The studio server 100 is a server provided on the studio side for photographing a customer's photograph. When a photograph is photographed using the digital camera 110 in the studio, a photographed image is generated in the form of a digital file. The digital camera 110 may be wired to the studio server 100 or transmitted to the studio server 100 via a short distance wireless network as shown in the figure.

A customer can input user information, photo type information, and print type information using a terminal connected to the studio server 100. [ Preferably, the studio server 100 and the user terminal 500 carried by the customer are connected via a short-range wireless network, and the customer uses his or her own user terminal 500 to display user information, photo type information, And is configured to input information.

Here, the user terminal 500 is a terminal of a smart phone or a tablet PC carried by the customer. The studio server 100 and the user terminal 500 are each provided with a Bluetooth, a Wi-Fi ), Zigbee, or the like may be provided. These short-range wireless communication modules provide an environment in which customers can enter the above information anywhere in the studio or outside the studio. The user terminal 500 and the local print terminal 400 also communicate via the local area wireless communication network and the local print terminal 400 authenticates the photo printing operation for the user terminal 500 by checking the unique code, And provides a photo printing service for authenticated users.

Also, the user terminal 500 communicates with the correction center server 200 via the mobile network 800. The user terminal 500 is close to the studio server 100 and the local print terminal 400 in the studio photographing and printing process, but can freely move until photographing and printing are completed. Therefore, the user is notified of the print preparation completion status by communicating with the correction center server 200 through the broadband mobile communication network, and is provided with the geographical information on the local print terminal 400.

The correction center server 200 is a server that receives a shot image from the studio server 100 and performs digital correction. The correction center server 200 and the studio server 100 may be connected through a LAN (Local Area Network) 600.

In the illustrated example, one studio server 100 is connected to the correction center server 200, but in reality, a plurality of studio servers 100 may be connected to the correction center server 200 in a star topology form. That is, the correction center server 200 receives the photographed images from the plurality of the studio servers 100, corrects the photographed images, generates the corrected printing images, and assigns them to the local printing terminals 400 in each region It is a central server that performs tasks.

Here, the LAN 600 may be configured as a network connected to buildings within a few kilometers, but it is also possible that the network range is expanded nationwide and configured in a WAN (Wide Area Network) form.

The correction center server 200 is provided with an image management database 210 for storing and managing a shot image and a print image for each user and a customer information management database 210 for storing and managing user information including at least name and date of birth of the customer 220). Each database may be implemented as a separate database server.

The image management database 210 separately stores a photographed image, which is an original image photographed in a studio, and a printing image that has been subjected to the correction processing, and both the photographed image and the printing image are stored in association with the customer information. Therefore, the image data can be browsed by the correction center server 200 and browsed together with the customer information when browsing the shot image file and the image file for printing.

The customer information management database 220 stores information such as customer's studio visit history, photo printing history, and the like, together with information capable of identifying customers (which may further include identification information other than the name and date of birth information) Management.

As shown in the figure, the correction center server 200 has four modules in relation to photo correction and printing. These modules may be software modules that are implemented by programming in the correction center server 200. The four modules are a machine correction module 230, a correction job management module 240, a verification module 250, and a print job management module 260.

The machine correction module 230 integrally corrects at least one of background color, luminosity, and chromaticity of the photographed image according to the photographic type information to generate a machine-corrected image. In this example, the type of photograph means a form in which a customer wants to print a photograph, and is composed of categories such as friendship, couple, profile, proof, family, dog. The mechanical correction module 230 may set the photographed image to a mechanical image by a predetermined program so as to prevent quality irregularities from occurring in the work performed by the respective experts before performing the correction work by assigning the photographed images to a plurality of experts. To-be-corrected.

For example, when a photograph taken by a customer is to be printed as a profile image, the machine correction module 230 corrects the photographed image by applying a filtering value of the luminosity and chromaticity to the profile image. As another example, when a photograph taken by a customer is to be printed as a proof photograph, the machine correction module 230 may assign R, G, and B values for unifying the background color to white. The shot image is converted to a machine-corrected image via machine calibration.

The correction job management module 240 is a module that classifies machine-corrected images according to the type of photographs and assigns them to the correction expert terminal 300 and receives and manages the corrected images after the correction job is completed by the correction expert terminal 300. [

If the correction expert terminal 300 is in an offline state, even if the correction center server 200 assigns a correction job to the correction expert terminal 300, the correction operation can not proceed immediately. Therefore, in order to perform a quick correction operation, a correction expert who is in a state of being connected to the correction center server 200 in real time selects the correction work by reverse selection. Specific examples of the assignment of the correction job by the correction job management module 240 will be described later with reference to FIG.

The acceptance module 250 is a module for accepting the acceptance image according to predetermined rules. For example, when the correction items are corrected by the machine calibration operation (in other words, when the equalization of the quality is damaged), a predetermined value is set by some inspection rules, such as when a mistake is found by zooming in a face of a person The image processing apparatus 100 may perform filtering processing to meet the prescribed value or to notify the correction specialist terminal 300 that the verification image is not acceptable and instruct rework. If the inspection is passed, the image is converted into an image for printing.

The print job management module 260 is a module for assigning a local print terminal 400 for printing a print image and sending a print image and a unique code for print permission to the assigned local print terminal 400.

As shown in FIG. 1, the local print terminal 400 is also connected to the correction center server 200 through the WAN 700. That is, the correction expert terminal 300 and the local print terminal 400 may be connected to the correction center server 200 in a nationwide range or in a global range to perform a correction operation or provide a user location based print service .

When the print image is generated as described above, the print job management module 260 requests the user terminal 500 for the user location information by referring to the user information related to the print image. For example, a short message or a multimedia message may be transmitted to the user terminal 500 to notify the user of the completion of the print preparation and request the user location information. As another example, a push notification message may be transmitted to a dedicated app installed in the user terminal 500. [ If the user terminal 500 permits the location notification service to the dedicated app, the location information of the user can be detected by receiving the positioning information from the GPS module from the user terminal 500.

The print job management module 260 receives the current location information from the user terminal 500 and extracts the local print terminal 400 corresponding to the user location information. For example, information of the local print terminals 400 located within a radius of 2 km of the user location is extracted and information of the extracted local print terminals 400 is provided to the user terminal 500. The customer will be able to browse the local print terminals 400 located around him or her through the dedicated app and select one desired local print terminal 400 among them.

The print job management module 260 sends a print image and a unique code for print permission to the local print terminal 400 selected by the user.
