Display the decorated example on the display screen in the center of the desired portable device. For example, F 1 in FIG. 4 shows an example of the screen display of the image display 3 when a mobile phone is selected and clicked as a mobile device, and an example of a decorated mobile phone is displayed as an image on the screen It will be introduced in In this example, the decoration image memory 7 of the decoration image creation device 1 or the decoration example of the mobile phone recorded in the data memory is read and displayed sequentially, and this example image is also driven and clicked by the operation of the mouse. Later, it is possible to expand or change the direction, and the program for such operation is incorporated as a part of the program for image creation. Among the displayed decoration images, if there is a sample of customer preference, the above-mentioned sample figures of F 2 to F 6 and examples of portable equipment decoration in the center of the screen F 1 and portable equipment products displayed in a tree format Another decoration example The image display of F 8 is erased, and only the desired decoration image or decoration example is enlarged and shown on the entire screen of the image display (not shown), etc. It is also possible to display the details of and details of the decoration applied to the portable device as appropriate.

 When a customer wishes to create a decorative image or a decorative seal, such as displaying a decorative figure or a decorated portable device using a sample of decorative examples, input from the controller board to move on to the process of creating a decorative image, Go to S4.

 In step S4, for example, it is a step of judging that an input for starting a creation operation of a decoration image by the decoration image creation device, such as an input of a password, is made. Once the entry of the pass card etc. and payment of the usage fee of the seal manufacturing device (when the customer operates the seal manufacturing device by himself / herself to create the decorative seal) are paid, the process proceeds to the image creation processing start step S5. . On the other hand, if no password has been entered, the process proceeds to step S6.

 Step S5 is a step of starting creation work of a decoration image. In step S5, for example, while displaying an image as shown in FIG. 8, the decorative graphic or decorative image sample is selected according to the customer's request by the key operation of the mouse 12 or the controller board, and the sample is displayed. Start the decoration work of the portable device that the customer wants for reference.

For example, in the display of the image display 3 as shown in FIG. 8, the image of the portable device that the customer wants to decorate and the decoration figure are displayed, and the sample figure displayed in the thumbnail format on the left of the screen is Since samples of decorative figures and decorative patterns are read from the memory and displayed sequentially, move the mouse pointer F9 to select the desired decorative figure for the customer, and then select the figure F 1 When 0 is clicked, the shape display is reversed and it becomes a processable state (also called a drive state). If you drag and drop it to the center of, the figure F 11 can be adjusted in color and shape with the mouse 12.

 Adjustment of the figure F1 1 by the mouse 12 is change or adjustment of the color of the figure, enlargement / reduction of the figure, or adjustment of the spacing between the individual figures and patterns. Finished adjustment Figures etc. F 1 1 The mouse pointer F 9 is used to surround the part necessary to decorate the machine, and after driving it, the portable device's shadow F 1 2 displayed on the display screen Dragging and moving to the top, positioning of figures and patterns, and then removing the driving state of figures and the like to display the normal display state, the same state as when a portable device is decorated is displayed on the screen. can do.

 If the data of the portable device for which the decoration is desired is not recorded in the portable device shape specification memory 24 or if there is no figure or the like desired by the customer in the decorative graphic memory 25, a new portable device The device, figure, etc. are fetched by the device figure capture device 5 and recorded in the temporary memory 26. After the temporary memory 26 is recorded, it is displayed on the left of the screen as a sample and can be used similarly to the portable device and other decorative figures recorded in the data memory.

 Step S6 is a step of waiting for the input of the password in step S4. In step S4, the process remains in step S6 until a password or the like is input. The step S6 returns to the step S4 and waits for the input of the pass command again after a predetermined time elapses. It is a routine of input waiting. In this routine, when there is no password input within the set time (in step S6, the set time elapses), the process returns to step S2, and the display on the image display unit is again as shown in FIG. The initial screen will be displayed and will wait for new customers to access the creation of decorative images. .

Step S7 is a step of determining whether the existing decoration image is used as it is or not used when the decoration image desired by the customer is in the memory of the decoration image creating apparatus. Mobile phone brought by the customer in the memory of the decoration image creation device There is an example in which the same device as the device is decorated, and if the customer wants to use the decoration image in the decoration image memory 7 that uses this as a sample, creation of the decoration image becomes easy. For example, when the customer desires to use the sample of the decoration image of the portable device in the memory as it is, since the desired decoration image is displayed on the screen by key input from the controller board, the process proceeds to step S8. . If the existing decoration image is not used in step S7, the process proceeds to step S10.

 In step S8, only the decorative image portion of the decorative image displayed on the image display screen except for the device shadow of the portable device is maintained in the actual size relationship with the portable device to obtain a thin film screen. Is the printing step.

 The graphic etc. of the decorative seal printed in such a dimensional relationship are printed as a graphic etc. of a size meeting the external specification based on the actual dimensions of the external specification of the mobile apparatus. Can be affixed to In step S8, for example, in order to form a decorative seal in which an opening is formed in the functional portion of the portable device, the plotter 6 is operated to perform hole processing or cutting processing on the thin film sheet, and a decorative figure or the like is printed. The process of preparing the decorative sheet attached to the outer surface of the device so that it can be decorated by conforming to the shape, concavo-convex portion or opening of the device is also included. A decorative seal that has been processed to be applied directly to the customer's mobile device is completed.

 When the decorative image created using the decorative image creating device 1 is printed on a transparent resin film, printing is performed by a printing machine in a state where the transparent resin film is attached to a release paper. In addition, even when the transparent resin film on which the image is printed is cut and used as a decorative seal with a shape suitable for pasting on a portable device, or even when an opening is provided in a functional part, the transparent film is stuck on release paper. Processing by a plotter is performed.

 The processed decorative image sticker is affixed to the customer's portable device and delivered on the spot, and the creation of the decorative image desired by the customer is completed (step S 9).

When attaching the finished decorative image sticker to a mobile device, a transparent film is attached. Positioning when sticking the image film to the portable device using the After that, when the printed film is pasted to the portable device while peeling off the release paper, when the release paper is peeled off from the transparent resin film, the work of attaching the decorative image to the portable device is almost finished, Affixing the details and affixing the aspect of the portable device while slightly heating the attached film completes the decorative work of the portable device. In the finishing process of decorative work to apply images, the thin film applied on the outer surface of the device is lightly heated and pressed to fit into the uneven part or opening of the device, and then paste the details or a part of the portable device The decoration of the customer's equipment can be delivered and decorated with the image desired by the customer on the spot requested by the customer. Ends (step S 9).

 In step S 10, if there is no decorative image to be used as it is in the memory used by the decorative image creation device, there is a sample in the memory such as a decorative figure to be used as a reference for the customer to create the decorative image. It is a step which judges whether it is.

 When creating a decoration image, when not using the existing decoration image directly, for example, the arrangement or background of the decoration image in the decoration image memory 7 uses the decoration image recorded in the memory, When it is desired to create a decorative image by replacing the individual graphic with the graphic stored in the decorative graphic memory 25 or the customer's original graphic recorded in the temporary memory 26, step S 1 1 Go to

 If the customer desires to create a decoration image from the very beginning, regardless of the decoration image in the decoration image memory 7, the process proceeds to step S12.

Step S11 is a step of incorporating into the screen only the decorative figures that are desired to be replaced in the sample decorative image. For portable devices that the customer wishes to decorate, only appearances and geometry data are stored in the memory 24 so it is only necessary to capture graphics and the like. For example, when replacing a figure or the like in a decoration image by using a decoration image given to the portable device as a sample, figures, patterns, backgrounds, photographs, characters, etc. used for the replacement are displayed on the screen from memory 25 or 26 Take in If it is not in the memory, the figure, pattern, photograph, etc. brought by the customer will be taken in by the equipment figure fetching device 5 and recorded in the temporary memory 26 and displayed on the screen. When the decoration image of the sample for which the customer desires decoration and the figure for which replacement of part of the decoration image is desired are captured on the screen, the process proceeds to step S13.

 Step S13 is a step of creating a decoration image desired by the customer on the screen of the image display using the figure etc. desired to be replaced and the decoration image of the sample. The task of creating a decorative image while using part of the decorative image in the memory of the image creation device or the appearance of the portable device is the size of a figure, a pattern, a background, a photo, a character, etc. It can be done by changing the color tone, saturation and lightness with the keys on the controller board and replacing them with the figures etc. that make up the decoration image.

 For example, in the mode in which the key is operated for scaling of the figure, the size of the figure can be enlarged by pressing the upper side of the mouse 12 and the size adjustment operation of the figure can be performed It takes place. In addition, in the mode in which the key adjustment operation of the color tone adjustment is performed, the color tone is changed to various color tones by an operation of pressing a position away from the center of the mouse 12 in the vertical and horizontal directions. Furthermore, the brightness of the captured figure etc. can be adjusted in the same manner as the operation of adjusting the size of the figure by operating the mouse 1 2 in the mode in which the adjustment key 4 2 is operated. The saturation of the figure can be adjusted in the same manner as in the saturation adjustment mode by operating the mouse 1 2.

 Such adjustments of color tone etc. should be made as necessary when using photos taken with a camera, such as patterns, patterns, backgrounds, etc. captured on the screen by the device graphic capture device 5 as well as graphics, as decoration figures. By overlaying a decorative image captured as a sample with a graphic adjusted in size, tone, etc., a decorative image desired by the customer is created.

For example, in the movement of a figure or the like displayed on the screen, a portion that is desired to be moved is surrounded by the pointer F 9 and driven, and the portion is moved to the operation of the mouse 12. Therefore, if you drag and drop, you can move on the screen. In this way, when a new figure or the like is moved on the sample decoration image and superimposed on the device shadow of the portable device, the decoration image is created on the screen.

 When a light emitting device is provided in a portable device or a decorative seal used in a portable device having a light emitting device is manufactured, it is preferable to use the light emitting device as a part of the decoration of the portable device. In the decorative seal manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, since the decorative figures and the like can be freely arranged, the light emitting part of the light emitting device and the decorative figures and the like are matched, and the figures and the light emitting part are the decorative functions of the device. It is also easy to perform alignment work to combine to enhance the In addition, when the customer has a desire to provide a light emitting device for the decoration of the device, the decorative seal in which the size and position of the figure and the like are adjusted so that the position of the light emitting portion and the figure for decoration match. When attaching the thin film film of this decorative seal to the device at the same time as manufacturing, attach it to the outer surface of the device so as to cover the light emitting device attached to the device, and attach the light emitting device with the decorative thin film film. In addition, decorative seals can be created to strengthen the light emitting device or protect the light emitting device, and even when the light emitting device is attached to the outer wall of the portable device, the appearance of the device is less likely to be impaired.

The rectifier diode 49 is also thin and can be printed or attached to a thin moon sheet, and its anode is printed on the coil 47 and its cathode is printed on the insulating sheet on the light emitting section 48. Wires 50 are connected.

When attaching the light emitting device 4 6 of such a configuration to the telephone set 5 1, the coil 4 7 is positioned at the antenna unit 52 of the telephone so that the light emitting unit 4 8 is positioned as desired by the user. Light-emitting device 46 is attached to the outer wall of the machine so that it adheres to it. In the light emitting device 46, when the telephone set 51 is in a state of transmitting and receiving a carrier wave during communication, a current is induced in the coil 47 by the high frequency current generated in the antenna unit 52. In the light emitting unit 48 which is supplied by being rectified, it is possible to emit light while receiving a positive current. The light emitting device 46 having such an attachment method can form the light emitting portion at a position preferred by the user in the body of the telephone in the light emitting portion 48, and the light emitting device 4 with the decorative sheet according to the present invention 6 Covering can secure the attachment of the light emitting device 46 with the thin film of the decorative seal and protect the light emitting device 46, while creating a decorative seal that makes use of the light emission of the light emitting part 48 for decoration. . Also, in general portable devices, the coil 4 7 part is replaced by a thin film solar cell, and the rectifying diode 4 9 part is replaced with a contactless switch etc. that utilizes the change in dielectric constant due to human hand touching. Printing on the insulating sheet to form a thin film light-emitting device 4 6, the light-emitting device can be used in devices that do not have a current source, such as telephones, as well as the decorative sheet according to the present invention. Use effect can be enhanced. Furthermore, when mounting the light emitting device 4 6 with such a decorative seal, in addition to electrical light emission, an optical fiber is used to change the conductor on the thin film, and instead of the diode 4 9 Use an optical amplifier for the light source, use a light dispersion device for the light emitting unit 48, and connect one end of the optical fiber to an appropriate light source, for example, in the case of a cellular phone, a screen that lights up brightly at the time of call ringing. Therefore, it can be used for decorations having similar light portions.

 The created decorative image can be evaluated by the customer while being displayed on the image display, and when the decorative image desired by the customer is obtained on the screen, the process proceeds to step S14. In step S14, as in step S8, only the image portion of the decorative image displayed on the screen excluding the machine shadow of the portable device is maintained in the actual size relationship with the portable device. It is a step of printing on a sheet. Also in this printing process, the plotter 6 performs hole processing or cutting processing to form a seal having an opening in the functional part of the portable device according to the customer's request and the structure of the portable device. The sticker of the decorative image is affixed on the spot to the customer's portable device and delivered to the customer, and the creation of the decorative image is completed (step S15).

 On the other hand, when creating a decoration image, if you do not use the decoration image created so far or the figure etc. in the decoration graphic memory of the decoration image creation device at all, in step S12 The appearance and shape of the object and new figures etc. are captured by the equipment figure capture device.

When incorporating specifications such as the shape and dimensions of the portable device, if there is a decoration with a seal, the shape and dimensions of functional parts such as a difficult switch part or display part, and a movable part, The shape, size, etc. of the movable part of the are also captured by the equipment graphic capture device, and are recorded in temporary memory with a rearranging code.

 Also, when a customer wants to capture a decorative figure that they desire, they also capture a figure with a scanner or take portrait pictures with a camera, add a rearranging code to each, and store it in temporary memory.

 These arrangement codes are codes including the date and time when the portable device or figure was captured by the device graphic capturing device 5, the product name or model number of the portable device, and the search symbol or number, and the creation work of the decorative image In the future, information on figures, portable devices or decorative figures given to the portable devices will be taken in from memory as appropriate, and similar works will be created when creating similar decorative images in the future. With regard to graphics and figures, it is possible to simplify the task of fetching graphics by reading the data of the portable device shape specification memory, the ornamental graphic memory or the ornamental graphic memory.

 Step S 16 is a step of displaying the machine shadow of the portable device recorded in the temporary memory on the screen of the image display, and displaying a figure or the like to be decorated on the portable device to determine the outline of the decoration image. It is. When the figure or pattern to decorate the portable device is roughly determined and displayed on the screen of the image display, proceed to step S17.

 Step S17 is a step of adjusting the size and color tone of the selected figure, background, pattern and the like. Beside the machine shadows displayed on the screen, adjust the color and size of the figures to be decorated, etc. using the controller figure keys or mouse on the controller board, and gradually make the customer desire It is an operation that narrows down to the decoration image. At this time, when decoration is performed by combining a plurality of figures and designs, after selecting in advance the adjustment and combination decoration of a plurality of figures by using the decoration image operation key 15, the work is advanced. When the adjustment of figures and the like is completed, the process proceeds to step S18.

In step S18, the figure adjusted by using the decoration figure operation key 14 or the mouse of the control 1 laboratory is superimposed on the machine shadow, moved, or readjusted. This is a step to confirm the impression when it is applied to the device as a decorative image. In the process of creating a decorative image, data such as dimensional data and figures of the portable device are temporarily stored in memory, so as necessary, data is fetched and a part of the machine shadow is enlarged and displayed. It is possible to proceed with the decoration work while checking the positional relationship with the decoration image by enlarging the part. When superposition of the machine shadow and the decoration figure (pasting of the decoration image on the image display) is finished, the process proceeds to step S19.

 In step S19, in order to confirm the degree of completion of the decoration, the decoration state in which the decoration image is attached to the portable device is displayed on the image display from various angles. Depending on the data taken in step S12, when the appearance and shape dimensions of the portable device are recorded as data of the six sides, based on the data, the entire decorated portable device is based on the data. Can be displayed while rotating and you can check the decoration status. After this confirmation, the process proceeds to step S20.

 Step S20 is a step of affixing the other side of the portable device in the confirmation operation of step S19 and determining whether it is necessary to modify the decoration figure of some side. If it is determined in this step that the decoration needs to be changed, the process proceeds to step S21. If it is confirmed that the decoration image is completed on the image display without any need for correction, the process proceeds to step S22.

 Step S21 is a step of correcting the decoration and displaying the desired machine shadow to be added and decorated on the image display. When the machine image to be decorated is displayed, return to Step S16 again, and perform operations such as selecting, adjusting, moving, and attaching the decoration shape, and the confirmation operation of Step S19 and Step S2 Repeat the determination of the completion of 0.

Step S22 is a step of recording the completed decoration image in the temporary memory when it is confirmed on the image display that the decoration image is completed. This is a storage to facilitate the work of printing on a sheet to apply the finished decoration image to the machine. Also at this time, the above-mentioned sort code is attached and recorded in the memory, and the process proceeds to step S23. Step S23 is a step for determining whether or not the customer wishes to keep storing the completed decoration image. If the customer recognizes that the decoration image is to be stored, the process proceeds to step S24. If the customer does not desire to store the decoration image, the process proceeds to step S25.

 Step S 25 is a printing step similar to step S 8 and step S 15 described above. In this step S25, only the image portion of the decorative image displayed on the screen excluding the image of the portable device is printed on the sheet while maintaining the actual dimensional relationship with the portable device. Also, in accordance with the customer's request and the structure of the portable device, the plotter 6 performs hole processing and cutting processing to form a seal having an opening in the functional part of the portable device.

 After this, the seal of the decorative image is affixed on the spot to the customer's portable device and delivered to the customer, and when the decoration by the decorative image is received by the customer, the process proceeds to step S26. Step S26 is a step of erasing the record of the decorative figure information recorded in the temporary memory of the decorative image creating apparatus according to the request of the customer in the work of creating the decorative image up to now. Once the decoration image is completed and delivered to the customer, the temporary memory record is not necessary for the creation of the decoration image for the time being, so it will be erased if instructed by the customer, and the decoration image will be created. The work is finished (step S 2 7).

 Step S24 is a step of attaching information (memory code) to the information recorded in the temporary memory and storing it for a long time.

 This rearranging code is attached as a code unique to the information of the decoration figure, the appearance and shape dimension data of the portable device, and the decoration image information, and is recorded in the portable device shape specification memory, the decoration figure memory, and the decoration image memory, After this, the process proceeds to step S28.

Step S 2 8 is a step in which printing, hole processing and cutting processing similar to those in step S 8, step S 14 and step 25 are performed by the plotter 6. However, in this step S 28, simultaneously with these printings, memory codes such as newly acquired decorative figures and decorative images are printed on the decorative seal. At this time, print If the code would impair the aesthetics of the decoration, it is better to print using a special ink that can not be recognized visually but can be read by the light beam used for the code reader.

 The memory code, as described above, provides the same decorative image and prints it easily when replacing the dirty decorative image with a new identical one, as described above, and samples or models for customers who wish to newly decorate the portable device. It is used as data for quick and easy creation of portable device decoration images. After this, the seal of the decorative image is affixed on the spot to the customer's portable device and handed over to the customer, and when the decoration by the decorative image is received by the customer, the creation of the decorative image is finished (step S 2 9) ).

 The transparent resin film described above can also be used as a protective film for decorative images. That is, a film processed to a thickness of 0.02 to 0.02 mm with the material as described above, even when it is laminated as a protective film on a decorative image seal, the total thickness is Since it is 0. 0 4 to 0. 0 0 4 mm, even if a decorative image sticker is attached to a portable device and a protective film is applied over it, it is the same as one conventional decorative image film. It can be thick and the customer can use the decorated mobile device with a feel just like a traditional decorative image sticker.

In this case, it is most preferable to use the same transparent resin film as the film from which the decorative image sheet is made, as the protective film for the decorative image. That is, if the protective film is the same film as the decorative image seal, there is no need to separately procure and prepare a sheet for decorative image seal and a sheet for protective film, and it is necessary to distinguish and store these sheets. Also, the management of materials for decoration of portable devices and the overcoating work with a protective film are the same procedures as the pasting work of a decorative image sticker, and are simplified in all respects. Also, when sticking a protective film according to the customer's request, use a plotter to mount it. If only the outer shape of the transparent resin film sheet attached to the release paper is cut according to the shape and dimensions of the portable device in exactly the same way as when the decorative image seal was made, the sheet for the protective film will It's done.

 Since the sheet for the protective film protects the decorative image as well as protecting the function part of the portable device, for example, the standby screen and the operation buttons in the case of a mobile phone with a transparent film, the decorative image sticker It is not necessary to cut out the function part and to provide an opening like.

 In this way, if a transparent resin film for decorative image seal is used in combination with the protective film and the entire portable device is cut from the top of the decorative image seal, special material is used in the field of decorating the portable device. If the protective film sheet can be made appropriately according to the customer's request without being used, and it is possible to form an over coat layer such as a decorative image by overlapping and sticking it on a decorated portable device. In addition, the overcoat layer makes it very easy to protect the decoration image and to control the color bleeding of the decoration image due to sweat and rainwater, and also to prevent the image from bleeding. We can protect functional parts such as screens from rainwater and dust.

 In addition, operation keys for mobile device data, decoration figure operation keys, decoration image operation keys and reading keys, display keys, adjustment keys, creation keys, memory recording keys, memory reading keys, printing keys Etc. are separately described as dedicated keys whose functions are independent for convenience of explanation, but according to the situation, an embodiment in which a plurality of functions in these are put together as one key switch, various The function of the portable device decoration of the present invention is maintained even in the form in which the function is added.

As described above, the portable device decoration method and device of the present invention can be used to create computer-generated images and / or pre-made information in response to various design decoration requirements and various decoration requests for various portable devices brought by customers. Create distinctive decoration images in front of customers using the stored decoration image information etc., provide the determined image as an image sticker on the spot, and paste it etc. A distinctive decoration image sticker Quickly and easily It is possible to provide a method of decoration of a portable device to be decorated and a portable device decoration device.

 Also, the provision of the image sticker by this device is determined in accordance with the taste in front of the customer, and the image is printed and attached according to the shape and dimensional characteristics of the portable device brought by the customer. Not only is there no need to stock printed image stickers, inventory management is easier.
