  If it is determined in step S32 that shooting is not instructed, the process proceeds to step S33, and the control unit 101 determines whether or not the shooting standby time has elapsed for the set time. For example, the shooting standby time in the first process of step S33 indicates the time after the start of the process of step S31, and the shooting standby time in the second and subsequent processes of step S33 is the process of step S36 described later. This is the time after the shot image is saved. That is, the time for shooting one image is the shooting standby time. The set time is a time set in advance for shooting one image, and is, for example, 10 seconds. In the case of this example, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the shooting standby time has elapsed for 10 seconds. If it is determined in step S33 that the shooting standby time has not elapsed by the set time, the process returns to step S31, and the subsequent processes are repeated. That is, the live view display correction process is executed until shooting is commanded or until the shooting time has elapsed for the set time.

  If it is determined in step S32 that shooting has been commanded, or if it is determined in step S33 that the shooting standby time has elapsed by the set time, the process proceeds to step S34, and the control unit 101 counts down. For example, the control unit 101 sequentially displays messages such as “3”, “2”, “1”, “0” on the image display unit 22, or simultaneously displays the messages on the image display unit 22 on the speaker 105. , “3”, “2”, “1”, “0”, and the like are output so that the countdown is performed.

  In step S35, the control unit 101 captures the live view corrected image displayed on the image display unit 22 as a still image. Specifically, the live view image captured and displayed by the camera 21 by the process of step S31 described above is corrected by the correction processing unit 107 based on a command for correcting the live view image from the user, and the live view image is displayed. Since it is displayed on the image display unit 22 as a corrected image, the control unit 101 performs the live view correction image (moving image) displayed on the image display unit 22 at the timing (shooting timing) when the countdown in step S32 becomes zero. Image) as a still image. Note that the control unit 101 may capture the live view correction image displayed on the image display unit 22 as a still image, or capture the live view correction image corrected by the correction processing unit 107 from the correction processing unit 107. May be. When correction is not performed in the live view display correction process in step S31 (when correction is not instructed in step S63 in FIG. 5 to be described later), the control unit 101 is not a live view correction image, but a live view. Import an image as a still image. Also in this case, the control unit 101 may capture a still image from the camera 21 or may capture a still image from a live view image displayed on the image display unit 22.

  In step S36, the control unit 101 saves (stores) the still image captured in step S35 (the live view correction image displayed on the image display unit 22 at the shooting timing) in the RAM 183 as a captured image. . One shot image is stored (shooting has been performed) by the processing in steps S31 to S36 thus far. That is, shooting is performed by saving the live view corrected image captured by the camera 21 and corrected by the correction processing unit 107 at a predetermined timing.

  In step S37, the control unit 101 determines whether eight captured images have been stored. For example, the control unit 101 determines this based on whether or not the processing from step S31 to step S36 has been repeated eight times. Note that the control unit 101 may determine this based on whether or not the number of photographed images stored in the RAM 183 is eight.

  If it is determined in step S37 that eight captured images have not yet been stored (that is, the number of stored captured images is less than eight), the process proceeds to step S38, and the control unit 101 performs the photographing processing time. It is determined whether or not 2 minutes have passed. The imaging process time is, for example, the time after the imaging process in FIG. 4 is started. Here, the shooting processing time is 2 minutes, but is not limited to this and may be any number of minutes.

  If it is determined in step S38 that the shooting process time has not yet elapsed for 2 minutes, or if it is determined in step S33 that the shooting standby time has not elapsed for the set time, the process returns to step S31. The subsequent processing is repeated. That is, repeated shooting is performed until eight shot images are stored or until the shooting processing time has elapsed for 2 minutes.

  If it is determined in step S37 that eight shot images have been stored, or if it is determined in step S38 that the shooting process time has passed 2 minutes, the shooting process is terminated, and the process returns to step S12 in FIG.

  The processing of FIG. 4 is summarized as follows. The live view image is corrected based on a command for correction to the (view) live view image (of the user) captured by the camera 21 from the user, and the live view corrected image is displayed. Then, the live view correction image, which is a moving image, is stored as a still image captured image at a predetermined timing (capturing timing), thereby capturing an image.

  As a result, a still image corresponding to the live view corrected image, not the live view image, can be stored as a captured image, so that the user can perform shooting while viewing the corrected image, thereby efficiently. Shooting can be performed. In addition, since the image of the correction result is stored as a captured image, the user can eliminate dissatisfaction with the captured image of the correction result. In this way, it is possible to efficiently perform shooting according to the user's preference.

  Next, an example of the live view display correction process in step S31 of FIG. 4 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This process is a process executed by each unit based on control from the control unit 101.

  In step S <b> 61, the camera 21 captures an image of the subject (user) based on the control from the control unit 101. The control unit 101 supplies the subject image captured by the camera 21 to the image display unit 22 in real time as a moving image.

  Therefore, in step S62, the image display unit 22 displays the live view display screen using the image of the subject captured by the camera 21 as a live view image (moving image). For example, the image display unit 22 displays a live view display image as shown in FIG.

  The live view display screen of FIG. 6 includes a live view image area 220, a live view image 221 displayed in the live view image area 220, a button 222 for adjusting contrast, and a button 223 for adjusting enlargement / reduction. A button 224 for adjusting the aspect ratio, a button 225 for selecting the entire live view image 221 as an image area to be corrected, and a button 226 for designating a range of an image area to be corrected from the live view image 221. A button 227 for returning the immediately preceding process and a button 241 for performing shooting are displayed. In addition, the message “Live view is being displayed” is displayed at the top of the screen.

  In the live view image area 220, a live view image 221 that is an image captured by the camera 21 and displayed as a moving image in real time is displayed. The user uses the touch pen 23 to select the button 222 to instruct contrast adjustment (correction). Specifically, by selecting the right side on the button 222, the user instructs to correct (adjust) the contrast of the image in the range of the image area to be corrected in the live view image 221, and press the button 222. By selecting the upper left side, a command is given to correct the contrast of the range of the image area to be corrected in the live view image 221 to be low.

  Further, the user uses the touch pen 23 to select the button 223 to instruct enlargement / reduction adjustment (correction). Specifically, by selecting the right side on the button 223, the user can instruct to perform correction for enlarging the image in the range of the image area to be corrected in the live view image 221. By selecting the upper left side, an instruction to reduce the image in the range of the image area to be corrected in the live view image 221 is instructed.

  Furthermore, the user instructs adjustment (correction) of the aspect ratio by selecting the button 224 using the touch pen 23. Specifically, by selecting the right side on the button 224, the user can instruct the image of the range of the image area to be corrected in the live view image 221 to be corrected horizontally. Is selected from the live view image 221, the image in the range of the image area to be corrected is commanded to be corrected vertically wide.

  In addition, the user uses the touch pen 23 to select the button 225 to instruct to select the entire live view image 221 as an image area to be corrected. Further, the user can specify the range of the image area to be corrected from the live view image 221 by selecting the button 226 using the touch pen 23. The user can select the range of the image area to be corrected from the live view image by selecting these two buttons 225 and 226.

  Furthermore, the user can return to the previous process by selecting the button 227 using the touch pen 23. For example, when the button 227 is selected after the user has selected the button 222 and the contrast of the image in the range of the image area to be corrected is corrected to be high, the contrast correction is restored and the contrast is corrected. Return to the previous image.

  The user uses the button 225 and the button 226 to select a range (part or whole) of the image area to be corrected in the live view image 221, and then selects the button 222 to 224 to select the image area. Command to correct the image in the specified range. In addition, by selecting the button 241, the user commands shooting (processing for saving a live view image as a still image at a predetermined timing).

  Returning to FIG. 5, in step S <b> 63, the control unit 101 determines whether correction is instructed by the user. For example, the control unit 101 determines whether correction is instructed based on whether any of the buttons 222 to 226 (buttons for instructing correction) is selected by the user.

  If it is determined in step S63 that correction has been commanded (for example, any of the buttons 222 to 226 in FIG. 6 has been selected by the user), the process proceeds to step S64, and the control unit 101 sets the range. It is determined whether or not designation is instructed. For example, the control unit 101 determines whether or not range designation is instructed based on whether or not the button 226 is selected by an operation through the touch pen 23 by the user.

  In step S64, when range designation is commanded (for example, when it is determined that the button 226 is selected), the process proceeds to step S65, and the control unit 101 designates a correction range. For example, the control unit 101 displays a live view display screen as shown in FIG. 7 on the image display unit 22, and performs correction range designation based on a correction range designation command. In FIG. 7, parts corresponding to those in FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted to avoid repetition.

  On the live view display screen in FIG. 7, a range designation frame 251 for selecting a range of an image area to be corrected from the live view image 221 is displayed. The user can specify the range of the image area to be corrected by changing the size of the range specifying frame 251 and moving it using the touch pen 23. Here, an example of a method for specifying the range of the image area will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the pen tip of the touch pen 23 is in contact with (or close to) the touch panel 121, the control unit 101 detects the input data supplied from the touch panel 121 and supplied via the image display unit 22. (Input data supplied from the user via the touch pen 23) is detected, and designation of the range of the image area from the user is accepted. At this time, a range designation frame 251 for selecting a part of the live view image 221 as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the image display unit 22 so as to overlap the live view image 221. The user moves the pen tip of the touch pen 23 while touching the touch panel 121, thereby designating a change in the size of the range designation frame 251 or designating movement of the range designation frame 251. For example, the user designates a change in the size of the range designation frame 251 by selecting and moving a square corner or a side of the rectangle circumscribing the range designation frame 251 in FIG. 7 with the touch pen 23. Further, the user designates the movement of the range designation frame 251 by selecting the circle on the range designation frame 251 in FIG.

  Then, as illustrated in FIG. 9, when the pen tip of the touch pen 23 is released from the touch panel 121, the control unit 101 accepts a determination to specify the range of the image area from the user.

  For example, in the state shown in FIG. 8, a square corner or a side of the rectangle circumscribing the range specifying frame 251 is selected by the touch pen 23 and moved (moved in a larger direction) (FIG. 8). When the tip is released from the touch panel 121 (FIG. 9), as shown in FIG. 10, the range designation frame 251a is changed to the size shown in the range designation frame 251b. That is, the position of the range designation frame 251 is not changed, and the size of the range designation frame 251 is changed.

  Also, for example, in the state shown in FIG. 8, the circular top of the range designation frame 251 is selected and moved (for example, moved in the upper right direction in the figure) by the touch pen 23 (FIG. 8), and the pen tip of the touch pen 23 is the touch panel. When released from 121 (FIG. 9), as shown in FIG. 11, the range designation frame 251a is moved to the position indicated by the range designation frame 251c. That is, the size of the range designation frame 251 is not changed, and the position is changed (moved).

  In this way, the correction range is determined as shown in FIG. That is, a specific part of the user is selected as the range of the image area to be corrected from the live view image 221. In FIG. 12, only the inside of the correction range of the live view image 221 (that is, a part of the live view image 221) is displayed, but actually, the live view image including an image outside the correction range. 221 is displayed as shown in FIG.

  Returning to FIG. 5, after the process of step S <b> 65, in step S <b> 66, the control unit 101 accepts a correction item designation command from the user. For example, the control unit 101 receives a designation command from the buttons 222 to 224 via the touch pen 23 from the user.

  In step S67, based on the control from the control unit 101, the correction processing unit 107 performs correction for the specification of the correction item specified in step S66 on the live view image in the specified range. For example, in the process of step S66, when the left side of the button 224, that is, when the aspect ratio is specified to be portrait, the correction processing unit 107 performs the correction to the portrait in the range specified by the process of step S65. Perform on live view images. For example, when only the face image is within the correction range as shown in FIG. 12, the correction processing unit 107 corrects the image so that the face image of FIG. That is, the correction processing unit 107 corrects the image of the specific part of the user selected as the range of the image area to be corrected from the live view image.

  If it is determined in step S64 that the range designation is not selected, that is, if it is determined that the buttons 222 to 224 in FIG. 6 are selected, in step S68, the control unit 101 performs the processing in step S66 described above. In the same manner as described above, a correction item designation command is accepted.

  In step S <b> 69, the correction processing unit 107 performs correction for the correction item designation (any one of the buttons 222 to 224) received in step S <b> 68 based on the control from the control unit 101. Perform on the view image. At this time, image correction is performed on the entire live view image 221, that is, on all images in the live view image area 220. For example, if the right side of the button 223, that is, enlargement designation is performed as the correction item designation in the process of step S68, the correction processing unit 107 performs the enlargement correction on the entire live view image 221.

  After the process of step S67 or the process of step S69, the process proceeds to step S70, and the control unit 101 updates and displays the live view image as a live view corrected image. For example, when this processing is after the processing in step S67 described above, the face image selected by specifying the correction range is corrected to be vertically long, updated as a live view corrected image, and displayed. For example, the image display unit 22 displays a live view corrected image 291 as shown in FIG. The live view corrected image 291 in FIG. 13 has a vertically long face (the cheek portion is thin) compared to the live view image 221 in FIG. That is, of the live view image 221 that is captured and displayed in real time as a moving image, an image in a correction range is corrected to be displayed vertically. By correcting the live view image 221 in this way, the image can be corrected in real time before shooting.

  If it is determined in step S63 that correction is not instructed, or after the process of step S70, the process is terminated. Thereafter, the process returns to step S31 in FIG.

  5, a live view image 221 in which a user image captured by the camera 21 is displayed as a moving image in real time is corrected based on a command from the user, and is displayed as a live view corrected image 291 in real time. can do. Further, based on the designation of the correction range in the live view image 221 from the user and the correction command, the live view image in the designated correction range is corrected based on the command from the user, and the live view corrected image is obtained. 291 can be displayed. Thus, since the corrected live view image is displayed before shooting (before the image is stored), shooting can be performed efficiently. Further, the user can eliminate dissatisfaction with the captured image as a result of the correction.

  Next, an example of the editing process in step S13 in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to the flowcharts in FIGS.

  In step S81, the image display unit 22 displays, for example, thumbnails (reduced images) of the list of photographed images stored in the RAM 183 by the process of step S36 in FIG. 4 described above based on the control from the control unit 101. At the same time, a message “Please select an image to print” is displayed.

  In step S <b> 82, the control unit 101 determines whether images are selected for the set number of sheets. Specifically, for example, the manufacturer of the photo sticker vending machine 1 stores setting information such as the number of selected images necessary for printing the sticker paper 162 in the storage unit 181 at the time of manufacture. Based on the setting information, the control unit 101 determines whether or not images corresponding to the set number of selected images have been selected. For example, when information indicating that the number of selected images is four is stored in the storage unit 181 as setting information, the control unit 101 determines whether four images have been selected. This selection is performed, for example, when the user touches the image displayed on the image display unit 22 with the touch pen 23.

  If it is determined in step S82 that the set number of photographed images have not been selected, the process advances to step S83, and the control unit 101 determines that the print image selection time (time after the processing in step S81) is the set time. It is determined whether (for example, 20 seconds) has elapsed. Specifically, the control unit 101 uses a timer (not shown) to count the print image selection time, which is the time since the start of the message “Please select an image to print” in step S81. Then, it is determined whether or not the print image selection time has passed for the set time. If it is determined in step S83 that the print image selection time has not yet elapsed for the set time (the print image selection time is equal to or less than the set time), the control unit 101 returns to step S82 and repeats the above-described processing. .

  If it is determined in step S83 that the print image selection time has elapsed for a set time (for example, 20 seconds), the process proceeds to step S84, and the control unit 101 randomly selects a set number (for example, 4) of captured images. select. Note that, when one or more images are selected by the user, the control unit 101 randomly selects a captured image as many as the set number.

  If it is determined in step S82 that the set number of photographed images have been selected, or after the processing in step S84, the process proceeds to step S85, and the image display unit 22 is based on the control from the control unit 101. A message such as “Choose an image to edit” is displayed along with a thumbnail image of the set number of images (for example, four images) selected in step S82 or step S84. At this time, the user uses the touch pen 23 to select the first image to be edited.

  In step S86, the control unit 101 accepts image editing together with image selection by the user. Specifically, the touch panel 121 detects input coordinates from the touch pen 23 and supplies the input coordinates to the control unit 101 as position information. The control unit 101 specifies the content of the operation input by the user based on the position information supplied from the touch panel 121, the GUI image displayed on the image display unit 22, the captured image to be edited, and the like. Processing (for example, processing for synthesizing graffiti (including a stamp or the like) on a captured image to be edited) is performed, and an edited image obtained as a result of the processing is reflected on the display of the image display unit 22 or the like. That is, the user can select a GUI image displayed on the image display unit 22 by using the touch pen 23 or can perform a graffiti on the captured image displayed on the image display unit 22. After accepting selection of an image to be edited by the user, the control unit 101 displays an image editing screen as shown in FIG. 16 on the image display unit 22.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image editing screen displayed on the image display unit 22. The image editing screen basically includes an editing target image area 321 and an input tool selection unit 322. The image to be edited is displayed in the image area 321 to be edited, and the input tool selection unit 322 displays buttons that are operated when selecting various input tools (writing tools). The input tool is selected by operating the touch pen 23.

  Examples of the input tool include a pen tool 323 used when writing handwritten characters and figures, a character tool 324 used when inputting set characters, and a stamp tool used when inputting the same characters and figures. 325, and an eraser tool 326 used to erase them. When the pen tool 323 is selected, a window for selecting the thickness of the pen, a pen type (for example, “crayon pen” that displays a part of a line as if it was crayoned like a crayon), A window for selecting a color (for example, a color represented by cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) is displayed. Similarly, when the character tool 324 or the stamp tool 325 is selected, a window for selecting a character or stamp is displayed. In the process of step S86 in FIG. 14, the control unit 101 accepts an editing operation from the user via the touch pen 23 on the image editing screen as shown in FIG.

  In step S87, the control unit 101 updates the captured image (data) stored in the RAM 183 in the process of step S36 in FIG. 4 to the edited image (data) obtained as a result of being received in step S86. Note that the control unit 101 may update the captured image data in real time. The control unit 101 can also store the edited image separately from the captured image so that the editing can be performed again.

  In step S88, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the editing time, which is the time since the editing process was started, has elapsed for 3 minutes. Specifically, the control unit 101 measures an editing time, which is a time after starting the editing process (time after starting the process of step S81) using a timer (not shown), and the editing time. It is determined whether or not 3 minutes have passed. If it is determined in step S88 that the editing time has not yet elapsed for 3 minutes (the editing time is 3 minutes or less), the process returns to step S86 to allow the user to edit again. At this time, for example, the user selects the second image to be edited using the touch pen 23 and edits the image. Although the editing time is 3 minutes here, it is not limited to this and may be any number of minutes.

  Prior to the processing in step S88, the control unit 101 may cause the image display unit 22 to display a GUI image of the end button and determine whether or not the end button has been selected by the user. . In this case, when it is determined that the end button has been selected by the user, the control unit 101 ends the editing regardless of the editing time, and the process proceeds to step S89 in FIG. On the other hand, if the end button has not been selected by the user, the process proceeds to step S88, and the control unit 101 performs the above-described processing.

  If it is determined in step S88 that the editing time has passed 3 minutes, the process proceeds to step S89, and the image display unit 22 displays a message “Please select the number of divisions” based on the control from the control unit 101 ( The message is not limited to this as long as it is a message prompting the selection of the number of divisions, and the message may be output by voice.

  Specifically, for example, the manufacturer of the photo sticker vending machine 1 stores a division mode (for example, 8 divisions and 16 divisions) in the storage unit 181 as setting information at the time of manufacture. The control unit 101 reads the division mode and displays it on the image display unit 22. Thereby, the user can select a favorite division mode (number of divisions) among 8 divisions and 16 divisions.

  In step S90, the control unit 101 accepts selection of a division mode by the user. In step S91, the control unit 101 saves (stores) the accepted division mode in the RAM 183, and ends the editing process. Then, the process returns to step S13 in FIG.

  Next, an example of the printing process in step S14 in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

  In step S111, the control unit 101 reads out the division mode stored in the RAM 183 in step S91 of FIG.

  In step S112, the control unit 101 controls the header unit 142, and in step S87 of FIG. 14, the edited image data (print image) stored in the RAM 183 is printed based on the division mode read in step S111. The area is allocated, and the process proceeds to step S113.

  In step S113, the control unit 101 controls the header unit 142 to print and output the edited image on the sticker sheet 162. Thus, the photo sticker paper is discharged from the sticker paper discharge port 50, and the printing process is completed. Then, the process returns to step S14 in FIG.

  In this way, the captured image is displayed as a live view image, the live view image is corrected based on a correction command from the user, displayed as a live view corrected image, and the live view corrected image is stationary at a predetermined timing. Shooting is performed by saving as an image. Then, the photographed image, which is a stored still image, is edited and printed on the sticker sheet, whereby the photographic sticker sheet is discharged.

  Next, another configuration example of the photo sticker vending machine 1 to which the present invention is applied will be described.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 18 is a block diagram illustrating an internal configuration example of the second embodiment of the photo sticker sales machine 1. In the figure, portions corresponding to those in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted because it is repeated.

  18 is compared with FIG. 2, in the configuration example of FIG. 18, in addition to the configuration example of FIG. 2, a face image recognition unit 351 and a division number setting unit 352 are further provided.

  The face image recognition unit 351 recognizes the face position of the user (subject) in the live view image obtained as a result of being captured by the camera 21. Further, the face image recognition unit 351 recognizes not only the position of the user's face in the live view image but also the position of a specific part of the user, such as the position of the eyes, the position of the eyebrows, the position of the nose, and the position of the cheek. . Further, the face image recognition unit 351 recognizes the number of subjects from the live view image. That is, the face image recognition unit 351 recognizes the number of users based on the captured image of one or more users (subjects) together with the recognition of the face. The face image recognition unit 351 can easily recognize the number of subjects by recognizing the position of the user's face from the live view image.

  The division number setting unit 352 sets the division number of the sticker sheet to be printed according to the number of subjects recognized by the face image recognition unit 351. Specifically, the division number setting unit 352 sets options for the division number to be presented to the user according to the number of subjects. For example, when the number of subjects is two, the division number setting unit 352 obtains a plurality of division numbers so that the photo sticker sheet to be output can be divided by two people, and presents the obtained plurality of division numbers to the user. Set as an option for the number of divisions. That is, based on the number of users recognized by the face image recognition unit 351, the number of divisions (options) of the sticker sheet to be printed is set.

  In the configuration of the photo sticker vending machine 1 in FIG. 18, the same processing as that of the photo sticker vending machine 1 in FIG. 2 is basically executed. In the following, processing that is executed by the photo sticker vending machine 1 of FIG. 18 and that is different from the processing executed by the photo sticker vending machine 1 of FIG. 2 will be mainly described.

  First, an example of the live view display correction process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This process is an example of a detailed process of the live view display correction process in step S31 of the photographing process in FIG. 4, which is a detailed process in step S12 in FIG. That is, the details of the live view display correction process in step S31 of FIG. 4 are explained in the case of the photo sticker sales machine 1 of FIG. This will be described with reference to the process shown in FIG. This process is a process executed by each unit based on the control from the control unit 101 in FIG.

  In step S <b> 141, the camera 21 captures an image of the subject (user) based on the control from the control unit 101. The control unit 101 supplies the subject image captured by the camera 21 to the image display unit 22 in real time as a moving image.

  In step S142, the image display unit 22 displays the live view display screen using the image of the subject captured by the camera 21 as a live view image (moving image). For example, the image display unit 22 displays a live view display screen as shown in FIG. In the figure, portions corresponding to those in FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted because it will be repeated.

  In the live view display screen of FIG. 20, in addition to the live view image area 220, the live view image 221, the button 227 for returning the immediately preceding processing, and the button 241 for performing photographing, a cheek A button 381 for narrowing the face, a button 382 for reducing the face, and a button 382 for enlarging the eyes are displayed.

  The user uses the touch pen 23 to select the button 381 to instruct the user's cheek in the live view image 221 displayed in the live view image area 220 to be thin. In addition, the user selects the button 382 using the touch pen 23 to instruct the user's face in the live view image 221 displayed in the live view image area 220 to be reduced. Furthermore, the user selects the button 383 using the touch pen 23 to instruct to enlarge the user's eyes in the live view image 221 displayed in the live view image area 220.

  Returning to FIG. 19, in step S <b> 143, the control unit 101 determines whether correction is instructed by the user (a correction item is specified). For example, the control unit 101 determines whether correction has been commanded based on whether any of the buttons 381 to 383 (buttons for commanding correction) has been selected by the user.

  If it is determined in step S143 that correction has been commanded (for example, any of the buttons 381 to 383 in FIG. 20 is selected by the user), the process proceeds to step S144, and the control unit 101 determines that the user The correction item command from is accepted. For example, the control unit 101 receives a correction command for any item among the buttons 381 to 383 via the touch pen 23 from the user.

  In step S145, the face image recognition unit 351 recognizes the position of the user's face in the live view image based on the control from the control unit 101. The face image recognition unit 351 recognizes the number of users from the live view image.

  In step S146, the face image recognition unit 351 recognizes the correction range for the correction item command based on the control from the control unit 101. For example, when the button 381 for thinning the cheek in FIG. 20 is accepted as a correction item command in step S144, the face image recognition unit 351 determines the position of the cheek from the face position recognized in the process of step S145. The range is further recognized as a correction range. For example, when the button 382 for reducing the face is accepted as a correction item command in step S144, the face image recognition unit 351 recognizes the range of the position of the face recognized in the process of step S145 as the correction range. . Further, for example, when the command of the button 383 correction item for enlarging the eye in FIG. 20 is accepted in step S144, the face image recognition unit 351 determines the position of the eye from the face position recognized in the process of step S145. The range is further recognized as a correction range.

  In step S147, the correction processing unit 107 performs correction for the correction item command on the image (live view image) in the correction range recognized in the process of step S146. For example, when the correction item command is a command to make the cheeks thin (button 381), the correction processing unit 107 lengthens the live view image in the range with respect to the cheek position recognized in step S146 (the width is increased). Correct by reducing). Also, for example, when the correction item command is a command to reduce the face (button 382), the correction processing unit 107 reduces the live view image in the range with respect to the face position recognized in the process of step S146. to correct. Further, for example, when the correction item command is a command to enlarge the eyes (button 383), the correction processing unit 107 corrects by enlarging the live view image in the range with respect to the eye position recognized in the process of step S146. To do.

  In step S148, the control unit 101 updates and displays the live view image as a live view corrected image. Specifically, the control unit 101 uses the live view image corrected by the correction processing unit 107 in step S147 as a live view correction image, and displays the live view correction image in the live view image region 220 in FIG. The image display unit 22 is controlled.

  If it is determined in step S143 that correction is not instructed, or after the process of step S148, the process ends. Thereafter, the process returns to step S31 in FIG.

  The processing in FIG. 19 is summarized as follows. The face image recognition unit 351 recognizes the position of the user's face in the live view image and recognizes the correction range for the correction item command based on the correction item command from the user. The correction processing unit 107 performs correction for the correction item command on the image in the correction range (live view image), and the control unit 101 updates the corrected image as a live view correction image and displays it. Let

  Thereby, an image can be corrected in real time before photographing. In addition, since the face image recognition unit 351 recognizes a specific part of the user (for example, eyes or cheeks), the user does not need to specify a correction range in the live view image and can easily correct the live view image. Can do. Furthermore, since the correction processing unit 107 performs correction for the correction item command on the correction range recognized by the face image recognition unit 351, the user can perform complicated operations such as specifying magnification and aspect ratio in the live view image. Therefore, it is possible to correct the live view image efficiently. Further, the user can eliminate dissatisfaction with the captured image as a result of the correction.

  19 and FIG. 20, the case where one user is photographed is described as an example. However, when the face image recognition unit 351 recognizes a plurality of users, for each user, Corrections may be performed sequentially. For example, when the number of users is recognized as two by the face image recognition unit 351 in the process of step S145, the image display unit 22 displays a live view display screen as shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 27, elliptical selection circles 391 and 392 are displayed in the live view image area 220. The selection circles 391 and 392 are user face images recognized by the face image recognition unit 351. In the example of FIG. 27, the selection circle 391 is displayed as a solid line, and the selection circle 392 is displayed as a broken line (hereinafter, the solid selection circle 391 is treated as being highlighted, The selection circle 392 is treated as not highlighted). In this example, the selected circle 391 that is highlighted is the selected circle. FIG. 27 also shows a button 384 for moving the highlighted selection circle to the left and a button 385 for moving the highlighted selection circle to the right.

  When the face image recognition unit 351 recognizes the face images of a plurality of users in the process of step S145, the control unit 101 accepts selection of the users to be corrected and accepts a command of correction items of the selected users. That is, the process of step S144 is executed again. Specifically, when the selection circle 391 is initially highlighted, for example, a button 381 for thinning the cheek is accepted as a correction item command for the user on the left side. Next, the highlighted selection circle is switched to the selection circle 392 by selecting the button 385, and the correction item command of the right user is accepted. Thereafter, by the processing from step S146 to step S148, the correction items instructed for each user image are corrected, and the live view corrected image is displayed.

  In the example of FIG. 27, the case where two users are recognized by the face image recognition unit 351 has been described. However, when three users are recognized, the faces of the three users are selected with a selection cursor. The selected circle to be displayed and highlighted may be the circle to be corrected. The same applies to the case of three or more users.

  Next, an example of editing processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This processing is an example of detailed processing of the editing processing in step S13 of FIG. 3 described above. That is, the details of the editing process in step S13 in FIG. 3 are described in the case of the photo sticker vending machine 1 in FIG. 2 by the processing shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 described above, and the case of the photo sticker vending machine 1 in FIG. The process shown in FIGS. 21 and 22 will be described. This process is a process executed by each unit based on the control from the control unit 101 in FIG.

  Since the processing from step S181 to step S188 is the same as the processing from step S81 to step S88 in FIG. 14 described above, description thereof is omitted.

  In step S189, the image display unit 22 is not limited to the message “Please select the number of divisions” based on the control from the control unit 101. The message may be output by voice).

  In step S190, the division number setting unit 352 sets the division number according to the number of subjects recognized by the face image recognition unit 351 in the process of step S145 of FIG. For example, when the number of subjects recognized in the process of step S145 in FIG. 19 is two, the division number setting unit 352 sets the number of divisions to be divisible by 2, and is recognized in the process of step S145 in FIG. When the number of subjects is three, the number of divisions is a number divisible by three.

  In step S <b> 191, the image display unit 22 displays a division number selection screen for the division number set by the division number setting unit 352 based on the control from the control unit 101. When the number of divisions for two people is set in the process of step S190, the image display unit 22 displays a division number selection screen as shown in FIG. 23, for example.

  In FIG. 23, a message “Please select the number of divisions” is displayed at the top of the screen, and the user can select a desired number of division sheets using the touch pen 23. In this case, the user moves (or selects) the selection frame 411 to select a desired number of divisional seal sheets from the seal sheets 401 to 405. In this example, the sticker sheets 401 to 405 are assigned the number of photo stickers that can be divided by two people. That is, the division number setting unit 352 indicates that the sticker sheets 401 to 405 are set as division number options. Thus, by recognizing the number of users by recognizing the face image and further setting options for the number of divisions based on this, it is easy to share when a plurality of users play a game in one group. be able to. That is, the user's satisfaction with the number of seals can be improved.

  Returning to FIG. 22, in step S192, the control unit 101 accepts selection of the number of divisions by the user (selection of any one of the seal sheets 401 to 405).

  In step S193, the control unit 101 saves (stores) the selection of the number of divisions received in step S192 in the RAM 183, and ends the editing process. Then, the process returns to step S13 in FIG.

  Since the number of users is recognized by the processing of FIG. 22 and the option of the number of divisions is further set based on this, when a plurality of users play a game in one group, they can be easily shared. it can. In addition, the user's satisfaction with respect to the number of seal divisions can be improved.

  Next, an example of live view image correction will be described.

  The correction ratio of the correction processing unit 107 to the correction range of the live view image is set to several percent with respect to the correction range image. This is in order not to make corrections that make the user think that a person completely different from the user has been shot. That is, the correction processing unit 107 corrects the image in the correction range so that the user's face can be recognized to some extent.

  As shown in FIG. 20 described above, the correction specification items by the correction processing unit 107 are not limited to the specification items for thinning the cheek, the specification for reducing the face, and the specification item for increasing the eyes. Any item can be used as long as it corrects.

  For example, a live view image 431 as shown on the left side of FIG. 24 is displayed in the live view image area (for example, the live view image area 220 of FIG. 6), and the process of step S144 in FIG. When the specified item for correction is received, the face image recognition unit 351 recognizes the eye position range of the live view image 431 as the correction range, and the correction processing unit 107 detects the eye position range (correction range). ) By a few percent and move the eye up. As a result, a live view corrected image 432 as shown on the right side of FIG. 24 is displayed on the image display unit 22. In this way, the correction processing unit 107 corrects the live view image 431 and generates the live view corrected image 432 by enlarging the user's eyes in the live view image 431 and moving the eye position upward. .

  Further, for example, a live view image 441 as shown on the left side of FIG. 25 is displayed in the live view image area (for example, the live view image area 220 of FIG. 6), and the user performs the process in step S144 of FIG. When a designation item for correcting (skinning) the cheek is received, the face image recognition unit 351 recognizes the cheek position range of the live view image 431 as the correction range, and the correction processing unit 107 Reduce the position range (correction range) several percent horizontally. As a result, a live view corrected image 442 as shown on the right side of FIG. 25 is displayed on the image display unit 22. As described above, the correction processing unit 107 corrects the live view image 441 and generates the live view corrected image 442 by fainting the user's cheek in the live view image 441.

  Furthermore, for example, the correction processing unit 107 may obtain and correct the correction rate so as to obtain a predetermined ratio (a ratio based on the law of beautification).

  Below is an example of the law of beautification.

Law 1: Face width is divided into five equal parts. The width of the face is the width of five eyes arranged side by side based on the width of the eyes, and the width is equal.

  When Rule 1 is applied to the photo sticker vending machine 1 of FIG. 18, the face image recognition unit 351 acquires the width of the face (horizontal width of the eye line in the horizontal direction) and the width of the eye, and the correction processing unit 107. However, it is corrected so that the width of the eyes is made uniform and the lateral position of the eyes is changed.

Law 2: Law of one-third parts balance "The hairline of the forehead to the hairline of the eyebrows", "The hairline of the eyebrows to the tip of the nose", and "The tip of the nose to the tip of the jaw" are divided into three equal parts. Further, when “the eyebrow hairline to the tip of the nose” is smaller than the other parts, the eyes are emphasized.

  In the case of Law 2, when the forehead is hidden by the hair, the face image recognition unit 351 does not acquire the hairline of the forehead, but acquires the hairline of the eyebrows, the tip of the nose, and the tip of the jaw, and the correction processing The unit 107 calculates the distance between “the tip of the nose to the tip of the jaw” and “the tip of the eyebrow from the hairline”, and if this is less than a predetermined value, corrects the position of the eyebrows to be lowered. Then, shorten the distance from the hairline of the eyebrows to the tip of the nose. Since the face image recognition unit 351 acquires only the nose and tip as the nose position, the nose position is not moved. Further, the correction processing unit 107 corrects only the position of the eyebrows because it does not apply to the first law when the eye position is corrected so as to be lowered together with the eyebrows.

Law 3: Part position relations Eyebrows: Stop the eyebrows right above the eyes and the eyebrows at the extension line connecting the nose and the eyes. Positioned lips: The bottom of the nose to the tip of the chin is divided into three equal parts, and the middle of the lips is located on the upper third line. The corner of the mouth can be connected to the nose side of the eye with a straight line.

  In the case of rule 3, the face image recognition unit 351 further acquires the eyebrow head, and the correction processing unit 107 corrects the eyebrows to move so as to be directly above the eyeball. When the forehead is hidden by the hair, the face image recognition unit 351 does not acquire the hairline, so the correction processing unit 107 does not perform eye correction. Further, the face image recognizing unit 351 further acquires the position of the lips, and the correction processing unit 107 divides the bottom of the nose to the tip of the chin into three equal parts, and the middle of the lips is on the upper third line. The position of the lips is corrected so that it is positioned. Note that the mouth corner is not corrected when the face image recognition processing unit 351 does not acquire the black nose side.

  As described above, the correction processing unit 107 may obtain and correct the correction factor based on the three laws of beautification.

  Further, the correction processing unit 107 is not limited to the shape of the correction range of the live view image, and may correct the color.

  In the above example, the live view display screen is displayed on the image display unit 22, but a display for live view display may be provided separately. In this case, by setting the screen size to about 6 inches to 15 inches, which is larger than 3 inches, the user can view the live view image from the shooting position. That is, when a display for live view display is separately provided, the user can more accurately display the correction result (live view correction image) by increasing the screen size (for example, 6 inches to 15 inches). Can be identified.

  In the above example, the shooting process (the process in FIG. 4) and the editing process (the process in FIGS. 14 and 15) are performed in the same space (the space in the frame 12 in FIG. 1 (the shooting space)). However, the photographing process and the editing process may be performed in different spaces. A specific example in this case will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 26 is a top view showing another configuration example of the photo sticker vending machine 1 to which the present invention is applied. Note that FIG. 26 is represented so that the inside can be seen through for convenience of explanation.

  In the photo sticker vending machine 1 of FIG. 26, the image sticker vending machine 1 of FIG. 1 further displays editing image display units 471 and 472 for displaying a photographed image to be edited, an edited image to be printed, and the like. A post-processing image display unit 481 is provided. That is, in FIG. 26, an editing image display unit 461 is provided in the upper part of the rear surface 10c of the housing 10 in the drawing, and an editing image display unit 462 is provided in the lower part of the drawing. A post-processing image display unit 481 is provided on the surface 10 b of the housing 10.

  In FIG. 26, the space in the frame 12 is a shooting space 461 for shooting, and the space around the editing image display units 461 and 462 outside the housing 10 is used for editing. An editing space 462 is provided. A space around the post-processing image display unit 471 outside the housing 10 is a printing / post-processing space 463 for performing printing and post-processing. Here, the post-processing is processing performed after printing of the edited image is started and before the edited image is printed on the sticker sheet 162. Post processing includes, for example, processing for inputting an e-mail address for transmitting image data of a captured image or edited image to a mobile phone or the like, and displaying a promotion image for promoting sales on the post processing image display unit 471. There are processing.

  Within the shooting space 461, a range captured by the camera 21 is set as an imaging angle of view 451, and the user enters the range of the imaging angle of view 451 and performs shooting. That is, inside the shooting space 461 and outside the imaging angle of view 451 is a range that is not captured by the camera 21. In FIG. 26, buttons 491a and 491b are provided at positions where no image is taken. The buttons 491a and 491b have the same functions as the buttons for instructing the operation displayed on the image display unit 22 described above. That is, the buttons 491a and 491b have the functions of, for example, the buttons 222 to 224 in FIG. 6 and the buttons 381 to 383 in FIG. The buttons 491a and 491b are arranged at positions that can be reached without moving from the photographing position of the user who performs photographing. Accordingly, when the user issues a correction command to the live view image, the user moves from the shooting position and does not move from the shooting position without inputting the button displayed on the image display unit 22 using the touch pen 23. Since it is only necessary to input an operation to the buttons 491a and 491b, it is possible to easily instruct correction of the live view image. The buttons 491a and 491b and the button displayed on the image display unit 22 may be used in combination, or only one of them may be provided.

  Below, the flow of the game performed by the user in the photo sticker sales machine 1 of FIG. 26 will be described. In the photo sticker vending machine 1 shown in FIG. 26, post processing is performed simultaneously with the printing processing.

  As indicated by the circled numbers in FIG. 26, first, the user first enters the shooting space 461, and secondly, in the shooting space 461, the user inserts a coin into a coin slot (not shown). And do the shooting. At this time, live view display correction processing is performed, and the user can issue a correction command to the live view image and save the corrected live view corrected image as a captured image. Third, the user moves from the shooting space 461 to the editing space 462. Fourth, in the editing space 462, the user performs editing operations on the shot images displayed on the editing image display units 461 and 462. . Fifth, the user moves from the editing space 462 to the print / post-processing space 463. Sixth, in the print / post-processing space 463, the post-processing image display unit 471 is used to perform printing and post-processing. Do work.

  In the photo sticker vending machine 1 of FIG. 26, the shooting space 461, the editing space 462, and the print / post-processing space 463 are arranged at different positions, so that while the user is shooting in the shooting space 461, Another user can perform editing work in the editing space 462, and yet another user can perform printing / post-processing work in the printing / post-processing space 463. That is, it becomes possible to perform a triple customer service (three games are simultaneously advanced).

  In the photo sticker vending machine 1 shown in FIG. 26, post-processing is performed in the printing / post-processing space 463 after printing of the edited image is started and before the edited image is printed on the sticker sheet 162. Therefore, the user can enjoy the time until the end of printing.

  Furthermore, in the configuration of the photo sticker vending machine 1 as shown in FIG. 26, when the live view display correction process as shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 19 is performed at the time of shooting, the user displays the live view image. The image is corrected and shot (saved as a shot image), and then moved to the editing space 462. In the conventional editing space 462, when a captured image is corrected when editing, the next user may use the shooting space when the shooting space is different from the editing space. Even when it is not satisfactory, it is difficult to return to the shooting space and perform the shooting operation again. However, in the photo sticker vending machine 1 of FIG. 26, the live view display correction process is performed at the time of shooting, so that the user can shoot using the corrected live view image and shoot while satisfying the correction result. Therefore, there is no need for the user to return to the shooting space 461 from the editing space 462 without dissatisfaction with the shot image during editing. Thus, in the configuration as shown in FIG. 26, the configuration of the present invention has a remarkable effect.

  The live view image correction command and shooting command are not limited to actuators such as the buttons 491a and 491b, but may be performed using a dial, a remote switch, or a gesture. The actuators such as the dial and the remote switch are also arranged in the imaging space 461 and at a position (outside the imaging angle of view 451) that cannot be seen from the camera 21 during imaging.

  In the example of FIG. 26, the buttons 491a and 491b are provided on both sides of the camera 21, but may be provided on one side. Further, the buttons 491a and 491b may be provided on the photo sticker vending machine 1 shown in FIG. Also in this case, the position of the button 491 is arranged outside the imaging angle of view 451.

  Further, buttons (buttons 222 to 224 in FIG. 6 and buttons 381 to 383 in FIG. 20) and tools for editing (in FIG. 16) that are displayed on the image display unit 22 and that perform correction commands and shooting commands. The input tool selection unit 322) may be provided as the operation input unit 104 in FIG.

  Furthermore, the above-described shooting process time, setting time, editing time, and the like are not limited to the above-described time, and may be any number of minutes.

  As described above, the photo sticker vending machine 1 displays the user image captured by the camera 21 in real time as a moving image (live view image), and accepts and accepts a correction command for the live view image from the user. Based on the given command, the displayed live view image is corrected and displayed as a live view corrected image, and the live view corrected image is saved as a still image (captured image) at a predetermined timing. The user can take a picture while viewing the correction result image (live view correction image). That is, it is possible to efficiently perform shooting according to the user's preference.

  Further, the photo sticker vending machine 1 accepts a command for the range of the image area to be corrected for the live view image, and corrects the live view image in the received image area. It can be performed. Further, it is possible to correct only a specific part of the user in the live view image, not the entire live view image.

  Furthermore, when the photo sticker vending machine 1 receives a correction command for the live view image, the photo sticker vending machine 1 recognizes the position of the user's face in the live view image (the face image recognition unit 351 recognizes it) and recognizes it as the user's face. Since the image in the selected range is corrected based on the received instruction from the user, the user does not need to manually input the position of the face, and the operation input can be facilitated. Moreover, since the photo sticker vending machine 1 recognizes not only the position of the user's face but also a specific part (for example, eyes), based on a correction instruction for the specific part (for example, eyes) from the user, The position of the user's specific part (for example, eyes) in the live view image can be recognized and corrected. That is, the user does not need to input the eye position (specify the correction range) and issue the correction command (command for parameters such as enlargement / reduction) just by giving the eye correction command. It can be done easily.

  Further, the photo sticker vending machine 1 recognizes the number of users based on the image of one or a plurality of users (subjects) taken together with the recognition of the face, and based on the number of recognized users, Since the division number (option) of the sticker paper to be printed is set, even when a plurality of users play a game in one group, the photo sticker paper can be easily shared. In addition, the user's satisfaction with respect to the number of seal divisions can be improved.

  In the above process, the control unit 101 executes various processes. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the CPU (Central Processing Unit) may execute these processes by executing a predetermined program. Also, in the processes of the correction processing unit 107, the face image recognition unit 351, and the division number setting unit 352, these processes may be realized by the CPU executing a predetermined program.

  The series of processes described above can be executed by hardware or can be executed by software. When a series of processing is executed by software, a program constituting the software is installed from a network or a recording medium.

  As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 18, this recording medium is constituted by a package medium comprising a removable medium 192 on which a program is recorded, which is distributed to provide a program to the user, separately from the computer. In addition, it is configured by a hard disk or the like including a storage unit 181 in which a program is recorded and a ROM 182 that are provided to the user in a state of being incorporated in the apparatus main body in advance.

  Note that the steps of executing the series of processes described above in this specification are performed in parallel or individually even if they are not necessarily processed in time series, as well as processes performed in time series in the order described. The processing to be performed is also included.
