Next, the website provided by the website server 200 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a configuration example of a website top screen displayed on the display unit of the client terminal 100 that has accessed the website server 200. The top screen 300 is an online album introduction screen provided by the website server 200, and upon receiving a press of the new album creation button 301, the image data upload screen of FIG. 7 is displayed. Reference numerals 302 and 303 denote display areas for introducing albums created by the online album site provided on this website. In 302 and 303, for example, albums related to topics that are featured on the website are picked up, or albums created by users called “moderators” who are familiar with the industry of each topic are displayed. In the album display areas 302 and 303, a thumbnail image of the cover of each album, an album title, and an album creator (member user name of the website) are displayed.

<Photo template>
Next, a process for selecting and editing a photo template by accessing the website server 200 from the client terminal 100 will be described. In the embodiment of the present invention, an image is uploaded using a sheet called a photo template provided by an online album site and set with a certain theme.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a display example of a template sheet called “photo template” acquired from the website server 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention, in which an image theme is defined. For example, a plurality of photo templates are registered in the website server 200, and a user selects and uses a favorite template.

  Photo templates have a certain number of themes in one large category. For example, in FIG. 9, 25 small themes “First Time ○ ×” are set in the category “First Animal Part”. The user uploads images to the website server 200 in accordance with this theme. When all the images have been uploaded with one photo template, it is possible to obtain content called “incentive”, which is given only to users who have completed the theme.

<Online album site login process>
First, the client terminal 100 accesses an Internet site provided from the website server 200 and executes user login. In the user login, when an input of a user ID (for example, a unique character string, an e-mail address, etc.) and a password are accepted and the user ID and password are transmitted to the website server 200, a predetermined of the website server 200 is obtained. The transmitted user ID is registered in the data table in the user data table (not shown) stored in the storage unit, and the password stored in association with the user ID matches the transmitted password. If the user ID and password match the values registered in the user data table, the member top page (FIG. 3) is transmitted to the client terminal 100. Here, the website server 200 does not necessarily store the user data table, and a user authentication server may be prepared separately.

  Thereafter, selection of a service to be displayed is accepted on the top screen of FIG. For example, in FIG. 3, “Travel” and “Kids” services (301) are displayed. Here, an instruction to press a service category providing a photo template service is accepted. In the present embodiment, when receiving a press of the “Kids” tab 301 to use a photo template provided in the “Kids” category, the client terminal 100 makes a screen transmission request to the website server 200. Upon receiving the screen transmission request from the client terminal 100, the website server 200 transmits screen display data (HTML) for transmitting the photo template screen of FIG.

  When the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 receives the screen display data for transmitting the photo template screen of FIG. 4 transmitted from the website server 200, the browser analyzes it and displays the photo template screen of FIG.

<Photo template screen>
FIG. 4 is a display example of a photo template screen on which images according to the theme are displayed in order to provide an incentive to the user in this embodiment. The photo template screen is a part of the service provided in the category of “Kids” in the present embodiment (the service is merely an example and is not limited to this).

  In FIG. 4, the web page of the tab (401) written as “first photo” is the web page on which the photo template screen is displayed in the present embodiment. The photo template screen 400 includes a template title 402, a remaining number 403 until completion of the template, an edit button 404, a photo template display area 405, and a “photo movie for the first time” acquisition button 406.

  The template title 402 displays the title of the selected photo template, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 5, and the name of the subject (kids) taking the theme photo using the template. In the display example of FIG. 4, the template title “Uedo-kun Animal Part 3” is displayed. This is because the selected template is “Animal Part 3” and the template is used. Shows that the subject taking the theme photo is “Ueo-kun”.

  In this embodiment, the user can upload a subject image using a plurality of types of photo templates. Accordingly, when the user uses a plurality of types of photo templates, it is possible to switch the template displayed in the photo template display area 405 by accepting a press on the template title 402. . The storage management structure of the photo template used by the user who stores and manages the website server 200 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The storage management structure of the photo template provided by the online album site of the present embodiment, which is also stored and managed by the website server 200, will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  The remaining number 403 indicates how many remaining themes of the number of themes set in the template need to be uploaded. For example, in FIG. 4, the number of themes set in the photo template display area 405 is 25, and it can be understood that the photo template is completed by uploading “remaining 15 (theme)” images.

  The photo template display area 405 is an area for displaying an image of the theme set in the selected photo template. When the pressing of the edit button 404 is accepted, an image is uploaded to the photo template display area, or a mode for replacing an already uploaded image is set. In the photo template display area 405, a display for distinguishing a cell (frame) in which an image according to the theme has already been uploaded from a cell in which an image has not yet been uploaded is displayed. In the display example of FIG. 4, a “☆” mark (407) is displayed on a cell that has been uploaded, and a “?” Mark (408) is displayed on a cell that has not been uploaded.

  In addition, an uploaded cell displayed with a “☆” mark 407 in the photo template display area 405 can also display a thumbnail of an actually uploaded image. In this case, a thumbnail (1103 in FIG. 11) generated when an image is uploaded from the client terminal 100 is displayed on the photo template display screen. In each square in the display area of the photo template, a theme “first XXXXX (theme enters)” indicating which square the image of which theme is uploaded is displayed.

  Reference numeral 410 denotes a post text edit box and a post button for accepting comments from other users who use the online album site or posting comments on photo templates used by other users.

<Image Upload Processing from Client Terminal 100>
Next, processing after the photo template screen is displayed on the client terminal 100 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

  In S101, upon receiving the screen information of the photo template screen (FIG. 4) transmitted from the website server 200, the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 reads the screen information (HTML information) with an internet browser and displays it on the display unit.

  In S102, when the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 accepts the press of the new template creation button (409 in FIG. 4) on the photo template screen 400, the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 asks the website server 200 to acquire a screen for creating a new photo template. An album creation instruction including a screen acquisition request is transmitted. That is, if a new template is used in S102 (YES), the process proceeds to the detailed flow of FIG. The description of FIG. 14 will be described later.

  If the image is uploaded to the template on the currently displayed photo template screen (NO), the process proceeds to S103.

  In step S <b> 103, the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 accepts image upload of a theme that has not been uploaded among the themes set on the photo template screen. As a specific method example, when the cursor is moved over the photo template display area 405 and a right-click depression of the mouse is accepted, a dialog window shown in FIG. 6 is displayed. The above display method is merely an example, and it is possible to display by a method other than the right click (only cursor over may be used). Alternatively, it is also possible to select a square on which an image is to be uploaded with the cross key among squares on which an image is displayed.

  In S103, when the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 accepts a right click with a predetermined square and displays a dialog window 601, the CPU 201 accepts selection of which image storage area the image is acquired from. In the dialog 601, pressing of “select from storage” or “select from PC” is accepted (S 104).

  Upon accepting the pressing of “select from storage” or “select from PC”, in S105, the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 displays the screen (FIG. 7) transmitted from the website server 200 to display the image upload screen. When the screen information is received, the screen information (HTML information) is read by the Internet browser and displayed on the display unit.

<Image upload screen>
In the image upload screen 700 of FIG. 7, selection and upload of an image to be displayed (uploaded) on the photo template are executed. When the user presses a “select from storage” button 401, a list of images that have already been uploaded to the website server 200 with the currently logged-in user name and saved in a predetermined storage unit is displayed on the client terminal 100. An image is displayed on the display unit, and an image is selected for creating an album from an image list screen (not shown). On the image list screen, images can be selected one by one or a plurality of images can be selected.

  When the pressing of the “Upload from PC” button 702 in FIG. 7 is accepted, an image selection screen (not shown) is activated, and selection of an image to be uploaded from the storage area (HD) of the client terminal 100 is accepted. Alternatively, when a thumbnail of an image stored in the client terminal 100 or an external storage device connected to the client terminal 100 is moved by dragging and dropping into the area described as “Drag and drop image” in 703. It is also possible to start uploading images for which selection has been accepted.

  When the image is moved to the area 703 by drag and drop, the upload process is started for each data of the image, and the user can check the processing status with the upload meter 705. For the image for which upload processing has been completed, a thumbnail is generated, and the thumbnail is displayed in the upload image display area 06. In this case, since the images moved by drag and drop are uploaded one by one, image storage in a predetermined storage unit of the website server 200 is performed each time.

  Returning to FIG. 13, when the image upload screen is displayed in S105, the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 in S106, from the image storage area selected in S104 (the storage of the website server 200 or the local of the client terminal 100). Accept selection of images to upload.

  In step S106, selection of an image to be uploaded is accepted. In step S107, when the “upload button” 704 on the image upload screen in FIG. 7 displayed on the client terminal 100 is accepted, the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 takes the selected image as a photo. Start uploading images to store in templates. During uploading, the upload meter 705 in FIG. 7 keeps updating the image upload progress.

  In S <b> 108, the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 receives information from the website server 200 that image uploading to the website server 200 has been completed.

  In S109, the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 updates the photo template screen (first photo top screen) in FIG. 4 and displays a mark (for example, “☆” indicating that the image has been uploaded on the square of the template for which the image has been uploaded. ")" Or thumbnails of uploaded images.

  In step S110, the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 determines whether all the image uploads of the theme set in the photo template have been completed. If images have been uploaded for all themes, the process proceeds to S111.

  In S111, the CPU of the client terminal 100 provides the user with an incentive to upload all the theme images using the “first photo movie browsing button” (406) on the photo template screen 400 of FIG. 4 as an active button. . When all the images of the theme have been achieved, an achievement dialog (for example, a dialog with “CONGRATULATIONS !!”) 801 shown in FIG. 8 is displayed in a state where the photo template screen 400 is grayed out. The provision of incentives may be started by accepting the pressing of the “First Photo Movie Start Button”.

  In step S112, when the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 accepts the “start movie for the first time” 802 or the button press 406 in FIG. 4, the CPU 201 starts playing the incentive provided by the website server 200.

<Create a new template>
The flowchart in FIG. 14 illustrates processing when a new template creation instruction is received on the photo template screen 400 (YES in S102). When the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 accepts pressing of the “new template creation button” 409 in FIG. Specifically, information on selectable photo templates is acquired together with the screen information of the photo template selection / selection screen in the website server 200. The photo template data table stored in the storage unit of the website server 200 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In S202, the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 accepts selection of a newly created photo template, and in S203, determines a subject (kids) to which the template is applied.

  In S204, when the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 accepts pressing of the “template creation button”, a photo template is created.

<Photo template selection screen>
FIG. 5 is a display example of a photo template selection screen displayed on the display unit of the client terminal 100 in S201. Reference numeral 501 denotes a list of photo templates stored and managed by the website server 200.
The storage management status of the photo template will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  Reference numeral 502 denotes a pull-down box for accepting selection of a subject (kids in this embodiment) to which the photo template is applied in S202. In this embodiment, “Ai Ueo-kun” and “Kashiwa-ku Maeko-chan” are registered as user-selectable kids. When applying a subject different from the currently registered subject (kids) to the template, selecting “New Registration” from the pull-down menu 502 displays the subject new registration dialog shown in FIGS. By adding a new subject according to the dialog, application to the template becomes possible.

  Reference numeral 503 denotes a button for creating an original photo template. This button is displayed only when logged in with a user account authorized to generate an original photo template. The user account that is given the authority to generate the original photo template refers to, for example, the administrator account of the online album site of this embodiment or a paid member account.

  When the pressing of the “template creation button” 504 is accepted, a photo template is created based on the information selected by the user, and is registered in the website server 200 in association with the user data.

<Photo template storage management>
FIG. 12A shows a photo template data table stored and managed by the website server 200. The data table of the photo template is provided by “photo template title” 1202 and “theme” 1203 set in each template by completing all the themes of the template (uploading images). ”1201 and managed.

  For example, “First Animal Part 1”, “First Animal Part 2”, and “First Animal Part 3” indicated by 1202 correspond to the photo template titles and are displayed in the template list 501 of the photo template selection screen in FIG. In addition, it is also displayed as a photo template title 402 on the photo template screen of FIG. 4 after the template is created.

  For each photo template, a “theme” 1203 is set. For example, each theme is displayed in the photo template display area 405 such as “first orangutan” or “first Malayback”. Furthermore, in 405 of FIG. 4, a theme is written in each square, and it is possible to recognize which theme image is displayed in which square.

  Reference numeral 1201 denotes the type of digital incentive provided by completing all the themes set in the photo template (uploading an image).

  The digital incentive is content that is provided to a user when a specific condition that is an online album site to which the present invention is applied and cannot be viewed by a general user. For example, in the present embodiment, “first movie” in which the image uploaded in accordance with the theme of the photo template is converted into a movie format is provided as a digital incentive, but this is merely an example, and is not limited thereto.

  In FIG. 12, the digital incentive is set to be stored in one-to-one correspondence with the photo template. For example, when multiple types of digital incentives are associated with one photo template and completed. The format may be randomly provided from a plurality of types.

  Also, it is possible to change the contents of the digital incentive provided to the user according to the completion period from the start of using the photo template. (B) of FIG. 12 is an example of setting conditions when providing a digital incentive to the user. For example, if the completion period of one photo template is “within 30 days”, the first-priority digital incentive (rich creation) is provided, and if it is “over 31 days, within 90 days” Providing templates with different ranks according to the period until completion, such as providing two-priority digital incentives (things that are standard), is expected to promote users' willingness to use. This condition setting can be performed by logging in with the administrator user account of the embodiment of the present invention.

  Note that the photo template stored and managed by the website server 200 and the theme set for the template are created by logging in to the online album site of the present embodiment with an account that is given editing authority. Thus, the process stored in the website server 200 and the editing of the theme set in the already stored photo template can be performed.

  For example, an account with the editing authority may be an administrator user account for an online album site or an original photo template other than a photo template stored (preinstalled) in the website server 200. There are paid membership accounts.

  The template creator can also set the digital incentive that the client terminal 100 can acquire when all the themes set in the original template generated by the paid member account or the like are completed. For example, it is possible to set pre-installed digital incentives, and it is also possible to set digital content (for example, moving images, still images, audio files, etc.) created by the template creator. .

<Storage management of images uploaded to photo templates>
FIG. 11 associates and stores user data stored and managed in the storage unit of the website server 200, a photo template created by the user, and an image uploaded according to the theme for each photo template. It is a user data table.

  The user name 1101 is a character string that uniquely identifies a user who uses the online album site realized in the present embodiment. In general, the user ID (for example, kiyanon1000) or the user name itself (for example, Taro Kitani) corresponds to this. The user name 1101 is registered as member information when the user uses the online album site.

  Next, a template 1102 indicates a photo template currently used by the user. More specifically, the photo template screen is stored and managed by the website server 200 in FIG. 12 described above, created by the user's “new template creation” instruction, and when the user logs into the online album site in the present embodiment. 400 is displayed.

  1103, 1104, 1105, and 1106 are image data (1103) uploaded according to the theme of the template, a thumbnail image (1104) generated when the image is uploaded from the client terminal 100, and FIG. The image metadata (for example, data in Exif format) (1105) and the theme (1106) indicating which theme of the template the image was uploaded to are shown.

  In the data table configuration example of FIG. 11, the user “kiyanon1000” uses the photo templates “First Animal Part 1” and “First Animal Part 2”, and the template is “First Animal Part 1”. Shows a state in which images of themes of guinea pig, capypara, anteater, chimpanzee, and Indian elephant are uploaded and stored in association with each other.

  In 1107, a recording date when an image is uploaded to the website server 200 is recorded. This is used as a condition when the user later acquires a digital incentive. When the theme set in one photo template is achieved within a predetermined number of days, the types of digital incentives that can be acquired differ, so the upload date and time is recorded.

<Image metadata table>
FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data table configuration of metadata included in an image. The image metadata includes, for example, information of “photographing model”, “photographing date / time”, “GPS coordinates”, “photographing mode”, and “image serial number”.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the digital content uploaded to the photo template has been described on the premise of a “still image”. However, the type of content to be uploaded is not limited to this, and there is no problem whether it is a “moving image” or an “audio file”.
