“See FIG. 11D” transferred to the combining RAM 36 and displayed on the display unit 19 (steps B9a → B10a, B
11, B12).

Here, for example, as shown in FIG.
Even if the point is moved from point to point d as appropriate, if the mouse click key 24 remains off, the selected similar contour pattern (A-33) is not changed to another different pattern. In order to obtain a contour pattern with a wider cheek than the similar contour pattern (A-33) having a flat jaw displayed on the display unit 19, FIG.
As illustrated in FIG.
The upper vector cursor is moved to point a to turn on the click key 24, and further, as shown in FIG.

Then, based on the moving direction (right) and the moving distance (Y) of the vector cursor associated with the operation of the mouse click key 24, the distance to the right from the similar contour pattern (A-33) in the group of contour patterns A is determined. It is determined that there is a similar outline pattern (A-34 in this case) in which the degree of cheek extension has been expanded in response to Y, and the corresponding rightwardly changing outline part pattern (A-34) is read out.
“See FIG. 12B” transferred to the combining RAM 36 and displayed on the display unit 19 (steps B9b → B10b, B
11, B12).

Thus, a similar contour pattern (A-3) having a desired face length and a desired cheek tension having a flat jaw is obtained.
When “OK” key 17 is operated when 4) is selected, the pattern number (A) of the selected similar contour pattern is operated.
−34) is stored in the montage RAM 34 as montage data corresponding to the desired contour of the montage (steps B13 → B15).

When the mouse cursor on the display unit 19 is moved to any of the diagonally upper right, diagonally upper left, diagonally lower right, and diagonally lower left in response to the on / off operation of the mouse click key 24, In the same manner as above, the moving direction and the moving distance of the mouse cursor are determined and measured, and the distance in the oblique direction accompanying the cursor movement from the similar contour pattern (for example, A-33) currently selected in the group of contour patterns A. A similar contour pattern (in this case, A-24, A-22, A-44, or A-42) in which both the face length and the cheek tension are changed corresponding to is selected and displayed on the display unit 19. (Steps B3 to B5 → B7c to B10c, B11, B1
2).

On the other hand, for example, as shown in FIG.
The vector cursor is not moved while the first type of contour pattern area in the part pattern ROM 33, that is, the similar contour pattern (A-34) in the contour pattern group A (see FIG. 3) having a flat jaw is selectively displayed. When the mouse click key 24 is turned on / off,
As shown in FIG. 3 (B), a second type of contour pattern area, that is, a similar contour pattern (B-34) at the same position in the group of contour patterns B having a round jaw (see FIG. 4) is selected and displayed. 19 (steps B3 to B3).
6, B11, B12).

As shown in, for example, FIG. 13B, a second type of contour pattern area in the part pattern ROM 33, that is, a similar contour pattern in a group of contour patterns B having a circular jaw (see FIG. 4). When the mouse click key 24 is turned on / off without moving the vector cursor in a state where (B-34) is selected and displayed, as shown in FIG. 13C, a third type of contour pattern area, that is, A similar contour pattern (C-34) at the same position in the contour pattern group C having a triangular jaw (see FIG. 5) is selected and displayed on the display unit 19 (step B13 →).
B3 to B6, B11, B12).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14, for example, in a state where the standard contour pattern (A-23) in the contour pattern A group is selected and displayed, the vector on the display unit 19 is slightly extended to slightly lengthen the face. When the cursor is moved from point a to point c in the downward direction, when the mouse click key 24 is turned on / off, a similar outline pattern corresponding to the downward movement distance is included in the outline pattern A group. If there is not, based on the two similar contour patterns (A-23) and (A-33) selected corresponding to the points a and b vertically adjacent to each other with respect to the movement position c. A new similar contour pattern corresponding to the cursor movement is obtained by the interpolation processing (steps B3 to B5 → B7a).
~ B9a → B14).

That is, in the interpolation processing (FIG. 10),
For example, as shown in FIG. 14, based on the actual moving position (point c) of the vector cursor, two points (points a and b) adjacent to the moving direction before and after (vertical direction) are selected. The two similar patterns (A-23, A-33) are read from the part pattern ROM 33 (step C).
1).

Then, the two similar patterns (A-2
(3, A-33), from the coordinate positions of the bitmaps constituting each of them, a coordinate position corresponding to the intermediate point is obtained by an interpolation operation, and a new position is formed corresponding to the coordinate position obtained by the interpolation operation. Similar patterns are stored and stored in the interpolation RAM 35 as interpolation data,
And is displayed on the display unit 19 (step C2,
C3, B11, B12).

Here, for example, when the "OK" key 17 is operated with a new similar contour pattern obtained by the above-mentioned interpolation processing as a desired contour pattern, the montage RAM
In the storage area 34 for the contour pattern number, an address number indicating the new similar contour pattern stored in the interpolation RAM 35 is stored (step B).
13, B15).

That is, if the mouse click key 24 is turned on / off without moving the vector cursor on the display unit 19, different types of contour pattern groups (A, B, C,...) Stored in the part pattern ROM 33 are stored. ) Is selected, and when the mouse click key 24 is turned on / off as the vector cursor on the display unit 19 is moved up, down, left, right, or diagonally, the current selection is made. In the group of contour patterns of the same kind as the contour pattern that is present, the contour pattern to be selected is changed according to the moving direction and the moving distance of the vector cursor, or a new contour pattern is obtained by the interpolation processing. Similar contour patterns with slightly different expressions, such as lengthening or shortening the length of the cheeks or expanding or shrinking the cheek tension Easily it comes to be selected.

When the desired contour pattern is selected and stored in the montage RAM 34,
The standard hairstyle pattern (A-23) in the first type of hairstyle pattern group A in the part pattern ROM 33 is read and displayed, and the hairstyle selection process according to the same vector cursor moving operation is started. Thereafter, in all of the eye selection processing, the nose selection processing, and the mouth selection processing, a pattern selection processing is performed in accordance with the operation of moving the vector cursor in the same manner as described above, whereby a desired face montage is created, and the montage data is stored in the montage data. It is stored and registered in the RAM 34.

The above parts (contour, hairstyle, eyes,
In the process of selecting a similar pattern for each nose and mouth, the operation of moving the vector cursor is performed by using the eight-direction cursor keys 16a to 16c.
16h may be used. In this case, the moving distance of the vector cursor is determined by the cursor keys 16a to 16a.
It is measured according to the number of operations for 6 h.

Therefore, according to the electronic organizer equipped with the montage display device having the above-described configuration, a plurality of types of part patterns are stored for each of the parts constituting the face, and the part patterns are stored in correspondence with the respective part patterns. A part pattern ROM 33 that stores a plurality of similar pattern groups in a table is provided, and the type of a part pattern in each part is selected according to, for example, an on / off operation of a mouse click key 24. Is selected in response to, for example, a movement operation of a vector cursor on the display unit 19 on which the selected part is displayed. Therefore, even if there are a large number of part patterns as a whole corresponding to each part. , Part pattern type selection and similar pattern selection processing Becomes performed so the Kaiteki can be expressed in simplest selection operation to subtle pattern change.

In the above embodiment, a plurality of types of part patterns are stored for each part, and a plurality of pattern groups similar to the part patterns are stored in a table form corresponding to each part pattern. RO
M33, selecting the type of each part pattern and selecting a similar pattern in the same type of pattern group,
Although it was configured to be able to express even subtle pattern changes with relatively simple operations, for example, rather than obtaining subtle pattern changes by selecting similar patterns in the above-prepared pattern group, selecting the type of parts At this stage, the part pattern displayed on the display unit 19 may be directly changed to obtain a similar pattern of the same type.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a pattern change process in a case where the electronic organizer equipped with the montage display device does not have a similar pattern group for each of various part patterns. That is, for example, in the process of selecting a contour pattern, as shown in FIG. 15 (A), when a certain type of contour pattern is selected and displayed, a pattern corresponding to the extended portion is used to expand the degree of cheek tension. A dot (point a) is designated by a vector cursor, and the vector cursor is moved to a point b according to a desired extended range, as shown in FIG.

Here, by continuing the dot coordinates corresponding to the point b in a curved pattern, a similar contour pattern partially changed in pattern can be obtained.
