  Next, the control processing procedure of each part of the photographing booth 3a by the main controller 60CPU 61 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the player comes to the reception booth 3c, the coin detection unit 41 determines whether or not a predetermined game fee (for example, 400 yen) has been inserted into the coin insertion slot 19 by the player. If this determination result is NO, step S1 is repeated until the determination result is YES, and when the coin is inserted and step S1 is passed with YES, the player sets the portable terminal 75 in advance. After acquiring the QR code of the shooting conditions, editing conditions, and printing conditions obtained through the communication device 73 or directly by the QR code reading means 65, the player is guided to the shooting booth 3a. Then, the shooting section monitor 32 is controlled by the CPU 61 for the player guided to the shooting booth 3a to display a predetermined shooting guide and output a message voice (step S2), and to the portable terminal 75 owned by the player. Using the stored QR code, it is determined whether the QR code is acquired by the QR code reading means 65 via the communication device 73 or the like (step S3).

  If the decision result in the step S3 is NO, a plurality of shooting condition items such as selection of a shooting course displayed on the shooting unit monitor 32, selection of a shooting background, selection of a shooting angle, selection of brightness at the time of shooting, and the like. Waiting for the selection to be made (step S4), and if the determination result in step S3 is YES, the process proceeds to the next step S5 in the same manner as after the shooting condition is selected in step S4, and is set as the shooting condition. After the face or upper body is shot four times (step S5), the whole body shooting set as the shooting condition is performed twice (step S6).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the QR code indicating the setting of the special shooting course is read by the advance setting by the mobile terminal 75 (step S7). If the determination result is NO, the mobile terminal 75 is operated. Assuming that the “special shooting course” has not been selected in advance, it waits for the selection of the “special shooting course” displayed on the shooting unit monitor 32 (step S8). If the determination result in step S8 is YES, After the special shooting course is set using the QR code in step S7, the process proceeds to the next step. If “collage shooting” is selected as the special shooting, “movie shooting” is selected in step S9. If so, the process proceeds to step S10.

  When the special shooting in steps S9 and S10 is completed, the process proceeds to step S11 after the determination result in step S8 is NO and it is determined that “special shooting course” is not selected. It is determined whether or not the elapsed time T1 is assigned and set in advance for shooting and exceeds the set time Te (step S11). If the determination result is YES, the elapsed time T1 is set to the set time Te. Since it does not exceed (T1 <Te) and the time allotted for shooting remains, up shooting is performed as “bonus shooting” (step S12), and then the determination result in step S11 is the same as in the case of NO. The process proceeds to step S13 to give an end of shooting guidance (step S13). Specifically, when a shooting end guidance message is displayed on the shooting unit monitor 32. Moni, is output sound imaging end of guidance message from the imaging unit speaker 37, the operation of each unit of the imaging booth 3a is completed.

  Thereafter, the player who has finished shooting is guided to an empty editing booth 3b, and in the editing booth 3b, editing conditions based on the QR code that is preset by the mobile terminal 75 and read by the QR code reading means 65, or An edited image is created according to the editing conditions set by the operation of the selection screen of the editing section monitor 12 of the editing booth 3b instead of the pre-setting by the portable terminal 75, and selected as an editing target among all the captured images shot at the shooting booth 3a. The edited image is synthesized with the plurality of photographed images to form a synthesized image. Here, the obtained composite image can be uploaded to the server device via the communication device 73 so that it can be downloaded to the player's portable terminal 75 at any time. At that time, the portable terminal 75 identifies the e-mail address. If the information is set in advance, the player can easily download the composite image to the portable terminal 75 owned by the player.

  When the editing is completed, the player is guided to move to the printing booth 3d. In the printing booth 3d, the printing condition based on the QR code preset by the portable terminal 75 and read by the QR code reading means 65, or the portable The composite image is printed on the photo sticker sheet by the printer 42 according to the printing pattern which is the printing condition set by the operation of the selection screen of the printing section monitor 21 of the printing booth 3d instead of the preset by the terminal 75, and is discharged from the discharge port 23.

In the shooting booth 3a, the QR code of shooting conditions, editing conditions, and printing conditions set in advance by the player using the portable terminal 75 is acquired via the communication device 73 or directly by the QR code reading means 65. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the player enters the shooting booth 3a, a predetermined demo movie is started to be displayed on the shooting unit monitor 32 (step S21), and the coin detection unit 41 causes the player to enter the coin insertion slot 19. It is determined whether or not a predetermined game fee (for example, 400 yen) has been inserted (step S22). If the determination result is NO, steps S21 and S22 are repeated until the determination result is YES, and coins are inserted. If YES in step S22, a predetermined shooting guide is displayed and a message voice is output (step S23).

  Then, an inquiry is made to the player as to whether or not to use the QR code stored in the portable terminal 75 owned by the player (step S24). If this determination result is YES, the portable terminal 75 in advance It is determined whether or not the QR code representing the setting result of the set photographing condition is acquired by the QR code reading unit 65 via the communication device 73 or the like (step S25). If the determination result is NO. Step S24 is repeated.

  If the determination result in step S24 is NO, that is, it is determined that the QR code is not used, in step S26, a shooting course displayed on the shooting unit monitor 32, a shooting background, and a shooting angle are selected. Then, it waits for the selection of a plurality of shooting condition items such as selection of brightness at the time of shooting (step S26), and thereafter, similarly to the case where the determination result in step S25 is YES, the process proceeds to step S27 to set the shooting conditions. After the set face or upper body has been shot four times (step S27), the whole body shooting set as the shooting condition is performed twice (step S28).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the QR code indicating the setting of the special shooting course is read by the advance setting by the mobile terminal 75 (step S29). If the determination result is NO, the mobile terminal 75 is operated. Assuming that the “special shooting course” has not been selected in advance, waiting for the selection of the “special shooting course” displayed on the shooting unit monitor 32 (step S30), and if the determination result in step S30 is YES, After the special shooting course is set using the QR code in step S29, the process proceeds to the next step. If “collage shooting” is selected as the special shooting, “movie shooting” is selected in step S311. If so, the process proceeds to step S32.

  When the special shooting in steps S31 and S32 is completed, the process proceeds to step S33, and the shooting is started after the determination result in step S30 is NO and it is determined that “special shooting course” is not selected. It is determined whether or not the elapsed time T1 is assigned and set in advance for shooting and exceeds the set time Te (step S33). If the determination result is YES, the elapsed time T1 is equal to the set time Te. Since it does not exceed (T1 <Te) and the time allotted for shooting remains, up shooting is performed as “bonus shooting” (step S34), and then the determination result in step S33 is the same as in the case of NO. The process proceeds to step S35, where shooting end guidance is provided (step S35). Specifically, a shooting end guidance message is displayed on the shooting unit monitor 32. Together, are output sound imaging end of guidance message from the imaging unit speaker 37, the operation of each unit of the imaging booth 3a is completed.

  Thereafter, the player who has finished shooting is guided to an empty editing booth 3b, and in the editing booth 3b, editing conditions based on the QR code that is preset by the mobile terminal 75 and read by the QR code reading means 65, or An edited image is created in accordance with the editing conditions set by operating the selection screen of the editing section monitor 12 of the editing booth 3b, and a plurality of captured images selected as editing targets among all the captured images captured in the imaging booth 3a. The edited image is synthesized to form a synthesized image. Furthermore, in the printing booth 3d, the printing conditions set based on the QR code preset by the portable terminal 75 and read by the QR code reading means 65, or the printing set by operating the selection screen of the printing unit monitor 21 of the printing booth 3d. According to the printing pattern which is a condition, the composite image is printed on the photographic sticker sheet by the printer 42 and is discharged from the discharge port 23.

  Therefore, according to the second embodiment, even if there is no reception booth 3c, an effect equivalent to that of the first embodiment can be obtained.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in each of the above-described embodiments, the case has been described in which both the shooting condition and the editing condition are set by the operation of the mobile terminal 75 by operating the mobile terminal 75. However, only at least one of the shooting condition and the editing condition is set. It may be.
