Then, by receiving the input test display information and displaying the advertisement data on the advertisement display unit 160 as a test, the operator can select the display or non-display of the advertisement data after performing the test display once. it can.

  Then, it is possible to prevent a possibility that an advertisement that attracts the interest of the user group of the photo sticker creating apparatus 100 is hidden by mistake. Conversely, it is possible to prevent the possibility of displaying a mismatched advertisement on the user layer.

  Therefore, the advertisement display system 1 can display advertisement data according to the installation location and the user layer of the photo sticker creating apparatus 100.

  In addition, in the advertisement data setting accepting process, the advertisement display system 1 performs the input rejection setting for rejecting the input operation by the operator based on the publication period associated with the advertisement data, if it is before the publication period. In addition to displaying the advertisement data before the publication period on the advertisement display unit 160, it is possible not to accept all operations such as display / non-display setting selection and test display selection. The operator can easily recognize that the advertisement data is before the publication period.

  Accordingly, it is possible to pre-distribute and receive advertisement data before the publication period and not allow test display, thereby preventing the advertisement data before the publication period from leaking in an unauthorized manner.

  Further, in the advertisement display process, by not automatically displaying the advertisement data before the publication period on the advertisement display unit 160 based on the publication period stored in association with the advertisement data in the storage unit 202 of the photo sticker creating apparatus 100, The advertisement display system 1 can automatically download advertisement data before the publication period and cannot display it on the advertisement display unit 160 before the publication period. That is, advertisement data can be distributed in advance, and advertisement data automatically downloaded from the server 10 can be prevented from being accidentally released before the start of publication determined by the advertisement distribution source.

  Therefore, the advertisement display system 1 can distribute and download the advertisement data in advance and display the advertisement data in an appropriate publication period.

  Further, the classification attribute information and the frequency attribute information may be set and input by an operator and stored in the advertisement data acquired from the server 10 and stored in the storage unit 202 of the photo sticker creating apparatus 100.

  In addition, the timing at which the photo sticker creation apparatus 100 inquires the server 10 about new advertisement data is after the power of the photo sticker creation apparatus 100 is turned on, but the present invention is not limited to this and may be executed at a predetermined time every day. Alternatively, the advertisement data may be distributed on a storage medium such as a DVD-ROM that is periodically distributed from the server 10.

  In addition, in the advertisement data deletion acquisition process, the new arrival advertisement data is acquired from the server 10 based on the main customer segment. However, the advertisement data deletion acquisition process is not limited to this, and may be based on the installation location or a plurality of installation locations and customer segments. New advertisement data may be acquired based on the combined conditions.

  Further, the control unit 201 of the photo sticker creating apparatus 100 compares the advertisement data disclosure period stored in the storage unit 202 with the current date to determine whether the advertisement data can be disclosed. It may be determined whether the advertisement data can be disclosed.

  In this case, for example, in the advertisement data deletion / acquisition processing, the photo sticker creating apparatus 100 inquires of the server 10 about the publication period, the server 10 compares and determines the current date and the publication period, and the judgment result is used as the photo sticker producing apparatus. To 100. And the control part 201 of the photograph sticker production apparatus 100 deletes automatically the advertisement data which passed the publication period memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 202 based on a determination result.

  Further, the advertisement data may be encrypted in advance, and the encryption may be canceled when the disclosure period is reached, or the encryption may be canceled by inputting a password in the photo sticker creation apparatus 100.

By doing in this way, it is possible to prevent the advertisement data from being browsed and displayed illegally by changing the date setting of the photo sticker creating apparatus 100. Furthermore, the public period can be managed and set collectively on the server 10 side.
Note that the advertisement data may not be automatically deleted, for example, by not providing an end date for the publication period of the advertisement data.

  Further, in the advertisement data setting acceptance process, the input rejection setting to the advertisement data is performed based on the publication period (see steps S361 to S363 in FIG. 13), but this may be performed in the advertisement data deletion acquisition process. . In this case, when the advertisement data setting reception process is executed, the advertisement data setting screen 400 can be displayed first (see step S364 in FIG. 13).

  Further, although the advertisement data setting screen 400 is displayed on the tablet built-in monitor 134, the display is not limited to this, but is displayed on the external monitor 161, displayed on the touch panel monitor 125, or displayed on a dedicated terminal provided in the maintenance door 139. It can be.

Referring to the item of the main user group of the corresponding device ID, it is determined that the main user group is “female”.

  Furthermore, the control unit 20 of the server 10 searches for advertisement data whose classification attribute information is “for women” from among a plurality of advertisement data, and confirms whether there is new arrival advertisement data. Thereafter, response information corresponding to the presence or absence of new advertisement data may be transmitted to the photo sticker creating apparatus 100 via the communication line 50.

  In this way, the installation attribute information table 300 is configured to be able to register information such as device IDs, installation locations, time zones, and main users of a plurality of photo sticker creation apparatuses 100, and delete advertisement data of the photo sticker creation apparatus 100. The acquisition process is inquired of the server 10 for the presence or absence of new advertisement data, and the server 10 is selected according to the device ID of the photo sticker creation apparatus based on the installation attribute information table 300 stored in the advertisement data storage unit 30. Since the new advertisement data is acquired from the server 10, the photo sticker creation apparatus 100 can acquire advertisement data that the user is interested in from the server 10 according to the installation location and the time zone. it can.

  Furthermore, for example, in a store where a plurality of photo sticker creation devices are installed, if the server 10 collectively manages the installation attribute information table 300 for each store, the photo sticker creation devices are installed in all the photo sticker creation devices installed in the store. The attribute information table 300 can be shared.

  Therefore, it is possible to save the operator from having to set one photo sticker creating apparatus one by one. Furthermore, even if the photo sticker creating apparatus 100 is replaced, the operator can save the trouble of resetting the installation attribute information table 300, and the photo sticker creating apparatus 100 can be operated immediately.

  In addition, although the advertisement comparison screen 520 having the upper and lower two screen configurations is displayed on the external monitor 161, the configuration may be two or more screens. Further, although the advertisement comparison screen 520 is used to investigate the likability of the advertisement data, the present invention is not limited to this, and a selection response type questionnaire or the like may be used.

In the advertisement display process of this embodiment, an example in which advertisement data is selected based on the shooting course selected by the user and displayed on the tablet built-in monitor 134 of the editing unit 130 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 19 shows a flowchart of the operation of the advertisement display process in the second embodiment.

  Further, since the appearance of the photo sticker creating apparatus 100, the block configuration of the advertisement display system 1, the advertisement data deletion acquisition process, and the advertisement data setting reception process are the same as those in the first embodiment, detailed description thereof is omitted.

  However, a shooting course selection button (not shown) that can be selected during shooting is displayed on the touch panel monitor 125 of the shooting unit 120. This shooting course selection button is composed of three types: “Beautiful skin course” that adjusts the photo of skin and “Family course” and “Couple course” that change the background image and decoration according to the user. It can be selected and input as appropriate.

  First, as shown in FIG. 19, the control unit 201 of the photo sticker creating apparatus 100 starts an advertisement display process, and inputs an operation to the touch panel monitor 125 to determine whether the user is shooting in the shooting space S of the shooting unit 120. Etc. (step S601).

  If the user is not shooting in the shooting space S (step S601: No), the control unit 201 returns the process to step S601. On the other hand, if the user is shooting in the shooting space S (step S601: Yes), the control unit 201 determines the shooting course selected by the user (step S602).

  Here, if the user has selected the “skin-beautifying course” (step S602: 1), the control unit 201 determines that the user is a female customer (step S603). Then, the control unit 201 adds one numerical value in the “female” column corresponding to the shooting time among the items of the user group by time of the installation attribute information table 300 stored in the storage unit 202 and registers it. The feedback process is performed (step S606).

Further, the control unit 201 selects one advertisement data whose classification attribute information is “for women” from among a plurality of advertisement data stored in the storage unit 202 (step S607).
Thereafter, the control unit 201 determines whether to compare the public period stored in association with the advertisement data and the current date, and whether the advertisement data is set to be displayable (step S608). If the current date is within the public period and the individual setting state column of the advertisement data is set to “display” (step S608: Yes), the control unit 201 determines whether shooting has ended (step S609). ).

  When shooting is finished (step S609: Yes), the storage unit 202 reads out advertisement data and temporarily stores it in the RAM 207 in accordance with an instruction from the control unit 201. Then, the control unit 201 calls the advertisement data from the RAM 207 and displays it on the tablet built-in monitor 134 of the editing unit 130 (step S610). Thereafter, the control unit 201 ends the advertisement display process.

  In step S608, if the current date is outside the publication period and the individual setting status column of the advertisement data is set to “hidden”, the current date is outside the publication period, or the advertisement data When the individual setting state column is set to “non-display” (step S608: No), the control unit 201 sends another advertisement data whose classification attribute information is “for women” from the storage unit 202. Select (step S611).

  Thereafter, the control unit 201 returns the process to step S608 to determine whether the current date is within the period of disclosure of another advertisement data or is set to be displayable.

  In step S609, if the shooting is not completed (step S609: No), the control unit 201 returns the process to step S609 and waits to proceed to the next step until the shooting is completed.

  In step S602, when the user selects “family course” (step S602: 2), the control unit 201 determines that the user is a family customer (step S604).

  Then, the control unit 201 adds one of the numerical values in the “family” column corresponding to the shooting time among the items of the user group by time zone of the installation attribute information table 300 stored in the storage unit 202 and registers it. The feedback process is performed (step S606).

Furthermore, the control unit 201 selects one advertisement data whose classification attribute information is “for family” from among a plurality of advertisement data stored in the storage unit 202 (step S607).
In step S602, when the user selects the “couple course” (step S602: 3), the control unit 201 determines that the user is a couple customer (step S605).

  Then, the control unit 201 adds one numerical value in the “couple” column corresponding to the shooting time among the items of the user group by time of the installation attribute information table 300 stored in the storage unit 202 and registers it. The feedback process is performed (step S606).

Further, the control unit 201 selects one advertisement data whose classification attribute information is “for couple” from among the plurality of advertisement data stored in the storage unit 202 (step S607).
Thus, the advertisement is appropriately displayed by displaying the advertisement data on the tablet built-in monitor 134 based on the classification attribute information associated with the advertisement data, the installation attribute information table 300, and the shooting course selected by the user. An advertisement display system 1 can be provided.

  Specifically, the photo sticker creating apparatus 100 is provided with a photo shooting course selection button that allows a user to input a photo course selection input, and the control unit 201 of the photo sticker creating apparatus 100 is provided with a photo shooting course select button. By discriminating the user group from the inputted shooting course, the photo sticker creating apparatus 100 can determine the user group such as whether the user is a woman or a couple based on the shooting course selected by the user.

  In addition, the advertisement display processing is configured to display the advertisement data selected based on the user layer on the tablet built-in monitor 134, so that the photograph sticker creating apparatus 100 provides the user of the photograph sticker creating apparatus 100 with respect to the user. Appropriate advertising data that the user is likely to be interested in is selected based on the user demographic so that the user does not get bored with the waiting time until the editing unit 130 can edit the image and the waiting time for the output of the photo sticker. And can be displayed on the tablet built-in monitor 134.

  Therefore, there is no possibility that an advertisement that the user is not interested in is displayed on the tablet built-in monitor 134 of the photo sticker creating apparatus 100, and the advertisement that the user is interested in is appropriately displayed. An effect can be obtained.

  Further, the control unit 201 of the photo sticker creating apparatus 100 is provided with a feedback process for correcting and registering the installation attribute information table 300 based on the user layer, so that the installation attribute information table 300 is based on the actual usage record. It can be automatically registered for correction.

  Furthermore, since the usage record is accumulated in the installation attribute information table 300, the advertisement display system 1 can select and display more appropriate advertisement data according to the user layer.

  Note that the shooting course is not limited to the above-described course, and may be various shooting courses that can be input using the touch panel monitor 125 of the photo sticker creating apparatus 100. Furthermore, the discrimination condition of the user layer may be discriminated by a single course among a plurality of shooting courses, or may be discriminated by combining a plurality of shooting courses.

An example of displaying the advertisement data on the external monitor 161 based on the frequency attribute information stored in association with the advertisement data in the advertisement display process of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 20 shows a flowchart of the operation of the advertisement display process in the third embodiment.

Further, since the appearance and configuration of the photo sticker creating apparatus 100 and the block configuration of the advertisement display system 1 are the same as those in the first embodiment, detailed description thereof will be omitted.
The advertisement data is stored in the RAM 207 in association with the advertisement ID every time the advertisement data is displayed once on the external monitor 161.

  In step S344 (see FIG. 12) of the advertisement data deletion acquisition process according to the first embodiment, the control unit 201 of the photo sticker creation apparatus 100 inquires the server 10 about new advertisement data based on the installation attribute information table 300. In the third embodiment, it is assumed that all new arrival advertisement data is acquired regardless of the installation attribute information table 300.

  First, as shown in FIG. 20, the control unit 201 of the photo sticker creating apparatus 100 displays a demonstration screen, an empty guide screen, and the like on the external monitor 161 when the advertisement display process is started (step S621). Since step S621 is the same as steps S501 to S504 (see FIG. 16) of the first embodiment, detailed description thereof is omitted.

  When the display of the demonstration screen ends, the control unit 201 selects one advertisement data from the plurality of advertisement data stored in the storage unit 202 (step S622). When selecting the advertisement data, the control unit 201 refers to the item of the user group by time zone in the installation attribute information table 300 and selects one advertisement data based on the most user group at the current time.

  For example, when the current time is 19:00, the control unit 201 refers to the item of the customer group by time zone in the installation attribute information table 300 and determines that the main user at the current time is “female”. . Then, the control unit 201 selects one of the plurality of advertisement data stored in the storage unit 202, among the advertisement data whose classification attribute information is “for women”.

  Thereafter, the control unit 201 calculates the display frequency of the selected advertisement data based on the display count of the selected advertisement data stored in the RAM 207 and the display count of all advertisement data (step S623). When the display frequency of the selected advertisement data is calculated, the control unit 201 reads the display frequency of the frequency attribute information of the selected advertisement data and compares it with the calculation result (step S624).

  If the calculated display frequency is equal to the display frequency of the frequency attribute information (step S624: Yes), the control unit 201 advances the process to the next step.

  Thereafter, the control unit 201 compares and determines the disclosure period stored in association with the advertisement data and the current date (step S625). If the current date is within the disclosure period (step S625: Yes), the control unit 201 determines whether the advertisement data is set to be displayable (step S626).

  If the individual setting state column of the advertisement data is set to “display” (step S626: Yes), the storage unit 202 reads the advertisement data and temporarily stores it in the RAM 207 according to an instruction from the control unit 201. Then, the control unit 201 calls the advertisement data from the RAM 207 and displays it on the external monitor 161 (step S627). Thereafter, the control unit 201 ends the advertisement display process.

  On the other hand, if the calculated display frequency is not equal to the display frequency of the frequency attribute information in step S624 (step S624: No), or if the current date is outside the public period in step S625 (step S625: No). Alternatively, in step S626, if the individual setting state column of the advertisement data is set to “non-display” (step S626: No), the control unit 201 sets another category attribute information “for women”. One advertisement data is selected from the storage unit 202 (step S628).

  Thereafter, the control unit 201 returns the process to step S623 to calculate the display frequency of another advertisement data, and whether the calculated display frequency is equal to the display frequency of the frequency attribute information or the current date is another advertisement data. It is determined whether it is within the public period or display enabled.

  Thus, by displaying the advertisement data selected based on the installation attribute information table 300 based on the frequency attribute information, the advertisement display system 1 that appropriately displays the advertisement can be provided.

  Specifically, the advertisement display process is configured to display the advertisement data selected based on the installation attribute information table 300 stored in the storage unit 202 of the photograph sticker creating apparatus 100 on the external monitor 161, so that the photograph sticker is displayed. The creation apparatus 100 can select appropriate advertisement data corresponding to the user group classified by time of the installation attribute information table 300 and display the advertisement data on the advertisement display unit.

  Further, since the advertisement display process is configured to display the advertisement data on the external monitor 161 based on the frequency attribute information, the photo sticker creating apparatus 100 displays all the displayable advertisement data with an equal frequency. Instead, the frequency of displaying the advertisement data can be changed based on the frequency attribute information.

For example, when a certain product is to be advertised extensively, the advertisement data of this product can be frequently displayed on the external monitor 161 by increasing the display frequency of the frequency attribute information.
