[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an index print, and more particularly to an index print for printing a plurality of images of respective frames photographed on a film side by side.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, by printing a plurality of images of respective frames photographed on a film side by side, it is possible to easily identify and retrieve what kind of photographic image is photographed on the film. Various proposals have been made for index prints created to do so.

For example, in an index photograph (print) producing apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-160983, an image of each frame photographed on a developed film is exposed on a recording paper by an optical means. By doing so, the index photograph is created.

Further, in the method of creating an index photograph disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-153128, an index print in which the images of the frames photographed on the developed film are arranged in the right-and-left order in the order of photographing. Is created.

For example, in a prewind type camera, the actual shooting order is such that the images of the frames are arranged in descending order with respect to the frame number on the film. The index print is created according to the actual shooting order instead of the numerical order. Further, for example, in a camera in which the film patrone is loaded into the camera in the upside-down direction, the image of each frame photographed on the film is exposed in the upside-down direction on the film. However, on the index print to be created, the index print is created by aligning the vertical direction of the actually exposed screen, not the vertical direction of the film itself.

On the other hand, for example, a magnetic or optical photographing information recording section is attached to one end of the roll-shaped film,
Conventionally, various films have been proposed in which information such as shooting information and screen size at the time of taking a picture is recorded in the shooting information recording unit or the like.

FIG. 16 is a schematic view of a film provided with a photographing information recording section for recording the photographing information and the like, and shows a part of a roll-shaped film.

The film 102 illustrated in FIG. 16 (a) is provided with a screen portion 102a on which an image is formed by being exposed at the time of taking a picture, and the film is outside the range of the screen portion 102a. A magnetic recording portion 102b made of, for example, a magnetic material is attached to one end portion of the width direction 102. When a photograph is taken using this film 102, an information recording member (not shown) such as a magnetic head provided on the camera side allows magnetic recording of the photographing information or the like on the magnetic recording unit 102b. It is supposed to be done. Then, a photographic print process or the like is performed based on the photographic information or the like recorded in the magnetic recording unit 102b, and the photographic information or the like is corrected or changed by an information recording member or the like including a magnetic head or the like of the photographic printing apparatus. And so on.

The film 1 illustrated in FIG. 16 (b)
02A is provided with a screen portion 102a on which an image is formed by being exposed at the time of photographing, and the film 10 outside the range of the screen portion 102a.
An optical identification mark 102c on which shooting information and the like are recorded is attached to one end in the width direction of 2A.
When a photograph is taken using the film 102, the identification mark 102c is formed on the film 102A by an optical recording member formed on the camera side, for example, formed by a light emitting diode (LED) or the like.
Is attached.

However, the above-mentioned JP-A-6-160983 and the above-mentioned JP-A-6-15312.
According to the means disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 8 etc., the image of each frame photographed on the film to be printed on the index print is printed in a small size. Information etc.,
There is a problem that it is difficult to visually identify the degree of image focus, blurring, etc. on the index print.

When the index print is made from a film photographed by a camera using a film provided with a photographing information recording section for recording the photographing information and the like, the film is recorded on the film. There is a problem that the photographing information and the like recorded in the attached photographing information recording unit are not effectively utilized.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and to provide information about each image on the index print, that is, date and time display, information about an image such as focus and blur, and a film. There is provided an index print in which the shooting information and the like recorded in the shooting information recording section attached to the can be effectively utilized and the shooting information and the like can be easily visually confirmed on the index print. .

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the illustrated embodiments. FIG. 1 is an overall view showing the outline of index printing according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The index print of the first embodiment is made from a film filmed using a film provided with an information recording unit and the like. That is, as described above with reference to FIG. 16, an information recording section additionally provided on the film, for example, a magnetic information recording section including a magnetic recording layer and a recording magnetic head provided on the camera side, or, for example, Filming is performed by a film having an information recording unit for recording shooting information and the like by a light emitting means such as a light emitting diode (LED), and a plurality of images of each frame shot on the film are printed side by side to effectively use the shooting information. The index print is created.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the index print 1 of the first embodiment, a plurality of images of each frame photographed on a film are arranged side by side and are mainly printed on paper or the like. The index print 1 may be made of a material such as vinyl or plastic instead of the above paper.

A title column 2 is provided on the upper side of the index print 1 and, for example, a memorandum, a memo column and the like for use when searching or organizing films are provided. Also, the index print 1
In the vicinity of the title column 2 on the upper side of the
And a date column 4 and the like are provided. This serial number column 3
The serial number displayed on the screen is provided for the purpose of identifying the film, classifying, and the like. Normally, at a DPE store or the like that develops photographic film, all frames of exposed photographic film that have been photographed have been taken. Of the developed film itself, or a number corresponding to the number given to the developed film itself or the storage member of the developed film. The date displayed in the date column 4 is provided for identifying the film, classifying, etc., as in the serial number column 3.
Usually, the date when the development requester such as a photographer requests the development processing of the photographed and exposed photographic film or the date when the development processing of the photographic film is actually performed is the DPE shop. It is given by a store or the like. The date assigned to the date column 4 is also the same as the designated date designated by the client of the photographic film developing process (that is, photographer or the like).

Then, on the index print 1, a plurality of images of the entire frame of each frame photographed on the film are printed side by side in a matrix form, for example, 5 frames horizontally by 5 frames vertically. ing.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an image of each frame on the film based on the photographic information recorded in the information recording section of each frame on the film in the index print 1 having the above-described basic structure. The information and the like are displayed in a size that can be easily discriminated visually and in the screen of each frame on the index print 1 or in the vicinity of the screen.

As shown in FIG. 2, reference numerals 6a, 6b, 6
The display by c and 6d is performed at an arbitrary position in the screen frame 5 on the index print 1, for example, a position along the lower side of the screen frame 5 or a position outside the screen frame 5 on the index print 1. Displayed at an arbitrary position on the index print 1 in a size that can be easily visually discriminated based on information about the image of each frame recorded in the information recording section on the film, for example, date, time, etc. This is an example. That is, reference numeral 6a
Indicates the date information such as the date by letters and the reference numeral 6c indicates the time information by the preset pictograms or the like at any position in the screen frame 5, and
Reference numeral 6b indicates date and time information in characters
d is an example in which time information is displayed at an arbitrary position near the outside of the screen frame 5 by a preset pictogram or the like.

Further, the display by the reference numerals 7a, 7b, 10a and 10b is performed by the screen frame 5 on the index print 1.
Visually set a preset character string, symbol, figure, pattern, etc. on the index print 1 at an arbitrary position inside or at an arbitrary position near the outside of the screen frame 5 on the index print 1. This is an example in which the size is displayed so that it can be easily discriminated. That is, "I
“LOVE YOU” and other character strings and heart-shaped figures, designs, etc., preset display, and character strings arbitrarily set by the photographer, for example, “M.
Character strings such as arbitrary comments are displayed for each frame such as JAGGER "and" K.RICHARDS ", and reference numerals 7a and 10a are provided at arbitrary positions in the screen frame 5, and Reference numerals 7b and 10b are examples displayed at arbitrary positions near the outside of the screen frame 5, respectively.

In this case, the above-mentioned display is a character string or the like previously set by the information recording member of the camera at the time of shooting, and by the DPE store or the like at the time of developing processing, and the shooting. A character string or the like arbitrarily set by a person at the time of taking a photograph is recorded in the information recording section or the like on the film so that the index print 1 can be displayed.

Further, reference numerals 8a, 8b, 8c, 9a, 9b
Is displayed at an arbitrary position within the screen frame 5 on the index print 1 or at an arbitrary position near the outside of the screen frame 5 on the index print 1 with respect to the information on the image such as the information recording portion on the film. This is an example in which the blur information, the focus information, and the like are displayed on the index print 1 in a size that can be easily visually discriminated, based on, for example, “with blur!” Or “out of focus!” The display with a character string such as
a is an arbitrary position within the screen frame 5, reference numerals 8b and 9b are arbitrary positions near the outside of the screen frame 5, and reference numeral 8c
Is an example in which a display made up of preset pictograms is displayed at an arbitrary position in the screen frame 5.

In this case, when taking a picture, information such as camera shake during exposure and out-of-focus that is detected by the camera shake detection means, the focus detection means, etc.
The information is recorded in an information recording section or the like on the film, and the information is displayed on the index print 1 based on such information.

In addition, the above-mentioned various information and the like are displayed on the screen frame 5.
For the position to be displayed in the screen, refer to the screen frame 5 of each image.
2 is not limited to the display position shown in FIG. 2, it is possible to freely set the position so that it is displayed at an arbitrary position. Also, the size of each display can be set to any size as long as it is set to a size that can be visually identified on the index print 1. Further, similarly, each display color can be freely set in any display color. For example, when displaying in the screen frame 5 on the index print 1, the background of the image in the screen frame 5 is displayed. It is also possible to adjust and change the display color for each screen so that it can be discriminated by the color.

Further, various kinds of information described with reference to FIG. 2 above, that is, information on date, time and the like (reference numerals 6a and 6a).
(b, 6c, 6d), information (reference numeral 7a, consisting of preset character strings such as comments, symbols, figures, and designs)
7b), information (10a, 10b) consisting of character strings, symbols, figures, designs, etc. arbitrarily set by the photographer can be set to be displayed on the photographic print as well. In the above, the ratio of the display size of the various information to the screen size on the index print 1 and the ratio of the display size of the various information to the screen size of the actual photo print need to be set differently.

That is, on the index 1, the screen frame 5 of each frame is printed small, but the various information displays on the screen frame 5 are of a size that can be easily discriminated visually. Must be set to display. Therefore, the ratio of the various information display sizes to the screen size on the index print 1 is set to be larger than the ratio of the various information display sizes to the screen size of the photographic print.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the display size of the on-screen display of date information and the like on a general L size photographic print (about 127 mm × about 89 mm), and FIG. Screen frame 5 (approx. 24 mm x
It is a figure which shows the display size of the screen display of date information etc. on about 16 mm), and shows the photographic print by which FIG. 3 was produced with respect to the image shown in this FIG.
Further, FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a character shape that is generally used in the past, for example, for displaying a date.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the ratio of the size of the screen frame 5 on the L size photographic print and the index print 1 is about 1: 5.5.
Further, the height dimension of the display character of the date part on the L size print is about 4 mm, while the height dimension of the display character of the date part on the screen frame 5 on the index print 1 is It is about 0.7 mm.

Here, regarding the display characters used for the date display and the like in FIGS. 3 and 4, as shown in FIG.
Assuming that a general display character is used, the width of the display character is set to about 1/2 of the height dimension of the display character, so that the screen frame 5 on the index print 1 of FIG. The display character width of the date part above is about 0.35 mm
Becomes

On the other hand, the image resolution of an index print that has been put to practical use is generally about 300.
It is about dpi (dot / inch), and in this case, 1
The size per dot is about 0.085 mm. As a result, the size of the displayed characters (about 0.7 mm × 0.35 mm) in the date part (about 2.7 mm × 0.7 mm) on the screen frame 5 on the index print 1 shown in FIG. 4 above.
Is represented by the number of dots, it is about 8 × 4 dots. However, when information is displayed on the index print 1 with this number of dots, it is difficult to display the display characters as shown in FIG. is there. Further, even if the display character is displayed by the number of dots (about 8 × 4 dots), the display character becomes small. Therefore, the character displayed on the index print 1 cannot be visually identified. It's extremely difficult.

Therefore, the ratio of the display character size of information or the like to the screen size of the screen frame 5 on the index print 1 is set to be different from the ratio of the display character size of the information or the like to the screen size of the actual photo print. The ratio of the display character size of information or the like to the screen size of the screen frame 5 on the index print 1 is set to be large so that the information display or the like on the index print 1 can be easily visually discriminated. Has been done.

At this time, regarding the size of the displayed characters and the like, for example, when displaying characters, the minimum character height dimension that can be easily visually identified is 1 mm or more, and the maximum character height dimension is plural. In consideration of securing a space for arranging characters and distinguishing the image in the screen frame 5 on the index print 1, the maximum height dimension of 5 mm or less is a desirable character size standard. For symbols, figures, designs, etc., the minimum height dimension is 1 mm or more and the maximum height dimension requires less space than the above character string for the same reason as in the case of character display. Therefore, the maximum height dimension of 10 mm or less is a guide for the desired size.

As described above, according to the display example of the various information in the first embodiment, it is possible to determine what kind of image is exposed for each frame image printed on the index print 1. Since the image is as small as possible, blurring, blurring, etc. recognized in the image stretched as a photographic print cannot be discriminated in the small screen frame 5 on the index print 1, but at the time of taking a photograph. Etc., the blurring and out-of-focus information is recorded in the information recording section on the film, and the shooting information such as blurring and out-of-focus is visually checked on the index print 1 based on the information recorded in this information recording section. The information about the image is displayed on the index print 1 by displaying it so that And the like can be confirmed, shake,
It is possible to eliminate waste such as creating a photographic print of an image with out-of-focus.

Further, the date and time information at the time of taking a photograph recorded in the information recording portion on the film is displayed on the index print 1 so as to be visually discernible, so that the retrieval and classification of the photograph and the film can be performed. Arrangement can be done easily.

Furthermore, a preset character string, etc.,
Or, by displaying the character strings, symbols, figures, designs, etc. that are set arbitrarily on the index print 1 or the photo print, it is possible to create a photo print with comments, etc. displayed on the screen, and a wider range of photos. Can be expressed.

Then, as described above, based on the various information displays recorded in the information recording portion or the like on the film, various information displays are displayed on the index print 1 so that they can be easily visually discriminated. By creating the index print 1 described above, it can be used as an effective reference material when creating photographic prints, waste can be saved, and efficiency in searching for photographs, films, etc., sorting and sorting can be improved. Can contribute.

FIG. 6 is an overall view showing the outline of index printing showing the second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, in the index print 1A for printing a plurality of images of each frame photographed on a film side by side, a memo field corresponding to each image of each printed frame is provided. Has the same structure as the index print 1 of the first embodiment described above. Therefore, the same components are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 6, a title column 2, a serial number column 3, a date column 4 and the like are provided on the upper side of the index print 1A, as in the index print 1 of the first embodiment described above. . Then, an image of the entire screen of each frame photographed on the film is, for example, 5 horizontal frames × 5 vertical frames.
A plurality of pieces are arranged side by side in a matrix like a piece and printed, and piece numbers 21 are given in ascending order to arbitrary positions in the screen frame 5 of each piece. The frame number 21 is given a number corresponding to the frame number of the image of each frame photographed on the film.

A memo column 22 is provided on the lower side of the index print 1A, and a frame number on the film and a frame number 23 corresponding to the frame number 21 on the index print 1A are given. ing. This memo column 22 is used for, for example, a request for reprinting of photographic prints to the DPE store or the like that carries out photographic print processing, memos such as the number of ordered sheets, reprinting instructions, etc., film search, sorting, etc. At the time of performing, it is possible to write a comment or the like on the image of each frame.

The display position of the frame number 21 is shown in FIG.
The position is not limited to the position within the screen frame 5 shown in FIG. 1 and can be freely set to any position, and the size thereof can be easily discriminated visually on the index print 1A. Any size can be set freely. further,
Regarding the color of the display character of the frame number 21 displayed in the screen frame 5, as in the case of the display character color of the first embodiment, the color of the display character is made to correspond to the background color of the image in the screen frame 5. , Can be adjusted for each image and set to be displayed in a distinguishable manner.

With this configuration, according to the second embodiment, by providing the memo field 22 in the index print 1A, it is possible to obtain the instruction document for requesting the photo print processing from the DPE store or the like. Therefore, it is possible to surely create a photographic print without waste.

FIG. 7 is an overall view showing the outline of a modification of the index print 1A of the above-mentioned second embodiment.
It shows a modification of the memo field 22 in the second embodiment. That is, in the above-described second embodiment, the memo fields 22 are collectively displayed on the lower side of the index print 1A, but in the index print 1B of this modified example, the memo prints on the index print 1B. A memo field 24 is provided near each screen frame 5 on which each image is displayed.

FIG. 8 is an overall view showing the outline of another modification of the index print 1A of the above-mentioned second embodiment, and another modification of the memo column 22 in the above-mentioned second embodiment. Is shown. That is, the memo column 22 in the second embodiment described above is provided with the memo column 25 on the back surface of the index print 1C as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 8, the front surface of the index print 1C is provided with a title column 2, a serial number column 3, a date column 4, etc., as in the first and second embodiments described above. Images of the entire screen of each frame photographed on the film are arranged side by side in a matrix and printed, for example, 5 frames horizontally × 5 frames vertically. Then, similarly to the above-described second embodiment, the frame numbers 21 are given in ascending order to arbitrary positions in the screen frame 5 of each frame. The frame number 21 is given a number corresponding to the frame number of the image of each frame photographed on the film.

As shown in FIG. 9, a memo field 25 is provided on the back surface of the index print 1C, each frame photographed on the film, and the screen frame 5 of the index print 1C. The frame number 23 corresponding to the image is added.

With such a structure, the same effect as the second embodiment can be obtained, and the memo column 24 provided near each screen frame 5 of the index print 1B, Alternatively, by performing a memo such as a comment on each image in the memo field 25 provided on the back surface of the index print 1C, it is possible to more efficiently perform a work such as film search or photo classification.

Incidentally, in the means (see FIGS. 8 and 9) shown in another embodiment of the above-mentioned second embodiment, for example, the index print 1 is made by an automatic print developing device or the like.
When creating C, a means of using a roll-shaped photographic paper having a memo field 25 provided on the back side in advance by printing or the like can be considered.

In this case, if the print processing is performed without making the exposure position of the index print 1C on the front side of the photographic paper and the position of the memo field 25 on the back side coincide with each other, the front side is printed. The photographic printing paper is cut (cut) in accordance with the index print 1C on the front side of the sheet, so that the memo field 25 printed on the back side is printed.
There is a possibility that will be cut off in the middle. Then, as shown in FIG. 10, there may be a problem that the memo field 25 corresponding to the image of each frame of the index print 1C cannot be provided for all the frames.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, the above problem can be solved by devising the setting dimension of the memo field 25 printed on the back side of the roll-shaped printing paper.
That is, FIG. 11 is a view showing the back side surface of the roll-shaped printing paper, and shows the set dimensions of the memo field 25 which is continuously printed on the back side surface of the roll-shaped printing paper.

As shown in FIG. 11, a memo field 25 is continuously printed on the back surface of the roll-shaped printing paper 1R. The size of the memo field 25 in the roll direction is set to l1. The size of the memo field 25 in the roll direction for one step is set to l2 and the space between the memo fields 25 to be continuously printed is It is assumed that the dimension is set to l3 and the printing is performed.

With such a set dimension,
When the index print 1C is printed on the front surface of the roll-shaped photographic paper 1R having a memo field 25 printed on the back surface thereof, for example, the index print 1C When the dimension L in the roll direction is set to L = l1 + l3, the position of the index print 1C on the front side surface of the roll-shaped photographic printing paper 1R and the position of the memo field 25 on the back side surface thereof cannot always be matched. .

That is, FIG. 12 is a view showing a memo field 25 printed on the back surface of the roll-shaped printing paper 1R when the dimension L in the roll direction of the index print 1C is L1 + l3. In (a) and (b),
Index print 1 printed on the front side
C and the memo field 25 on the back side are different in positional relationship, and the boundary line of the index print 1C is indicated by a broken line.

In FIG. 11A, the size of the index print 1C in the roll direction is set to L = l1 + l3, so that the position of the index print 1C and the position of the memo field 25 match. , Fig. 11
As shown in (b), when there is a deviation between the position of the index print 1C and the position of the memo column 25 on the start line (not shown) serving as the reference line, the roll-shaped printing paper 1R. In all of the above cases, the deviation occurs, and the position of the index print 1C does not match the position of the memo field 25.

Therefore, when the index print 1C is printed by using the roll-shaped photographic paper 1R having the memo field 25 printed on the back surface thereof, the dimension of the index print 1C in the roll direction. By setting L> l1 + l2 + l3, the print position of the index print 1C and
The position of the memo field 25 on the back side can be matched, and the memo field 25 corresponding to all the images of the index print 1C can always be provided.

On the other hand, the position of the index print 1C printed on the front surface of the roll-shaped printing paper 1R,
In order to match the position of the memo field 25 printed on the back side in advance, a method different from the above method can be considered.

For example, when the index print 1C is printed on the front surface of the roll-shaped printing paper 1R, the reference line of the memo field 25 printed on the back surface is set, and the start for positioning is set accordingly. The same applies when positioning is performed by providing a mark or the like and detecting this start mark or the like.

After printing the index print 1C on the front side of the roll-shaped printing paper 1R, a memo field 25 is formed on the back side of the index print 1C.
The same applies when printing is performed so as to match the printed position of.

By the way, in recent years, a so-called panorama size print, a high-definition size print, etc., in which a photograph print of a horizontally long screen is obtained by shielding a part of the upper and lower portions of the screen for one frame of film at the time of taking a photograph, Various types of photographic prints have been proposed and are in widespread use.

That is, FIG. 13 is a view exemplifying various photographic print formats that have been generally proposed and popularized in the past, and the exposure area on the entire screen area on the film and the corresponding areas. 3A and 3B are examples of image images of photographic prints created by the above, where FIG. 1A is a general L-size print, FIG. 2B is a panorama print, and FIG. 3C is a high-definition print. is there.

As shown in FIG. 12A, in a general L-size print, the screen area actually photographed as a screen area 26 photographed on the film is shaded by diagonal lines. Print range 2 shown
7, and an L size print 28 is thereby created. In this case, almost the entire screen of the screen area 26 taken on the film is created as a photographic print.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12B, in the panorama size print, the screen area actually created as a photographic print is the screen area 26 for the screen area 26 photographed on the film. An area in which a part of the upper and lower parts of is shaded, that is, a print range 29 indicated by diagonal lines. In this case, the aspect ratio (aspect ratio) of the print range 29 is set to be about 1: 3, and the screen area of the print range 29 is created as a photographic print, so that the aspect ratio ( A panoramic size print 30 having an aspect ratio of about 1: 3 is created.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12 (c), in the high-definition size print, the screen area actually created as a photographic print is the screen area 26 for the screen area 26 photographed on the film. A part of the upper and lower parts of the area is shaded, that is, a print range 31 indicated by a diagonal line. In this case, the aspect ratio of the print range 31 is about 9:16.
Is set so that the screen area of the print range 31 is created as a photographic print,
A high-definition size print 32 having an aspect ratio of about 9:16 is created.

On the other hand, the index prints 1A, 1B, 1 of the second embodiment according to the present invention and the respective modifications thereof.
When the memo fields 22, 24, 25 provided on C are used for, for example, an instruction for reprinting, not only the number of photographic prints to be reprinted, but also the print size when the photographic prints are reprinted, that is, the above-mentioned Print formats such as panorama size and high definition size of
The photographer is allowed to make any selection, and such instructions for the photograph print size are given in the memo field 2 above.
2, 24, 25 can be used.

Further, with respect to the entire screen area 26 photographed on the film, a trimming print in which an arbitrary part of the screen is arbitrarily selected (trimmed) by a photographer or the like, or the film is recorded. It is also possible to instruct the entire screen area 26 photographed above to make a photographic print by blocking a part in the left-right direction.
