  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). At this time, the CPU 103 may cause the speaker 33 to output BGM or the like corresponding to the demonstration video.

  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. 5). The CPU 103 increments the coin count by one for each piece of information from the coin control unit 112. When the coin count reaches one play, the CPU 103 determines that a coin for one play has been accepted (Yes in step S112), starts play, and performs the processes in and after step S113.

  In step S113, the CPU 103 displays a name input screen (not shown) on the reception display 31, and receives a name input by the user. At this time, the CPU 103 may cause the speaker 33 to output a voice prompting the user to input a name. The CPU 103 causes the reception display 31 to display a timer that counts down the remaining time during which a name can be input.

  Next, 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 S114). 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. At this time, the CPU 103 may cause the speaker 33 to output a sound prompting the user to select a shooting course. The CPU 103 causes the reception display 31 to display a timer that counts down the remaining time during which a shooting course can be selected. 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 this embodiment, when the up-shooting course is selected, the user's upper body is photographed six times, and when the up whole-body shooting course is selected, the user's upper body is photographed four times and the user's whole body is photographed. Shoot twice.

{Background image selection processing}
After the shooting course selection process, the CPU 103 performs a background image selection process (step S115). FIG. 8 is a flowchart of background image selection processing. In the present embodiment, description will be made assuming that the up whole body photographing course is selected in the photographing course selection process.

(Background selection screen display)
First, the CPU 103 displays a background selection screen 60 as shown in FIG. 9 on the reception display 31 (step S1151). Further, the CPU 103 starts counting down the remaining time for background selection.

  The background selection screen 60 is a screen for allowing the user to select an individual background image or a background image set for each captured up image and whole body image.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the background selection screen 60 includes a selection background image area 61, a theme selection tab 62, and a selected background image area 63. The background selection screen 60 further includes a timer 65 that displays the remaining background selection time.

  The selection background image area 61 of the background selection screen 60 includes an individual background image area 611 and a background image set area 612 arranged below the individual background image area 611. The background image set area 612 is arranged below the individual background image area 611.

  In the individual background image area 611, a plurality of individual background images 641 to be combined with each photographic image generated in step S215 described later is displayed. The CPU 103 determines the shape of the individual background image 641 based on the shooting course selected in step S114 and the number of shooting times. Each individual background image 641 in the individual background image region 611 has a shape corresponding to an image with the smallest number of times of photographing among the up image and the whole body image in which the individual background image 641 is not selected by the user.

  For example, at the initial display of the background selection screen 60, since no individual background image is selected, the smallest number of times of photographing corresponding to images for which the individual background image 641 is not selected is “1”. It becomes. When the up whole body photographing course is selected in step S114, the up image is photographed for the first time, so that each individual background image 641 in the individual background image region 611 has a shape corresponding to the up image. In addition, when the individual background image is selected for the up image captured at the first to fourth times and the individual background image is not selected for the whole body image captured at the fifth to sixth times, the individual background image 641 is not selected. The smallest number of times of photographing corresponding to the image is “5”. In the up whole body photographing course, since the whole body image is photographed for the fifth time, each individual background image 641 in the individual background image region 611 has a shape corresponding to the whole body image. The “shape according to the up image” and the “shape according to the whole body image” mean shapes that allow the user to understand that the background image is for the up image and the whole body image, respectively. For example, the shape has the same aspect ratio as the up-photo image and the whole-body photo image generated in step S215.

  In the background image set area 612, a plurality of background image sets 642 are displayed. Each background image set 642 includes a plurality of background images 6421 to be combined with each photographic image generated in step S215. The same background image set 642 does not exist in the plurality of background image sets 642 displayed in the background image set area 612, but the same background image 6421 may be included in one background image set 642. is there.

  Each individual background image 641 and each background image set 642 are classified according to a plurality of predetermined themes. In the individual background image area 611 and the background image set area 612, an individual background image 641 and a background image set 642 belonging to a common theme are displayed. The display of the individual background image area 611 and the background image set area 612 can be switched for each theme by the user selecting the theme selection tabs 62 arranged on the left and right of these. In the present embodiment, the themes named “Normal”, “Grade”, and “Design” are predetermined, and the theme selection tab 62 includes a “Normal” tab 62A, a “Grade” tab 62B, and a “Design tab”. 62C. For example, when a user standing on the left side of the background selection screen 60 touches one of the “normal” tab 62A, “gradation” tab 62B, or “design” tab 62C on the left side with a touch pen (not shown) or a finger, The display of the individual background image area 611 and the background image set area 612 is switched according to the theme of the touched tab. Similarly, when the user standing on the right side of the background selection screen 60 touches one of the “normal” tab 62A, “gradation” tab 62B, or “design” tab 62C on the right side, The display of the individual background image area 611 and the background image set area 612 is switched according to the theme. That is, the right and left theme selection tabs 62 both accept theme selection, and the individual background image area 611 and the background image can be selected regardless of whether the user touches the right or left theme selection tab 62. The display of the set area 612 is switched.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the “normal” tab 62A is selected, the individual background image area 611 and the background image set area 612 each include a plurality of individual background images 641A and a plurality of individual background images 641A classified as “normal”. A background image set 642A is displayed. The background image 641A classified as “normal” and each background image 6421A of each background image set 642A are simple monochrome images. In the present embodiment, a plurality of background images 6421A included in each background image set 642A are all selected from the individual background images 641A. However, a part of the plurality of background images 6421A in the background image set 642A can be selected from the individual background images 641A, and the rest can be set as background images different from the individual background images 641A, or all of the background images 6421A can be individually selected. It can also be a background image different from the background image 641A. In the present embodiment, when the background selection screen 60 is initially displayed, the “normal” tab 62A is selected.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when the “gradation” tab 62B is selected, a plurality of individual background images 641B and a plurality of individual background images 641B classified as “gradation” are displayed in the individual background image area 611 and the background image set area 612, respectively. A background image set 642B is displayed. The background image 641B classified as “gradation” and part of the background image 6421B of each background image set 642B are gradation-treated images. In the example of FIG. 10, gradation is applied to three background images 6421B among the six background images 6421B included in each background image set 642B. In the present embodiment, a part of the plurality of background images 6421B of each background image set 642B is selected from the individual background images 641B, and the rest are selected from the individual background images 641A (FIG. 9) classified as “normal”. ing. However, all of the background images 6421B of the background image set 642B may be selected from the individual background images 641B, or all may be background images different from the individual background images 641A and 641B.

  As illustrated in FIG. 11, when the “design” tab 62C is selected, the individual background image area 611 and the background image set area 612 each include a plurality of individual background images 641C and a plurality of individual background images 641C classified as “design”. A background image set 642C is displayed. A part of the background image 641C classified as “design” and the background image 6421C of each background image set 642C is an image including characters and figures. In the example of FIG. 11, among the six background images 6421C included in each background image set 642C, three background images 6421C are images including characters and figures. In the present embodiment, some of the plurality of background images 6421C of each background image set 642C are selected from the individual background images 641C, and the rest are selected from the individual background images 641A (FIG. 9) classified as “normal”. ing. However, all of the background images 6421C of the background image set 642C may be selected from the individual background images 641C, or all may be background images different from the individual background images 641A and 641C.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the selected background image region 63 is arranged below the selection background image region 61. Therefore, the background image set area 612 is arranged between the individual background image area 611 and the selected background image area 63.

  The selected background image area 63 includes a selected background image display unit 631 for displaying the same image (selected background image) as the individual background image 641 selected by the user. The number of selected background image display portions 631 is equal to the number of photographic images taken in one play. In the present embodiment, six selected background image display portions 631 are included in the selected background image region 63 in order to capture six photographic images. The six selected background image display portions 631 are arranged in a line in the horizontal direction on the background selection screen 60 and are associated with the number of times of photographing. In the present embodiment, the six selected background image display portions 631 are sequentially associated with the number of photographing times “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6” from the left. Yes.

  A selection frame 632 is displayed on the selected background image display unit 631 corresponding to the number of times of the next shooting among the plurality of selected background image display units 631. Although the number of times of the next shooting will be described in detail later, for example, when the background selection screen 60 is initially displayed, the number of times of the next shooting is “1”, and the selected background image at the left end corresponding to the number of shooting “1”. A selection frame 632 is displayed on the display unit 631.

  The CPU 103 determines the shape of each selected background image display unit 631 according to the shooting course selected in step S114. When the up whole body photographing course is selected as in the present embodiment, the four selected background image display units 631 from the left form a shape corresponding to the up image, and the remaining two selected background image display units 631 Shape according to the whole body image.

(Select background image)
The user performs an operation on the background selection screen 60 and selects a desired individual background image or background image set.

(In the case of individual background images)
Hereinafter, a case where the user selects an individual background image will be described. Here, a case where the user selects the individual background image 641A classified as “normal” will be described, but this is a case where the individual background images 641B and 641C classified as “gradation” or “design” are selected. However, the user's operation and the processing by the CPU 103 are the same.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the user selects the “normal” tab 62A, and each of the individual background image area 611 and the background image set area 612 of the background selection screen 60 has a plurality of individual items classified as “normal”. A background image 641A and a plurality of background image sets 642A are displayed.

  The user selects a desired individual background image 641A from among the displayed individual background images 641A by touching with a touch pen or a finger. CPU103 receives selection operation of individual background image 641A by a user (Step S1152).

  The CPU 103 determines the type of background image selected by the user (step S1153). Here, since the user has selected the individual background image 641A on the background selection screen 60, the type of the background image is “individual background image”.

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 updates the number of times of the next shooting (step S1154). The next number of times of photographing is the smallest number of times of photographing among the number of times of photographing corresponding to an image for which the selection operation of the individual background image 641A by the user is not accepted, and its initial value is “1”. For example, the selection of the individual background image 641A is accepted for the up image taken for the first time, and the individual background image 641A is selected for the up image taken for the second to fourth times and the whole body image taken for the fifth to sixth times. If it has not been accepted, the next shooting count is updated to “2”. When selection of the individual background image 641A is accepted for all up images and whole body images, the CPU 103 does not need to update the number of next photographing, but a predetermined value (a value other than 1 to 6). The number of times of the next shooting may be updated.

  The CPU 103 updates the selected number by incrementing it by one (step S1155). The selected number is a value indicating the number of individual background images 641A that have been selected by the user, and the initial value is set to “0”. For example, when selection of one individual background image 641A is accepted, the selected number is updated to “1”.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the CPU 103 displays the same image as the individual background image 641A selected by the user as one of the selected background image display units 631 as the selected background image 633 (step S1152). Specifically, the selected background image 633 is displayed on the selected background image display unit 631 corresponding to the number of times that the individual background image 641A is selected. The CPU 103 displays a “cancel” button 634 below the selected background image 633. The CPU 103 displays a selection frame 632 on the selected background image display unit 631 corresponding to the number of times of the next shooting updated in step S1154.

  FIG. 12 is an example of the background selection screen 60 after the user has selected the individual background image 641A for the first photograph image taken. In this case, the selected background image 633 is displayed on the selected background image display unit 631 at the left end corresponding to the number of times of photographing “1”. A “cancel” button 634 is displayed below the selected background image 633. In step S1154, the number of times of the next photographing is updated to “2”, so that a selection frame 632 is displayed on the selected background image display portion 631 that is second from the left corresponding to this.

  FIG. 13 shows an example of the background selection screen 60 in a case where the user selects the individual background image 641A for the images photographed 1-2 and 4-5. In this case, the selected background image 633 is displayed on each of the four selected background image display portions 631 corresponding to the number of photographing times “1”, “2”, “4”, “5”. A “Cancel” button 634 is displayed below each selected image 633. Further, since the number of times of the next photographing is updated to “3” in step S1154, a selection frame 632 is displayed on the third selected background image display unit 631 corresponding to this from the left.

  As illustrated in FIGS. 12 and 13, the CPU 103 may display a selection frame 613 around the individual background image 641 </ b> A selected by the user in the individual background image area 611. The selection frame 613 may be displayed only on the individual background image 641A selected immediately before, or may be displayed on all selected individual background images 641A. Note that the photography amusement machine 1 may be configured such that the user can select the individual background image 641A on which the selection frame 613 is displayed again, or uses the individual background image 641A on which the selection frame 613 is displayed. It may be configured not to let the user select again.

  The “cancel” button 634 is a button for canceling the individual background image selected by the user. When the user touches the “cancel” button 634, the CPU 103 cancels the selection of the individual background image 641A received in step S1152, and hides the selected background image 633 directly above the touched “cancel” button 634. To do. In addition, the CPU 103 updates the number of times of the next shooting by the same method as that in step S1154, and decrements the selected number by one. Further, the CPU 103 moves the selection frame 632 to the selected background image display unit 631 corresponding to the updated number of times of the next shooting.

{User operation machine for seal vending machine}
Here, the user operating device for sticker vending machine (receiving device 30) on which an image for background selection is displayed will be described. 22 to 27 are six views of the user operating device for the seal vending machine. FIG. 28 is an enlarged view of the touch panel operation unit of the user operating device for the seal vending machine. FIG. 29 is a reference diagram showing names of parts in the display state of the touch panel operation part.

  At the photo booth, the user operating device for the seal vending machine takes a picture of the subject including the user himself, and synthesizes a frame, a drawing of a character pattern called graffiti, a background, etc. on the photographed image. It is used in a seal vending machine that prints out a composite image as a photo sticker. The user operating device for sticker vending machines is for the user to input various settings for creating photo stickers, and performs operations such as selecting the background to be combined with the images taken at the photo booth. Is something that can be done. The user operating device for the seal vending machine is attached to, for example, a side surface of the photographing device for the vending machine (imaging unit 20). The image displayed on the touch panel operation section in the upper center of the front view is for performing operations that enable the input function to be performed, and performs operations for selecting individual backgrounds or background sets that include multiple backgrounds. It is.

  Returning to FIG. 8, the description of the background image selection process will be continued. After step S1156, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the selected number updated in step S1155 has reached a predetermined number (six in this embodiment) (step S1157).

  If the selected number is not “6” (No in step S1157), CPU 103 determines whether the remaining background selection time is not 0 (step S1158).

  If the remaining time of the background selection is 0 (Yes in step S1158), the CPU 103 sets six predetermined background images as the selected individual background images, then closes the background selection screen 60, and the background End image processing.

  If the remaining time of the background selection is not 0 (No in step S1158), the CPU 103 changes the shape of the individual background image 641A displayed in the individual background image area 611 according to the number of times of the next shooting updated in step S1154. Change (step S1160).

  For example, when the number of times of the next shooting is any one of “1” to “4” and the shape of the currently displayed individual background image 641A is a shape corresponding to the whole body image, the CPU 103 displays the result shown in FIG. As shown, the shape of the individual background image 641A is changed to a shape corresponding to the up image. When the number of times of the next shooting is “5” or “6”, and the shape of the currently displayed individual background image 641A is a shape corresponding to the up image, the CPU 103, as shown in FIG. The shape of the background image 641A is changed to a shape corresponding to the whole body image. When the shape of the image corresponding to the number of times of the next photographing matches the shape of the currently displayed individual background image 641A, the CPU 103 does not change the shape of the individual background image 641A.

  When the selected number is “6” (Yes in step S1157), the CPU 103 displays an “OK” button 66 on the background selection screen 60 (step S1161) as shown in FIG. 63 selection frame 632 is hidden.

  When the user presses the “OK” button 66 with a touch pen or a finger (Yes in step S1162), the CPU 103 closes the background selection screen 60 and ends the background image selection process. When the user does not press the “OK” button 66 (No in step S1162), the user selects an individual background image again or selects a background image set until the remaining time for background selection becomes zero. (Step S1152).

  The user need not select all six individual background images from the group of individual background images classified into one theme, and can select six individual background images with different themes. For example, after selecting 1 to 5 individual background images 641A classified as “normal”, the user selects the “gradation” tab 62B or the “design” tab 62C to display the selection background image area 61. The remaining number of images may be selected from the individual background image 641B classified as “grade” or the individual background image 641C classified as “design”.

(For background image set)
Next, a case where the user selects a background image set will be described. Here, the case where the user selects the background image set 642A classified as “normal” will be described, but the case where the user selects the background image sets 642B and 642C classified as “grade” or “design”. However, the user's operation and the processing by the CPU 103 are the same.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the user selects the “normal” tab 62A, and each of the individual background image area 611 and the background image set area 612 of the background selection screen 60 has a plurality of individual items classified as “normal”. A background image 641A and a plurality of background image sets 642A are displayed.

  The user selects one background image set 642A by touching with a touch pen or a finger. CPU 103 accepts a selection operation of background image set 642A by the user (step S1152).

  The CPU 103 determines the type of background image selected by the user (step S1153). Here, since the user has selected the background image set 642A on the background selection screen 60, the type of the background image is “background image set”.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 16, the CPU 103 displays a confirmation image 67 for allowing the user to confirm the selected background image set 642A on the background selection screen 60 (step S1163). The confirmation image 67 is arranged on the selection background image area 61 without hiding the selected background image area 63. For this reason, when the selected background image 633 is already displayed in the selected background image display unit 631, the selected background image 633 is displayed on the background selection screen 60 together with the confirmation image 67.

  The confirmation image 67 includes an “OK” button 671, a “Stop” button 672, and a selected background image set 673. The selected background image set 673 is an image obtained by enlarging the background image set 642A selected by the user.

  When the user presses the “OK” button 671 with the touch pen or the finger on the confirmation image 67 (Yes in step S1164), the CPU 103 closes the background selection screen 60 and ends the background image selection process.

  When the user presses the “quit” button 672 in the confirmation image 67 (No in step S1164), the CPU 103 hides the confirmation image 67. In this case, the user can select the background image set 642A again or select the individual background image 641A on the background selection screen 60 (step S1152).

  Returning to FIG. 7, the description of the advance customer service process will be continued. When the background image selection process (step S115) ends, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the shooting booth 2 is vacant (step S116). When the photography booth 2 is not available (No in step S116), the CPU 103 displays a standby screen (not shown) for prompting the user to wait on the reception display 31 (step S117). When the photography booth 2 is vacant (Yes in step S116), the CPU 103 displays a guidance screen (not shown) for guiding the movement to the photography booth 2 on the reception display 31 (step S118). At this time, the CPU 103 may cause the speaker 33 to output a voice for guiding the user to the photographing booth 2 together with the display of the guidance screen.

  The CPU 103 stores name data indicating a name input by the user, a shooting course, and individual background image data or background image set data in the memory 105 (step S119). When the user finally selects individual background image data (in the case of Yes in step S1162), or because the remaining background selection time has become 0, six predetermined background images are used as individual background images. When set (step S1159), the CPU 103 stores each individual background image data in the memory 105 in association with the number of photographing. When the user finally selects background image set data (Yes in step S1164), the CPU 103 stores the background image set data in the memory 105. As described above, each of the plurality of background image data included in the background image set data is associated with the number of times of shooting.

<2.2. Photo image generation processing>
Next, the photographic image generation process (step S20) will be described. FIG. 17 is a flowchart of photographic image generation processing.

  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 sets the zoom of the camera 21 so as to obtain an angle of view corresponding to the shooting course selected in step S114, and starts shooting (step S212). In this embodiment, it is assumed that the user has selected the up whole body photographing course, and first, the zoom setting of the camera 21 is performed so that the angle of view corresponds to the up image.

  At the time of shooting, the CPU 103 causes the chroma key capture board 17 to perform chroma key processing for making the portion of the back panel 24 that appears behind the subject out of the video shot by the camera 21 transparent. The CPU 103 superimposes the chroma keyed video and the background image selected in step S115 on the front display 22 in order to make the user image the finish of the photo sticker. As described above, the individual background image data and each background image data in the background image set are stored in the memory 105 for each shooting count. For each shooting, the CPU 103 reads background image data corresponding to the number of shootings from the memory 105 and displays the background image on the front display 22.

  The CPU 103 controls the camera 21 to perform shooting. The CPU 103 shoots the user and generates four up images, then changes the zoom setting of the camera 21 so that the angle of view corresponds to the whole body image, shoots the user, and takes two whole body images. Is generated.

  After the six shootings are finished, the CPU 103 displays on the front display 22 a screen (not shown) for selecting the finished eye size and image brightness on the front display 22 and accepts the selection by the user (step). S213).

  The CPU 103 performs image processing on each up-image and each whole-body image generated in step S212 according to the size and brightness of the eyes selected in step S213, and trims the image to a predetermined image size. Processing is performed (step S214). For example, the up image is trimmed to a predetermined image size in which the aspect ratio of the image is 1.2: 1, and the whole body image is longer than the up image in a predetermined length, for example, the predetermined aspect ratio is 16: 9. Cropped to image size.

  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. (Step S215).

  Thereafter, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the editing booth 4 is vacant (step S216). If the editing booth 4 is not available (No in step S216), the CPU 103 displays a standby screen (not shown) for prompting the user to wait on the front display 22 (step S217). If the editing booth 4 is vacant (Yes in step S216), 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 S218). Note that the CPU 103 may cause the speaker 450 to output sound for guiding the user to the editing booth 4 together with the display of the guidance screen.

<2.3. Image editing process>
Next, the image editing process (step S30) will be described. FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the image editing process.

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

  When the user who has moved from the shooting booth 2 to the editing booth 4 touches the standby screen with the touch pen 412 (see FIG. 4), the CPU 103 starts counting down the remaining editing time (step S312).

  After step S312, the CPU 103 displays an editing screen (not shown) on the editing display 411, and starts a graffiti process (editing process) (step S313).

  In the graffiti process, the user can make a graffiti on each photographic image generated in step S215. The CPU 103 generates an edited image for each photo image based on the content that the user has doodled.

  After the graffiti processing is completed, the CPU 103 applies to each individual background image selected in the background image selection processing (step S115) or the selected background image set for each photo image (up photo image, whole body photo image). A synthesized image (up-synthesized image, whole-body synthesized image) is generated by synthesizing each background image included and the editing image for synthesis generated in the graffiti process (step S313) (step S314).

  Next, the CPU 103 displays a sheet layout selection screen (not shown) on the editing display 411 and accepts selection of a 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, in the selected sheet layout, the CPU 103 arranges the up composite image generated in step S314 in the area for the up composite image, and the whole body composite image generated in step S314 in the area for the whole body composite image. Are combined and a sheet image is generated.

  FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a sheet image when the up whole body photographing course is selected as the photographing course in the photographing course selection process in step S114. As illustrated in FIG. 19, four up composite images 5101 and two whole body composite images 5102 are arranged in the sheet image 510. When the up shooting course is selected as the shooting course, a sheet image 511 in which six up composite images 5101 are arranged is generated as illustrated in FIG.

  Thereafter, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the subsequent customer service section 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). The CPU 103 may cause the speaker 413 to output a voice for guiding the user to the post-service section 5 together with the display of the guidance screen.

<2.4. Subsequent customer service>
Next, the subsequent customer service process (step S40) will be described. FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the post-service processing.

  The CPU 103 displays a start screen on the reception display 51. When the user who has moved from the editing booth 4 touches the start screen with a finger, the image transmission process is started (step S411). Further, the CPU 103 outputs sound necessary for operation to the speaker 53.

  When the image transmission process is started, the CPU 103 causes the reception display 51 to display an image selection screen (not shown) for selecting an image to be transmitted to the user terminal device. On the image selection screen, the four up-synthesized images and the two whole-body synthesized images generated in step S314 are displayed. If six up composite images have been generated in step S314, six up composite images are displayed on the image selection screen. Among the images displayed on the image selection screen, image selection is accepted when the user touches a desired image.

  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. 4). 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 the selected 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 acquire one selected composite image by accessing the URL described in the received notification mail. In addition, the user can acquire all the images not selected by performing predetermined member registration.

  The processing in step S411 is executed during the waiting time until the printing processing in step S319 in FIG. 18 ends. When printing of the sheet image is completed in step S319, the CPU 103 discharges the sticker paper (photo sticker) on which the sheet image is printed from the photo sticker discharge port 52 (step S412). Up to here is a series of plays for a set of users.

  As described above, since the photography amusement machine 1 according to the present embodiment displays the background image set 642 together with the individual background image 641 on the background selection screen 60, the user can easily recognize the presence of the background image set 611. be able to. As a result, the user considers the possibility of selecting not only the individual background image 641 but also the background image set 642, so that the user can equalize the background image set 642 and the individual background image 641. You can prompt selection.

  In the present embodiment, the background image set area 612 is arranged below the individual background image area 611 on the background selection screen 60. This prevents a difference in appearance between the individual background image 641 and the background image set 642 displayed on the background selection screen 60 between the right user and the left user facing the background selection screen 60. be able to.

  In the present embodiment, when the user selects the individual background image 641 in the individual background image area 611 on the background selection screen 60, the selected individual background image 641 is selected as the selected background image 633. Is displayed. Therefore, the user can select the individual background image 641 while considering the balance between the already selected individual background image 641 and the individual background image 641 to be selected.

  In the present embodiment, the background image set area 612 is disposed between the individual background image area 611 and the selected background image area 63. For this reason, when the user selects the individual background image 641 in the individual background image area 611 and confirms the selected background image 633 displayed in the selected background image area 63, it is displayed in the background image set area 612.

  In the present embodiment, when the user selects the background image set 642 on the background selection screen 60, a confirmation image 67 is displayed. The confirmation image 67 is displayed on the selection background image area 61 so as not to hide the selected background image area 63. Therefore, when the user has already selected the individual background image 641, the user compares the selected background image 633 in the selected background image region 63 with the selected background image set 673 of the confirmation image 67 to determine the individual background image 641. Alternatively, it can be reconsidered which of the background image sets 642 should be selected. As a result, the user's satisfaction with the finally determined individual background image or background image set is determined because the individual background image or background image set is finally determined after careful consideration by the user. The degree can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, each individual background image 641 and each background image set 642 are classified according to a plurality of predetermined themes, and the individual background image 641 and the background image set 642 corresponding to the common theme are background selection screens. 60 background images 61 for selection are displayed. The display of the selection background image area 61 is switched for each theme when the user selects the theme selection tab 62.

  (1) In the embodiment described above, the background image set area 612 is arranged below the individual background image area 611 on the background selection screen 60. The arrangement is not particularly limited. For example, on the background selection screen 60, the background image set area 612 can be arranged above the individual background image area 611, and the background image set area 612 can be arranged on the left or right of the individual background image area 611. .

  (2) In the above-described embodiment, the background image set area 612 is arranged between the individual background image area 611 and the selected background image area 63 on the background selection screen 60. The positional relationship between the background image area 611 and the selected background image area 63 is not particularly limited. For example, on the background selection screen 60, the selected background image area 63 may be arranged above the individual background image area 611 or on the right or left of the individual background image area 611 and the background image set area 612. Note that the selected background image region 63 may not be provided on the background selection screen 60.

  (3) In the embodiment described above, when the selected background image 633 is already displayed on the background selection screen 60 when the user selects the background image set 642, the confirmation image 67 is selected as the background image area 61 for selection. Although the confirmation image 67 and the selected background image 633 are both displayed, the confirmation image 67 may be displayed on the selected background image 633. Even when the user selects the background image set 642, the background image selection process (step S115) can be ended without displaying the confirmation image 67.

  (4) In the above-described embodiment, the theme selection tab 62 is provided on the left and right of the selection background image area 61 on the background selection screen 60. However, the theme selection tab 62 is located on the left or right of the selection background image area 61. It may be provided on the right, or may be provided on at least one of the upper and lower sides of the selection background image area 61.

  (5) In the above-described embodiment, the individual background image 641 and the background image set 642 are classified for each theme, and the individual background image 641 and the background image set for each theme are selected by selecting the theme selection tab 62 on the background selection screen 60. However, the individual background image 641 and the background image set 642 need not be classified for each theme, and the display of the individual background image 641 and the background image set 642 need not be switched. In this case, it is not necessary to provide the theme selection tab 62 on the background selection screen 60.
