The poster production unit 260 is provided with calculation means such as a CPU capable of calculation, and performs digital image synthesis processing.

The poster production unit 260 is a unit for printing and producing a user synthesized movie poster that synthesizes a user face image in place of a movie performer's face in a movie poster image selected by the user. It is to extract the movie performer's face from the movie poster image through various known image extraction and analysis algorithms and replace it with the user's face image. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a user composite movie poster in which a performer's face of a movie poster is replaced with a user's face may be generated and printed, and discharged through the movie poster outlet 270. Therefore, the user can synthesize the poster into the face of the protagonist in a movie that he or she has enjoyed or an impressive movie.

The user-synthesized movie poster is output as a photo paper in the same size as the actual movie poster size.

Furthermore, the synthesized image can be transmitted online and also to a user's mobile phone.

On the other hand, when the poster production unit 260 produces a user composite movie poster, the user's face may be synthesized as a full synthesis mode or a partial synthesis mode.

The overall composite mode is a mode in which a user composite movie poster that synthesizes the entire user face image is printed and produced instead of the entire face of the movie performer in the movie poster image selected by the user.

The partial synthesis mode is a mode of printing and producing a user synthetic movie poster that synthesizes the eyes, nose, and mouth of the user's face image in place of the eyes, nose, and mouth of the movie performer face in the movie poster image selected by the user. The movie poster is not the entire face, but the eyes, nose, and mouth of the user's face.

On the other hand, when the poster production unit 260 produces the user composite movie poster, the image of the user composite movie poster can be corrected by the user by providing an image correction screen through the correction touch screen panel 230. Accordingly, the user can pretend to correct his / her face to enter the user composite movie poster through the correction screen and be provided with a movie poster containing the corrected user face.

Furthermore, in order to easily receive the correction for the user's face, it can be implemented so that the correction is automatically performed only when the user's mood is input. That is, in the case of manufacturing in the partial synthesis mode, the user's mood state is input and the shape of the mouth and eyes of the user's face image is automatically corrected according to the user's mood state. For example, if the user inputs 'feel good', the mouth and eyes of his face to enter the user's composite movie poster are corrected to have a smiling shape. On the other hand, if the user inputs 'feeling depressed', the mouth and eyes of his face to enter the user's composite movie poster are corrected to be in a depressed shape. In addition, if the user inputs 'feeling sadness', it is corrected so that the mouth and eyes of his face to enter the user's composite movie poster are crying.

Furthermore, the poster production unit 260 may print and provide a QR code including web information of a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of a movie introduction video to a user composite movie poster as shown in FIG. 6. Therefore, the user can enjoy the introductory video by reading the QR code printed on the user's synthetic movie poster by using his smartphone or the like, accessing the introductory video URL of the movie printed on the user's synthetic movie poster.

For reference, in the case of the QR code, which is a kind of identification code, 0 and 1 are classified according to whether the “checkered pattern” of the data area is light or dark. The denser the checkered pattern, the more data can be stored. Depending on the amount of information entered, the number of checkerboards can be different. Currently, version 1 (21 checkerboards × 21 vertically) to version 40 (177 × 177) is possible. When converting the highest version 40 to data, it is 23,648 bits. The number can hold 7,089 numbers, 4,296 English letters, and 2,953 binaries.

Meanwhile, the sticker photo production device may include a joystick that adjusts a photographing direction of the camera unit. Therefore, a leaflet (except for the face) is displayed on the screen, and the customer can be implemented to take a picture while viewing the image of himself reflected on the lens using the joystick. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, since various angles can be generated through the joystick adjustment, it is possible for customers to directly produce the images.
