information is transmitted from the mobile phone terminal 200 to the image data providing apparatus 100, and stored in the image data providing apparatus 100 in association with the individual identification information (or corresponding unique identification information) of the mobile phone terminal 200. Is done.

  Next, in step S60, the web server 121 determines whether or not the selection instruction received (in step S30) is for selecting a scheduler function. As a result of this determination, if the scheduler function is to be selected (Yes in step S60), after the scheduler process in step S70 is executed, the process returns to step S20 and the menu screen is displayed again on the mobile phone terminal 200. Is done. If the result of the determination is that the scheduler function is not selected (No in step S60), the process proceeds to step S80.

  In step S80, the web server 121 determines whether or not the selection instruction received (in step S30) is to select the end of the process. As a result of this determination, if the end of the process is selected (Yes in step S80), the process ends and the access authentication state is released. Thereafter, for example, a predetermined home page provided by the web server 121 (free of charge without access restriction) is displayed. If the end is not selected as a result of the determination (No in step S80), the process returns to the process of accepting the selection instruction in step S30, and the above process is repeated until the end of the process is selected ( S80 → S30 → S40 →... S80). Next, the contents of the scheduler process in the web server 121 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

<3. Scheduler operation of web server>
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a detailed processing procedure for the scheduler processing of the web server in step S70 of FIG. 3 and a processing procedure in the corresponding mobile phone terminal 200. In the figure, the processing procedures in the mobile phone terminal 200 and the web server 121 are described in parallel so that the data transmission / reception relationship is clearly shown, and in the data transmission direction including the processing request (main) Is marked with a dotted arrow.

  In step S <b> 710 shown in FIG. 4, the web server 121 generates an initial screen for scheduler processing and sends it to the mobile phone terminal 200. The mobile phone terminal 200 receives this initial screen and displays it on the operation screen (step S610).

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of an initial screen for scheduler processing displayed on the mobile screen. FIG. 5 shows a calendar area 810 for providing a scheduler function, a schedule detail area 815, a my pre-bookbook display area 820 for displaying a part of a plurality of composite images stored in the database server 130, and a user. An operation screen 801 that is an initial screen including a display switching area 811 that is a character string displayed in a selectable manner is shown.

  The details displayed on the operation screen 801 will be described in detail. In the calendar area 810, the current month (assumed to be March) and a plurality of consecutive days included in the month (a typical month) are displayed. It is shown in tabular form (which is a calendar form in the display). This display mode is merely an example, and any known mode may be used as long as it is a calendar format other than month display, or a mode that displays other months and a plurality of consecutive days. Note that the plurality of consecutive days may be only weekdays. The list display format will be described later.

  Further, an emphasis frame 813 is added to the outer frame portion of the rectangular column indicating the date (March 8 here) designated by the user included in the calendar area 810. In the mobile phone terminal 200, a configuration for displaying a character string or a certain image portion so as to be selectable, a selection operation method thereof, and the like are well known and will not be described in detail. For example, the highlight frame 813 is a cursor. Can be moved up and down and left and right with a cross key provided in the mobile phone terminal 200, and a specific date is designated by such movement. After that, when an operation for determining the day (operation of pressing the determination button or double-clicking in the vicinity of the emphasis frame 813, etc.) is performed, the detailed contents of the schedule can be set. Details will be described later.

  Here, the column of March 8 included in the calendar area 810 includes two icon images 814 having a cake picture and a wine picture shape in addition to the characters “8” indicating the date. It is. These two icon images 814 are also included in the schedule detail area 815, and have a function that directly represents the contents of the schedule.

  That is, in the schedule details area 815, the character image indicating the month, day, and day of the week corresponding to the schedule content “March 8 (Tue)” is displayed, followed by the icon image 814 of the cake picture, The character string “date” and the icon image 814 of the wine picture are followed by the character string “18:00-drinking party”, and schedules indicating two schedules of the contents indicated by the character string are set. I understand that This schedule detail area 815 shows details of the schedule contents on the day with the emphasis frame 813 (that is, the day selected by the user), which can be set by the user as will be described later. When schedules are set for each of a plurality of days included in the calendar area 810, all the detailed contents cannot be displayed in the operation screen 801. Therefore, an icon image 814 showing all or part of the schedule contents set for all the days included in the calendar area 810 is displayed, and the detailed schedule contents for the day selected by the user are scheduled. It is displayed in the details area 815. Note that schedule contents that cannot be described in the display area of the schedule detail area 815 are displayed so as to be scrollable, for example, and there is an icon image 814 that cannot be described in the column indicating the date in the calendar area 810. Displays an image or a character (for example, a symbol such as “...”) Indicating that there is another image not displayed.

  In the my pre-bookbook display area 820, two of the images taken by the automatic photo creation device 300 and stored in the database server 130 are displayed here as thumbnails. These two thumbnail images are set in the setting information related to the my pre-notebook function set in the display setting process (S50) described above (standards used for display (date and time, title name, etc.), display order, category name, etc.). The two composite images to be selected are reduced and displayed based on the latest two, for example, with a “family” category. This display format is the same as the conventional display format, and sufficient playability and recall are not obtained by such thumbnail display. Because this display is not surprising (or not at all) and there is no information related to the image (or even if there is a title attached to the image), it is related to shooting composite images and graffiti. The memory to be stored is limited to the range recalled from the contents of the image.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the date and time associated with the composite image to be displayed as described above (here, it may be the month and date when the image was specifically taken, or the month and date obtained from another user). Are stored in the database server 130, and a thumbnail image of the composite image corresponding to the day is displayed in the calendar field 810 in the column of the day.

  Specifically, in step S710 shown in FIG. 4, the web server 121 creates a calendar area 810 in a format corresponding to the calendar of the current month (in this case, March) and stores the image stored in the database server 130. The composite image associated with the date included in the month among the dates associated with is read to create reduced image data of the image, and the reduced image (in the corresponding date field of the created calendar area 810) Specifically, a thumbnail image 812) described later is arranged. In addition, an icon image included in the schedule content of the date included in the month among the dates of the schedule content set on the operation screen described later of the mobile phone terminal 200 and stored in the database server 130 is displayed in the created calendar area 810. Place in the corresponding date column. The operation screen 801 including the contents of the calendar area 810 created in this way creates a control language such as HTML (HyperText Markup Language) in the web server 121 and transmits it to the mobile phone terminal 200. It is presented to the user by being interpreted and executed by browser software or other application programs.

  Note that such a display control method is an example, and the operation screen 801 may be displayed on the display unit (mobile screen) of the mobile phone terminal 200 by a known control method. For example, the composite image data is stored in the web server 121. The reduced data is transmitted from the mobile phone terminal 200 to the mobile phone terminal 200, and the reduced data may be generated in the mobile phone terminal 200. Further, all or part of the data indicating the schedule content may be stored in the mobile phone terminal 200. Furthermore, a part of the composite image data stored in the database server 130 or a part of the reduced image data may be transmitted from the web server 121 to the mobile phone terminal 200 in advance. Furthermore, since the reduced image is arranged in the corresponding date column of the calendar area 810, for example, information indicating the display position of the reduced image in the calendar area 810 or display coordinates in the mobile screen instead of the date data. May be transmitted from the web server 121 to the mobile phone terminal 200, and the reduced image is arranged and displayed on the mobile phone terminal 200 based on the information.

  In the calendar area 810 of the operation screen 801 shown in FIG. 5 generated and displayed in this manner, in addition to the above-described highlight frame 813 and icon image 814, 3 corresponding to the date (play date and time) when the composite image was created. A thumbnail image 812 obtained by reducing the composite image is included in the column for month 5. As described above, the thumbnail image 812 is automatically added in the web server 121 without being based on a user instruction according to the date stored in the database server 130 in association with the image. Therefore, when the user displays the operation screen 801 on the mobile screen of the mobile phone terminal 200 in order to confirm the schedule, a reduced image (thumbnail image 812) of the composite image that was previously captured and doodled in the operation screen 801. Is displayed. For this reason, this display is surprising, and it is possible to sufficiently obtain playability different from the case where a large number of images are displayed in a list. In addition, since the reduced image is displayed in relation to the date, the user recalls not only the content of the composite image indicated by the reduced image but also the memory of the date together with the date, and has high recall. Is obtained.

  Here, the thumbnail image 812 or the date column including the thumbnail image 812 is displayed so that it can be selected by the user (for example, can be double-clicked). The web server 121 reads out the requested composite image data from the database server 130, transmits it to the mobile phone terminal 200, and displays it on the mobile screen.

  When the user selects the display switching area 811 on the operation screen 801, the display switching operation screen is displayed, and the calendar display can be switched to the list display. In addition, when an operation such as pressing the enter button or double-clicking the highlight frame 813 is performed, a setting operation screen for performing detailed setting of the schedule is displayed, and various schedule settings including mail notification settings can be performed. it can. Operation inputs for executing such various functions are received by the mobile phone terminal 200, transmitted to the web server 121, executed by the web server 121, and displayed as an operation screen on the mobile phone terminal 200.

  That is, in step S612 shown in FIG. 4, when the mobile phone terminal 200 accepts the above operation input as a command and it is determined in step S614 that no command is input (in the case of No in step S614), The process is repeated until there is an input (S614 → S612 → S614), and when it is determined that there is an input (Yes in step S614), a request is made to execute the command input from the mobile phone terminal 200 in step S620. A command request to be sent is sent to the web server 121.

  The web server 121 receives the command request from the mobile phone terminal 200 in step S720. In step S730, a process corresponding to the accepted command is executed, and a control language for causing the mobile phone terminal 200 to display a corresponding operation screen is transmitted to the mobile phone terminal 200.

  In step S630, the mobile phone terminal 200 interprets the transmitted control language and displays a corresponding operation screen on the mobile screen. Such a configuration and operation are simply as described above. Further, operation screens corresponding to various displayed commands will be described in detail later.

  Thereafter, in step S635, the mobile phone terminal 200 determines whether or not the command input and received by the user is an end instruction. If the command is not an end instruction (No in step S635), there is an end instruction. (S635 → S612 →... → S635), and in the case of an end instruction (Yes in step S635), an end instruction is transmitted from the mobile phone terminal 200 to the web server 121 in step S640. This termination instruction includes a user instruction indicating whether to save or discard the schedule settings. The end instruction also includes setting information such as whether to store the reduced image data indicating the thumbnail image 812 or the reduced image data indicating the image displayed in the my pre-bookbook display area 820 in the database server 130 temporarily. .

  In step S740, the web server 121 accepts an end instruction sent from the mobile phone terminal 200. In step S750, the web server 121 responds to the schedule setting content and the setting information according to the content included in the end instruction. Various data are stored in the database server 130. Next, various operation screens displayed according to the command contents will be described in detail.
