This will be described later.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of data stored in the database 2.
4A shows a data configuration example of the image data 20, and FIG. 4B shows a configuration example of the user data 40.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the image data 20 includes image data 27 and attribute information such as school name 21, type 22, grade 23, class 24, name 25, event name 26, and the like of each image data. Composed.

Since the database 2 stores image data 20 for a plurality of schools, a school name 21 or an identifier for identifying the school is required.
The type 22 is data indicating the type of the image data 20, and is, for example, a photograph, a work, a face photo, or the like. You may make it distinguish a snapshot and a group photo.

If the grade, class, and name of the image data 20 can be specified, the grade 23, class 24, and name 25 are designated as attribute information.
The event name 26 is, for example, “excursion”, “athletic meet”, or the like. In addition, in the case of the image data 20 of a work such as a composition, “reading impression text” or the like may be designated as the event name 26.

FIG. 4B shows an example of user data 40.
User data 40 is user information and is used for user authentication processing, determination of access authority, and the like. Users who access the school photo management system 1 are business operators, teachers, students, PTA officers, guardians, and the like.

The user data 40 includes a user ID 41, a password 42, a school ID 43, a school year / class / name 44, and the like.
In the case of a trader, the user ID 41 and the password 42 are the school ID 43 of the school where the trader was in charge of shooting. When shooting is performed for a plurality of schools, a plurality of school IDs 43 are registered (for example, the trader A in FIG. 4B is s1 and s2).

In the case of a teacher, it consists of a user ID 41, a password 42, and a school ID 43. In addition, the grade of the homeroom teacher may be designated as the user data 40.
When a student or a PTA officer uses the school terminal 4, the student / PTA user ID 41 and password 42 may be used.

  When a student or a guardian accesses from the terminal 6 at home, the user ID 41 (guardian 1, guardian 2), password (h1, h2), and school ID (s1) are assigned to each student or household. As the user data 40, the grade, class, and name 44 of the student are registered. When there are a plurality of students in one family, one user ID 41 and a password 42 may be assigned to one family, and data for the number of students may be registered in the grade, class, and name 44.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a process flow of the server 3.
The control unit 31 of the server 3 determines whether or not there is access from the terminals 4, 5, and 6 (step 101). If there is an access (Yes in Step 101), it is determined whether or not the terminal is a school terminal 4 based on the IP address of the terminal that made the access (Step 102).

  When it is determined that the terminal is a school terminal 4 (Yes in Step 102), the control unit 31 of the server 3 starts a school application (Step 103) which is a program for the school terminal 4.

  On the other hand, when the access is not from the school terminal 4 (No in Step 102), the control unit 31 of the server 3 executes an authentication process (Step 104). That is, the user is requested to input the user ID 41 and the password 42, and the authentication process is performed from the input user ID 41 and the password 42.

If authenticated, it is determined whether it is a trader who has accessed from the user ID 41, or a guardian (including a student) or a teacher (steps 105 and 107). In the case of a trader (Yes in step 105) Then, the merchant application (step 106), which is a program for the merchant, is activated.
On the other hand, if it is a guardian or a teacher (Yes in step 107), the personal application (step 108) is activated.

  On the other hand, in the authentication process, if the person is neither a vendor nor a guardian (including students) or a teacher (No in step 107), it is assumed that there is no access right to the school photo management system 1 (authentication failure), and the process ends. .

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the processing flow of the school application (step 103).
The school application is a program executed for access from the school terminal 4. If the school application is executed by access from the terminal 6 at home or the terminal 5 from the contractor, there is a risk that image data will be registered in the database 2 without permission. Therefore, the school application can be accessed from the terminal 4 at the school. It should only be executed against.

The control unit 31 of the server 3 first performs an authentication process (step 131).
9-11 is a figure which shows the example of a screen of the terminal 4 of a school.
FIG. 9A is a diagram showing an example authentication screen 51.
As shown in FIG. 9A, for example, it is requested to input a school ID.
When the user inputs the school ID into the designated portion 511 and presses the “next” button 513, the control unit 31 of the server 3 determines whether the IP address when accessing the terminal 4 is for the school indicated by the school ID, for example. Authentication processing may be performed depending on whether or not.

If authenticated, the user is then inquired whether to register or view the image data (step 132).
That is, as shown in a registration / browse selection screen example 52 in FIG. 9B, the user selects whether image data is registered or viewed.
The user selects whether to register or view an image, and presses a “Next” button 523.

In the case of image registration (“registration” in step 132), the control unit 31 of the server 3 first causes the user to specify attribute information of the image to be registered (step 133).
FIG. 9C is a diagram showing an attribute input screen example 53.
As shown in FIG. 9C, the type 22 of image data to be registered is selected. The selected type 22 is stored in the database as attribute information of the image data 20.

Further, in addition to the type 22 of the image data 20, other attribute information is input as necessary.
FIG. 9D is a diagram showing an example attribute input screen 54.
For example, when the type of the image data 20 to be registered is a work (scanned image), the type of the work (for example, “reading impression”) is designated as the event name 26, and the creator's grade 23, class 24, name 25 Can be specified.

  If the type 22 is a group photo, only necessary information such as an event name 26 (for example, “excursion”), a school year (for example, “2”), and a class (for example, “3”) may be specified. Good.

  Next, the control unit 31 of the server 3 uploads an image (step 134). The user may specify image data to be uploaded from the school terminal 4 and transmit it to the server 3.

The control unit 31 of the server 3 stores the image data and attribute information received from the school terminal 4 in the database 2 (step 135).
The control unit 31 of the server 3 inquires of the user whether or not the registration has been completed (step 136). If there is still image data to be registered (No in step 136), the process returns to step 133, and steps 133 to 136 are performed. Repeat the process.
When registration of the image data in the database 2 is completed (Yes in step 136), the school application (step 103) is terminated.

If browsing of an image is selected in step 132 (“browsing” in step 132), the user is caused to specify attribute information of image data to be browsed (step 137).
FIG. 10A is a browsing attribute designation screen example 55 displayed on the screen of the school terminal 4.
As shown in FIG. 10A, for example, an event name 26, a grade 23, a class 24, and a name 25 may be designated as necessary.

The control unit 31 of the server 3 searches the image data 20 in the database according to the specified attribute information, displays the extracted image data 20 on the display of the school terminal 4, and ends the process (step 138).
For example, as shown in FIG. 10A, when the event name 26 “athletic day” is designated, the image data of the school name 21 of the school ID and the attribute information / event name 26 is “athletic day” from the database 2. Are displayed on the terminal 4 of the school. When there are a plurality of image data to be displayed, thumbnail images may be displayed, and image data selected from the thumbnail images may be displayed in a large size.

  The school application described above (step 103) makes it possible to register in the database 2 image data of photographs taken by teachers and PTA officers and scan data of student works (pictures and compositions). The school photo management system 1 can centrally manage various image data related to.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the processing flow of the supplier application (step 106). The trader executes a process of registering image data taken by the company in the database 2 of the school photo management system 1.
The control unit 31 of the server 3 first designates which school image data is to be registered (step 161).
That is, as shown in FIG. 9A, an authentication screen example 51 is displayed on the vendor's terminal 5, and the school ID or school name is input.

Next, the control unit 31 of the server 3 designates attribute information of image data to be registered (step 162). That is, the attribute input screens 53 and 54 as shown in FIGS. 9C and 9D are displayed on the terminal 5 of the trader to input the attribute information.
In the case of a trader, it is considered that only photographed photographs are registered. Therefore, in the example of the attribute input screen in FIG. 9C, either a photograph or a group photograph may be selected.
In the example of the attribute input screen shown in FIG. 9D, the event name 26, the grade 23, and the class 24 may be input as necessary.

  After designating the attribute information of the image data, the control unit 31 of the server 3 uploads the image data (step 163). At this time, a plurality of image data may be uploaded together.

The control unit 31 of the server 3 stores the image data uploaded from the trader's terminal 5 in the database 2 together with the attribute information (step 164).
The control unit 31 of the server 3 inquires whether or not the registration of the image data has been completed (step 165). If there is still image data to be registered (No in step 165), the process returns to step 162, and steps 162 to 165 are performed. Repeat the process.
On the other hand, when the registration of the image data is completed (Yes in step 165), the processing of the supplier application (step 106) is terminated.

  The merchant application (step 106) registers image data taken by the merchant in the database 2 of the school photo management system 1, and if there is image data of the school taken by another merchant, or is registered from the school terminal 4. It is possible to manage them together with the image data.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the personal application (step 108).
The personal application (step 108) is a program for parents (including students) and teachers to browse image data and make print orders.

When browsing, the school photo management system 1 according to the present embodiment can extract image data showing a specific student from a lot of image data, and can narrow down the number of browsing.
That is, each student's face image data is registered in advance, and at the time of browsing, the similarity between the face image included in the photograph and the face image data is calculated, and image data including a face image with a high similarity is included. Let them browse to

In the personal application (step 108), first, the control unit 31 of the server 3 identifies whether it is a parent or teacher from the authentication processing result of step 104 (step 181).
If it is determined in step 181 that the person is a guardian, then the control unit 31 of the server 3 displays an authentication processing screen 51 as shown in FIG. 9A on the home terminal 6 and inputs a school ID (step). 182).
In addition to the authentication process using the user ID 41 and password 42 performed in step 104 (FIG. 5), security can be improved by inputting the school ID 43.

Next, the control unit 31 of the server 3 selects registration of face image data or browsing / ordering (step 183).
FIG. 10C is a diagram showing a face image registration / browsing / order selection screen example 57.
For example, face image data may be registered at the beginning of the fiscal year, and when face image data is completed, only browsing / ordering may be designated.

  When registration of face image data is selected in step 183 (“face image registration” in step 183), the control unit 31 of the server 3 starts from the home terminal 6 and registers the grade level 23, class 24, and name 25 of the student to be registered. Is input (step 184), and the face image is uploaded (step 185). The uploaded face image data is stored in the database 2 together with data of grade 23, class 24, and name 25 as attribute information (step 186).

  Next, the control unit 31 of the server 3 inquires of the home terminal 6 whether or not the registration of the face image is completed (step 187), and when the registration of the face image is not completed, such as when there are siblings. (No in step 187), the process returns to step 184, and the processes in steps 184 to 187 are repeated. When the registration of the face image is finished (Yes in Step 187), the personal application (Step 108) is finished.

When viewing / ordering is selected in step 183, the control unit 31 of the server 3 can view images based on the student ID 43 and grade / class / name 44 data stored in the user data 40. The data is narrowed down to the image data of the class of the school year of the school ID (step 190).
As a result, it is possible to browse only the image data about the grade and class of the child of the guardian, and it is possible to prevent browsing of image data of the grade and class not related to the child.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 181 that the teacher is a teacher, the school ID 43 is input from the terminal used by the teacher (step 191). A teacher can view and order image data.
In addition to the authentication process using the user ID 41 and password 42 performed in step 104 (FIG. 5), security can be improved by inputting the school ID 43.

The control part 31 of the server 3 narrows down the school which can be browsed by the school ID input at step 191 (step 192).
Furthermore, the control unit 31 of the server 3 selects the grade / class to be viewed (step 193).

After step 190 and step 193, the control unit 31 of the server 3 causes the image data browsing method to be selected (step 194).
FIG. 10D is a diagram showing a browsing method selection screen example 58.
For example, an event to be browsed may be selected, a work may be browsed, or all image data may be browsed.

  If event selection is specified in step 194, then an event name is specified (step 195). For example, it may be specified as “athletic meet”. Thereby, it is possible to further narrow down the image data to be browsed narrowed down in step 190 and step 193.

Next, whether or not to perform face image recognition is selected (step 196).
FIG. 11A is a diagram showing an example of a selection selection screen 59 based on face images.
When the “Yes” button 591 is selected (Yes in Step 196), the control unit 31 of the server 3 executes face image recognition processing on the browsing target image data, and stores the face image of the student registered by the parent in the database 2. Image data in which a face having a high similarity is photographed is extracted, the browsing image data is narrowed down (step 197), and the browsing target image data is displayed on the terminal 6 (step 198).
A known method may be used as the face image recognition processing method.

On the other hand, when face image recognition is not performed (No in step 196), the image data of the target grade / class of the event name selected in step 195 is displayed on the terminal 6 (step 198).
All the image data narrowed down by the event names in step 192, step 193, and step 195 may be displayed on the terminal 6 without performing face image recognition.

If it is selected in step 194 to view the work, the control unit 31 of the server 3 displays only the image data of the work created by the accessed guardian's child on the terminal 6 (step 199).
If it is determined in step 181 that the teacher is a teacher, works belonging to the school, grade, and class designated in steps 192 and 193 may be displayed on the terminal 6.

On the other hand, when “all” is designated in step 194, the control unit 31 of the server 3 selects whether or not to narrow down by the face image (step 200). If step 200 is Yes, the image data of the photograph is selected. Performs face image recognition processing on the browse target image data, extracts image data in which a face having a high similarity to the student's face image registered by the guardian is extracted from the database 2, and narrows the browse image data (Step 201), browsing object image data is displayed on the terminal 6 (step 202).
Moreover, the control part 31 of the server 3 displays only the image data of the work created by the child of the accessed guardian on the terminal 6 (step 202).

  If it is determined in step 181 that the teacher is a teacher, the image data of works and photographs belonging to the school, grade, and class specified in steps 192 and 193 may be displayed on the terminal 6. (Step 202).

The above process automatically narrows down the grades / classes that can be viewed by parents, limiting them to the children's children's grades / classes only, and to the children's work. It becomes possible to browse.
In addition, by registering face image data in the database 2 in advance, it is possible to browse only image data of a photo that includes a face having a high similarity to the face image data. become.

After the browsing process is completed, it is selected whether or not to place a print order for the browsed image data (step 203).
FIG. 11B is a diagram showing a purchase selection screen example 60.
If the purchase is not selected (No at Step 203), the processing of the personal application (Step 108) is terminated.

  When purchase is selected (Yes in Step 203), the control unit 31 of the server 3 selects an image to be purchased (Step 204), and selects a processing method such as print size and trimming, a quantity, and the like ( In step 205, billing processing corresponding to the order is executed (step 206), image data is transferred to the printer, and distribution of printed matter is managed (step 207).

Through the above processing, it is possible to centrally manage the image data of photographs and the scan data of works registered in the database 2 by a plurality of vendors, school teachers, students, and PTA officers, thus protecting them. The person can view and order those image data.
In addition, by managing the user data 40 of parents, traders, and teachers, it is possible to automatically restrict and restrict the image data that can be viewed, and it is possible to construct a system with high security.

  Further, by registering face image data in advance, it is possible to extract a photograph showing a face having a high similarity to the face image data from the photograph image data, and to narrow down and view the photograph.
