Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the seal sheet of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a sheet and reference numeral 20 denotes a seal base sheet 20.

The backing paper 10 is formed by laminating a film separator (release paper) typified by polypropylene (PP) on one surface 11 of blank paper or a postcard-size paper on which a predetermined uniform design is applied. Cuts 12 corresponding to the size and cuts (six places) 13 corresponding to the refill punch holes are provided.

The seal base paper 20 is formed by providing an adhesive layer on the back surface of a blank sheet that is the same as or slightly smaller than the mount sheet 10,
It is stuck on the one surface 11 of the mount 10 so that it can be easily peeled off. In addition, the seal base paper 20 is separated by a cut 21, and has a first seal 22 having an overall landscape shape, a second seal 23 having a rectangular shape having a size close to that of a conventional image print seal, and a third seal 23 having various shapes. Seal 24
And a blank seal 25 excluding these seals 22 to 24
The seals 22 to 24 are arranged inside the cuts 12 corresponding to the refill size of the backing sheet 10, and the margin seal 25 includes a portion corresponding to a punch hole for refilling and refills the backing sheet 10. It is arranged so as to straddle the cut 12 corresponding to the size.

Is a character input unit, 44 is an image data synthesizing unit, 45 is a printing unit, and 46 is an image display unit.

The background selecting means 41 selects an arbitrary background image from a plurality of value-added images (background images) prepared in advance, and stores various digital images stored as digital data in a storage means such as a built-in hard disk. The display 3 with a touch panel as the image display means 46 for displaying an image
5, and at this time, the image designated by the player with the finger on the display 35 with the touch panel is set as the selected image.

The photographing means 42 is for photographing an image of the player, and is provided with a CC provided on the front of the housing 31 described above.
An image of the player is captured as digital data by the D camera.

The character input means 43 is for inputting arbitrary character information, and displays a character input image including alphabets, katakana, numerals, etc. on the above-mentioned display 35 with a touch panel. On the other hand, the character designated by the player by touching the finger is used as character information.

The image data synthesizing means 44 synthesizes the background image, the player image and the character information described above. Here, the synthesizing method is arbitrary, and as an example, there is a method of preparing an image frame as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 to be described later in a background image and fitting a player image into this image frame. The method of embedding an image is well known, and a detailed description thereof is omitted here. However, as an example, only the image frame of the background image is transparent (no data), and the logical sum of the background image and the image of the player is output. Such a method is mentioned. Alternatively, a known image processing technique such as a so-called chroma key process or an image extraction process may be used to cut out only the player's image and arrange it in front of the background image. Naturally, images may be synthesized by combining the above-described methods.

The printing means 45 prints the combined image data corresponding to the position of the sticker on the predetermined sticker board (the "seal" here is the sticker board described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3). Means the first seal 22 and the second seal 23, and neither the player's image nor the character information is printed on the third seal 24, and only a predetermined or selected design image is printed.) . At this time,
There is no limitation on the printing method, thermal transfer type, inkjet type,
Well-known printing methods such as a sublimation method, a melting method, and an electrostatic coupling method can be adopted.

In addition, in practice, there are other device configurations such as a stock / transport system for a seal board, a coin management system, and a voice guidance system, but they are not directly related to the present invention, and therefore are omitted.

Next, a description will be given of how to form the image print sticker of the present invention on the above-mentioned sticker mount using the above-mentioned apparatus.

First, when the player inserts a coin into the coin insertion slot 38, a background image selection screen showing a plurality of, here six background frames 51 as shown in FIG. Actually, there are several background genre selection screens before this, but they are omitted.)

In this state, the display 3 with the touch panel
When the player selects one of the background frames 51 by touching the finger with respect to the selected background frame (reselection is possible, but the number of times is limited), the composite portion of the player image on the left side of the selected background frame is enlarged. A shooting screen of a player image as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed. Note that there is also a background frame for two persons, and if the selected background frame is for two persons, a shooting screen for two persons as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed.

Here, the display with touch panel 35
When the player touches the surface of the camera with a finger, after a predetermined time (about 5 seconds), the above-described imaging by the CCD camera is performed.
After conversion into digital data, the data is once synthesized and displayed in the image frame 52 of the shooting screen. At this time, if you are not satisfied with the displayed image, take another shot (re-shooting is possible,
(The number of times is limited). Although the image frames 52 shown in FIG. 8 are provided individually for each person, an image frame wider than the image frame 52 for one person is prepared so that two persons can be combined in a common image frame. You may do it.

Screen for confirming player's image (not shown)
After the end of the process, a character input screen as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed. On this screen, touch panel display 3
When the player touches the surface of No. 5 with a finger, the type, shape, size, and the like of the character are selected, and the character to be input is further selected (can be selected again and again) and determined.

The contents of the character information input by the player can be arbitrarily selected by the player itself, and there is only a limit on the number of characters in the system of the apparatus. The player can input his / her name, address, telephone number, and the like, and can also input an arbitrary message. Also,
Since the number of characters that can be input to the first sticker 22 and the number of characters that can be input to the second sticker 23 are different, the character input screen is displayed twice for each of the stickers 22 and 23 for convenience.

Thereafter, when a final confirmation is made through a design image selection screen (not shown), the player's image and the inputted character information are combined with the selected background frame,
Printed on each position of the first seal 22 of the seal base paper 20 (at the same time, on each position of the second seal 23, an image corresponding to the background frame corresponding to FIG. 7 or FIG. 8 and characters input by the player) The information is synthesized and printed, and the selected design image is printed at each position of the third seal 24.

FIG. 10 shows an example of the first seal portion after printing, in which 61 is an image of the player and 62 is character information (however, the background is omitted).

By removing the margin seal and the outer portion of the mount from the seal mount including the image print sticker thus created, the image print sticker can be closed with the binder for refilling as it is, and the image print sticker can be exchanged with another player. If it is replaced and pasted on the sticker pasting field 15 on the back of the mount, the address book can be used as it is.

[0044]

As described above, according to the image print sticker of the present invention, it is possible to obtain information of characters related to the player together with the image of the player. Can be used as an address book, especially if the player's name, address, and phone number are used as character information, and after exchange, contact and deepen exchanges. It becomes possible to enjoy.

According to the image print sticker producing apparatus, the above-mentioned image print sticker can be easily produced.

Further, according to the sticker mount of the present invention, the size at the time of printing can be the same as the conventional postcard size, and after printing, the refill size with punch holes can be obtained only by peeling off the margin seal. It is possible to immediately close the binder in a good format without causing any inconvenience during printing. In particular, if a sticker sticking column is provided on the other surface of the mount, the sticker itself can be used as the sticker sheet.
