Next, the photography amusement machine 1 performs a photographing process for each play received in the prior customer service process (step S20). Thereafter, the photographic game machine 1 performs an image editing process on the photographic image generated by the shooting process (step S30). Finally, the photography amusement machine 1 performs a subsequent customer service process for the photographic image after the image editing process (step S40). Hereinafter, each process is explained in full detail.

<3.1. Advance customer service>
First, the prior customer service process (step S10) will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the prior customer service process.

  The CPU 103 displays a demonstration screen representing a demonstration video of play on the reception display 31 (step S111). The CPU 103 continues displaying the demonstration screen until the user inserts coins for one play into the coin insertion slot 32 (step S112: No). At this time, the CPU 103 may cause the speaker 33 to output BGM or the like corresponding to the demonstration video.

  When one coin is inserted into the coin insertion slot 32, information indicating that a coin has been inserted is output to the computer apparatus 101 via the control board 102 by the coin control unit 112 (see FIG. 6). The CPU 103 increments the coin count by one for each piece of information from the coin control unit 112. When the coin count reaches one play, the CPU 103 determines that a coin for one play has been received (step S112: Yes), starts play, and performs the processing from step S113 onward.

  The CPU 103 causes the reception display 31 to display the shooting number selection screen shown in FIG. 9 and receives selection of the shooting number (step S113).

  As shown in FIG. 9, the number-of-photograph selection screen 210 displays characters “2”, “couple”, “3/4”, and “multiple” indicating the configuration of the player who is the user. The icons 211 to 214 are displayed. The icon 211 is used for selection when the player is a pair of two women, and the icon 212 is used for selection when the player is a pair of a man and a woman. The icon 213 is used for selection when there are three or four players, and the icon 214 is used for selection when there are five or more players. When any of the icons 211 to 214 is touched, the CPU 103 stores the number of photographers (player configuration) corresponding to the selected icon in the memory 105. In the present embodiment, the following description will be given on the assumption that the player is a pair of two women and the icon 211 (number of photographers “2”) is selected.

  After the number of photographers is selected in step S113 in FIG. 8, the CPU 103 displays the photographing course selection screen shown in FIG. 10 on the reception display 31 and accepts selection of the photographing course (step S114).

  As shown in FIG. 10, the shooting course selection screen 220 includes an icon 221 representing characters “up × 3 + overall body × 2” and an icon 222 representing characters “up × 5”. Is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, shooting is performed five times (hereinafter referred to as normal shooting) in a shooting process described later, and then shooting (hereinafter referred to as special shooting) for obtaining a photographic image including the whole body of the user is performed once. “Up × 3 + Top to Whole × 2” and “Up × 5” represent the angles and the number of times of shooting in each of the five shootings of normal shooting.

  That is, the icon 221 is associated with a shooting course (hereinafter referred to as shooting course A) that is shot three times at an “up” angle and is shot twice at a “whole body” angle, and the icon 222 is “up”. Is associated with a shooting course (hereinafter referred to as a shooting course B) that is shot five times at a certain angle. Note that in shooting at an “up” angle, the vertical angle and focal length of the camera 21 are controlled to a predetermined angle and focal length corresponding to “up”, and a part of the user's face and upper body is shot. Is done. In the case of photographing at an angle of “whole body”, the vertical angle and focal length of the camera 21 are controlled to a predetermined angle and focal length corresponding to “whole body”, and the whole body of the user is photographed. When shooting at an angle of “whole body from top”, an image as if taken from an obliquely upward direction of the user is obtained.

  Here, it is assumed that the user touches the icon 221 and selects the shooting course A. The CPU 103 stores angle information indicating an angle for each shooting corresponding to the selected shooting course A in the memory 105.

  After the shooting course is selected in step S114 of FIG. 8, the CPU 103 displays a name input screen (not shown) on the reception display 31, and receives the input of the user's name (step S115). Note that the input user name is used as a design of an edited image used for a graffiti process described later, or used as a part of a special composite image described later.

  Next, the CPU 103 displays a background image selection screen (not shown) on the reception display 31, and accepts selection of a background image to be combined with each photographic image obtained by five normal photographing operations (step S116). In the present embodiment, a plurality of background images are stored in the HDD 104 for each angle. The CPU 103 refers to angle information for each of the five normal shootings stored in the memory 105, and for each shooting, one background image is selected from the background images corresponding to the angles set for the shooting. Is stored in the memory 105. The information indicating the background image for each of the five shots is stored in the memory 105.

  When the selection of the background image by the user is completed, the CPU 103, when the number of photographers “2” or “couple” is selected in step S113 (step S117: Yes), the special shooting guidance screen (not shown). Is displayed on the reception display 31. Then, after displaying the guidance screen, the CPU 103 displays the special shooting type selection screen shown in FIG. 11 on the reception display 31, and allows the user to select the shooting type for special shooting (step S118).

  The special shooting selection screen 230 shown in FIG. 11 includes an icon 231 showing an image in which one model is included in each of two boxes, and two models are included in one box. An icon 232 showing an image is displayed. In addition, on the special shooting selection screen 230, a character image 231a represented as “photographed by one person” below the icon 231 and a character image represented as “photographed together” under the icon 232. 232a is displayed.

  Each image represented by the icon 231 and the icon 232 represents an image of a composite image (special composite image) using a photographed image obtained by special photography. The icon 231 corresponds to a shooting type (hereinafter referred to as a shooting type a) that generates two shot images in which two users are separately shown. The icon 232 corresponds to a shooting type (hereinafter referred to as a shooting type b) that generates one shot image in which two users are shown together.

  When the icon 231 is selected, two composite images are generated so that each user is contained in one box. When the icon 232 is selected, two users are in one box. A single composite image that is contained in the image is generated.

  In this embodiment, when “3 or 4 people” or “multiple people” is selected as the number of photographers, it is not a composite image in which one user is in one box, but all the images. A composite image is generated in such a manner that the user is in a single box. Therefore, in this case, the shooting type cannot be selected.

  The CPU 103 stores information indicating the shooting type corresponding to the selected icon in the memory 105. In the present embodiment, the following description will be made assuming that the icon 231, that is, “shooting type a” is selected by the user.

  When the number of photographers selected in step S113 in FIG. 8 is neither “two” nor “couple” (step S117: No), or after the photographing type of special photographing is selected in step S118, the CPU 103 Determines whether or not the shooting booth 2 is empty (step S119). When the photography booth 2 is not empty (step S119: No), the CPU 103 displays a standby screen (not shown) for prompting the user to wait on the reception display 31 (step S120). When the photography booth 2 is empty (step S119: Yes), the CPU 103 displays a guidance screen (not shown) for guiding the movement to the photography booth 2 on the reception display 31 (step S121). At this time, the CPU 103 may cause the speaker 33 to output a voice for guiding the user to the photographing booth 2 together with the display of the guidance screen.

<3.2. Shooting process>
Next, the photographing process (step S20) will be described. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an operation flow of the photographing process.

  The CPU 103 displays a shooting start screen (not shown) for guiding the start of shooting on the front display 22 in the shooting booth 2 (step S211). A shooting start button is displayed on the shooting start screen, and subsequent processing is started when the user touches the shooting start button.

  The CPU 103 controls the shooting direction and focal length of the camera 21 based on each angle information of the normal shooting stored in the memory 105, and performs five normal shootings (step S212). Five photographic images (hereinafter referred to as “normally captured images”) obtained by five normal capturing operations are stored in the memory 105 in association with the number of capturing operations.

  After the normal shooting for five times, the CPU 103 displays a guidance for notifying the user that the special shooting is to be performed, and displays a shooting guidance screen according to the shooting type of the special shooting selected in step S118. Then, the special shooting is performed once by controlling the shooting direction and focal length of the camera 21 so as to obtain a predetermined angle corresponding to the number of shots selected in step S113 (step S213).

  When the number of photographers selected in step S113 is “two people”, that is, a pair of two women, and the photographing type selected in step S118 is “photographing type a”, the CPU 103 shows, for example, FIG. A shooting guide screen 310 is displayed on the front display 22. On the photographing guide screen 310, a display area 311 where live video is displayed and a line image 312 which divides the display area 311 into two left and right are displayed. In the left and right display areas 311A and 311B divided by the line image 312, video portions corresponding to the display areas 311A and 311B, respectively, of the live video captured by the camera 21 in the shooting booth 2 are displayed. The Each user moves and poses so that the whole body fits in the display areas 311A and 311B. It should be noted that even if the user displays an image representing the inside of the box three-dimensionally in the display areas 311A and 311B of the shooting guide screen 310 so that the user can easily imagine the special composite image obtained by the special shooting. Good. By configuring in this way, each user can be given a feeling of shooting in a pseudo-box, so that each user can adjust the shooting position or pose. It becomes easy to take.

  After displaying the photographing guide screen 310, the CPU 103 controls the photographing direction and focal length of the camera 21 so that the angle (front whole body angle) is obtained so that a photographed image obtained by capturing the whole body of the user from the front is obtained. Special shooting. Then, the CPU 103 trims images of predetermined areas corresponding to the display areas 311A and 311B in the captured image, and for each user, a photographic image including the whole body of the user (hereinafter referred to as special shooting). Image). Further, the CPU 103 stores identification information for distinguishing the generated two special photographed images in the memory 105 in association with each other. This identification information is, for example, information indicating whether the special captured image is obtained by trimming an area corresponding to the display area 311A or 311B in the original captured image. Hereinafter, the identification information of the special captured image corresponding to the display area 311A is L, and the identification information of the special captured image corresponding to the display area 311B is R.

  In the case where the shooting type selected in step S118 is “shooting type a” and the number of shots selected in step S113 is “couple”, the shooting guidance is provided as in the case where the number of shots is “2”. A screen 310 is displayed, and special shooting is performed at an angle of the entire front, and two special shooting images are generated.

  When the number of photographers selected in step S <b> 113 is “2 people” or “couple” and the shooting type selected in step S <b> 118 is “shooting type b”, the CPU 103 displays the display area 311 using the line image 312. An unseparated shooting guide screen (not shown) is displayed on the front display 22, and the shooting direction and focal length of the camera 21 are controlled so that the angle of the whole front face is controlled, and special shooting is performed. In this case, one special photographed image is generated. Even in this case, an image representing the inside of the box in a three-dimensional manner is displayed in the display area 311 of the shooting guide screen 310 so that the user can easily imagine the special composite image obtained by the special shooting. Also good.

  When the number of photographers selected in step S113 is “3.4 people” or “multiple people”, the CPU 103 displays a photographing guide screen (not shown) in which the display area 311 is not divided by the line image 312 on the front display. 22 is displayed. Then, when the number of photographers is “3.4 people”, special photographing is performed at an angle of the whole front, and when the number of photographers is “multiple”, special photographing is performed at an angle of the whole body from above. In this case, one special photographed image is generated.

  When the number of photographers is “multiple people”, five or more people will shoot in the display area 311, but if they are lined up side by side, they will protrude outside the display area 311. In this case, the standing position is adjusted so that the faces of the respective users are arranged vertically in the display area 311. In the present embodiment, correction processing is performed on an image shot at an angle of “front whole body” to make the subject's leg look longer, and an image shot at an angle of “whole body from above” is applied. This correction process is not performed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the number of photographers is “multiple”, some users are photographed even if the faces of each user are lined up and down in the display area 311 by photographing from the angle of “whole body”. The correction to make the legs longer on the face is prevented.

  Returning to FIG. 12, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the editing booth 4 is free after the special shooting in step S213 (step S214). When the editing booth 4 is not empty (step S214: No), the CPU 103 displays a standby screen (not shown) for prompting the user to wait on the front display 22 (step S215). When the editing booth 4 is vacant (step S214: Yes), the CPU 103 causes the front display 22 to display a guidance screen (not shown) for guiding the movement to the editing booth 4 (step S216). Note that the CPU 103 may cause the speaker 450 to output sound for guiding the user to the editing booth 4 together with the display of the guidance screen.

  <2.3. Image editing process>

  Next, the image editing process (step S30) will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the image editing process.

  The CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 (see FIG. 5) to display a standby screen (not shown) that displays a demonstration video or the like related to image editing (step S311).

  When a user who has moved from the shooting booth 2 to the editing booth 4 touches the standby screen with the touch pen 412 (see FIG. 5), the editing display 411 reflects the face of the subject in the photographic image, the size of the eyes, and the brightness. The selection is accepted (step S312).

  The selection of the face image is an operation for selecting the type of image processing to be performed on the entire face of the subject. In this example, for example, as the type of face reflection, “Shooting 1” is performed so that the subject's face becomes a natural image, and “Image 1” is performed so that the subject's face becomes a clear image. "Photo 2" is prepared. In the present embodiment, the editing display 411 is subjected to image processing corresponding to each of “image 1” and “image 2” for one captured image (up-captured image) captured at an angle of “up” in normal shooting. Two applied images are displayed. Then, by causing the user to select one of the image images, the type of the face image corresponding to the selected image image is specified as the type of image processing to be performed on the entire face of the subject. The up-captured image has a larger proportion of the subject's face than the captured image taken at the angle “from the top to the whole body”, so the image image shows the difference in image processing between the shot 1 and the shot 2 to the user. be able to.

  It should be noted that, in selecting the shot of the face, a plurality of up shot images obtained by normal shooting are displayed, and image processing of “shot 1” and “shot 2” is performed based on the up shot image selected by the user. It is also possible to display the applied image and accept selection of the image. That is, the up-captured image used for the image image may be switched to one of a plurality of up-captured images obtained by normal shooting in accordance with a user operation. With this configuration, among up-captured images obtained by normal shooting, an up-captured image that cannot properly perform image processing on the subject's face, such as a face facing sideways, is satisfied by the user. Even when a photographed up-captured image is included, the user can select a shot of the face using the up-captured image desired by the user.

  The selection of the eye size is an operation for selecting the type of image processing for adjusting the eye size of the subject. For example, “size 1 to 3” indicating the size of the eye in three stages. The user is allowed to select one of the types. The selection of brightness is an operation for selecting the type of image processing for adjusting the skin color of the subject. For example, among the types of “brightness 1 to 5” indicating the brightness of the skin in five levels, Let the user select one of the types. The CPU 103 stores, in the memory 105, the selected face image, eye size, and brightness.

  Next, the CPU 103 performs image processing corresponding to each of the face image, the eye size, and the brightness type selected in step S <b> 312, five normal captured images obtained by normal shooting, and special images. This is performed for each subject in the two special photographed images obtained by photographing. Then, the CPU 103 trims the five normal captured images to a predetermined image size so that the ratio between the vertical and horizontal lengths is a predetermined ratio. As a result, five normal photograph images and two special photograph images are generated (step S313). The five normal photograph images are stored in the memory 105 in association with the number of times of photographing, and the two special photograph images are stored in the memory 105 in association with identification information similar to the original special photograph image. Is done.

  Next, the CPU 103 displays a composite image selection screen on the editing display 411, accepts selection of a composite image to be combined with the special photo image generated in step S313, and selects the selected composite image and special photo. The image is stored in the memory 105 in association with the image (step S314).

  FIG. 15A is a schematic diagram illustrating a composition image selection screen displayed when the number of photographers selected in step S113 is “2” and “shooting type a” is selected in step S118.

  A composite image selection screen 410 shown in FIG. 15A includes a reduced image 4100 (sample composite image) in which a model image of one female model is combined with each of 12 patterns of composite images that can be combined with a special photographic image. 4101-4112) are displayed. On the left and right sides of the reduced image 4100, a display area 412A for displaying, for each user, a composite image obtained by combining the special photograph image of the user with the composite image corresponding to the reduced image selected by the user. 412B is provided. Below the display areas 412A and 412B, icons 413A and 413B with characters “Replace photo” are displayed. Above the display areas 412A and 412B, the name of the user input in step S115 is displayed. Display areas 414A and 414B are provided, and icons 415A and 415B in which characters “change name” are displayed beside the display areas 414A and 414B.

  In the example of FIG. 15A, a composite image in which a special photo image associated with the identification information L is combined with a composite image corresponding to the reduced image 4103 is displayed in the display region 412A, and in the display region 412B, A special composite image is displayed in which a special photo image associated with the identification information R is combined with the composite image corresponding to the reduced image 4106.

  When the user touches the icon 413A or 413B, the CPU 103 displays a special composite image obtained by exchanging the special photo images of the composite images displayed in the display areas 412A and 412B. Further, when the icon 415A or 415B is touched by the user, the CPU 103 displays the names displayed in the display areas 414A and 414B interchangeably.

  Here, the special composite image will be specifically described. FIG. 15B is a schematic diagram illustrating a layer structure of a special composite image. As shown in FIG. 15B, the special composite image is composed of three layers L1 to L3. In the layer L2, a special photographic image to be combined, that is, a person image is arranged. In the layer L3, a composition image (hereinafter referred to as a special foreground image) serving as a foreground of the special photographic image is arranged. In the layer L1, a composition image (hereinafter referred to as a special background image) serving as a background of the special photographic image is arranged.

  The composition image in the present embodiment is an image in which a rectangular parallelepiped box is represented by a special foreground image and a special background image. For example, in the case of a compositing image corresponding to the reduced image 4106 in FIG. 15A, the special foreground image P1 including the top surface PU, the front surface PF, and the left side surface PS1 shown in FIG. Further, in the layer L1, a special background image P2 including a back surface PR and a bottom surface PB inside the box shown in FIG. 15D is arranged. In the layer L2, a person image P3 including a subject arranged inside the box shown in FIG. 15E is arranged. The front PF of the box is a surface located on the front side of the subject when the special photographic image is synthesized, and the rear surface PR of the box is a surface located on the rear side of the subject. Hereinafter, specific configuration examples of the special foreground image P1, the special background image P2, and the person image P3 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The special foreground image P1 shown in FIG. 15C is an image in which the top surface UP, the front surface PF, and the left side surface PS1 of the box are represented. In the special foreground image P1, the image portion P11 including the top surface PU, right side surface (not shown) of the box, and the upper end, lower end, and right end of the front PF is given a non-transparent color representing a material such as paper. Yes. In addition, the image portion P12 other than the image portion P11, that is, the region including the portion other than the upper end, the lower end, and the right end on the front PF of the box and the left side PS1 of the box has a transparent color representing a material such as a transparent film. It is attached. In the special foreground image P1, an embossing process is performed in the vicinity of the boundary between the image part P12 and the image part P11, and an image (not shown) representing the shadow of the image part P12 is arranged. The steps are expressed. The image portion P11 is adjusted to a color representing a change in color due to light reflection, and the image portion P12 is adjusted to a color representing the quality and gloss of the transparent film. Further, a character image corresponding to the name of the user input in step S115 is arranged in a partial area P111 in the image portion P11.

  As illustrated in FIG. 15D, the special background image P2 is an image representing the back surface PR and the bottom surface PB inside the box, and includes a plurality of images P21 that decorate the back surface PR. The plurality of images P21 are designed with items having a sense of unity according to the theme set in the box. The special background image P2 includes an image P23 that represents the shadow of the item shown in the image P21, and an image P24 that represents the shadow of the upper surface PU and right side (not shown) of the box. Further, in the special background image P2, the color of the region corresponding to the vicinity of the right side surface inside the box is adjusted so that it darkens from the front to the back of the box. In the example of the special background image P2, the bottom surface PB inside the box is shown. However, depending on the design of the lower end portion of the front PF of the box in the special foreground image P1, the foot of the subject overlaps with this portion. In this case, the bottom surface PB inside the box is not shown.

  As shown in FIG. 15E, the person image P3 includes a subject image P31 obtained by extracting a subject portion in the special photo image, and an image P32 representing the shadow of the subject in the special photo image.

  By synthesizing the layers L1 to L3, a special synthesized image SP1 shown in FIG. 15F is generated. As shown in FIG. 15F, in the special composite image SP1, a container image imitating a box is three-dimensionally displayed on substantially the entire image. Specifically, since the special foreground image P1 and the special background image P2 represent the top surface, front surface, and bottom surface inside the box of the special foreground image P1, the special composite image SP1 looks like the box is viewed from diagonally upward. The image has a three-dimensional effect. In addition, the special composite image SP1 is provided with a color representing the material of the box by the special foreground image P1, and a step between different materials and a shadow between the materials are represented. Is expressed in three dimensions. Further, the special composite image SP1 shows the shadows of the top and right sides of the box and the shadows of the items arranged on the back side inside the box by the special background image P2, and the vicinity of the left side and right side of the box. Since the color is adjusted so that it becomes darker toward the back of the box, the image makes the user feel the depth inside the box. Therefore, the special composite image SP1 has a finish that expresses not only the appearance of the box but also the inside of the box. Further, the special background image P2 and the person image P3 represent the items arranged on the back of the box and the shadow of the subject. Therefore, the special composite image SP1 has a more playable finish because the stereoscopic effect inside the box is more emphasized, and the user can give an impression that the user is packaged in the box.

  As described above, each composition image corresponding to the reduced image 4100 illustrated in FIG. 15A is an image simulating a rectangular parallelepiped box that has a different design. As described above, the composition image corresponding to the reduced image 4106 shows the top and front outlines of the box and the bottom and left sides of the inside of the box. For example, the composition corresponding to the reduced image 4103 is displayed. The image for use represents the top and front outlines of the box and the bottom and left and right side faces of the box, and the composition image corresponding to the reduced image 4101 represents the top and front outlines of the box. . That is, any of the images for synthesis is an image in which at least the front and top outlines of the box are represented and the appearance of the box is three-dimensionally represented.

  The composite image selection screen 410 in FIG. 15A illustrates the case where the shooting type of special shooting is “shooting type a”, but when “shooting type b” is selected, Similarly, a reduced image of a sample combined image in which model images of two female models are combined is displayed on each of a plurality of combining images simulating a box. That is, in this case, a reduced image of the sample composite image of the image in which the two female models are in one box is displayed on the composite image selection screen. In this case, the two users are made to select a common reduced image from the plurality of displayed reduced images, and the two users join the combined image corresponding to the selected reduced image together. A special composite image obtained by combining the photographed special photograph image is displayed. FIG. 16A is a schematic diagram illustrating a special composite image generated when the number of photographers is “2 people” and “shooting type b”. As shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 16A, the special composite images SP21 and SP22 are the subject in the special photographic image in which the entire images of the two users are shown, and the composite images P411 and P412 simulating a box. The subject images P421 and P422 from which the portions are extracted are combined and configured.

  If “couple” is selected as the number of photographers in step S113 and “shooting type a” is selected in step S118, a plurality of compositing images for women (on the compositing image selection screen) are displayed. Hereinafter, a composite image for women), a reduced image of a sample composite image in which a model image of one woman is combined, a plurality of composite images for men (hereinafter, a composite image for men), and one person And a reduced image of the sample combined image obtained by combining the male model images.

  The female composite image and the male composite image are images imitating a box, as in the case where the number of photographers is “two people”, but the female composite image and the male composite image are, for example, The color of the material of the box and the color representing the back inside the box may be different from each other, or the colors of the items arranged on the back of the box may be different from each other. In addition, the items arranged on the inner back of the box in the composite image for women and the composite image for men may have a common design or may have different designs.

  Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 16B, in the female composite image P51 and the male composite image P52, hatched areas P511 and P521 are areas where subject images are arranged, respectively, and are made of transparent film material. A transparent color is attached, and has a heart-shaped left half shape and right half shape. With this configuration, when the female composite image P51 and the male composite image P52 are arranged adjacent to each other, a heart shape is formed by the two regions P511 and P521, thereby further enhancing playability. Can be increased. That is, in the image for female composition and the image for male composition, the area where the subject image is arranged is determined by these two areas when the image for female composition and the image for male composition are arranged adjacent to each other. You may have the shape which becomes left-right symmetric so that one predetermined shape may be formed.

  In addition, when “couple” is selected as the number of photographers in step S113 and “photographing type b” is selected in step S118, a design corresponding to the photographing type b is applied to the image selection screen for synthesis. A reduced image of a sample combined image obtained by combining each of a plurality of images for synthesis imitating a box and a model image in which a female model and a male model are displayed together is displayed. Then, on the composition image selection screen, selection of a composition image common to women and men is accepted. That is, in this case, since a special composite image in which a woman and a man are together in one box is generated, one image for composition common to the woman and the man is selected.

  If “3.4 people” or “multiple people” is selected as the number of photographers in step S113, the number of photographers “3.4 people” or “multiple people” is displayed on the composite image selection screen. Displays a reduced image of a sample composite image in which each of a plurality of composite images simulating a box with a corresponding design and a model image in which three or more female models are shown together is displayed. The selection of a common compositing image is accepted. That is, in this case, since a special composite image in which all users are in one box is generated, one composite image common to all users is selected.

  After step S314 in FIG. 14, the CPU 103 displays an editing screen (not shown) for each user on the editing display 411, and performs a graffiti operation (editing operation) for five normal photo images for each user. ) Is received (step S315). Specifically, on one editing screen, for each of the five normal photo images, a combined image obtained by combining the background image selected for the normal photo image is displayed in a reduced size. The user selects a composite image to be edited from the five composite images displayed in a reduced size, and displays the composite image in the editing area on the editing screen. Then, the user selects a desired edit image from the prepared edit images such as a stamp image and a frame image, and arranges the edit image at a desired position on the composite image displayed in the edit area. The graffiti (editing) is performed on the normal photographic image.

  When the graffiti process ends, the CPU 103 stores the edited image selected for each of the five normal photo images for each user in the memory 105 in association with the normal photo image.

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 to display a sheet layout selection screen (not shown) for selecting the sheet layout of the sheet image to be printed on the sticker sheet, and accepts selection of the sheet layout for each user. (Step S316).

  In this embodiment, the sheet layout includes a normal photo image area in which five normal photo images after editing processing are arranged, a special composite image area in which one special composite image is arranged, and a design image area. Have. The design area is an area other than the normal photographic image area and the special composite image area, and a design image for decorating the sheet image is arranged. A sheet layout selection screen (not shown) displays a plurality of types of sheet layouts in which the arrangement of the normal photo image area and the special composite image area are different. The user selects a desired sheet layout from a plurality of sheet layouts.

  In step S316, the CPU 103 generates a sheet image to be printed on the sticker sheet based on the sheet layout selected for each user (step S317). Specifically, based on the sheet layout selected for each user, the CPU 103 sets the normal photo image generated in step S313 and the background selected for each normal photo image in each normal photo image area in the sheet layout. A normal composite image obtained by combining the image and the edited image is arranged. The CPU 103 then synthesizes the special photo image of the user generated in step S313 and the composite image of the user selected in step S314 in the special composite image area in the sheet layout. Place. After arranging the normal composite image and the special composite image, the CPU 103 generates a sheet image by adjusting the resolution and color for printing.

  FIG. 17 shows a sheet image generated based on the sheet layout selected by one user when “2” is selected as the number of photographers in step S113 and “shooting type a” is selected in step S118. It is a schematic diagram which shows an example. As shown in FIG. 17, in the sheet image SH, five normal composite images T11 to T15, one special composite image T2, and design images T31 and T32 are arranged.

  In the sheet layout, a design image common to all the sheet layouts may be arranged in the design image area, or a design image having a different design (decoration) may be arranged according to the sheet layout. It may be. For some sheet layouts, design images having different colors may be arranged according to the composition image selected in step S314. In this case, when “2” or “couple” is selected as the number of photographers in step S113 and “shooting type a” is selected in step S118, the CPU 103 displays the sheet layout selection screen in step S314. A sheet layout in which a design image corresponding to the composition image selected for each user is arranged is displayed. In this manner, by arranging the design images having the color according to the image for synthesis, it is possible to achieve a high design finish with a sense of unity as a whole sheet image.

  After step S317 in FIG. 14, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the subsequent customer service section 5 is vacant (step S318). When the subsequent customer service section 5 is not available (step S318: No), the CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 to display a standby screen (not shown) that prompts the user to wait (step S319). When the subsequent customer service section 5 is empty (step S318: Yes), the CPU 103 transmits the sheet image generated in step S317 to the printer 650, and starts printing the sheet image on the sticker sheet (step S320). Further, the CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 to display a guidance screen (not shown) for guiding the user to the post-service section 5 (step S321). The CPU 103 may cause the speaker 413 to output a voice for guiding the user to the post-service section 5 together with the display of the guidance screen.

<2.4. Subsequent customer service>
Next, the subsequent customer service process (step S40) will be described. FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the subsequent customer service process.

  The CPU 103 displays a start screen on the reception display 51. When the user who has moved from the editing booth 4 touches the start screen with a finger, the image transmission process is started (step S411). Further, the CPU 103 outputs sound necessary for operation to the speaker 53.

  When the image transmission process is started, the CPU 103 displays an image selection screen (not shown) for selecting an image to be transmitted to the mobile terminal CL of the user on the reception display 51 for each user. Thereafter, in order to send a notification mail describing the URL for acquiring the transmission target image selected by the user to the user, an input screen (not shown) for prompting the user to input an email address is displayed on the reception display 51 ( (See FIG. 5).

  Specifically, the CPU 103 selects the five normal photo images generated in step S313, the background image for each normal photo image selected in step S116, and the normal photo image selected in step S315. Special composite image obtained by combining the five normal composite photo images combined with the edited image, the special photo image for each user generated in step S313, and the composite image for each user selected in step S314. Are displayed on the image selection screen. Then, after accepting selection of an image for transmission by the first user, the CPU 103 accepts input of the user's mail address. After accepting the input of the email address of the first user, the CPU 103 displays an image selection screen and accepts the selection of the image to be transmitted by the second user, and then the email address of the second user. Accepts input.

  When the email address of each user is input, the CPU 103 sends the email address for each user, information on the transmission target image selected for each user, five normal photo images, and each normal photo image. The image data of the normal composite photograph image obtained by combining the selected background image and edit image is transmitted to the server SV. Further, the CPU 103 transmits image data of a special composite image obtained by combining the special photograph image for each user generated in step S313 and the image for combination selected in step S314 to the server SV.

  The server SV acquires image data of each user's transmission target image from among the image data transmitted from the photography game machine 1 with the mail address of each user transmitted from the photography game machine 1 as a destination. A notification mail in which a URL for this is described is transmitted.

  Each user can acquire the selected transmission target image by receiving the notification mail from the server SV at each mobile terminal CL and accessing the URL described in the notification mail. Each user can acquire all images not selected on the image selection screen via the server SV by performing predetermined member registration.

  The process of step S411 is executed during the waiting time until the sheet image printing process in step S320 of FIG. 14 ends. When printing of the sheet image is completed in step S320, the CPU 103 discharges the sticker paper (photo sticker) on which the sheet image is printed from the photo sticker discharge port 52 (step S412). Up to here is a series of play in one use.

  In the above-described embodiment, the special composite image is an image arranged so that a container image imitating a box is three-dimensionally displayed on almost the entire special composite image, and a subject can be visually recognized inside the box. . That is, the special composite image in the embodiment described above arranges a container image imitating a container in a partial region of the composite image, arranges the subject image so that the subject can be visually recognized inside the container, and also displays the container image. This is different from the case where an image such as another subject image is arranged in a region other than. Therefore, in the above-described embodiment, it is possible to provide a user with a special composite image having a stereoscopic effect as a whole image. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the image for synthesis imitating the box to be synthesized with the special synthesized image represents the outer shape of the front and top surfaces of the box, so that the entire box is represented in three dimensions, and the special synthesized image Can be shown three-dimensionally. Furthermore, since the image for composition expresses the shadow between the materials of the box and expresses the thickness of the material, the stereoscopic effect of the box is more emphasized. In addition, since the special composition image is provided with a color representing the material and texture of the box, the user can image the material of the box. Further, since the shadows of the upper surface and the side surface inside the box are represented in the special composition image, the stereoscopic effect inside the box is expressed, and the special composition image can be seen more three-dimensionally. Furthermore, since the special composite image shows the back item inside the box and the shadow of the subject, the finish makes the user feel the depth inside the box. As a result, an image as if the user is packaged in the box can be given to the user, and playability can be improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, when “couple” is selected as the number of photographers and “shooting type a” is selected as the shooting type, the combined image for women and the combined image for men whose box designs correspond to each other. Since the image for use is prepared, a special composite image with high designability and playability can be provided to the user.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  (1) In the above-described embodiment, the composition image is an image imitating a box in which at least the front and top outlines of the box are represented. For example, as illustrated in FIG. It may be an image simulating a rectangular parallelepiped box, and may be an image showing the outer shape of the front PF and the right side PS2, the upper surface PU inside the box, the left side PS1, and the bottom PB. In FIG. 19A, it is assumed that the hatched area of the front PF including at least the area where the subject image is arranged is given a transparent color. In FIG. 19A, the upper end, the right end, and the lower end of the front PF of the box may be represented by a non-transparent color. In this case, as shown in FIG. 19B, the upper surface PU and the bottom surface PB inside the box are not represented, but the outer shapes of the front surface PF and the right side surface PS2 of the box, that is, the outer shapes of at least a plurality of surfaces of the box are represented. .

  (2) In the above-described embodiment, an example of the image for synthesis imitating a rectangular parallelepiped box has been shown, but the container and its shape shown in the image for synthesis are not limited to this. For example, the image for synthesis may be an image imitating a bottle or an image imitating a container such as a box having a shape such as a cylinder or a polygonal column. In short, the composition image may be an image in which the container is three-dimensionally represented. More specifically, the image for synthesis may be an image imitating a container, and may be an image representing at least the outer shapes of a plurality of surfaces of the container.

  (3) In the above-described embodiment, the example has been described in which the post-service unit 5 receives the selection of the transmission image and the input of the mail address. However, the editing display 411 in the editing booth 4 selects the transmission image and the mail address. An input may be accepted.
