[First embodiment of the present invention]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of an image output system as an embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the image output system is configured by connecting an image output receiving terminal 1, an image data storage server 2, a moving image data storage server 3, and a mobile terminal 4 to each other via a network 5. Is done. In addition, the number of the image output reception terminal 1, the image data storage server 2, the moving image data storage server 3, and the portable terminal 4 is arbitrary, and it is of course possible to provide a plurality of each.

  The image output acceptance terminal 1 is a terminal that accepts a print order for image data stored in the portable terminal 4 or the storage medium 6 and prints it at the store. The image output reception terminal 1 acquires the moving image data from the mobile terminal 4 or the storage medium 6 in which the moving image data is stored and holds it inside or transmits it to the image data storage server 2 via the network 5. Or save it.

  When receiving an instruction to print a representative image of moving image data, the image output receiving terminal 1 receives information associated with the representative image of moving image data (for example, information indicating a reproduction range for several seconds before and after the representative image), Along with the moving image data, it is transmitted to the moving image data storage server 3 via the network 5 and stored there. Hereinafter, information associated with moving image data is simply referred to as “association information”.

  Then, the image output reception terminal 1 receives data (for example, URL (Uniform Resource Locator)) related to the storage location of the moving image data and the association information from the moving image data storage server 3 via the network 5.

  For example, when moving image data is taken into the image output receiving terminal 1, it is divided into several moving image blocks, and a representative image is determined for each moving image block (for each of a plurality of still images). Accordingly, when the user selects a desired representative image and instructs printing on the screen displaying a list of representative images for each moving image block, the moving image block related to the representative image is used as the association information of the moving image data. The image data is transmitted to the moving image data storage server 3 through the network 5 together with the moving image data, and stored there.

  The image output reception terminal 1 encodes the moving image data received from the moving image data storage server 3 and the data relating to the storage location of the association information, and the encoded storage location data (for example, QR code (registered trademark) or electronic data). Embedded in the print data (representative image data). The image output reception terminal 1 prints the print data in which the data relating to the storage location of the moving image data and the association information is embedded, and provides the print data 7.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of the computer 30 in the image output reception terminal 1. At least a part of the functional units shown in FIG. 5 is realized by executing an image printing program by the control unit 31 of FIG.

  The input control unit 61 controls input of image data and moving image data read by various media reading units 41 and image data and moving image data read by the communication unit 42.

  The display control unit 62 monitors various screens 44 such as a list display screen of image data and moving image data input to the input control unit 61 and an image output service guide screen for providing a user with a print service of image data. Control the display above.

  The image accepting unit 63 accepts selection of the representative image by the user on the representative image list screen of the moving image data displayed on the monitor 44.

When the division processing unit 64 accepts selection of a narrowing-down method by the user on the moving-image narrowing-down method selection screen displayed on the monitor 44, the division processing unit 64 converts the moving image data narrowed down by the selected narrowing-down method to a predetermined division criterion. According to the above, the video image is divided into video blocks and a representative image is determined for each video block. As the division criterion, for example, there are the following three criteria.
1. 1. Timing when recording time interval is available 2. Timing when an image changes greatly due to zooming or the like When to focus

  That is, the division processing unit 64 detects a portion (referred to as a cut or a cut break) where the scene of the moving image data changes greatly according to the above three division criteria, and divides the moving image data for each detected cut. Cut detection can be performed by dividing an image between adjacent frames into an M × N lattice (rectangular region), obtaining an average of pixel values for each rectangular region, and using the absolute value of the difference between the average values. When the absolute value of the difference is large, it is determined that the place is a cut. A portion between cuts is called a shot, and a portion divided for each shot is called a moving image block. In addition, since the division process is performed by dividing still images that meet the division criteria, the recording time differs for each moving image block.

  The division processing unit 64 determines a representative image from among a plurality of still images included in each moving image block for each divided moving image block. The representative image may be the first or last image of the moving image block (an image that meets the division criteria), or the image in the middle of the moving image block in time.

  The linking information management unit 65 transmits the linking information of the representative image of the moving image data received by the image receiving unit 63 to the moving image data storage server 3 through the network 5 together with the moving image data, and stores it there. At the same time, it receives and manages data relating to the storage location of the moving image data and the association information.

  For example, a single URL or a single URL + password may be considered as data relating to the storage location of the association information.
