  Next, the CPU 103 displays a name input screen 310 as shown in FIG. At this time, the CPU 103 may cause the speaker 33 to output a voice prompting the user name to be input. The name input screen 310 may display a timer that counts down the remaining time during which a name can be input.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the name input screen 310 includes name input fields 311A and 311B, input palettes 312A and 312B, and a “OK” button 313. The user uses the input palettes 312A and 312B to input the user name in the name input fields 311A and 311B (step S113). In FIG. 8, hiragana characters are displayed in alphabetical order on the input palettes 312A and 312B. However, Roman characters may be displayed in alphabetical order, and switching between hiragana display and Roman character display is possible. You may be able to. The input palettes 312A and 312B may include a “correct” button for correcting the names input in the name input fields 311A and 311B.

  When the user touches the hiragana in the input palette 312A, the touched hiragana is input to the name input field 311A. When the user touches the hiragana on the input palette 312B, the touched hiragana is input to the name input field 311B. By repeating this operation, the user can input two user names in the name input fields 311A and 311B on the name input screen 310.

  When the user touches the “OK” button 313 on the name input screen 310 or when the time limit for inputting the name has elapsed, the CPU 103 closes the name input screen 310 and ends accepting the input of the user name. . When the CPU 103 finishes accepting the user name input in response to the user touching the “OK” button 313, the CPU 103 treats the character strings in the name input fields 311A and 311B as the input user names. On the other hand, the CPU 103 treats a predetermined character string as the input user name when the acceptance of the input of the user name is terminated when the time limit has elapsed.

(Background image selection processing)
Next, the CPU 103 performs background image selection processing (step S114). The background image selection process will be described in detail below. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the background image selection process.

The background selection screen 320 may display a timer that counts down the remaining time during which the background can be selected.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the background selection screen 320 includes four tabs 321 </ b> A to 321 </ b> D and a background display area 322. The tab 321A displays “set”, the tab 321B displays “normal”, the tab 321C displays “pattern”, and the tab 321D displays “design”.

  FIG. 10 shows the background selection screen 320 when the “set” tab 321A is selected (Yes in step S1142). At this time, a plurality of background image sets 323A to 323H are displayed in the background display area 322 (step S1143). Each of the background image sets 323A to 323F is set corresponding to a predetermined theme, and includes six normal background images. In the background display region 322, six background image sample images 324 are displayed for each of the background image sets 323A to 323H. In the present embodiment, each of the background image sets 323A to 323H includes six normal background images, but each background image set only needs to include two or more normal background images. .

  In the example of FIG. 10, the background image sets 323A to 323H include the “FoToRoom” set, the “Monochrome” set, the “Astringent Color” set, the “White” set, the “Illustration” set, the “Event” set, and the “Birthday”, respectively. "Set" and "anniversary" set. The “event” set 323F is a background image set set corresponding to a season event such as spring, summer, autumn and winter, Halloween, and Christmas. A background image set of any season event is displayed according to the current date and time set in the computer apparatus 103. The “birthday” set 323G is a background image set set corresponding to the birthday. The “anniversary” set 323H is a background image set set corresponding to an anniversary other than the birthday.

  When the “normal” tab 321B, the “pattern” tab 321C, or the “design” tab 321D is selected on the background selection screen 320 (No in step S1142), the background display area 322 includes the selected tab. A plurality of background images corresponding to the category are displayed. The user individually selects six desired background images from these background images (step S1144).

  The user selects a desired background image set by touching the background image set displayed in the background display area 322. When the user selects a background image set (step S1145), the CPU 103 displays a confirmation screen 330 as shown in FIG. 11 on the reception display 31 (step S1146). As shown in FIG. 11, a background image set 331 selected on the background selection screen 320, a “OK” button 332, and a “NO” button 333 are displayed on the confirmation screen 330. The confirmation screen 330 may display a timer that counts down the remaining time during which the background can be selected.

  When the user touches the “No” button 333 on the confirmation screen 330 (No in Step S1147), the CPU 103 displays the background selection screen 320 on the reception display 31 again. At this time, the background selection screen 320 is in a state before the confirmation screen 330 is displayed. That is, when the “No” button 333 is touched on the confirmation screen 330 after the background image set is selected on the background selection screen 320, the re-displayed background selection screen 320 is “set” as shown in FIG. The tab 321A is selected (step S1143).

  When the user touches the “OK” button 332 on the confirmation screen 330 (Yes in step S1147) or when the time limit for selecting the background image has elapsed, the CPU 103 displays the background selection screen 320 and the confirmation screen 330. Close and end the selection of the background image. When the CPU 103 finishes accepting selection of the background image in response to the user touching the “OK” button 332, the CPU 103 treats the background image set selected by the user or each background image as the selected background image. . On the other hand, the CPU 103 automatically selects the six background images when the acceptance of the selection of the background image is terminated when the time limit has elapsed.

  Returning to FIG. 7, the description of the advance customer service process will be continued. In the background image selection process (step S114), when the “anniversary” set 323H is selected (Yes in step S115), the CPU 103 displays a date input screen 340 as shown in FIG. .

  As shown in FIG. 12, the date input screen 340 includes a date input field 341, an input palette 342, and a “OK” button 343. When the date input screen 340 is first displayed on the reception display 31, the current date set in the computer device 103 may be input in advance in the date input field 341 as the date to be input. The date input field 341 may be blank. The input palette 342 displays numbers 0 to 9, a “return to one” button, and a “delete all” button. The date input screen 340 may display a timer that counts down the remaining time during which the date can be input.

  When the user touches a number on the input palette 342, the touched number is input to the date input field 341. By repeating this operation, the user can input a desired date into the date input field 341 (step S116). In the input palette 342, when the user touches the “return one” button, the last character in the date input field 341 is erased, and when the user touches the “erase all” button, all of the date input field 341 is deleted. Will be erased.

  When the user touches the “OK” button 343 or the time limit for inputting the date elapses, the CPU 103 closes the date input screen 340 and ends the date input acceptance. When the CPU 103 finishes accepting the date input in response to the user touching the “OK” button 343, the CPU 103 treats the number in the date input field 341 as the input date. On the other hand, the CPU 103 treats the current date as the input date when it finishes accepting the date input in response to the elapse of the time limit.

  When the “birthday” set 323G is selected in the background image selection process (step S114) (No in step S115 and Yes in step S117), the CPU 103 displays a date input / name selection screen as shown in FIG. 350 is displayed on the reception display 31.

  The date input / name selection screen 350 includes a date input area 351 and a name selection area 352, as shown in FIG. Note that the date input / name selection screen 350 may display a timer for counting down the remaining time during which a date can be input, a name can be selected, and a name can be input, which will be described later.

  The date input area 351 includes a date input field 3511, an input palette 3512, and a “OK” button 3513. When the date input / name selection screen 350 is first displayed on the reception display 31, even if the current date set in the computer apparatus 103 is input in advance in the date input field 3511 as the date to be input. The date input field 3511 may be blank. In the input palette 3512, numbers 0 to 9, a “return one” button, and a “delete all” button are displayed.

  When the user touches a number on the input palette 3512, the touched number is input to the date input field 3511. By repeating this operation, the user can input the birthday date of the user himself / herself or a third party in the date input field 3511 (step S118). In the input palette 3512, when the user touches the “return” button, the last character in the date input field 3511 is deleted, and when the user touches the “erase all” button, all the characters in the date input field 3511 are deleted. Is erased.

  When the user touches the “OK” button 3513 and the name selection described later has not been completed, the CPU 103 displays a message (not shown) for requesting standby until the name selection is completed in the date input area 351. Let

  As shown in FIG. 13, the name selection area 352 includes name display fields 3521 </ b> A and 3521 </ b> B, a “new input” button 3522, and a “decision” button 3523. A cursor 3524 is displayed on the name display field 3521A or 3521B. In the name display fields 3521A and 3521B, the user name input in step S113 is displayed. Although the user name is displayed in hiragana in the name display fields 3521A and 3521B in FIG. 13, the user name may be displayed in Roman letters. You may display both hiragana and romaji.

  When it is not necessary to input a new name (No in step S119), that is, when a photo sticker is created in commemoration of the user's own birthday, the user touches the name display field 3521A or 3521B. Thus, the user name of the birthday is selected (step S118). The cursor 3524 moves onto the touched name display field 3521A or 3521B.

  When the user touches the “OK” button 3523 and the date input is not completed, the CPU 103 displays a message (not shown) for requesting standby until the date input is completed in the name selection area 352. Let If the date input and name selection have been completed, or if a predetermined time limit has elapsed, the CPU 103 closes the date input / name selection screen 350 and ends accepting date input and name selection. To do.

  When the user touches the “OK” buttons 3513 and 3523 and the acceptance of the date input and the name selection is completed, the CPU 103 treats the number in the date input field 3511 as the input date, and the cursor 3524 is arranged. The character string in the displayed name display field 3521A, 3521B is handled as the selected user name. On the other hand, when the input of the date and the acceptance of the selection of the name are completed due to the elapse of the time limit, the CPU 103 treats the current date as the input date, and the name display field 3521A of the one on which the cursor 3524 is arranged. , 3521B is handled as the selected name.

  When a new name is input (Yes in step S119), that is, when a photo sticker is created to commemorate the birthday of a third party other than the user, the user selects “New input” in the name selection area 352. Touch the “Yes” button 3522. As a result, as shown in FIG. 14, the CPU 103 switches the name selection area 352 of the date input / name selection screen 350 to the name input area 362 and displays it on the reception display 31. A screen in which the name selection area 352 is switched to the name input area 362 is referred to as a date input / name input screen 350. If a timer is displayed on the date / name input screen 350, the countdown continues.

  The name input area 362 includes name input fields 3621A and 3621B, a “return one” button 3622, an “erase all” button 3623, a “correct Romaji” button 3624, an input palette 3625, and “do not input name”. ”Button 3626 and“ OK ”button 3627. In the input palette 3625, hiragana characters are displayed in alphabetical order.

  When the user touches the hiragana of the input palette 3625, the touched hiragana is input to the name input field 3621A, and a Roman character corresponding to the hiragana is input to the name input field 3621B. By repeating this operation, the user inputs a third party name other than the user into the name input fields 3621A and 3621B (step S120).

  When the user wishes to correct the name input in the name input fields 3621A and 3621B, the user touches a “return one” button 3622 or a “delete all” button 3623. When the “return one” button 3622 is touched, one of the last hiragana characters among the characters input in the name input column 3621A is deleted, and the name input column 3621B corresponding to the hiragana deleted from the name input column 3621A is deleted. Romaji is erased. When “Erase all” button 3623 is touched, all the characters input in name input fields 3621A and 3621B are deleted.

  When it is desired to correct only the name of the Roman alphabet displayed in the name input field 3621B, the user touches the “correct Romaji” button 3624. As a result, the characters in the name input field 3621B are deleted, and the Roman characters are displayed in alphabetical order on the input palette 3625. The user touches the Roman letter on the input palette 3625 and inputs the correct Roman letter name in the name input field 3621B.

  If the user touches the “OK” button 3627 on the date input / name selection screen 350 and the date input has not been completed, the CPU 103 requests a standby message until the date input is completed (not shown). ) Is displayed in the name input area 362. When the user touches the “OK” buttons 3513 and 3627 or when a predetermined time limit has elapsed, the CPU 103 closes the date input / name input screen 350 and ends the date and name input reception.

  When the user touches the “OK” buttons 3513 and 3627 to end the input of the date and name, the CPU 103 treats the number in the date input field 3511 as the input date, and the name input fields 3621A and 3621B. Is treated as a newly entered third party name. On the other hand, when the input of the date and name ends due to the elapse of the time limit, the CPU 103 treats the current date as the input date, assumes that no third party name has been input, In the name selection screen 350, the characters in the name display fields 3521A and 3521B on which the cursor 3524 is arranged are handled as the selected names.

  Returning to FIG. 7, the description of the advance customer service process will be continued. Next, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the shooting booth 2 is vacant (step S121). When the photography booth 2 is not empty (No in step S121), the CPU 103 displays a screen (not shown) for requesting the user to wait on the reception display 31 (step S122). When the photography booth 2 is empty (Yes in step S121), the CPU 103 displays a screen (not shown) for guiding the user to the photography booth 2 on the reception display 31 (step S123). At this time, the CPU 103 may cause the speaker 33 to output a sound for guiding the user to the photographing booth 2.

  After guiding the user to the imaging booth 2 (step S123), various input data input by the user is stored in the computer device 101 (step S124). Specifically, data such as the input user name, the selected background image set or individual background image, the input date, the selected user name, and the input third party name are stored in the computer device. 101. The computer apparatus 101 stores these data in the memory 105.

(Photo image generation processing)
Next, the photographic image generation process (step S20) will be described. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing photographic image generation processing.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the CPU 103 displays a shooting start screen (not shown) on the front display 22 in the shooting booth 2 (step S211). For example, a shooting start button is displayed on the shooting start screen, and subsequent processing is started when the user touches the shooting start button.

  When the user touches the shooting start button, the CPU 103 causes the front display 22 to display a screen (not shown) that allows the user to select an angle of view. On the angle-of-view selection screen, for example, an image image of “Two people shooting” and an image image of “Two or more people shooting” are displayed side by side. The user selects an angle of view by touching one of the two image images (step S212).

  The CPU 103 performs zoom setting of the camera 21 so that the angle of view selected by the user is obtained (step S213).

  After the zoom setting of the camera 21 is performed, the camera 21 performs “normal shooting” and “space shooting” based on the control of the CPU 103 (steps S214 and S215). Using the six background images selected in step S114, the user who is the subject is photographed six times. In the background image selection in step S114, four background images for normal shooting and two background images for space shooting are selected. Therefore, first, in “normal shooting”, the user is shot four times to generate four photographic images. Subsequently, in “space photography”, the user is photographed twice to generate two photographic images.

  Here, “normal shooting” and “space shooting” will be briefly described. The photographic image generated by the “space photography” is processed so that an area above the user who is the subject becomes large from the viewpoint of easily arranging an editing tool image (graffiti image) described later. That is, each photographic image photographed by the camera 21 is trimmed in the process of creating a photo sticker so as to have a desired image size. The area above each user is larger than the “normally photographed” photographic image.

  When performing “normal shooting” and “space shooting”, the chroma key capture board 17 performs a chroma key process to make the portion of the back panel 24 that appears behind the subject of the image captured by the camera 21 transparent. The CPU 103 superimposes the chroma keyed video and the selected background image and displays them live on the front display 22. Thereby, it is possible to take a picture while making the user image the finish of the photo sticker.

  When the user selects a background image set in the background image selection process (step S114), the background image used for live display is each normal background image included in the background image set. The order of use of the normal background images in the background image set may be determined in advance and stored in the HDD 104. When the user does not select a background image set in the background image selection process (step S114), that is, displayed on the “normal” tab 321B, the “pattern” tab 321C, or the “design” tab 321D on the background selection screen 320. When the user individually selects a background image from the plurality of background images that have been selected, each background image selected by the user is used for live display.

  In “normal shooting” and “space shooting”, the CPU 103 displays operation guidance and the like on the front display 22 as appropriate, and appropriately outputs voice of operation guidance, BGM, and the like from the speaker 450. When a chair is installed in the shooting booth 2, a message recommending that the user sit on the chair may be displayed on the front display 22 or a similar message may be output from the speaker 450 during “space shooting”. . If the user is seated on a chair and performs "space shooting", the position of each user's head can be matched, so in the photographic image of "space shooting" after trimming, The variation in the size of the area is reduced, and a well-balanced image can be generated.

(Special shooting)
When the angle of view of “Two-person shooting” is selected in step S212, the CPU 103 performs “special shooting” after completion of “normal shooting” and “space shooting” (step S216). Hereinafter, “special shooting” will be described. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the special photographing process.

  The CPU 103 displays a special shooting start screen (not shown) on the front display 22 (step S2161). The special shooting start screen displays a button for selecting either “float shooting” or “oblique shooting” along with a message to start “special shooting”. When the user selects “Float Shooting”, a finished composite image is created in which characters, figures, speech balloons, etc. are visible. When the user selects “oblique photography”, a finished composite image is created that effectively uses the lighting effect.

(Float shooting)
When the user selects “float shooting” (Yes in step S2162), and a background image set corresponding to a predetermined theme is selected in the background image selection process (step S114) (Yes in step S2163). ), The CPU 103 determines a special background image corresponding to the theme of the selected background image set (step S2164). CPU103 also determines the decoration image according to the theme of the selected background image set (step S2165). A decorative image is an image that is mainly combined with the foreground of a photographic image. The special background image data and the decoration image data are stored in the HDD 104, and there are a plurality of special background image data and a plurality of decoration image data corresponding to the theme of one background image set. The CPU 103 randomly selects one special background image from a plurality of special background images according to the theme of the selected background image set, and randomly selects one decoration image from the plurality of decoration images. Determine automatically. Alternatively, a combination of a plurality of special background images or a plurality of decoration images may be displayed on the front display 22 and determined based on a user's selection operation. Further, one special background image data and one decoration image data are stored in the HDD 104 corresponding to the theme of one background image set, and the special background image and its decoration are selected according to the theme of the selected background image set. The image may be automatically determined. In the present embodiment, the “background image set corresponding to a predetermined theme” is an “event” set, a “birthday” set, and an “anniversary” set. The special background image and the decoration image corresponding to the theme of the selected background image set are included in the “special composition image”.

  The design of the special background image and the decoration image has a sense of unity with the design of the corresponding background image set. For example, the special background image and decoration image corresponding to the “Birthday” set are based on a character image “Happy Birthday” or a user name or a third party name input in the pre-service process. The generated name image or the date image generated based on the date input in the pre-service process includes an image arranged at a predetermined position. The special background image and decoration image corresponding to the “anniversary” set are “Anniversary”, a character image that is inserted in advance, a name image that is generated based on the user name input in the pre-service process, or a prior image The date image generated based on the date input in the customer service process includes an image arranged at a predetermined position. In addition, the special background image and the decoration image may include a message image including a user name, a third party name, or a date input in the pre-service process. The decoration image may include a character string image, a graphic image, a balloon image, or the like.

  The user selects “Float shooting” (Yes in step S2162), and in the background image selection process (step S114), a background set other than the background image set corresponding to the predetermined theme or an individual background image is selected. If the result is NO (step S2163: NO), the CPU 103 selects a background image and decoration image for “float photography” from the background image data in the HDD 104 (step S2166). The background image and decoration image for “float photography” selected at this time are the special background image and decoration image used when the “event” set, “birthday” set, or “anniversary” set is selected. Although it is preferable that it is a general purpose thing different from, it may be common.

  Note that the image to be combined with the photographic image taken by “float photography” may be only the background image or only the decoration image. In steps S2164 to S2165, a special background image and / or decoration image (special composition image) to be combined with the photographic image captured by “float imaging” may be determined as appropriate. Similarly, in step S2166, a background image and / or a decoration image to be combined with a photographic image photographed by “float photographing” may be determined as appropriate.

  After step S2165 or S2166, the camera 21 shoots the user once and generates one photographic image based on the control of the CPU 103 (step S2168). At this time, the CPU 103 performs live display on the front display 22 by superimposing the background image determined in step S2164 or S2166, the chroma image processed live video captured by the camera 21, and the decoration image determined in step S2165 or S2166. indicate. The name and date input in the pre-service process may or may not be reflected in the background image and decoration image in live display.

(Oblique photography)
When the user selects “oblique photography” (NO in step S2162), CPU 103 selects a background image for “oblique photography” from the background image data in HDD 104 (step S2167).

  After step S2167, the camera 21 captures the user once based on the control of the CPU 103, and generates one photographic image (step S2168). At this time, for example, the CPU 103 controls the lighting devices 23B to 23H so that the amount of light differs between the right side and the left side of the user. As a result, a photographic image having a stereoscopic effect is generated by being illuminated from either the right side or the left side of the user. Further, the CPU 103 superimposes the background image determined in step S <b> 2167 and the live video imaged by the camera 21 on the front display 22 in a superimposed manner.

  Returning to FIG. 15, the description of the photographic image generation process will be continued. After the “special shooting” (step S216), the CPU 103 causes the front display 22 to display a screen (not shown) for allowing the user to select the eye size and the image brightness when the image is finished. The user selects the size of the eyes and the brightness of the image on this screen (step S217).

  The CPU 103 performs image processing corresponding to the size and brightness of the eyes selected in step S217 on each photographic image generated in steps S214 to S216, and performs trimming processing so as to obtain a predetermined image size. (Step S218). As a result, four normal photographic images based on the four photographic images generated by the “normal shooting” and two normal photographic images based on the two photographic images generated by the “spatial shooting”. , And one special photo image based on the photo image generated by the “float shooting” or “oblique light shooting” is generated, stored in the HDD 104, and used in the image editing process described later (step S219). .

  After generating the photographic image, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the editing booth 4 is free (step S220). When the editing booth 4 is not empty (No in step S220), the CPU 103 displays a screen (not shown) for requesting the user to wait on the front display 22 (step S221). If the editing booth 4 is vacant (Yes in step S220), the CPU 103 displays a screen (not shown) for guiding the user to the editing booth 4 on the front display 22 (step S222). Further, the CPU 103 may cause the speaker 450 to output a sound for guiding the user to the editing booth 4.

(Image editing process)
Next, the image editing process (step S30) will be described. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the image editing process.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 to display a movement waiting screen (not shown) waiting for a user to move from the shooting booth 2 to the editing booth 4 (step S <b> 311).

  When the user who has moved from the shooting booth 2 to the editing booth 4 touches the movement waiting screen with the touch pen 412, the CPU 103 starts counting down the remaining editing time (step S 312).

(Doodle processing)
After step S312, the CPU 103 starts graffiti processing (editing processing) (step S313). The CPU 103 displays an editing screen 410 as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the edit screen 410 includes edit areas 4101A and 4101B, composite image display areas 4102A and 4102B, edit tool selection tabs 4103A and 4103B, edit tool display areas 4104A and 4104B, and a name display area 4105. And END buttons 4106A and 4106B. When the user selects the “anniversary” set or the “birthday” set in the background image selection process (step S114), a date display area 4107 is also displayed on the editing screen 410.

  In the initial state, the six normal photograph images generated in step S219 are displayed in the composite image display areas 4102A and 4102B, respectively, and one of the normal photograph images is displayed in the edit areas 4101A and 4102B. Yes. In the edit areas 4101A and 4102B, a background image corresponding to the normal photo image is displayed superimposed on the subject image subjected to the chroma key process based on the normal photo image. The user can generate an edited image corresponding to the normal photographic image in the editing area 4101A using the left touch pen 412 (FIG. 4) toward the screen. Further, the user can generate an edited image corresponding to the normal photographic image in the editing area 4102B by using the right touch pen 412 (FIG. 4) toward the screen. When the user touches one of the images in the composite image display area 4102A with the touch pen 412 on the left side, the touched image is displayed in the editing area 4101A. When the user touches one of the images in the composite image display area 4102B with the touch pen 412 on the right side, the touched image is displayed in the editing area 4102B.

  In the editing tool display areas 4104A and 4104B, editing tool images 4108 corresponding to the selected editing tool selection tabs 4103A and 4103B are displayed, respectively. For example, when the “SPECIAL (recommended)” tab is selected, the editing tool image 4108 created by the CPU 103 based on the user name input in the name input process (step S113) is displayed in the editing tool display areas 4104A and 4104B. Is displayed. Although not particularly illustrated, when the user selects the “anniversary” set or the “birthday” set in the background image selection process (step S114), the editing tool display areas 4104A and 4104B include date input processes (steps S116, S118, Alternatively, the editing tool image 4108 created by the CPU 103 based on the date input in S120) can be displayed.

  In the name display area 4105, the name input in the name input process (step S113) is displayed in the initial state. When the date display area 4107 is displayed on the editing screen 410, the date input in the date input process (step S116, S118, or S120) is displayed in the date display area 4107 in the initial state.

  Here, processing for correcting a name on the editing screen 410 will be described. In the background image selection process (step S <b> 114), when the user selects the “anniversary” set or the “birthday” set, the date can be corrected on the editing screen 410. However, the date correction process is almost the same as the name correction process, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  When the user on the right side of the screen touches the “correct” button 4109B with the touch pen 412, a name correction area 4110B is displayed on the right side of the edit screen 410 as shown in FIG. In the name correction area 4110B, for example, a name input field such as a name input screen 310 (FIG. 8), an input palette, a “OK” button, and the like are displayed so that the name can be re-input, although not particularly illustrated. The In the name correction area 4110B, only one user name may be corrected, or both user names may be corrected. In FIG. 19, the background image including the name image is referred to as “name background”. A stamp image including a name image is referred to as a “name stamp”.

  When the user corrects the name in the name correction area 4110B and touches the “OK” button (not shown) with the touch pen 412, the name correction area 4110B is closed, and the state returns to the state of the editing screen 410 in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 19, the name correction has not yet been reflected in the name background of the normal photo images in the editing areas 4101A and 4102B.

  The CPU 103 reflects the corrected name on the name background and name stamp.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 19, the CPU 103 displays message images 4111A and 4111B indicating that the names have been corrected in the vicinity of the editing areas 4101A and 4102B on the editing screen 410.

  When message images 4111A and 4111B are touched by the user, name backgrounds reflecting the name correction are displayed in editing areas 4101A and 4102B. In the example of FIG. 19, the message image 4111A on the left side of the editing screen 410 is touched, and the name background reflecting the name correction is displayed in the editing area 4101A. When the name stamp before correction has already been input as the edited image, the name stamp before correction is displayed in an overlapping manner on the name background reflecting the name correction in the editing areas 4101A and 4102B. The name correction is also reflected in the editing tool images 4108 in the editing tool display areas 4104A and 4104B. However, the name correction is not reflected on the editing tool image included in the input edited image. In the present embodiment, only the user name input in step S113 can be corrected, and the third party name input in step S120 cannot be corrected.

  When the user touches the “END” button 4106 on the edit screen 410 or when a predetermined time limit elapses, the CPU 103 closes the edit screen 410 and ends the graffiti process.

  Then, the CPU 103 synthesizes the background image and the edited image generated by the graffiti process for each of the “normal shooting” and “space shooting” normal photo images to generate a normal combined image (step S314).

  More specifically, the CPU 103 extracts a subject area from each of the normal photography images of “normal photography” and “spatial photography”, and generates a subject image with a transparent background. When the background image set is selected in the background image selection process (step S114), the CPU 103 determines each subject image generated from the normal photo images of “normal shooting” and “space shooting” and the selected background image. Each normal background image included in the set is synthesized. When an individual background image is selected in the background image selection process (step S114), the CPU 103 individually selects each of the subject images generated from the “normal shooting” and “spatial shooting” normal photo images, and the individual subject images. Combine each background image. If the background image includes a name image, the name input in the name input process (step S113) is reflected on the background image, and then the background image and each of the subject images of “normal shooting” and “space shooting” are used. Synthesize. Further, the edited images generated by the graffiti process are combined to generate six normal composite images.

  The image size of the subject image for “normal shooting” and “spatial shooting” is equal to the image size of the background image combined therewith. If necessary, a corresponding frame image having a sense of unity with the background image may be combined with the foreground of the subject image. The name image and date image described above may be included in the frame image so as not to be hidden by the subject image.

(Sheet image generation processing)
Next, the CPU 103 generates a sheet image (step S315). FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing sheet image generation processing.

  As illustrated in FIG. 20, when “float shooting” of “special shooting” is performed in the photo image generation process (Yes in step S 3151), the CPU 103 displays a name confirmation screen (not shown) on the editing display 411. Is displayed (step S3152). On the name confirmation screen, the user confirms the position of the name to be arranged in the “float photography” photo image, and changes the name arrangement as necessary. For example, the user can change the arrangement of the names on the left and right by an operation on the name confirmation screen.

  Next, the CPU 103 selects a sheet design image for the “event” set, the “birthday” set, and the “anniversary” set from the sheet design images of the HDD 104 (step S3153). In the present embodiment, the sheet design images for the “event” set, the “birthday” set, and the “anniversary” set are common and are predetermined as the sheet design image for “float photography”. In the present embodiment, the sheet design images for the “event” set, the “birthday” set, and the “anniversary” set have a rectangular shape that is longer in the vertical direction than in the horizontal direction. However, the shape of the sheet image is not limited to this, and may be a rectangle or the like whose width is longer than vertical.

  The CPU 103 generates a subject image from the special photograph image of “float shooting” (step S3154). The CPU 103 uses the “event” set, the “birthday” set, and the “anniversary” set based on the subject image, the sheet design image determined in step S3153, and each image generated in the process before step S3153. Is generated (step S3155).

  When the “event” set, the “birthday” set, or the “anniversary” set is selected in the background image selection process (step S114) and “float shooting” is performed in the photo image generation process (Yes in step S2162) Only the sheet image corresponding to the selected background image set includes the special photo image of “float shooting”. Hereinafter, a case where the “birthday” set is selected in the background image selection process (step S114) and “float shooting” is performed in the photographic image generation process (Yes in step S2162) will be described as an example.

  First, a method for generating a sheet image for the “birthday” set will be described. The CPU 103 extracts a subject area from the special photograph image of “float photography”, and generates a subject image with a transparent background (step S3154). As shown in FIG. 21, the CPU 103 places a special background image P2 corresponding to the “birthday” set on the special area E1 of the sheet design image P1 determined in step S3153, a subject image P3 on the special background image P2, and a subject. The decorative image P4 corresponding to the “birthday” set is placed on the image P3 so as to be combined. As a result, a sheet image for the “birthday” set is generated (step S3155). The special background image P2 and the decoration image P4 are determined in steps S2164 and S2165.

  The image sizes of the special background image P2 and the decoration image P4 are larger than the image size of the subject image P3. The image size of the special background image P2 is equal to the image size of the decoration image P4. At the time of printing the photo sticker, the image size of the special background image P2 and the decoration image P4 is 2368 pixels wide × 1894 pixels long, and the image size of the subject image P3 is 1240 pixels wide × 1550 pixels long (horizontal: vertical = 1: 1.25). The position of the subject image P3 on the special background image P2 is not particularly limited. For example, the lower left corner of the subject image P3 is aligned with the lower left corner of the special background image P2 (FIG. 22A), or the special background. The midpoint of the lower side of the subject image P3 is aligned with the midpoint of the lower side of the image P2 (FIG. 22B), the lower right corner of the subject image P3 is aligned with the lower right corner of the special background image P2 (FIG. 22C), It is conceivable to align the center of the subject image P3 with the center of the background image P2 (FIG. 22D).

  When the name image including the user name or the third party name is included in the sheet design image P1, the special background image P2, or the special background image P3, the sheet design image P1, the special background image P2, or the special background image P3 includes The user name input in step S113 or modified in step S313 or the third party name input in step S120 is reflected. When the date image including the date is included in the sheet design image P1, the special background image P2, or the special background image P3, the sheet design image P1, the special background image P2, or the special background image P3 includes steps S116, S118, or The date entered in S120 or modified in step S313 is reflected.

  The decoration image P3 includes a character string image, a graphic image, a balloon image, and the like. When the special background image P3 includes a balloon image, image processing is performed so that a portion of the balloon image arranged on the subject image is transparent.

  Next, the CPU 103 arranges the six normal composite images generated in step S314 in the normal area E2 (FIG. 21) of the sheet design image P1. Thereby, the sheet image for the “birthday” set is generated.

  In the sheet design image P1, the special area E1 is arranged above the normal area E2. However, the positions of the special area and the normal area on the sheet design image are not particularly limited. For example, a special area may be arranged below the normal area on the sheet design image, or the normal area may be divided into two and the special area may be arranged between the normal areas.

  The sheet images for the “event” set and the “anniversary” set are images of one of the six normal composite images generated in step S314 on the sheet design image P1 common to the “birthday” set. It is generated by increasing the size and arranging it in the special area E1, and arranging six normal composite images in the normal area E2.

  If the “event” set, “birthday” set, or “anniversary” set is not selected in the background image selection process (step S114), the sheets for the “event” set, “birthday” set, and “anniversary” set In any case, one of the six normal composite images generated in step S314 on the sheet design image P1 is placed in the special area E1 with the image size increased, and the six normal composite images are displayed. It is generated by arranging in the normal area E2.

  Returning to FIG. 20, the description of the sheet image generation process will be continued. The CPU 103 selects a plurality of “two” and “three or more” sheet design images from the sheet design image of the HDD 104 (step S3156). In the plurality of sheet design images, a vertically long rectangle and a horizontally long rectangle are mixed. The CPU 103 generates a sheet image by arranging the normal composite image generated in step S314 at a predetermined position on the selected sheet design image (step S3157). Among the sheet design images for “two people”, there is a sheet design image for “float photography”. When “float photography” is performed in the photographic image generation process (Yes in step S2162), the background image determined in step S2166, “in the predetermined position on the sheet design image for“ float photography ”,“ The subject image obtained by performing chroma key processing on the special photograph image of “float photography” and the decoration image determined in step S2166 are arranged in an overlapping manner.

(Sheet layout selection process)
Returning to FIG. 17, the description of the image editing process will be continued. Next, the CPU 103 performs processing for causing the user to select a sheet image to be printed on the sticker paper from the generated sheet images. That is, the CPU 103 causes the user to select a desired sheet layout (step S316).

  First, the CPU 103 displays a sheet layout selection screen 420 as shown in FIGS. 23A to 23C and FIGS. 24A to 24D on the editing display 411.

  As shown in FIG. 23A, the sheet layout selection screen 420 includes a sheet layout display area 4201, an “event” tab 4202, a “two-person” tab 4203, and a “multi-segment” tab 4204.

("Event" sheet layout selection operation)
When the “event” set, the “birthday” set, or the “anniversary” set is selected in the background image selection process (step S114), the sheet layout selection screen 420 has an “event” tab 4202 as shown in FIG. Displayed in the selected state. When the “event” tab 4202 is selected on the sheet layout selection screen 420, the sheet layout display area 4201 is divided into a left area 4201A and a right area 4201B.

  A sheet image list 4205, a preview image 4204, and an “OK” button 4206 are displayed in the left area 4201A and the right area 4201B, respectively. The sheet image list 4205 includes the “birthday” set sheet image 4205A, the “anniversary” set sheet image 4205B, and the “event” set sheet image 4205C generated in step S3155. FIG. 23A is an initial display example of the sheet layout selection screen 420 when the “birthday” set is selected in the background image selection process (step S114). Therefore, the sheet image 4205A of the “birthday” set is used as the preview image 4204. It is enlarged.

  The user can select a sheet image of a desired sheet layout in the left area 4201A by touching the left area 4201A with the left touch pen 412 toward the screen. Further, the user can select a sheet image of a desired sheet layout in the right area 4201B by touching the right area 4201B with the right touch pen 412 toward the screen.

  In the sheet image list 4205, when the user selects a sheet image corresponding to the background image set that was not selected in the background image selection process (step S114), the user selects an image to be displayed on the selected sheet image. You can choose. For example, as shown in FIG. 23B, when the user touches the sheet image 4205B of the “anniversary” set in the right area 4201B or the sheet image 4205C of the “event” set with the right touch pen 412, an image is selected in the right area 4201B. An area 4207 is displayed. In the image selection area 4207, a plurality of normal composite images generated in step S314 are displayed. The user can select an image to be displayed largely on the selected sheet image 4205B or 4205C by touching a desired image on the image selection area 4207. When the user touches a desired image on the image selection area 4207, the image selection area 4207 is closed. Then, the selected sheet image 4205B or 4205C is displayed as a preview image 4204, and in the selected sheet image 4205B or 4205C, the image touched on the image selection area 4207 is enlarged and arranged at a predetermined position. The

  The user touches an “OK” button 4206 after selecting a desired sheet image in each of the left region 4201A and the right region 4201B. FIG. 23C shows an example in which the user touches the “OK” button 4206 in the left area 4201 </ b> A with the left touch pen 412. At this time, since the selection of the sheet layout for “event” is confirmed in the left area 4201A, the “multi-division” tab 4204 is not displayed. If the selection of the sheet image in the right area 4201B is not completed, a message 4216 requesting standby is displayed in the left area 4201A as shown in FIG. 23C. When the selection of the sheet layout in the right area 4201B is also confirmed, the CPU 103 closes the sheet layout selection screen 420 and ends the reception of the sheet layout selection.

("2-person" sheet layout selection operation)
As shown in FIG. 24A, when the “two-person” tab 4203 is selected, the sheet layout display area 4201 is divided into a left area 4201A and a right area 4201B as in the case where the “event” tab 4202 is selected. Is done. The user can operate the left area 4201A using the left touch pen 412 toward the screen and the right area 4201B using the right touch pen 412 toward the screen.

  When the “two-person” tab 4203 is selected, first, a sheet image list 4208 is displayed as shown in the left area 4201A of FIG. 24A. The sheet image list 4208 includes a plurality of “two people” sheet images generated in step S3157. The sheet image list 4208 includes a sheet image forming a vertically long rectangle and a sheet image forming a horizontally long rectangle.

  The user selects a sheet image having a desired sheet layout by touching one of the sheet images displayed in the sheet image list 4208 with the touch pen 412. FIG. 24A shows a display example after the user touches one of the sheet images of the sheet image list 4208 displayed in the right area 4201B with the touch pen 412. When the user selects a sheet image in the sheet image list 4208 in the right area 4201B, a preview image 4209 of the selected sheet image is displayed largely near the center of the right area 4201B as shown in FIG. 24A. In FIG. 24A, a vertically long sheet image is displayed as a preview image 4209. A thumbnail image 4210 is displayed above the preview image 4209. The thumbnail image 4210 is a reduced display of the sheet design image corresponding to each sheet image in the sheet image list 4208. On the thumbnail image 4210 corresponding to the preview image 4209, a selection display 4211 indicating that it is being selected is displayed.

  FIG. 24B is a display example after the user touches one of the sheet images of the sheet image list 4208 (FIG. 24A) displayed in the left area 4201A with the touch pen 412. When the user touches the sheet image in the sheet image list 4208 in the left area 4201A, a preview image 4209 of the selected sheet image is displayed largely near the center of the left area 4201A as shown in FIG. 24B. In the left area 4201A of FIG. 24B, a horizontally long sheet image is displayed as a preview image 4209.

  Here, when the sheet layout of the selected sheet image is to enlarge one of the normal composite images, an image selection area 4207 is displayed as shown in FIG. 24C. When the user touches a desired image in the image selection area 4207, the image selection area 4207 is closed. Then, the image touched on the image selection area 4207 is enlarged and arranged at a predetermined position of the sheet image.

  When a sheet image is selected from the sheet image list 4208, a “return” button 4212, an “OK” button 4213, a left arrow 4214, and a right arrow 4215 are displayed together with a preview image 4209 and a thumbnail image 4210.

  When the user touches the left arrow 4214, the selection display 4211 moves from the current thumbnail image 4210 to the thumbnail image 4210 adjacent to the left, and a sheet image corresponding to the moved thumbnail image 4210 is displayed as a preview image 4209. The When the user touches the right arrow 4215, the selection display 4211 moves from the current thumbnail image 4210 to the right adjacent thumbnail image 4210, and a sheet image corresponding to the moved thumbnail image 4210 is displayed as a preview image 4209. The

  When the user touches the “return” button 4212, the sheet image list 4208 is displayed again.

  When the user touches the “OK” button 4213 and the other user's layout selection operation has not been completed, a message 4216 requesting standby is displayed as shown in FIG. 24D, and the “multi-segmentation” tab 4204 is displayed. Disappears. When the selection of the sheet layout in both the left area 4201A and the right area 4201B is confirmed, the CPU 103 closes the sheet layout selection screen 420 and ends the reception of the sheet layout selection.

("Multi-split" sheet layout selection operation)
When the “multi-division” tab 4204 is selected, the sheet layout display area 4201 is not divided into left and right, unlike the case where the “event” tab 4202 or the “two-person” tab 4202 is selected. In the sheet layout display area 4201, a sheet image list including the sheet images for “three or more” generated in step S3157 and a preview image obtained by enlarging one of the sheet images in the sheet image list are displayed. The For example, the sheet image list is displayed on the right half of the sheet layout display area 4201, and the preview image is displayed on the left half of the sheet layout display area 4201. When the “multi-division” tab 4204 is selected, the user can select a desired sheet image from the sheet image list by using both of the two touch pens 412. When the user finishes selecting the sheet image by touching the “OK” button or the like, the CPU 103 closes the sheet layout selection screen 420 and ends the reception of the sheet layout selection.

  In this embodiment, sheet images are displayed in the sheet image lists 4205 and 4208. However, a sheet design image before being combined with each image may be displayed in the sheet image lists 4205 and 4208. In this case, the sheet image generation process (step S315) is not performed before the sheet layout selection process (step S316), and the sheet image may be generated at the timing when the preview images 4206 and 4209 are displayed.

  Returning to FIG. 17, the description of the image editing process will be continued. After selecting the sheet layout, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the post-service section 5 is free (step S317). If the subsequent customer service section 5 is not available (No in step S317), the CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 to display a screen for requesting the user to wait (not shown) (step S318). If the subsequent customer service section 5 is empty (Yes in step S317), the CPU 103 transmits the selected sheet image to the printer 650 and starts printing (step S319). Then, the CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 to display a screen (not shown) for guiding the user to the post-service section 5 (step S320). In addition, the CPU 103 may cause the speaker 413 to output a voice that guides the user to the customer service unit 5.

(Subsequent customer service)
Next, the subsequent customer service process (step S40) will be described. FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing the subsequent customer service process.

  The CPU 103 displays a start screen on the reception display 51. When the user who has moved from the editing booth touches the screen with a finger, image transmission processing is started (step S511). Further, the CPU 103 outputs sound necessary for operation to the speaker 53.

  When the image transmission process is started, the CPU 103 displays a screen for selecting an image to be transmitted to the user terminal device on the reception display 51. The screen to be selected includes six normal composite images generated in step S314, and a composite image of “float photography” when “float photography” is selected in “special photography”, or “oblique light” in “special photography”. When “Shooting” is selected, a composite image of “oblique shooting” is displayed. Of the displayed images, the user accepts a selection by touching the desired image.

  Next, the CPU 103 displays a screen for inputting a mail address on the reception display 51 in order to receive a notification mail in which a URL for obtaining an image is described. According to the guidance on the screen, the user inputs and decides the e-mail address.

  Next, the CPU 103 selects the six normal composite images, the composite image of “float photography” or the composite image of “oblique photography” according to the selection of “special photography”, and the mail address inputted by the user and the selection The image information is transmitted to a server (not shown) together with the image information. In response to this, the server transmits a mail in which a URL for acquiring an image is described to the input mail address.

  The user can obtain the selected single composite image by accessing the URL described in the received mail. Further, by performing predetermined member registration, it is possible to acquire all the images that have not been selected.

  In the waiting time when the printing process (step S319) is started and printing is completed, such a post-service process is executed, and the sticker sheet (photo sticker) on which the sheet image is printed is discharged from the photo sticker discharge port 52. (Step S512). When the “multi-split” sheet layout is selected in step S315, one photo sticker is ejected. However, when the “event” or “two-person” sheet layout is selected in step S315, The sticker paper is cut in half along the direction perpendicular to the printing direction, and two photo stickers having a size half that of the “multi-split” photo sticker are discharged. Up to here is a series of plays for a set of users.

  Here, FIGS. 26 and 27 show examples of completed photo stickers.

  FIG. 26 shows the case where the “birthday” set is selected in the background image selection process (step S114), and the photo sticker S1 is created when the “float shooting” is performed (Yes in step S2162). It is. An image F1 including a special background image and a decoration image corresponding to the “birthday” set is printed on the top of the photo sticker S1. The image F1 includes a balloon image B1. The balloon image B1 includes a date image including the date of birthday (“2013.12.24” in the example of FIG. 26) input in step S118 or S120. The balloon image B1 also includes a message image including a third party name other than the user (“To Lina” in the example of FIG. 26). Further, the balloon image B1 is transparent at the portion arranged on the subject image U1. Below the image F1 of the photo sticker S1, a plurality of normal composite images N1 including a background image of the “birthday” set are printed.

  FIG. 27 shows a case where the “Anniversary” set is selected in the background image selection process (step S114), and the photo sticker S2 is created when “float shooting” is performed (Yes in step S2162). It is. An image F2 including a special background image and a decoration image corresponding to the “anniversary” set is printed on the upper part of the photo sticker S2. The image F2 includes a balloon image B2. The balloon image B2 includes the name image including the user name (“Amin” and “Mikipu” in the example of FIG. 27) input in step S113 or modified in step S313, and the date of the anniversary date input in step S116 ( In the example of FIG. 27, a date image including “2013.12.24”) is included. In addition, the balloon image B2 is transparent at the portion arranged on the subject image U2 as in the balloon image B1. Below the image F2 of the photo sticker S2, a plurality of normal composite images N2 including background images of the “anniversary” set are printed.

  As described above, the photography game machine 1 according to the present embodiment selects a background image set corresponding to a theme such as an “event” set, a “birthday” set, or an “anniversary” set in accordance with a user operation. When this is done, a special composition image corresponding to the theme of the selected background image set is determined. For this reason, according to the photography game machine 1, it is possible to easily create a photo sticker having a sense of unity and excellent design. Such a photo sticker is suitable for leaving as a memory of a special day, and can sufficiently satisfy a user who uses the photography game machine 1 as a special day memorial.

  Since the photography game machine 1 is configured so that the user cannot edit the subject image and the special background image of “special photography”, the design of the photo sticker is not impaired by the editing process. For this reason, according to the photography game machine 1, it is possible to create a photo sticker that maintains high design.

  In the photo sticker created by the photographic game machine 1, the decoration image corresponding to the selected background image set is arranged on the subject image. In the balloon image, a portion arranged on the subject image is transparent. For this reason, in the photo sticker created by the photographic game machine 1, it appears that the decorative image including the balloon image is floating, and as a result, the design of the photo sticker as a whole can be improved.

  The photo sticker created by the photographic game machine 1 reflects the user name entered by the user, the name of the third party, the date of the anniversary, etc., so that the uniqueness of the photo sticker can be enhanced.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
