Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve an efficiency of a design editing by reading a picture pattern designated by an input means of a picture conte pattern stored in a pattern memory, displaying a picture conte image on a desired area laid out on a display means and outputting by an image output means. CONSTITUTION:When a square plate forming a picture conte is designated by an input means 3, a display control means 2a recognizes a size of the square plate, and automatically sets a display rate of a picture conte pattern. Then, when a selection command for displaying a required pattern of the picture conte patterns inputted from the input means 3 on a display means 4 is performed, the display control means 2a retrieves a pattern memory 1, transfers the required pattern to the display means 4 to display. By repeating this operation, a picture conte image is formed and displayed. Herein, when a command for outputting a layout and the picture conte image by the input means 3 is performed, a control means 2 extracts a raster data constituting the layout and the picture conte image to output to a recording paper by an image output means 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a storyboard creation device that outputs a model's pose as a storyboard image to be published on printed matter.

[Conventional technology]

FIGS. 7(a) and 7(b) are schematic diagrams illustrating the conventional storyboard creation operation. In FIG. 7(a), 31 is an output rough sheet, and credit sales 32 to 37 are arranged.

32a to 34a are rough sketches drawn by a designer, for example. 38 is a character type information about the product, such as size.

It shows the area where nine colors of the pattern etc. are printed.

In the figure (b), 32b to 34b are diagrams depicting the image of the product based on the rough sketches 32a to 34a shown in the figure (a), which are close to the actual model and product.

Next, the storyboard creation operation will be explained.

First, after creating the rough sheet 31, for example, a designer
etc., draw rough sketches 32a to 34a on credit sales 32 to 34 of the current product and the outline of the composition (conte) of the model that enhances this product image. It is only what is shown,
This is a simple sketch showing the balance between the model's head and body.

Here, line diagrams 32b to 34b are drawn based on the layout and composition of the product and model to be actually printed.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, the rough sketch 32a drawn on the corner plates 32 to 34
34a has a higher level of abstraction than the diagrams 32b to 34b, so there is a big gap in balance with the actual diagrams 32b to 34b. Problems such as poor balance often caused the product image to be insufficiently expressed, and the rectangular plate had to be reconfigured.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a storyboard creation device that can output a rough sketch image in which a rough sketch drawn on a square board becomes optimal line drawing information. do.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A storyboard creation device according to the present invention includes a pattern memory that stores in advance a storyboard pattern in which a model's pose is broken down into parts, and a storyboard pattern that is stored in this pattern memory. a display control means for reading out a required picture pattern specified by the input means and forming and displaying a storyboard image on a desired area laid out on the display means; and an image output means for outputting the image.

[Effect]

In this invention, the display control means reads out a required picture pattern specified by the input means from among the storyboard patterns stored in the pattern memory, and displays the storyboard image on a desired area laid out on the display means. Display the formation. Further, the image output means outputs the layout and storyboard image displayed on the first display means.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the structure of a storyboard creating apparatus according to the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a pattern memory in which storyboard patterns (vector data) constituting poses are stored in advance. Reference numeral 2 denotes a control means, which includes a display control means 2a of the present invention. The display control means 2a causes the display means 4 to form and display a desired pattern among the storyboard patterns stored in the pattern memory 1 in response to a selection command sent from the input means 3. Incidentally, a square plate is displayed on the display means 4 according to the layout information. Reference numeral 5 denotes an image output means, which is composed of, for example, a laser beam printer, and outputs the layout and storyboard images displayed on the display means 4 in response to an image output command sent from the input means 3.

Next, the operation will be explained.

At the stage when the square board is displayed on the display means 4 according to the layout information, if the input means 3 specifies the square board on which a storyboard is to be created, the display control means 2a recognizes the size of the square board and displays the storyboard pattern. Automatically set the rate. Next, when a selection command is issued to display a desired pattern on the display means 4 from among the storyboard patterns inputted from the input means 3, the display control means 2a searches the pattern memory 1 and displays the desired pattern (storyboard pattern). The parts constituting the pattern (details of which will be described later) are transferred to the display means 4 and displayed. This operation is repeated until the storyboard pattern is formed. Through this operation, a storyboard pattern, that is, a storyboard image is formed and displayed on the display means 4.

Here, when a command is issued from the input means 3 to output the layout and storyboard images displayed on the display means 4, the control means 2 extracts raster data constituting the layout and storyboard images, and outputs the raster data to the image output means 4. For example, a storyboard image is output on recording paper.

etc. are stored.

Next, the storyboard image output operation according to the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a storyboard image created according to the present invention, in which numeral 21 denotes a square board and shows the state displayed on the display means 4.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating the storyboard image output operation according to the present invention. Note that (1) to (30) indicate each step.

Using a program that stores storyboard image creation procedures in advance, the control means 2 displays on the display means 4 a menu for presenting the following requests to the operator (1). First, the control means 2
displays the square plate designation on the display means 4. In response to this display, when the operator specifies a square plate using the input means 3, such as a keyboard or pointing device (2), the control unit recognizes the square plate (3), and then the control unit 2 The display means 4 displays the next request, that is, the posture parts selection command (4), and waits for the input of the posture parts selection command (5). Here, for example, the sitting pose pattern 11 is displayed.
When a command to select b is input from the input means 3 (6)
, the display control means 2a accesses the posture parts storage section 11 of the pattern memory 1 (7), and forms and displays a sitting pose pattern 11b on the square plate 21 specified on the display means 4 (8). Next, the control means 2 displays the next request on the display means 4, that is, a shoulder part selection command (3),
Waits for input of a shoulder part selection command (10). here.

For example, when a command to select the horizontal shoulder pattern 12a is input from the input means 3 (11), the display control means 2a accesses the shoulder part i receptacle 12 (12), and selects the corner specified on the display means 4. A horizontal shoulder pattern 12a is formed and displayed on the board 21 (13). Next, the control means 2 displays the next request on the display means 4, that is, a facial parts selection command (
14), Waiting for input of facial parts selection command (15)
. Here, when a command to select, for example, the front oblique face pattern 13d is input from the input means 3 (16), the display control means 2a accesses the face parts storage section 13 (17).
, the front diagonal face pattern 13d is formed and displayed on the specified corner plate 21 on the display means 4 (18), and then the control means 2 displays the next request on the display means 4, that is, a hand part selection command. (18), and waits for the input of a hand part selection command (20). Here, for example, the previous year pattern 14b is used for the left hand, and the lowered hand pattern 14 is used for the right hand.
When a command to select a is input from the input means 3 (21
), the display control means 2a accesses the hand pattern storage section 14 (22), and displays the previous year's pattern 14b on the specified square plate 21 on the display means 4.

A down hand pattern 14a is formed and displayed (23). Next, the control means 2 displays the next request, that is, a foot parts selection command, on the display means 4 (24), and waits for input of the foot parts selection command (25). Here, when a command to select, for example, the aligned bar pattern 15c is input from the input means 3 (26), the display control means 2a accesses the bar pattern storage section 15 (27), and specifies it on the display means 4. forming and displaying an alignment foot pattern 15c on the square plate 21 that has been
The storyboard image shown in FIG. 4 is displayed (28). Here, an image output command is waited for (29), and when the image output command is input from the input means 3, a storyboard image is output from the image output means 5 (30). Note that moving and changing the size of the storyboard image within the credit sale can be performed at any time.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a diagram corresponding to the storyboard shown in FIG. 4.

As can be seen from this figure, there is almost no difference between the balance of the storyboard image and the balance of the diagram, and it is possible to output a diagram that is almost comparable to the storyboard.

In the above embodiment, the pose of a woman was explained as an example, but if storyboard patterns for children, adult men and women are registered in advance, multiple storyboard images can be similarly output on one credit card. can. Furthermore, if a complicated pose is specified, it may be registered in the pattern memory 1 each time. For example, an image read by an image scanner or the like may be registered in the pattern memory 1, or a storyboard pattern formed on the display means 4 may be registered. Furthermore, standard patterns are registered as storyboard patterns, and the storyboard patterns are scaled or moved according to the size of the corner board to be displayed at optimal positions.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the storyboard pattern is inserted into the created square board, but it is also possible to create the storyboard pattern of the desired size first and then create the frame of the square board. Needless to say, it's a good thing.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention includes a pattern memory that stores in advance a storyboard pattern in which a model's pose is broken down into parts, and a required picture pattern specified by an input means from among the storyboard patterns stored in this pattern memory. The present invention includes a display control means for reading out a storyboard image and forming and displaying a storyboard image on a desired area laid out on a display means, and an image output means for outputting the layout and storyboard image displayed on the display means. This method has the excellent advantage of allowing efficient design editing, since it is possible to output a storyboard image with optimal line drawing information by greatly reducing corrections to corner plates.
