Then, the control program 65 determines that the print icon 89 has been tapped according to the position information in the print icon 89 (S37: print icon) (S38). Further, the control program 65 determines that the save icon 90 has been tapped according to the position information being in the save icon 90 (S37: save icon) (S39).

Returning to FIG. 3, the control program 65 acquires component data indicating a component image to be synthesized in the component area in response to the tapping of the component area (S15: component area) (S16). Next, the control program 65 converts the format of the component image according to the determination that it is necessary to change the format of the component image indicated by the component data acquired in step S16 (S17: Yes) (S17: Yes). S18). On the other hand, the control program 65 skips step S18 in response to the determination that it is not necessary to change the format of the component image (S17: No). The process of step S16 is an example of the second acquisition process, and the process of step S18 is an example of the conversion process. The process of step S19 will be described in Modification 1 described later.

A plurality of data acquisition sources capable of acquiring component data are preset in the mobile terminal 50. The data acquisition source is not limited to the storage unit in which the data is stored, and may be a user interface for acquiring data from the user, a communication interface for acquiring data from an external device, or the like. In addition, each data acquisition source is associated with attribute information. Further, the correspondence between the data acquisition source and the attribute information may be held in the OS 64, programmed in the control program 65, or defined in the definition file read by the control program 65, for example. May be good.

As an example, a data storage area 62B in which photographic data is stored, a camera (not shown) mounted on the mobile terminal 50, or the like is a data acquisition source associated with attribute information indicating a "photograph". As another example, the data storage area 62B in which the address book is stored is a data acquisition source associated with the attribute information indicating the "sender". As yet another example, the software keyboard that can be displayed on the display unit 53 is a data acquisition source associated with the attribute information indicating the "character string". As yet another example, the data storage area 62B in which the stamp image data is stored is a data acquisition source associated with the attribute information indicating the "stamp". Further, the data acquisition source does not necessarily have to be built in the mobile terminal 50, and may be a data storage device connected to the mobile terminal 50 or an external device connected to the communication network 102.

With reference to FIGS. 7 and 8, the process of synthesizing the component image with the component region shown by the region indication images 87 and 88 of FIG. 6B will be described in detail. That is, the processes of steps S12 to S19 of FIG. 3 are repeated twice. Hereinafter, the process executed in response to the tapping of the area instruction image 87 and the process executed in response to the tapping of the area instruction image 88 will be described. It goes without saying that the order is not limited to this.

First, the control program 65 displays the photo list display screen on the photo list display unit 53 in response to the user operation of tapping the position of the area instruction image 87 in FIG. 6 (B) received by the operation unit 54 (S15: parts area). To display. FIG. 7A is an example of a photo list display screen. A plurality of thumbnail images are displayed in a list on the photo list display screen shown in FIG. 7A. The thumbnail image is an example of a reduced image obtained by reducing the image represented by the photographic data stored in the data storage area 62B. In addition, each thumbnail image displayed on the photo list display screen functions as an icon that accepts the selection of photo data, which is an example of component data. That is, the thumbnail image included in the photo list display screen is an example of the component identifier that identifies the component data.

Next, the control program 65 stores the photographic data identified by the thumbnail image in the data storage area 62B in response to the user operation of tapping one of the thumbnail images in FIG. 7A being accepted by the operation unit 54. The photographic image editing screen is displayed on the display unit 53. FIG. 7B is an example of a photographic image editing screen. The photographic image editing screen shown in FIG. 7B includes a photographic image 91 represented by photographic data acquired from the data storage area 62B, a trimming frame 92, an original icon 93, a sepia icon 94, and a monochrome icon 95. including.

The trimming frame 92 is an image for allowing the user to specify an area to be acquired as a component image in the photographic image 91. In other words, the trimming frame 92 is an image for allowing the user to specify an area to be combined with the component area of the photographic image 91. The trimming frame 92 has a shape similar to the component region indicated by the corresponding region information. The trimming frame 92 may be moved on the photographic image 91 by a slide operation, may be reduced by a pinch-in operation, or may be enlarged by a pinch-out operation, for example.

The original icon 93 is an icon for acquiring an image of a region designated by the trimming frame 92 of the photographic image 91 as a component image with the color tone of the photographic image 91 as it is. The sepia icon 94 is an icon for converting an image of a region designated by the trimming frame 92 of the photographic image 91 into a sepia tone and acquiring it as a component image. The monochrome icon 95 is an icon for converting an image in a region designated by the trimming frame 92 of the photographic image 91 into a monochrome tone and acquiring it as a component image. Each of the icons 93, 94, and 95 is an example of a format identifier that identifies each of a plurality of formats of the component image that can be synthesized in the component region indicated by the region indication image 87.

Then, the control program 65 obtains data indicating an image inside the trimming frame 92 of the photographic image 91 in response to the user operation of tapping one of the icons 93 to 95 accepted by the operation unit 54. Acquire as data (S16). Further, the control program 65 taps the component image indicated by the acquired component data in response to the user operation of tapping the sepia icon 94 or the monochrome icon 95 accepted by the operation unit 54 (S17: Yes). It is converted into a color tone identified by 94 and 95 (S18). Since the specific process for converting the color tone is well known, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the control program 65 displays on the display unit 53 a preview screen including a second preview image obtained by synthesizing the component images acquired from the photographic image 91 in the component area indicated by the area indication image 87 of the first preview image 86. (S12). The preview screen displayed in step S12 after executing steps S16 to S19 is different from the preview screen shown in FIG. 6B in that the component image is combined with the tapped component area. Other points are common to the preview screen shown in FIG. 6 (B). The above process is an example of the second display process. The details of the second display process will be described later.

Next, the control program 65 displays the address list display screen in response to the operation unit 54 receiving the user operation of tapping the position of the area instruction image 88 in FIG. 6 (B) (S15: component area). Display on 53. FIG. 8A is an example of the address list display screen. On the address list display screen shown in FIG. 8A, a plurality of name icons are displayed in a list. The name icon is an icon in which the name included in each address information stored in the data storage area 62B is described. The name icon is an icon that accepts the selection of address information, which is another example of component data. That is, the name icon is another example of a part identifier that identifies part data. However, the information described in the icon displayed on the address list display screen is not limited to the name, and the address or the like may be further described.

Next, the control program 65 responds to the operation unit 54 accepting the user operation of tapping one of the name icons displayed on the address list display screen, and the address information including the name described in the name icon. Is acquired from the data storage area 62B (S16). Further, the control program 65 extracts the address and the name from the acquired address information, and converts them into a component image represented in two stages in a horizontal arrangement (S17: Yes → S18). The process described later will be described assuming that the second name icon from the top of the address list display screen of FIG. 8A is tapped.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8 (B), the control program 65 acquired the component region shown in the area indication images 87 and 88 of the first preview image 86 in FIG. 6 (B) from the photographic image 91. A second preview image 98, which is a combination of the component image 96 and the component image 97 generated from the address information, is displayed on the display unit 53 (S12). The control program 65 draws the second preview image 98 in the graphic memory of the display unit 53 in order from the back image at the position indicated by the overlap information among the template image and the two component images 96 and 97. It is displayed on the display unit 53. That is, the control program 65 draws the component image 96, the template image, and the component image 97 in this order in the graphic memory of the display unit 53.

In the definition file shown in FIG. 2, "position = fixed" is set in the area information of "part 1" and "part 2" of "template 1". Therefore, the component images 96 and 97 are combined with the first preview image 86 with a predetermined position of the corresponding component region as a base point. As an example, the component image 96 may be arranged so that the center position of the circular component region and the center position of the component image 96 coincide with each other, and may be enlarged or reduced according to the size of the component region. .. Further, the part image 97 may be arranged so that the upper left end position of the rectangular part area and the upper left end position of the part image 97 coincide with each other, and may be enlarged or reduced according to the size of the part area. ..

Next, the control program 65 is included in the preview screen, for example, in response to the operation unit 54 accepting the user operation of tapping the background area of the preview screen shown in FIG. 8 (B) (S15: background area). The template image is edited (S20), and the preview screen including the edited template image is displayed on the display unit 53 (S12). The process of step S12 after executing step S20 is an example of the third display process. The same process is executed when the background area of the preview screen shown in FIG. 6B is tapped. Further, specific examples of editing the template image include changing the color tone of the template image, changing the background color of the template image, changing the background image constituting the template image, and the like. Items that can be edited for each template image may be defined in, for example, a template definition file.

As an example, when original, sepia, and monochrome can be adopted as the color tone of the template image, the color tone of the template image may be changed in the order of original, sepia, and monochrome each time the background area of the template image is tapped. .. In addition, a list of color tone identifiers indicating color tones that can be changed according to the long touch of the background area is displayed, and the template image is set to the color tone identified by the color tone identifier when one of the color tone identifiers is tapped. May be changed. The same applies when changing the background color of the template image.

As another example, when the template image data received from the server device 70 includes a plurality of background images and a foreground image located in front of the background image in the depth direction, the foreground image and the first preview screen are displayed. A first preview image including a template image composed of one background image is displayed on the display unit 53. Then, in response to the tapping of the background area of the first preview image, the display unit 53 may display the third preview image including the template image composed of the foreground image and the first background image.

Next, the control program 65 controls recording in response to the operation unit 54 accepting, for example, the operation of tapping the print icon 89 included in the preview screen of FIG. 8 (B) (S15: icon & S21: print icon). The process is executed (S22). The recording control process is a process of causing the printer unit 11 to execute a recording process of recording the second preview image 98 included in the preview screen on a postcard. Specifically, the control program 65 transmits the recording instruction information including the image data indicating the second preview image 98 to the multifunction device 10 through the communication unit 55. Then, the multifunction device 10 causes the printer unit 11 to execute the recording process for the image data included in the recording instruction information in response to the acquisition of the recording instruction information from the mobile terminal 50 through the communication unit 25.

Further, the control program 65 has a save icon 9 included in the preview screen of FIG. 8 (B).
In response to the operation of tapping 0 being accepted by the operation unit 54 (S15: Icon & S21)
: Save icon), execute the save control process (S23). The storage control process is a process of storing the data related to the second preview image 98 included in the preview screen in the data storage area 62B.

The storage destination of the image data is not limited to the data storage area 62B, and may be a storage server or the like on the Internet. Further, the data stored in the data storage area 62B in step S23 may be one image data indicating an image in which the template image and the component image are combined, or the template image data, the component data, and the template image. It may be layout information or the like indicating the layout of the component image above. Further, the control program 65 stores the image data indicating the second preview image 98 in the data storage area in response to the user operation of tapping the saved data icon 83 shown in FIG. 5A, for example, received by the operation unit 54. The preview screen obtained from 62B and shown in FIG. 8B may be displayed on the display unit 53 again.

[Action and effect of this embodiment]
According to the above embodiment, by tapping a predetermined component area on the template image, a component image having a predetermined attribute is combined with the component area. As a result, the component image can be combined with the template image with an intuitive and simple operation. Further, according to the above embodiment, the user can easily recognize the position of the component region by the region indication images 87 and 88. In the above embodiment, an example in which the next process is executed by tapping the area instruction images 87, 88, various icons, and the like has been described, but the operation for executing the next process is not limited to the tap operation. , Touch operation, long touch operation, slide operation, etc. may be performed.

In the above embodiment, the preview image included in the preview screen is distinguished from the first preview image, the second preview image, and the third preview image. In these distinctions, the component image is combined with the template image. It is a convenience depending on whether or not the template image has been edited, and is essentially the same. That is, in principle, the processing that can be executed on the first preview image can also be executed on the second preview image and the third preview image. The same applies to the processes that can be executed on the second preview image and the third preview image.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example will be described in which the user is allowed to select the component data that is the source of the component images 96 and 97 through the photo list display screen of FIG. 7 (A) or the address list display screen of FIG. 8 (A). bottom. As a result, the component images 96 and 97 desired by the user can be combined with the template image.

Then, the control program 65 displays the character string input by the user through the software keyboard in the text box, and the characters displayed in the text box in response to the user operation of tapping the confirmation key received by the operation unit 54. Part data is generated from the column (S16). Further, the control program 65 converts the character string of the horizontal arrangement displayed in the text box into the vertical arrangement according to the attribute information indicating the "vertical arrangement" (S17: Yes → S18). In addition, according to the conversion of the character string from the horizontal arrangement to the vertical arrangement, the character string may be changed to a font suitable for the vertical arrangement, or half-width alphanumeric characters may be changed to full-width alphanumeric characters. , Arabic numerals may be changed to Chinese numerals.

Next, as shown in FIG. 10B, the control program 65 is input to the component area shown by the area indication images 112 and 113 of the first preview image 111 of FIG. 9A through the text input screen. A second preview image 117, which is a combination of the component image 115 generated from the character string and the component image 116 indicated by the stamp image data selected through the stamp list display screen, is displayed on the display unit 53 (S12).

In the definition file shown in FIG. 2, "position = free" is set in the area information of "part 2" of "template 2", so that the part image 116 is the preview screen of FIG. 9 (A). With the tap position received by the operation unit 54 as a base point, the image is combined with the first preview image 111. For example, the component image 116 having a predetermined size is arranged so that the center position of the component image 116 coincides with the tap position.

By allowing a plurality of component regions to overlap as in the above-described modification 1, the degree of freedom in layout is improved. Further, by making it possible to combine the component image 115 whose position is fixed and the component image 116 whose position can be freely set with the template image, it is possible to achieve both ease of operation and freedom of layout.
