  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a flow of processing of image / video registration and video playback according to the present embodiment. Here, user A registers an image in server device 1 using mobile terminal 4A, user B registers a video in server device 1 using mobile terminal 4B, and user C uses mobile terminal 4C to store a video. An example of reproduction will be described. The mobile terminals 4A, 4B, and 4C have the same configuration as that of the mobile terminal 4 described above. Note that the user A (mobile terminal 4A), the user B (mobile terminal 4B), and the user C (mobile terminal 4C) may all be different, or any one person (one) may be different. May be the same.

  When the user A operates the mobile terminal 4A, executes the moving image registration / playback application, and selects the image registration mode, the image data in the memory 41 can be selected. When the user A selects any image data (step S101), the data transmitting unit 53 transmits the selected image data to the server device 1 (step S102).

  The server device 1 stores the image data received from the mobile terminal 4A in the database 17, secures a storage area for storing moving image data, and stores storage location information for specifying the storage area in the mobile terminal 4A. Notification is made (step S103).

  The user A operates the image printing apparatus 2 and starts a print order for a photograph with a moving image. Using the wireless communication function of the image printing apparatus 2, the same image data as that transmitted to the server apparatus 1 and the storage location information notified from the server apparatus 1 are transferred from the portable terminal 4A to the image printing apparatus 2 ( Step S104).

  Upon receiving payment of a fee from the user, the image printing apparatus 2 encodes the storage location information to generate a two-dimensional code image, and synthesizes the two-dimensional code image and the image data transferred from the portable terminal 4A. Then, a composite image is generated (step S105).

  The printer 23 prints this composite image on photographic paper and outputs it (step S106). Thereby, the user A can obtain the printed matter 3 on which the image 31 and the two-dimensional code 32 are printed (step S107). Thereafter, the user A transfers the printed material 3 that can be registered as a moving image to the user B (step S108).

  When the user B executes the moving image registration / playback application of the portable terminal 4B and selects the moving image registration mode, the camera 42 is activated and a two-dimensional code reading instruction is displayed on the display 44. The portable terminal 4B acquires storage location information by photographing the two-dimensional code 32 of the printed matter 3 with the camera 42 (step S109). When the mobile terminal 4B accesses the server device 1 based on the storage location information, the server device 1 indicates that the moving image data corresponding to the storage location information when accessed from the mobile terminal 4B is not yet registered. Notify

  Based on this notification, the moving image data in the memory 41 of the portable terminal 4B can be selected. When the user B selects any moving image data (step S110), the data transmission unit 53 transmits the selected moving image data to the server device 1 (step S111). The server device 1 stores the moving image data received from the mobile terminal 4B in the database 17 in association with the image data received from the mobile terminal 4A in step S102. Thereafter, the user B transfers the printed matter 3 that is a photograph with a moving image to the user C (step S112).

  When the user C executes the moving picture registration / playback application of the mobile terminal 4C and selects the moving picture playback mode, the camera 42 is activated and a two-dimensional code reading instruction is displayed on the display 44. The portable terminal 4C acquires storage location information by photographing the two-dimensional code 32 of the printed matter 3 with the camera 42 (step S113).

  Based on the storage location information, the image acquisition unit 71 of the portable terminal 4C accesses the server device 1 via the communication unit 43 and requests image data (step S114). The server device 1 refers to the management information and transmits image data corresponding to the moving image data indicated by the storage location information when accessed from the mobile terminal 4C to the mobile terminal 4C (step S115).

  When the portable terminal 4 </ b> C receives image data from the server device 1, an instruction to read the image 31 is displayed on the display 44. When the image 31 of the printed matter 3 is captured by the camera 42, the feature point comparison unit 72 compares the feature points of the image received from the server device 1 and the image 31 captured by the camera 42 (step S116). If the feature points match, the portable terminal 4C requests the moving image data from the server device 1 (step S117).

  The server device 1 transmits moving image data corresponding to the image data transmitted to the mobile terminal 4C in Step S115 to the mobile terminal 4C (Step S118). When the mobile terminal 4C receives the moving image data, the moving image reproduction unit 73 reproduces the moving image data by superimposing it on the image 31 captured by the camera 42 using a known AR technique (step S119).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the printed matter 3 output from the image printing apparatus 2 is captured by the portable terminal 4, the moving image is superimposed on the printed matter 3 and reproduced to the portable terminal 4. Video data can be distributed.

  Image data and moving image data can be registered in the server device 1 by the user. The moving image data can be registered after the printed matter 3 is created and purchased by the image printing apparatus 2. Therefore, the printed matter 3 created by the image printing apparatus 2 has a high degree of freedom in the user who registers the moving image and the timing of registration.

  When registering image data, a password for moving image registration may be set. The image data receiving unit 11 receives a password together with image data. The user who registered the image data tells the password when transferring the printed material before moving image registration to another user. The server device 1 acquires the terminal information of the mobile terminal 4 that has accessed, and if the mobile terminal 4 that registered the image data is different from the mobile terminal 4 that registers the moving image data, the server device 1 requests input of a password. When the password transmitted from the mobile terminal 4 for registering the moving image data matches the password received by the image data receiving unit 11, the registration of the moving image data is accepted. Thereby, unauthorized video registration by a third party can be prevented.

  The method of restricting the moving image registration is not limited to password input, and for example, GPS information may be used. Due to the restriction by the GPS information, it is possible to prevent moving image registration outside a predetermined place.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which one piece of moving image data is associated with one piece of image data has been described. However, a plurality of pieces of moving image data may be associated. In this case, when receiving the image data from the mobile terminal 4, the moving image distribution management unit 16 of the server device 1 secures a storage area for storing a plurality of moving image data for one image data, and stores storage location information. Generate management information. The moving image distribution management unit 16 can specify one image data and a plurality of moving image data based on the storage location information with reference to the management information.

  When moving image data is registered by the user, a period during which the moving image can be reproduced and a place (GPS information) where the moving image can be reproduced may be set. Further, when a plurality of moving image data is registered for one image data, a reproduction period and a reproduction time may be set for each moving image.

  Even if the deadline management unit is realized by executing the moving image registration / reproduction application in the portable terminal 4 in order to prevent the printed matter 3 from being purchased and only the data being left registered in the server device 1. Good. For example, after the image data is registered in the server device 1 and the storage location information is received, the image data and the storage location information are not transferred to the image printing device 2 within a certain period (for example, one month). When purchase has not been performed, the time limit management unit uses the display 44 of the portable terminal 4 to notify that there is an unpurchased printed matter 3 or erases image data registered in the server device 1. Or display an alarm.

  Further, when the number of image data and storage location information that have not been transferred to the image printing apparatus 2 reaches a certain number, that is, when the number of unpurchased printed materials 3 reaches a certain number, the time limit management unit The display 44 of the mobile terminal 4 may be used to notify that the unpurchased printed matter 3 has accumulated, or to display an alarm that image data registered in the server device 1 will be deleted. As a result, it is possible to prevent the printed matter 3 from being purchased and to prevent only the image data from being registered in the server device 1 and to efficiently use the storage area of the server device 1.

  The server device 1 determines a data storage period (for example, two years) when there is an access to playback of a moving image, and when the end of this storage period approaches, the end of the storage period is near to the mobile terminal 4 that has been accessed. You may notify that. The server device 1 may accept an extension of the storage period and purchase of moving image data from the mobile terminal 4 for a fee. The payment of the fee is performed by online payment using a credit card, for example. When the user selects the extension of the storage period, the server device 1 extends the storage period of the registration data. When the user selects to purchase moving image data, the server device 1 transmits the moving image data to the mobile terminal 4 and deletes the moving image data from the database 17. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the moving image data that is no longer reproduced from being registered in the server device 1 and to efficiently use the database 17 of the server device 1.

  The server device 1 confirms the terminal information of the mobile terminal 4, the application ID of the video registration / playback application installed in the mobile terminal 4, the access source IP address, etc., and registers from the same mobile terminal 4 within a certain period of time. The size and number of image data to be (uploaded) may be limited.

  The portable terminal 4 preferably copies the image data transmitted to the server device 1, holds the copied image data so that it cannot be edited, and transfers the image data to the image printing device 2. In addition, when image data that cannot be edited is transferred from the portable terminal 4, the image printing apparatus 2 performs control so that image editing using the editing function (adding a stamp, a frame, etc.) of the own apparatus cannot be performed. When image data is edited after being transmitted to the server device 1 and before being printed by the image printing device 2, the feature points between the edited image on the printed matter 3 and the image stored in the server device 1 are different. This is because they can be inconsistent.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the server device 1 notifies the portable terminal 4 of the storage location information for storing the moving image data has been described. However, the server device 1 includes a part of the storage location information along with the registration of the image data. May be notified to the portable terminal 4, and the portable terminal 4 may generate the storage location information using the key information. When the portable terminal 4 transfers image data to the image printing apparatus 2, it adds the branch number to the key information and generates storage location information. The portable terminal 4 generates a plurality of storage location information with different branch numbers according to the number of printed products 3 created by the image printing apparatus 2 and transmits the information to the image printing apparatus 2. As a result, the image printing apparatus 2 can output a plurality of printed materials 3 having the same image 31 but different two-dimensional codes 32 (storage location information).

  When registering the moving image, the server device 1 identifies the image data from the key information included in the storage location information when accessed from the mobile terminal 4, and registers the moving image data in association with the image data. The moving picture distribution management unit 16 creates management information indicating the correspondence between the storage location information created by the mobile terminal 4, the image data corresponding to the key information included in the storage location information, and the registered video data.

  The mobile terminal 4 may notify the server device 1 of the number of generated storage location information.

  You may enable it to change the moving image data registered into the server apparatus 1. FIG. Thereby, when the user registers wrong moving image data, it can be replaced with correct moving image data.

  At least a part of the moving image data distribution system described in the above-described embodiment may be configured by hardware or software. When configured by software, a program that realizes at least a part of the functions of the moving image data distribution system may be stored in a recording medium such as a flexible disk or a CD-ROM, and read and executed by a computer. The recording medium is not limited to a removable medium such as a magnetic disk or an optical disk, but may be a fixed recording medium such as a hard disk device or a memory.

  Further, a program that realizes at least a part of the functions of the moving image data distribution system may be distributed via a communication line (including wireless communication) such as the Internet. Further, the program may be distributed in a state where the program is encrypted, modulated or compressed, and stored in a recording medium via a wired line such as the Internet or a wireless line.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment as it is, and can be embodied by modifying the constituent elements without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage. In addition, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining a plurality of components disclosed in the embodiment. For example, some components may be deleted from all the components shown in the embodiment. Furthermore, constituent elements over different embodiments may be appropriately combined.
