[First embodiment]
FIG. 1 is an illustrative view showing a configuration of an information processing system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. With reference to FIG. 1, an information processing system 10 is installed in a photo studio that provides services such as photo photography and photo sales, and includes a control device 12. As an example, the control device 12 is a general-purpose computer including a first monitor (first display device) 14 that functions as a staff-side monitor, a keyboard 16, and a mouse 18. However, in the first embodiment, a so-called tablet computer is used for ease of operation. In the case of a tablet computer, the first monitor 14 is configured as a touch screen display. The first monitor 14 is a liquid crystal display, an EL display, or the like. Since the first monitor 14 is a staff monitor, the display screen is not directed to the customer side.

  Further, a second monitor (second display device) 20 that functions as a customer-side monitor is connected to the control device 12 by a communication cable 22 such as RS232C (trade name). The second monitor 20 has a display screen directed to the customer side. The second monitor 20 is a liquid crystal display, an EL display, or the like. The connection unit between the control device 12 and the second monitor 20 may be a wired connection unit such as the communication cable 22 described above, or a wireless connection unit such as a wireless LAN using Wi-Fi or near field communication. It may be.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the electrical configuration of the control device 12. The control device 12 includes a CPU 24 that performs overall control. The CPU 24 constitutes a computer and is connected to an input device 28 including a keyboard 16 and a mouse 18, a RAM 30, and an image database 32 through a bus 26. The RAM 30 is used as a work area and a buffer area for the CPU 24. Although not shown in the drawing, as other storage devices, a ROM that stores a startup program of the control device 12 and an operating system (OS) of the control device 12 and a hard disk drive (HDD) that stores application programs are also provided.

  The image database 32 is an HDD as an example, and is a storage device for storing all photographed image (photograph) data of the photo studio. The CPU 24 can access the image database 32 through the bus 26 and a LAN (not shown). When information processing (image data processing) such as screen display processing (see FIG. 10) is executed, image data necessary for processing such as image data of the corresponding customer is stored in the RAM 30 or the like from the image database 32 described above. .

  In the first embodiment, the image database 32 is described as an HDD. This is, for example, a volatile memory such as a DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory), a flash ROM, and an EEPROM (registered trademark). ), And the like.

  The display control circuit 34 displays an image on the first monitor 14 based on, for example, photographed image data read from the RAM 30 under the control of the CPU 24. For example, the CPU 24 reads image generation data 304 b and captured image data 304 c described later from the RAM 30, and the image generation data 304 b and captured image data 304 c are given to the display control circuit 34. In the display control circuit 34, display data is generated on a VRAM (not shown) using the image generation data 304b and the captured image data 304c, and is supplied to the first monitor 14. In this way, in the control device 12, the screen including the captured image (in this first embodiment, the operation screen 100) is displayed on the first monitor 14.

  The display control circuit 36 receives captured image data from the control device 12 through the communication cable 22 described above, and displays an image on the second monitor 20 based on the captured image data. For example, the CPU 24 reads the image generation data 304 b and the captured image data 304 c from the RAM 30, and the image generation data 304 b and the captured image data 304 c are given to the display control circuit 36. The display control circuit 36 generates display data on a VRAM (not shown) in accordance with the image generation data 304 b and the photographed image data 304 c and supplies it to the second monitor 20. In this way, in the control device 12, the screen including the captured image (in this first embodiment, the display screen 200) is displayed on the second monitor 20.

  However, the captured image data is photographic image (still image) data in the first embodiment, but may be moving image data.

  The first monitor 14 is a display device having a touch panel function on a display screen. The touch panel control circuit 38 applies a necessary voltage to the touch panel, detects a touch operation (touch input) within the touch effective range of the touch panel, and sends touch coordinate data indicating the position of the touch input to the CPU 24. Output.

  However, as an example of the touch panel, a capacitance method is used, but any other method such as an electromagnetic induction method, a resistance film method, and an infrared method can be used.

  In the first embodiment, the first monitor 14 is a touch screen display and operates according to an operator's touch operation. However, the first monitor 14 may not be a touch screen display. In that case, the operator may operate using the input device 28 (FIG. 2) such as the keyboard 16 and the mouse 18 as shown in FIG.

  As described above, such an information processing system is installed in a photo studio that provides services such as photography and sales of photos. In such a photo studio, a part (n images less than N images) of all the captured images (N in total) is selected, and the selected n imaged images are selected. A photographed image used for creating the album is further selected. However, the photographed image to be used is selected by the customer according to the design (type) of the album and the type of photo frame selected in advance.

  As an example, a case of creating a paper album (photo book) will be described, but the product to be created is not necessarily limited to this. As another example, the present invention can also be applied to the case of creating a product such as an electronic photobook, a postcard (New Year's card), a can badge, a key holder, and a strap.

  Further, when the total number of captured images is small, a captured image used for creating an album may be selected from N captured images without narrowing down to n captured images.

  In the following, the case of selecting a photographed image to be used for creating an album will be described. However, as described above, as described above, photographed images are selected from N to n and created. The type of album to be selected and one or more types of photo frames are selected (determined) by the customer.

The label image 104b displays a file name (here, A1, A3, A11, B2, B5) assigned to the image data (image file) of the photographed image corresponding to the thumbnail 104a displayed above the label image 104b. It is an image. The label image 104c is an image for displaying file names (F1, F2, and F3 in this case) assigned to image data of a plurality of types of photo frames 106 selected by the customer.

  Although detailed description is omitted, when the initial operation screen 100 is displayed, among the n (or N) photographed images, 1 to 1 are arranged in the order of file names or in order of the photographing time. Thumbnail 104a corresponding to the fifth photographed image is pasted (displayed) on the photo selection frame 104.

  In addition, the selected photographed images 106a and 106b are pasted on the photo frame 106. Label images 108 for displaying file names (A1 and A3 in this case) attached to the respective image data are displayed in front of the captured images 106a and 106b. As described above, the label image 108 is usually displayed when there are six or more captured images. When the thumbnail 104 a is scrolled, the thumbnail 104 a of the captured image pasted on the photo frame 106 is displayed in the photo selection frame 104. This is because it may not be displayed on the screen.

  Although detailed description is omitted, when the initial operation screen 100 is displayed, the captured images corresponding to the thumbnails 104a displayed on the photo selection frame 104 are arranged in the order of file names or in ascending order of the shooting time. Affixed to the photo frame 106.

  Further, although it cannot be expressed in the drawing, the photo selection frame 104 and the photo frame 106 are displayed highlighted on the operation screen 100. The photo selection frame 104 including the photo frame 106 is a portion (image) corresponding to a display screen 200 described later, and is for notifying the operator of this. Specifically, in the first embodiment, the outer frame of the photo selection frame 104 is displayed blinking.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the operation frame 102 has a region 1020 and a region 1022 other than the region 1020. As can be seen from FIGS. 3 to 7, the region 1020 is a rectangular region for providing (displaying) the photo selection frame 104, the photo frame 106, and the label image 108. A region 1022 displays a character string indicating that a photograph is selected together with a customer at the upper end portion of the operation frame 102, and an operation button or icon (in the first embodiment, in the right end portion of the operation frame 102). This is an L-shaped area in which icons 102a and 102b) are provided (displayed).

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the photo selection frame 104, a plurality (here, five) for displaying each thumbnail 104a of a plurality (here, five) of photos (photographed images) is displayed at the upper end portion thereof. ) Area 1040 and an area 1042 for displaying a file name (label image 104b) attached to the image data of the photographed image corresponding to the thumbnail 104a. In the photo selection frame 104, a plurality (three in this case) of label images 104c describing the file names attached to the image data of the photo frames 106 (three in this case) are displayed at the center of the lower end. Here, three) regions 1044 are provided.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the photo frame 106 is provided with two regions 1060 and 1062 having different sizes arranged side by side. The region 1060 and the region 1062 are both provided for pasting image data of a captured image. The background of the photo frame 106 is given a single color or pattern, an image of a landscape created or photographed in advance, or a predetermined character is displayed. For example, the predetermined character includes a character that is not protected by copyright and a character that is protected by copyright. Also, the photo frame 106 shown in FIG. 6 is an example, and a plurality of types of photo frames 106 are prepared in advance, which have different numbers, positions, and sizes of regions to which photos are pasted, and have different backgrounds. However, the captured image may be pasted on the entire photo frame 106. A different file name is assigned to the image data of each photo frame 106.

  In addition, as described above, the display screen 200 shown in FIG. 7 is a person who views and selects a photograph frame and a photographed image when selecting a photographed image and creating an album at a photograph studio. This is a screen presented to (customer).

  As shown in FIG. 7, the display screen 200 includes a photo selection frame 202 and a photo frame 204. However, the photo selection frame 202 is the same as the photo selection frame 104 shown in FIG. 5, and the photo frame 204 is the same as the photo frame 106 shown in FIG.

  Also on the display screen 200 shown in FIG. 7, similar to the operation screen 100, a plurality of captured image thumbnails 202 a are displayed, corresponding to each thumbnail 202 a, and below the captured image corresponding to the thumbnail 202 a. A label image 202b that displays the file name attached to the image data is displayed. A photo frame 204 and a label image 202c are displayed below the label image 202b. The photographed images 204 a and 204 b are pasted on the photo frame 204. The captured images 204a and 204b are also the same as the captured images 106a and 106b.

  For example, an operator such as a staff of a photo studio looks at the operation screen 100 displayed on the first monitor 14 and interacts with a customer who is viewing the display screen 200 displayed on the second monitor 20 ( And a photographed image to be pasted on the photo frame 106 is selected and changed in accordance with a customer instruction. When changing the captured image, the operator operates the icon 102a. Next, the operator designates the photographed image (106a, 106b) before the change to be replaced with another photographed image in the photograph frame 106. Then, the operator designates another shot image (changed shot image) from the thumbnail 104a. Then, the captured image is changed in the photo frame 106. When the photographed image to be pasted on the current photo frame 106 is determined, the operator interacts with the customer to select and change the photographed image to be pasted on the next (other) photo frame 106. When such processing is repeatedly performed and the photographed images to be pasted on all the photo frames 106 are determined, the process proceeds to album order processing. However, the photo frame 106 and / or the captured image may be changed.

  Therefore, of the information displayed on the operation screen 100 described above, information that does not need to be shown to the customer is not included in the display screen 200. Specifically, a label image 108 is displayed in front of the photographed images 106 a and 106 b pasted on the photo frame 106, and an image corresponding to the label image 108 is displayed on the display screen 200. Not. In addition, the operation screen 100 displays the character string 110 for the product price, but the display screen 200 does not display the character string 110 for the product price. Further, since the customer does not directly operate, the operation frame 102 is not provided on the display screen 200.

  As described above, only the information necessary for selecting a photo and the selection result are displayed on the display screen 200. Therefore, for example, since the customer hardly considers the product cost during the selection of the photo, an opportunity to select the photo without being bound by the product cost can be provided. In addition, since the operator can view the same image as the display screen 200 highlighted in the operation screen 100, the operator can obtain a sense of security of the operation, or the original draft of the album while talking (conversation) with the customer. It is considered that work efficiency is improved. That is, unnecessary trouble can be avoided and the operation can be performed smoothly.

  The photographed image data 304 c is image data regarding the photographed image, is read from the image database 32 according to the customer, and is stored in the data storage area 304. However, it is not necessary to read out image data for all the photographed images corresponding to the customer, and image data for some of the photographed images may be read out.

  The photo selection table data 304d is data about the photo selection table 400. As shown in FIG. 9A, the photo selection table 400 corresponds to the identification information (thumbnail ID) for identifying the area 1040 of the thumbnail 104a, and the image data of the photographed image corresponding to the thumbnail 104a. File name is described. That is, the thumbnail ID is identification information for individually identifying the five areas 1040. In the example shown in FIG. 9A, the thumbnail ID is indicated by using an uppercase letter T and a number. The photo selection table 400 is a table for managing the thumbnails 104a displayed in the area 1040 (photo selection frame 104). Therefore, when the thumbnail 104a is scrolled, the photo selection table 400 is updated.

  The thumbnail image data is included in the image data (image file) of the photographed image.

  Returning to FIG. 8, the photo frame table data 304 e is data about the photo frame table 500. As shown in FIG. 9B, the photo frame table 500 describes the file name of the image data of the photographed image corresponding to the file name (identification information) given to the image data of the photo frame 106. However, the file name given to the image data of the photo frame 106 is the file name for the image data of the photo frame 106 selected by the customer. Further, the file name assigned to the image data of the photographed image is the file name of the image data of the photographed image determined to be pasted (temporarily determined) to be attached to the corresponding photograph frame 106. Therefore, when image data of a plurality of photographed images is pasted on the photo frame 106, a file attached to each of the image data of the plurality of photographed images corresponding to the file name of the image data of the photograph frame 106. Name is described. However, in FIG. 9B, a horizontal bar indicates that the photographed image to be pasted on the photo frame 106 has not been determined.

  Although not shown, the data storage area 42 stores other data necessary for executing the information processing of the first embodiment, flags and timers required for executing the information processing, and the like. Is set as appropriate.

  Although illustration is omitted, when the screen display process is started, the photo selection table 400 and the photo frame table 500 are generated prior to the process of step S1. At this time, in the photo selection table 400, the file names of the first to fifth photographed images when n (N) photographed images are arranged in the order of file names or photographing times correspond to the thumbnail IDs. As described. In the photo frame table 500, the file name attached to the image data of the photo frame 106 selected by the customer is described. Further, the file name attached to the image data of one or a plurality of photographed images to be pasted on the photo frame 106 is pasted from the top of the photo selection table 400 in correspondence with the file name of the first photo frame 106. Only the number of sheets is acquired and described.

  In step S5, it is determined whether or not there is an operation input. Here, the CPU 24 determines whether or not the operation input data 304 a in the current frame is stored in the data storage area 304. However, the frame is a unit time for updating the screen, and is set to, for example, 1/30 second, 1/60 second, or 1/120 second.

  If “NO” in the step S5, that is, if there is no operation input, the process returns to the same step S5. On the other hand, if “YES” in the step S5, that is, if there is an operation input, it is determined whether or not the process is ended in a step S7. Here, the CPU 24 determines whether or not the icon (end button) 102b has been operated.

  If “YES” in the step S7, that is, if the process is finished, the screen display process is finished. In this case, although illustration is omitted, it is selected on the menu screen to proceed to ordering an album or to return to the selection (change) processing of the photographed image and the photo frame 106.

  On the other hand, if “NO” in the step S7, that is, if not finished, it is determined whether or not the thumbnail 104a is scrolled in a step S9. For example, the CPU 24 determines whether or not a slide or flick has been performed on the thumbnail 104a.

  If “YES” in the step S9, that is, if the thumbnail 104a is scrolled, the process proceeds to a step S13. Although illustration is omitted, at this time, the photo selection table 400 is updated according to the scroll. On the other hand, if “NO” in the step S9, that is, if the thumbnail 104a is not scrolled, it is determined whether or not the photo is changed in a step S11. Here, the CPU 24 determines whether or not the changed photographic image (thumbnail 104a) is selected after the icon (photo change button) 102a is operated and the photographic images (106a and 106b) before the change are selected. .

  If “YES” in the step S11, that is, if the photograph is changed, a display process for the operation screen is executed in a step S13, and a display process for the display screen is executed in a step S15. Return to. However, in steps S13 and S15, the operation screen 100 and the display screen 200 are updated according to the scroll of the thumbnail 104a or the change of the photograph. That is, not only the operation screen 100 but also the display screen 200 is updated as necessary.

  On the other hand, if “NO” in the step S11, that is, if the photograph is not changed, an operation screen display process is executed in a step S17, and then the process returns to the step S5. For example, in step S17, in response to the operation of the icon 102a, the operation screen 100 is updated so that the color of the icon 102a is reversed or grayed out. In addition, when a photographed image before change (for example, 106a and 106b) is selected, the operation screen 100 is updated so that the brightness of the photographed image is reduced or grayed out.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation screen display process shown in steps S1, S13, and S17 of FIG. However, the display process of the operation screen is executed by the GPU built in the display control circuit 34 in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 24.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the CPU 24 starts the operation screen display process, the CPU 24 generates and displays the operation frame 102 in step S31. Here, under the instruction of the CPU 24, the GPU reads out the image data of the operation frame 102 from the image generation data 304b, develops it in a VRAM built in the display control circuit 34, and generates display data. However, in the screen display process, when the icon 102a is operated, the color of the icon 102a is reversed or grayed out. Then, the GPU outputs the display data generated on the VRAM to the first monitor 14.

  In the subsequent step S33, the photo selection frame 104 is generated and displayed. Here, under the instruction of the CPU 24, the GPU reads out the image data of the photo selection frame 104 from the image generation data 304b, expands it to a predetermined position of the operation frame 102 on the VRAM, and stores five data from the data storage area 304. The thumbnails 104a are read, and the five thumbnails 104a are pasted on the area 1040 of the photo selection frame 104 to generate display data. However, when the thumbnail 104 a is pasted in the area 1040, the label image 104 b for the corresponding file name is drawn in the area 1042. At this time, the photo selection table 400 is referred to. Then, the GPU outputs the display data generated on the VRAM to the first monitor 14.

  Subsequently, in step S35, a photo frame 106 is generated and displayed. Here, under the CPU 24, the GPU reads out the image data of the photo frame 106 instructed by the operator from the image generation data 304b, develops it at a predetermined position of the photo selection frame 104 on the VRAM, and provides it to the photo frame 106. Display data is generated by pasting the image data of the photographed image in the area (1060, 1062). Then, the GPU outputs the display data generated on the VRAM to the first monitor 14.

  In the next step S37, the image file name is displayed. Here, under the instruction of the CPU 24, the GPU displays the image data of the label image 108 for the file name attached to the image data of the captured image displayed on the photo frame 106 in front of the image data of the corresponding captured image. Paste (draw).

  In step S39, the commodity price is displayed. Here, under the instruction of the CPU 24, the GPU displays a character string 110 for the commodity price in the lower right part of the photo selection frame 104. However, the product fee is separately calculated according to the type of album to be created, the photo frame to be used, the number of photographed images to be used, and the like. Here, the merchandise fee corresponding to the currently determined content is calculated, and a character string 110 (including a character string such as the total amount) for the merchandise fee is displayed.

  In step S41, the outer frame of the display screen 200 is displayed in a blinking manner, and the operation screen display processing is terminated. In step S41, under the instruction of the CPU 24, the GPU blinks the outer frame of the photo selection frame 104 developed in the VRAM.

  In the operation screen display process of the first embodiment, the display process is executed in each step. However, after the display data corresponding to the operation screen 100 is generated on the VRAM, the display process is performed. You may make it perform.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of display screen display processing shown in steps S3 and S15 of FIG. However, the display processing of the display screen is executed by the GPU built in the display control circuit 36 in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 24. The processing executed in the display screen display processing is the same as the processing included in the operation screen display processing described above, and will be described briefly.

  As shown in FIG. 12, when starting the display processing of the display screen, the CPU 24 generates and displays a photo selection frame 202 in step S61. However, the display data corresponding to the photo selection frame 202 is generated in a VRAM built in the display control circuit 36. This is the same in step S63. The photo selection frame 202 is the same as the photo selection frame 104 generated in step S33.

  In the next step 63, the photo frame 204 is generated and displayed, and the display screen display processing is terminated. The photo frame 204 is the same as the photo frame 106 generated in step S35.

  According to the first embodiment, the operation screen 100 and a display screen 200 for a part thereof are generated and displayed on different monitors, so that a photographed image such as a customer can be selected or the selection result can be displayed. Unnecessary information is not presented to the viewer. Therefore, unnecessary troubles can be prevented from occurring. Further, since the same content as the display screen 200 can be confirmed on the operation screen 100, communication between an operator such as a service provider and a customer is performed, and operations such as selection of a photographed image are performed. Can be done with confidence. Therefore, the operation can be performed smoothly.

  In the first embodiment, on the operation screen 100, the outer frame of the photo selection frame 104 is displayed in a blinking manner to emphasize the portion corresponding to the display screen 200 in the operation screen 100. However, it need not be limited to this. For example, the overall brightness (brightness) of the operation frame 102 may be made lower than the brightness of the photo selection frame 104 and the photo frame 106.

[Second Embodiment]
The information processing system 10 according to the second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except that the reduced screen of the display screen 200 can be selectively displayed on a part of the operation screen 100. The description will be omitted or briefly described.

  FIG. 13 is an illustrative view showing another example of the operation screen 100. FIG. 14 is an illustrative view showing another example of the operation screen 100.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the third embodiment, an icon 102 c and a region 102 d are further provided on the operation frame 102 constituting the operation screen 100.

In the photo frame 106, a photographed image 106a is displayed. , 106b, the label image 108 is displayed on the front surface, so that it looks different from the actual display screen 200. For this reason, by displaying the reduced image of the display screen 200, it is possible to interact with the customer while viewing a screen equivalent to the display screen 200 that the customer is viewing.

  Therefore, in the second embodiment, a program (switching program) for switching display / non-display of the reduced image on the display screen 200 according to the operation of the icon 102 c is stored in the program storage area 302.

  In addition, a flag (display switching flag) that is turned on / off by this switching program is provided in the data storage area 304. For example, when the display flag is on, a reduced image on the display screen 200 is displayed, and when the display flag is off, the reduced image on the display screen 200 is not displayed.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of the display flag switching process of the CPU 24 shown in FIG. Although illustration is omitted, this display flag switching process is executed between steps S5 to S11 in the screen display process shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 15, when starting the display flag switching process, the CPU 24 determines whether or not it is a display screen button (icon 102c) in step S81. If “YES” in the step S81, that is, if the icon 102c, it is determined whether or not the display flag is off in a step S83.

  If “NO” in the step S83, that is, if the display flag is turned on, the display flag is turned off in a step S85, the display flag switching process is ended, and the process returns to the screen display process. On the other hand, if “YES” in the step S83, that is, if the display flag is off, the display flag is turned on in a step S87, and the display screen 200 is captured in a step S89 to perform screen display processing. Return.

  If “NO” in the step S81, that is, if it is not the icon 102c, it is determined whether or not the display flag is turned on in a step S91. If “YES” in the step S91, that is, if the display flag is turned on, the process proceeds to a step S89. On the other hand, if “NO” in the step S91, that is, if the display flag is off, the process directly returns to the screen display process.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing another example of the operation screen display process of the CPU 24 shown in FIG. Hereinafter, another example of the operation screen display process will be described. In this example, steps S101, S103, and S105 are simply added to the operation screen display process of the first embodiment. Therefore, different contents will be described. The display screen display processing of the CPU 24 of the second embodiment is the same as the display screen display processing of the first embodiment shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 16, when the outer frame of the display screen 200 portion is displayed in a blinking manner in step S41, it is determined in step S101 whether the display flag is on. If “YES” in the step S101, a reduced image of the image captured from the display screen 200 is displayed in the area 102d in a step S103, and the process returns to the screen display process. On the other hand, if “NO” in the step S101, the reduced image is deleted (not displayed) in a step S105, and the process returns to the screen display process.

  In the second embodiment, the operation can be performed smoothly as in the first embodiment.

  Further, in the second embodiment, since the reduced image of the display screen presented to the customer can be viewed, the operator of the operation screen can give more appropriate advice to the customer, , Exchange accurate opinions with customers. That is, a more efficient operation can be performed by performing an appropriate dialogue.
