  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. These drawings are used to explain technical features that can be adopted by the present invention. The configuration of the apparatus, the flowcharts of various processes, and the like that are described are not intended to be limited to only that, but are merely illustrative examples.

  An overview of the printing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The printing system 1 includes a printing device 10 and a portable terminal 20 that can be interconnected by wire or wireless. In this example, the printing apparatus 10 and the mobile terminal 20 are connected by wireless communication. The printing apparatus 10 is a small-sized label printer that prints characters (characters, symbols, designs, etc.) on a tape that is a long print medium and creates a label that can be pasted. The portable terminal 20 is a small computer terminal (for example, a smartphone) used for editing a label image indicating a label printing mode. The label image editing is a concept including new label image creation, display content change, layout change, and the like.

  In the mobile terminal 20, when the user edits the label image, print data for printing the label image is generated and transmitted to the printing apparatus 10. The printing apparatus 10 performs a printing process on a tape based on the print data received from the mobile terminal 20 to create a label. Therefore, the user can create a label with the printing apparatus 10 by operating the mobile terminal 20.

  The electrical configuration of the printing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The printing apparatus 10 includes a CPU 11 that controls the entire control of the printing apparatus 10. The CPU 11 is electrically connected to the SRAM 12, the FLASH ROM 13, the EEPROM 14, the transport roller 15, the print head 16, the operation key 17, the display 18, the wireless communication unit 19, and a wired connection I / F (not shown).

  The SRAM 12 stores a timer, a counter, and temporary data. The FLASH ROM 13 stores a control program for the CPU 11, BIOS, OS, and the like. The EEPROM 14 stores parameters and initial setting information. The transport roller 15 transports a tape stored in a tape cassette (not shown) mounted on the printing apparatus 10. The print head 16 performs printing on the tape transported by the transport roller 15. The wireless communication unit 19 is a controller for wireless communication with an external device such as the mobile terminal 20. The wired connection I / F (not shown) is an interface for connecting to an external device such as the mobile terminal 20 by wire.

  The mobile terminal 20 is electrically connected to the CPU 21, ROM 22, RAM 23, HDD 24, wireless communication unit 25, unillustrated wired connection I / F, touch panel 30, and camera 33. The ROM 22 stores a boot program, BIOS, and the like. The RAM 23 stores a timer, a counter, and temporary data. The HDD 24 stores various application programs and OS. An application program (hereinafter referred to as an image editing application) for executing an image editing process described later (see FIGS. 3 to 5) and a label edited image described later used by the image editing application are also stored in the HDD 24.

  The wireless communication unit 25 is a controller for performing wireless communication with an external device such as the printing apparatus 10. The wired connection I / F (not shown) is an interface for connecting to an external device such as the printing apparatus 10 by wire. The camera 33 is a known small camera capable of photographing the outside of the mobile terminal 20, for example, a CMOS camera. In the present embodiment, the shooting range of the camera 33 is on the back side of the mobile terminal 20. Note that setting information of the camera 33 (the size of the shooting range, the resolution of the shot image, the color tone of the shot image, etc.) can be arbitrarily set and changed by the user as is well known.

  The mobile terminal 20 includes a main body 29 (see FIG. 1) that is rectangular when viewed from the front. On the front side of the main body 29, a touch panel 30 which is a display body capable of detecting contact with an external object is provided. The touch panel 30 has a rectangular display area. In the touch panel 30, a substantially transparent pressure sensitive sheet 32 that detects contact of an external object is laminated on a display panel 31 that displays an image. The CPU 21 can determine the user's input operation based on the contact position of the external object specified by the pressure sensitive sheet 32. The portable terminal 20 has a user interface function that allows the user to perform an input operation in an interactive manner. On the touch panel 30, the user can edit a label edit image showing a label printing mode in an interactive manner. The label edit image is electronic data including setting information such as the layout, display contents, and size of the label image.

  With reference to FIGS. 3 to 12, an image editing process executed by the mobile terminal 20 will be described. The image editing process (see FIGS. 3 to 5) is executed by the CPU 21 when the image editing application is activated on the portable terminal 20. As shown in FIG. 3, in the image editing process, first, the CPU 21 sets the photographing function to ON (S1). The camera 33 shoots a preset shooting range when the shooting function is set to ON. Next, the CPU 21 displays an initial screen including an image captured by the camera 33 on the touch panel 30 (S3).

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, when the shooting function is set to ON (S <b> 1), the shooting range 33 </ b> A on the back side of the mobile terminal 20 is shot by the camera 33. A label 50 attached to the spine of the book 40 is included in the photographing range 33A. On the label 50, a character “CAUTION” is printed. The captured image of the camera 33 includes a label captured image 101 and a background image 102. The label photographed image 101 is an image obtained by photographing the label 50. The background image 102 is an image portion other than the label photographed image 101 in the photographed image.

  In this case, the initial screen 100 including the label photographed image 101 and the background image 102 is displayed on the touch panel 30 (S3). The initial screen 100 displays an image taken in real time by the camera 33. For example, when the shooting position, size, enlargement or reduction of the shooting range 33A is performed, the shot image displayed on the initial screen 100 changes in real time.

  As shown in FIG. 3, after executing S3, the CPU 21 determines whether there is a capture operation (S5). In the present embodiment, the initial screen 100 shown in FIG. 6 includes a capture button 103 for instructing acquisition of a captured image. When the capture button 103 is pressed, the CPU 21 determines that there is a capture operation (S5: YES), and executes a label specifying process described later (S7). If the CPU 21 does not determine that there is a capture operation (S5: NO), the process returns to S1.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the label specifying process, first, the CPU 21 acquires a captured image (S51). Specifically, the CPU 21 captures, as a captured image, a captured image captured at the time when the capture operation is received (that is, when it is determined that there is a capture operation) among the captured images captured by the camera 33. It is stored in the RAM 23. Next, the CPU 21 extracts a character from the acquired captured image (S53). Specifically, the CPU 21 performs image analysis on the acquired captured image and extracts a character by a known OCR technique. Although not shown, if no character is extracted in S53, the CPU 21 returns the process to S1 (see FIG. 3).

  Next, the CPU 21 searches for a label edit image including the extracted character (S55). In the present embodiment, the label edited image edited in the past by the mobile terminal 20 is stored in the HDD 24. The CPU 21 searches the label edit image including the extracted character from the existing label edit image stored in the HDD 24. In addition to the label edited image edited in the past by the mobile terminal 20, the HDD 24 may store a label edited image edited in the past by another computer. Further, the CPU 21 may access a server (not shown) that manages an existing label edited image and search for a label edited image including the extracted character.

  As shown in FIG. 5, after executing S55, the CPU 21 determines whether there are a plurality of label-edited images (hereinafter referred to as candidate images) that have been found in the search (S57). When there are a plurality of candidate images (S57: YES), the CPU 21 displays a list of candidate images on the touch panel 30 (S59). The CPU 21 receives an operation for selecting a candidate image by the user in the displayed list of candidate images (S61), and acquires the selected candidate image (S63). Specifically, the CPU 21 reads the selected candidate image from the HDD 24 and stores it in the RAM 23 as a target edited image.

  When there is one candidate image, the CPU 21 does not determine that there are a plurality of candidate images (S57: NO), and acquires the candidate images as target edit images (S63). After executing S63, the CPU 21 returns the process to the image editing process (see FIG. 3). Although not shown, when there is no label edit image that has been hit in the search in S57, the CPU 21 returns the process to S1 (see FIG. 3).

  For example, when the capture button 103 is pressed in the state shown in FIG. 6, a captured image including the label captured image 101 of the label 50 is acquired as the captured image 104 (S51). Based on the captured image 104, “CAUTION”, which is a character included in the label photographed image 101, is extracted (S53). An existing label edited image including “CAUTION” is retrieved from the HDD 24 or the server (S55). When there is one candidate image, the candidate image is acquired as the target edited image (S57: NO, S63).

  On the other hand, when there are a plurality of candidate images, the candidate selection screen 110 illustrated in FIG. 7 is displayed on the touch panel 30 (S57: YES, S59). The candidate selection screen 110 includes a candidate list 111, a selection candidate image 112, a setting change unit 113, a confirmation button 114, and the like. The candidate list 111 displays a list of a plurality of candidate images. Specifically, all candidate images including “CAUTION” are displayed in the candidate list 111. The user can select any candidate image from the candidate list 111 by operating the touch panel 30.

  The selection candidate image 112 is a preview image of the candidate image selected from the candidate list 111. The setting change unit 113 is an operation unit for changing setting information (label length, margin length, typeface, decoration, etc.) of the candidate image displayed on the selection candidate image 112. The setting information that can be changed by the setting changing unit 113 is changed according to the selection candidate image 112. When the setting information is changed by the setting change unit 113, the display mode of the selection candidate image 112 is also updated in accordance with the changed content. When the confirm button 114 is pressed, the selection candidate image 112 is acquired as the target edit image (S61, S63).

  As shown in FIG. 3, after executing S7, the CPU 21 displays setting information of the target edited image on the touch panel 30 (S9). Next, the CPU 21 determines whether the background display mode is the “fixed mode” (S11). In the present embodiment, either “fixed mode” or “AR (Augmented Reality) mode” is set in the RAM 23 as the background display mode. As an example, the initial value of the background display mode is “fixed mode”. Note that the user can freely set either the “fixed mode” or the “AR mode” as the background display mode by operating the touch panel 30.

  When the background display mode set in the RAM 23 is “fixed mode”, the CPU 21 determines that the background display mode is “fixed mode” (S11: YES). In this case, the CPU 21 sets the photographing function to off (S13). Thereby, the camera 33 interrupts the photographing operation. Next, the CPU 21 displays the target edited image on the touch panel 30 so as to overlap the fixed background (S15). That is, the CPU 21 displays the entire target edit image and the portion of the fixed background that does not overlap with the target edit image.

  A screen display example of “fixed mode” will be described with reference to FIG. After the target edit image 120 is acquired in S <b> 7, the fixed mode edit screen 130 illustrated in FIG. 8 is displayed on the touch panel 30. On the fixed mode editing screen 130, a setting changing unit 121 for changing the setting information (label length, margin length, typeface, decoration, etc.) of the target edited image 120 is provided in the same manner as the setting changing unit 113 (see FIG. 7). It is displayed (S9). Since the background display mode is the “fixed mode”, the shooting operation of the camera 33 is interrupted (S13).

  A first composite image 131 is created based on the captured image 104 (see FIG. 6) and the target edited image 120 stored in the RAM 23. The first synthesized image 131 is an image synthesized so that the target edited image 120 overlaps the fixed background 132. The fixed background 132 is an image portion (that is, the background image 102) other than the label photographed image 101 in the captured image 104. The created first composite image 131 is displayed on the fixed mode edit screen 130 (S15).

  For example, the CPU 21 performs a drawing process of replacing the captured label image 101 with the target edited image 120 in the captured image 104. At this time, the CPU 21 replaces the label shot image 101 with the target edit image 120 so that the position and size of the character included in the target shot image 120 substantially match the position and size of the character included in the label shot image 101. To do. Thereby, in the first composite image 131, the target edit image 120 is arranged so as to substantially match the position and size of the label photographed image 101 in the capture image 104, and the fixed background 132 is arranged around the target edit image 120. The

  In the fixed mode editing screen 130 illustrated in FIG. 8, the setting change unit 121 is disposed on the front side of the first composite image 131 and is disposed at a position that does not overlap with the target edited image 120. The fixed mode edit screen 130 can display a state in which the target edit image 120 is virtually arranged with respect to the book 40 (see FIG. 6) to which the label 50 is attached. Therefore, the mobile terminal 20 can cause the user to edit the target edited image 120 that is virtually arranged with respect to the target object, instead of the label that has already been attached to the target object.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the background display mode set in the RAM 23 is “AR mode”, the CPU 21 determines that the background display mode is not “fixed mode” (S11: NO). In this case, the CPU 21 sets the photographing function to ON (S17). As a result, the camera 33 continues to perform the photographing operation. Next, the CPU 21 displays the target edited image on the touch panel 30 so as to overlap the real-time background (S19). That is, the CPU 21 displays the entire target edit image and a portion of the real-time background that does not overlap with the target edit image.

  A screen display example of “AR mode” will be described with reference to FIG. 9. After the target edit image 120 is acquired in S <b> 7, the AR mode edit screen 140 illustrated in FIG. 9 is displayed on the touch panel 30. The above-described setting change unit 121 is displayed on the AR mode editing screen 140 (S9). Since the background display mode is the “AR mode”, the photographing operation of the camera 33 is continued (S17), and the real-time background 142 is acquired. The real-time background 142 is a captured image that is continuously captured by the camera 33.

  A second composite image 141 is created based on the captured image 104 (see FIG. 6) stored in the RAM 23 and the latest real-time background 142. The second synthesized image 141 is an image synthesized so that the target edited image 120 overlaps the real-time background 142. Therefore, for example, the real-time background 142 changes with the change in position of the shooting range 33A. The created second composite image 141 is displayed on the AR mode editing screen 140 (S19).

  For example, the CPU 21 displays an image being captured by the camera 33 as a real-time background 142 and performs a drawing process for displaying the target edited image 120 on the real-time background 142. At this time, the CPU 21 displays the target edited image 120 so that the position and size of the character in the target edited image 120 substantially match the position and size of the character in the label photographed image 101. As a result, in the second composite image 141, the target edit image 120 is arranged so as to substantially match the position and size of the label photographed image 101 in the capture image 104, and the real-time background 142 is arranged around the target edit image 120. The

  In the AR mode editing screen 140 illustrated in FIG. 9, the setting change unit 121 is disposed on the front side of the second composite image 141 and is disposed at a position that does not overlap with the target edited image 120. For example, the AR mode editing screen 140 can display a state in which the target editing image 120 is virtually arranged on an object to which a label is to be attached (in the example of FIG. 9, the cabinet 60). Accordingly, the mobile terminal 20 can allow the user to edit the target edited image 120 that is virtually arranged with respect to an arbitrary target.

  As shown in FIG. 4, after executing S15 or S19, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is an operation for changing the setting information of the target edited image (S21). In the present embodiment, the setting information changing operation includes not only an operation of changing the setting information of the target edited image 120 but also an operation of editing the character of the target edited image 120. When it is determined that there is a setting information change operation (S21: YES), the CPU 21 executes a setting change process for changing the setting information of the target edited image in accordance with the received setting information change operation (S23). Thereafter, the CPU 21 returns the process to S9.

  If it is not determined that there is a setting information change operation (S21: NO), the CPU 21 determines whether there is a printing operation (S25). When it is determined that there is a printing operation (S25: YES), the CPU 21 executes a printing process for printing the target edited image (S27). Thereafter, the CPU 21 returns the process to S9. If it is not determined that there is a print operation (S25: NO), the CPU 21 determines whether there is a cancel operation (S29). If it is determined that there is a cancel operation (S29: YES), the CPU 21 returns the process to S1.

  Hereinafter, a label editing example using the fixed mode editing screen 130 will be described. As shown in FIG. 8, the user can change the setting information of the target edited image 120 by operating the setting changing unit 121. When the setting information is changed by the setting changing unit 121, it is determined that there is an operation for changing the setting information (S21: YES). In this case, the setting information of the target edited image 120 is changed according to the setting information changing operation (S23). Specifically, the changed setting information is set in the target edited image 120, and the display mode of the target edited image 120 is updated according to the changed setting information. In the example illustrated in FIG. 8, the decoration is changed from “bold” to “italic” in the setting change unit 121. Accordingly, “italic” is set as the decoration of the target edited image 120, and the display mode of the target edited image 120 is updated to be “italic”.

  In the present embodiment, when editing completion is instructed on the fixed mode editing screen 130, a plurality of command buttons are displayed on the fixed mode editing screen 130 in place of the setting changing unit 121 as shown in FIG. The plurality of command buttons include a print button 125, a re-edit button 126, and a cancel button 127. When the print button 125 is pressed, it is determined that there is a printing operation (S25: YES), and the edited target edited image 120 is printed (S27).

  Specifically, the CPU 21 activates a printer driver (not shown) to generate print data based on the edited target edited image 120 and transmits a print command including the generated print data to the printing apparatus 10. . The printing apparatus 10 creates a label that can be pasted by printing the target edited image 120 on a tape based on a print command.

  When the cancel button 127 is pressed, it is determined that there is a cancel operation (S29: YES), and the editing operation of the target edited image 120 is ended. In this case, since the initial screen 100 (see FIG. 6) is displayed on the touch panel 30, the user can reacquire a new captured image 104. When the re-edit button 126 is pressed, the screen returns to the fixed mode edit screen 130 shown in FIG. 8, and the user can resume editing the target edit image 120.

  Next, a label editing example using the AR mode editing screen 140 will be described. The label editing example using the AR mode editing screen 140 is basically the same as the label editing example using the fixed mode editing screen 130. As shown in FIG. 9, the user can change the setting information of the target edited image 120 by operating the setting changing unit 121. When the completion of editing is instructed on the AR mode editing screen 140, a plurality of command buttons are displayed on the AR mode editing screen 140 in place of the setting changing unit 121 as shown in FIG. When any of the print button 125, the re-edit button 126, and the cancel button 127 is pressed, the processing corresponding to the pressed button is executed as described above.

  In this embodiment, the second composite image 141 is continuously displayed on the AR mode editing screen 140 in FIG. 11 as in the AR mode editing screen 140 in FIG. Therefore, the AR mode editing screen 140 can display a state where the edited target edited image 120 is virtually arranged with respect to the target. For example, the target edited image 120 being edited shown in FIG. 9 is arranged in the right part of the cabinet 60. The user adjusts the shooting position of the camera 33 after the editing of the target edited image 120 is completed. Thus, on the AR mode editing screen 140 shown in FIG. 11, the edited target edited image 120 is positioned on the center side in the left-right direction of the cabinet 60. As described above, the user can confirm the state in which the edited target edited image 120 is virtually arranged with respect to the target object before executing the label printing.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when it is not determined that there is a cancel operation (S29: NO), it is determined whether there is a design label selection operation (S31). The design label is a template-edited image of a template provided from, for example, the manufacturer of the printing apparatus 10. In the present embodiment, a plurality of design labels are stored in the HDD 24 in advance.

  When it is determined that there is a design label selection operation (S31: YES), the CPU 21 displays a list of design labels stored in the HDD 24 on the touch panel 30 (S33). The CPU 21 may access a server (not shown) that manages existing design labels and display a list of design labels managed by the server. The CPU 21 receives an operation of selecting a design label by the user in the displayed list of design labels, and acquires the selected design label (S35). Specifically, the CPU 21 reads out the selected design label from the HDD 24 or the server, and stores it in the RAM 23 as a target edited image. If it is not determined that there is a design label selection operation (S31: YES), or after executing S35, the CPU 21 returns the process to S9.

  With reference to the fixed mode edit screen 130 of FIG. 12, the process regarding a design label is demonstrated concretely. When a design label including “CAUTION” which is the character of the target edited image 120 exists in the HDD 24 or the server, a “label collection” button is displayed on the setting change unit 121. When the “label collection” button is pressed, it is determined that there is a design label selection operation (S31: YES), and the collection list 122 is displayed on the fixed mode editing screen 130 (S33). The collection list 122 displays a list of all design labels including “CAUTION”.

  The user can select an arbitrary design label from the collection list 122 by operating the touch panel 30. The selected design label is displayed on the fixed mode edit screen 130 as the target edit image 120 (S35). Thus, the user can execute label editing using the design label related to the label photographed image 101. Note that the AR mode editing screen 140 can also execute label editing using a design label, as described above.

  According to the embodiment described above, the mobile terminal 20 includes the touch panel 30 that can display a label-edited image indicating a label printing mode, and the camera 33 that can capture a predetermined capturing range 33A. The CPU 21 acquires a captured image 104 that is a captured image that is captured at the time when the capture operation is received from among captured images that are images of the capturing range 33A captured by the camera 33 (S51). When the captured captured image 104 includes a label captured image 101 that is a label image, the CPU 21 converts the target edited image 120 that is a label edited image corresponding to the label captured image 101 into at least one label edited image. Is acquired from the HDD 24 or the server that stores (S53 to S63). The CPU 21 displays the acquired target edit image 120 on the touch panel 30 (S15 or S19). According to this, even when the label is affixed to the target object (for example, the label 50 affixed to the book 40), the portable terminal 20 displays the target edit image 120 corresponding to the printing mode of the label. It can be acquired while suppressing the operation burden on the user.

  The CPU 21 displays the first composite image 131 including the target edited image 120 on the touch panel 30 (S15).

The fixed background 132 is an image portion (that is, the background image 102) other than the label photographed image 101 in the captured image 104. According to this, the mobile terminal 20 can display a state in which the target edited image 120 is virtually arranged on the target instead of the label already attached to the target, for example.

  After receiving the capture operation, the CPU 21 causes the camera 33 to continuously shoot the shooting range 33A (S17). The CPU 21 causes the touch panel 30 to display the second composite image 141 including the target edited image 120. The second composite image 141 is superimposed on the real-time background 142 continuously photographed by the camera 33, and the target edited image 120 is arranged so as to substantially match the position and size of the label photographed image 101 in the capture image 104. It is an image. According to this, the portable terminal 20 can display a state in which the target edited image 120 is virtually arranged with respect to an arbitrary target.

  The CPU 21 specifies a character included in the label photographed image 101 by image analysis of the acquired captured image 104, and acquires a label edit image including the specified character as the target edit image 120 from the HDD 24 or the server (S53 to S53). S63). According to this, the portable terminal 20 can automatically provide the target edited image 120 corresponding to the label photographed image 101.

  When a plurality of target edit images 120 are acquired, the CPU 21 displays a candidate list 111 indicating the acquired plurality of target edit images 120 on the touch panel 30 (S59). The CPU 21 causes the touch panel 30 to display only the target edit image 120 selected from the candidate list 111 displayed on the touch panel 30 among the plurality of acquired target edit images 120 (S15 or S19). According to this, even when there are a plurality of target edit images 120 corresponding to the label photographed image 101, the mobile terminal 20 can provide the target edit image 120 desired by the user.

  The touch panel 30 is an operation unit for editing the label edit image displayed on the touch panel 30. CPU21 edits the target edit image 120 displayed on the touch panel 30 according to the instruction | indication from the touch panel 30 (S23). According to this, the mobile terminal 20 can cause the user to edit the acquired target edit image 120.
