  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Embodiments embodying the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The following is one embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention. In the following drawings, the scale may be different from the actual scale for easy understanding.

(Embodiment 1)
<Printing system>
FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an overall configuration of a printing system including a computer that is operated by a print setting program according to the first embodiment.
The printing system 1000 is a printing system capable of selecting a desired image from among a large number of image candidates and printing the image on a garment 1 as a print medium under a desired print setting. The printer 100, a projector 200 as a projection device, a camera 300, a computer 400, and the like are included.

The printer 100 is, for example, a DTG (Direct to Garment) printer that can directly print on a garment 1 such as a T-shirt. The printer 100 can perform printing based on print settings performed by the computer 400.
The projector 200 is an image projection apparatus provided with a light source, and can project an image based on projection settings performed by the computer 400.
The camera 300 is an imaging device that can capture a moving image or a still image, and can transmit the captured image to the computer 400.

The computer 400 includes a CPU (arithmetic unit), a storage medium (not shown), an input unit 401, a display unit 402, and the like, and controls each of the connected printer 100, projector 200, and camera 300, and the like. Can send and receive image data.
The input unit 401 is information input means as a human interface. Specifically, for example, a port to which a keyboard or an information input device is connected.
The display unit 402 is information display means (display) as a human interface, and can display information input from the input unit 401, an image to be printed on the printer 100, and the like.

  The user of the printing system 1000 or the customer of the garment 1 can select the image 10 to be printed on the garment 1 from a plurality of images stored in the computer 400. The plurality of images to be selected include, for example, general image data obtained by a digital camera or the like, or image data created by an image production application, and the like. The data is collected by the computer 400 via a device or the like and stored in a storage medium included in the computer 400. The image data may be created by the computer 400.

The projector 200 can project the selected image 10 on the wearing body 2 wearing the clothing 1 based on the projection setting set in the computer 400.
The wearable body 2 is preferably a customer of the clothing 1, for example, and the customer wears the clothing 1 on which an image is printed or clothing equivalent to the clothing 1 (try-on clothing) at a predetermined position. Take a standing posture in a defined direction. Specifically, for example, the customer takes a standing posture such that the surface on which the image is printed on the garment 1 is in the direction facing the projector 200 at the standing position clearly shown in the fitting room.
The wearing body 2 may be, for example, a doll similar to the customer's body shape.

  The projector 200 is installed so that an image can be projected at a predetermined position (arrangement position of the wearing body 2), and the clothes worn by the wearing body 2 are adjusted by adjusting the position of the wearing body 2 in the height direction. The image 10 is projected onto 1. Adjustment of the position of the height direction projected on the wearing body 2 can be performed by adjusting the height position and projection angle of the projector 200, or adjusting the vertical movement of the floor on which the wearing body 2 is disposed.

The camera 300 is installed at a position close to the installation position of the projector 200 so that the predetermined position (positioning position of the wearing body 2) can be photographed, and the wearing body 2 wearing the clothing 1 on which the image 10 is projected. Can be obtained and transmitted to the computer 400.
The computer 400 displays the received captured image on the display unit 402 or projects the image on the screen provided separately from the projector 200 to show the captured image of the clothing 1 on which the image 10 is projected to the customer. It is possible to promote evaluation of whether the image selection is good or bad and whether the projection setting is good or bad. A customer may be prompted to evaluate by installing a mirror near the customer and showing a mirror image reflected in the mirror.

  The user or the customer can change the projection setting of the image 10 according to the preference (or body shape) while viewing the captured image of the clothing 1 on which the image 10 is projected. The change of the projection setting includes the position where the image 10 is projected onto the clothing 1, the size of the projected image 10, the degree of inclination (angle) of the projected image 10 with respect to the clothing 1, and the color of the projected image 10 It is a change.

When the change of the projection setting is completed and the projection setting of the image 10 is determined, the computer 400 performs a print setting for printing the image 10 on the clothing 1 based on the projection setting for which the change has been completed. That is, the print setting corresponding to the projection setting before the change is changed based on the changed projection setting.
The change of the print setting includes the position where the image 10 is printed on the clothing 1, the size of the image 10 to be printed, the degree of inclination (angle) of the image 10 to be printed with respect to the clothing 1, and the color of the image 10 to be printed. It is a change.
The user sets the clothing 1 on the printer 100 and causes the computer 100 to execute printing from the computer 400. By executing printing based on the changed print settings, the clothing 1 on which the desired image 10 is printed is obtained.

<Print setting program>
Software that runs on the computer 400 includes a general image processing application and a printer driver.
The printer driver includes a print setting program that characterizes this embodiment, in addition to a function of generating print data for the printer 100 to perform printing.
The print setting program is a program for causing the computer 400 to execute the above-described functions, and causes the computer to realize an image projection function, an image printing function, a projection setting change function, a print setting change function, and the like.

2A and 2B are conceptual diagrams illustrating the relationship between the area to be printed and the projected image.
FIG. 2A is a plan view showing a state of the garment 1 set in the setting unit 3 (see FIG. 1) provided in the printer 100. FIG. The set unit 3 is a flat plate-like transport body for supplying the printing device 100 to a printing area where the printer 100 performs printing while holding the clothing 1 on a flat surface, and fixing the clothing 1 with a frame 3a or the like as illustrated. Can do. The printer 100 can perform printing inside the frame 3a. That is, the area inside the frame 3a is an area where an image can be printed (hereinafter also referred to as a printable area).

FIG. 2B is an example of an image corresponding to the printable area displayed on the display unit 402 of the computer 400. This image is displayed on the screen of the user interface in the projection setting change function.
In the image processing in the computer 400 (print setting program), as shown in FIG. 2B, a canvas area C1 is provided as a virtual area corresponding to a printable area (area that can be printed on the clothing 1). In the internal area of the canvas area C1, the image 10 to be printed can be arranged at a desired position and size.

The image projection function is a function for causing the projector 200 to project an image based on the projection setting. The image projected by the projector 200 is an image of the canvas area C1 including the selected image 10. That is, the image projection function projects an image of the canvas area C1 on which the change of the projection setting of the image 10 is reflected on the projector 200.
Note that the image of the canvas area C1 is an image as a reference pattern indicating the boundary line (for example, the broken line shown in FIG. 2B) so that the range of the canvas area C1 can be seen when projected onto the clothing 1. Frame image 11). The reference pattern is used as a reference for the arrangement of the image 10 (the position of the image 10 and the size of the image 10). That is, the print setting program causes the projection device to project a reference pattern that is a reference for the arrangement of the image 10 on the print medium in the image projection function. However, only the image 10 to be printed may be projected without projecting the reference pattern.
Note that the positions of the canvas area C1 projected onto the garment 1 need to be aligned with each other so as to be a printable area when the garment 1 is set on the printer 100.

The projection setting change function is a function that accepts a change in projection settings and changes the projection settings.
Specifically, the projection setting change function is performed in the canvas area C1 while viewing the image projected on the clothing 1 worn by the wearing body 2 at a predetermined position by the display unit 402 and the image projection function to the user or the customer. This is a function that makes it possible to change the projection setting. As described above, the change of the projection setting is the position where the image 10 is projected onto the clothing 1, the size of the projected image 10, the degree of inclination (angle) of the projected image 10 with respect to the clothing 1, and the projection. The color of the image 10 is changed. These changes are input via a user interface using the input unit 401, the display unit 402, or the like. At this time, the arrangement of the image 10 (the size of the image 10 and the position of the image 10) can be suitably changed by referring to the reference pattern.

  Specifically, the user interface is, for example, an image processing screen that accepts a projection setting change as shown in FIG. For example, on the screen of the display unit 402 shown in FIG. 2B, the image 10a can be enlarged and dragged to be changed to the image 10b by an operation from the input unit 401. The change of the image 10 on this screen (change from the image 10a to the image 10b) is reflected in the projection image by the projector 200 and the print image by the printer 100.

The print setting change function is a function for changing the print setting based on the changed projection setting. That is, it is a function for changing the print settings so that the contents changed by changing the projection settings are reflected in the print image.
More specifically, the print setting change function is a function for generating image information for which the change of projection settings has been completed as print image data. The generated print image data is image data constituting the image 10 arranged in the canvas area C1 (that is, with the canvas area C1 as a background).

  The image printing function is a function for printing an image based on print settings. Specifically, for example, the printer 100 uses cyan ink (C), magenta ink (M), yellow ink (Y), black ink (K), white ink (W), and the like as printing ink. In this case, the image printing function prints the print image data that can be executed by the printer 100 (for example, RGB color space image data constituting the image 10 with the canvas area C1 as the background) generated by the print setting change function. For example, the data is converted into CMYKW color space data corresponding to ink colors used by the printer 100 and transmitted to the printer 100. The printer 100 that has received the print data executes printing.

<Print setting method>
A print setting method using the above-described printing system 1000 will be described according to a procedure.
The print setting method using the printing system 1000 receives an image projection process of projecting an image on the print medium worn by the wearer 2 on the basis of the projection setting and a change in the projection setting by the projection device, and changes the projection setting. A projection setting changing step, and a print setting changing step for changing the print setting based on the changed projection setting.
This will be specifically described below with reference to a flowchart.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a basic flow of the print setting method according to the present embodiment.
First, as preparation, the user starts up the printing system 1000, and the customer wears the garment 1 to be printed. In addition, the user operates the computer 400 to cause the customer to select the image 10 that the customer wants to print on the clothing 1 (step S1).

Next, the customer takes a standing posture at a predetermined position while wearing the garment 1 so that the surface on which the image is printed on the garment 1 is in a direction facing the projector 200.
The user adjusts the projection position of the projector 200 and projects the image 10 on the clothes 1 worn by the customer based on the projection setting (initial value) by the projector 200 (step S2: image projection step). At this time, care should be taken that the frame image 11 indicating the range of the canvas area C1 does not greatly deviate from the printable area for the clothing 1.

  Next, the user adjusts the imaging position of the camera 300, acquires a captured image of the customer wearing the clothing 1 on which the image 10 is projected, and the computer 400 that has received the captured image displays it on the display unit 402. (Step S3). The customer or user changes the projection setting of the image 10 according to the customer's preference while viewing the acquired captured image (step S4: projection setting changing step).

  When the change of the projection setting is completed and the projection setting of the image 10 is determined, the user sets the print setting for printing the image 10 on the clothing 1 by the computer 400 (print setting change function) based on the changed projection setting. This is performed (step S5: print setting changing step).

Next, the clothing 1 is set on the setting unit 3 of the printer 100 (step S6). At this time, the set position of the garment 1 is adjusted so that the canvas area C1 coincides with the area surrounded by the frame 3a in the setting unit 3 with reference to the captured image acquired by the camera 300.
Thus, the print setting is completed, and print data for causing the printer 100 to execute printing is generated based on the image data constituting the image 10 and the print setting changed based on the change information of the projection setting of the image 10. The computer 400 transmits print data to the printer 100, and the printer 100 that has received the print data executes printing.

<Print setting device>
Instead of the printing system 1000 described above, a configuration using a print setting apparatus including a control unit capable of executing various instructions may be used. The print setting device is a device in which a print setting program is installed. For example, the printer 102 in which the print setting program is installed, the projector 202 in which the print setting program is installed, the computer 402 in which the print setting program is installed, and the like. The print setting change device prints an image projection instruction for projecting the image 10 on the print medium worn by the wearer, the image projection instruction for projecting the image 10 based on the projection setting, and a printing device for printing the image 10 on the print medium. A control unit capable of executing an image print instruction for printing the image 10 based on the setting is provided. The control unit is configured to accept a change in projection settings and execute a projection setting change function for changing projection settings and a print setting change function for changing print settings based on the changed projection settings. .

As described above, according to the print setting program, the print setting apparatus, and the print setting method according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
In the printing system 1000, it is possible to change the projection setting of the image 10 projected on the garment 1 worn by the wearer 2 (for example, a customer), and the print setting can be changed based on the changed projection setting. . In other words, the image 10 to be printed can be changed in the same manner by changing the image 10 as desired while viewing the projected image 10.

Further, in the printing system 1000, the position, size, angle, and color of the image 10 to be printed are changed by changing the position, size, angle, and color of the image 10 as desired while viewing the projected image 10. The color can be changed.
Specifically, when the change of the position of the image 10 to be projected is accepted as the change of the projection setting, the print setting program changes the position of the image 10 to be printed by the print setting change function. The print setting program changes the size of the image 10 to be printed by the print setting change function when the change of the size of the projected image 10 is accepted as the change of the projection setting. In addition, when the change of the angle of the image 10 to be projected is accepted as the change of the projection setting, the print setting program changes the angle of the image 10 to be printed by the print setting change function. The print setting program changes the color of the image 10 to be printed by the print setting change function when the change of the color of the image 10 to be projected is accepted as the change of the projection setting.

  Further, in the projection setting change function, the change of the projection setting can be suitably received in the printing system 1000 by receiving the change of the projection setting by the input from the user interface.

(Embodiment 2)
Next, a print setting program and a print setting method according to the second embodiment will be described. In the description, the same components as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.
In the first embodiment, the arrangement and size of the image 10 in the canvas area C1 are based on the assumption that the area (printable area) that can be printed on the clothing 1 and the canvas area C1 that is handled by the image processing in the computer 400 are matched. By setting, projection setting and print setting based on it were performed. In this case, as described above, it is necessary to refer to the captured image acquired by the camera 300 and adjust the setting position of the clothing 1 so that the canvas area C1 matches the area surrounded by the frame 3a in the setting unit 3. was there.

On the other hand, the print setting program of the second embodiment changes the projection setting based on a photographed image obtained by capturing the wearing body 2 including the image 10 projected on the clothing 1 worn by the wearing body 2 in the projection setting changing function. It is characterized by doing. Thereby, it is possible to suitably change the projection setting with reference to the captured image.
This will be specifically described below.

4A to 4C are conceptual diagrams for explaining a print setting method according to the second embodiment.
In the first embodiment, for the purpose of matching the print areas, an image as a reference pattern indicating the boundary line (for example, a broken-line frame image 11 shown in FIG. 2B) so that the range of the canvas area C1 can be understood. Was projected together with the image 10. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, only the image 10 is projected as shown in FIG. (FIG. 4A is an example of an image captured by the camera 300 in the second embodiment.)
Although the projection setting of the image 10 to be projected may be performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment, for example, a method of changing the projection setting of the projector 200 may be used in combination. Specifically, the position and size of the image 10 projected on the clothing 1 may be changed by changing the projection angle from the projector 200 or the enlargement ratio.

  Next, the print setting change function of the computer 400 analyzes the captured image captured from the camera 300, and based on the dimensional specifications of the clothing 1 given in advance as the attribute information of the clothing 1, the image 10 in the printable area. Determine the position and size. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4B, the outline contour information of the garment 1 obtained by analyzing the captured image captured from the camera 300, the characteristic shape of the garment 1 (for example, a collar, a pocket, etc.). Based on the position information and the dimension information of the clothing 1, an area 12 corresponding to the printable area (for example, a broken line area shown in FIG. 4B) is determined. In the area 12 corresponding to the printable area, as shown in FIG. 4C, the position where the garment 1 is set with respect to the set unit 3 is determined in advance as a standard, and the garment 1 is set accordingly. The position is determined on the assumption that If there is a difference between the calculated area 12 and the actual printable area, the position and size of the area 12 may be changed by adjustment work by the user or the like.

Next, the print setting change function calculates the position and size of the image 10 with respect to the area 12 based on the photographed image, and changes the print setting together with the image data of the image 10.
The print setting changing function according to the second embodiment enables the computer 400 to execute the above functions.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a basic flow of the print setting method according to the present embodiment.
First, as preparation, the user starts up the printing system 1000, and the customer wears the garment 1 to be printed. In addition, the user operates the computer 400 to cause the customer to select the image 10 that is desired to be printed on the clothing 1 (step S21).

Next, the customer takes a standing posture at a predetermined position while wearing the garment 1 so that the surface on which the image is printed on the garment 1 is in a direction facing the projector 200.
The user adjusts the projection position of the projector 200 and projects the image 10 on the clothes 1 worn by the customer based on the projection setting (initial value) by the projector 200 (step S22: image projection step).

  Next, the user adjusts the imaging position of the camera 300, acquires a captured image of the customer wearing the clothing 1 on which the image 10 is projected, and the computer 400 that has received the captured image displays it on the display unit 402. (Step S23). The customer or user changes the projection setting of the image 10 according to the customer's preference while viewing the acquired captured image (step S24: projection setting changing step). Note that the projection setting may be changed in the same manner as in the first embodiment, or the position and size of the image 10 may be changed by operating the projector 200.

  When the change of the projection setting is completed and the projection setting of the image 10 is determined, the user sets the print setting for printing the image 10 on the clothing 1 by the computer 400 (print setting change function) based on the changed projection setting. This is performed (step S25: print setting changing step).

Next, the clothing 1 is set at a predetermined position of the setting unit 3 of the printer 100 (step S26).
Thus, the print setting is completed, and print data that causes the printer 100 to execute printing is generated based on the image data constituting the image 10 and the print setting changed based on the change information of the projection setting of the image 10. The computer 400 transmits print data to the printer 100, and the printer 100 that has received the print data executes printing.

  As described above, also in the print setting program and the print setting method according to the second embodiment, the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, as compared with the first embodiment, there is an effect that the alignment of the printable area becomes unnecessary.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and improvements can be added to the above-described embodiment. A modification will be described below. Here, the same components as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

(Modification 1)
In the first embodiment, for the purpose of matching the print areas, an image as a reference pattern indicating the boundary line (for example, a broken-line frame image 11 shown in FIG. 2B) so that the range of the canvas area C1 can be understood. Was projected together with the image 10. Further, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4A, the wearing body 2 including the image projected on the garment 1 worn by the wearing body 2 is projected by projecting only the image 10 without projecting the reference pattern. The position and size for printing the image 10 are set based on the captured image.
On the other hand, the modification 1 projects a reference pattern, and in the print setting program, the print setting change function includes the changed projection setting and the wearing pattern including the reference pattern projected on the clothing 1 worn by the wearing body 2. The print setting is changed on the basis of a photographed image obtained by capturing 2.
This will be specifically described below.

FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example of a reference pattern used in the first modification.
The reference pattern projected together with the image 10 by the projector 200 may be the reference line 13 shown in FIG. 6 or the reference pattern 13 indicating the reference position.
The reference pattern 13 is an image in which the four corner portions of the canvas area C1 and the center position are clearly shown by cross lines. In addition, equidistant grid lines are drawn in the area between them.

By projecting the reference pattern 13, the customer or the user can easily align the left and right center of the canvas area C <b> 1 with the left and right center of the clothing 1, for example. Further, for example, the amount of deviation from the center of the image 10 is easily quantified as the amount of deviation from the grid lines.
Note that, unlike the case of the first embodiment, the canvas area C1 does not necessarily need to match the printable area of the printer 100. That is, as in the case of the second embodiment, even if the projection position or size of the reference pattern 13 including the image 10 projected on the clothing 1 is changed by changing the projection angle from the projector 200 or the enlargement ratio. good.

  The print setting changing function of the present modification analyzes a captured image (image of the clothing 1 including the reference pattern 13 and the image 10) captured from the camera 300, and the garment 1 that is given in advance as attribute information of the clothing 1 is analyzed. Based on the size specification, the position and size of the image 10 in the printable area are determined. Specifically, based on the outline contour information of the garment 1 obtained by analyzing the captured image captured from the camera 300, the position information of the characteristic shape of the garment 1 (for example, a collar and a pocket), and the dimensional information of the garment 1 Then, the position and size of the canvas area C1 in the printable area of the printer 100 are determined. Since the position, size, and inclination of the image 10 inside the canvas area C1 can be determined from the positional relationship with the reference pattern 13, the print setting change function can be used for the position, size inclination, and the like of the image 10 in the printable area of the printer 100. Can be determined, and print settings are made based on the result.

  According to this modification, the same effect as that of the above-described embodiment can be obtained, and the print setting can be changed more suitably.
