  On the other hand, when the normal course is selected by operating the course selection button 401 for two persons, the course selection button 402 for three persons, or the course selection button 403 for four persons on the course selection screen, shooting management is performed in step S7. A unit 301 performs a photographing process in a normal course.

  In step S8, the image processing management unit 302 corresponds to the image processing space 209A corresponding to the image processing space that is the destination of the user who has finished photographing among the image processing space A2-1 and the image processing space A2-2. Alternatively, the image processing unit 209B is controlled to perform editing processing in the normal course. In the editing process, the images to be edited are appropriately switched and each of the plurality of captured images is edited.

  In step S9, the print management unit 303 performs print processing in the normal course. By the printing process, a plurality of edited images are printed on the sticker sheet according to the layout selected by the user.

  In step S10, the post-service customer management unit 304 performs post-service processing for a user who is waiting for printing to end. The post-service customer management unit 304 performs a process of transmitting the edited image to the mobile terminal as a post-service service process.

  When printing is completed, the sticker paper on which the edited image is printed is discharged to the sticker paper discharge port 163. The user takes out the sticker paper from the sticker paper outlet 163 and finishes the series of games. Details of each process performed when the normal course is selected will be described later.

  Each process is appropriately performed in parallel according to the number of users who use the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 and the timing when the use of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 is started. The sequence management unit 305 controls the timing of each process.

  As described above, the user can take an ID photo image using the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 installed in a game center or the like. In addition, since the ID photo image can be taken after the game for receiving the sticker paper on which the edited image is printed, it is not necessary to go to the place where the dedicated machine is installed or the photo studio.

  The main users of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 are female junior and senior high school students, but some female junior and senior high school students have an impression that it is difficult to enter a dedicated machine for taking ID photos. By making it possible to take an ID photo image using the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 installed in a game center or the like, it is possible to easily take an ID photo image.

  The fact that the ID photo image can be taken at the same amount as the game for receiving the sticker paper on which the edited image is printed also leads to the ID photo image being easily taken.

  Furthermore, for users accustomed to the game to receive the sticker paper on which the edited image is printed, the ID photo image can be taken and adjusted while moving the location in the same way as the game, It is possible to proceed with taking an ID photo image without losing operation. Since the adjustment after shooting can be performed in a space different from the shooting space A1, there is little resistance to staying in the same space.

  The shooting space A1 is a large space where a plurality of people can enter and perform shooting. Since such a wide space is ensured, there is less resistance to entering than when shooting in a narrow space where one person can enter.

  In addition, for a user who feels resistance even entering such a shooting space A1 alone, a display unit is provided in the vicinity of each of the two entrances formed on both side surfaces of the shooting unit 21, for example, You may make it display that the entrance / exit is the entrance / exit toward the user who uses an ID photo course on the display part of the entrance / exit of a person who is not conspicuous (for example, a direction with little crowd). Thereby, the user can enter the imaging space A1 without worrying about the eyes. In this case, in order to allow users to enter from both of the entrances and exits, a human sensor using infrared rays or the like is further provided in the vicinity of the entrances and exits from other users. In such a case, a message such as “There is a waiting person” may be displayed on the display unit. In addition, when a user who wants to use the ID Photo Course enters from the entrance of an invisible person, a user who does not know that has entered from the entrance of the person who sees it even though it is taking a picture. In order to avoid this, when shooting is performed in the shooting space A1, a message such as “shooting” may be displayed on the display unit.

[Shooting process in ID photo course]

  When the SKIP button 432 is operated or when the pre-shooting guidance is completed, the display control unit 322 starts displaying the live view in step S22. Moving image shooting by the camera 91 is started, and a moving image showing the user obtained by shooting is supplied from the camera control unit 323 to the display control unit 322.

  FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating an example of a live view display screen.

  In the image display area 431 provided in the approximate center of the live view display screen, a moving image showing the person H2 is displayed in real time. The person H2 is the user himself. The user can check his appearance by looking at his / her image displayed in the image display area 431.

  In the image display area 431, the same guideline consisting of the horizontal line 431A, the horizontal line 431B, and the vertical line 431C, which is the same as that displayed on the pre-shooting guidance screen, is displayed on the moving image of the user. The user adjusts the position of the face so that the vertical line 431C passes through the center by changing the standing position to the front, back, left, and right, and aligns the top position of the head with the horizontal line 431A, and the horizontal line 431B The bottom position will be aligned.

  Since the guideline is displayed on the live view as an indication of the position and size of the face, the user can check where to stand and take a picture.

  Although the line indicating the standard of the position and size of the face is displayed as a guideline, the image indicating the standard of the position and size of the face is not limited to a straight line image. For example, the standard position and size of the face may be represented by a curved image, or may be represented by an image having a predetermined shape such as an ellipse.

  In addition, although an image representing the face position and size guide is displayed, an image representing the position and size of the person other than the face may be displayed. For example, an image representing the position and size of the shoulder, the position and size of the eyes, and the position and size of the nose may be displayed.

  Furthermore, although an image that is a guide for both the position and size of the face is displayed, an image that is a guide for either the position or the size may be displayed.

  Since the shooting is performed in a standing state, it is difficult to accurately adjust the position and size of a person (user himself) even when viewing a live view as shown in FIG. As will be described later, the position and size of the person appearing in the photographed image are adjusted at the time of adjusting the ID photo image, and finally determined by the adjustment at that time.

  The first-stage adjustment of the person's position and size that is performed while viewing the live view during shooting is a coarse adjustment that is performed while standing, and the second-stage adjustment that is performed when adjusting the ID photo image is the final adjustment. Fine adjustment. At the time of shooting, the user has only to adjust his / her standing position so that it is approximately the size and appears in the approximate position.

  Note that the shooting range (view angle) of the camera 91 is wider than the range displayed in the image display area 431. A predetermined range is cut out from the moving image shot by the camera 91 and used to display the image display area 431.

  Along with the live view display, voice guidance that prompts you to adjust your appearance and position your face is also output. After such a live view is displayed for a predetermined time, a countdown before photographing is started. The countdown is started, for example, 10 seconds before the shooting timing.

  FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating an example of a live view display screen including a countdown display.

  When the countdown is started, as shown in FIG. 24, the guideline display disappears, and numbers indicating the number of seconds until photographing are displayed on the left and right sides of the image display area 431 in accordance with the countdown by voice. Under the image display area 431, a message “Shoot. Look at the camera.” Is displayed.

  When the shooting timing comes when the live view display screen is displayed on the touch panel monitor 92, in step S23, the camera control unit 323 performs the first still image shooting.

  As the time from the start of the live view display to the first shooting, the time in the ID photo course may be secured longer than the time in the normal course. When the display of the live view display screen shown in FIG. 23 is started, the camera control unit 323 performs the first shooting after a time longer than the time until the first shooting in the normal course has elapsed.

  Due to the nature, the ID photo image has a lower degree of freedom in appearance, subject position, etc. than the edited image obtained during the normal course. By securing a long time until the first shooting after the start of the live view display, users who shoot in the ID Photo Course should adjust their appearance and adjust their standing position to an appropriate position. Can be done over time.

  The camera control unit 323 outputs a captured image, which is a still image obtained by the first shooting, to the display control unit 322 and outputs to the captured image storage unit 324 for storage.

  In step S <b> 24, the camera control unit 323 displays the first shooting result on the touch panel monitor 92.

  FIG. 25 is a diagram illustrating an example of a shooting result confirmation screen.

  In the image display area 431 of the shooting result confirmation screen shown in FIG. 25A, a shot image obtained by the previous shooting is displayed. Under the image display area 431, a message “It is a photographing result.” Is displayed. The user can confirm the photographed image photographed immediately before from such a photographing result confirmation screen.

  After the shooting result confirmation screen is displayed for a predetermined time, the live view display is resumed, and the second and subsequent shootings are performed.

  That is, when the live view display screens of FIGS. 23 and 24 are displayed by the display control unit 322 and the second shooting timing is reached, in step S25, the camera control unit 323 performs the second still image shooting. . The camera control unit 323 outputs a captured image obtained by shooting to the display control unit 322 and outputs to the captured image storage unit 324 for storage.

  In step S <b> 26, the display control unit 322 causes the touch panel monitor 92 to display a photographing result confirmation screen that displays a photographed image obtained by the second photographing.

  The above process is repeated for a preset number of times. For example, when the number of times of photographing is set to four, the camera control unit 323 performs the third photographing in step S27, and in step S28, the display control unit 322 displays the photographed image obtained by the third photographing. A shooting result confirmation screen including the image is displayed on the touch panel monitor 92.

  In step S29, the camera control unit 323 performs the fourth shooting, and in step S30, the display control unit 322 causes the touch panel monitor 92 to display a shooting result confirmation screen including a shooting image obtained by the fourth shooting.

  As for the time from the previous shooting to the next shooting, that is, the shooting interval, the time in the ID photo course may be longer than the time in the normal course. The live view is displayed from the previous shooting to the next shooting, so that the user can adjust the appearance for the next shooting and adjust the standing position to an appropriate position. More time can be taken.

  Further, instead of confirming the photographing result every four photographings, a plurality of photographings may be continuously performed and the photographing results may be collectively confirmed. In this case, since the number of times of photographing can be increased more than four times, the user can select, for example, four photographed images from among many photographed images obtained as a result of photographing. Further, as shown in FIG. 25B, the shooting results obtained by the first to third shootings are sequentially displayed in the shooting result display areas 441 to 443 provided on the left side of the live view display screen, so that the previous time is displayed. You may make it confirm collectively the imaging | photography result obtained by imaging | photography. Needless to say, the live view display screen shown in FIG. 25B may be displayed also in the case of confirming the photographing result every time the second and subsequent photographings are performed.

  In step S31, the display control unit 322 causes the touch panel monitor 92 to display a normal course introduction screen. On the normal course introduction screen, an image representing the contents of editing of a photographed image that can be performed during the normal course is displayed.

  In step S32, the display control unit 322 guides the user who has finished photographing to move to the image processing space A2-1 or the image processing space A2-2. The movement guidance to the image processing space A2-1 or the image processing space A2-2 is also performed by displaying a screen on the touch panel monitor 92 or by outputting sound from the speaker 224.

  The user goes out of the shooting space A1, moves to the guided image processing space, and adjusts the ID photo image. Thereafter, the process returns to step S3 in FIG. 18, and the subsequent processing is performed.

[Adjustment process in ID photo course]
Next, the ID photo image adjustment process performed in step S4 in FIG. 18 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

  In step S41, the display control unit 332 of the image processing management unit 302 reads and obtains, for example, four captured images obtained by the capturing process from the captured image storage unit 324, and displays an image selection screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131. Let The image selection screen is a screen used to select one photographed image as an ID photo image from four photographed images.

  FIG. 27 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image selection screen.

  In the upper center of the image selection screen, a message “Select one image you want to print” is displayed prompting you to select an image. Below that, four captured images 451-1 to 451-4 are captured. They are displayed in order. The captured images 451-1 to 451-4 are four types of still images obtained by four capturing operations and having different compositions.

  The user selects a favorite photographed image by touching with the touch pen 132A or the touch pen 132B. In the example of FIG. 27, the captured image 451-1 is selected from the captured images 451-1 to 451-4, and the frame of the captured image 451-1 is highlighted by the cursor C.

  Below the photographed images 451-1 to 451-4, an OK button 452 that is operated when determining a photographed image to be used as an ID photo image is displayed.

  FIG. 28 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image selection screen when the number of captured images is three.

  When the number of times of photographing in the photographing process is 3, the user selects one photographed image as an ID photo image from the three photographed images using the image selection screen of FIG. become.

  In this way, the number of times of photographing can be set arbitrarily. Further, the number of photographed images used as ID photo images is not limited to one, and a plurality of photographed images may be selected as ID photo images.

  When one photographed image is selected from the image selection screen and the OK button 452 is operated, in step S42, the display control unit 332 displays a warning screen that is a screen that summarizes various cautions about the ID photograph image. It is displayed on the tablet built-in monitor 131.

  FIG. 29 is a diagram illustrating an example of a warning screen.

  As shown in FIG. 29, on the warning screen, the use of the ID photo image, the contents of the ID photo image correction (adjustment), the type of ID photo image printed on the sticker paper, and the ID photo image printing are displayed. A note about the type of print medium used for printing, the color actually printed, and the like are displayed.

  Under various precautions, a SKIP button 461 that is operated when the display of the warning screen is ended is displayed.

  When the SKIP button 461 is operated or when a predetermined time has elapsed since the warning screen was displayed, the guidance output control unit 331 controls the display control unit 322 to adjust the ID photo image in step S43. The pre-adjustment guidance is output, for example, by displaying a screen explaining the method on the tablet built-in monitor 131.

  FIG. 30 is a diagram illustrating an example of the pre-adjustment guidance screen.

  The pre-adjustment guidance screen is a screen in which only the portion related to the function to be explained is displayed in color in the entire adjustment screen, and the other portions are displayed in gray out.

  In the example of FIG. 30, the adjusted image display area 511 and the button area 512 are displayed in color. The adjustment image display area 511 is a display area for the ID photo image to be adjusted, and the button area 512 is an area in which buttons used for adjusting the position of the person are displayed. Since the guidance before adjustment is being performed, a still image in which the model person H1 is captured is displayed in the adjusted image display area 511.

  In the example of FIG. 30, an explanation of the position adjustment function performed using the buttons displayed in the button area 512 is represented by an arrow image 501 pointing to the button area 512. A sound such as “adjust the position of the first person” is output from the speaker 231 by the guidance output control unit 331 in accordance with the display of FIG. For example, the adjustment of the ID photo image is performed in the order of adjustment of the position of the person, adjustment of the size of the person, adjustment of the background color, and adjustment of the image. Not all of these four types of adjustments are performed, but at least one of the four types of adjustments may be performed. Further, other adjustments such as adjustment of the inclination of the person appearing in the ID photo image may be performed.

  On the pre-adjustment guidance screen, the arrow image 501 moves in accordance with the function being described, and the color display portion is used to adjust the area used for adjusting the size of the person and the background color. The area is switched in the order of the area where the buttons used are displayed and the area where the buttons used for adjusting the image are displayed.

  In response to the switching of the color display portion, sounds such as “adjust the size of the 2nd person”, “select the 3rd background color”, and “adjust the 4th image” are output from the speaker 231. In the upper right of the pre-adjustment guidance screen, a SKIP button 502 that is operated to end the pre-adjustment guidance is also displayed.

  When the SKIP button 502 is operated or when the pre-adjustment guidance is finished, the display control unit 332 displays an adjustment screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131 in step S44. The pre-adjustment guidance is also ended when an operation of pressing the touch pen 132A and touch pen 132B on the pre-adjustment guidance screen is performed without using the SKIP button 502.

  FIG. 31 is a diagram illustrating an example of the adjustment screen.

  In the adjustment image display area 511 at the approximate center of the adjustment screen, an ID photo image showing the user (person H2) is displayed. The ID photograph image displayed in the adjusted image display area 511 is one photographed image selected from the four photographed images on the image selection screen. In the display of the ID photo image in the adjustment image display area 511, the contents of the adjustment performed using the various buttons on the adjustment screen are reflected in real time.

  On the left side of the adjustment image display area 511, a button area 512, a button area 513 that is an area where buttons used for adjusting the size of a person are displayed, and a button used for adjusting the background color are displayed. A button area 514 which is an area is provided.

  On the other hand, on the right side of the adjustment image display area 511, a button area 515, which is an area for displaying buttons used for one-shot retouching, and a button area 516, which is an area for displaying buttons used for discerning retouching, are provided. . A button area 515 and a button area 516 are areas in which buttons used for adjusting the image are displayed.

  FIG. 32 is an enlarged view showing the button area 512, the button area 513, and the button area 514 of FIG.

  In the button area 512, a left button 512A, a right button 512B, an up button 512C, and a down button 512D are displayed. The left button 512A is a button that is operated when the position of the person is moved in the left direction, and the right button 512B is a button that is operated when the position of the person is moved in the right direction. The upper button 512C is a button operated when the position of the person is moved upward, and the lower button 512D is a button operated when the position of the person is moved downward. Each time the button displayed in the button area 512 is pressed, the position of the person moves by a predetermined amount.

  In the button area 513, a minus button 513A and a plus button 513B are displayed. The minus button 513A is a button operated when reducing the size of the person, and the plus button 513B is a button operated when increasing the size of the person. Each time the button displayed in the button area 513 is pressed, the size of the person changes by a predetermined amount.

  The adjustment using the button displayed in the button area 512 and the button displayed in the button area 513 is the second-stage adjustment of the position and size of the person.

  FIG. 33 is a diagram illustrating a display example of an adjustment screen at the time of second-stage adjustment of the position and size of a person.

  When adjusting the position and size of a person, as in live view display, the adjustment image display area 511 displays a guideline composed of horizontal lines 511A, 511B and vertical lines 511C overlaid on the ID photo image. . A horizontal line 511A represents a height serving as a guide for the top position of the head, and a horizontal line 511B represents a height serving as a guide for the position of the chin. Further, the vertical line 511C represents a position that is a guide in the horizontal direction of the center of the face.

  For example, when adjusting the position of the person, a voice such as “Adjust the position of the person. Adjust according to the position of the guideline” is output from the speaker 231 by the guidance output control unit 331. Further, when adjusting the size of the person, a voice such as “Adjust the size of the person. Adjust according to the size of the guideline” is output from the speaker 231 by the guidance output control unit 331.

  The user operates the buttons displayed in the button area 512 and the button area 513 to align the face so that the vertical line 511C passes through the center, and aligns the top position of the head to the horizontal line 511A. The bottom position of the chin is aligned with the horizontal line 511B.

  In this way, only the rough adjustment is performed at the time of photographing, and then the fine adjustment is performed using the touch pens 132A and 132B at the time of adjustment of the ID photo image, so that the position and size of the person in the ID photo image can be adjusted. It becomes possible to adjust accurately.

  Similar to the first-stage adjustment at the time of shooting, the image representing the standard position and size of the face is not limited to a straight line image. In addition, an image representing the position and size of a part of a person other than the face may be displayed. Furthermore, an image that serves as an indication of either the position or size of the face may be displayed.

  Since the adjustment at the first stage during shooting is a coarse adjustment, only an image that is one of the approximate positions and sizes of the face is displayed, and at the second adjustment, which is a fine adjustment, the face is adjusted. It is also possible to display an image that serves as an indication of both the position and size.

  When displaying the live view, the user needs to check the appearance by looking at the live view. By reducing the information to be displayed over the live view, it becomes easier for the user to confirm his / her appearance.

  34A and 34B are diagrams illustrating an example of image processing when adjusting the position and size of a person.

  34A and 34B is the entire image of the ID photograph image, and the range indicated by the frame F1 is the range displayed in the adjusted image display area 511. In shooting, data in a range wider than the range displayed on the tablet built-in monitor 131 is acquired, and the position and size of the person can be adjusted on the acquired image so as to change the range in the frame F1. Done.

  For example, each time the left button 512A of the button area 512 is operated, the adjustment unit 334 moves the range of the frame F1 to the right by a predetermined amount as indicated by the white arrow # 11 in FIG. The position of the person in the frame F1 is moved leftward. Further, each time the right button 512B is operated, the adjustment unit 334 moves the range of the frame F1 to the left by a predetermined amount as indicated by the white arrow # 12, and moves the position of the person in the frame F1 to the right Move in the direction.

  Similarly, when the upper button 512C and the lower button 512D of the button area 512 are operated, the adjustment unit 334 moves the range of the frame F1 downward by a predetermined amount as indicated by white arrows # 13 and # 14, respectively. Alternatively, the position is moved upward to move the position of the person in the frame F1.

  Further, every time the minus button 513A of the button area 513 is operated, the adjustment unit 334 sets the range that fits in the frame F1 as shown by the outward white arrow # 21 in FIG. 34B to the range that fits in the frame F11. And the relative size of the person with respect to the frame F1 is reduced. Thereby, the number of persons displayed in the adjusted image display area 511 is reduced. Further, every time the plus button 513B is operated, the adjustment unit 334 narrows the range to be accommodated in the frame F1 as indicated by the inward white arrow # 22 by a predetermined amount, such as the range to be accommodated in the frame F12. The relative size of the person with respect to the frame F1 is increased. Thereby, the person displayed in the adjustment image display area 511 becomes large.

  When the adjustment is completed, the range within the frame F1 is cut out from the image P41 by trimming and used as an ID photo image.

  When adjusting the position of the person, for example, if the position of the person is shifted too much downward, the position of the upper side of the frame F1 in FIG. 34A becomes a position above the position of the upper side of the captured image P41, and the image is captured in the frame F1. A range outside the area of the image P41 may be included (data of the photographed image may not include data in the area above the person). In that case, a background area (transparent background area) is added to the range included in the frame F1 above the photographed image P41 in order to prevent a margin from being generated above the person displayed in the adjusted image display area 511. Processing is performed.

  Similarly, when adjusting the size of a person, the frame F11 in FIG. 34B is larger than the captured image P41, and the frame F11 includes a range outside the region of the captured image P41. Yes (there may be no data of the area around the person as the data of the photographed image). In this case, a background area (transparent background area) is added to a range outside the area of the captured image P41 included in the frame F1 so that no margin is generated around the person displayed in the adjusted image display area 511. Processing is performed.

  These processes are performed when the user performs shooting without following the pre-shooting guidance. When it is assumed that the user is shooting according to the pre-shooting guidance, the adjustment of the position and size of the person is restricted so that the frame F1 does not include the range outside the area of the shot image P41. You may be made to do.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 32, in the button area 514, background color selection buttons 514A to 514F used for selecting the color of the background image are displayed. The background color selection buttons 514A to 514F are buttons of different colors. As described with reference to FIG. 11, the ID photo image is configured by combining the subject of the captured image with the background image.

  The adjustment unit 334 changes the background image to be combined with the subject of the captured image and adjusts the color in response to the operation of the background color selection buttons 514A to 514F. For example, when the background is adjusted, a sound such as “Select a background. If there is a background color designation in the provision of the destination, please choose according to the rule.” Is output from the speaker 231.

  FIG. 35 is an enlarged view of the button area 515 and the button area 516 shown in FIG.

  In the button area 515, mode selection buttons 515A to 515C that are operated when adjusting the image using the one-shot retouch function are displayed. The one-shot retouch function is a function that adjusts the brightness, skin quality, impression of eyes, and hair color of the user in the ID photo image in one operation. .

  For example, three types of brightness are available for the skin brightness: “Healthy” (represents skin brightness that is slightly tanned), “Recommended (natural)”, and “Brighter” As the skin quality, three types of skin quality with names “mat”, “recommended (natural)”, and “soft” are prepared. There are three types of impressions with the names “gentle” (representing the impression of a gentle atmosphere with blurred outlines), “recommended (natural)”, and “clear”. Three types of hair colors having names “dark”, “recommended (natural)”, and “light” are prepared.

  The mode selection buttons 515A to 515C are buttons that are operated when the image is collectively adjusted in a mode in which the names “cleanliness”, “healthy”, and “gorgeous” are set, respectively.

  FIG. 36 is a diagram illustrating an example of a combination of reflections used when each mode of one-shot retouch is selected.

  “Cleanliness” mode is a mode in which the skin brightness is set to “Recommended (Natural)”, the skin quality is set to “Recommended (Natural)”, the eye impression is set to “Gentle”, and the hair color is set to “Dark”. . The “healthy” mode is a mode in which the skin brightness is set to “healthy”, the skin quality is set to “mat”, the eye impression is set to “recommended (natural)”, and the hair color is set to “recommended (natural)”. is there. The “gorgeous” mode is a mode in which the skin brightness is set to “bright”, the skin quality is set to “soft”, the eye impression is set to “clear”, and the hair color is set to “bright”. Naturally, the combination of each mode and the image is not limited to that shown in FIG. 36, and other combinations may be used.

  In the button area 516, buttons that are operated by discerning retouching, which is a function for individually adjusting the skin brightness, skin quality, eye impression, and hair color without using the one-shot retouching function, are displayed. The The button area 516 is provided with areas 531 to 534.

  In the region 531, display selection buttons 531 </ b> A to 531 </ b> C that are operated when selecting a desired skin brightness from the three types of “healthy”, “recommended (natural)”, and “bright” are displayed. . Each parameter relating to skin color such as hue, saturation, and brightness is associated with the brightness of “healthy”, “recommended (natural)”, and “bright”.

  When any one of the image selection buttons 531A to 531C is operated, the adjustment unit 334 detects the skin area of the subject and sets a parameter according to the selected type of brightness. Adjust the brightness.

  In the area 532, there are displayed image selection buttons 532A to 532C that are operated when a desired skin quality is selected from three types of “mat”, “recommended (natural)”, and “soft”. Each skin quality of “mat”, “recommended (natural)”, and “soft” is associated with parameters such as hue, saturation, and brightness, and parameters such as sharpness.

  When any one of the image selection buttons 532A to 532C is operated, the adjustment unit 334 detects the skin area of the subject and sets parameters according to the selected type of skin quality. Adjust quality.

  In the area 533, the image selection buttons 533A to 533C that are operated when selecting a desired eye impression from the three types of “gentle”, “recommended (natural)”, and “clear” are displayed. Parameters such as sharpness are associated with impressions of each of “gentle”, “recommended (natural)”, and “clear”.

  When any one of the image selection buttons 533A to 533C is operated, the adjustment unit 334 detects the eye of the subject, and sets the parameter according to the selected type of impression to set the impression of the eye. adjust.

  In the area 534, display selection buttons 534A to 534C that are operated when a favorite hair color is selected from three types of “dark”, “recommended (natural)”, and “light” are displayed. Each of the “dark”, “recommended (natural)”, and “light” hair colors is associated with each parameter relating to the hair color, such as hue, saturation, and brightness.

  When any one of the image selection buttons 534A to 534C is operated, the adjustment unit 334 detects the hair region of the subject, and sets a parameter corresponding to the selected type of color to select the hair color. adjust.

  It should be noted that each of the skin brightness, skin quality, impression of eyes, and hair color, which is adjusted by operating each button displayed in the button area 515 or the button area 516, is displayed in the button area 514. The color selection buttons 514A to 514F to be displayed may be set according to the color of the background image selected by operating. This makes it possible to obtain an ID photo image with better appearance.

  On the adjusted image display area 511 of FIG. 31, an adjusting button 541 and a pre-adjustment button 542 are displayed. The adjusting button 541 is a button that is operated when displaying the ID photo image being adjusted in the adjusted image display area 511, and the pre-adjustment button 542 is a button for adjusting the ID photo image before the adjustment image display area 511. This button is operated when displayed on the screen. Any of the adjusting button 541 and the pre-adjusting button 542 can be operated.

  The adjustment unit 334 manages data of two types of ID photo images, ie, an ID photo image before adjustment and an ID photo image being adjusted. In response to an operation on the adjustment button 541 and the pre-adjustment button 542, the display of the adjustment image display area 511 is switched based on the data managed by the adjustment unit 334.

  The user operates the adjusting button 541 and the pre-adjustment button 542 alternately, thereby adjusting the ID photo image being adjusted using each button and the ID photo image before adjustment, that is, before adjustment, that is, without adjustment. Can be compared. Note that the ID photo image being adjusted and the ID photo image before adjustment (no adjustment) may be displayed side by side.

  On the adjustment screen, four types of adjustments are performed: the position of the person, the size of the person, the background color, and the image, but when the pre-adjustment button 542 is operated, it is displayed as an image for the ID photo before adjustment. The image may be an unadjusted ID photo image without even adjusting the position and size of the person, or at least one of the position, the size of the person, and the background color May be an adjusted ID photo image.

  For example, by displaying an adjusted image of the position of the person, the size of the person, and the background color as the ID photo image before adjustment, the user can adjust the ID photo image being adjusted. Can be compared with the ID photo image before adjustment of the image, and it is possible to simply determine whether the image is liked.

  Also, one or more adjusted ID photo images are stored, and the stored adjusted ID photo image can be compared with the ID photo image being adjusted. Good. In addition, when a plurality of adjusted ID photo images are stored, an ID photo image to be finally printed is selected from a plurality of adjusted ID photo images. Also good. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a sticker paper on which an ID photo image desired by the user is printed.

  Below the adjustment image display area 511, an explanation button 543 that is operated when displaying an explanation of each adjustment function, a redo button 544 that is operated when redoing the adjustment from the beginning, and the adjustment of the ID photo image are completed.

The contents of the editing tool prepared on the editing screen change according to the user name input on the name input screen. For example, a stamp image representing the name of the user is prepared as an editing tool.

  In step S122, the display control unit 332 reads and acquires, for example, six photographed images obtained by the photographing process from the photographed image storage unit 324, and displays the eye & face size adjustment screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131. The eye & face size adjustment screen is a screen used to adjust the size of the user's eyes and face that appear in the captured image.

  FIG. 48 is a diagram showing an example of an eye & face size adjustment screen.

  In the upper center of the eye & face size adjustment screen, a message “Please select eye size and face size for each person” is displayed, and below that, a face image display area 721L and a face image display area 721R are displayed. Provided apart. The face image display area 721L is an area in which a face of a person shown on the left side, which is cut out from a captured image showing two users, is displayed in an enlarged manner, and the face image display area 721R is shown on the right side. This is an area in which a person's face is enlarged and displayed. For example, the face area of a person cut out from the first photographed image is displayed in the face image display area 721L and the face image display area 721R.

  A button area 722L is provided below the face image display area 721L, and a button area 722R is provided below the face image display area 721R. The user standing on the left side of the tablet built-in monitor 131 operates the button displayed in the button area 722L using the touch pen 132A prepared on the left side of the tablet built-in monitor 131, and his / her own displayed in the button area 722L. The size of the eyes and face of the image will be adjusted. On the other hand, the user standing on the right side of the tablet built-in monitor 131 operates the button displayed in the button area 722R using the touch pen 132B prepared on the right side of the tablet built-in monitor 131, and is displayed in the button area 722R. You will adjust the size of your eyes and face.

  In the upper part of the button area 722L, eye size selection buttons 731-1L to 731-3L, which are buttons used for adjusting the eye size, are displayed. In the eye size selection buttons 731-1L to 731-3L, images of different sizes cut out from the captured image by trimming are displayed.

  The eye size selection button 731-1L is a button that is operated when selecting the size of the captured image as it is as the eye size, and the eye size selection button 731-2L selects a slightly larger size. This button is sometimes operated. The eye size selection button 731-3L is a button operated when selecting a large size.

  In the lower part of the button area 722L, face size selection buttons 732-1L to 732-3L, which are buttons used for adjusting the face size, are displayed. The face size selection buttons 732-1L to 732-3L display face images of different sizes cut out from the captured image by trimming.

  The face size selection button 732-1L is a button operated when selecting the size of the face as it is in the photographed image, and the face size selection button 732-2L selects a slightly smaller size. This button is sometimes operated. The face size selection button 732-3L is a button operated when a small size is selected.

  An OK button 733L that is operated when the adjustment of the size of the eyes and the face is finished is displayed at the lower right of the button area 722L.

  The same button as that displayed in the button area 722L is also displayed in the button area 722R. In the upper part of the button area 722R, eye size selection buttons 731-1R to 731-3R which are buttons used for adjusting the eye size are displayed, and in the lower part, buttons used for adjusting the face size. Certain face size selection buttons 732-1R to 732-3R are displayed. An OK button 733R that is operated when the adjustment of the size of the eyes and the face is finished is displayed at the lower right of the button area 722R.

  When any one of the eye size selection buttons 731-1L to 731-3L is operated, in step S123, the adjustment unit 334 displays the person displayed in the face image display area 721L from each captured image. The eye area of the same person is detected, and the size of the eye included in the detected area is adjusted according to the selected size.

  In addition, when any one of the face size selection buttons 732-1L to 732-3L is operated, the adjustment unit 334 is the same as the person displayed in the face image display area 721L from each captured image. A human face area is detected, and the size of the face included in the detected area is adjusted according to the selected size.

  Similarly, when the eye size selection buttons 731-1R to 731-3R are operated, or when the face size selection buttons 732-1R to 732-3R are operated, the adjustment unit 334 appears in each captured image. The size of the eyes and face of the same person as the person displayed in the face image display area 721R is adjusted. When the OK button 733L and the OK button 733R are operated, the adjustment of the size of the eyes and the face is finished.

  As described above, the face size adjustment that is not performed when the ID photograph image is adjusted can be performed when the captured image is edited. If the user can adjust the size of the user's face in the ID photo image according to his / her preference, the authenticity of the ID photo image is impaired, which is not preferable. By setting the contents that can be adjusted when editing the photographed image but not when adjusting the ID photo image, it is possible to prevent the authenticity of the ID photo image from being impaired.

  When editing a shot image, you can apply makeup-like image processing to the shot image or reduce the shape of the face, but these adjustments can no longer be done when adjusting the ID photo image. It is also possible to set a difference between the contents of the process in editing the photographed image and adjusting the ID photo image.

  In step S124, the display control unit 322 causes the tablet built-in monitor 131 to display a brightness adjustment screen, which is a screen used for adjusting the brightness of the skin of the user shown in the captured image.

  FIG. 49 is a diagram illustrating an example of a brightness adjustment screen.

  A message “Please select brightness” is displayed at the upper center of the brightness adjustment screen, and a display area 741 is provided below it. In the display area 741, for example, the first photographed image selected from the six photographed images is displayed.

In a button area 742 below the display area 741, brightness selection buttons 751-1 to 751-5, which are buttons used to adjust the brightness of the skin, are displayed. The button displayed on the left side is a button operated when selecting darker skin, and the button displayed on the right side is operated when selecting lighter skin. is there. Images obtained by changing the skin color of the person appearing in the captured image displayed in the display area 741 are used as the brightness selection buttons 751-1 to 751-5.

  On the right side of the brightness selection button 751-5, an OK button 752 operated when the brightness adjustment is finished is displayed.

  When any one of the brightness selection buttons 751-1 to 755-5 is operated, in step S125, the adjustment unit 334 detects a human skin region from each captured image, and the detected region. Are adjusted according to the selected brightness. When the OK button 752 is operated, the brightness adjustment is finished.

  In step S126, the display control unit 322 causes the tablet built-in monitor 131 to display a background selection screen, which is a screen used to select a user's background in the captured image.

  FIG. 50 is a diagram illustrating an example of the background selection screen.

  In the upper center of the background selection screen, a message “Please select your favorite set background” is displayed, and below it, six captured images are displayed in two rows and three columns. The set background is a set of background images set in advance, and includes a plurality of background images selected along a predetermined theme. When there are six captured images, one set background is composed of a combination of six background images. The user can select a set background to be combined with the captured images 771-1 to 771-6 from the background selection screen in FIG.

  The photographed images 771-1 to 771-3 are arranged in order from the left in the upper part of the six photographed images, and the photographed images 771-4 to 771-6 are arranged in order from the left in the lower part. The captured images 771-1 to 771-6 are arranged in the order of shooting, for example.

  The captured images 771-1 to 771-6 are images that have been subjected to adjustment of the size of the eyes and the size of the face. The background of the two users captured as subjects is white inside the imaging space A1. A solid wall (inside the back panel 51) is shown. The background of the user shown in the captured images 771-1 to 771-6 is changed in real time according to the selection of the background image.

  Under the photographed images 771-1 to 771-6, a background image palette 772 that is a horizontally long region in which a set background as an option or a sample image of the background image is displayed is displayed. The background image palette 772 is configured such that tabs 791L to 794L are vertically arranged on the left side of the display area 781, and tabs 791R to 794R are vertically arranged on the right side.

  A name is set for each tab, and a set background sample image belonging to the selected tab group is displayed in the display area 781. In the example of FIG. 50, the tab 791L and the tab 791R are in a selected state and are displayed larger than the other tabs.

  In the display area 781, eight types of set backgrounds 801-1 to 801-8 which are set background sample images (set background sample images) are displayed side by side in an upper row and four in the lower row. The set backgrounds 801-1 to 801-8 are set backgrounds composed of background images of predetermined colors. Each of the six background images constituting each set background is used for synthesizing photographed images arranged at corresponding positions.

  A button 802 and a button 803 displayed on the right side of the set background 801-8 select whether or not to display a person (a user shown in the photographed image) on the set backgrounds 801-1 to 801-8. This button is sometimes operated.

  In the example of FIG. 50, for example, the set background 801-1 is selected with the touch pen 132A by the user on the left side, and the cursor C is displayed so as to surround the set background 801-1. Since the set background 801-1 is selected, the captured images 771-1 to 771-6 are displayed in a state where the background images constituting the set background 801-1 are combined.

  On the right side of the captured images 771-1 to 771-6, an OK button 773 that is operated when the selection of the background is finished is displayed. For example, when the OK button 773 is pressed while the set background 801-2 is selected, the background selection is completed, and the background images constituting the set background 801-2 are combined with the captured image.

  When the OK button 773 on the background selection screen is pressed, in step S127, the adjustment unit 334 adjusts the background of the captured image by combining the background images selected by the user (background images constituting the background set). Then, a captured image to be edited is generated. The photographed image to be edited is an image in which the size of the user's eyes and face, the brightness of the skin, and the background appearing in the photographed image are adjusted.

  When the selection of the background image is completed, in step S128, the display control unit 332 displays the editing screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131.

  FIG. 51 is a diagram showing an example of the editing screen.

It is an area used by a person. The remaining time of the editing process and the like are displayed in an upper area 811 in the center. Note that the alternate long and short dash lines and broken lines surrounding each region in FIG. 51 are not actually displayed on the screen.

  A thumbnail image display area 821L above the center of the area 812L is a display area for thumbnail images representing photographed images. The user selects a captured image to be edited by selecting a thumbnail image displayed in the thumbnail image display area 821L.

  In the example of FIG. 51, thumbnail images P51 to P56 representing six photographed images are displayed side by side in the order of photographing, and the leftmost thumbnail image P51 is selected, so that the first photographed image is selected for editing. Yes.

  A relatively large editing area 822L provided in the approximate center of the area 812L is a display area for a captured image selected as an editing target. The user selects a favorite editing tool from those displayed on the editing palette 831L using the touch pen 132A, and then designates a position on the captured image displayed in the editing area 822L. Then, editing can be performed by synthesizing a composite image such as a handwritten character or a stamp image with a photographed image at a designated position.

  An editing palette display area 823L below the editing area 822L is a display area of an editing palette 831L used for selecting various editing tools such as a stamp image. The editing tools displayed on the editing palette are divided into categories, and the editing tools displayed on the editing palette 831L can be switched by selecting a tab.

  The correction tool selection area 824L above the editing palette display area 823L is a button used to select an eraser tool which is a tool used when erasing input editing, or when returning to the previous or next work. This is an area where buttons to be operated are displayed side by side.

  The one-shot graffiti button 825L on the right side of the edit area 822L is a button operated when editing using the one-shot graffiti function. The one-shot graffiti function is a function for combining a plurality of types of editing tools and editing previously set contents into a photographed image to be edited.

  An end button 826L that is operated when the editing process is ended is displayed on the one-shot graffiti button 825L.

  In the region 812R, the same configuration as that of the region 812L is arranged symmetrically. In the example of FIG. 51, by selecting a thumbnail image P53 from the thumbnail image display area 821R, the third photographed image is to be edited.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 47, in step S129, the editing unit 333 edits the captured image in accordance with a user operation on the editing screen. The edited image generated by the editing is supplied from the editing unit 333 to the image storage unit 335 and stored therein. The editing of the captured image is continued, for example, until a predetermined time set in advance elapses or until the end buttons 826L and 826R prepared on the editing screen are operated.

  In step S <b> 130, the editing unit 333 determines whether or not the editing has ended. If it is determined that the editing has not ended, the editing unit 333 repeats the processing from step S <b> 128 onward.

  If it is determined in step S130 that the editing has ended because the time limit has elapsed or the editing screen end buttons 826L and 826R have been operated, in step S131, the display control unit 332 displays the division number selection screen. Is displayed on the tablet built-in monitor 131. The division number selection screen is a screen used for selecting a layout when an edited image generated by an editing operation is printed on sticker paper.

  FIG. 52 is a diagram illustrating an example of the division number selection screen.

  The message “Please select the number of divisions” is displayed at the upper center of the division number selection screen, and below that, a selection button 851 that is operated when selecting “recommended divisions”, and “divisional division” is selected. A selection button 852 that is operated when the user selects and a selection button 853 that is operated when the user selects “small division / large division” are displayed. In response to the operation of the selection buttons 851 to 853, the display of the options for the number of divisions displayed in the area 854 below the selection buttons 851 to 853 is switched.

  The region 854 is configured by arranging main components on the left and right. Each of the two users can select a desired number of divisions.

  On the left side of the area 854, a print image 861L indicating the number of divisions being selected is displayed. The print image 861L is an image in which an edited image generated by editing processing is arranged in a selected layout. On the left side of the print image 861L, a vertical / horizontal selection button 862L and an OK button 863L are displayed. The OK button 863L is a button operated when the selection of the number of divisions is finished.

  In the layout display area 864L, images 871-1 to 871-3 that are sample images of the number of divisions are displayed.

  Similarly, a print image 861R indicating the number of divisions being selected is displayed on the right side of the area 854, and a vertical / horizontal selection button 862R and an OK button 863R are displayed on the right side thereof. In the layout display area 864R, images 871-1 to 871-3 which are sample images of the number of divisions are displayed.

  When a predetermined layout is selected from such a division number selection screen, in step S132, the display control unit 332 guides the user who has finished editing the captured image to move to the post-service space A3. The guidance for the movement to the post-service space A3 is performed by displaying a screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131 or by outputting sound from the speaker 231. Thereafter, the process returns to step S8 in FIG. 18, and the subsequent processing is performed.

[Printing process in normal course]
Next, the edited image printing process performed in step S9 in FIG. 18 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

  In step S <b> 141, the print data generation unit 341 of the print management unit 303 reads and acquires the edited image stored in the image storage unit 335.

  In step S142, the print data generation unit 341 arranges the edited image according to the layout selected by the user using the division number selection screen, and generates print data. The print data generation unit 341 outputs the generated print data to the printer control unit 342.

  In step S143, the printer control unit 342 controls the printer 241 to print the edited image on the sticker sheet based on the print data generated by the print data generation unit 341. As a result, the sticker sheet as described with reference to FIG. 8 is generated and discharged to the sticker sheet discharge port 163. Thereafter, the process returns to step S9 in FIG. 18, and the subsequent processing is performed.

[Ex-post customer service in regular courses]
Next, the subsequent customer service process performed in step S10 of FIG. 18 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S151, the display control unit 351 of the post-service customer management unit 304 displays an e-mail address input screen on the tablet built-in monitor 161. The e-mail address input screen is the same as the screen described with reference to FIG.

  When a mail address is input on the input screen, in step S152, the communication control unit 352 transmits the edited image data and mail address read from the image storage unit 335 to the server. The display control unit 351 displays the introduction screen of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 on the tablet built-in monitor 161 and ends the process. Thereafter, the process returns to step S10 in FIG. 18, and a series of processes of the normal course is ended.

  As described above, the user can obtain a sticker sheet on which an edited image is printed after shooting with a friend and playing with editing by selecting a normal course.

  As described above, the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 provides the user with the sticker paper on which the edited image is printed, in the same manner as the conventional photo sticker machine, through a series of processes of a normal course. Through a series of processes of the ID photo course, a sticker sheet on which an ID photo image is printed can be provided to the user.

<Modification>
Note that the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 can further provide the functions described below in a series of processes of the ID photo course.

[Guidance when displaying live view]
In the above, as described with reference to FIG. 23, the voice guidance that prompts the user to adjust the appearance and the face position according to the live view display is output. In addition to this, the guidance output control unit 321 outputs a voice guidance prompting the user to correct the facial expression, a checklist in which contents output by such guidance are listed as character information, and FIG. As shown, the degree of completion indicating the degree of completion of shooting preparation may be displayed on the live view display screen.

  In the live view display screen shown in FIG. 55, character information of “completion degree 80%” representing the degree of completion is displayed below the image display area 431. If the degree of completion does not exceed a predetermined value, the countdown before photographing may not be started. As a result, a captured image with a higher degree of completeness can be obtained.

[Enter name]
In the above, in the normal course editing process, the user inputs a name. However, in the ID photo course, the user may input a name.

  Specifically, in the ID photo course, before the printing process is started, for example, after the confirmation screen (FIG. 40) operated when selecting the use of the mobile transmission function in the adjustment process, FIG. Make sure that the name entry screen is displayed as shown.

  As shown in FIG. 56, a message “Please input your name” is displayed above the name input screen, and a display field 911 for displaying the input name is provided below it. To the right of the display column 911, a return button 912 that is operated to delete one character displayed in the display column 911, and an erase that is operated to delete all the characters displayed in the display column 911. A button 913 is displayed, and an input button 914 used for inputting hiragana is displayed below the display field 911.

  Furthermore, below the input button 914, a conversion button 915 that is operated when converting hiragana displayed in the display field 911 into kanji or katakana, an OK button 916 that is operated when inputting the name, and A skip button 917 operated when skipping (omitting) name input is displayed.

  The user can input his / her name by operating the input button 914 and operating the conversion button 915 as necessary.

  The name input in this way is printed on the sticker paper together with the ID photo image in the printing process executed by the print management unit 303.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 57A, the name 922 inputted by the user may be printed in the margin area of the edge of the sticker paper together with the shooting date 921 or the like, or as shown in FIG. 57B. In addition, the name 923 and the shooting date and time 924 may be printed on the back side of the surface of the seal paper on which the ID photo image is printed. In FIG. 57B, a name 923 and a shooting date / time 924 are printed at positions corresponding to the positions where the ID photo images on the sticker paper are printed, which are indicated by broken lines in the drawing. Thus, even when the ID photo image printed on the sticker paper is cut out with scissors or the like, it is possible to know who the ID photo is and when it was taken. As described above, the print medium on which the ID photo image is printed is not limited to the sticker paper but may be a photographic paper. In addition, in the case where the name and the shooting date / time are printed on the back side of the surface on which the ID photo image of the sticker paper or photographic paper is printed, a printer dedicated to back side printing may be provided in addition to the printer 241. .

[Print receipt]
In the above description, the receipt is also printed on the sticker paper on which the ID photo image is printed. However, the user may select whether or not to print the receipt.

  Specifically, in the ID photo course, before the printing process is started, for example, after the confirmation screen (FIG. 40) operated when selecting the use of the mobile transmission function in the adjustment process, FIG. The confirmation screen as shown is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 58, a message “Print receipt?” Is displayed above the confirmation screen, and a button 931A, which is a YES button operated when printing a receipt, and a receipt are displayed below the message. A button 931B which is a NO button operated when not printing is displayed.

  When the button 931A is operated, in the printing process executed by the print management unit 303, as described above, the receipt is printed on the sticker paper together with the ID photo image. On the other hand, when the button 931B is operated, the receipt is not printed on the sticker paper. In this case, as shown in FIG. 59, the number of ID photo images printed on one sheet of sticker paper is increased by printing the ID photo images also on the area where the receipt is printed on the sticker paper. be able to.

  Further, when the receipt is printed on the sticker paper, the receipt including the address and company name on the side issuing the receipt may be printed.

  Store information including the name and address of the store where the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 is installed is stored and managed in a server which is one of the components that realize the mobile transmission function. Therefore, in the printing process, the print management unit 303 accesses the server, and the server stores the store information of the store in which the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 is installed based on the housing information that identifies the photo sticker creating apparatus 1. It is made to transmit to the photograph sticker production apparatus 1. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 60, the receipt including the address of the store where the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 is installed and the company name (may be the store name) is sealed together with the ID photo image by the print management unit 303. It will be printed on paper.

  If the server determines that the housing information of the photo sticker creation apparatus 1 that has been accessed and the store information managed by the server do not match, a receipt that does not include the store address and store name. Will be printed on sticker paper.

[Image layout for ID photo]
In the above description, the layout of the ID photo image printed on the sticker sheet may be selected by the user from a plurality of layouts prepared in advance. As shown in FIG. 61, a layout in which six ID photograph images are arranged in a horizontal row and printed on a sticker sheet may be prepared.

  With such a layout, the entire sticker paper can be formed in a horizontally long shape. For example, a user using a long wallet can carry a printed sticker paper together with a bill or the like. become. Furthermore, when the ID photo image printed on the sticker paper is cut out with scissors or the like, compared to the case where the ID photo image is arranged in 2 rows and 3 columns, the number of sections to be cut is reduced, and the cut is easier. be able to. As a layout, a layout may be prepared in which six ID photo images are arranged in a vertical row and printed on a sticker sheet.

  Furthermore, as one of a plurality of layouts prepared in advance, as shown in FIG. 62, the margin area at the edge of the seal paper on which the ID photo image is printed is used in the normal course editing process. A layout for printing the stamp image may be prepared. In the example of FIG. 62, a heart-shaped stamp image is printed in the area of the edge of the sticker paper.

  Note that the stamp image as shown in FIG. 62 is not arranged according to a layout prepared in advance. For example, in the adjustment screen shown in FIG. Similarly, an editing palette used for selecting various editing tools such as a stamp image is displayed, and the selected stamp image is a border region of the sticker paper in the print image 581 along the locus of the touch pen 132A or 132B. May be continuously synthesized.

  As described above, by designing the stamp image to be printed in the area of the edge of the sticker paper on which the ID photo image is printed, the design of the sticker paper as a whole can be improved.

  In the example of FIG. 62, it is assumed that the stamp image is printed in the area of the edge of the sticker paper on which the ID photo image is printed. It may be printed.

[Select background for ID photo image]
In the above, since the background color selected in the adjustment process is one, the background color of each of the six ID photograph images finally printed on the sticker paper is the same color. Therefore, by setting the number of background colors that can be selected in the adjustment process to be plural, the background color of each of the six ID photograph images printed on the sticker paper may be different. Good.

  For example, when two colors can be selected as the background color in the adjustment process, the background color of the three ID photo images among the 6 ID photo images that are finally printed on the sticker paper is set. One color can be used, and the background color of the other three ID photo images can be the other color. Thereby, for example, when there are two submission destinations of resumes, the user can obtain a background color ID photo according to the provisions of the respective submission destinations.

[Use of ID photo images]
In the above, the ID photo image is printed on the sticker paper, and downloaded to the user's mobile terminal by the mobile transmission function to be used for creating an electronic resume or reprinting the ID photo image. However, besides this, it may be used for a business card with a photo (photo business card).

  Specifically, in the ID photo course, before the printing process is started, for example, in the adjustment process, the button 591A is selected on the confirmation screen (FIG. 40) operated when selecting the use of the mobile transmission function. After that, the ID card image is trimmed to a predetermined size in accordance with the operation of the user, so that a photo card image is generated. In this case, the generated image for the photo business card is transmitted from the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 to the server and downloaded to the mobile terminal. The user can create a photo business card using the photo business card image downloaded to the mobile terminal.

  In the name input screen described with reference to FIG. 56, the user is prompted to input a name and information such as an address. In addition to the printer 241 for printing the business card, a printer capable of printing a business card is used to print the business card using the generated image for the business card and information such as the name and address input by the user. You may make it do.

[Applications on mobile devices]
In the above description, the ID photo image is downloaded from the server to the user's mobile terminal by the mobile transmission function. However, the application related to taking the ID photo image is transferred from the server to the user's mobile terminal. It may be downloaded.

  For example, pre-shooting guidance explaining how to shoot, which is output in the shooting process of the ID photo course, is displayed as an image or text for each use such as for history, application, passport, etc. The application to be output may be downloaded to the user's mobile terminal.

  As a result, the user can obtain the ID photo image suitable for the use without being confused by taking the photo at the ID photo course by checking the pre-shooting guidance in advance with the application. become.

  In addition, for example, an application that displays the position of a photo sticker creation device that can execute a series of processing of an ID photo course on the map using the GPS (Global Positioning System) function as a reference is downloaded. You may make it do.

  As a result, even if the ID photo is required suddenly, the user confirms the position of the photo sticker creation device that can perform a series of processing of the ID photo course, and the photo ID is created with the nearest photo sticker creation device. Can be taken.

  The modified examples described above can be applied in combination with each other, and can also be applied to the processing described below.

  By the way, in the above-described processing, it is assumed that the ID photo is taken regardless of whether the user has taken a photo.

  Therefore, in the following, a process for providing an ID photo to a user who has taken an ID photo in the past in the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 will be described.

<Provision example 1 of ID photo>
[Shooting process in ID photo course]
First, the photographing process in the ID photo course will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

  Note that the processes in steps S224 to S235 are the same as the processes in steps S21 to S32 described with reference to FIG.

  That is, in step S221, the display control unit 322 of the imaging management unit 301 displays a shooting experience confirmation screen for selecting whether or not there is shooting experience on the touch panel monitor 92.

  FIG. 64 is a diagram illustrating an example of a shooting experience confirmation screen.

  Above the shooting experience confirmation screen, a message “Do you have shooting experience?” Is displayed, and below that, a button 941A that is operated when there is shooting experience, and that is operated when there is no shooting experience. Button 941B is displayed.

  In step S222, the display control unit 322 determines whether or not it has been selected that the button 941A has been operated on the shooting experience confirmation screen to operate the button 941A.

  When the button 941A is operated and it is selected that there is a shooting experience, in step S223, the shooting management unit 301 determines whether there is a print history of the user's ID photo. For example, the imaging management unit 301 controls the display control unit 322 to display on the touch panel monitor 92 a sticker ID input screen that allows the user to input an ID (sticker ID) printed on sticker paper together with the ID photo image.

  FIG. 65 is a diagram showing an example of a seal ID input screen.

  In the upper part of the sticker ID input screen, a message “Please enter sticker ID” is displayed, and below that, a display field 961 for displaying the inputted sticker ID is provided. Below the display field 961, an input button 962 used for inputting alphabets and numbers is displayed. The user operates the input button 962 to input the sticker ID of the sticker paper that the user has.

  After a predetermined time has elapsed since the sticker ID input screen is displayed, the imaging management unit 301 determines whether there is a print history of sticker paper on which the input sticker ID is printed (printed). The print history of the sticker paper may be stored in the storage unit 202 of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 together with the ID photo image printed on the sticker paper, or stored in a server that performs portable transmission. You may do it.

  Here, the presence / absence of a print history within a predetermined period is determined. For example, it is determined whether or not there is a print history within the past three months from that day. Of course, the presence / absence of a print history in another period such as within the past one week may be determined in addition to the past three months.

  If it is determined that there is a print history within the predetermined period, the photographing management unit 301 supplies the input sticker ID to the image processing management unit 302, and the process proceeds to step S224.

  When it is determined that there is no print history within the specified period, or when there is no print history corresponding to the entered sticker ID, or when a prescribed time has elapsed since the sticker ID input screen was displayed If the correct seal ID is not input, nothing is done and the process proceeds to step S224.

  In step S222, when the button 941B is operated and it is selected that there is no shooting experience, step S223 is skipped, and the process proceeds to step S224.

[Adjustment process in ID photo course]
Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 66, description will be given of the adjustment process of the ID photo image when it is determined that there is a print history in the shooting process of FIG.

  Note that the processes in steps S241 to S249 and S251 to S253 are the same as the processes in steps S41 to S52 described with reference to FIG.

  That is, in step S250, the display control unit 332 of the image processing management unit 302 reads the ID photograph image corresponding to the seal ID from the storage unit 202 or the server using the seal ID supplied from the imaging management unit 301. An image comparison screen for displaying the acquired ID photograph image together with the adjusted photographed image is displayed on the tablet built-in monitor 131.

  FIG. 67 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image comparison screen.

  In the upper center of the image comparison screen, a message “Compare with previously printed image” is displayed. Below that, a photographed image 1011 printed as an ID photo image in the past (within a predetermined period) is displayed. The adjusted photographed image 1012 photographed this time is displayed side by side.

  The user selects a favorite photographed image by touching with the touch pen 132A or the touch pen 132B.

  Below the photographed images 1011 and 1012, an OK button 1013 that is operated when determining a photographed image to be used as an ID photograph image is displayed.

  FIG. 68 is a diagram showing an example of an image comparison screen in the case where there are a plurality of photographed images printed as ID photo images in the past.

  When there are two photographed images printed as ID photo images in the past, the user uses the image comparison screen in FIG. 68 to capture the photographed images 1011-1 and 1011-2 printed in the past and the current photographed image. One photographed image as an ID photo image is selected from the three photographed images 1012 after adjustment.

  Note that the number of photographed images that have been printed as ID photo images in the past and displayed together with the photographed image taken this time is not limited to the above-described number as long as there is a print history within a predetermined period.

  In the above description, both the captured image captured this time and the captured image printed in the past displayed on the image comparison screen are adjusted images. Also good.

  In this case, in step S241 in the flowchart of FIG. 66, the display control unit 332 of the image processing management unit 302 uses the seal ID supplied from the shooting management unit 301 before the captured image corresponding to the seal ID is adjusted. Are read out from the captured image storage unit 324 and acquired, and for example, four captured images obtained by the imaging process are read out and acquired from the captured image storage unit 324, and an image selection screen is displayed on the monitor 131 with built-in tablet. Let

  FIG. 69 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image selection screen.

  In the upper center of the image selection screen, a message “Compare with previously captured images” is displayed. Below that, the captured images 1021 captured in the past and the four captured images captured this time are displayed. 1022-1 to 1022-4 are displayed side by side.

  The user selects a favorite photographed image by touching with the touch pen 132A or the touch pen 132B.

  Below the photographed images 1021, 1022-1 to 1022-4, an OK button 1023 operated when determining a photographed image to be used as an ID photo image is displayed.

  In this way, the captured image captured this time and the captured image captured in the past are displayed side by side, so the user can compare the captured image captured this time with the ID photo captured in the past. Furthermore, it is possible to select an image for ID photo by selecting a favorite one. Accordingly, it is possible to provide the user with a sticker paper on which a preferred ID photo image is printed.

  In the above, the processing when a user who has taken ID photo in the past has taken a picture again has been explained. However, such a user can take a picture in the past without taking a picture. The ID photo can be printed again.

<Provision example 2 of ID photo>
[Seal creation game provision processing]
First, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 70, a description will be given of a sticker creation game providing process when reprinting an ID photo image printed in the past.

  Note that the processes in steps S301, S302, S304, S306, S307, S310, S312, and S313 are the same as the processes in steps S1 to S10 described with reference to FIG.

  That is, if the ID photo course selection button 404 is operated on the course selection screen of FIG. 19 and then the ID photo course is selected by operating the button 411A in the pop-up of FIG. The display control unit 322 displays a retouched course selection screen on the touch panel monitor 92 for selecting a course (reprinted course) for reprinting a captured image taken in the past (hereinafter referred to as reprinting).

  FIG. 71 is a diagram showing an example of the extra course selection screen.

  At the top of the extra course selection screen, a message “Do you want to extra?” Is displayed, and below that, a button 1111A that is operated when selecting an extra course, and an operation that is performed when no extra course is selected. Button 1111B is displayed.

  When the button 1111B is operated on the extra course selection screen and it is selected not to select the extra course, the process proceeds to step S304, and the ID photo course photographing process described above is performed.

  On the other hand, when the button 1111A is operated on the extra course selection screen and it is selected that the extra course is selected, in step S308, the imaging management unit 301 performs the extra preparation process in the extra course of the ID photo course.

  In step S309, the print management unit 303 performs a printing process in the extra printing course. Through this printing process, a photographed image that has been printed in the past as an ID photo image is reprinted (printed again).

[Preparation process for extra baking course]
Next, with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 72, the extra print preparation process in the extra print course performed in step S308 in FIG. 69 will be described.

  In step S331, the imaging management unit 301 determines whether or not there is a print history of the user ID photo. For example, the photographing management unit 301 controls the display control unit 322 and displays the sticker ID input screen on the touch panel monitor 92 in the same manner as step S223 in the flowchart of FIG. Determine presence or absence.

  If it is determined that there is a print history, the photographing management unit 301 supplies the input sticker ID to the print management unit 303, and the process proceeds to step S332.

  When it is determined that there is no print history, the display control unit 322 displays a message to that effect on the touch panel monitor 92, and the process returns to step S303, for example.

  In step S332, using the input seal ID, the display control unit 322 reads and acquires the ID photo image corresponding to the seal ID from the storage unit 202 or the server, and displays the acquired ID photo image. A reprint confirmation screen is displayed on the tablet built-in monitor 131.

  FIG. 73 is a diagram showing an example of the extra print confirmation screen.

  In the center of the reprint confirmation screen, an ID photo image 1151 corresponding to the seal ID printed in the past is displayed, and below this button is operated when it is determined to reprint the ID photo image 1151 1152 and a button 1153 operated to stop printing the ID photo image 1151 are displayed.

  FIG. 74 is a diagram showing an example of a reprint confirmation screen when there are a plurality of ID photo images printed in the past.

  When there are two (two types) of ID photo images printed in the past, the user uses the reprint confirmation screen of FIG. 74 to print the ID photo images 1051-1 and 1051-2 printed in the past. One ID photo image to be reprinted is selected and determined from the two ID photo images.

  If it is determined on the additional print confirmation screen that the additional print is determined, the process proceeds to step S333, and the display control unit 332 guides the user to move to the post-service area A3. The guidance for the movement to the post-service space A3 is performed by displaying a screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131 or by outputting sound from the speaker 231. Thereafter, the process returns to step S308 in FIG. 70, and the printing process in step S309 is performed. The printing process in step S309 is performed basically in the same manner as the ID photo course printing process described with reference to FIG.

  As described above, the ID photo printed in the past can be printed again.

  In the above, the ID photo image printed in the past is acquired from the storage unit 202 or the server in the photo sticker creating apparatus 1, but the ID photo image data is stored in the user's portable terminal. If downloaded, an ID photo image may be acquired from the portable terminal.

  Specifically, in the reprinting preparation process, the photographing management unit 301 acquires the ID photograph image by communicating with the portable terminal by a predetermined communication method such as infrared communication or non-contact communication. In this case as well, it is determined whether or not the ID photo image downloaded to the mobile terminal has been taken within a predetermined period.

  In the printing process in the extra printing course, the print medium on which the ID photo image is printed may be photographic paper instead of sticker paper.

  If the button 1153 is operated on the extra print confirmation screen and it is selected that the extra print is to be stopped, for example, the process returns to step S303.

  As described above, when it is determined to reprint in the reprinting preparation process in the reprinting course, the user skips the image processing space A2-1 or the image processing space A2-2 from the shooting space A1, and the post-service space. It moves to A3 and waits for the printing of the sticker paper to end.

  At this time, when another user is performing image processing in the image processing space A2-1 or the image processing space A2-2, the user who has finished the adjustment processing in the ID photo course or the editing processing in the normal course, It is necessary to prevent the user who has completed the re-preparation process from the re-enhancement course from matching in the post-service area A3.

  Therefore, in the following, the user who has completed the reprint preparation process in the reprint course and the user who has moved from the image processing space A2-1 or the image processing space A2-2 will not make a match in the post-service space A3. The process of making will be described.

[Adjustment process in ID photo course]
First, the adjustment process of the ID photo course will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  Note that the processes in steps S351 to S358 and S361 to S364 are the same as the processes in steps S41 to S52 described with reference to FIG.

  That is, in step S359, the image processing management unit 302 determines whether or not additional printing preparation processing is performed in the imaging space A1.

  If it is determined in step S359 that the extra print preparation process is being performed, in step S360, the display control unit 332 causes the tablet built-in monitor 131 to display a screen that does not accept the completion of adjustment.

  Specifically, the display control unit 332 stops the countdown of the remaining time of the adjustment process or increases the remaining time displayed on the upper right in the adjustment screen of FIG. By invalidating the operation on, the processing in steps S355 to S358 is forcibly repeated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S359 that the extra print preparation process has not been performed, the process proceeds to step S361.

  As described above, when the additional printing preparation process is performed in the imaging space A1, a screen that does not accept the end of adjustment is displayed so as to prevent the user from moving to the post-service area A3. Thereby, it is possible to avoid that the user who has completed the re-preparation process in the re-enhancement course and the user who has completed the adjustment process in the ID photo course make a match in the post-service space A3.

  In the above, the adjustment screen is displayed so as to prevent the user from moving to the post-service space, but whether or not to use the mobile transmission function displayed in step S362. On the confirmation screen or the introduction screen for the normal course displayed in step S363, a display that suppresses the movement of the user to the post-service space A3 may be performed.

[Adjustment process in normal course]
Next, the normal course adjustment process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  Note that the processes in steps S371 to S379 and S382 to S384 are the same as the processes in steps S121 to S132 described with reference to FIG.

  That is, in step S380, the image processing management unit 302 determines whether or not additional printing preparation processing is performed in the imaging space A1.

  If it is determined in step S380 that the extra print preparation process is being performed, in step S381, the display control unit 332 causes the tablet built-in monitor 131 to display a screen that does not accept editing completion.

  Specifically, the display control unit 332 stops the countdown of the remaining time of editing processing or increases the remaining time displayed on the upper center of the editing screen of FIG. , 826R is invalidated to forcibly repeat the processes in steps S378 and S379.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S380 that the extra print preparation process has not been performed, the process proceeds to step S382.

  As described above, in the shooting space A1, when the extra print preparation process is performed, a screen that does not accept the end of editing is displayed so as to prevent the user from moving to the subsequent customer service space. Thereby, it is possible to avoid that the user who has completed the reprint preparation process in the renewal course and the user who has finished the edit process in the normal course have a match in the post-service space A3.

  In the above description, the display is made so as to suppress the movement of the user to the subsequent customer service space A3 on the editing screen. However, the user subsequent customer service is displayed on the division number screen displayed in step S383. A display that suppresses the movement to the space A3 may be performed, or after the step S383, an introduction screen of the ID photo course is displayed, and on the introduction screen, the user's post-service space is displayed. Display may be performed so as to prevent the movement of.

[User movements]
Here, with reference to the timing charts of FIGS. 77 to 81, the movement of the user between the imaging space A1, the image processing space A2-1, A2-2, and the post-service space A3 will be described.

(First example)
The example of FIG. 77 shows the movement of the user when three groups of users (user 1, user 2, user 3) sequentially perform shooting processing (shooting 1, shooting 2, shooting 3). ing.

  In the following, the photographing process may be a photographing process of an ID photo course or a normal course, and the image process may be an adjustment process of the ID photo course. The normal course editing process may be used.

  When the shooting process (shooting 1) of the user 1 is completed at time t1, the user 1 moves to the image processing space A2-1 and starts image processing (image processing 1). In addition, the user 2 enters the shooting space A1 and starts the shooting process (shooting 2).

  At time t2, when the photographing process (photographing 2) of the user 2 is completed, the user 2 moves to the vacant image processing space A2-2 and starts the image processing (image processing 2). In addition, the user 3 enters the shooting space A1 and starts the shooting process (shooting 3).

  When the image processing (image processing 1) of the user 1 is completed at the time t3, the user 1 moves to the subsequent customer service space A3 and waits for the end of printing of the sticker paper (printing 1). At this time, the image processing space A2-1 becomes empty.

  When the photographing process (photographing 3) of the user 3 is completed at the time t4, the user 3 moves to the image processing space A2-1 that is free due to the movement of the user 1, and starts the image processing (image processing 3). To do.

  At time t5, the sticker paper printing (print 1) is completed, and the post-service space A3 becomes empty.

  When the image processing (image processing 2) of the user 2 is completed at time t6, the user 2 moves to the vacant customer service space A3 when printing 1 is completed, and prints the sticker paper (printing 2). Wait for the end.

  At time t7, the sticker paper printing (printing 2) ends, and the post-service space A3 becomes empty.

  At time t8, when the image processing (image processing 3) of the user 3 is completed, the user 3 moves to the vacant after-service space A3 when the printing 2 is completed, and prints the sticker paper (printing 3). Wait for the end.

  At time t9, the sticker paper printing (printing 3) ends.

  As described above, when three groups of users perform shooting processing in order, different groups of users do not face each other in the post-service space A3.

(Second example)
In the example of FIG. 78, three sets of users (user 1, user 2, user 3) sequentially perform a reprint preparation process, a photographing process, and a photographing process (reprinting 1, photographing 2, photographing 3). Shows the user's movements.

  At time t11, when the extra print preparation process (extra extra 1) of the user 1 is completed, the user 1 moves to the subsequent customer service space A3 and waits for the end of printing of the sticker (print 1). In addition, the user 2 enters the shooting space A1 and starts the shooting process (shooting 2).

  At time t12, the printing of the sticker paper (printing 1) is completed, and the subsequent customer service space A3 becomes empty.

  When the photographing process (photographing 2) of the user 2 is completed at time t13, the user 2 moves to the image processing space A2-1 and starts the image processing (image processing 2). In addition, the user 3 enters the shooting space A1 and starts the shooting process (shooting 3).

  When the photographing process (photographing 3) of the user 3 is completed at time t14, the user 3 moves to the vacant image processing space A2-2 and starts the image processing (image processing 3).

  When the image processing (image processing 2) of the user 2 is completed at time t15, the user 2 moves to the vacant customer service space A3 after the completion of the printing 1, and prints the sticker paper (printing 2). Wait for the end.

  At time t16, sticker paper printing (printing 2) ends, and the post-service space A3 becomes empty.

  At the time t17, when the image processing (image processing 3) of the user 3 is completed, the user 3 moves to the post-service space A3, which is vacated by the completion of the printing 2, and prints the sticker paper (printing 3). Wait for the end.

  At time t18, the sticker paper printing (printing 3) ends.

  In this way, even when three groups of users perform the reprint preparation process, the shooting process, and the shooting process in order, different groups of users do not make adjustments in the post-service area A3.

(Third example)
In the example of FIG. 79, three sets of users (user 1, user 2, user 3) perform shooting processing, additional print preparation processing, and shooting processing (shooting 1, extra printing 2, shooting 3) in order. Shows the user's movements.

  When the photographing process (photographing 1) of the user 1 is completed at time t21, the user 1 moves to the image processing space A2-1 and starts the image processing (image processing 1). In addition, the user 2 enters the photographing space A1 and starts the extra print preparation process (extra print 1).

  At time t22, when the extra print preparation process (extra print 2) of the user 2 is completed, the user 2 moves to the post-service area A3 and waits for the end of printing of the sticker (print 2). In addition, the user 3 enters the shooting space A1 and starts the shooting process (shooting 3).

  At time t23, the sticker paper printing (printing 2) is completed, and the post-service space A3 becomes empty.

  When the photographing process (photographing 3) of the user 3 is completed at time t24, the user 3 moves to the vacant image processing space A2-2 and starts the image processing (image processing 3).

  When the image processing (image processing 1) of the user 1 is completed at time t25, the user 1 moves to the post-service space A3 vacated by the completion of the printing 2, and prints the sticker paper (printing 1). Wait for the end.

  At time t26, the sticker paper printing (print 1) is completed, and the post-service space A3 becomes empty.

  At time t27, when the image processing (image processing 3) of the user 3 is completed, the user 3 moves to the post-service space A3 that is vacated by the completion of the printing 2, and prints the sticker paper (printing 3). Wait for the end.

  At time t28, the sticker paper printing (printing 3) ends.

  As described above, even when three groups of users perform the shooting process, the extra print preparation process, and the shooting process in order, different groups of users do not make adjustments in the post-service area A3.

(Fourth example)
In the example of FIG. 80, three sets of users (user 1, user 2, user 3) sequentially perform shooting processing, shooting processing, and additional print preparation processing (shooting 1, shooting 2, and additional printing 3). Shows the user's movements.

  When the shooting process (shooting 1) of the user 1 ends at time t31, the user 1 moves to the image processing space A2-1 and starts the image processing (image processing 1). In addition, the user 2 enters the shooting space A1 and starts the shooting process (shooting 2).

  At time t32, when the photographing process (photographing 2) of the user 2 is completed, the user 2 moves to the vacant image processing space A2-2 and starts the image processing (image processing 2). In addition, the user 3 enters the photographing space A1 and starts the extra print preparation process (extra print 3).

  At time t <b> 33, when the extra print preparation process (extra extra 3) of the user 3 is completed, the user 3 moves to the subsequent customer service space A <b> 3 and waits for the end of printing of the sticker (print 3).

  Immediately after that, at time t34, when the image processing (image processing 1) of the user 1 is completed, the user 1 moves to the post-service space A3 and waits for the end of the printing of the sticker paper (printing 1). However, at this time, in the post-service space A3, the user 3 who has finished the extra print preparation process (print extra 3) is waiting for the end of the printing of the sticker (print 3).

  As described above, when three groups of users sequentially perform the shooting process, the shooting process, and the additional print preparation process, different groups of users end up in the post-service area A3.

  Thus, as described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 75 and 76, in the ID photo course adjustment process and the normal course editing process, the additional printing preparation process is performed in the photographing space A1, and different sets of users are used. In the case where each other makes a match in the post-service space A3, the movement of the users in the image processing space A2-1 and the image processing space A2-2 to the post-service space is suppressed.

(Fifth example)
In the example of FIG. 81, as with the example of FIG. 80, three sets of users (user 1, user 2, and user 3) sequentially perform shooting processing, shooting processing, and additional print preparation processing (shooting 1, shooting 2). The movement of the user in the case of performing the additional heating 3) is shown.

  When the shooting process (shooting 1) of the user 1 is completed at time t41, the user 1 moves to the image processing space A2-1 and starts image processing (image processing 1). In addition, the user 2 enters the shooting space A1 and starts the shooting process (shooting 2).

  When the photographing process (photographing 2) of the user 2 is completed at time t42, the user 2 moves to the vacant image processing space A2-2 and starts the image processing (image processing 2). In addition, the user 3 enters the photographing space A1 and starts the extra print preparation process (extra print 3).

  At this time, the image processing management unit 302 that controls the image processing unit 209A, for example, performs image processing (image processing) performed in the image processing space A2-1 at the time t42 when the additional printing preparation processing (printing increase 3) is started. It is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since time t41 at which the process 11) was started.

  When it is determined that the time at which the increase 3 is started has passed a predetermined time or more from the time at which the image processing 1 is started, the image processing management unit 302 refers to the flowcharts of FIGS. 75 and 76. The processing time of the image processing 1 performed in the image processing space A2-1 is extended by the time T by performing the adjustment processing of the ID photo course described above or the editing processing of the normal course.

  At this time, the processing time of the image processing 2 performed in the image processing space A2-2 is similarly extended by the time T.

  At time t43, when the extra print preparation process (extra print 3) of the user 3 is completed, the user 3 moves to the post-service area A3 and waits for the end of the printing of the sticker paper (print 3).

  At time t44, the sticker paper printing (printing 3) is completed, and the post-service space A3 becomes empty.

  After that, at time t45, when the image processing (image processing 1) of the user 1 extended by the time T is completed, the user 1 moves to the vacant after-service space A3 when the printing 3 is completed, and the seal Wait for the end of paper printing (print 1).

  At time t46, the sticker paper printing (print 1) ends, and the post-service space A3 becomes empty.

  At the time t47, when the image processing (image processing 2) of the user 2 extended by the time T is completed, the user 2 moves to the free customer service space A3 after the printing 1 is completed, and the sticker paper Wait for the end of printing (printing 2).

  At time t48, the sticker paper printing (printing 2) ends.

  As described above, even when the three groups of users perform the photographing process, the photographing process, and the additional print preparation process in order, the ID photo course adjustment process or the normal course described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. By performing this editing process, it is possible to avoid different groups of users from colliding with each other in the post-service area A3, and it is possible to perform reprinting without confusing the users.

  In the above, reprinting is performed by selecting the extra printing course, but a sticker sheet printed in the ID photo course may be additionally printed.

  For example, in the process of the ID photo course with the coin insertion / return port provided in the image processing unit 209A and the image processing unit 209B, when the insertion of a coin into the coin insertion / return port is detected, the coin is inserted. The number of sticker sheets corresponding to the amount of money is additionally printed.

  By the way, as described above, the ID photo image is printed on the sticker paper and is provided to the mobile terminal owned by the user by the mobile transmission function.

CV data is created, for example, in PDF format using the ID photo image and input information (user name) and input information (address, date of birth, etc.) from the portable terminal 1202.

  The created resume data is stored in the storage unit 1218 in association with the ID photo image by the user ID. In addition, the resume data stored in the storage unit 1218 is converted into data for printing and transmitted to the portable terminal 1202 or transmitted to the job site server 1301 in response to a request from the portable terminal 1202.

  The resume data transmitted to the job site server 1301 is transmitted to a company providing job information to the job site as necessary. In general, the size of the ID photo attached to the resume is as follows. , Depending on the destination and usage.

  Therefore, the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 generates a plurality of ID photo images of different sizes from one ID photo image, and transmits them to the server 1201. The resume creating unit 1403 of the server 1201 The resume data may be created using an ID photo image having a size corresponding to the destination of the certificate data.

  FIG. 89 is an example of an electronic resume created using ID photo images of different sizes.

  In the electronic resume 1421 shown in FIG. 89A, the ID photo image 1431 having a vertical: horizontal ratio of 4: 3 is arranged, whereas in the electronic resume 1422 shown in FIG. 89B, the vertical: horizontal An ID photo image 1432 having a ratio of 1: 1 is arranged.

  In this way, an electronic resume in which an ID photo image having a size corresponding to the submission destination is arranged can be transmitted to the company.

  Further, as described above, since a plurality of ID photo images can be stored for one user in the storage unit 1218, the proof used for resume data once created. The photograph image may be changed to another ID photograph image.

[Change of ID photo image]
A process for changing the ID photo image used in the resume data will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

  In step S551, when the mobile terminal 1202 accesses the server 1201 based on the URL of the resume creation site, in step S571, the server 1201 authenticates the user of the mobile terminal 1202 based on the access.

  In step S552, when the portable terminal 1202 requests to change the ID photo image used in the already created electronic resume in response to the operation by the user, in step S572, the server 1201 receives the request. To do.

  In step S573, the web page providing unit 1402 of the server 1201 displays a selection form for selecting any one of the plurality of ID photograph images stored in association with the authenticated user ID. To 1202.

  When the portable terminal 1202 receives the selection form from the server 1201 in step S553, the portable terminal 1202 displays the selection form in step S554 and accepts the selection of the ID photo image. In step S555, the mobile terminal 1202 transmits selection information representing the selected ID photograph image to the server 1201.

  In step S574, when the server 1201 receives selection information from the mobile terminal 1202, in step S575, the resume creation unit 1403 uses the resume data stored in association with the authenticated user ID. The displayed ID photo image is changed to an ID photo image represented by the selection information.

  As described above, the ID photo image used in the resume data once created can be changed to another ID photo image.

  By the way, in recent years, in the audition of a model or a talent, an applicant submits a moving image of himself / herself who is performing PR in addition to submitting a resume with an ID photo.

  Therefore, in the following, an example will be described in which a moving image is captured in addition to a still image, and the obtained still image and moving image are used for creating an electronic resume as an ID photo image.

[Shooting process in ID photo course]
First, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 91, the photographing process in the ID photo course in which a moving image is photographed according to the usage of the user will be described.

  Note that the processes in steps S612 to S620 and S623 to S625 are the same as the processes in steps S21 to S32 described with reference to FIG.

  That is, in step S611, the display control unit 322 of the photographing management unit 301 displays a usage selection screen for selecting the usage of the ID photo on the touch panel monitor 92.

  FIG. 92 is a diagram showing an example of the usage selection screen.

  At the top of the usage selection screen, a message “Please select a usage” is displayed. Below that, a button 1511 operated when the usage of the ID photo is for a resume, and the usage of the ID photo is for taking an examination. A button 1512 operated when the ID photo is used, a button 1513 operated when the ID photo is used for audition, and a button 1514 operated when the ID photo is used for matching. Is displayed.

  Among the applications selected by the buttons 1511 to 1514, a still image is required as an ID photo for resumes, examinations, and matches, and a moving image in addition to a still image is used as an ID photo for audition. Shall be required.

  In addition, when the button 1511 is operated on the usage selection screen, that is, when the resume is selected as the usage, the display control unit 322 selects the type of business to classify the resume submission destination as the usage of the ID photo. The industry type selection screen for causing the user to make the display may be displayed on the touch panel monitor 92.

  FIG. 93 is a diagram showing an example of an industry type selection screen.

  At the top of the industry selection screen, the message “Please select your industry” is displayed, and below that, it is operated when the industry to which the ID photo is submitted is finance or civil servant (“finance / public servant”) Button 1591, button 1592 operated when the business category of the ID photo submission destination is a trading company or service industry (“trading company / service”), and the business category (job category) of the ID photo submission destination is an airline company (cabin attendant) ) Or a television station (announcer) (“airline announcer”), a button 1593 operated is displayed.

  Among the industries selected by the buttons 1591 to 1593, “Finance / Public Employees” and “Trading Companies / Services” require a still image as an ID photo, and “Airline Announcer” has a still image as an ID photo. In addition, it is assumed that a moving image is required.

  When four still images have been shot after step S611, in step S621, the shooting management unit 301 determines whether or not a usage for shooting a moving image has been selected by an operation on the usage selection screen of the user. Determine.

  If it is determined in step S621 that a use for capturing a moving image has been selected, that is, whether the audition is selected as a use by operating the button 1513 on the use selection screen, Alternatively, when an airline announcer is selected as a business type by operating the button 1593 on the business type selection screen by the user, the guidance output control unit 321 outputs the pre-shooting guidance for the moving image and performs processing. Advances to step S622.

  In step S622, the camera control unit 323 captures a moving image. The camera control unit 323 outputs the moving image obtained by shooting to the shot image storage unit 324 for storage.

  In this way, in the photo sticker creating apparatus 1, a moving image obtained in addition to a still image is transmitted to the server 1201 as an ID photo image depending on the application or type of business.

  In this case, in the storage unit 1218 of the server 1201, as shown in FIG. 94, in addition to the still picture ID photo image 1411 and the resume data 1412, a moving image is added according to an ID assigned to each user. 1601 is stored in association with each other.

  Specifically, in step S535 in the flowchart of FIG. 88, the resume creation unit 1403 stores the ID photograph image (still image and moving image) stored in the storage unit 1218 in association with the authenticated user ID. Image) and input information and input information from the portable terminal 1202 are used to create resume data. The created resume data is stored in the storage unit 1218 in association with the ID photograph image (still image and moving image) by the user ID.

  FIG. 95 is a diagram showing an example of an electronic resume created using still images and moving images as ID photo images.

  The electronic resume 1621 shown in FIG. 95A is assumed to be displayed, for example, on a computer of a company providing job information to a job site. In the electronic resume 1621, a moving image playback button 1632 is arranged together with an ID photo image 1631 which is a still image.

  For example, when a moving image playback button 1632 is selected by a recruiter who operates a company computer or the like, a media player (moving image playback application software) 1641 installed on the computer is activated and a moving image is played back. It is made like that.

  As described above, it is possible to create an electronic resume that suits the purpose more easily by using moving images in addition to still images. For example, applicants who audition for models and talents are more clear And can be self-promoted.

  In the above, the resume creation unit 1403 creates resume data using still images, moving images, and input information as ID photo images. Only an image may be used.

  By the way, for example, for a user who is not in the game of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1, it takes time to make adjustments in the adjustment process in the ID photo course, and the desired adjustment is performed within a preset time limit. You may not be able to.

<Adjustment from mobile device>
Therefore, the ID photo image may be adjusted by the user operating the mobile terminal 1202 with respect to the ID photo image transmitted to the server 1201 by the mobile transmission function. .

[Adjustment processing on the server]
With reference to the flowchart in FIG. 96, processing for adjusting the ID photo image in the server 1201 will be described.

  In step S651, when the mobile terminal 1202 accesses the server 1201 based on the URL of the site where the ID photo image can be browsed, in step S671, the server 1201 determines the user of the mobile terminal 1202 based on the access. Certify.

  In step S652, when the portable terminal 1202 requests adjustment of the ID photo image already transmitted to the server 1201 in response to an operation by the user, in step S672, the server 1201 receives the request.

  In step S <b> 673, the web page providing unit 1402 of the server 1201 transmits an adjustment screen for adjusting the ID photo image stored in association with the authenticated user ID to the portable terminal 1202.

  When the mobile terminal 1202 receives the adjustment screen from the server 1201 in step S653, the mobile terminal 1202 displays the adjustment screen in step S654 and accepts the adjustment of the ID photo image.

  FIG. 97 shows an example of an adjustment screen displayed on the display unit 1255 of the mobile terminal 1202.

  The configuration of the adjustment screen displayed on the mobile terminal 1202 is basically the same as the configuration of the adjustment screen described with reference to FIG. 31, but the rest as displayed at the upper right of the adjustment screen in FIG. 31. The time is not displayed. That is, the user can make a desired adjustment without worrying about the remaining time.

  In this way, when the user performs an adjustment operation on the mobile terminal 1202, the mobile terminal 1202 transmits information representing the adjustment content to the server 1201 in step S655.

  In step S674, when the server 1201 receives the information indicating the adjustment content from the portable terminal 1202, in step S675, the data management unit 1401 stores the information in association with the authenticated user ID based on the information. Adjust the ID photo image.

  Then, when the user performs an operation to end the adjustment on the mobile terminal 1202, the mobile terminal 1202 transmits an adjustment end instruction to the server 1201 in step S675.

  In step S676, the data management unit 1401 stores the adjusted ID photograph image in the storage unit 1218 in response to an instruction from the portable terminal 1202.

  According to the above processing, even when the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 cannot perform the desired adjustment, the user can perform the desired adjustment without worrying about the remaining time. .

  It should be noted that the ID photo image to be adjusted may be an image that has already been subjected to some adjustment, or may be an image that has not been adjusted at all. Particularly in the latter case, the adjustment process can be omitted in the photo sticker creating apparatus 1, so that the working time in the photo sticker producing apparatus 1 can be shortened.

  Further, the ID photo image adjusted by the operation on the portable terminal may be printed from a printer at the user's home or the like. Specifically, the adjusted ID photo image data is downloaded to the mobile terminal 1202, and communication is performed between the mobile terminal 1202 and the printer using a predetermined communication method, thereby enabling the ID photo image. Will be printed from the printer.

  Furthermore, the ID photo image adjusted by the operation on the mobile terminal may be printed from a dedicated printer installed in a convenience store in the city. In this case, the ID photo image data downloaded to the portable terminal 1202 is transmitted by attaching to an e-mail or the like to a management server that manages the dedicated printer by a predetermined application. To a dedicated printer installed closest to the current location. At this time, the e-mail transmitted from the mobile terminal 1202 to the management server includes the location information of the mobile terminal 1202 based on, for example, GPS, and the management server uses the location information of the mobile terminal 1202 based on the location information. The map information of the dedicated printer installed at the position closest to the position is returned to the portable terminal 1202.

  Note that the ID photograph image stored in the storage unit 1218 as described above may be compared with the image captured this time as an image captured in the past, It can be used as an image arranged in an electronic resume.

<Screen display of mobile terminal>
As described above, the user can browse the ID photo image on the site accessed by operating the mobile terminal 1202. Therefore, in the following, functions related to the ID photo image provided by the server 1201 will be described with reference to the screen display of the portable terminal 1202.
