The game image shooting device in the present embodiment includes a shooting booth and an editing booth. The user shoots himself at the shooting booth. Hereinafter, the image of the subject (user) taken at the shooting booth is referred to as a "shooting image". The game image shooting device applies image correction such as skin whitening and hair gloss to the shot image at the shooting booth (hereinafter, such image correction is referred to as "pre-correction"). The game image capturing device according to the present embodiment captures not only still images but also moving images at the photographing booth. Among the photographed images, those acquired as moving images are called "photographed moving images", and those acquired as still images are called "photographed still images". In the present embodiment, a maximum of 5 sets of captured images (a set of captured moving images and captured still images) are acquired.

The pre-corrected captured image will be sent to the editing booth. At the editing booth, the user can apply any decoration such as attaching a stamp image or scribbling with a stylus pen to the photographed image (hereinafter, such decoration of the image is referred to as "decorative processing" or "editing"). The captured image that is being edited at the editing booth is called the "target image". Further, among the target images, the one in which the shooting moving image is the editing target is called the "target moving image", and the one in which the shooting still image is the editing target is called the "target still image". The edited target image is called an "edited image", and among the edited images, the edited target moving image is called an "edited moving image", and the edited target still image is called an "edited still image". In the present embodiment, since a maximum of 5 sets of captured images are acquired, a maximum of 5 sets of edited images (5 edited moving images and 5 edited still images) are generated.
In the surprise mode including "surprise shooting" described later, one edited still image corresponding to the surprise shooting is added.

The game image capturing device prints the edited still image on a sticker mount (external medium). In addition, the game image capturing device uploads the edited moving image and the edited still image to the server (external medium). The user can also download the edited image (edited moving image and edited still image) by accessing the server from a user terminal such as a smartphone.

When the user makes a reservation for use in the reception device 102, the reception device 102 executes the reception process (S10). After acceptance, the user enters the shooting booth 104. The photographing device 128 acquires a photographed image of the user (S12). At the shooting booth 104, the user can acquire a predetermined number of shot images. The captured moving image and the captured still image are acquired at the same time, and the pair of the captured moving image and the captured still image is counted as one set of captured images. In the present embodiment, usually five sets of captured images (a set of captured moving images and captured still images) are acquired. At the time of shooting, the user can select a pre-correction method from a plurality of pre-correction menus provided by the photographing device 128. The user can also select the background color of the captured image on the photographing device 128. The photographing device 128 executes pre-correction every time a photographed image is acquired. The pre-correction menu may be selected on the reception device 102 before play.

After shooting, the first shooting monitor 112 displays instruction information instructing one of the two editing booths 106. The user moves to the editing booth 106 designated by the first shooting monitor 112 among the two editing booths 106a and 106b. A captured image (target image) is transferred from the photographing device 128 to the editing device 126. The user performs decorative processing on the captured image (target image) transferred by the editing device 126 (S14).

After editing, the editing device 126 sends the edited image to the printing device 110, and the printing device 110 prints the edited image on the sticker mount (S16). Further, the editing device 126 uploads the edited image to the server 202 via the Internet 204 (S18). The user can download the edited image from the server 202 to the user terminal 206 by accessing the server 202.

Generally, it takes more time to edit than to shoot. In the game image photographing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the customer turnover rate is increased by providing two editing booths 106a and 106b (editing devices 126a and 126b) for one photographing booth 104.

As described above, the game image capturing device 100 is configured as an aggregate of the photographing device 128, the receiving device 102, the editing device 126, and the printing device 110. Each block described below shows a block for each function, not a configuration for each hardware. The same applies to the functional block of the user terminal 206 shown in FIG. 7.

The game image capturing device 100 includes a user interface processing unit 130, a data processing unit 132, a communication unit 134, and a data storage unit 136. Further, as described above, the game image capturing device 100 includes a camera 118 and a light 116.
The user interface processing unit 130 is in charge of user interface processing via the reception monitor 108, the editing monitor 120, and the like. The communication unit 134 is in charge of communication processing with the server 202 via the Internet 204. The communication unit 134 can also directly communicate with the user terminal 206 by short-range wireless communication such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark). For example, the edited image may be directly transmitted from the communication unit 134 to the user terminal 206. The data storage unit 136 stores various data. The data processing unit 132 executes various processes based on the data acquired by the communication unit 134 and the data stored in the data storage unit 136.

The user interface processing unit 130 includes an input unit 140 that accepts operation input by the user and an output unit 142 that presents information to the user.

The input unit 140 detects the user's operation input to the touch panel installed on the reception device 102, the photographing device 128, the editing device 126, and the like. The input unit 140 also detects the operation input by the stylus pen 122. The input unit 140 also detects the user ID in the reception device 102.

The output unit 142 executes various output processes such as audio output and print output in addition to displaying images on the reception device 102, the photographing device 128, the editing device 126, and the like.

The output unit 142 includes a confirmation display unit 208 and a preview display unit 210. The confirmation display unit 208 causes the first shooting monitor 112 to display a live view image (full-length image) of the user (subject) at the time of shooting. The user executes the shooting while confirming that the user is reflected in the mirror by the live view image. However, the live view image is temporarily not displayed during the surprise shooting described later. Immediately after shooting, the preview display unit 210 causes the first shooting monitor 112 to preview the shot still image. However, at the time of surprise shooting described later, the preview display of the shot still image is not performed.

The data processing unit 132 includes a shooting processing unit 144, an editing processing unit 146, a reception processing unit 148, and a print processing unit 150.
The shooting processing unit 144 controls the shooting process in the shooting booth 104. Assuming that the shooting timing is time t1, the shooting processing unit 144 records a moving image (hereinafter referred to as "first half moving image") from 1.5 seconds to 0.1 seconds before time t1 and shoots at time t1. A still image is acquired, and a moving image (hereinafter referred to as "second half moving image") is recorded again from 0.1 second to 1.5 seconds after time t1. The shooting processing unit 144 generates a shooting moving image by connecting the first half moving image and the second half moving image. The shooting processing unit 144 controls the camera 118 by transmitting a shooting start instruction and a shooting stop instruction to the camera 118. In addition, the photographing processing unit 144 causes a strobe (not shown) to emit light when acquiring a photographed still image. Since the shooting moving image does not include the acquisition period of the shot still image, in other words, the moving image at the time of strobe light emission, the strobe light emission is not reflected.

According to the user's selection, the shooting processing unit 144 can acquire the shooting moving image before the time t1 of the shooting timing, and can continuously acquire the shooting still image after the shooting moving image is acquired.

The photographing processing unit 144 includes a lighting control unit 212 and a photographing guide unit 214. The illumination control unit 212 controls the light 116. Specifically, it controls lighting-related settings such as lighting / extinguishing of the light 116, the amount of light, and color. The shooting guidance unit 214 notifies the user of the shooting timing by instructing the output unit 142 to display the countdown and notify by voice.

The output unit 142 displays the captured image as a target image on the editing monitor 120 (capacitive touch panel). The editing processing unit 146 decorates the target image according to the operation input from the user. The reception processing unit 148 manages the payment of the play fee by the user in the reception device 102. The reception processing unit 148 guides the reserved user to the shooting booth 104 every time the shooting work is completed at the shooting booth 104. The print processing unit 150 controls printing of the edited image in the printing device 110.

The communication unit 134 includes a receiving unit 216 for receiving data and a transmitting unit 218 for transmitting data. The receiving unit 216 includes a setting acquisition unit 220. The setting acquisition unit 220 receives "setting data (described later)" for surprise shooting from the user terminal 206 or the server 202.

FIG. 7 is a functional block diagram of the user terminal 206.
When the user registers as a member on the server 202, the user can download the dedicated application software (hereinafter referred to as "member software") from the server 202. The user ID is set by the member software. The member software realizes various functions for accessing the game image capturing device 100 and the server 202 on the user terminal 206. Further, after the member registration, personal information including contact information such as an e-mail address can be registered in the server 202 via the member software.

The user terminal 206 includes a user interface processing unit 222, a data processing unit 226, a communication unit 224, and a data storage unit 228.
The user interface processing unit 222 is in charge of user interface processing via the touch panel of the user terminal 206. The communication unit 224 is in charge of communication processing with the server 202 via the Internet 204. The communication unit 224 can also directly communicate with the game image capturing device 100 by short-range wireless communication such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark). The data storage unit 228 stores various data such as setting data. The data processing unit 226 executes various processes based on the data acquired by the communication unit 224 and the data stored in the data storage unit 228.

The data processing unit 226 includes a setting registration unit 242. The setting registration unit 242 saves the setting data in the data storage unit 228 according to the input from the user. The setting data in this embodiment is a data set for defining the contents of surprise shooting, and the details will be described later.

FIG. 8 is a time chart of a shooting process process including surprise shooting.
Among the plurality of users, the representative performs reception at the reception device 102. Here, the execution user (A user) who sets up a surprise accepts as a representative of the group. When the reception is completed, the reception processing unit 148 instructs the user to enter the shooting booth 104 (hereinafter, such an instruction is referred to as "entrance guidance"). The details of the reception method for surprise shooting will be described later.

The shooting method is selected from either a "normal mode" that does not include surprise shooting and a "special mode" that includes surprise shooting. According to the reception method described later, the A user (set-up side) sets the special mode so that the R user (set-up side) does not notice. The normal mode is a general shooting mode in which five shots are shot continuously. The special mode is a shooting mode that executes surprise shooting for one shot in addition to regular shooting for five shots. Hereinafter, general shooting, which is not surprise shooting, may be referred to as "steady shooting" in the sense of distinguishing it from surprise shooting (non-steady shooting).

After the reception is completed at time t0, the shooting processing unit 144 starts the timer. A certain amount of time is secured before the start of shooting to prepare for grooming.

The R user enters the shooting booth 104 assuming the normal mode without knowing that the special mode is set by the A user. First, the first steady image is taken at time t1 after a predetermined time has elapsed from time t0. At this time, the photographing processing unit 144 acquires the photographed still image and the photographed moving image, and preliminarily corrects each of them. The pre-correction is, for example, image correction regarding skin color, lip color, hair gloss, shape of eyelashes and teardrops, and the like. The shooting guide unit 214 displays a number indicating the countdown on the first shooting monitor 112 before the steady shooting, and also outputs the countdown by voice.

After a certain period of time has elapsed, the second steady-state shooting is automatically executed at time t2. Immediately after the second shooting, the shooting processing unit 144 automatically changes the shooting conditions for the surprise shooting described later. The "shooting condition" in the present embodiment is defined as turning off the light 116 and changing the countdown method. Surprise shooting is performed when the R user is confused by the sudden turn-off of the light 116. The shooting guide unit 214 does not display the countdown at the time of surprise shooting, and notifies the countdown only by voice. By such a control method, the target person (R user) who is surprised is not noticed, and the other related persons (A user) can measure the timing of shooting. The details of the surprise shooting will be described later in relation to the following FIGS. 9 and 9.

After the surprise shooting, the shooting processing unit 144 restores the shooting conditions at time t4. At time t5, a third steady image is taken. After that, the fourth and fifth regular images are taken at time t6 and t7. At the time of steady shooting, both the shooting still image and the shooting moving image are acquired, and at the time of surprise shooting (unsteady shooting), only the shooting still image is acquired. As a result, five sets of still images and moving images corresponding to steady-state photography and one still image taken by surprise photography (non-steady-state photography) can be obtained.

In the special mode, the option fee is added to the play fee (basic fee) in the normal mode. Further, the special mode includes a first special mode and a second special mode. The option charge for the second special mode is set lower than the option charge for the first special mode. Therefore, the play fee increases in the order of the normal mode, the second special mode, and the first special mode. By using coupons provided by stores, etc., you can also receive discounts on optional charges or free services.

FIG. 9A is a time chart showing a surprise shooting process in the first special mode.
At time u0 immediately after the second steady-state shooting is performed at time t2, the shooting processing unit 144 automatically changes the shooting conditions. In the present embodiment, the lighting control unit 212 darkens the photographing booth 104 by turning off the light 116. The shooting processing unit 144 may also change the BGM (background music) played during shooting.

In the period V1 from the time u0 to the time u1, the preview display unit 210 displays the start effect screen 250 on the first shooting monitor 112 instead of the live view image (view image) (FIG. 10). On the start effect screen 250, an animation in which a plurality of balloons fly away is displayed. The start effect screen 250 is displayed as an effect for astonishing the R user as the shooting conditions are changed. User A sets in advance any one of a plurality of categories such as "birthday", "anniversary", and "thank you" as a part of the setting data. The display content of the start effect screen 250 changes according to the category selected by the user.

In the period V2 from the time u1 to the time u2, the preview display unit 210 displays the default effect screen 260 instead of the start effect screen 250 (FIG. 11). Here, since the user A has selected "birthday", the default effect screen 260 is displayed as an image depicting the birthday cake. The name of the R user can be included in a part of the default effect screen 260. The name is registered by the A user as a part of the setting data. At time t3 when the default effect screen 260 is being displayed, the shooting processing unit 144 executes a surprise shooting and acquires a shooting still image.
Hereinafter, the still image taken by the surprise shooting is referred to as a "surprise shot image". An image obtained by editing a surprise photographed image is called a "surprise edited image".

As described above, during steady shooting, the shooting guide unit 214 causes the first shooting monitor 112 to display a number indicating a countdown in order to notify the shooting timing. In addition, the shooting guide unit 214 outputs the countdown by voice. On the other hand, at the time of surprise shooting (unsteady shooting), the shooting guide unit 214 only counts down by voice and does not display the countdown. This is to prevent the R user from holding up by performing the countdown display. If the shooting timing is not notified at all, it will be difficult for the A user on the setting side to recognize the timing of the surprise shooting. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the countdown is notified only by voice at the time of surprise shooting. Before and after the surprise shooting, the A user may make a surprise other than the shooting, such as giving the R user a hidden present.

In the period V3 from the time u2 to the time t4, the preview display unit 210 displays the original message screen 270 instead of the default effect screen 260 (FIG. 12). The user A creates an original message screen 270 including a photo, a message, and a background image in advance as a part of the setting data. The A user selects or edits the background image of the original message screen 270 by the background selection unit 234, and inputs a message to the R user by the message input unit 236 to create the original message screen 270 on the user terminal 206. .. By displaying the original message screen 270 during the surprise shooting, it is possible to provide a pleasant surprise to the R user. The A user can make an original device for celebrating the R user by using the original message screen 270.

The photograph included in the original message screen 270 may be, for example, a photograph of the A users, or a photograph of memories taken in the past including the A user and the R user. Further, in the period V3, the message input in advance by the A user may be output by voice to the output unit 142. For example, the A user may register a word of congratulations or gratitude to the R user as a voice message as a part of the setting data, and the output unit 142 may reproduce the voice message during the period V3. At time t4, the shooting processing unit 144 restores the shooting conditions, and thereafter, the remaining three regular shots are executed.

At the time of steady shooting, as described above, the confirmation display unit 208 displays the live view image on the first shooting monitor 112. The user can shoot while checking his / her appearance with the live view image. On the other hand, at the time of surprise shooting, the start effect screen 250, the default effect screen 260, and the like are displayed instead of the live view image, so that the user can shoot without confirming his / her appearance.

At the time of steady shooting, after shooting, the preview display unit 210 previews the shot still image on the first shooting monitor 112. Therefore, the user can confirm the captured still image every time the steady imaging is performed. On the other hand, the preview is not displayed at the time of surprise shooting. In the case of surprise shooting, it cannot be ruled out that an R user who was not ready to shoot may end up with a surprise shot image, so by not displaying a preview at the shooting booth 104, regular shooting from the next time onward will be possible. I am careful so that I can continue comfortably. Surprise shot images can only be confirmed at the time of editing. Therefore, by not displaying the surprise photographed image in the photographing booth 104, it is possible to increase the expectation for the quality of the surprise photographed image.

FIG. 9B is a time chart showing a surprise shooting process in the second special mode.
The second special mode is a service provided at a lower price than the first special mode. The start effect screen 250 in the period V1 and the default effect screen 260 in the period V2 are displayed, but the original original message screen 270 in the period V3 is not displayed. Other than that, it is the same as the first special mode.

As described above, the A user can prepare the original message screen 270 and the like based on the setting data. The setting data in the present embodiment includes a background image, a text message, and a photograph included in the original message screen 270. The setting data also includes a background image and the name of the R user when printing on the sticker mount after editing. In addition to this, various shooting conditions related to surprise shooting such as the amount of light of the light 116, turning off / on / blinking, the angle of view (wide angle / enlargement) of the camera 118, and the countdown notification method may be included in the setting data. User A can register including categories such as "birthday" in the setting data. The output unit 142 displays the start effect screen 250 and the default effect screen 260 associated with the category specified by the setting data in advance in the periods V1 and V2.

Next, a method of setting a special mode including surprise shooting will be described so as not to be noticed by the R user.

FIG. 13 is a screen view of the user terminal 206 when the user ID is displayed.
User A registers as a member in advance and downloads the member software. The A user (member) causes the user terminal 206 to display the two-dimensional code 280 indicating the user ID according to the instruction to the member software. The user holds the two-dimensional code 280 over the reception device 102. The reception processing unit 148 reads the two-dimensional code 280 by a camera (not shown) included in the reception device 102, and recognizes the user ID of the A user. The transmission unit 218 of the game image capturing device 100 transmits the recognized user ID to the server 202, and the reception unit 216 acquires the user's personal information from the server 202. As described above, in the server 202, the user ID and the personal information are registered in advance in association with each other.

FIG. 14 is an input screen view of the connection code.
The reception processing unit 148 always displays a 4-digit connection code at the lower right of the reception monitor 108. The connection code is an ID that identifies the game image capturing device 100. After having the user ID read, the user A inputs the connection code in the code input area 282 and touches the connection button 284. At this time, the user terminal 206 and the game image capturing device 100 are connected by Wi-Fi (registered trademark). After connecting the game image capturing device 100 and the user terminal 206, the user A selects a normal mode or a special mode on a selection screen (not shown). The user terminal 206 transmits the selected shooting mode to the game image shooting device 100. When the special mode is selected, either the first special mode or the second special mode is also selected. User A pays the play fee by cash or electronic money.

FIG. 15 is a setting data selection screen.
When the special mode is selected, the user terminal 206 displays the screen shown in FIG. User A creates setting data in advance. As described above, the setting data includes the background image, the message, and the photograph included in the original message screen 270, as well as the background image of the sticker mount, the category, various shooting conditions related to the light 116 or the camera 118, the name of the R user, and the like. Is included. The user A creates a plurality of setting data in advance, and the setting registration unit 242 of the user terminal 206 stores the setting data in the data storage unit 228.

User A selects the setting data to be applied from a plurality of setting data created and saved in advance. In FIG. 15, a setting button 286a indicating the setting data created for the birthday of “Akiko” and a setting button 286b indicating the setting data created for the birthday of “Fuyuko” are displayed. User A selects either the setting button 286a or the setting button 286b. The transmission unit 238 of the user terminal 206 directly transmits the setting data corresponding to the selected setting button 286 to the game image capturing device 100 by short-range wireless communication, and the setting acquisition unit 220 of the game image capturing device 100 transmits the setting data. Receive.

When transmitting the setting data, the reception monitor 108 does not display at all that the setting data is being transmitted. This is because the R user does not notice that a surprise is set.

FIG. 16 is a screen view after the transmission of the setting data is completed.
After the transmission of the setting data is completed, the transmission unit 218 of the game image capturing device 100 transmits the reception completion notification to the user terminal 206 of the A user. When the output unit 232 of the user terminal 206 receives the reception completion notification, the completion notification 288 is displayed on the screen to notify the user A that the transmission of the setting data is completed. In addition, in order to prevent the R user from noticing the surprise, the reception monitor 108 does not display any information regarding the completion of transmission.

After the transmission is completed, the photographing processing unit 144 prepares for the special mode according to the set data. Hereinafter, such preparation is referred to as "surprise preparation processing". When the first special mode is selected, the start effect screen 250, the default effect screen 260, and the original message screen 270 are generated according to the setting data, and preparations for setting various shooting conditions are also performed. When the second special mode is selected, the start effect screen 250 and the default effect screen 260 are generated according to the designated category, and various shooting conditions are set and prepared. After the surprise preparation process is completed, the reception processing unit 148 displays an entry guide to the shooting booth 104.

If the R user does not notice that the A user has entered the connection code and transmitted the setting data, the R user will enter the shooting booth 104 without expecting that the surprise shooting will be performed.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a reception processing process of the game image capturing device 100.
At the time of reception, when the normal mode is selected (N in S20), the reception processing unit 148 guides the entry into the shooting booth 104 (S30). When the special mode is selected, that is, when the surprise is executed (Y in S20), the setting acquisition unit 220 receives the setting data from the user terminal 206 (S22).

When the setting data can be received (Y in S24), the shooting processing unit 144 performs a surprise preparation process according to the setting data (S26). On the other hand, when the reception of the setting data fails, or when the setting data cannot be received within the predetermined time (N in S24), the shooting processing unit 144 receives the setting data prepared in advance for the time of the transmission failure (hereinafter referred to as the setting data). , "Regular setting data") to make simple settings (S28). In the simple setting, the original message screen 270 is not displayed. Even if the reception of the setting data fails, there is a mistake that the surprise cannot be executed even though the surprise shooting is set by performing a simple surprise preparation process based on the specified setting data saved in advance by the game image capturing device 100. Measures are taken to prevent it from occurring. After the completion of the surprise preparation, the process shifts to the guidance display of S30.

In the present embodiment, the reception processing unit 148 delays the timing of entering the room when the special mode is selected as compared with the case when the normal mode is selected. For example, when the normal mode is selected (N in S20), the entrance guidance to the shooting booth 104 is given 10 seconds later, and when the special mode is selected (Y in S20), the entrance to the shooting booth 104 is performed 15 seconds later. You may give guidance. When the special mode is selected, it is necessary to reserve time for the surprise preparation process. When the special mode is selected, the time required for the surprise preparation process is secured by delaying the timing of the entry guidance. In the special mode, it is not always necessary to delay the timing of the entry guidance as in the normal mode. For example, the timing of the entry guidance may be delayed on condition that the surprise preparation process executed when the special mode is selected takes a predetermined time or more.

FIG. 18 is a screen view of the editing screen 160.
The editing processing unit 146 creates graphic data for the editing screen 160, and causes the output unit 142 to display the editing screen 160. The edit screen 160 is displayed on the edit monitor 120. In FIG. 18, the target image including the two users 170a and 170b is the editing target. The editing processing unit 146 divides the editing screen 160 into a first editing area 162a (first editing screen) and a second editing area 162b (second editing screen). A first image display area 166a and a second image display area 166b are set in the first editing area 162a and the second editing area 162b, respectively. Two editing monitors 120 may be provided separately corresponding to the first editing area 162a and the second editing area 162b. Target images are individually displayed in the first image display area 166a and the second image display area 166b. On the edit screen 160, the two users 170a and 170b can individually decorate the two target images.

In FIG. 18, the user 170a decorates the target image displayed in the first image display area 166a. The user 170b will be described as decorating the target image displayed in the second image display area 166b. Since the editing monitor 120 is a capacitive touch panel, the user performs various operation inputs with the stylus pen 122 or a finger with the same operation feeling as that of a smartphone. The user 170a uses the stylus pen 122a installed on the left side of the first editing area 162a. User 170b uses a stylus pen 122b installed to the right of the second editing area 162b. The stylus pen 122a is connected to the editing device 126 via the conductive cord 172a, and the user 170b is connected to the editing device 126 via the conductive cord 172b.

In steady shooting, a maximum of 5 sets of captured images are acquired as described above. One captured image includes a captured still image and a captured moving image. The output unit 142 displays the captured still image as a target image (target still image) in the image display area 166. In the image display area 166, five target still images are displayed in an overlapping manner. The user can select the target still image to be edited by selecting the five tabs 168 (tab 168a and tab 168b). When the user touches the play button 192, the output unit 142 plays back and displays the target moving image for about 3 seconds corresponding to the target still image. The editing processing unit 146 also reflects the result of the decoration processing on the target still image on the target moving image.

The editing processing unit 146 manages the editing time limit. The output unit 142 counts down the remaining time limit in the remaining time display area 174. When the time limit expires, the editing processing unit 146 forcibly terminates the editing work. Even if the time limit has not expired, the user can forcibly terminate the editing process by touching the end button 176.

At the time of editing work, the user appropriately selects "stamp", "pen", and "character" from the decoration button 180. The output unit 142 switches the display of the decoration selection area 182 according to the selection of the decoration button 180. Since the "stamp" is selected in the first editing area 162a of FIG. 18, the output unit 142 displays various stamp images in the decoration selection area 182. The user 170a selects a stamp image from the decoration selection area 182, and pastes the stamp image at an arbitrary position in the first image display area 166a. Specifically, when the user 170a touches one of the stamp images with a finger or the stylus pen 122a and touches the pasted portion of the first image display area 166a, the editing processing unit 146 synthesizes the stamp image with the target image.

Similarly, when "pen" is selected, the user is free to draw a line with the stylus pen 122. The stylus pen 122 in this embodiment is a capacitive passive stylus. When "character" is selected, a character image prepared in advance can be pasted on the target image by the same user interface as the stamp image. When the erase button 178 is touched, the stylus pen 122 becomes an "eraser", and the stamp image, line drawing, etc. described in the image display area 166 can be erased in the manner of an eraser.

The editing monitor 120 is a projection type capacitive touch panel, and is capable of so-called multi-touch. Therefore, the user can select the decorative button 180 or the like with the left hand while holding the stylus pen 122 in the right hand and operating the stylus pen 122. Since the user can edit with both hands, efficient editing is possible. Since the efficiency of editing work leads to shortening of editing time, it is also useful for increasing the customer turnover rate.

In editing after shooting in the special mode, the output unit 142 displays the open button 190 in the center of the screen. When any user touches the open button 190, the surprise captured image is displayed as a target image in both the first image display area 166a and the second image display area 166b. At this time, the user can visually recognize the surprise shot image that was not displayed in the preview for the first time.

FIG. 19 is a screen view of the editing screen 160 after the opening button 190 is touched.
When the user touches the opening button 190, a surprise photographed image is displayed in the first image display area 166a and the second image display area 166b. Since the surprise captured image is only a still image, the play button 192 is not displayed. The user can decorate the surprise shot image with the same user interface as the target image at the time of steady shooting. After touching the opening button 190, one tab 168 is added corresponding to the surprise photographed image.

When the surprise shooting image is to be edited, the editing processing unit 146 adds an editing tool different from that when editing the shot image at the time of steady shooting. For example, when the category of surprise shooting is "birthday", one or more stamp images associated with the birthday may be added as a dedicated editing tool. In this way, stamp images may be prepared for each category. In FIG. 19, a plurality of stamp images shown in the additional stamp group 194 are added as new editing tools in the decoration selection area 182.

As described above, on the editing screen 160, editing and input can be performed with the stylus pen 122 or a finger. The editing processing unit 146 can determine whether the touch is made by the stylus pen 122 or the finger by measuring the capacitance. A decoration selection area 182 (editing tool) for inputting with the stylus pen 122 and a decoration selection area 182 (editing tool) for inputting with a finger may be provided separately. Further, even when the same stamp image is touched, the display mode (color, shape, character pose, etc.) of the stamp image may be different depending on whether the stylus pen 122 is touched or the finger is touched.

The edited image in which the target image is decorated can be output to an external medium (seal mount, external device, etc.). The print processing unit 150 can arrange and print the edited image on the sticker mount according to the background image selected by the user during editing. When the special mode is selected, the background image of the sticker mount may be specified by the setting data. Further, since the user who has registered as a member has registered an e-mail address in advance, the transmission unit 218 may send the edited image to the specified e-mail address.

The transmission unit 218 of the game image capturing device 100 may upload the edited image to the server 202 together with the user ID. The user who has registered as a member can also download the edited image from the server 202 to the user terminal 206.

The editing processing unit 146 can also turn off the decoration processing from the edited image and return to the original captured image when instructed by the user. However, the decoration process cannot be turned off from the surprise edited image. In the present embodiment, the surprise photographed image is decorated with a stamp image or pen writing, and when the editing work is completed, the surprise edited image is fixed, and the decoration processing cannot be turned off thereafter. Alternatively, for the surprise edited image, the edit / erase by the erase button 178 may be disabled.

Surprise shooting is performed when the R user's mind is not ready. Therefore, the R user may not like his / her facial expression in the surprise photographed image. It is considered that the R user may want to hide a part of the surprise photographed image with a stamp image or the like by the editing work. As for the surprise edited image, by setting it so that the concealment by the decorative processing cannot be released, the surprise photographed image "I do not like it as it is" is not left as it is. In other words, by guaranteeing an acceptable degree of decorative processing by editing work, both the enjoyment of surprise photography and respect for the privacy of R users are achieved.

The game image capturing device 100, the server 202, and the game image capturing system 200 have been described above based on the embodiments.
According to the game image shooting system 200 in the present embodiment, the A user can give the R user a "pleasant surprise" by setting a surprise shooting for the R user. In particular, by turning off the light 116 during shooting and displaying the start effect screen 250 or the like in the darkroom shooting booth 104, it is possible to convey a congratulatory message from the A user to the R user.

At the time of steady shooting, the output unit 142 notifies the user of the shooting timing by outputting the countdown as both voice and image. At the time of surprise shooting, only the countdown audio output is performed, and the counttown display is not performed. Since the countdown display is not displayed for the R user, it is difficult to understand the shooting timing. This makes it easier to capture the original facial expression of the R user who is not ready in the surprise shot image. On the other hand, the user A on the setting side can recognize the shooting timing by the audio output of the countdown.

The game image capturing device 100 of the present embodiment does not display a preview of the surprise captured image in the photographing process. Therefore, even if the surprise shot image is unsatisfactory for the R user, care can be taken not to give anxiety to the R user during the shooting. In addition, since the surprise shot image can be confirmed for the first time at the editing booth 106, it is possible to raise the expectation of what kind of surprise shot image will be immediately after the surprise shot.

In the present embodiment, the decoration process cannot be turned off (removed) from the edited image targeting the surprise photographed image. Therefore, even if the surprise photographed image is acquired with a facial expression that the R user himself does not like, the part that he does not like can be surely hidden by the decorative processing, so that the privacy and satisfaction of the user can be considered.

The user A can prepare in advance the contents of the effect of the start effect screen 250, the default effect screen 260, and the original message screen 270 as setting data. By preparing the setting data in advance and transmitting the setting data so that the R user does not notice at the time of reception, the surprise provided to the R user can be freely produced. After transmitting the setting data to the game image capturing device 100, the user A automatically executes a surprise shooting according to the setting data. Therefore, it is difficult for the R user to notice when the surprise shooting is executed.

In the present embodiment, the timing of being guided to enter the shooting booth 104 from the reception desk is set to be later when the special mode is selected than when the normal mode is selected. When the special mode is selected, delaying the entry guidance makes it easier to secure time for the surprise preparation process.

Even when the normal mode is selected, the timing of the entry guidance may be sufficiently delayed as in the special mode. In this case, it becomes more difficult for the R user to notice whether or not the mode is "special mode". On the other hand, even when the normal mode is selected, if the entry guidance is delayed, the customer turnover rate may decrease unnecessarily. Therefore, by delaying the timing of entry guidance to the extent that the R user does not notice when the special mode is selected than when the normal mode is selected, the two requirements of maintaining the customer turnover rate and securing the surprise preparation processing time are compatible. ing.

If the timing of the entry guidance when the special mode is selected is delayed too much, the R user may notice an abnormality, so how much the timing of the entry guidance should be delayed depends on the user. The optimum set value may be determined by a questionnaire or the like.

As the special mode in this embodiment, two types, a first special mode and a second special mode having a lower price than the first special mode, are prepared. User A may want to practice (rehearse) to surprise R user. User A may practice the surprise in the second special mode and execute the first special mode in the actual production. By preparing the second special mode, which is cheaper than the first special mode, it is possible to provide an environment in which the A user can easily practice. Of course, the second special mode, which is inexpensive, may be selected not only in practice but also in production.

When editing a surprise photographed image, the editing processing unit 146 adds a special editing tool shown as an additional stamp group 194. Therefore, the user can enjoy a special editing work peculiar only to the surprise photographed image.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment or modification, and the components can be modified and embodied within a range that does not deviate from the gist. Various inventions may be formed by appropriately combining a plurality of components disclosed in the above embodiments and modifications. In addition, some components may be deleted from all the components shown in the above embodiments and modifications.

Although it has been described that the game image capturing device 100 and the server 202 and the user terminal 206 particularly constitute the game image capturing system 200 by the game image capturing device 100 and the server 202, some of the functions of the game image capturing device 100 are It may be realized by the server 202, or a part of the functions of the server 202 may be assigned to the game image capturing device 100. Further, a third device other than the game image capturing device 100 and the server 202 may play a part of the functions of these devices. How to allocate the plurality of functions required for realizing the present invention to one or more hardware depends on the processing capacity of each hardware, the specifications required for the game image capturing system 200, and the like. It may be decided in consideration of it.

[Modification example]
In the present embodiment, it has been described that the setting data is directly transmitted from the user terminal 206 to the game image capturing device 100 by Wi-Fi (registered trademark). In addition to Wi-Fi (registered trademark), setting data may be transmitted by other short-range wireless communication means such as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and Bluetooth (registered trademark).

The user terminal 206 may store the setting data together with the setting ID and the user ID in the server 202. After having the game image capturing device 100 read the user ID from the user terminal 206 by the two-dimensional code 280, the user may transmit the set ID to the game image capturing device 100. At this time, the game image capturing device 100 may execute the surprise preparation process by receiving the corresponding setting data from the server 202.

At the time of reception, the reception processing unit 148 may display a predetermined message such as "Because shooting is being prepared, please wait a moment" on the reception monitor 108. By performing such a display, even if the surprise preparation process takes a long time, it is possible to make it difficult for the R user to notice that "surprise preparation is in progress".

In the present embodiment, it has been described that the special mode is selected in the user terminal 206. As a modification, the reception device 102 may be able to select a special mode. For example, when you want to practice surprise shooting, you may select the special mode from the reception device 102 instead of the user terminal 206.

The production of the surprise shooting may be left to the game image shooting device 100. For example, in the case of "surprise entrustment" setting, the imaging processing unit 144 may randomly select at which timing the surprise imaging is to be executed among the continuous steady imaging. Further, the image of the start effect screen 250 or the like displayed at the time of surprise shooting may be randomly selected, or the shooting conditions such as the light 116 may be randomly selected. According to such a control method, the user can approach the shooting while expecting when and what kind of surprise the game image capturing device 100 will provide.

In the present embodiment, it has been described that the shooting timing is notified by the countdown method by voice and image at the time of steady shooting, and the shooting timing is notified by the countdown method only by voice at the time of surprise shooting (unsteady shooting). In addition, the volume or sound quality of the countdown voice may be different between the steady shooting and the surprise shooting, and the character size and the character type of the countdown display may be different. For example, at the time of surprise shooting, the countdown display may be displayed on the second shooting monitor 114 instead of the first shooting monitor 112 by a relatively small and hard-to-understand number. Further, at the time of surprise shooting, the countdown may be suggested by an image expression such as shortening the fuse of the bomb instead of the numerical countdown display.

In the present embodiment, it has been described that the live view display is not displayed at the time of surprise shooting, and the start effect screen 250 and the like are displayed on the first shooting monitor 112. As a modification, the start effect screen 250 or the like may be displayed on a part of the first shooting monitor 112 or the second shooting monitor 114 while continuing the live view display on the first shooting monitor 112.

The A user may transmit the shooting conditions at the time of surprise shooting as a part of the setting data. The shooting conditions may be, for example, settings related to turning off, blinking, light intensity, and color of the light 116, or BGM and voice message at the time of surprise shooting. Alternatively, smoke, blast, explosive sound, or the like may be set as shooting conditions. Further, the shooting conditions may be settings related to the image quality of the shot image, such as a sepia color image or a monochrome image. The shooting conditions may be any conditions that define the shooting environment, shooting quality, and shooting method in the shooting booth 104.

In the present embodiment, it has been described that the surprise imaging is inserted in the middle of a plurality of continuous imagings that are continuously executed. The steady shooting may be automatically executed at regular intervals, or may be executed each time the user presses the shooting button. The shooting process ends when a predetermined number of shots, for example, five shots, have been taken.

In the present embodiment, it has been described that the original message screen 270 is displayed in the first special mode and the original message screen 270 is not displayed in the second special mode. Not limited to this, in the second special mode at a relatively low price, the output of the edited image may be limited as compared with the first special mode. For example, in the second special mode, printing of the surprise edited image may be disabled, or transmission of the surprise edited image to the user terminal 206 may be disabled. Alternatively, in the second special mode, a part or all of the stamp images shown in the additional stamp group 194 may be disabled. Even after selecting the second special mode, it may be possible to change to the first special mode by paying the difference in the play fee.

In the present embodiment, it has been described that the special stamp image (editing tool) shown in the additional stamp group 194 is added at the time of editing the surprise photographed image. When editing a surprise shot image, a dedicated stamp image may be added while the stamp image that can be used in the shot image during steady shooting is enabled, or a stamp image that can be used in the shot image during regular shooting. A special stamp image may be added after disabling a part of. Further, not only the stamp image but also the line type of the pen may be added when editing the surprise photographed image.

In the present embodiment, it has been described that only the photographed still image is acquired at the time of surprise photography, but a photographed moving image may also be acquired as a modification. For example, after acquiring a still image taken by surprise shooting, the light 116 may be turned on, and after the shooting booth 104 becomes bright, a moving image taken after surprise may be acquired for a predetermined time.

In the present embodiment, it has been described that when the reception of the setting data fails, the surprise preparation process is executed based on the specified setting data (see FIG. 17). As a modification, when the reception of the setting data fails, the shooting processing unit 144 may change to the normal mode instead of the special mode and execute the shooting process. In this case, the reception processing unit 148 may refund all or part of the play fee to the user.

In the present embodiment, it has been described that the decorative processing cannot be turned off for the edited image at the time of surprise shooting. The term "impossible to turn off" as used herein may mean that all decorative processes cannot be turned off, or that some decorative processes cannot be turned off. For example, the editing processing unit 146 identifies predetermined parts such as eyes and mouth by recognizing a surprise photographed image, and cannot turn off only decorative processed objects (eg, stamp images) within a predetermined range from these predetermined parts. May be set to.

The A user may register the anniversary of the R user on the user terminal 206. For example, if July 5 is the birthday of an R user (friend), the output unit 232 may display a reminder when the birthday is approaching. When the A user recognizes the reminder display, the A user may invite the R user to celebrate by surprise shooting with the game image capturing device 100. By having such a reminder function, the user can prepare the setting data for various anniversaries and surely celebrate other users on the anniversary.
