  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The image providing system according to the present embodiment is installed in a sightseeing spot, a theme park, or the like. The photographing system is installed in various places, and a user (tourist) takes a picture of the places where the photographing system is installed. Perform a photo rally to shoot. After the photo rally, the captured image data is printed out and provided to the user.

  FIG. 1 shows an example in which an image providing system is installed in a theme park, and FIG. 2 shows a block configuration of the image providing system. The image providing system includes a server 10, a participation receiving unit 20, a printer 30, and a plurality of photographing systems 40. The participation reception unit 20 and the printer 30 are provided in the management center 1 where the entrance / exit gate of the theme park is located. The photographing system 40 is installed in various places in the theme park.

  When the participation reception unit 20 receives a photo rally participation application from a user, the participation reception unit 20 issues a participation certificate printed with a two-dimensional code indicating identification information for uniquely identifying the user. The user holds a participation certificate over the reader 44 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) of the photographing system 40 in the park. When the reader 44 reads the two-dimensional code of the participation certificate, the photographing system 40 questions a quiz or photographs the user. The imaging system 40 notifies the server 10 of the correct number of quizzes.

  The photographing system 40 photographs a user with a camera 41 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) and transmits photographed image data to the server 10.

  The photographing system 40 instructs the user to stand and pose when photographing. For example, the imaging system 40 instructs to make a pose as shown in FIG. 3A, or instructs the timing for jumping as shown in FIG. Because of the instruction by the photographing system 40, the user can take various poses without worrying about the eyes and without being shy.

  The server 10 stores the image data and quiz correct number information transmitted from the plurality of imaging systems 40 in the park for each user.

  After the photo rally, the user holds a participation card over the printer 30. A code reading unit provided in the printer 30 reads the two-dimensional code of the participation certificate and notifies the server 10 of identification information. The server 10 combines a user image captured by the plurality of imaging systems 40 and a template image to generate a print image. The template image may change depending on the number of correct answers to the quiz and the number of places where the shooting was performed (number of rally points). The printer 30 prints an image for printing on a photographic paper, a sticker mount, a mug, a badge, or the like to produce a printed matter.

  The image photographed by the photographing system 40 has a unique pose, and has a good balance with the background when the standing position is instructed. In addition, when the camera 41 is installed in an upper part of a high building or the like, the image has a special shooting angle that cannot be taken even if the user carries a tripod or the like. By printing such an image, a printed matter that becomes a souvenir for the user can be created.

  Next, the configuration of each part of the image providing system will be described. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the server 10 includes a code generation unit 11, an authentication unit 12, a communication processing unit 13, a print image generation unit 14, and a storage unit 15. The server 10 includes a computer having an auxiliary storage device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a communication module, and a semiconductor memory, and each function is realized by the CPU executing a program.

  The code generation unit 11 generates identification information for identifying a user who participates in the photo rally, and issues a two-dimensional code indicating the identification information. For example, the code generation unit 11 generates identification information including a character string of a plurality of digits (for example, 20 digits) using a random number generation program. The generated identification information is stored in the storage unit 15 as an issue code.

  The authentication unit 12 compares the identification information acquired by the reader 44 of the imaging system 40 by reading the two-dimensional code with the issued code stored in the storage unit 15 and determines whether the identification information is legitimate identification information.

  The communication processing unit 13 performs communication processing with the participation receiving unit 20, the printer 30, and each imaging system 40. For example, when the communication processing unit 13 receives a photo rally participation application from the participation reception unit 20, the communication processing unit 13 transmits the two-dimensional code generated by the code generation unit 11 to the participation reception unit 20.

  When the communication processing unit 13 receives the identification information read by the imaging system 40, the communication processing unit 13 transmits the determination result by the authentication unit 12 to the imaging system 40. Further, the communication processing unit 13 transmits the quiz data stored in the storage unit 15 to the imaging system 40. The communication processing unit 13 receives the correct number information of the user who answered the quiz from the imaging system 40, and stores it in the storage unit 15 in association with the user identification information.

  In addition, when the communication processing unit 13 receives the captured image data from the imaging system 40, the communication processing unit 13 stores the captured image data in the storage unit 15 in association with the identification information of the captured user.

  When receiving the identification information from the printer 30, the communication processing unit 13 transmits the print image data generated by the print image generation unit 14 to the printer 30.

  The print image generation unit 14 extracts photographed image data corresponding to the identification information received from the printer 30 by the communication processing unit 13 from the storage unit 15 and combines it with the template image to generate a print image. A plurality of template images are stored in the storage unit 15, and the print image generation unit 14 may select a template image to be synthesized according to the number of quiz correct answers and the number of rally points of the user.

  The camera 41 is, for example, a digital camera, and shoots a user and generates captured image data. Although FIG. 4 shows an example in which the camera 41 is installed on the touch panel 42, the installation location of the camera 41 is not limited to this, and the camera 41 is installed at the upper part of the building so that the user can be photographed from above. May be.

  The image processing unit 46 receives captured image data from the camera 41, detects the position of the user's face, calculates the number of people, and detects the user's action (for example, a gesture of raising a hand). .

  The touch panel 42 displays information visible to the user. The output processing unit 48 performs data processing necessary for information display on the touch panel 42. The touch panel 42 detects a user operation. The input processing unit 47 performs data processing according to a user operation. Instead of the touch panel 42, a display for displaying information, an operation button for receiving a user operation, and the like may be provided.

  The speaker 43 outputs voice guidance and the like. The output processing unit 48 performs data processing for generating sound emitted from the speaker 43.

  The reader 44 reads the two-dimensional code printed on the participation certificate possessed by the user and acquires identification information.

  When the reader 44 reads the two-dimensional code of the participation certificate presented to the user and acquires the identification information, the communication unit 49 notifies the server 10 of the identification information and determines whether the identification information is legitimate identification information. Receive.

  If the identification information is not legitimate identification information, the imaging system 40 outputs a voice “the code seems to be different” or displays it on the touch panel 42 with characters. When the identification information is legitimate identification information, the imaging system 40 uses the quiz data received from the server 10 to give a quiz and accepts a reply from the user. The quiz problem is displayed on the touch panel 42 together with the voice. An answer can be received from the user via the touch panel 42. The imaging system 40 transmits the correct number of quizzes to the server 10 together with the user identification information.

  The photographing system 40 outputs a voice “Take a picture” and photographs the user with the camera 41. The photographing system 40 analyzes the photographed image, detects the position of the user, outputs a sound such as “Please stand a little behind”, and adjusts the standing position of the user. As a result, an image having a good balance with the background can be taken.

  The photographing system 40 outputs a sound such as “Please jump according to the signal”, instructs the pose, and displays a sample of the pose on the touch panel 42.

  When the camera 41 is installed at a distant position such as a high place, the photographing system 40 teaches the user the position of the camera 41 by voice, display on the touch panel 42, or the like, and instructs the camera 41 to face.

  The photographing system 40 may display an image photographed by the camera 41 on the touch panel 42 and confirm with the user whether or not to re-shoot. The imaging system 40 transmits the captured image data together with the user identification information to the server 10. In this way, the user answers a quiz or takes a picture at the place where the photographing system 40 is installed.

  Next, an image printing method using the image providing system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The user makes a photo rally participation application at the participation reception unit 20 of the management center 1 and receives the issued participation certificate (step S1). A two-dimensional code indicating identification information for identifying a user participating in the photo rally is printed on the participation certificate.

  When the user strolls in the park and finds the photographing system 40, the user reads the two-dimensional code of the participation certificate (step S2). The imaging system 40 acquires identification information from the two-dimensional code using the reader 44 and inquires of the server 10 whether the identification information is regular identification information.

  The photographing system 40 gives a quiz to the user or photographs the user using the camera 41 (step S3). The photographing system 40 instructs a user to stand and pose when photographing. The imaging system 40 transmits the quiz correct number information and the captured image data together with the identification information to the server 10 (step S4). The correct number information and the captured image data are stored in the server 10 in association with the identification information.

  The user goes around the park and answers a quiz or takes a picture at a plurality of places where the photographing system 40 is installed (steps S2 to S5). When the user finishes the photo rally (step S5_Yes), the user returns to the management center 1, holds a participation certificate over a code reader (not shown) provided in the printer 30, and reads the two-dimensional code (step S6). Note that the code reader does not need to be provided in the printer 30, and may be provided at the end point of the photo rally.

  The printer 30 transmits the read identification information to the server 10. Upon receiving the identification information from the printer 30, the server 10 determines that the user has finished the photo rally, takes out a plurality of photographed image data corresponding to the identification information from the storage unit 15, combines it with the template image, and prints it. An image is generated (step S7). The server 10 transmits the print image data to the printer 30.

  The printer 30 prints the print image data received from the server 10 on photographic paper and outputs it (step S8).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the user performs a photo rally that takes pictures around various places while enjoying a quiz and the like, and obtains a printed matter on which the photographed image is printed after the rally is finished. be able to. Since the pose and standing position are instructed by the photographing system 40, the photograph has a good composition. In addition, when shooting is performed by a person such as a staff, the person tends to be in a safe pose with care, but in this embodiment, since the shooting system 40 performs pose guidance and shooting, the user is shy. You can take a unique pose without In addition, the camera 41 can shoot from a special angle. The printed matter on which such an image is printed becomes a souvenir for the user.

  The user may be able to select a photographed image to be printed out after the photo rally. After the photo rally, the user holds a participation card over the code reader and reads the two-dimensional code. The server 10 retrieves the photographed image data of the user from the storage unit 15 and displays the photographed image data in a selectable manner on a display installed near the code reader. When the user selects the captured image data displayed on the display, the server 10 combines the selected image and the template image to generate a print image.

  In addition to the photographed image, a template image may be selected. The type of template image that can be selected may be changed according to the number of correct answers and the number of rally points of the quiz performed during the photo rally (the number of the photographing systems 40 that have sent the photographed image data).

  You may make it register the relationship of the participating user at the time of a photo rally participation application. The user relationship is, for example, a family, a friend, a couple, or the like. When the imaging system 40 reads the two-dimensional code of the participation certificate presented by the user and inquires the server 10 for identification information, the server 10 notifies the imaging system 40 of the relationship between the registered users together with the authentication result. . The imaging system 40 stores data of a plurality of types of poses to be instructed at the time of taking a picture in a storage unit, and selects and instructs a suitable pose according to the user's relationship.

  In the above embodiment, the user is specified by reading the two-dimensional code of the participation certificate with the reader 44 of the photographing system 40 and acquiring the identification information. However, even if the camera 41 reads the two-dimensional code. Good. In addition, a user's face image may be taken at the time of application for participation, the face image may be stored in the server 10, and face authentication may be performed using the face image taken by the photographing system 40 with the camera 41 to identify the user. . Alternatively, the RF tag storing the identification information may be distributed to the user, and the reader 44 may read the identification information from the RF tag.

  In the above embodiment, an example of applying for participation in the photo rally in the management center 1 has been described. However, it may be possible to participate in the photo rally when going around the park. For example, a capsule vending machine that sells capsules enclosing a participation certificate is installed in the park. The identification information indicated by the two-dimensional code printed on the participation certificate in the capsule is stored in the storage unit 15 of the server 10 as an issuance code.

  When a user purchases a capsule at a capsule vending machine and takes out a participation certificate from the capsule, the user holds it over a reader 44 of a nearby imaging system 40. The imaging system 40 reads the two-dimensional code of the participation certificate and notifies the server 10 of identification information. The server 10 collates the notified identification information with the issued code in the storage unit 15, and accepts participation in the photo rally (participation in the middle). Thus, after entering the theme park, users who are interested in seeing the photo rally can easily participate in the photo rally.

  After the photo rally, the photographed image data may be provided to the user instead of outputting the printed material or together with outputting the printed material. For example, the server 10 generates a two-dimensional code indicating the URL of the image data download site, and the printer 30 prints out the two-dimensional code. Alternatively, the two-dimensional code may be displayed on a display, read by a user with a portable terminal, and downloaded as image data. You may enable it to image | photograph a moving image with the camera 41 of the imaging | photography system 40, and to download moving image data.

  An expiration date may be set for the photo rally participation certificate. For example, a photo rally can be performed only on the day of application. When receiving the participation application, the server 10 registers the participation date information in association with the identification information in the issued code. The server 10 searches the storage unit 15 using the identification information notified from the imaging system 40, and determines whether or not the participation date information associated with the identification information indicates the current day. If the participation date information is a past date, the server 10 notifies the imaging system 40 that there is an error. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the participation certificate used in the past from being reused.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which a two-dimensional code indicating identification information for identifying a user is printed on a participation certificate has been described, but a barcode may be used instead of a two-dimensional code.

  Each imaging system 40 can perform imaging every time a participation certificate is presented. Therefore, the user can perform shooting a plurality of times with one (one) shooting system 40. The server 10 stores the image data received from the imaging system 40 in the storage unit 15 in association with information identifying the imaging system 40 (imaging location) together with user identification information.

  Participation in the photo rally may be free, and after the photo rally is completed, the right to download printed matter and photographed image data may be sold. For example, an order receiving terminal 5 as shown in FIG. 7 is installed in the management center 1 to sell printed materials and image data and to output printed materials. FIG. 8 is a block diagram of the order receiving terminal 5.

  The order receiving terminal 5 includes a first touch panel 51A, a second touch panel 51B, a charging unit 52, a reading unit 53, a CPU (central processing unit) 54, a storage unit 55, a communication processing unit 56, and a printer 57.

  The first touch panel 51A and the second touch panel 51B display information including images and accept input of various instructions from the user. For example, the first touch panel 51A or the second touch panel 51B displays an order screen (see FIGS. 10 and 11) that accepts selection of an image to be printed and an image to download data.

  The billing unit 52 has a coin insertion slot 52A, a bill insertion slot 52B, and a change return slot 52C provided on the front side of the housing 50, and identifies and counts the money inserted from the coin insertion slot 52A and the bill insertion slot 52B. Then, the change is discharged from the change return port 52C. In addition, the billing unit 52 may have a payment function using electronic money. Further, the charging unit 52 may have a receipt printer that prints the order contents, the charged amount, the inserted amount, the change amount and the like on a receipt.

  The reading unit 53 reads identification information from a bar code or a two-dimensional code printed on a photo rally participation certificate.

  The communication processing unit 56 communicates with the server 10, transmits the identification information read by the reading unit 53 to the server 10, and receives image data corresponding to the identification information. In addition, the communication processing unit 56 notifies the server 10 of an image for which the user has purchased the download right of the image data.

  The printer 57 is a high-resolution color printer such as a sublimation type or an ink jet type, and prints image data on photographic paper and outputs it based on the contents of the order. The printer 57 is accommodated in the housing 50. A plurality of printers 57 may be installed. As shown in FIG. 7, a transparent opening / closing door 50 </ b> B is provided on the front side of the housing 50 so as to be opened and closed. On the back side of the opening / closing door 50B, there is provided a stacking unit (not shown) in which printed products printed by the printer 57 are stacked. When the opening / closing door 50B is opened, the printed products stacked in the stacking unit can be taken out. It is like that.

  The storage unit 55 includes a main memory and a hard disk drive that stores a control program and an order processing program. The CPU 54 functions as a control unit 54A that controls the operation of each unit of the order receiving terminal 5 by executing a control program. Further, when the CPU 54 executes the order processing program, the control unit 54A creates an order screen and displays it on the first touch panel 51A and the like, so that the order receiving process and the billing process for the printed matter and the image data can be performed.

  The sales process of the printed matter and the data download right using the order receiving terminal 5 will be described with reference to the timing chart shown in FIG.

  The user who has finished the photo rally holds a participation certificate over the reading unit 53 of the order receiving terminal 5. The reading unit 53 reads identification information from the barcode or two-dimensional code printed on the participation certificate (step S101).

  The communication processing unit 56 notifies the server 10 of the identification information read in step S101 (step S102).

  When the server 10 receives the identification information from the order receiving terminal 5, the server 10 searches the storage unit 15, extracts a plurality of photographed image data corresponding to the identification information, and transmits it to the order receiving terminal 5 (steps S103 and S104).

  When receiving the image data from the server 10, the order receiving terminal 5 creates an order screen as shown in FIG. 10, and displays a thumbnail image 60 obtained by reducing the image data on the first touch panel 51A (or the second touch panel 51B). Then, a print order and a data purchase order are accepted (steps S105 and S106).

  If the image data is large and cannot be displayed on one screen, the page switching button 61 is pressed (contacted) to switch pages, the scroll bar 62 is operated, or the first touch panel 10A is flicked on the screen. By performing the operation, the thumbnail images 60 for all the image data can be confirmed.

  An enlargement button 63 is provided at the side of the thumbnail image 60, a print number increase / decrease button 64 for designating the number of prints of the image is provided at the lower portion, and purchase or download of image data of the image is provided at the upper portion. A data purchase button 65 for selecting is provided.

  When the enlarge button 32 is pressed, the thumbnail image can be enlarged and displayed. When the print number increase / decrease button 34 is pressed, the number of prints for each image can be designated and a print order can be entered.

  When the data purchase button 65 is pressed, a data purchase order for this image can be entered. The purchase of image data may be in units of images or in units of shooting locations. In the case of the shooting location unit, when the data purchase button 65 for one image is pressed, data purchase is selected for all images having the same shooting location based on the shooting location specifying information. For example, the data purchase button 65 of all images having the same shooting location is switched to the display “purchased”.

  As shown in FIG. 11, thumbnail images 60 may be displayed grouped for each shooting location. By using such an order screen, it is easier to understand that image data is purchased in units of shooting locations. A plurality of image data associated with the same shooting location specifying information can be collected together to receive a data purchase order.

  When the user completes the order, the user presses the order content confirmation button 66. When the user confirms the contents of the order and inserts money, the charging unit 52 performs a charging process, and counts the inserted money, dispenses change, prints a receipt, etc. (step S107).

  The control unit 54A transfers the image data to the printer 57, and prints the image data based on the order contents (step S108). The user receives the output printed matter.

  The communication processing unit 55 notifies the server 10 of the image for which data has been purchased (step S109). For the notified image, the server 10 sets a flag on the image data in the storage unit 15 and sets it as downloadable data.

  A user accesses the server 10 using a user terminal such as a smartphone or a PC, and requests image data (step S110). For example, the URL of the image data download site (and the two-dimensional code indicating the URL) is described in the photo rally participation certificate, and the user accesses the server 10 from this URL. This URL includes identification information for identifying the user, and the server 10 can acquire the identification information of the accessing user.

  When the image data is purchased, the order receiving terminal 5 may output a printed matter describing the URL. The order receiving terminal 5 may notify the server 10 of the printed URL.

  The server 10 searches the storage unit 15 and extracts image data that can be downloaded from the image data of the accessing user (step S111).

  The server 10 creates an image data download screen. When the user gives a download instruction from the download screen, the server 10 transfers the image data to the user terminal (step S112).

  As described above, the order receiving terminal 5 can purchase the printed matter of the image taken by the photo rally and the image data.

  When purchasing image data, a password for downloading may be set. The order reception terminal 5 notifies the server 10 of the password input by the user. When accessed from the user terminal, the server 10 requests input of a password, and collates the input password with the password set by the user at the time of data purchase.

  Further, when the image data is purchased, the number of times the image data can be downloaded, the region, and the date (time zone, etc.) may be set. The order reception terminal 5 notifies the setting content to the server 10. The server 10 compares the date and time accessed from the user terminal, the location information acquired from the access source determination of the access analysis, and the contents set by the user when purchasing the data, and determines whether or not the image data can be downloaded.

  In the order screens shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, an image to be printed and an image to be downloaded (image group) are selected. However, by selecting the image as a set sale of the printed material and the image data, the printed material is selected. And purchase instructions for both image data and image data.
