Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] The present invention is a system for printing an original photo sticker by image composition by a paid self-service method. [Configuration] The present invention has a settlement machine, the camera operates by inputting an effective amount of money, the input image is stored in the main body,

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a photo sticker / print system having a payment function and a video composition function.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, in order to make a photo sticker, it is general to make it by using a photo developing technique. In other words, the user takes the negative of the photo that he / she wants to use as a sticker at the DPE shop and requests the photo development. Also, it depends on the negative of the photo.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, from the user's point of view, it is troublesome, time consuming, and very inconvenient. Moreover, since a sticker is created based on a photograph, it is not possible to connect a composite sticker with another image. In view of such a point, the present invention allows a user to put a predetermined amount of money and perform a simple operation by himself to easily attach a photo sticker. In other words, when a user wants to make a sticker, he or she can go to the camera of this system without holding a negative and create a photo sticker within 1 minute after a predetermined operation. In addition, you can check the finished state on the monitor in advance, which can never be done by photo development, and if you are dissatisfied, you can retake it without returning money. If you are satisfied, print it out and make a photo sticker. In addition, it is to realize a photo sticker / print system with a payment function that can create a unique photo sticker by combining it with a design / image.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the present invention, a person who wants to create a sticker goes to the system and puts a predetermined amount of money into a settlement machine so that the image input by the camera is stored in the main body. However, it can be printed out as a sticker by combining with the previously stored design data. In other words, the present invention has a function of moving the entire system by inputting an effective amount of money, an image taken from the camera on the spot, stored in the main body, and combined with a plurality of prestored pattern data by the superimpose function to be the same. It is characterized by being able to print a sticker as an image.

[0005]

[Work]

 A person who uses this system deposits a predetermined amount of money into the main body's checkout machine. Only then can the body be operable. The camera operates and the image can be captured, and the user turns his / her face to the camera and presses the memory button. The image input from the camera is stored in the main unit by pressing the memory button. The user selects the image data and the multiple pattern data stored in the main body, and the same image combined by the superimpose function is printed on sticker paper by the printer.

[0006]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of a print system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a video camera for image input. 2 is a monitor for checking the input image and the composite image. 3 is a settlement machine. This system will be operated by putting money in here. 4 is a display unit for displaying the input amount. 5 is a memory button for storing the input image and the composite image inside the main body. 6 is a redo button for canceling the input image and the memory image of the composite image and enabling memory again. 7 is a print button for printing the memory image of the input image and the composite image. 8 is a background selection button for selecting the pattern data stored in the main body. Reference numeral 9 is an outlet for taking out the printed sticker, and the printer is housed inside. A control platform 10 has a settlement function, a superimpose function, etc., and controls the entire system.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a 100-yen coin slot, which is displayed on the display unit 4 when an effective amount is input. For the first time, the user can use this system. The user first selects the background to be composited in 8. Then, hold the memory button of 5 and stand in front of this system to pose for the camera of 1 and check the image on the monitor of 2 and then press the memory button of 5. Here, check the stored image on the second monitor again. If you do not like the memory image when you check the image, use the Redo button 6 to delete the memory image, and then perform the memory again. If the memory image is good, press the 7 print button. At this time, the control unit 10 issues an instruction to the printer to divide the memory image into 16 identical images, and starts printing. The memory image is printed on the sticker paper divided into 16 frames in advance, and after about 1 minute the printing is completed, and the sticker printed on the 9 outlet is ejected. At the same timing, the displayed amount of money goes out and the operation of the entire system ends.

The image input camera 1 is mainly used to input the face of the user who uses the system, but it is possible to input any object such as a photograph, a picture, or a product as an image from the camera. it can. Also, in the above description, a 16-frame sticker print was explained, but by changing the type of print paper, it is possible to make a 1-sided or 4-sided sticker as well as a postcard or the like.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, since the composite photo sticker / print system with the payment function of the present invention is a self-service method with the payment function added, it is easy and quick to create a photo sticker that was conventionally created at a DPE shop. It will come to you. In addition, it is possible to create original photo stickers by combining photos with the superimpose function.
