  For example, the target lens shape acquisition unit acquires target lens shape data of a spectacle frame. The target lens acquisition unit may include, for example, a measurement unit, and may measure target lens data by the measurement unit, or may read target lens data from an external target lens measuring device.

  As a method for measuring the target lens shape data, for example, there is a method for measuring target lens shape data by placing a measuring element along the rim of the spectacle frame. Further, for example, the target lens may be specified by photographing a demo lens or the like, and the target lens data stored in the storage unit may be read out. Further, design data or the like may be used as target lens data.

  For example, the image acquisition unit acquires image data related to a spectacle frame.

  The spectacle lens processing device may function as a spectacle lens processing system by a spectacle frame shape measuring device (for example, the tracer 4) and a spectacle lens processing device (for example, the lens edger 5). For example, the spectacle frame shape measuring apparatus measures the lens shape of the spectacle frame and acquires the lens shape data of the spectacle frame. For example, the spectacle lens processing apparatus may process the peripheral edge of the spectacle lens. The eyeglass lens processing system may include, for example, the image acquisition unit and the information processing unit as described above.

Then, the information processing unit may cause the storage unit to store the image data with the target lens shape data, which is the image data storing the target lens shape data. Further, the information processing unit may extract the target lens shape data from the image data with target lens data stored in the storage unit, and transmit the extracted target lens shape data to the eyeglass lens processing apparatus.

Also good. For example, the display control unit may cause the display unit to display the image data stored in the storage unit by the information processing unit. For example, the transfer unit may transfer the target lens shape data associated with the image data displayed on the display unit to the eyeglass lens processing apparatus.

  The spectacle lens processing device may be a data server or a terminal device. For example, the data server may store the target lens data in the image data of the spectacle frame, or the terminal device may store target lens data in the image data.

  Note that a spectacle lens processing device (for example, a terminal device, a spectacle lens processing device, a spectacle frame shape measuring device, a cup mounting device, or a spectacle lens measuring device) can extract target lens data from image data with target lens data.

<Outline of Second Embodiment>
The outline of the eyeglass lens processing system according to the second embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. The spectacle lens processing system (for example, spectacle lens processing system 1) of this embodiment is used when processing spectacle lenses, for example.

The data sharing server includes, for example, a storage unit (for example, memory 32) for storing target lens data. For example, the terminal device transfers the target lens data to the data sharing server.

  For example, the data sharing server may receive the target lens shape data from one terminal device through a communication network, and transfer the received target lens shape data to another terminal device. Accordingly, the eyeglass lens processing system may share the target lens data among a plurality of terminal devices.

  Note that the data sharing server may periodically communicate with a plurality of terminal devices. Then, the new target lens shape data is received from one terminal device via the communication network, and the received new target lens shape data is compared with the target target lens data already stored in the storage unit. Depending on the comparison result, the own target lens shape data may be updated, and the updated target lens shape data may be transferred to another terminal device via the communication network. Accordingly, the data sharing server may synchronize the target lens data among the plurality of terminal devices.

  Note that the plurality of terminal devices may further include an information acquisition unit (for example, the control unit 13). The information acquisition unit may acquire, for example, evaluation information that evaluates the fitting when the spectacle lens processed using the target lens data is put in the spectacle frame. In this case, the data sharing server may share the evaluation information among the plurality of terminal devices by receiving the evaluation information acquired by the information acquisition unit and transferring the evaluation information to other terminal devices as described above. .

  Note that the information acquisition unit may acquire processing conditions when processing the spectacle lens using the target lens data, for example. In this case, the data sharing server may share the processing conditions among a plurality of terminal devices by receiving the processing conditions acquired by the information acquisition unit and transferring them to other terminal devices as described above. .

  Note that the information acquisition unit may acquire classification information classified by at least one of the color and shape of the spectacle frame, for example. In this case, as described above, the data sharing server may receive the classification information acquired by the information acquisition unit and transfer the classification information to other terminal apparatuses to share the classification information among a plurality of terminal apparatuses. .

  In addition, you may provide a terminal device, for example, a transmission part (for example, control part 13) and a receiving part (for example, control part 13). For example, the transmission unit may transmit the target lens data to the data sharing server. For example, the receiving unit may receive the target lens data from the data sharing server.

  For example, the terminal device may receive the target lens shape data transmitted from another terminal device to the data sharing server by the transmission unit from the data sharing server by the reception unit. Accordingly, the terminal device may share the target lens data with other terminal devices.

  The terminal device may receive the target lens data stored in the storage unit of another terminal device, for example, by the receiving unit. For example, the terminal device may function as a data sharing server.

  Note that a plurality of terminal devices may be connected to the data sharing server via one terminal device. Accordingly, the target lens shape data stored in the data sharing server may be shared among a plurality of terminal devices via one terminal device.

<Outline of Third Embodiment>
The outline of the eyeglass lens processing apparatus according to the third embodiment will be described below. The spectacle lens processing apparatus (for example, spectacle lens processing apparatus, spectacle frame shape measuring apparatus) of this embodiment is used when processing spectacle lenses. The eyeglass lens processing apparatus mainly includes, for example, an imaging optical system (for example, the imaging optical system 61), a target lens acquisition unit (for example, the control unit 501), and an information processing unit (for example, the control unit 501). The imaging optical system photographs a spectacle frame, for example. For example, the target lens shape acquisition unit acquires target lens shape data of a spectacle frame. For example, the information processing unit may store the image data of the spectacle frame captured by the imaging optical system in association with the target lens shape data acquired by the target lens acquiring unit in the storage unit. Thus, the user can confirm the shape of the target lens shape data with the associated image data.

  Note that the spectacle lens processing apparatus may further include a mounting portion (for example, the mounting table 62 and the support portion 63). For example, the placement unit may place a spectacle frame. In this case, the imaging optical system may photograph the spectacle frame placed on the placement unit.

  Note that the imaging optical system may photograph the spectacle frame from above the height of the surface including the left and right temples of the spectacle frame placed on the placement unit. Thereby, the imaging optical system can photograph not only the shape of the eyeglass frame but also the shape of the temple.

  Note that the imaging optical system may have, for example, an imaging optical axis that is tilted to the left or right with respect to a plane including the symmetry axis of the spectacle frame placed on the placement unit.

  Note that the eyeglass production apparatus may further include a background member (for example, the background member 64). For example, the background member is disposed behind the spectacle frame placed on the placement unit with respect to the imaging optical system, and forms a background color that increases the contrast with the spectacle frame as the background of the subject. Good.

  The spectacle lens processing apparatus may further include a number registration unit (for example, the control unit 501). For example, the number registration unit may register the work number set for each spectacle in the image data of the spectacle frame captured by the imaging optical system. In this case, the information processing unit is the same as the image data in which the work number is registered by the number registration unit and the work number registered in the image data by the number registration unit among the target lens shape data acquired by the target lens acquisition unit. The target lens data registered with the work number may be associated with each other and stored in the storage unit. This prevents the discrepancy between the image data and the target lens data.

  For example, the eyeglass lens processing apparatus may be an eye position measuring apparatus that measures the eye position of the subject. In this case, the imaging optical system may also be used as a measurement optical system for photographing the subject in order to measure the eye position.

  The spectacle lens processing device may be a spectacle frame shape measuring device having a measuring element and measuring the lens shape of the spectacle frame by the measuring element.

  Further, the spectacle lens processing device may be a cup mounting device including a lens mounting table for mounting a spectacle lens and an arm for mounting a cup to the spectacle lens mounted on the lens mounting table.

  The spectacle lens processing apparatus may be a spectacle lens processing apparatus that includes a lens processing unit and processes the peripheral edge of the spectacle lens by the lens processing unit.

<Example>
Hereinafter, examples of the eyeglass lens processing system according to the present disclosure will be described. A spectacle lens processing system 1 shown in FIG. 1 mainly includes a lens meter 2, a blocker 3, a tracer 4, a lens edger 5, and an information processing terminal (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as a terminal) 10. The eyeglass lens processing system 1 may include a shared server 30. The shared server 30 may include, for example, a control unit 31 and a memory 32. For example, the lens meter 2, the blocker 3, the tracer 4, the lens edger 5, the terminal 10, and the shared server 30 may be connected to each other via a communication network. The communication network may be wired or wireless, for example.

  The lens meter 2 is a device for measuring the optical center of a spectacle lens, for example. For example, the lens meter 2 includes a measurement optical system (for example, a Shack-Hartmann optical system) 6 and measures the optical center of the spectacle lens. Further, the lens meter 2 may be provided with a marking mechanism 7 and may mark the optical center measured by the measuring optical system 6.

  The blocker 3 is a device for attaching a cup to a spectacle lens. This cup is used as a jig for holding the spectacle lens by the lens edger 5. For example, the blocker 3 attaches the cup to the spectacle lens with reference to the mark point provided at the optical center of the spectacle lens by the lens meter 2. The blocker 3 includes, for example, a camera 8 and may automatically detect the mark point and attach the cup, or the user may attach the cup according to the position of the mark point on the scale.

  The tracer 4 is a device for measuring the target lens shape of the spectacle frame. For example, the tracer 4 includes a control unit 401 and a memory 402. For example, the tracer 4 may place a measuring element (not shown) along the rim of the spectacle frame and measure the lens shape of the spectacle frame based on the trajectory of the measuring element.

  The lens edger (hereinafter abbreviated as edger) 5 is an apparatus for processing the peripheral edge of a spectacle lens into a lens shape of a spectacle frame, for example. The edger 5 may include a control unit 501, a memory 502, and the like, for example. The edger 5 includes lens processing means of at least one of a grindstone and a cutter, and processes the peripheral edge of the spectacle lens based on the lens shape data of the spectacle frame acquired by the tracer 4.

<Terminal device>
The terminal 10 is used, for example, for the user to manage information for producing eyeglasses. The terminal 10 may include a display unit 11, an operation unit 12, a control unit 13, a built-in camera 20, a memory 21, and the like, for example. The display unit 11 presents information for producing eyeglasses to the user, for example. For example, the display unit 11 displays an image of a spectacle frame photographed, a graphic image of the spectacle frame, a graphic image of target lens data, and the like. For example, the operation unit 12 outputs an operation signal to the control unit 13 of the terminal 10 based on a user operation. Note that the display unit 11 of the present embodiment uses a touch panel display and is also used as the operation unit 12. Of course, the display unit 11 may not be a touch panel type. In this case, for example, the operation unit 12 may include various switches and accept user operations. The built-in camera 20 includes an image sensor (not shown) and is used to capture an image of a spectacle frame or the like.

  For example, an application for storing the target lens shape data in the image data is installed in the terminal 10 of the present embodiment. For example, the control unit 13 executes the application and stores the target lens shape data in the image data. As the image data for storing the target lens shape data, for example, an image including information for recognizing the shape of the spectacle frame such as a photograph of the spectacle frame, a graphic created based on the target lens shape data of the spectacle frame is used (see FIG. 2 (a) (b)).

  As a file format of image data, for example, an Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format) standard in which image attribute information such as a main image, a thumbnail image, and shooting information is recorded in a predetermined format is known. For example, in an Exif standard file, image attribute information is stored in a directory on a tree called IFD. In the Exif standard, a tag called “MakerNote” is defined in the area of the Exif IFD that is one of the IFDs, and the manufacturer may record unique information in this “MakerNote” tag.

  In general, image data may define an information area related to user information such as the above MakerNote tag. Tags related to user information as described above can be freely used by the user, and the data format to be stored is often free. For example, tags called MakerNote are defined for JEPG, and private chunks are defined for PNG. Similar tags are often defined in other image formats.

  For example, the control unit 13 stores eyeglass frame lens data in an information area such as the tag described above. The lens shape data is, for example, radius vector information with the frame center of the lens shape as the origin. As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 13 stores the target lens shape data in a tag defined in the image data. For example, the control unit 13 calls a desired tag with a tag number determined for each image data format, and writes the target lens shape data to the called tag. By doing so, the control unit 13 can create image data in which the target lens shape data is stored.

  Further, the control unit 13 can extract the target lens shape data stored in the image data by executing the application. For example, the control unit 13 calls a tag storing the target lens shape data, and outputs the target target lens data to a file format in which the edger 5 can read the stored target lens data.

<Storage / extraction of target lens data>
Hereinafter, an operation of the application when storing and extracting the target lens data in the image data will be described. Based on the operation signal output from the operation unit 12 based on the user's operation, the control unit 13 stores or extracts the target lens shape data in the image data. First, an operation for storing target lens data in image data will be described. FIG. 4 is an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 11 when the application is activated. On the display unit 11, for example, an image selection button 14, an image data column 15, a target lens selection button 16, a target lens data column 17, a target lens storage button 18, a target lens extraction button 19, and the like are displayed. The The image selection button 14 is a button that is selected when selecting image data for storing the target lens shape data. The image data column 15 is a column in which the file name and image of the selected image are displayed. The target lens selection button 16 is, for example, a button that is selected when selecting target lens data to be stored in the image data. The target lens data column 17 is a column in which the file name of the selected target lens is displayed. The target lens storage button 18 stores the target target lens data in the selected image data. The target lens shape extraction button 19 is a button to be selected when extracting target lens shape data from the selected target image data with target lens shape data.

  First, the user selects the image selection button 14 using the operation unit (touch panel here) 12. When the image selection button 14 is selected, the control unit 13 displays an image reference screen 22 (see FIG. 5A). For example, the user refers to the storage location of the image data of the spectacle frame taken by the built-in camera 20 of the terminal 10 on the image reference screen 22 and selects the stored spectacle frame image data. When the image data of the spectacle frame is selected, the control unit 13 displays the file name and image of the image data in the image data column 15 (see FIG. 4). Subsequently, the user selects the target lens selection button 16 using the operation unit 12. When the target lens selection button 16 is selected, the control unit 13 displays a target lens reference screen 23 (see FIG. 5B). For example, the user refers to the storage location of the spectacle frame lens data acquired by the tracer 4 or the like on the target lens reference screen 23 and selects the stored spectacle frame lens data. When the target lens shape data is selected, the control unit 13 displays the target lens data file name in the target lens data column 17. Note that the control unit 13 may cause the display unit 11 to display a graphic image of the selected target lens shape data so that the user can confirm the shape of the target lens shape data.

  When the eyeglass frame image data and target lens data are selected, the user selects the target lens storage button 18 using the operation unit 12. When the target lens storage button 18 is selected, the control unit 13 stores the selected target lens data in the tag of the selected image data.

  Next, an operation for extracting target lens shape data from image data will be described. For example, the user selects the image selection button 14 using the operation unit 12. When the image selection button 14 is selected, the control unit 13 displays an image reference screen 22. For example, the user refers to the storage location of the image data with target lens data in which target lens data is stored by using the image reference screen 22 and selects the stored target image data with target lens data. At this time, the user may select image data with reference to the thumbnail image. When the image data with target lens data is selected, the control unit 13 displays the file name, image, and the like of the image data with target lens data in the image data column 15. When the user selects the image data with target lens data, the user operates the target lens extraction button 19 using the operation unit 12. When the target lens shape extraction button 19 is operated, for example, the control unit 13 extracts the target lens data stored in the tag of the selected target image data with target lens data, and stores the target lens data in the folder set as the output destination. Output.

  As described above, the control unit 13 can create target image data-added image data in which target lens data is stored. Thus, the control unit 13 can manage the target lens shape data as image data. When managing the target lens shape data as in the past, the user has determined the target lens shape based on the file name or the like in which the target lens model number has been input. However, it is difficult to imagine the shape of the target lens shape by the file name, and it is difficult for the user to search for desired target lens shape data.

  Therefore, by storing the target lens shape data in the image data as in this embodiment, the target lens shape data can be handled together with the image data. Therefore, even if the user cannot imagine the shape of the target lens shape by the file name of the target lens shape data, the user can grasp the shape of the target lens shape data by confirming the image data. Therefore, the control part 13 can reduce that a user misses selection of target lens data.

  As described above, depending on the format of the image data, a tag for storing a reduced version (thumbnail) of the image data is prepared, and the thumbnail image of the original image data is automatically stored. In such a case, the user can search for the lens shape data of the eyeglass frame to be created while looking at the thumbnail image on the file list screen as shown in FIG. 5A, and saves the trouble of opening the image data file.

  Note that the control unit 13 may store not only the target lens data but also other information in the image data. For example, the control unit 13 may store solid information (for example, the manufacturer, model, model number, etc. of the tracer 4) of the tracer 4 used for acquiring the target lens data. For example, depending on the manufacturer and model of the tracer 4, even when the same spectacle frame is measured, the target lens data may be different. Therefore, if the information of the tracer 4 is stored in the image, the user can select target eyeglass lens lens data with reference to the manufacturer, model, etc. of the tracer 4.

  Further, the control unit 13 may store the color information of the spectacle frame in the image data. For example, even if the spectacle frames have the same model number, the shape of the target lens shape may differ slightly depending on the color of the spectacle frames. When the lens shape data is stored in image data that does not reflect the color of the eyeglass frame, such as a monochrome photograph of the eyeglass frame or an eyeglass shape graphic, the color of the eyeglass frame is not known. For this reason, the color information of the spectacle frame may be stored in the tag of the image data. And the control part 13 displays color information, for example, when displaying the target lens-shaped graphic image on the display part 11. FIG. Thus, the user can select the target lens shape data after confirming the target image graphic image data and the color information stored in the image data.

  In addition, the control part 13 may store the evaluation information of target lens data in the tag of image data. For example, the control unit 13 may store the fitting evaluation when the spectacle lens is framed in the frame after manufacturing the spectacles in the tag of the image data based on the input to the operation unit 12 by the user. Thereby, the user can select the target lens data with reference to the evaluation information stored in the image data.

  Note that the control unit 13 may store the processing conditions in a tag. For example, as described above, even when the evaluation of the target lens shape data stored in the image data is high, there is a possibility that the finish may be different depending on whether or not the processing is performed under the same conditions as the evaluation. is there. In such a case, the processing conditions when the spectacle lens is processed based on the evaluated target lens data are stored in the image data, so that the spectacle lens is processed again using the same target lens data. Can be processed with the same finish as the evaluation.

  The processing conditions of the target lens data include, for example, information on the lens edger used, such as lens curve, lens thickness, lens material used, lens edger manufacturer, model, model number, etc. Examples of the processing method and processing operation of the eyeglass lens. Here, the machining operation is, for example, a relative operation between a lens chuck shaft that holds a spectacle lens and a machining tool.

  The tag storing the target lens data may not be a manufacturer note. For example, the control unit 13 may store information related to the target lens shape data as described above, such as a tag for storing the image shooting date, a tag for storing a comment, and the like.

  The tag for storing the target lens shape data is not limited to the tag defined by the image format, and may be a tag added to the image by the application. For example, the control unit 13 may add a tag to the image data by executing an application. Then, the control unit 13 may add the image data to the tag added to the image data. The control unit 13 stores the target lens shape data in a tag added to the image data. Furthermore, the control unit 13 may store the target lens shape data in a tag added to the image data.

  In some cases, a tag is not defined, such as image data in a bitmap format. In such a case, a unique information area may be defined in the image data and the target lens shape data may be stored. For example, the information area for storing the target lens shape data may be identified according to the order of recording in the image data.

<Control action of the entire system>
Hereinafter, as shown in FIG. 6, in the spectacle lens processing system of a plurality of spectacle stores (for example, shop A, shop B, etc.), the control operation when processing spectacle lenses by sharing the target lens data with other stores Is described based on the flowchart of FIG. Here, in the example of FIG. 6, a case is shown in which eyeglass data of a spectacle frame traced in shop A is shared and a spectacle lens is processed in shop B.

  First, in the shop A, the control unit 13 of the terminal 10 acquires image data of a spectacle frame (step 1-1). For example, the control unit 13 may acquire an image of a spectacle frame taken by the user using the built-in camera 20 of the terminal 10. The control unit 13 may store an image of the spectacle frame acquired by the built-in camera 20 in the memory 21.

  Then, the control part 13 acquires the lens shape data of a spectacles frame (step 1-2). For example, the control unit 13 may acquire the target lens data measured by the user tracing the spectacle frame using the tracer 4. The control unit 401 of the tracer 4 traces the set spectacle frame and stores the lens shape data of the spectacle frame in the memory 402. Further, the control unit 401 transmits the traced target lens shape data to the edger 5. When the control unit 501 of the edger 5 receives the target lens shape data, it stores it in the memory 502.

  For example, the terminal 10 may access the memory 402 of the tracer 4 by communication means such as wireless (may be wired) and acquire eyeglass frame data. When the target lens shape data is acquired, the user selects image data and target lens shape data using the application as described above, and presses the storage button 19. The control unit 13 receives an operation signal from the operation unit 12 and stores the target lens shape data acquired from the tracer 4 in the image data of the selected spectacle frame (step 1-3).

  Image data storing the target lens shape data (hereinafter also referred to as target image data-attached image data) is transmitted from the terminal 10 to the shared server (for example, cloud server) 30 (step 1-4) and stored in the memory 32. . Saving to the shared server 30 may be performed automatically by the control unit 13 or manually by the user. The terminal 10 is synchronized with the shared server 30 and may be automatically transmitted to the shared server 30 when the terminal 10 acquires the image data with the target lens shape data. Further, the control unit 31 of the shared server may automatically acquire the image data with target lens data from the terminal 10.

  For example, the user obtains the optical center of the fabric lens with the lens meter 2 and marks it with an ink pen or the like. Then, for example, the user uses the blocker 3 and attaches the cup at a predetermined position with respect to the optical center marked by the lens meter 2. The cup is attached to the lens by, for example, a double-sided tape. The cup is used as a jig when processing the lens with the edger 5. The user sets the eyeglass lens to which the cup is attached by the lens meter 2 and the blocker 3 on the edger 5. The edger 5 processes the peripheral edge of the set spectacle lens based on the target lens shape data received from the tracer 4.

  The user frames the processed spectacle lens in the spectacle frame. The user confirms the fitting when the spectacle lens is put in the spectacle frame. For example, when the fitting is good, the user may operate the terminal 10 and give a high evaluation value to the target lens shape data used this time. For example, the user may input the evaluation level of the target lens data in accordance with the fitting in the information area of the image data with target lens data. When the target lens is evaluated by the user, the evaluation information may be synchronized with the shared server 30, and the evaluation information may be reflected in the target lens data on the shared server 30.

  Next, when producing glasses without using the tracer 4 in the shop B, the user accesses the shared server 30 using the terminal 10 and acquires image data with target lens data (step 2-1). For example, the user accesses the shared server 30 using the terminal 10 and searches for the lens shape data of the spectacle frame of the spectacles to be created. In this case, since the target lens shape data is stored in the image data as described above, the user searches for a desired spectacle frame while checking the image data.

  When there are a plurality of target lens shape data of the same spectacle frame, the user may select target lens data based on, for example, evaluation information of target lens data. For example, the user may download the image data with target lens data in which target lens data having the highest evaluation among the desired spectacle frames is stored. Moreover, the shared server 30 may present the number of downloads of each target lens shape data to the user. As a result, the user may acquire popular target lens shape data with a large number of downloads.

  The control unit 13 extracts the target lens shape data from the acquired image data with target lens data (step 2-2) and transmits it to the edger 5 (step 2-3). The edger 5 receives the target lens shape data and processes the peripheral edge of the set spectacle lens (step 2-4).

  When the processing of the spectacle lens by the edger 5 is completed, the user takes out the spectacle lens from the edger 5 and puts it in the spectacle frame. The user may confirm the fitting when the spectacle lens is put in the spectacle frame, and may record the evaluation value of the target lens data by the terminal 10. The evaluation value of the target lens shape data recorded by the user may be synchronized and shared by the control unit 31 of the shared server 30. The shared server 30 may collectively store the evaluation values input from each user. For example, the shared server 30 may calculate the average evaluation value from each user and store the average value as evaluation information of the target lens shape data.

  As described above, the eyeglass lens can be processed without using the tracer 4 by acquiring the target lens shape data from the shared server 30 using the terminal 10. Furthermore, the data of the tracer 4 can be shared with other users, whereby a plurality of target lens data can be acquired. Furthermore, since the target lens data uploaded to the shared server 30 can be evaluated, even when there are a plurality of target lens data, it is possible to obtain better target lens data by comparing the evaluations.

  For example, the shared server 30 that controls the shared data may classify and manage the shared image data with target lens data. For example, the image data with the target lens shape data may be managed by classifying into the store of the spectacle store, the manufacturer of the spectacle frame, the color, and the shape (two points, rimless, etc.). For example, the control unit 31 such as the shared server 30 may read and classify information such as store, manufacturer, color, and shape recorded in the image data with target lens data. Thus, by classifying and managing the image data with target lens shape data, the user can easily find desired image data with target lens shape data.

  In the above description, the shared server 30 is used to share the image data with target lens shape data, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the image data with the target lens shape data uploaded on the web may be shared by downloading. In this case, the target lens shape data may be extracted from the downloaded image data with target lens data.

  In the above description, the image data of the spectacle frame is taken by the built-in camera 20 such as the terminal 10, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a photographing unit for photographing a spectacle frame is provided in a device used when producing spectacles such as an eye position meter, a tracer 4, a blocker 3, an edger 5, a lens meter 2, and a refractometer, and image data of the spectacle frame is acquired. May be. The eye position meter, for example, takes an image of a subject wearing spectacles and prepares spectacle wearing parameters (distance between pupils, distance between frame pupils (frame PD), eye point height, distance PD). , Near-field PD).

  For example, FIG. 8 is an example when the photographing unit 60 is provided in the edger 5. The photographing unit 60 may include, for example, an imaging optical system 61 for photographing a spectacle frame from a predetermined direction.

  Furthermore, the imaging unit 60 may include a mounting table 62 for mounting a spectacle frame. The mounting table 62 may include, for example, a support unit 63 that supports the spectacle frame in a predetermined direction with respect to the imaging optical axis of the imaging optical system. For example, the photographing unit may photograph the spectacle frame supported by the support portion 63 of the mounting table 62 from a predetermined direction. For example, the photographing unit 60 may photograph a spectacle frame from a direction in which the shape of the spectacle frame is easily visible. The direction in which the shape of the spectacle frame is easy to visually recognize is, for example, a direction inclined in either the left or right direction with respect to a plane including the left-right symmetry axis of the spectacle frame, or an upper direction with respect to the plane including the left and right temples The direction may be inclined in the direction. As a result, it is possible to capture an image in which not only the eyeglass frame shape but also the shape including the temple can be easily confirmed.

  Furthermore, the photographing unit 60 may include a background member 64 that serves as a background when photographing a spectacle frame. The background member 64 may form a background color having a high contrast with the spectacle frame so that the color of the spectacle frame is easily visible. For example, it may be formed in white.

  By using such a photographing unit 60, it is possible to photograph an image in which the shape, color, etc. of the spectacle frame can be easily seen. Furthermore, it is possible to give a sense of unity to the images of the spectacle frames, and it is easy to compare a plurality of spectacle frames.

  Note that the imaging optical system 61 of the imaging unit 60 may also be used as an optical system provided for other purposes. For example, in an eye position meter, a refractometer, or the like, a measurement optical system for photographing the subject's face or the anterior eye portion of the subject may be used as the imaging optical system 61 of the photographing unit 60. Further, for example, in a lens meter or blocker, a measurement optical system for measuring a spectacle lens may be used as the imaging optical system 61 of the imaging unit 60.

  Note that when the target lens shape data is stored in the image data, the target lens shape data having the same work number set for each pair of glasses may be combined with the image data. In this case, for example, the work number is determined at the start of the eyeglass production work for a certain wearer. Then, the lens shape data corresponding to the work number is obtained by reading at least one of the frame trace and the registered pattern data. Further, by inputting a work number when photographing a spectacle frame with the photographing unit 61 mounted on the spectacle production device, image data associated with the work number can be obtained. At least one of the shared server 30 and each device or the like combines the target lens shape data associated with the work number and the image data and stores them in a specific place. Furthermore, at least one of the shared server 30 and individual devices may upload the stored file as shared data to the website, the shared server 30 or the like.

  In this way, by automatically associating the target lens data and the image data storing the target target lens, it is possible to omit the work of the user selecting and combining the target lens data and the image data. Furthermore, it is possible to reduce mistakes in storing the target lens data in the image data of another spectacle frame.

  In the above description, the lens shape data of the spectacle frame is stored in the image data. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the hole position data may be stored in the image data. The hole position data is, for example, hole position information when a spectacle lens is drilled.
