[Embodiment of the invention]

 One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 is a partial block diagram, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are flowcharts for explaining the operation. Since the basic configuration in the present embodiment is the same as the above-described conventional one, the following mainly describes the differences from the conventional one with reference to FIGS.

In the present embodiment, the background image information supply means 2 stores background image information called, for example, 500 frames which are composed of still images and have different contents to which identification numbers are assigned, respectively. A storage means comprising a memory for supplying the selected frame by a predetermined key operation of an operation panel for designating the frame identification number, selecting the frame and printing the selected frame. A predetermined number (here, ten) is stored in ascending order of the number of selections selected by the key operation up to printing, and the information display means 5 identifies each of the first to tenth frames. A ranking display means for displaying the contents together with the business number and the ranking is provided.

At this time, the supply of the selected frame from the background image information supply unit 2 is substantially performed by the control unit described above. In other words, the key operated by the user is determined by the control means, the frame of the specified identification number is read from the storage means of the background image information supply means 2 and supplied to the synthesizing means 3. It is.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the ranking display means 50. A frame selected by a predetermined key operation up to printing is represented by a file name of the identification number together with the cumulative number of selections and background image information. A first storage means 51 including a rewritable nonvolatile memory for storing as a file is provided. Here, each frame is stored in the first storage means 51 with the same file name as each identification number in order to simplify the comparison work of the comparison means described later.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the ranking display means 50 includes, from the background image information file stored in the above-mentioned first storage means 51, the ten most frequently selected frames in descending order. Only, a second storage means 52 comprising a rewritable nonvolatile memory or the like for storing the identification number and the number of selections as the first to tenth ranking files is provided.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the ranking display means 50 stores each ranking file stored in the second storage means 52 and a background image information file selected by a predetermined key operation until printing. Comparing means 53 for comparing the number of selections with the background image information file selected by a predetermined key operation as a result of the comparison by the comparing means 53. This background image information file is replaced as a ranking file of the ranking file, and rewriting means 54 for organizing each ranking file stored in the second storage means 52 is provided. Each ranking file is read from the second storage means 52 before the Output means 55 is provided for outputting to the information display means 5 to display the contents together with the separate number and the rank.

A detailed function of the comparison means 53 will be described. An identification number of a background image information file selected by a predetermined key operation until printing, that is, an identification number which is a file name of the background image information file Is determined to match any of the identification numbers in the first to tenth ranking files. If not, the number of selections of the selected background image information file and the highest number in each ranking file are determined. The number of times of selection of the lower 10th ranking file is compared, and if they match, the number of times of selection of the selected background image information file is the same as the identification number of this background image information file. The ranking file is compared with the number of times the ranking file is selected.

On the other hand, if the number of times of selection of the selected background image information file exceeds the number of times of selection of the lowest ranking tenth file as a result of the comparison by the comparing means 53, the rewriting means 54 newly selects the background image information file. The selected background image information file is replaced with the lowest ranking tenth ranking file, and the number of times of selection of the selected background image information file is the same as the identification number of this background image information file (for example, the third ranking file). If the number of times of selection of the ranking file (for example, the second ranking file) higher than the ranking file (for example, the second ranking file) is exceeded, the rankings (for example, the second and third rankings) of these ranking files are exchanged, and The first to tenth ranking files stored in the storage means 52 are arranged.

The output means 55 is controlled by the control means, and the first to tenth ranking files stored in the second storage means 52 are read out by the output means 55 and output to the information display means 5. The information display means 5 monitors the images of the frames of the first to tenth ranking files together with their respective identification numbers and ranks as a demonstration screen before coins are inserted into the coin receiving means 8. Has become. At this time, for example, images of two frames are sequentially displayed on the same screen for a predetermined time, such as several seconds, from the top.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, in addition to the ranking display means 50, the first to tenth ranking files stored in the second storage means 52 are displayed for a predetermined period (for example, one month). ) A third storage means 60 comprising a rewritable non-volatile memory or the like to be held, and the output means 55 reads out each of the ranking files held in the third storage means 60 and outputs the respective identification numbers. The content is output to the information display means 5 to be displayed together with the ranking. At this time, the third storage means 60 has m (m = 1, 2, 3,..., 12) month ranking files, and the first to tenth rankings of the month are stored in these monthly ranking files. Remember the file.

Next, basic operations up to print reproduction will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

Now, as shown in FIG. 2, a predetermined coin is inserted into the coin accepting means 8, each part is activated and controlled by the control means, and the key operation of the operation panel 6 is performed by the user, and the identification key is used. When the frame with the number N is selected and printing is instructed (step S1), it is determined whether or not the background image information file having this identification number N as a file name is in the first storage means 51. If the result of this determination is NO, the frame of the identification number N is newly stored in the first storage means 51 together with the number of times of selection as a background image information file having the identification number N as a file name. Is performed (step S3).

On the other hand, if the decision result in the step S 2 is YES, since the background image information file having the file number with the identification number N is already stored in the first storage means 51, the identification number “1” is added to the number of times the background image information file having the file name N is selected (step S4).

Subsequently, after the processing of steps S 3 and S 4, the process moves to step S 5, where the first to tenth ranking files of the second storage means 52 are opened (step S 5), and these are It is determined whether or not the identification numbers of the first to tenth ranking files match the identification number N which is the file name of the background image information file selected in the above-described processing of step S1 ( Step S6).

If the result of the determination in step S 6 is NO, that is, if the frames do not match, it is determined that the frame with the identification number N is not included in the ranking file. It is determined whether or not the number of times is greater than the number of times of selection of the tenth ranking file of the tenth rank among the ranking files (step S7), while if the determination result of step S6 is YES, that is, the values match. It is determined that the frame of the identification number N selected this time is already included in the ranking file. Therefore, the number of selections of the selected background image information file is the same as that of the background image information file. Ranking file higher than the ranking file (for example, third ranking file) It is determined whether or not the number is larger than the number of times of selection of the second ranking file) (step S8).

If the decision result in the above step S7 is YES, the frame with the identification number N is replaced and arranged as the tenth ranking file (step S9), and the decision result in step S7 is NO. That is, unless the number of times of selection of the background image information file having the selected identification number N as a file name is greater than the number of times of selection of the tenth ranking file at the lowest order, the ranking file is not rearranged ( Step S10).

If the decision result in the step S8 is YES, the rankings (for example, the second place and the third place) of these two ranking files are exchanged and arranged (step S11), and the decision result in the step S8 is changed. If NO, that is, if the number of selections of the background image information file having the selected identification number N as the file name does not exceed the number of selections of the ranking file having the same identification number N, the process proceeds to step S10 described above to rank. No files are organized.

Further, after the processing of each of steps S9, S10, and S11, the process proceeds to step S12 in any case, and the frame of the selected identification number N and the captured still image of the user are combined. After the print reproduction (step S12), the operation ends.

Next, the ranking display operation performed by the third storage means 60 before a predetermined period (here, one month) will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. FIG. 3 shows a case where the contents of the ranking are updated at the beginning of each month (1st day).

Now, when the power of the apparatus is turned on, as shown in FIG. 3, the date when the power is turned on is set to m month and n day (m: an integer from 1 to 12, n: an integer from 1 to 31). (Step S21), it is determined whether or not n is “1” (Step S22). If the result of this determination is YES, the first to the first stored in the second storage means 52 are stored. The ten ranking files are opened (step S23).

Subsequently, in the m-month ranking file provided in the third storage means 60, the identification number of each ranking file and the number of selections of each ranking file in the second storage means 52 opened in step S23, and the number of selected frames. The contents are written (step S24), and the data on the first to tenth frames stored in the second storage means 52 on the first day of the month of m is stored in the third storage means 60 in the m-month ranking. It is stored as a file and kept for one month.

Thereafter, when the result of the determination in step S22 is NO, the process proceeds to step S25, where the previous month ranking file in the third storage means 60 is opened, and the contents are output by the output means 55 together with the identification number and the ranking. The data is read (step S25), the read data is output from the output means 55 to the information display means 5, and the first to tenth frames of the previous month are displayed on the monitor together with their identification numbers (step S26). Then, the power of the apparatus is turned off (step S27), and the process returns to the start.

There are various methods for holding data by the third storage means 60 in addition to the above-described method. For example, taking one week as an example, the third storage means 60 may be used every Sunday as described above. May be updated and the ranking file stored on the previous Sunday may be displayed on the monitor for that week, or seven weekday holders from Sunday to Saturday may be provided in the third storage means 60. For example, the ranking file of the second storage means 52 at the time of power-on of each day is updated and stored by overwriting the storage data of the third storage means 60 in the day of the week holder corresponding to the previous day. Alternatively, the monitor may display the contents of the first to tenth ranking files stored in the day of the week holder corresponding to one week before that day.

As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, each time the user selects a desired frame by key operation, the selected frame is displayed along with its identification number and the number of cumulative selections in the background image information file. In the background image information file, a frame having a large number of selections is stored in the first storage means 51 as a ranking file together with its identification number and the number of cumulative selections from the first to the tenth. Each ranking file stored in the storage means 52 and stored in the second storage means 52 is updated by the comparison means 53 and the rewriting means 54 to the highest ranking file with the latest number of selections. The information is read out by the output means 55 and output to the information display means 5. The contents are displayed on the monitor together with the identification numbers and the ranks of the files.

Therefore, the above-described ranking display means 50 sequentially displays the most frequently selected frames from the first place to the tenth place, and displays the frames that are popular with the user in advance. This allows the user to always see the latest and most popular top-ranked frames, and saves the user the trouble of browsing the list and selecting frames as in the past. This is convenient.

Each ranking file stored in the second storage means 52 is always updated to the one of the retrial by the comparing means 53 and the rewriting means 54, so that the user always updates the frame of the latest high ranking. You can see.

Further, since each ranking file at a certain point in time is retained by the third storage means 60 for a predetermined period, the user can see, for example, the frame of the higher ranking one month ago or one week ago, It is convenient as a judgment material when making a selection.

As another embodiment, of the frames selected by the key operation of the operation panel 6, for example, a preset period such as December to February (winter) or June to August (summer) is set. A fourth storage means including a rewritable nonvolatile memory or the like for storing the identification number and the number of selections as a ranking file for a specific period by a predetermined number (for example, 10) in descending order of the number of selections, The output means 55 may read out each ranking file from the fourth storage means and output it to the information display means 5 to display the contents together with the respective identification numbers and ranks.

In this case, since the fourth storage means stores the top ranking files based on the cumulative number of selections during the set period, the user can, for example, store the top ranking files during a period such as winter or summer. You can see the frame.

Further, as a different embodiment, a ranking display key is separately provided on the operation panel 6, and after a coin is inserted into the coin accepting means 8, the guidance until the printing operation is performed when the ranking display key is operated is performed. The output information from the output means 55 may be displayed on the monitor by the information display means 5 as a screen. In this case, the higher ranking frames can be viewed during a series of operations up to print reproduction, and the user can refer to the selection of a desired frame.

Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the case where a plurality of operation keys are provided on the operation panel 6 has been described. However, the key image is displayed on the monitor screen and the key image is displayed by using the touch panel. Of course, by pressing a predetermined key among them, an operation corresponding to the key may be performed.

It is needless to say that the number of ranking files stored in the second storage means 52 is not limited to the tenth from the first to tenth.
