Description

The present invention, for example, by photographing a subject to acquire the photographed image, acquires the edited image editing allowed to this photographed image, photo sticker create such a way as to print this edited image to the sealing sheet and on the equipment Related.

  Conventional photo sticker creation devices are installed in entertainment (play) facilities, etc., shoot a subject, edit (graffiti) the shot image obtained by shooting, and print the edited image or the shot image on photo sticker paper One game ends with the flow.

  In such a photo sticker creating apparatus, a small live view monitor that displays a moving image of a subject before photographing is installed near the camera. The user performs shooting while determining a standing position or a pose while watching a moving image captured on a live view monitor.

  Here, the user needs to move away from the camera appropriately at the time of shooting so that the upper body and the whole body fall within the angle of view of the camera. For this reason, in the conventional relatively small live view monitor, the user cannot confirm a fine part such as a facial expression from the position where the user is posing. In particular, in whole body photography, where the whole body is photographed from the head to the toes, it is necessary to shoot sufficiently away from the camera, so the user cannot confirm the details even if the overall pose and standing position can be confirmed. It was.

  On the other hand, in view of this problem, there has been proposed a photo sticker creating apparatus that can confirm details of a subject and obtain a satisfactory photographed image.

  For example, a photo sticker creation apparatus has been proposed that can project a moving image or a still image of a subject by installing a projector on the ceiling on the back side of the subject and a large screen on the front side of the subject (see Patent Document 1). ).

  In addition, a large half mirror with the front facing diagonally downward is placed in front of the camera, and a video monitor with the screen facing upward is placed under the half mirror, and the video monitor image is passed through the half mirror. Has been proposed (see Patent Document 2).

  However, each of the above-described photo sticker creating apparatuses is suitable for a user who takes a picture of the whole body sufficiently away from the camera, but is not suitable for a user who takes a close-up picture of the upper body with the face close to the camera.

  In other words, in the former photo sticker creation device, when the user approaches the camera for upper body photography, the user's head enters a part of the projection angle of the image by the projector, and is projected from the projector and projected onto the large screen. It is possible that a part of the image is hidden behind the head and becomes a shadow.

  Further, the latter photo sticker creating apparatus cannot arrange illumination in the vicinity of the camera, but only arranges illumination around the half mirror. For this reason, when the upper body is photographed close to the camera, sufficient illumination cannot be obtained for the most important face, and the user of the photographed image becomes dark. In addition, since the half mirror existing in front of the camera reduces the light entering the camera, sufficient light cannot be obtained and the image quality is deteriorated, so that a photographed image satisfying the user cannot be obtained.

  The larger the live view monitor such as a half mirror or a large screen, the more light that cannot be applied to the front of the subject to be photographed.

  The timing at which the captured image can be confirmed in detail is when the captured image is edited. At this stage, the user cannot retake a photographed image that he / she does not like, and edits the image without satisfaction and prints it on a sticker sheet. Therefore, sufficient satisfaction cannot be given to the user.

  FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of the game process executed by the control device 12 of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1.

  The control device 12 waits until the coin processing unit 21 confirms the insertion of coins for the game fee (step S1: NO). When coins for the game fee are inserted (step S1: YES), the shooting process is performed. Execute (Step S2). In this photographing process, after adjusting the image and brightness, live view display and photography are executed. Details will be described later with reference to FIG.

  When the photographing process is completed, the control device 12 guides the user to move to one of the two editing spaces (one that is empty without other users) by the touch panel monitor 26 and the speaker 27 ( Step S3).

  The control device 12 allows editing in the editing unit 30 installed in the guided editing space (step S4). In this editing, an operation of editing the captured image displayed on the editing monitor 32 with the touch pen 34 is allowed using an appropriate tool such as a pen tool or a stamp tool.

  The control device 12 executes the printing process and prints the edited image that has been completed (step S5). In this printing process, a print image in which an edited image is arranged in an appropriate pattern such as 8 divisions or 16 divisions is created, and this print image is printed on sticker paper to create a photo sticker sheet.

  The control device 12 performs a subsequent customer service process (step S6). In this post-service process, a plurality of processes such as mini-games and email transmission of edited images are displayed and one is allowed to be selected, and the process selected by the user is executed.

FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of the photographing process (step S2 described above) executed by the control device 12 of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1.
The control device 12 adjusts the image of the camera 24 and the brightness of each of the lighting units 232 to 239 (step S11).

  The control device 12 acquires a moving image from the camera 24, projects the moving image from the projector 25 in real time and projects it onto the screen board 60, and performs live view display using the projected image 25S (step S12).

The control device 12 displays a countdown indicator on the touch panel monitor 26 and notifies the user of the shutter timing (step S13).
The control device 12 emits flashlight from the strobe illuminator 23a of each of the illumination units 232 to 239 and the strobe illuminator 231 of the core illumination unit 235D, and takes a still image with the camera 24 (step S14).

  At this time, the illumination light of the upper strobe illuminator 231 shown in FIG. 4 illuminates the shooting space Z on the portion where the projected video 25S (see FIG. 2) has been projected. That is, the light irradiated downward by the strobe illuminator 231 enters the inside of the shielding cover 52 while being diffused by the diffusion plate 51, and this light is reflected inside the shielding cover 52 and diffused by the screen plate 60. The light passes through the screen plate 60 while being diffused by the sheet 63. Accordingly, the portion of the screen plate 60 where the projection image 25S is projected is irradiated with light from the strobe illuminator 231 and entering the shielding cover 52 toward the photographing space Z, and the other portions are irradiated. Since the light from the other strobe illuminator 23a is emitted toward the photographing space Z, sufficient illumination light is emitted from the entire screen plate 60.

  The control device 12 continues to project the projection image 25S from the projector 25 onto the screen plate 60 (step S15). In this embodiment, since the projection of the video by the projector 25 is continued without interruption between steps S11 to S15, the live view display can be continued without leaving a time difference immediately after shooting in step S14.

If the number of shootings does not reach the predetermined number, the control device 12 returns the process to step S12 and repeats shooting (step S16: NO).
If the predetermined number of times of shooting has been completed (step S16: YES), the shot image is stored as an image to be edited (step S17), and the shooting process is terminated.

  With the above configuration and operation, before shooting, the projected image 25S is projected onto the center portion of the screen plate 60 to display a live view, and at the moment of shooting (the moment when the shutter is released), illumination light from strobe light is emitted from the same portion as surface light. The object can be irradiated as

  Since the live view video displayed before shooting is projected onto the screen plate 60 that is separated from the projector 25 by a sufficient distance, it can be projected as a projected video 25S. Therefore, even if the user poses at the rear position of the shooting space Z away from the camera 24 for whole body shooting, the user can check the projection video 25S displayed at a position close to the camera 24 in detail.

  In addition, since the projector 25 is a rear projector (the projector 25 is installed inside the photographing housing 2 that is the front side of the photographing space Z), the live view of the photograph sticker creating apparatus 1 is obtained even if the room of the photographing space Z is bright. The display screen can be projected sufficiently brightly, allowing the user to visually recognize details. More specifically, the inside of the photographing space Z (in the room) of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 is always kept bright by a large number of lighting units 232 to 239, and is kept bright even during live view display. When a front projector (a projector is installed on the back side of the shooting space Z) as in the prior art, the live view display screen becomes dark due to the influence of room light, making it difficult to see details. However, by using the rear projector as described above, it is possible to provide a live view image that is sufficiently bright and visible in detail.

  In addition, at the moment of shooting, the portion of the screen plate 60 on which the projected image 25S is projected also functions as the light emitting surface of the core illumination unit 235D, so that there are sufficient users who are subjects from the projected image 25S portion. Can be illuminated with light. Therefore, when the user approaches the camera 24 to take an image, the camera 24 receives not only the illumination light from the surrounding partial illumination unit 232, the spherical illumination units 233A and 233C, the middle central illumination unit 235B, and the like. Sufficient illumination light can also be obtained from the projection image 25S portion at a close position. In particular, since the user's face approaching the camera 24 can be illuminated by the core illumination unit 235D, the face is not darkened, and a good captured image with a sufficient amount of light can be obtained.

  Further, since a part of the display illumination unit 235E protrudes from the back plate 2a of the photographing housing 2 to the back side and is housed inside the editing housing 3, the photographing housing 2 has a thickness in the front-rear direction as much as possible. The distance between the screen plate 60 and the projector 25 can be reduced by a distance required to project the projection image 25S with a sufficient size.

In this way, it is possible to obtain a photographed image that is highly satisfactory for the user regardless of whether the user has taken a whole body photography or a close-up photography, and the edited image is printed on this photographed image. Thus, a photo sticker sheet with high customer satisfaction can be provided to the user.

  Further, since the projection image 25S portion of the screen plate 60 and the projector 25 are covered with the shielding cover 52, the image projected from the projector 25 is the surrounding strobe illumination body 23a, strobe illumination body 231, and fluorescent light. It is possible to prevent light interference from the lamp 23b. Therefore, a clear projected image 25S can be projected.

  Further, since the antireflection sheet 61 is superposed on the surface of the screen plate 60, the light from the fluorescent lamp 23b of the ceiling rear lighting unit 237 and the ceiling central lighting unit 238 is reflected on the surface of the screen plate 60. Can be prevented. Therefore, the projection image 25S is not difficult to see due to the reflected light on the surface of the screen plate 60, and the user can see the projection image 25S well.

  The screen plate 60 has the same configuration on the entire surface, and is configured to project the live view video only on a part of the projection video 25S. However, only the projection video 25S is made of the material of the screen plate 60, Other parts may be made of the same material as that of the diffusion plate 23c.

  In this case, since the screen plate 60 which is more expensive than the diffusion plate 23c can be made smaller while ensuring the function as the display illumination unit 235E, the cost can be reduced.

  Further, although the projector 25 is configured to project an image by direct light on the screen plate 60, it is also possible to project the projection light of the projector 25 after projecting it onto the screen plate 60 by using a mirror or the like. is there.
