<2.1. Advance customer service>
First, the prior customer service process (step S10) will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the prior customer service process.

  The CPU 103 displays a demonstration screen representing a demonstration video of play on the reception display 31 (step S111). The CPU 103 continues displaying the demonstration screen until the user inserts coins for one play into the insertion slot 32 (No in step S112).

  When one coin is inserted into the coin insertion slot 32, information indicating that a coin has been inserted is output to the computer apparatus 101 via the control board 102 by the coin control unit 112 (see FIG. 3). When the CPU 103 receives information indicating the insertion of coins for one play (in the case of Yes in step S112), the CPU 103 starts play and performs the processes in and after step S113.

  The CPU 103 displays a shooting course selection screen (not shown) on the reception display 31 and receives a selection of a shooting course by the user (step S113). In this embodiment, an up shooting course for shooting the upper body of the user and an up whole body shooting course for shooting the upper body and the whole body of the user are prepared as shooting courses, and the user selects one of them. can do. In the following description, a photographic image obtained by photographing the upper body of the user is referred to as an up image, and a photographic image obtained by photographing the whole body of the user is referred to as a whole body image.

  In the up-shooting course, the user's upper body is shot six times. In the up whole body photographing course, the upper body of the user is photographed four times and the whole body of the user is photographed twice. Hereinafter, it is assumed that the up whole body photographing course is selected in step S113.

  Next, the CPU 103 accepts input of setting information (step S114). Specifically, the CPU 103 displays a name input screen (not shown) on the reception display 31 and receives a name input by the user. Thereafter, the CPU 103 displays a background image selection screen (not shown) for accepting selection of a background image to be combined with the photographic image on the accepting display 31, and accepts selection of the background image for each number of photographing.

  After accepting the input of setting information, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the photographing booth 2 is vacant (step S115). When the photography booth 2 is not empty (No in step S115), the CPU 103 displays a standby screen (not shown) for prompting the user to wait on the reception display 31 (step S116). When the photography booth 2 is vacant (Yes in step S115), the CPU 103 causes the reception display 31 to display a guidance screen (not shown) for guiding the movement to the photography booth 2 (step S117).

  The CPU 103 stores name data indicating a name input by the user, shooting course data indicating a shooting course, and background image data indicating a background image for each shooting count in the memory 105 (step S118).

<2.2. Shooting process>
Next, the photographing process (step S20) will be described. FIG. 6 is an operation flowchart of the photographing process.

  The CPU 103 displays a shooting start screen (not shown) for guiding the start of shooting on the front display 22 in the shooting booth 2 (step S211). 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 starts shooting and generates a photographic image (step S212). Hereinafter, the process of step S212 will be specifically described.

  First, the CPU 103 performs zoom setting of the camera 21 so as to obtain an angle of view corresponding to the shooting course selected in step S113. In this example, since the up whole body photographing course is selected, first, the zoom setting of the camera 21 is performed so that the angle of view corresponds to the up image. The CPU 103 starts photographing the user (subject) in the photographing booth 2 by the camera 21 and takes in the image data of the live video as photographic image data at a predetermined interval (for example, 30 frames / second).

  At the time of shooting, the CPU 103 causes the chroma key capture board 17 to perform a chroma key process for making the back panel portion of each photographic image captured from the camera 21 transparent behind the subject. The CPU 103 superimposes each chroma image processed photographic image on the background image selected in step S114 and displays it on the front display 22 in order to make the user image the finish of the photo sticker. For each shooting, the CPU 103 reads background image data corresponding to the number of shootings from the memory 105 and superimposes the photographic image and the background image on the front display 22.

  The CPU 103 controls the camera 21 to perform four shootings and generates four up images. Thereafter, the zoom setting of the camera 21 is changed so that the angle of view corresponds to the whole body image, and the user is photographed to generate two whole body images.

  The CPU 103 generates a photographic image by trimming the generated up image and whole body image so as to have a predetermined image size. Specifically, the up image is trimmed to a predetermined image size in which the aspect ratio of the image is 1.2: 1, for example. The whole body image is trimmed to a predetermined image size that is longer than the up image, for example, an aspect ratio of 16: 9. As a result, four photographic images based on the up image (hereinafter referred to as an up photographic image) and two photographic images based on the whole body image (hereinafter referred to as the whole photographic image) are generated. The CPU 103 stores each generated photographic image in the memory 105 in association with the number of times the photographic image has been taken.

  After the image capturing process, the CPU 103 displays a screen (not shown) for selecting the size of the finished eye and the brightness of the image on the editing display 411, accepts the selection by the user, and selects the selected eye. Information indicating the size and brightness of the image is stored in the memory 105 (step S213).

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 performs image processing on each photographic image generated in step S212 based on information indicating the size of the eyes and the brightness of the image stored in the memory 105, and performs post-image processing. A plurality of processed images obtained by performing a plurality of processing processes on each photographic image are generated (step S214).

  The processing includes first image processing for filtering a photographic image, or second image processing for generating an image obtained by duplicating an image of a subject portion included in the photographic image. Filter processing is a method of changing a photographic image itself to a color different from that of the original photographic image, or a method of transparently synthesizing an image having a filter effect on the photographic image so as to have a color different from that of the original photographic image. Etc. Hereinafter, an example of generating a processed image will be described.

  For each photographic image, the CPU 103 generates a photographic image (hereinafter referred to as a photographic image for processing) by superimposing a predetermined background image for the processed image on the photographic image, and the processing information for the first image processing and the second image processing The processing photographic image is processed using the processing information for processing. The predetermined background image for the processed image is different from the background image for each photographic image selected in step S114. For example, in the case of filter processing that changes the color of the entire photographic image to sepia, the background image including the sepia color and pattern is combined with the photographic image for the processing photographic image to be filtered. That is, a background image that is predetermined according to the mode of processing is combined with the photographic image. In this example, the processing photographic image is an example in which a predetermined background image for the processing image is combined with the photographic image, but may be a photographic image in which the background image is not combined.

  The processing information for the first image processing includes various corrections such as saturation correction, contrast correction, brightness (brightness) correction, color balance adjustment (hue correction), tone curve adjustment (tone correction), and the like. A correction value to be applied to the photographic image is included. Further, the processing information for the second image processing includes, for example, information such as an image enlargement ratio in addition to the correction values for performing the various corrections on the processing photographic image.

  In the present embodiment, in the HDD 104, five types of processing information for first image processing, one type of processing information for second image processing, and background image data corresponding to each of the six types of processing processing are stored. Six types of processing are performed on one stored photographic image. Hereinafter, the processing types for identifying the six types of processing are denoted by A to F.

  For each processing photo image, the CPU 103 performs processing based on the processing information corresponding to the processing types A to F to generate six processed images. Then, the CPU 103 stores the generated processed image in the memory 105 in association with the photographic image that is the basis of the processed image and the processing type.

  FIG. 7 is a schematic view illustrating a processed image that has been subjected to the processing types A to F based on one processing photographic image. The processed images 200A to 200F illustrated in FIG. 7 indicate the processed images generated by the processing processes of the processing types A to F.

  The processed images 200A to 200E illustrate the processed images generated by the first image processing based on the processing information corresponding to each of the processing types A to E. The processed images 200 </ b> A to 200 </ b> E are generated so that the overall color of the processing photographic image is different from each other, such as monochrome and sepia.

  The processed image 200F illustrates the processed image generated by the second image processing based on the processing information corresponding to the processing type F. The processed image 200F is an image obtained by duplicating a subject image in which the subject portion in the processing photographic image is represented by two different colors.

  Here, a method of generating the processed image 200F will be described. First, the CPU 103 converts the processing photo image to gray scale, and generates a processing photo image 300 illustrated in FIG. 8A, for example. Then, the CPU 103 performs gradation correction on the processing photo image 300 based on the processing information corresponding to the processing type F, and adjusts the white level and the black level.

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 generates a blue image 301 shown in FIG. 8B by replacing the black image portion with blue (256 gradations) in the processing photo image 300 after gradation correction. Further, the CPU 103 generates a red image 302 shown in FIG. 8C by replacing the black image portion with red (256 gradations) in the processing photo image 300 after gradation correction.

  Next, the CPU 103 enlarges the red image 302 based on the enlargement ratio indicated by the processing information, and generates a red image 302 larger than the blue image 301. Then, with the blue image 301 as the background, the blue image 301 and the red image 302 are multiplied and synthesized so that the center of the blue image 301 and the center of the red image 302 overlap. As a result, the images of the subject portion expressed in blue and red are superimposed, and a processed image 303 shown in FIG. 8D is generated.

  In the above example, the black image portion in the processing photographic image 300 after gradation correction is replaced with blue and red, but the replacement color is not limited to this. In short, it is only necessary to replace the black image portion with two different colors to generate an image of the subject portion of two colors.

  After step S214, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the editing booth 4 is free (step S215). If the editing booth 4 is not empty (No in step S215), the CPU 103 displays a standby screen (not shown) that prompts the user to wait on the front display 22 (step S216). If the editing booth 4 is vacant (Yes in step S215), the CPU 103 causes the front display 22 to display a guidance screen (not shown) for guiding the movement to the editing booth 4 (step S217).

<2.3. Graffiti / print processing>
Next, the graffiti process (step S30) will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the graffiti / print process.

  The CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 (see FIG. 2) to display a standby screen (not shown) that waits for the user to move from the shooting booth 2 to the editing booth 4 (step S311).

  Next, the CPU 103 displays an editing screen (not shown) on the editing display 411 and starts editing processing (step S312). The editing process is a process of accepting, from a user, input of various edited images such as a stamp image and a frame image to be combined with a photographic image.

  On the editing screen, thumbnail images corresponding to each of the six photographic images (including the up-photo image and the whole-body photographic image) generated in step S212 are displayed, and the user can select a thumbnail of the photographic image to be edited. Select an image. The CPU 103 reflects the image of the eye selected in step S213 and the brightness of the image on the photographic image corresponding to the selected thumbnail image, and synthesizes the background image selected in step S114 and displays it on the editing screen. The editing input by the user is accepted. The CPU 103 generates an edited image for each photo image based on the content of the edit input.

  After the editing process is completed, the CPU 103 combines the background image selected in step S114 and the edited image generated in the editing process (step S312) for each photograph image (including the up-photo image and the whole body image). The synthesized image is generated (step S313). Hereinafter, a combined image obtained by combining the up-photo image and the edited image is referred to as an up-combined image, and a combined image obtained by combining the whole-body photo image and the edited image is referred to as a whole-body combined image.

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 displays a processed image selection screen on the editing display 411 and accepts selection of the processed image (step S314).

  FIG. 10A is a schematic view illustrating a processed image selection screen in the present embodiment. In an area 421 on the processed image selection screen 420, images 4211 to 4216 associated with each of the six photographic images generated in step S212 are displayed. Images 4211 to 4216 are images in which the background image selected in step S114 is combined with the six photographic images generated in step S212 and resized to a predetermined image size. In this figure, the illustration of the background image is omitted for convenience.

  Also, on the processed image selection screen 420, processed sample images 423A to 423F associated with information indicating the processing types A to F are displayed. The processed sample images 423A to 423F are images obtained by performing the respective processing processes corresponding to the processing types A to F on the model image obtained by shooting the model.

  The user selects one image representing a photographic image to be processed from the images 4211 to 4216 and processes the processed sample image subjected to desired processing from the processed sample images 423A to 423F. Select. The CPU 103 reads and reads out the processed image in which the photographic image corresponding to the selected image and the processing type corresponding to the selected processed sample image are associated with each other from the processed images stored in the memory 105. The processed image is displayed in the area 422.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10B, when an image 4211 and a processed sample image 423D are selected, the CPU 103 stores a processed image 4221 corresponding to the processing type D among the processed images of the photographic image corresponding to the image 4211 in the memory 105. Is read out and displayed in the area 422.

  The user touches the OK button 424 when determining the processed image displayed in the processed image display area 422 as a transmission image. When changing the processing applied to the displayed processed image, the user reselects the processed sample image on which the desired processing is performed. Further, when changing a photographic image included in the displayed processed image, an image including a desired photographic image is selected again from the images 4211 to 4216. The CPU 103 reads the processed image corresponding to the selected image and the processed sample image from the memory 105 and displays it in the area 422 until the OK button 424 is touched.

  When the OK button 424 is touched, the CPU 103 determines the processed image displayed in the processed image display area 422 as a transmission image, and stores information indicating the determined processed image in the memory 105.

  Returning to FIG. 9, the CPU 103 displays a sheet layout selection screen (not shown) on the editing display 411, and accepts selection of the sheet layout by the user (step S315).

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 generates a sheet image for printing on the sticker sheet based on the sheet layout selected by the user (step S316). Specifically, the CPU 103 arranges the up composite image generated in step S313 in the area for the up composite image in the selected sheet layout, and the whole body generated in step S313 in the area for the whole body composite image. A composite image is arranged and combined to generate a sheet image.

  Thereafter, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the subsequent customer service unit 5 is vacant (step S317). When the subsequent customer service section 5 is not available (No in step S317), the CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 to display a standby screen (not shown) that prompts the user to wait (step S318).

  When the subsequent customer service section 5 is vacant (Yes in step S317), the CPU 103 transmits the sheet image generated in step S316 to the printer 650 and starts printing (step S319). Further, the CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 to display a guidance screen (not shown) for guiding the user to the customer service unit 5 (step S320).

<2.4. Subsequent customer service>
Next, the subsequent customer service process (step S40) will be described. FIG. 11 is an operation flowchart of the post-service processing.

  The CPU 103 displays a start screen on the reception display 51 (see FIG. 2). When the user who has moved from the editing booth 4 touches the start screen, the CPU 103 starts image transmission processing (step S411).

  When the image transmission process is started, the CPU 103 displays an image selection screen 510 shown in FIG. The image selection screen 510 displays six composite images 511 (including an up composite image and a whole body composite image) generated in step S313, a processed image 512 determined in step S314, and an “OK” button 513. The

  Although illustration is omitted, the image selection screen 510 further includes a message (not shown) notifying that the processed image 512 is to be distributed free of charge and the six composite images 511 displayed on the image selection screen 510. A message (not shown) prompting to select one is displayed. The user selects one composite image from the 6 composite images 511 and touches an “OK” button 513. As a result, the CPU 103 accepts the selected composite image 511 as a transmission image in addition to the processed image 512.

  Next, the CPU 103 sends a notification e-mail describing the URL for acquiring the image selected by the user to the user, and therefore displays an input screen prompting the user to input an e-mail address on the reception display 51 (FIG. 2). Display). The user inputs and decides an e-mail address according to the guidance on the input screen.

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 transmits the mail address input by the user and information on each image to a server (not shown). In response to this, the server transmits a notification mail in which a URL for acquiring an image is described to the input mail address. The user can obtain the processed image 512 and one selected composite image 511 by accessing the URL described in the received notification mail. Note that the user can acquire all of the composite images that were not selected by performing predetermined member registration.

  The image transmission process in step S411 is executed during the waiting time until the sheet image printing process in step S319 ends. When the printing process of step S319 ends, the CPU 103 discharges the sticker sheet (photo sticker) on which the sheet image is printed from the photo sticker discharge port 52 (see FIG. 2) (step S412). Up to here is a series of plays for a set of users.

  In the first embodiment described above, since a processed image is generated with each photographic image generated in the shooting process as a processing target without performing dedicated shooting for the processed image, compared to a case where dedicated shooting for the processed image is performed separately, The shooting time can be shortened and the user's fatigue for shooting can be reduced. As a result, the expression of the subject included in the processed image does not become a tired expression, and a processed image that satisfies the user can be provided.

  In the first embodiment, a plurality of processing processes are performed on the basis of each photographic image generated in the photographing process, and a plurality of processed images are generated for each photographic image. A processed image corresponding to the image selected on the image selection screen 420 and the processed sample image can be easily displayed.

  In the first embodiment, the processed image selection screen 420 displays a plurality of photographic images taken in the shooting process, and processed sample images that have been subjected to each of the processing types A to F. The user can select a desired combination of the photographic image and the processing type while referring to all the photographic images and the processing mode of each processing type. . In addition, since the user can select a photographic image suitable for processing from a plurality of photographic images, in the case of an up whole body photography course, the user can select a desired photographic image from either the up photographic image or the whole body photographic image. A corresponding processed image can be acquired. In the first embodiment, since the user performs an operation of selecting a photographic image and a processing type displayed on the processed image selection screen 420 after the editing process, the user himself has to cut out a photographic image. The operation time of the editing process is not shortened.

[Second Embodiment]
In the first embodiment, an example has been described in which processing of processing types A to F is performed on each of the six photographic images in step S214, and six processed images are generated for each photographic image. Depending on the processing type, processing processing of one processing type may be performed on six photographic images to generate six processing images subjected to the same processing processing.

  In this case, for example, when a coin for one play is inserted in the pre-service process, the CPU 103 may determine one processing type at random from the processing types A to F, or one according to a predetermined algorithm. The processing type may be determined.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, in step S214, the six photographic images taken in one play are subjected to the processing of one processing type determined in the play, and six processed images are obtained. Generated and stored in the memory 105. In this embodiment, in step S314 (see FIG. 9), the CPU 103 displays the processed image selection screen 420a shown in FIG. 13 and accepts selection of the processed image by the user. In this example, in the processed image selection screen 420a, the processed images 431 to 436 obtained by applying the processing processing of processing type A to the six photographic images generated in step S212 as processing processing according to play are resized. Is displayed.

  By selecting one processed image desired by the user from the processed images 431 to 436 on the processed image selection screen 420a, the CPU 103 receives and selects a photographic image included in the selected processed image as a processing target. The processing applied to the processed image is accepted as the processing to be performed on the photographic image to be processed. The user selects one processed image and touches an OK button 424, thereby determining the processed image as a transmission image.

  In the second embodiment, since the processing process is determined for each play, the processed image displayed on the processed image selection screen cannot be changed to a processed image subjected to another processing process. However, since the user only performs an operation of selecting a processed image, the play time can be shortened compared to the first embodiment.

[Third embodiment]
In the first embodiment, on the processed image selection screen 420, selection of an image to be processed and a processed sample image is accepted, a photographic image corresponding to the selected image, and a processing type corresponding to the selected processed sample image, An example has been described in which a processed image corresponding to the image is read from the memory 105 and displayed. In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which processed images obtained by performing a plurality of different processing processes on each of six photographic images are displayed on a processed image selection screen.

  FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram showing a display example of the processed image selection screen 420b in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 14, on the processed image selection screen 420b, the processed images 441 to 446 corresponding to the six photographic images generated by each shooting of 1 to 6 times are resized and displayed in step S214. In addition, a processing switching button 425 is displayed. When the user selects one desired processed image on the processed image selection screen 420b, the CPU 103 receives a photographic image included in the selected processed image as a processing target, and is applied to the selected processed image. The processing is accepted as a processing to be performed on the photographic image to be processed.

  Each of the processed images 441 to 446 shown in FIG. 14 has been processed by processing types F, A, B, C, D, and E. In response to the touch operation of the processing switching button 425, the CPU 103 switches the displayed processed image for each photographic image to a processed image that has undergone a processing process different from the processing process applied to the processed image. To do.

  For example, in the example of FIG. 14, when the process switching button 425 is touched once, the process types E, F, A, B, C, and so on are illustrated in FIG. 15 instead of the process images 441 to 446. The processed images 451 to 456 that have been subjected to each processing of D are resized and displayed.

  In other words, the processed image 441 (see FIG. 14) that has been processed by the processing type F is switched to the processed image 451 that has been processed by the processing type E. The processed image 442 (see FIG. 14) that has been processed by the processing type A is switched to the processed image 452 that has been processed by the processing type F. The processed image 443 (see FIG. 14) subjected to the processing type B processing is switched to the processed image 453 subjected to the processing type A processing. Similarly, the processed images 444 to 446 are processed images 454 that have been processed by the processing type B, processed images 455 that have been processed by the processing type C, and processed images that have been processed by the processing type D. 456, respectively. That is, in this example, for each photographic image, the CPU 103 displays the processed image of the photographic image so that the processed type of the processed image to be displayed is in the order of the processed type F → E → D → C → B → A. Switch to display.

  In this example, the processed image is switched so that the processed type of the displayed processed image is in the order of processed type F → E → D → C → B → A. The display of the processed image may be switched so as to be in the order of type A → B → C → D → E → F. In short, the processed images for each photographic image may be switched and displayed in the order of processing types that are arbitrarily determined.

  In the third embodiment, a list of processed images obtained by performing six different types of processing on each of the six photographic images is displayed, so the user can compare the processing results of the six types of processing. can do. In addition, since the user only performs an operation of selecting a desired processed image from the displayed processed image, the editing processing time can be shortened as compared with the case where the processed image is generated according to the user operation. . Further, each time the user touches the processing switching button 425, the processing image of each photographic image can be switched, so that the processing image obtained by performing the desired processing processing on the desired photographic image is selected as the transmission image. can do.

  As mentioned above, although each embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to said each embodiment, A various change is possible unless it deviates from the meaning. Hereinafter, modifications of the above embodiments will be described.

  (1) In the first to third embodiments described above, an example is described in which processed images for a plurality of photographic images generated in the photographing process (step S212) are generated in advance before the editing process (step S312). However, the timing for generating the processed image is not limited to this. For example, after the editing process (step S312) ends, a plurality of processing processes are performed on each of the plurality of photographic images generated in the photographing process (step S212), and a plurality of processed images are generated for each photographic image. May be.

  Further, one processed image may be generated and displayed based on the image selected on the processed image selection screen 420 in the first embodiment and the processed sample image. In the second embodiment and the third embodiment described above, since the processed image of each photographic image is generated in advance before the editing process, the process of generating the processed image selected on the processed image selection screen is not performed. After the processed image is selected, the selected processed image may be generated again. That is, after the editing process (step S312), a processed image for at least one photographic image may be generated.

  (2) In the above-described first to third embodiments, the example in which the processed image selection screen is displayed after the editing process (step S312) and the selection of the processed image is received has been described. A processed image selection screen may be displayed before S312) to accept selection of a processed image.

  (3) In the first and second embodiments described above, an example in which six types of processing are performed on six photographic images has been described. However, the number of types of processing is less than or equal to the number of photographic images. It may be more than the number of photographic images.

  (4) In the third embodiment described above, an example in which one processed image is displayed for each photographic image so that all the processed processes performed on the displayed processed image are different has been described. Good. For example, among 6 photographic images, 4 up-photo images are processed images that have been processed by the processing type A, and 2 whole-body photographic images are processed. A processed image that has been processed is displayed. Then, in accordance with the touch operation of the switching button 425, each of the processed image corresponding to the four up-photo images and the processed image corresponding to the two whole-body photo images is processed type A → B → C → D → You may switch and display so that it may become the order of the processing kind defined arbitrarily, such as the order of E → F.

  Further, the type of processing may not be the same as the number of photographic images. For example, in the photography game machine 1, it is assumed that four types of processing types A to D are set for six photographic images. In this case, in the processed image selection screen 420b, as processed images corresponding to the four photographic images, processed images subjected to the processing types A to D and processed images corresponding to the two photographic images. The processed images that have been subjected to the processing types A and B may be displayed. Further, when seven types of processing types A to G are set for six photographic images, the processing types A to G are processed images for the six photographic images on the processed image selection screen 420b. A processed image subjected to the processing of F is displayed. Then, according to the touch operation of the processing switch button 425, the processed images corresponding to the respective photographic images may be switched and displayed in the order of processing types A → B → C → D → E → F → G. Good. In short, among the processed images for each displayed photographic image, the processed image corresponding to each photographic image so that the processed processing applied to at least some processed images is different from the processed processing applied to other processed images. Should be displayed. That is, it is only necessary to select and display one processed image for one photographic image from a plurality of processed images for each photographic image so that processed images subjected to at least two types of processing are displayed.

  (5) In the first embodiment described above, an example in which the selection of the image of the eye and the brightness of the image is received after the imaging process (step S212) has been described. However, the image of the eye and the brightness of the image before the imaging process are described. May be accepted. In this case, a processed image generation process may be performed in parallel with the photographing process, and a processed image may be generated for each photographic image each time a photographic image is generated.

  (6) In 1st Embodiment mentioned above, the example which displays the process sample image in which each process process of process classification A-F was performed in the process image selection screen 420 as a process selection button for selecting a process process. However, for example, a processing selection button may be displayed in which words, images, or the like reflecting the processing mode of each processing process are displayed. In short, on the processed image selection screen 420, a processing selection button indicating each processing process may be displayed so that each of the plurality of processing processes can be distinguished.

  (7) In the processed image selection screen 420a according to the second embodiment described above, a processing switching button is provided, and the processed image of each photographic image is processed according to the touch operation of the processing switching button. It is also possible to switch to a processed image that has been subjected to a different processing process. In this case, as in the second embodiment, the CPU 103 displays, by default, six processed images obtained by performing the processing determined for each play on the six photographic images. When the switching button is touched, the CPU 103 selects one processing process different from the processing process applied to each displayed processed image from the processing types A to F. The CPU 103 displays, on the processed image selection screen 420a, six processed images obtained by performing the selected processing on each photographic image instead of the six processed images being displayed. By configuring in this way, the degree of freedom of selection of the processed image by the user can be improved as compared with the second embodiment. Further, a processed image of a photographic image suitable for a desired processing process can be selected while comparing the processed images that have been subjected to the same processing process.

  (8) The photography game machine 1 has the following configuration. That is, the photographic game machine 1 includes a process of shooting a subject and generating a plurality of photographic images as a single play, and a process of receiving input of edited images for the plurality of photographic images. First generation means for generating a plurality of first combined images by combining each of the photographic images, a background image set for the photographic image, and the edit image input to the photographic image. Then, a predetermined composite processing is performed on a composite image obtained by combining at least one photographic image of the plurality of photographic images and a background image for a processed image different from the background image to generate a second composite image A second generation unit; a printing unit that prints the plurality of first composite images; and a transmission unit that transmits the second composite image. The processed image background image is stored in advance in the photographic game machine as a background image corresponding to a predetermined processing process.
