3. Operation The operation of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 described above is as follows.

3-1. Standby booth operation (standby processing)
First, the operation of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 at the standby booth 6 will be described. The CPU 103 of the computer apparatus 101 implements a standby process by reading the computer program stored in the HDD 104 into the memory 105 and executing it. Here, the standby process in standby booth 6A will be described, but the standby process in standby booth 6B is also performed by reversing A and B, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  For convenience of explanation, the first priority flag of the standby booth 6A is the A-side first priority flag A1F, the second priority flag of the standby booth 6A is the second priority flag A2F of the A-side, and the first priority of the standby booth 6B. The priority flag is referred to as a B-side first priority flag B1F, and the second priority flag of the standby booth 6B is referred to as a B-side second priority flag B2F.

  Referring to the flowchart of FIG. 9, the CPU 103 displays on the operation monitor 20A a title demonstration screen that prompts the user to use the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 as shown in FIG. 10 (S11), during which the first coin control unit 112A is displayed. In step S12, the insertion of coins, which is a consideration for use of the apparatus, is monitored (S12).

  When a predetermined number of coins are inserted during the display of the title demonstration screen (YES in S12), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the B-side first priority flag B1F is ON (S13).

  Step S13 is a determination of whether or not the other standby booth (here, standby booth 6B) is in use. If YES in step S13, the other standby booth is being used, and if NO in step S13, the other standby booth is not being used.

  If the B-side first priority flag B1F is not ON (NO in S13), the process proceeds to step S19.

  If the B-side first priority flag B1F is ON (YES in S13), the A-side second priority flag A2F is turned ON (S14). At this time, the A-side first priority flag A1F remains OFF.

  Here, the user of the standby booth 6B has the first priority, and the user of the standby booth 6A has the second priority. The user of the stand-by booth 6B has the right to move to a main play such as a shooting play next.

  Subsequent to step S14, as shown in FIG. 11A, the CPU 103 displays the first content for standby on the operation monitor 20A of the standby booth 6A, and starts the first content processing (S15).

In the present embodiment, the first content process is a process for playing a game or fortune-telling.
The first content is preferably content not related to the image to be photographed. That is, the content is preferably not related to the processing (main play) after the shooting processing such as shooting at the shooting booth or editing at the editing booth.

  More specifically, the first content processing first displays a content selection screen as shown in FIG. Then, processing corresponding to the content selected by the user is performed. Here, as a specific example, an example in which “Rakugaki-sensei” is selected is shown. As shown in FIG. 11 (B), “Rakugaki-sensei” presents a sample list of editing (Rakugaki) in the editing process and allows the user to select a favorite sample. As shown in FIG. 11 (C). This is content that presents one-point information such as what kind of stamp is used to edit the sample selected by the user. When the “return to list” button in FIG. 11C is touched, the process returns to FIG.

  The first content process is preferably a process that can be ended at any time. Alternatively, the content content that can be selected and the length of time for providing the content may be changed according to the elapsed processing time of the photographing process, the editing process, and the first priority standby process. For example, when playing a game, the type of game is changed according to the remaining time, or the time limit is shortened or lengthened.

  Further, the first content processing may be able to select another content in the middle.

  Then, during the first content processing, it is monitored whether or not the B-side first priority flag B1F is turned off (S16). If NO in step S16, the first content processing is continued.

  On the other hand, if YES in step S16, the first content process ends (S17). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, a message indicating that the first content is to be ended (time is up) is displayed. However, if the time is suddenly increased and the process is terminated, the user may be confused. Therefore, if the determination in step S16 is YES, a display that guides the predetermined time until the time is up, such as the remaining 10 seconds until the time is up. Preferably, after a predetermined time has elapsed.

  In this way, the processing status at the other standby booth 6B is determined, and the first content is terminated.

  When the first content process is completed in step S17, the A-side second priority flag A2F is turned off (S18), and the process proceeds to step S19.

  In step S13, NO, or following step S18, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the shooting flag SF is ON (S19).

  Step S <b> 19 is a determination as to whether or not shooting processing is being performed in the shooting booth 7. If YES in step S19, the shooting booth 7 is being used, and if NO in step S19, the shooting booth is not being used.

  If the shooting flag SF is ON (YES in S19), the A-side first priority flag A1F is turned ON (S20).

  Here, the user of the stand-by booth 6A has the first priority, and the user of the stand-by booth 6A has the right to move to a main play such as a shooting play next.

  Although not shown in the flowchart, when the A-side first priority flag A1F is turned ON, the order indicator lamp 22A of the standby booth 6A is turned on. This makes it easier for the user in the stand-by booth to recognize that the user who is currently shooting and shooting is finished first and then shooting first.

  It should be noted that immediately after the second priority is changed to the first priority, the user who has been in the other standby booth that has been given the first priority first performs shooting play at the shooting booth, so step S19 is necessarily YES. .

  Following step S20, as shown in FIG. 13A, the CPU 103 displays the second content for standby on the operation monitor 20A of the standby booth 6A, and starts the second content processing (S21). The second content process and the first content process are different contents. In this way, by changing the content, it is possible to prevent the user having a long waiting time from feeling bored.

  In addition, since it is assumed that the second content is used more frequently than the first content, it is preferable to allocate important content among the content to the second content.

  The second content process of this embodiment is a process of inputting an e-mail address for sending an image taken later in the shooting play to a mobile phone owned by the user.

  More specifically, in the second content process, first, an e-mail address input screen is displayed as shown in FIG. The mail address input screen is composed of a plurality of screens and can be input by a plurality of people. In addition, the processing of each screen is changed according to the progress of each screen.

  When the e-mail address is input, a confirmation screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 13B. If OK, it is confirmed whether another e-mail address is input as shown in FIG. 13C. Display the screen. When inputting (when “Yes” is touched), the e-mail address input screen is displayed again. When no further input is made (when “No” is touched), an instruction for using the apparatus may be displayed.

  In this way, a plurality of mail addresses can be input simultaneously on each screen. The information input here is temporarily stored in the memory, and a photographed image or the like taken in the subsequent main play can be transmitted to the stored mail address.

  Of course, the second content is not limited to the process of inputting the e-mail address of the mobile phone as described above.

  The second content is created in advance as a selection of shooting courses in the shooting process at the shooting booth, shooting settings such as the brightness of the strobe, or decorative images such as stamp images and frame images to be combined with images shot at the shooting booth. Any content that is directly related to the image to be photographed, such as content to be photographed, and that assists the processing after the photographing processing at the photographing booth (main play) may be used. By providing such content, it is possible to reduce the time of main play and troublesome operations in main play.

  Then, during the second content processing, it is monitored whether or not the shooting flag SF is turned off (S22). If NO in step S22, the second content process is continued.

  On the other hand, if YES in step 22, the second content process is terminated (S23). At this time, as in the case of the end of the first content processing, it is preferable to display a guide for a predetermined time until the time is up, such as 10 seconds remaining until the time is up, and to end after the predetermined time has passed.

  In this way, the shooting content processing status at the shooting booth 7 is determined, and the second content is terminated. Also, referring to the remaining time of the shooting play process currently being performed, the countdown display is displayed on the operation monitor 20 of the standby booth 6 in accordance with the remaining time until the shooting play process ends, and the shooting play is ended. At the same time, the second content may be controlled to end.

  When the second content processing is completed in step S23, the A-side first priority flag A1F is turned OFF (S24), and the process proceeds to step S25.

  In step S19, NO or following step S24, the CPU 103 displays a photographing guidance as shown in FIG. 14, and outputs the guidance by voice from the standby speaker 27A (S20). At this time, the order indicator lamp 22A may blink. The user is guided to the shooting booth 7 by such shooting guidance. And it returns to step S11 and waits for the coin insertion of the next user.

  The processing at the stand-by booth B is obtained by reversing “A side” and “B side” in the flowchart of FIG.

3-2. Operation in the shooting booth (shooting process)
Next, the operation of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 at the photographing booth 7 will be described. The CPU 103 of the computer apparatus 101 realizes the photographing process by reading the photographing program stored in the HDD 104 into the memory 105 and executing it.

  Referring to the flowchart of FIG. 15, the CPU 103 displays the standby screen shown in FIG. 16 on the photographing operation monitor 41 (S51). As shown in the figure, guidance is displayed on the standby screen so that coins are inserted in any of the standby booths 6 and then play is started.

  When the data of the user of either the standby booth A or the standby booth B is ready during the standby screen display (S53), the shooting setting screen is displayed and the user is set for shooting (S55). . If the predetermined shooting setting is made, the shutter operation is performed after the countdown, and the predetermined shooting is executed (S57).

  The user performs photographing a plurality of times according to the guidance displayed on the photographing operation monitor 41. The CPU 103 determines whether or not the shooting time has reached a predetermined time (S59). If the predetermined time has not elapsed since the start of shooting (NO in S59), the CPU 103 returns to step S55 and repeats shooting. On the other hand, when the predetermined time has elapsed (YES in S59), the CPU 103 displays an editing target image selection screen and allows the user to select a photographed image to be edited from a plurality of photographed images obtained by photographing. (S61). Then, user data including the image to be edited is prepared for editing processing (S63). The CPU 103 displays a guide prompting editing in the editing booth 8 on the photographing operation monitor 41 for a predetermined time (S64), and then returns to step S51 to display the standby screen again.

  Although the shooting time is limited here, the number of shootings may be limited. Also, if there is still a predetermined shooting time limit after shooting a predetermined number of times, or if the previous user is still graffitiing at the editing booth 8, the shooting play can be performed until the end of the shooting. May be.

3-3. Operation at the editing booth (editing process)
Next, the operation of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 at the editing booth 8 will be described. The CPU 103 of the computer apparatus 101 implements editing processing by reading the editing program stored in the HDD 104 into the memory 105 and executing it.

  Referring to the flowchart of FIG. 17, CPU 103 displays a standby screen on operation monitor 51 for editing (S71). On the standby screen, guidance that prompts the user to start using one of the standby booths is displayed.

  Then, the CPU 103 monitors whether or not the photographing process shown in FIG. 15 has been completed and user data has been prepared for editing (S73).

  When the user's data is ready (YES in S73), the CPU 103 displays an edit screen (S75) and performs an edit input process (S77). The edit input process is a process in which an edit image is input to an edit target image by a user operating the touch pen 53. The editing process ends when a predetermined time elapses or when an “end button” on the editing screen is touched. The CPU 103 monitors whether or not the edit input process has been completed (S79).

  When the edit input process ends (YES in S79), the CPU 103 displays a print target image selection screen (S81). On the print target image selection screen, a composite image obtained by combining the captured image and the edit image input in the edit input process is displayed side by side on the operation monitor 51 for editing. The user selects an image to be printed from the composite images displayed on the monitor. The CPU 103 determines the print target image based on the user's selection.

  After determining the print target image, the CPU 103 displays a print layout selection screen (S83). The user selects a desired print layout from the print layouts displayed on the monitor. The CPU 103 determines the print layout based on the user's selection. Next, the CPU 103 applies the selected print layout to create print data (S85).

  Next, the CPU 103 performs portable transmission image selection processing (S86). The portable transmission image selection process will be described using another flowchart. When the portable transmission image selection process is completed, it is transmitted to the server (S87), the process returns to step S71, and the standby screen is displayed again.

18 and 19 are flowcharts showing the mobile transmission image selection process.
Referring to FIG. 18, CPU 103 determines whether or not mail data is included in the user data currently being played (S201).

  If NO in step S201, a mail address input screen as shown in FIG. 20 is displayed (S203). In the second mail address input screen for accepting the input of the user's mail address when the user is not performing the standby process, that is, when the mail address is not input in the second content processing in the standby booth 6 is there.

  It is determined whether or not an e-mail address has been input on the screen as shown and the enter button has been touched, that is, whether or not an e-mail address has been input (S205).

  If “NO” in the step S205, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time allotted for inputting the e-mail address has passed (S209). If “NO” in the step S209, the process returns to the step S205, and YES in the step S209. If so, the process proceeds to step S227.

  If “YES” in the step S205, the input mail address is temporarily stored in the user data (S207), and whether or not the decision button is touched on any of the plurality of mail address input screens, that is, a plurality of mail address input In each screen, it is determined whether or not the mail address has been input (S211). If NO in step S211, the process returns to step S205. If “YES” in the step S211, the process proceeds to a step S227.

  That is, the input of the e-mail address is terminated when either the e-mail address is input on the e-mail address input screen or a predetermined time has elapsed. As described above, by providing an opportunity to input an e-mail address even after the editing process is completed, it is possible to input an e-mail address for transmitting an image for mobile transmission even when the second content process is not performed.

  On the other hand, if “YES” in the step S201, a mail address confirmation / addition screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 21A (S213).

  As shown in FIG. 21A, the mail address confirmation / addition screen displays the mail address input during the second content processing shown in FIG. 13 so that the mail address input during the second content processing can be confirmed. I have to. In addition, a delete button is arranged in the vicinity of the mail address so that the input mail address input at the time of the second content processing can be deleted. By doing so, the inputted mail address can be reconfirmed and can be deleted when the mail address is wrong.

  In addition, on the mail address confirmation / addition screen, the mail address input at the time of the second content processing is displayed, and an additional mail address can be input. By doing so, it is possible to add a mail address for transmitting the mobile transmission image even if the second content process fails to input the mail address.

  When the e-mail address confirmation / addition screen is displayed, it is monitored whether or not the delete button is touched (S215). If “YES” in the step S215, the corresponding mail address is deleted (S217), and the process returns to the step S215. If “NO” in the step S215, it is monitored whether or not an e-mail address addition screen determination button is pressed and an e-mail address is added on the e-mail address addition screen (S219). If “YES” in the step S219, as shown in FIG. 21B, the address added on the mail address addition screen is displayed (S221), and the process returns to the step S215.

  If “NO” in the step S219, it is monitored whether or not the button for proceeding to the image selection screen is touched (S223). If YES in step S223, the process proceeds to step S227.

  If “NO” in the step S223, it is monitored whether or not a predetermined time for adding the mail address has passed (S225). If NO in step S225, the process returns to step S215. If “YES” in the step S225, the process proceeds to a step S227.

  If YES in step S211, YES in step 223, or YES in step S225, the entered mail address is confirmed on the mail address input screen (S227), and the portable transmission image selection screen as shown in FIG. Is displayed (S229).

  As shown in FIG. 22A, the photographed image and the edited image are displayed in a list, and an image to be transmitted to the user's mobile phone is selected (S231). As shown in FIG. 22A, the registered mail address is displayed as a tag, and the corresponding tag is dragged and dropped using the touch pen as shown in FIGS. 22B to 22C. Thus, a desired image is selected by rearranging in the region of the image to be transmitted.

  That is, a plurality of images are displayed on the display screen, and the transmission destinations of the images are displayed in association with the images. The user can move the transmission destination of the image on the display screen, and can change the image to be transmitted based on the movement.

  Here, it is monitored whether or not the decision button is touched (S233). If NO in step S233, it is monitored whether or not a predetermined time for selecting the mobile transmission image has elapsed (S235). If NO in step S235, the process returns to step S233.

  If YES in step S233 or YES in step S235, the selected image and the e-mail address corresponding to the selected image are associated and transmitted to the image providing server (S237), and the process returns to the main flow of FIG. Then, the image providing server transmits the selected image to the corresponding mail address.

  In the above-described mobile transmission image selection process, confirmation or addition of the mail address and selection of the mobile transmission image are performed on different screens, but FIGS. 23A to 23C illustrate. As described above, the mobile transmission image selection and the mail address addition may be performed on the same screen. More specifically, the mail address input at the time of the second content processing shown in FIG. 13 is displayed as a tag, and the image to be sent for each mail address is selected by superimposing the tag on the image. In addition, an e-mail address that could not be input in the second content process can be input on this screen. Here, the selected image is transmitted from the communication unit 120 to the image providing server via the network together with the ID and mail address information.

  As described above, since there are multiple occasions for inputting an e-mail address, the user can input the e-mail address with a margin. For this reason, there are fewer mistakes in entering an email address.

  In addition, since an e-mail address is input in the second content processing during standby before main play (photographing) and the e-mail address is confirmed during standby after printing is completed, it is easy to notice an input error in the e-mail address.

  Furthermore, since it is possible to correct an input error of an e-mail address, an input error of an e-mail address is reduced.

  In addition, since there are multiple occasions for inputting an e-mail address, for example, even if the number of members of a user group is large, all of them can input an e-mail address and each can select a desired image.

3-4. Operation at the printing booth (printing process)
Next, the operation of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 at the printing booth 9 will be described. The CPU 103 of the computer apparatus 101 implements printing processing by reading the editing program stored in the HDD 104 into the memory 105 and executing it.

  Referring to the flowchart of FIG. 24, the CPU 103 displays a standby screen on the print guide monitor 61 (S91). The print guide monitor 61 displays the product name of the apparatus, usage guidance of the apparatus, and the like.

  Then, the CPU 103 monitors whether or not the editing process shown in FIG. 17 has been completed and the printing data has been prepared (S92).

  If the printing data is ready (YES in S92), it is determined whether the printer 60 is currently printing (S93). If printing is in progress (YES in S93), the data is kept waiting and pooled (S94). If printing is not in progress (NO in S93), printing of print data is started (S95). Then, a guidance screen indicating “printing” is displayed on the printing guidance monitor 61 (S96). When printing is completed (YES in S97), the process returns to step S91. The seal sheet on which the printing data is printed is provided to the user from the print outlet 62.

  Since the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 of the present embodiment operates as described above, as shown in FIG. 25 (A), it is possible to serve five sets of users at a time.

  Further, when comparing the number of users who can be served during a predetermined time with the prior art, as shown in FIG. 33A, shooting, editing, and printing are performed at different positions, and each is independent. In the conventional customer service method of operating as described above, the number of groups that can be served simultaneously at a predetermined time is five as shown in FIG. 33 (B), but as shown in FIG. 25 (A), In the customer service method according to the first embodiment in which standby A, standby B, shooting, editing, and printing are performed at different positions and operate independently, the number of groups that can simultaneously serve customers in a predetermined time is shown in FIG. 25 (B) becomes 7 sets as shown in the figure, and two sets more users can be served than in the case of FIG. 33 (A).

  With such a configuration, a large number of users can be served at the same time. Further, since the users waiting for use do not wait in line, it seems that the device can be used immediately. For this reason, it is possible to prevent a loss of chance that the user does not stop using the apparatus by looking at the queue and misses the user who has desired use.

  In addition, with the above-described configuration, a user waiting for use may not feel bored. Furthermore, since the contents differ depending on the priority state, various contents can be enjoyed according to the standby time. For this reason, even if the waiting time becomes longer, the user does not feel bored and can feel more profitable. Furthermore, since the main play does not become long, the user is not tired of the main play that is the basis of the apparatus, and the apparatus can be easily used repeatedly.

  In addition, the installation positions of the standby booth 6A and the standby booth 6B may not be the forms illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 25A of the first embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 26A, a plurality of operation monitors may be installed on the surface 31 of the housing 3, and the space may be divided by a panel or the like, or as shown in FIG. The standby housing may be installed at a position away from the housing 3 and not adjacent thereto.

  In addition, when the standby housing is installed at a remote position, the configuration is not limited to a configuration in which a plurality of housings are installed as illustrated in FIG. 26B. For example, a single housing is installed. Thus, a plurality of standby portions may be formed using a plurality of surfaces of the casing.

[Second Embodiment]
In the second embodiment, the photographing / editing / printing process and configuration other than the standby process are the same as those in the first embodiment, and thus detailed description will not be repeated.

4). Standby booth operation (standby processing)
With reference to FIGS. 27 and 28, the operation of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 in the standby booth 6 in the second embodiment will be described. The process up to step S24 is the same as the operation of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 in the standby booth 6 in the first embodiment (FIG. 9), and thus detailed description will not be repeated.

  In the second embodiment, when the shooting booth 7 is not used, the user in the standby booth 6 either uses the content provided in the standby booth 6 or starts shooting play. Selection is possible. In this way, even if there is no customer who is shooting at the shooting booth 7 after inserting coins, the user who wants to use the content can use the content.

  Referring to the flowcharts of FIGS. 27 and 28, if NO in step S19 or following step S24, CPU 103 determines whether or not B-side second priority flag B2F is ON (S101).

  Step S101 is a determination as to whether or not the other standby booth (here, standby booth 6B) is in use. If YES in step S101, the other standby booth is being used, and if NO in step S101, the other standby booth is not being used. If YES in step S101, the process moves to step S25.

  If NO in step S101, the CPU 103 displays a selection screen as shown in FIG. 29 (S102). On this selection screen, the user is allowed to select whether to move to the shooting booth 7 to start shooting play or to perform content processing at the current standby booth 6. Then, it is determined whether “move to shooting booth” is selected (S103). If YES in step S103, the process moves to step S25.

  In the case of NO in step S103, the CPU 103 turns on if the A-side first priority flag A1F is OFF (S104). If the A-side first priority flag A1F is ON in step S104, it is left as it is.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 30, the CPU 103 displays the photographing guidance button 140 on the operation monitor 20A for the standby booth 6A (S105), and starts the third content processing (S106). The third content process may be the same as or different from the first content process and the second content process described in the first embodiment. Here, an e-mail address input screen is displayed as in the second content processing. The shooting guidance button 140 is a button for ending current content processing and starting shooting play.

  Next, whether or not the B-side second priority flag B2F has been turned ON (S107), whether or not the shooting guidance button 140 has been touched (S108), and whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the third content processing (S109). If YES in any of step S107, step S108, or step S109, the third content processing is terminated (S110). Next, the CPU 103 turns off the A-side first priority flag A1F (S111), and proceeds to step S25.

  In other words, the third content processing is finished either when the next customer enters the standby booth 6B, the shooting guidance button 140 is touched, or a predetermined time elapses after the content processing is started. It has become. Thus, it is desirable to limit the time for the third content processing so that the user can move to shooting play as soon as possible. Moreover, it is desirable that the content can be terminated at any timing so that the shooting play can be performed at any time.

  Following YES in step S101, YES in step S103, or step S111, the CPU 103 displays the shooting guidance screen shown in FIG. 14 (S25), and moves the user to the shooting booth 7 for shooting play. Prompt to get started. And it returns to step S11 again and a title demonstration screen is displayed.

  The above is the description of the standby process in the second embodiment. In the first embodiment, there is no previous customer, and the user who first tries to use the device cannot use the standby content, but is configured as in the second embodiment. Thus, even when there is no customer, standby content can be used. Even when the user wants to use the content further during standby, the content can be further used if there is no next user within the time limit.

[Third Embodiment]
Furthermore, the standby unit is not limited to the two places as described above, and may be configured to have three or more places as shown in FIG. By doing so, as shown in FIG. 31B, eight sets of users can be served simultaneously at a predetermined time. Compared with FIG. 33A, three sets of more users can be served.

[Fourth Embodiment]
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 32A, a configuration in which a plurality of editing units are provided may be employed. By doing so, as shown in FIG. 32 (B), it is possible to simultaneously serve seven sets of users at a predetermined time, and it is possible to extend the editing time that one set can execute.

[Others]
As shown in FIG. 9, since the second content is more likely to be provided than the first content, the second content is related to processing after shooting (such as input of an e-mail address). Is preferred. In this way, it is possible to play smoothly by accepting input related to processing after shooting during standby.

  Furthermore, by accepting the input of the e-mail address at two different times, the opportunity to input the e-mail address becomes multiple times, so the user can enter the e-mail address with a margin. . For this reason, there is an effect that mistakes in inputting an e-mail address are reduced.

  Also, since an e-mail address is input during standby before the main play (photographing) and the e-mail address is confirmed during standby for printing, it is easy to notice an input error of the e-mail address.

  Furthermore, since it is possible to correct an input error of an e-mail address, an input error of an e-mail address is reduced.

  In addition, since there are multiple occasions for entering an e-mail address, for example, even when the number of members of the user group is large, all can input the e-mail address and select a desired image.

  The first content may be related to processing after shooting, or may be unrelated (game, fortune telling, etc.).

  In the above-described embodiment, the provided information (contents) varies depending on the processing status of the photographing unit and the other standby unit, so that the user can enjoy various information according to the standby time. For this reason, even if the waiting time becomes long, the user does not feel bored and can feel a good deal. Furthermore, since the main process is not lengthened, the apparatus can be used repeatedly without getting tired of the main play that is the basis of the apparatus.

  In providing content, the remaining time may be displayed as shown in the screen of FIG. Further, it may be possible to reversely calculate the time until the subsequent user's play start from the time required for shooting by the preceding user, and display it as the remaining time.

  In addition, the control method performed with the above-mentioned photograph sticker production apparatus can also be provided as a control program. Such programs include a flexible disk attached to the computer, a CD-ROM (Compact Disc-Read Only Memory), a DVD-ROM (Digital Versatile Disk Read Only Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory). It can also be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a memory card and provided as a program product. Alternatively, the program can be provided by being recorded on a recording medium such as a hard disk built in the computer. A program can also be provided by downloading via a network.
