As shown in FIG. 6, the server 3 reads the image data used for creating the photo book (step S1), analyzes all the image data, and extracts the keyword (step S2).

A known technique can be used for the analysis of the image data. For example, the Google Cloud Vision API can be used as an image data analysis technology. Google
According to the Cloud Vision API, objects contained in images are detected and classified into object categories such as flowers, animals, and vehicles (= category classification), and shooting scenes are analyzed from the entire image, Child, Snapshot, Girl, Detect labels such as Fun, Classification, Recreation (= label detection), detect common natural landmarks and man-made structures (= landmark detection), search the web and labels related to images Can be detected (= web entity detection). The server 3 extracts object categories, labels, landmarks, etc. obtained from images by the technology of Google Cloud Vision API as keywords.

If the object category, label, landmark, etc. obtained by the Google Cloud Vision API are in English, they may be converted to Japanese using a known automatic translation technology and then extracted as keywords, or the title database 4 or The keyword stored in the inserted text database 5 may be English, and the keyword may be extracted as it is in English.

Next, the server 3 determines the title based on the keyword extracted in step S2 (step S3). Specifically, the server 3 searches the title database 4 for the title corresponding to the keyword.

For example, the server 3 selects four keywords in descending order of frequency among the keywords extracted in step S2, and the selected four keywords and the first keyword 44 to the fourth keyword 47 of the title database 4 are the most. You may try to get the matching title 42. However, the search method of the title database 4 is not limited to this example.

For example, the server 3 may store one design template in association with each title 42 of the title database 4 in advance, and automatically determine the design template. Further, for example, the server 3 associates and stores a plurality of design templates for each title 42 of the title database 4 in advance, displays the plurality of design templates on the terminal 2, and allows the user to select the design. You may decide the template.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the design template 6. The design template 6 used to create the photo book includes a front cover and back cover template 60a, a front door template 60b, a text (spread 1) platform template 60c, ..., A rear door template. Includes 60d. The text (spread) table layout template is included in the design template 6 according to the number of pages.

Each stand-up template contains an image frame into which an image is inserted and a text box into which text is inserted. The size, font, etc. are fixed in advance. The front cover and back cover template 60a includes image frames 61a and 61b, and a front cover text box 62a into which a title is inserted. The front door base split template 60b includes an image frame 61c and a text box 62b. The table layout template 60c of the text (spread 1) includes image frames 61d to 61f and a text box 62c. The rear door stand split template 60d includes an image frame 61g and a text box 62d.

Returning to the description of FIG. Next, the server 3 allocates image data to the image frame of the design template (step S5).

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an image data allocation process. The server 3 stores in advance the priority order 72 of the inserted image and the selection group 73 for each image frame 71. Further, the server 3 groups the images read in step S1 having a shooting time close to each other. For example, in the image frame 71 on the cover, the priority 72 is the person, the landscape, and the selection group 73 is all the images. Further, for example, in the image frame 71 of the spread 1-frame 1, the priority order 72 is a person, the selection group 73 is a group A, and the shooting date and time 74 is “12/10 10:01 to 10:10”.

The server 3 allocates image data to the image frame of the design template according to the priority order 72 and the selection group 73 exemplified in FIG. When there are a plurality of image data selected according to the priority order 72 and the selection group 73, the server 3 may randomly allocate the image data from the corresponding image data, or the server 3 may be randomly assigned according to the title as a selection criterion. Image data may be assigned. As a selection criterion indicating that the title is met, for example, a number in which the keyword acquired by image analysis matches the first keyword 44 to the fourth keyword 47 associated with the title 42 of the title database 4. Can be considered.

Returning to the description of FIG. Next, the server 3 allocates the title determined in step S3 to the text box on the cover of the design template (step S6).

Next, the server 3 extracts the keyword for each page by analyzing the image data arranged on each page of the photo book (step S7). As in step S1, a known technique can be used for the analysis of the image data. In step S1, the server 3 extracts the keyword of the entire photo book from all the image data, whereas in step S7, the server 3 extracts the keyword for each page from the image data assigned to each page in step S5. Extract.

Next, the server 3 determines the insertion text of each page based on the keyword for each page (step S8). Specifically, the server 3 searches the inserted text database 5 for the inserted text corresponding to the keyword.

For example, the server 3 extracts the most frequently used keyword among the page-based keywords extracted in step S7 and the inserted text 52 in which the first keyword 54 to the fourth keyword 57 of the inserted text database 5 match. Among the extracted inserted texts 52, the number of characters that can be inserted into the text box to be assigned may be acquired. However, the search method of the inserted text database 5 is not limited to this example.

Next, the server 3 allocates the inserted text in the text box on each page of the design template (step S9). Then, the server 3 transmits the layout result to the terminal 2, and the terminal 2 displays the layout result (step S10). After that, the terminal 2 receives an order for editing the layout result and creating a photo book from the user. Then, the terminal 2 transmits the order data and the photobook data of the layout result to the server 3. The server 3 receives the order data and the photobook data, and transmits the photobook data to the printing / binding machine.
