Further, the disk device 15 stores content data to be presented to the user during the print waiting time, such as questionnaire data, game data, and advertisement data.

  The questionnaire is, for example, a question survey about a function required for the image printing apparatus M, a request for a store where the image printing apparatus M is installed, and an image of a camera manufacturer's new product.

  The required time is preset for each content. For example, a response time T1 is set for the questionnaire, a clear time T2 is set for the game, and a playback time T3 is set for the advertisement. The disk device 15 may store a plurality of types of data for each of questionnaire data, game data, and advertisement data. The disk device 15 is a hard disk drive, for example.

  The CPU 14 loads the image processing program in the disk device 15 into the main memory 16 and executes the image processing program. As the image processing program is executed, an area for storing input image data, order contents, and the like is secured in the main memory 16.

  The CPU 14 functions as a control unit 140 that controls the touch panel 10, the charging unit 12, and the printer 13 by loading a control program in the disk device 15 into the main memory 16 and executing the control program.

  When image data is input from a storage medium or a portable terminal via the data input unit 11, the control unit 140 displays a thumbnail image obtained by reducing the image data on the touch panel 10. In addition to the thumbnail image, the touch panel 10 is provided with an edit button and a print number increase / decrease button for designating the number of prints. When the user presses the edit button, the display on the touch panel 10 is switched to an edit screen so that image data can be edited and combined, such as adding frames and stamps and writing handwritten characters. The user can specify the number of prints of each image by pressing the print number increase / decrease button.

  When the user operates the touch panel 10 to place a print order including image selection, editing, and input of the number of prints, the control unit 140 receives the print order. The control unit 140 controls the printer 13 to print out the image data based on the print order.

  Based on the print order, the control unit 140 calculates the estimated print time (print waiting time for the user) required for printing the image data, and displays content on the touch panel 10 that has a shorter required time than the calculated estimated print time. The estimated print time is calculated using the order quantity, the number of operating printers 13, the generation time of print image data, and the like. When there are a plurality of contents (display candidates) whose required time is shorter than the estimated print time, the control unit 140 displays a content selection screen on the touch panel 10 and displays the content selected by the user.

  For example, when the estimated print time is longer than the questionnaire response required time T1 and shorter than the game clear required time T2 and the advertisement reproduction time T3, the control unit 140 causes the touch panel 10 to display the questionnaire.

  For example, when the estimated print time is longer than the questionnaire response required time T1, the game clear required time T2, and the advertisement reproduction time T3, the control unit 140 performs a questionnaire, a game, or an advertisement on the touch panel 10. A content selection screen for selecting whether or not to view is displayed, and the selected content is displayed to the user.

  When there are a plurality of display candidates, the content type selection screen D1 is first displayed as shown in FIG. 4A, and after the type of content is selected, the game selection as shown in FIGS. 4B to 4D is performed. The screen D2, the questionnaire selection screen D3, or the advertisement selection screen D4 is displayed, and the selection of content is accepted.

  When the game is finished before the image data is printed, the same game may be repeated, or the game selection screen D2 or the content type selection screen D1 may be returned. When the questionnaire is completed before the printing of the image data is completed, the screen may return to the questionnaire selection screen D3 or may return to the content type selection screen D1. When the advertisement ends before the printing of the image data is completed, the same advertisement may be repeated, or the advertisement selection screen D4 or the content type selection screen D1 may be returned. When returning to the selection screens D1 to D4, the control unit 140 obtains the remaining print time obtained by subtracting the elapsed time from the estimated print time, determines the display candidate by comparing the remaining print time and the required time of each content, and selects Screens D1 to D4 may be created.

  With the completion of the printing of the image data, the content presentation is also terminated. However, the questionnaire may not be ended, and the answer to the questionnaire may be continued even after the printing is completed.

  When the user answers the questionnaire, the control unit 140 stores the answer result in the storage means (the disk device 15 or the main memory 16).

  After the questionnaire is completed, the image printing apparatus M may issue a coupon ticket. For example, when answering a questionnaire about a request for a store where the image printing apparatus M is installed, a discount coupon usable at the store is issued. The coupon ticket may be issued by a receipt issuing unit of the charging unit 12 or may be printed out by the printer 13. The content type selection screen D1 or the questionnaire selection screen D3 displayed on the touch panel 10 may display that a coupon is issued by answering the questionnaire.

  The communication unit 17 transmits the questionnaire result stored in the storage unit to the server S. The communication unit 17 may periodically transmit log data such as a sales log of the image printing apparatus M to the server S, and may transmit a questionnaire result together with the log data. Or the communication part 17 may transmit to the server S promptly, if a questionnaire result is obtained.

  The communication unit 17 receives the questionnaire data distributed from the server S. The control unit 140 stores the questionnaire data received by the communication unit 17 in the disk device 15 and updates the contents of the questionnaire. The communication unit 17 may receive game data and advertisement data for updating the game and advertisement from the server S.

  Thus, according to this embodiment, a questionnaire is conducted to the user during the print waiting time, and a questionnaire response is accepted. By collecting the accepted questionnaire results by the server S, useful information can be collected.

  (Step S106) The control unit 140 causes the printer 13 to print image data based on the order contents. Further, the control unit 140 calculates an estimated print time required for printing the image data.

  (Step S107) The control unit 140 searches the content stored in the disk device 15 for display candidate content whose required time is equal to or shorter than the estimated print time calculated in step S106. If there is display candidate content, the process proceeds to step S109, and if not, the process proceeds to step S108.

  (Step S108) A predetermined screen is displayed on the touch panel 10. For example, a print processing progress bar is displayed on the touch panel 10 together with characters “printing”.

  (Step S109) If there are a plurality of display candidate contents, the process proceeds to step S110, and if there is one, the process proceeds to step S111.

  (Step S110) The touch panel 10 displays a content type selection screen D1, a game selection screen D2, a questionnaire selection screen D3, an advertisement selection screen D4, and the like as shown in FIGS. The user operates the touch panel 10 to select content.

  (Step S111) If the content to be displayed is a questionnaire, the process proceeds to Step S112. If the content to be displayed is other than the questionnaire, the process proceeds to S115.

  (Step S112) The controller 140 causes the touch panel 10 to display a questionnaire screen as shown in FIG.

  (Step S113) The control unit 140 determines whether all printing has been completed. If the printing is completed, the process proceeds to step S114. If the printing is not completed, the printing is continued. If there are unanswered questions in the questionnaire, it may be possible to continue answering the questionnaire even after printing is completed. Thereby, a complete questionnaire response result can be obtained.

  (Step S114) The communication unit 17 transmits the questionnaire response result to the server S. The questionnaire response result may be transmitted to the server S together with the log data periodically or every time a predetermined number of questionnaire response results are obtained.

  (Step S <b> 115) The control unit 140 displays a game screen or an advertisement screen on the touch panel 10. For example, a game screen as shown in FIG. 6B or an advertisement screen as shown in FIG. 6C is displayed on the touch panel 10.

  (Step S116) The controller 140 determines whether or not all printing has been completed. If the printing is completed, the process is terminated. If the printing is not completed, the printing is continued.

  As described above, the image printing apparatus according to the present embodiment collects useful information by presenting a questionnaire to the user during the print waiting time and receiving a questionnaire response. Therefore, the print waiting time can be effectively used. In addition, by issuing a coupon using the print function of the image printing apparatus M in response to a questionnaire, more users can be guided to the questionnaire and a large amount of information can be collected.

However, the content to be presented is not limited to this, and four or more types of content can be selected. Also good. Alternatively, only a questionnaire may be presented, or two types of content may be selected by omitting either game or advertisement viewing.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the user can select content when there are a plurality of contents whose required time is shorter than the estimated print time has been described, but the control unit 140 may select the content. For example, the control unit 140 assigns priorities in the order of questionnaire> advertisement> game, and selects content with the highest priority. In this way, by automatically selecting content on the image printing apparatus M side, it is possible to omit the time for the user to consider which content to select and use the print waiting time more effectively.

<Second Embodiment>
FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view of an image printing apparatus according to the second embodiment. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 in that the image printing apparatus M2 has a touch panel not only on the top of the housing 1 but also on the top plate 1A.

  In the present embodiment, a touch panel located on the user's hand side provided on the top plate 1A portion is referred to as a first touch panel 10A, and a touch panel provided on the top of the housing 1 is referred to as a second touch panel 10B. To facilitate the input operation to the first touch panel 10A, the screens of the top board 1A and the first touch panel 10A are slightly inclined so that the front side is low and the back side is high. The size of the first touch panel 10A and the size of the second touch panel 10B are approximately the same. Display control of the first touch panel 10 </ b> A and the second touch panel 10 </ b> B is performed by the control unit 140. In FIG. 7, the same parts as those of the first embodiment shown in FIG.

  The first touch panel 10A displays the same screen as the touch panel 10 of the first embodiment. The second touch panel 10B displays an advertisement or a questionnaire as standby processing while waiting for an order. Here, “waiting for an order” means waiting for the image printing apparatus M2 until the next user inputs image data to the data input unit 11 after the previous user's printing is completed.

  When the second touch panel 10B displays a questionnaire, a questionnaire start button is provided in the screen. When the user presses the questionnaire start button, the control unit 140 displays a questionnaire screen on the second touch panel 10 </ b> B using the questionnaire data stored in the disk device 15. When the user operates the second touch panel 10B and answers the questionnaire, the control unit 140 stores the answer result in the storage means (the disk device 15 or the main memory 16).

  During order waiting, the first touch panel 10A selects an image data input method (for example, use of a storage medium, infrared communication from a portable terminal, or wireless communication from a smartphone) as the order waiting screen. Display the screen to be used. When the user selects the image data input method, the standby process ends, and the advertisement display and the questionnaire display on the second touch panel 10B end.

  In the first embodiment, the questionnaire is executed during the printing of the image data. In this embodiment, the questionnaire is executed not only during the printing but also during the waiting for the order to collect more information. . Therefore, not only the print waiting time but also the order waiting time can be effectively utilized.

  In addition, the second touch panel 10B is provided in the upper part of the housing 1, and the display screen is standing substantially vertically. Therefore, it is easy to see for passers-by who are in the vicinity of the place where the image printing apparatus M2 is installed, and by displaying that the questionnaire is being conducted on the second touch panel 10B, more people are guided to the questionnaire and more information is obtained. Can be collected.

  The first touch panel 10A is installed on the near side of the user, and the screen is inclined. By displaying the thumbnail image on the first touch panel 10A, the image input to the image printing apparatus M2 becomes difficult to be seen by a passerby, and the privacy of the user can be taken into consideration. Users can relax and place print orders without worrying about the eyes of passers-by.

  Even in the configuration in which the image printing apparatus has only one touch panel as in the first embodiment, a questionnaire may be performed while waiting for an order. In this case, the touch panel 10 displays a button for returning to the order waiting screen (image data input method selection screen) in the questionnaire screen in which the order is waiting.

  In the first and second embodiments described above, the image printing apparatus that includes the printer 13 in the housing 1 and outputs the printed matter on the spot has been described. However, the order for receiving the print order by omitting the printer 13 is described. It may be a reception terminal. In this case, the communication unit 17 transmits the image data for which the print order has been placed and the order contents to the server S or another server. The user receives the printed matter by mail or the like. The order standby terminal displays content such as games, questionnaires, advertisements, etc. during the transmission of the print ordered image data and order details. Alternatively, the data transmission time may be calculated based on the order details, the content whose required time is less than or equal to the data transmission time may be searched to determine display candidates, and the content selection screen may be displayed.

  In the second embodiment, the configuration including the two touch panels arranged above and below the first touch panel 10A and the second touch panel 10B has been described. However, the display area of one large touch panel is divided into two parts, and the lower side is The first touch panel 10A and the upper side may function as the second touch panel 10B. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a large touch panel 10C is provided on a flat inclined surface of a top plate 1B extending from the top of the housing 1 to the user's hand, and the upper and lower sides of the touch panel 10C are individually displayed. Control. In this case, the data input unit 11 is provided on the front side of the housing 1, for example. Alternatively, the display area of the horizontally long large touch panel may be divided into left and right so that one functions as the first touch panel 10A and the other functions as the second touch panel 10B.

  In the said 1st and 2nd embodiment, according to the image data input method to the data input part 11, you may change the questionnaire item to be implemented and the advertisement to show. For example, when image data is input using an SD card, a questionnaire or advertisement for a compact digital camera is presented. This is because SD cards are often used in compact digital cameras, and users are considered to be interested in compact digital cameras. When image data is input from a smartphone, an advertisement related to the new smartphone is displayed. Thus, by determining the content to be presented to the user based on the image data input method, it is possible to present the content that the user is more interested in, and the user can reduce the print data waiting time without stress. I can spend it.

  In addition, the control unit 140 may measure an operation time required for selecting an image to be printed (order operation) and select content to be presented according to the measurement result. When the operation time is short, it is considered that the user is accustomed to the operation of the image printing apparatus. Therefore, the control unit 140 selects a questionnaire about more detailed functions of the image printing apparatus or a highly difficult game as the presented content. On the other hand, when the operation time is long, it is considered that the user is unfamiliar with the operation of the image printing apparatus. Therefore, the control unit 140 selects a simple questionnaire regarding image printing or a game with a low difficulty level as the content to be presented. Thus, by presenting content according to the operation speed of the user, the user can enjoy content that matches his / her level.

  The disk device 15 may store a table associating content selection conditions including print estimation time, operation time, and image data input method for each content as shown in FIG. The control unit 140 determines display candidate content based on the content selection condition, and displays a content selection screen.

  For example, when the estimated print time is 5 minutes, the operation time is 3 minutes, and the image data input method is infrared communication, the control unit 140 refers to the table shown in FIG. 3) Display the content selection screen with “advertisement k” as a display candidate. Thus, by determining the display candidate content from the estimated print time, operation time, and image data input method, it is possible to display content more suitable for the user while waiting for printing.
