Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a photographic printing method, and more particularly, to printing a plurality of scenes on a single sheet of photographic paper, and at the same time, determining the print position, print size, etc. of each scene. The present invention relates to a novel photo printing method that enables photo printing (hereinafter referred to as layout free printing) in which explanatory text and the like of the photo can be printed according to the free specifications of the orderer using an automatic photo printing device.

Layout-free printing is specially performed when a large number of prints are to be made from the same negative, such as album photos or postcard prints, and it is used for normal reorder printing with a small number of prints. Doing so is a purely personal hobby that ignores the expense involved. In addition, even if such an order were received, it would be difficult to receive it using the current distribution system for photo prints, which consists of only 0 laboratories and short-time processing such as the mini-lab system. .

The present invention was made with the focus on the fact that if layout-free printing could be performed using an automatic photo printing device, it would be possible to provide it at a low cost, and it would greatly contribute to expanding the demand for reordered prints and, in turn, to expanding the base of photographic culture. Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to clarify a novel method for printing layout-free prints that can be provided at low cost. The present invention is embodied in the recognition of various technical problems that make automation possible and the means for solving them, which will become clear from the following description of the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

Next, we will provide an overview of the conditions that make it possible to automate layout-free printing and how to solve them.

A. Concept of Layout Free Print A: Multiple scenes are printed on 121 sheets of photographic paper.

A2: It is desirable to have multiple standard sizes of photographic paper available.

It is desirable that the number of scenes to be printed on an A3 screen is larger than that of one film, and that the user can freely select them from among the films he or she owns.

It is desirable that the A4 print size can be freely specified for each scene.

It is desirable that the shape of the frame can be freely specified, such as a square, circle, heart shape, etc., in addition to the conventional rectangle.

F: When it comes to printing explanatory text for photos, it is desirable to have as many characters as possible and to be able to freely specify the print size. In this case, kanji, hiragana, katakana, romaji,
It is desirable to be able to choose as widely as possible the types of other characters, symbols, etc., fonts, etc. Furthermore, it is desirable that the handwritten explanatory text of the orderer can be printed as is.

A7: It should be provided as cheaply as possible.

A8: It is desirable to be able to provide speedy service from the time an order is received until the product is delivered on the same day or the next day at the latest.

The following are the concepts required for Layout Free Print I, but at the same time, the various conditions required for general photographic printing, such as appropriate exposure conditions, color adjustment, etc.
It is necessary to satisfy such requirements as preventing misprints and speeding up printing work.

Next, the concept of the hardware and software of an automatic photoprinting apparatus that satisfies the above will be explained. (See Figure 1.) The automatic photo printing equipment that can produce layout-free prints as described in "B. Hardware" has a mechanism specific to layout-free prints in addition to a general reorder print mechanism. These mechanisms are: B1: Negative transport means B2 Niblint magnification, direction change, print frame designation means B3 Niblint type two-dimensional movement means B4: Exposure means B5: Character printing material or printing means B8: Photographic paper It consists of a conveying means, and further comprises two control sections B7 to control these means.

This is a technology used to perform layout-free printing using an automatic photo printing device as described in "C Software" 2.

C1: Format information specified by the orderer (print position, print size, print direction, outside of the normal quadrilateral, circular, /\-shaped, etc. for the matayaki frame, if it is possible to select, print (including designation of frames) C2: This is to read and process printed information such as photo descriptions, and C3: This is to read and process negative information from the negative film handed over from the orderer. .

The concept of layout free printing (A), hardware (B), and software (C) described above have an organic relationship with each other, and it goes without saying that once the task conditions to be satisfied in one department are determined, the other two Departments only need to have the capabilities to satisfy their corresponding challenges, and each department does not need to satisfy the highest possible challenge. For example, the concept of layout free printing is A20: The size of photographic paper is one standard size, A3
0: Only one size of film is printed on one sheet of photographic paper, and negatives of different sizes must not be included.A40:
The number of prints that can be printed on a single sheet of photographic paper is limited to 6 or less, and the size of the specified number of sheets must be larger.The shape of the A50 print frame should be rectangular or square.60: Printing or imprinting must be no more than 20 characters. By stipulating that all text be in Japanese, etc., the above-mentioned B hardware and C software can be made quite simple. Therefore, the above-mentioned task conditions are merely an illustrative list, and those that far exceed the indicated task conditions also belong to the layout-free print of the present invention.

Next, a specific example will be described in which layout free printing is performed according to the route of the orderer → distributor → laboratory → distributor → orderer.

(1) Receiving an order at a distributor A, receiving the re-ordered film and specifying the frames to be printed.

B. How to arrange the specified frames (scenes), and
The size and layout will be specified.

C1 Receive instructions for printing explanatory text, etc. on photos.

When receiving the above format information, an order form as shown in FIG. 2 is used. That is, FIG. 2(A)
is a re-ordered film brought by the orderer and stored in a negative bag. Normally, frames are designated by writing serial numbers on the negative bag of the frame portion to be reprinted, but it is also possible to prepare a special negative bag formed integrally with a layout card, etc., which will be described later. Reorder prints are usually 3-6
Since it is cut into frames, you can piece them together at a replacement store and ask for the serial number of each frame. The extent to which these operations are carried out at the transfer shop is related to the reading of negative information, which will be described later. Figures 2 (B) to (F) show examples of layout cards, and (B) shows a layout card mount 1 with a negative (frame) number entry field 2, a title entry field 3, and an explanatory text entry field 4. This example shows that 12 scenes, as specified in the number entry column 2, are printed in uniform size on one sheet of photographic paper. Figure 2 (C) differs from the one in (B) in the number of prints and arrangement, as well as a different print size, and a vertical pudding! 2 (D) shows one in which printing is performed using photographic paper in landscape orientation. Figure 2 (B')
In the case shown in ~(D), many types of layout cards are prepared and the orderer is asked to select one.
Items shown in E) and (F) are negative (frame) number entry column 2.
Various kinds of print cards 5 having a field for writing and explanatory text are prepared in advance and pasted onto the mount 1 of the layout card, allowing the layout to be freely designed according to the order.

The type and number of characters that can be used in the title entry field 3 and explanatory text entry field 4 are related to the hardware described later. For example, by setting a limit such as 20 Japanese characters or less, the printing or printing mechanism in the hardware described later can be considerably simplified. In addition, it is complicated to photograph the characters entered in the entry fields 3.4 for titles, etc. with a plate-making camera, and it is not a desirable method, but it is possible to use a character processing device such as a word processor and an image display device such as a CRT display. may be used to specify the layout such as the print position number and print size, and the explanatory text. In this case, a large number of types of print position, print size, etc. are prepared in advance under specific conditions, and data input is made so that selection can be made with a simple key operation, and only an explanatory text etc. is input. There are various input methods, but it is desirable that it be a simple method that anyone can use. By using such character processing devices and image display devices, it is possible to express illustrations around photos, or surround photos (scenes) with hearts or other designs, and layout-free print processing devices and image display devices can be used. If a display device is used, input information can be sent to the laboratory using a recording means such as a mini-floppy disk, and processing operations in the laboratory can be simplified and speeded up.

Note that various known methods can be adopted for receiving (inputting) format information.

(2) Preliminary work A in the laboratory, reading/input of format information If the order reception at the intermediary store does not depend on the character processing device, image display device, etc. mentioned above, but depends on the order form shown in Figure 2. In a laboratory, format information is input during reading using a CRT display and a graphic input means using a light pen, a digitizer, or the like.

When using a layout card prepared in advance as shown in FIGS. 2(B), (C), and (D), the CPU You can select a format pattern stored in . Also, in this case, multiple format patterns are displayed on the screen, and any one of them is displayed.
One can be selected with a light pen, or by moving the cursor and pressing a selection key.

Furthermore, even when using a digitizer, by placing the format card directly at a predetermined position on the digitizer and selecting a format pattern pre-stored in the digitizer, it can be used as a means for reading character information or negative information. It is possible to specify the relationship with screen layout information.

When the orderer uses layout cards that can be freely combined as shown in FIGS. 2(E) and 2(F), the formatting can be specified using, for example, a digitizer. That is, in this case, the size of the figure can be determined by specifying one point each on the top, bottom, left and right lines of the print card 5 in the layout card placed at a specified position on the digitizer in the actual figure shape. print size), position or center of figure (print position, exposure center)
It is possible to calculate all information such as , vertical print, horizontal print, etc.

B4 character input Input the characters written in the title entry field 3 and explanatory text entry 4114 shown in Fig. 2 and information on the entry (print) position using known input means such as tablet input, OCR input, manual key input, etc. do. As described above, if this information has already been input by the orderer at the distributor using a character processing device and an image display device, the character input operation at this stage is not necessary.

C. Negative information input This is the input of the negative (frame) number etc. specified by the orderer. Generally reorder pudding! The film to be processed is a cut film cut into 3 to 6 frames, and therefore, information on the negative (frame) number is generally distance information from the cutting tip. Films for reorder printing are usually provided with a notch for specifying the screen, and the negatives (frames) can be specified with high accuracy based on the distance information and notch position information.

As a specific example of the means for inputting negative (frame) information, the position information of the negative (frame) to be printed may be input using a digitizer, or Information may also be input using the reorder print data conversion method described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 162736.

D. Negative judgment Negative judgment is performed manually or automatically by judging various image data such as color correction information (B, G, R, density), format information (manufacturer, sensitivity, etc.), light source information, etc.
This is inputting and memorizing work.

The negative determination work can be performed using various known methods or devices 1. That is, (a) manual judgment is one in which an operator visually judges a negative image and inputs correction data. By using a pre-read notch as an information input means or the reorder acceptance machine described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 162736/1985, the judgment information is inputted at the time of use in the negative information reading means. Alternatively, the information can be input using known information input means such as manual key input, tablet input, OCR, etc.

(b) Negative automatic determination is to automatically perform negative determination by using a color analyzer, etc. As a negative determination means, for example, an automatic image determination device described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-204537 is used. The negative determining means described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-41416, the negative determining means using a known negative scanning Jung method such as scanning a negative surface using a flying spot, etc. may be used. . (C) Negative judgment by print simulation is described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-9136,
The image observation device described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-21734 or Japanese Patent Application No. 57-2093205),
This method uses a positive image observation device using a monitor television or the like described in the specification of No. 57-209321 as a print simulator to observe frame images and determine the amount of color correction.

The judgment information by the above-mentioned negative judgment means is sent online or via a recording medium to an automatic photoprinting apparatus, which will be described later. Further, the negative determination means may be incorporated in an automatic photographic printing apparatus to be described later.

E. Filing The format information, character information, negative information, and negative judgment information from A to D above are organized for each negative order form, and in the case of offline filing, magnetic tape, paper tape,
Writing is performed on a transfer medium such as a floppy disk or bubble memory, and in the online case, writing is performed on a temporary storage medium via a transfer medium such as an optical fiber.

(3) Printing work Once the previous work mentioned above has been completed and all the information has been gathered, the photo printing work will begin. As described above, the automatic photo printing apparatus that can perform layout free printing includes: B1: Negative transport means, B2: Print frame designation means for changing print magnification/direction, B3: Niblint type two-dimensional movement means, B4: Exposure means, B5: Character printing or printing means, B8: Photographic paper transport means, and B7 for controlling these
It is composed of two sub-controls, and each of these configurations can be performed using known techniques as described later.
Specific examples of each configuration will be sequentially described below.

A. Negative conveyance means FIG. 3 shows an example of a negative conveyance means, which automatically conveys cant film (up to 6 frames). Car/) Film F is fed from the direction of arrow A manually or by automatic feeding means (not shown), and is fed through the conveyance guide I.
It is sent to the main feed roller 12A side by cut feed roller IIA while being regulated by OA. Negative feed motor 1
According to the rotation of the main feed rollers 12A and 12B operated by the main feed rollers 3, the cut film F is conveyed to the exposure section where the lens barrel is located above. A notch detection section 15 is arranged in the exposure section, and detects a notch in the cant film F.
When the notch of the frame to be printed is detected according to the negative information, the rotation of the cart feed reroller 11A and the main feed rollers 12A, 12B is stopped to position the frame to be printed. When the positioning is completed, the crimping solenoid 16 is activated, the crimping plate 17 is lowered, and the cut film F is fixed to the exposure section. Exposure is performed in this state, but if the frame to be printed is 90 degrees off from the normal shooting direction, so-called vertical photography, or if the format information specifies that the image should be printed at a different angle. The negative carrier rotating motor 18 is operated to rotate the negative carrier 18 and change the frame direction under the cut film F. In order to function in this way, the negative carrier 19 is configured in a disc shape and is fixed to the negative carrier fixing portion 19A via a bearing mechanism. The cut films F are sequentially printed, and when printing is completed on all of them, the main feed rollers 12A, 12B and the cut feed roller 11B rotate, and the cut films F are discharged in the direction of the arrow B without being regulated by the conveyance guide IOH. In the illustrated negative conveying means, cut feed roller 11A4 + main feed roller 12A
The distance between M main feed reroller 12B → cut feed reroller IIB is 3 full screen frames (38X 3 = 114m/m
) or 5 frames of half screen (19X 5=95'm/
m) or less. Suppose that the length of cut film F is 6 frames of full screen (38X &=228m/
m), when the first screen (frame) is at the exposure position, the leading edge of the film is still on the cut feed roller 11.
When the 6th screen (frame) is at the exposure position, the leading edge of the film is cut off by the feed roller 11.
Therefore, the negative carrier 19 cannot be rotated in this state. Therefore, when rotating the negative carrier 19, the cant feed roller IIA
, IIB are operated by actuating a solenoid or the like (not shown) to escape to the state shown by the imaginary line.

Note that by increasing the diameter of the negative carrier 19,
Although it is possible to design the device so that the escape mechanism described above does not need to be provided, it increases the size of the device, which is not desirable.

Furthermore, the negative carrier 19 of this embodiment can be replaced with one for transporting other types of film. In this case, only the main body of the negative carrier 19 can be replaced, or the negative carrier 19 can be configured to be replaced together with the frame including the bearing mechanism.

Further, it is of course possible to rotate the negative carrier rotation unit manually instead of automatically using a negative carrier rotation motor. In this case, it is desirable to provide a display indicating the rotational position of the negative carrier to the operator.

If the film to be printed is a disc film, a transport means for disc films is used.

B. Print magnification changing means Various configurations can be adopted as the print magnification changing means, including (a) one that changes the object-to-image distance as shown in Figure 4, and (b) a lens as shown in Figure 5. (C) A zoom lens.

The system shown in FIG. 4 attempts to change the print magnification by changing the distance between the object images.As shown in (A), when the distance between the negative 20 and the lens 21 is X-, the negative 20 The image 23A is projected onto the photographic paper 22 located at a distance of k. In order to obtain an image 23B having a print magnification different from that of this image 23A, the lens 21 is moved to X2. In this method, it is possible to change the magnification to any desired magnification using only one lens, but a mechanism for moving the lens 21 and photographic paper 22 is required, and in this case, the positional relationship between the two satisfies the following formula 1 (%) It is necessary to control the In the case shown in Figure 5, several types of lenses with different focal lengths are prepared.
The format is automatically selected according to the format information. Various configurations can be considered for how to arrange the lenses and control their movement, and FIG. 5 shows an example of this.
A, 32B, and this lens 30A
, 30B is a guide member 33A.

It is fixed via a lens board 35 to a slide plate 34 supported by 33B. A pole screw 37 is engaged with the slide plate 34 by a motor 36 via a gear mechanism. In the illustrated state, the lens 30A is in the exposure position, and in order to switch to the lens 30B, the motor 36 is activated to rotate the pole screw 37, and the slide plate 34 is rotated.
This is done by moving parallelly along the guide members 33A and 33B. Of course, in this case the operation of the motor 36 is controlled by the controller according to the format information. In addition, in the case of the illustrated embodiment, when replacing with another type of lens, for example, when replacing a 135 half-size lens with a 135 full-size lens, the lenses 30A and 30B are replaced. The entire lens board 35 is removed, and another type is set according to the positioning pins 38. Furthermore, in order to eliminate such complexity, the third
Like the negative carrier 18 shown in the figure, the lens board 35
It is also possible to arrange the lens group in a disk shape, arrange lens groups of different types and magnifications on the same circumference, and freely select one of them according to format information.

In addition to the method described above, there is a method of using a zoom lens (not shown) as a means for changing the print magnification. In this method, by automatically controlling zooming according to the format information, it is possible to set various print magnifications with a single lens while keeping the object-to-image distance constant; however, on the other hand, the lens is not effective. However, the disadvantage is that the lens performance is slightly inferior compared to a single lens.

C-Print Direction Change Print Frame Specifying Means (a) Using an image rotation lens.

As the image rotation lens, it is possible to use the lens described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-204535 filed by the applicant of the present invention. When using an image rotation lens,
As shown in FIG. 6, no matter what direction the frame images of the negative film are photographed, by controlling the rotation of the image rotation lens 40, it is possible to print in a desired direction. That is, when trying to print frame images shot in different directions on the negative films 41B and 41G in the same direction as those on the negative film 41A, the image rotation lens 40 is rotated by 45 degrees and 90 degrees, respectively. All you have to do is control it. Therefore, it is sufficient to control the rotation of the image rotation lens 40 in units of 45 degrees, but for layout free printing, it is desirable to configure the image rotation lens 40 so that the printing direction can be freely changed by 360 degrees.

(b) By controlling the reflecting mirror.

As shown in FIG. 7, foul mirrors 42A, 42B, 42G
are combined so as to have a function completely equivalent to the function of the image rotation lens system described above, and the rotation is controlled in the same manner as described in item a above. This method has the advantage that a general lens can be used as the lens 43.

(c) Caused by changing the direction of negative film.

As shown in FIG. 8, the printing direction is to be changed by changing the arrangement direction of the negative film 41 [1].To change the arrangement direction of the negative film 410, as shown in FIG. This can be easily done by controlling the rotation of the negative carrier 19.

D. Printing two-dimensional transportation means Deciding on which part of a sheet of photographic paper to print on is an important issue in layout-free printing, but there is no known technology to print multiple different scenes on a single sheet of photographic paper. It can be applied to layout free printing. However, for example, JP-A-51-21456
No. 52-104918, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-104919, and Utility Model Application Publication No. 50-67926, No. 56-
14064, No. 56-134035, etc. are not sufficient for layout free printing, and these technologies should be further developed to be compatible with layout free printing. There is a need.

As a method that can be directly applied to layout free printing, there is a patent application filed in 1983 filed by the patent applicant.
What is described in the specifications and drawings of No.-208660 and No. 57-208661, that is, roll film l
There is a method and apparatus for printing the scene of one sheet of water or disc film onto one sheet of photographic paper.

To make the print position freely movable two-dimensionally,
There are methods that are broadly classified into those that move the photographic paper and those that move the negative film transport unit or lens, but either method can be applied to perform layout-free printing.

Figure 9 shows an example of a printing system two-dimensional moving means when using a roll of photographic paper, and Figure 10 shows an example when using photographic paper cut to a certain size. It is.

In FIG. 9, photographic paper 5o, which is prepared and wound around a reel (not shown), is attached to a guide roller 51A.

The baking frame 52 is placed in a state where the first loop is formed between the baking frames 51B and 51B.
While being guided by the positioning pin 52A,
A feed roller 53A rotated by a motor 53.

A second loop is formed by passing IJ through 53B, kite rollers 51c and 51D, and is conveyed to a winding device (not shown).

The first loop and the second loop include an accumulation sensor 54A,
54B checks the formation state of the loop, and this information controls the rotation of the sub-drive motors provided upstream of the guide roller 51A and downstream of the guide roller 510, so that the loop is always kept constant. controlled to maintain the same size.

The fixed size is a so-called "play" size that does not cause damage to the photographic paper 50 when the unit indicated by the two-dot chain line is moved by a mechanism to be described later. A pole screw 58 rotated by a motor 55 is engaged with the printing frame 52 via a gear mechanism, and by rotating the motor 55 in the forward or reverse direction according to the format information, the unit reciprocates in a straight line, and the printing screen is changed. Photographic paper 5
It is controlled to be at a predetermined position above 0. By providing a pair of mechanisms for performing such movement at angles of 80 degrees, it is possible to control the movement of the unit two-dimensionally. In the illustrated embodiment, the photographic paper 50 is moved in the longitudinal direction by feed rollers 53A, 53B, and the unit does not move two-dimensionally.

57 indicates a paper mask, 4 orthogonal to each other.
By controlling the movement of the thin plates 57A, 57B, 57G, and 57D in the directions of the arrows by motors or solenoids 58A and 58B, it is possible to freely create paper masks in various directions and sizes based on the format information shown in Figure 2. It can be formed into

In addition, the motor or solenoid 58A, 58B is a thin plate 5.
It may be provided every 7A to 57D.

FIG. 10 shows an example of a printing system two-dimensional moving means when cut photographic paper is used. The cut photographic paper 60 is placed on the substrate 62 according to the positioning pin θ1, and the presser plate 63 It is pressed down to make it smooth. The substrate 82 is configured so that the photographic paper can be moved two-dimensionally by a combination of a mechanism similar to the linear reciprocating mechanism of the unit described in FIG. 9 and a rank and pinion mechanism. In this case as well, the paper mask forming means shown in FIG. 9 is placed on the photographic paper. Although not shown, the photographic paper on which the photo printing, text printing, or printing has been completed is discharged in the direction of the arrow by the conveyance means, and new photographic paper is supplied.

E. Character printing or printing means The character printing or printing part is placed, for example, in one part of the paper mask forming means in FIG. 9 with 7OA.

70B.

The structure of the character burning or printing section varies. That is, the input/processing methods and devices for character-related information are currently in the process of progressing rapidly, and most of these can be adopted. For example, characters are generated on a CRT display, LED display, plasma display, liquid crystal display, etc. according to the printing or printing information, and then printed using a contact method, a projection method using an optical system, or an image transmission method using an image fiber. It may be printed on paper or by printing means commonly used in word processors and computer printers.

Further, printing does not necessarily need to be performed at the printing position, but may be performed in a wide range from the stage after photographic printing to the stage after washing and drying the print using a dedicated printing device.

F. Photographic paper conveyance means Although there are differences between when using rolled photographic paper and when using cut photographic paper, the one that can be adopted in a normal automatic photoprinting device is a correction to the point that the width of photographic paper is wider. You can use all of them if you do this.

The conveyance of the photographic paper at the printing position has been described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to effectively perform the above-mentioned layout free printing. In particular, it is not limited to one film or one sheet, and can be freely selected from among the films desired by the user.
