Description

Photo / video providing system, photo / video providing method, photo / video providing program

The present invention relates to a photographic video providing system or the like for shipping these products to a purchaser after printing (developing) a photo or a video or recording it on a recording medium.

In various facilities such as nursery school, kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, high school, vocational school, and nursing care facility, various events such as excursions, school excursions, school performances, concerts, and sports events are held every year. At that time, photos of the event are taken, and the photos are sold to the person and relatives at a later date.

Generally, the facility side requests photography and printing from a photo studio in advance. The photo studio arranges photo specialists and accompanies the event to shoot the scene. Later, with the cooperation of the facility operator, the sample photos are circulated as a photo book or posted on the wall, the order is compiled, and the photo studio prints the photos and delivers them to the facility. The photos are sold to relatives etc. through the facility, and the facility collects the cost by itself.

In recent years, it has become common for facility operators, such as nursery teachers, teachers, and caregivers, to take pictures of events using digital cameras. In this case, the facility itself develops the sample photo and circulates it as a photo book or posts it on the wall to collect orders. After that, I went to a photo studio to print a large number of photos, sort them by myself, and sell them to my relatives.

In the case of the conventional mechanism, since the cost of a photographer and the cost of collecting orders must be passed on to the price of a photograph, it is generally around 80 yen per sheet. The purchaser has a sense of value because he / she knows the printing fee when he / she directly asks the photo studio. In addition, purchases such as parents are interested in collecting photos and ordering at the facility, even though they want to know the events of their children as soon as possible through photos.

In addition, the photograph moving image in the photograph moving image providing system means a photograph or a moving image, and includes a case where only a photograph, only a moving image, or both a photograph and a moving image are provided. In the following embodiment, it is exemplified only when a photograph is provided.

The photographic video providing system 1 includes a WEB server 2 that distributes information via a wireless or wired communication line such as the Internet, and a database (DB) server 4 that is connected to the WEB server 2 and stores various information. . The case where the WEB server 2 and the DB server 4 are configured by separate electronic computers (hardware) is illustrated, but these can also be constructed by one electronic computer, and more than three It is also possible to combine other electronic computers.

The photographic video providing system 1 is connected to the founder computers K1 to K4, the operator computer U1, and the purchaser computers C1 to C4 via a communication line. These computers include various wireless communication terminals such as smartphones and tablets in addition to so-called desktop or notebook personal computers. The number of computers connected is actually a larger number than this.

Establisher computers K1 to K4 are used by persons who take photographs, for example, facility workers such as nurseries and elementary schools. This includes cases where specialized photographers use it. The operator computer U1 is used by the operator of the photographic video providing system 1. The operator computer U1 is connected to the digital photo printer P and performs photo printing. The digital photographic printer P is not necessarily connected to the operator computer U1, and printing data may be transferred between the two using an information storage medium such as a USB memory. Purchaser computers C1-C4 are used by those who purchase photographs. The purchaser is often a person who goes to the establishment of the establishment or a relative thereof, but there may be other cases.

With the overall configuration described above, the present photograph moving image providing system 1 has an exhibition room for selling photos opened online by the founder computers K1 to K4, and accepts ordering of photos from the purchaser computers C1 to C4 online. . The photo ordering information is transmitted to the operator computer U1, and the photo is printed by the digital photo printing machine P based on the photo ordering information. The photo ordering information is sent directly to the purchaser via a carrier (not shown).

FIG. 2A shows a hardware block configuration of the WEB server 2 and the DB server 4 of the photographic video providing system 1. The hardware configurations of these

servers

2 and 4 are basically the same. The WEB server 2 and the DB server 4 include a CPU (central processing unit) 5 that executes various programs, a memory 6 that temporarily develops information required by the CPU 5, and an information storage medium 7 that stores programs and various data. And a communication interface 8 etc. for communicating with the outside by connecting a LAN line or the like. The information storage medium 7 includes a hard disk, a rewritable nonvolatile memory, a large-capacity storage medium such as DAT or DVT, and the like.

FIG. 2 (B) shows functional blocks realized by the CPU 5 executing a photographic moving image providing program or the like stored in the information storage medium 7 in the photographic moving image providing system 1. Broadly speaking, it can be divided into a functional block A provided to the establishment person, a functional block B provided to the purchaser, and a functional block C provided to the operator. Details of these functional blocks will be described using a user interface shown in FIG.

<Opener management> The opener management means 10 holds the basic information of the opener in the opener database. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 (A), the registration screen of the name (facility name), address, e-mail, telephone number, password, etc. of the founder is distributed to the founder computers K1 to K4. Is issued and registered in the founder database, and an ID for the founder to log in is issued. Thereby, the founder computers K1 to K4 can log in to the photo moving image providing system 1 using the login screen shown in FIG. When the user logs in, as shown in FIG. 3C, an operator management item selection screen is displayed.

In the establishment management item selection screen in FIG. 3C, an exhibition room management button, a purchaser management button, a history / log management button, and a sales settlement management button are displayed. The purchaser management button is indicated by a dotted line because, in principle, it is desirable not to provide this function. Details of this point will be described later.

<Exhibition room management> When the exhibition room management button is selected, the exhibition room management means 12 is activated to refer to the exhibition room management database. As shown in FIG. 3 (D), the exhibition room management means 12 distributes the exhibition room list screen to the founder computers K1 to K4, and displays the exhibition room new establishment button and the exhibition room already opened. Display the status list. Depending on the establishment person (ID), the exhibition room list displayed in the exhibition room list has different results. In the status list of the exhibition room, an overview of the status of the exhibition room, specifically, the closing / opening status, the number of people entering the room, the presence / absence of a restart request, and the like are displayed. In addition, an exhibition room deletion button and a management button are prepared for each exhibition room. When the exhibition room deletion button is pressed, all information on the exhibition room is deleted. When the management button is selected, a transition is made to the exhibition room management screen of FIG. 4B (details will be described later).

When the exhibition room new establishment button is pressed on the exhibition room selection screen of FIG. 3D, the exhibition room management means 12 displays the screen for inputting the exhibition room name shown in FIG. Delivered to computers K1 to K4. When you enter the exhibition room name using the founder computers K1 to K4 and press the establishment button, the new exhibition room name is registered in the exhibition room management database. After that, as shown in FIG. Transition to the management screen.

<Data Upload> On the exhibition room individual management screen of FIG. 4B, a new data upload button, an update data upload button, an exhibition room edit button, an opening / closing management button, and an entrance code issue button are displayed.

When the new data upload button is pressed, the photo moving image storage means 30 is activated and the photo data for printing is stored in the photo database. Specifically, the new data upload screen shown in FIG. 4C is distributed to the founder computers K1 to K4. When the photo folder stored in the founder computers K1 to K4 is dragged and dropped to a predetermined position on the screen, the photo data stored in the photo folder is compressed and stored in the photo database. Although not described here, even when the update data upload button is pressed on the exhibition room individual management screen of FIG. 4B, an update data upload screen almost similar to the screen of FIG. 4C is distributed. The In the case of update data, it is compared with data already registered in the photo database, and only difference data is additionally registered in the photo database. The photo data for printing is preferably compressed and stored, but may be stored without being compressed.

<Exhibition Room Construction> The photo room storage means 30 activates the exhibition room construction means 20 at the same time that a photo is registered in the photo database. The exhibition room construction means 20 automatically constructs a screen (hereinafter, exhibition room) that allows the purchaser to browse online using the photo folder uploaded by the founder, and registers this information in the exhibition room database. Specifically, the exhibition room construction unit 20 includes an exhibition room configuration generation unit 21, a resolution change unit 22, a rename unit 24, a photographic moving image rotation unit 26, and a trimming unit 28.

The exhibition room configuration generation means 21 automatically generates the hierarchical configuration information of the exhibition room screen as shown in FIG. 5B by using the hierarchical structure and folder name of the uploaded photo folder shown in FIG. To do. For example, the top hierarchy name of the photo folder shown in FIG. 5A is “excursion”, and the secondary hierarchy name belonging to “excursion” is “Now depart!” “Happy lunch” “Return is fine” If the tertiary hierarchy name belonging to “fun lunch” is “group photo”, the hierarchical structure of the exhibition room in FIG. 5B also matches (except for the top folder name). In this way, if the organizer computers K1 to K4 are used to image the exhibition room page structure and the photo folders are arranged in advance, the exhibition room page structure can be automatically generated simply by uploading it. become. This is particularly convenient when a multi-layer structure is used.

The resolution changing means 22 automatically generates exhibition room photo data with a reduced data size, using the uploaded photo data. The data size is resized by lowering the resolution. This is because if the photo data itself is used for an exhibition room, the data size is too large and it takes time to view the screen on the communication terminal.

Renaming means 24 resets the name of the photo data for the exhibition room. For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, uploaded photo data names often have no unity. The reason is that data taken by a plurality of cameras of different manufacturers and models are collected and edited by the founder computers K1 to K4. Accordingly, the renaming means 24 resets the name of the exhibition room photo data to be different from the name of the processing source photo data. For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5B, serial numbers are assigned in the order of time stamps assigned to uploaded photo data. Thereby, in the exhibition room, the photo data is arranged in time order in each folder. The name may be renamed according to other rules.

The photograph moving image rotation means 26 uses the photographing condition information attached to the photograph data in advance, for example, Exif (Exchangeable image file format) information to determine whether the exhibition room photo data is displayed horizontally or vertically. Automatically set every time. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5B, the photo data for the exhibition room photographed horizontally is displayed horizontally, and the photo data for the exhibition room photographed vertically is displayed vertically. In addition, since the photographing condition information attached to the photo data may be incorrect, a rotation button is prepared for each photo in the exhibition room editing screen of FIG. When this rotation button is pressed, the photo moving image rotation means 26 rotates and displays the exhibition room photo data on the spot.

The trimming means 28 estimates the print area when the photograph is actually printed using the photograph data, and trims the exhibition room photograph data in advance. For example, if the photograph data taken by the camera is in the state shown in FIG. 6A, and it is predicted that the hatched area in FIG. In the room photo data, the shaded area is trimmed in advance as shown in FIG. By doing so, it is possible to completely match the photo data for the exhibition room that is browsed online in the exhibition room and the photographing area of the photo ordered and delivered. In particular, when a person appears in the vicinity of the contour of the photo data, when the photo is output, a part of the person may be cut off. By trimming this error in advance and providing information to the purchaser, the purchaser can order a photo with peace of mind. For reference, the so-called L companion is popular in Japan as a standard photo size. The L companion has 89 mm on one side, 127 mm on the other side, and an aspect ratio of 1.43. Therefore, if this aspect ratio and the aspect ratio of the photo data do not match, an area that must be trimmed is always created.

In the exhibition room editing screen of FIG. 5 (C), unnecessary photos can be deleted online by checking the photos to be deleted and pressing the delete button. You can also move photos within folders or between folders by dragging and dropping them. Although not specifically shown, new photo data can be uploaded by dragging and dropping photo data from the local area of the founder computers K1 to K4 into the exhibition room editing screen. When this operation is performed, the photographic moving picture storage means 30 and the exhibition room construction means 20 described above are activated, and all the processes described above are automatically applied to the added photographic data.

As described above, all information related to the exhibition room is stored in the exhibition room database, and such information can be edited as appropriate.

<Issue room code issuance> Returning to FIG. 4B, when the room entrance code issuance button is pressed on the exhibition room individual management screen, the room entry code issuing means 40 is activated. The entry code issuing means 40 issues identification information for the purchaser to enter the exhibition room using the purchaser computers C1 to C4, and at the same time registers the entry code in the entry management database. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7A, an entrance code type selection screen is distributed to the founder computers K1 to K4 to prompt the user to select an entrance code type. Here, two types of codes, common type and individual type, can be selected.

When the common type is selected, an entrance code issuance screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 7B, and an entrance code (eg, ABCDEF) is displayed on the screen. In addition, an e-mail notification button and a card print button are prepared on the entrance code issue screen. When the e-mail notification button is pressed, the e-mail notification means 42 is activated, and the e-mail notification screen shown in FIG. 7C is distributed to the founder computers K1 to K4. When an e-mail list of purchase candidates known in advance by the establishment person is entered into the pasting area of the e-mail address list on the e-mail notification screen and the notification execution button is pressed, as shown in FIG. The entrance candidate is notified of the entrance candidate by e-mail. The sender of the e-mail is the e-mail address of the operator computer U1, and the name and contact information of the operator U are also displayed in the signature displayed in the e-mail. As a result, the founder does not need to respond to inquiries regarding ordering from the purchaser, and can concentrate on daily work. The operator information is registered in an operator database described later.

Next, when the card print button is pressed in the entrance code issuance screen shown in FIG. 7B, the card printing means 44 is activated and a card print preview screen shown in FIG. 7E is displayed. In this preview screen, for example, a state in which a plurality of (here, 10) cards are formed in the print area of A4 paper is displayed. Each card displays a common type entry code, URL information for logging in, scheduled opening / closing time (omitted), inquiries, and the like. By pressing the print button, card creation paper is output from a general-purpose printer connected to the founder computers K1 to K4. By cutting the card creation sheet into 10 equal parts, a distribution card for transmitting the entrance code can be easily created. The name and contact information of the operator computer U1 are also displayed on the signature of this distribution card. As a result, the establishment person does not need to respond to inquiries from the purchaser and can concentrate on the daily work.

Returning to FIG. 7A, when the individual type is selected on the entry code type selection screen, the entry code issuance screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 8A, and an e-mail notification button and card printing are displayed. A button is provided. In the case of the individual type, since the room entry code is different for each individual, the room entry code is not displayed on this screen. In addition, the individual type entrance code is in a so-called one-time format, and once the purchaser enters the exhibition room using this entrance code, the information is registered in the entrance management database, and the same entrance room is entered. Even if another person (a purchaser with another ID) tries to enter the room, it is rejected as a used code. As a result, it is possible to prevent spoofed visitors.

When the e-mail notification button is pressed, the e-mail notification means 42 is activated, and the e-mail notification screen shown in FIG. 8B is distributed to the creator computers K1 to K4. When an e-mail list of purchase candidates known in advance by the establishment person is entered in the e-mail address list pasting area on the e-mail notification screen and the notification execution button is pressed, as shown in FIG. 8C. The entrance candidate is notified of the entrance candidate by e-mail. At this time, a different entry code is notified for each e-mail (for each prospective purchaser).

Next, when the card print button is pressed on the entrance code issuance screen shown in FIG. 8A, the card printing means 44 is activated, and the card setting screen shown in FIG. 8D is displayed. In this card setting screen, the number of cards issued is input. When the founder uses the founder computers K1 to K4 to input the number of issuers (for example, 30 people) and press the preview button, a preview screen for card printing is displayed as shown in FIG. 8 (E). Is displayed. For example, the preview screen displays a state in which cards for a set number of people (for example, for 30 people) are formed in a plurality of print areas of A4 paper. For example, when 10 cards are created with one A4 sheet, a preview screen for three A4 sheets with 30 people is displayed. Each card displays a different entry code, URL information for logging in, inquiries, and the like. By pressing the print button, these card creation sheets are output from the general-purpose printer connected to the founder computers K1 to K4. By cutting each card preparation sheet into 10 equal parts, 30 distribution cards can be easily created to convey the entrance code.

In this embodiment, the individual code and the common code can be selected. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be limited to any of these. In the present embodiment, the case where an entrance code that can be visually identified to some extent (an entrance code that allows easy keyboard input) is distributed as the entrance code is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if the notification can be limited to an e-mail, a long room entrance code is embedded in the URL for access in advance, and this URL can be notified to the prospective purchaser by e-mail. The purchaser who has received the e-mail simply clicks on the URL to complete registration of the entrance code. In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted here, when notifying an entrance code by an e-mail or a card | curd, it is preferable to display (print) simultaneously the preset opening date and closing date.

<Open / Close Management> Returning to FIG. 4 (B), when the open / close management button is pressed on the exhibition room individual management screen, the open / close management means 50 is activated. The room opening / closing management means 50 switches between opening (in a state in which entry is possible) and closing (in a state in which entry is not possible) of each exhibition room based on the instructions of the founder. Specifically, when the exhibition room is in a closed state, an opening / closing management screen shown in FIG. 9A is transmitted to the creator computers K1 to K4. On the open / close management screen, the current status (closed) is displayed, and the “open now” button and a timer setting area are displayed. Press the “Open Now” button to open the exhibition room. In the timer setting area, an opening date / time input field, a closing date / time input field, a pre-closing notification date input field, and a check box for selecting a person to be notified before closing (a limited person or all with a cart) are displayed. When the establishment person inputs only the item for which timer setting is desired in the input field and presses the setting button, the timer setting means 52 is activated and the opening / closing timer is set.

On the summary shipping confirmation screen, while displaying unsent order information, the user selects whether or not he / she wishes to ship the unsent photos and the current purchase photos together. When the collective shipment is desired, the bundle management unit 164 associates the past order information that has not been dispatched with the current order information, and edits the order database so that the order information becomes one piece. As a result, unless all the photos of the past order information and the current order information are printed, the print result and the delivery information are inconsistent, and the shipping instruction cannot be issued. Through the above steps, the purchaser completes the order.

<Operation History Storage> In this embodiment, the operation history storage means 140 is always activated, and the purchase operation history of the purchaser computers C1 to C4 by the purchaser, that is, which page of the exhibition room screen or cart screen is displayed. The browsing history is stored in the operation history database in real time. Therefore, when the purchaser interrupts (logs out) the operations of the purchaser computers C1 to C4 and then logs in again, the operation history storage means 140 refers to the operation history database and first distributes the screen immediately before logout, It can be viewed from the continuation. It is difficult for a person who browses the exhibition room to sew a busy interval, and it is difficult to complete up to ordering with a single login, and it is also difficult to remember in the head what photos have been viewed. In recent years, an increasing number of people use laptop computers at home and use smartphones on the go. In this embodiment, since the operation history is stored on the operation history database side, even if the terminal changes halfway, the ordering work is continued from the screen that was viewed at the time of the previous logout based on the purchaser ID. It can be performed.

<Operator management> The operator management means 180 holds the basic information of the operator in the operator database. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16 (A), a registration screen of the operator's name (company name), address, e-mail, telephone number, password, etc. is distributed to the operator computer U1, and these information are stored. While receiving and registering in the operator database, the operator issues an ID for logging in. Thereby, the operator computer U1 can log in to the photograph moving image providing system 1 using the administrator login screen shown in FIG. When logging in, an operator management item selection screen is displayed as shown in FIG.

Distributed to the person computer U1. On this print fee setting screen, a print fee per photo, a creation fee per photo book, a shipping fee, a cash-on-delivery fee, etc. can be set. This fee table is registered in the printing fee database. Although a case where a single photo printing fee is set is illustrated here, a plurality of fees can be set according to the print size of the photo.

<Opener, Exhibition Room, Purchaser Browsing> On the operator management item selection screen of FIG. 16C, the operator management means 180 is pressed by pressing the founder browsing button, the exhibition room browsing button, and the purchaser browsing button. You can browse and edit the founder database, exhibition room database, and purchaser database, respectively. That is, the operator has a master function for various related data. This is because the operator must respond flexibly to inquiries and troubles from the founders and purchasers.

<Printing Process> When the order information button is pressed on the operator management item selection screen in FIG. 16C, the print instructing means 184 is activated and refers to the order database to receive an order as shown in FIG. The information list screen is distributed to the operator computer U1. This order information list screen includes purchaser name, exhibition room name, number of purchases, print data download (DL) button, delivery note print button, summary request (included), and sent / not-shipped status status. Displayed for each order information. When the print data DL button is pressed, the print data processing means 186 is activated, and the corresponding order information and the necessary photo data (original data) are extracted and automatically processed as one print instruction file. Download to computer U1. When this print instruction data is transferred to the digital photo printer P, printing according to the order information is automatically performed. Although the order information that has already been dispatched is also displayed here, it is preferable to display only the order information that has not been dispatched. Also. Here, since photo printing is illustrated, it is expressed as a printing instruction means. However, for example, in the case of a product that records a photo or moving image data on a CD or DVD, it is not necessarily limited to printing. Therefore, in the present invention, it is expressed as product production instruction means.

<Delivery processing> When a delivery note print button is pressed, delivery management means 188 is activated to deliver a delivery note screen as shown in FIG. 17B to the operator computer U1. On this delivery note screen, in addition to the purchaser (delivery destination), purchaser address (delivery destination address), delivery contents and delivery amount, a barcode for confirming delivery is displayed. This bar code is for identifying the order information corresponding to this delivery note. When delivering a product by printing a delivery note, it is scanned with a barcode scanner (not shown) connected to the operator computer U1, and at the same time, the barcode on the delivery slip of the courier is continuously scanned. If this scan result is transmitted to the delivery management means 188, the order information and the delivery slip are associated with each other, and the status is changed from “unshipped” to “shipped” in the order information in FIG. Although not particularly shown here, there is a case where the delivery history information of the carrier can be received from the delivery history server of the carrier via a communication line. In that case, since the relation between the order information data vest and the delivery history database of the carrier can be formed using the above-mentioned two scan data, it can be confirmed online until the delivery to the purchaser is completed. .

Note that, as already described, when a “batch shipping” instruction is received from the purchaser, a plurality of pieces of order information are printed together on this delivery note.

<Sales Clearing> When the sales clearing management button is pressed on the operator management item selection screen shown in FIG. 16C, the sales clearing management means 189 is activated. The sales clearing management means 189 refers to the charge clearing database and displays a list of the related clearing states of the founders on the operator computer U1. This settlement status list displays, for each exhibition room, the amount to be paid to the founder (clearing amount), whether there is a settlement request instruction from the founder, and the status of the settlement status by the operator. For example, an uncleared button is displayed when the exhibition room is closed and a clearing amount has been recorded and the clearing amount has not yet been transferred to the founder even though there is a clearing request. Therefore, when the operator remits money to the opener, pressing this uncleared button will change the status to “cleared” and at the same time, automatically send the clearing to the opener via email. . Also, for example, when the exhibition room is closed and clearing sales are recorded, but there is no clearing request, the uncleared button is not displayed and the clearing request is waited. In this way, by accurately performing sales clearing management for the establishment person, a financial merit is provided to the establishment person. In addition, although the case where the liquidated item is displayed as a list is illustrated here, it is preferable to display the list only for the items that are not yet liquidated or waiting for the liquidation request.

As described above, according to the photographic video providing system 1 of the present embodiment, each of the roles is divided using communication between the three parties of the founder computers K1 to K4, the purchaser computers C1 to C4, and the operator computer U1. However, it is possible to efficiently place and order products such as photo printing. Specifically, a person who establishes a facility for taking a picture can open an exhibition room for products such as photographs very efficiently online, and the entrance code for the purchaser in a simple work process. Can be issued freely. On the other hand, the purchaser can easily place an order for printing by browsing the photos in the online exhibition room using the entrance code. At that time, an order for a photograph is not received by an unfamiliar establishment person, but an order is received by a specialized operator, a photograph is printed, and the photograph is directly delivered to the purchaser as it is.

Therefore, the concept of “combining” photo orders from relatives on the facility side can be fundamentally eliminated with respect to photographs taken at facility events as in the past. In other words, the work of the founder is until the online exhibition room is opened by itself, and thereafter, the purchaser individually orders the photograph from the operator and receives it directly. Therefore, it is possible to greatly shorten the period from taking a photograph at the event until receiving the purchaser's photograph.

Furthermore, according to the present photo video providing system 1, the founder can sell the product to the purchaser with a commission added to the sales price of the product such as the photograph of the operator. As a result, the establishment person can easily collect the service cost of photography, etc. without being involved in the ordering of goods such as photographs. As a result, the establishment person has an incentive to positively take excellent photographs at the facility event, so the purchaser can also purchase high-quality photographs. In particular, in the present embodiment, the sales price can be set by the establishment person. Therefore, since the selling price can be changed according to the burden level of taking a photograph, an opportunity to appropriately collect the photographing cost is obtained. For example, when a photo specialist is requested, the photo price can be set high, and when an amateur takes a photo, the photo price can be set low. In addition, in the case of a group that prohibits or is not preferable to increase profits by selling photographs (for example, an arbitrary group that does not perform tax processing), it is possible to dare to set the settlement amount to 0 yen.

For buyers, it is no longer necessary to provide personal information such as delivery destinations and purchase photo lists to founders who are unfamiliar with product ordering and personal information management, and exchange of personal information such as photo printing and ordering You can order with peace of mind because you can complete with an operator who specializes in In particular, the purchaser does not need to tell the opener what kind of photo to purchase and that the opener is not involved in the delivery of the photo leads to a great sense of security for the purchaser.

In addition, for example, for parents who leave multiple children in a nursery, kindergarten, elementary school, etc. where many events are repeated, once the purchaser information is registered in the purchaser database and the login ID is acquired, Can enter multiple exhibition rooms at the same time (nursery, kindergarten, elementary school). As a result, there is an advantage that even if the facilities are different, it is possible to order pictures collectively.

Furthermore, in this photograph moving image providing system 1, a wireless communication terminal such as a smartphone with a camera can be used as the founder computers K1 to K4. For example, an opener can open an exhibition room in advance with the photo data empty, and distribute the entrance code to the parents in advance. In events such as excursions, the teacher can photograph the state of the excursion with a camera-equipped smartphone, and wirelessly connect to the photographic video providing system 1 on the spot to upload photo data to the exhibition room. For parents, in addition to the function of an exhibition room for purchasing photos, the progress of excursions can be confirmed with almost real-time photos.

In addition, the photo video providing system 1 can distribute a card printing screen for distributing the entrance code of the exhibition room to the founder computer. For example, if an elementary school teacher prints out this card printing screen and creates cards for the number of students and distributes the cards to the students, the entrance code can be easily distributed to the parents. In particular, by making the room entry code unique to each purchaser, so-called impersonation room entry can be avoided.

On the other hand, although not specifically shown here, even if a common entrance code is used, it is also possible for the establishment person to pre-register a photo destination area for each exhibition room. If it does in this way, in the photograph moving image provision system 1, the order from the purchaser of the address beyond this shipping address area can be refused, or an alarm can be shown to an operator. By managing in this way, so-called impersonation orders can be sufficiently suppressed.

In this photo video providing system 1, the founder can freely manage the opening and closing of the exhibition room. At that time, the purchaser can be notified of the closing of the room by e-mail. In particular, if notification is made only for purchasers whose photos remain in the cart, it is possible to avoid a situation where repeated notification of closing notice is given to a person who has already purchased a photo.

As described above, in the photographic video providing system 1 of the present embodiment, the case where the operator computer U1 is a so-called personal computer has been exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the product production machine such as a photographic printer itself. It may be a thing which served as.

Further, in the photographic video providing system 1 of the present embodiment, the case where there is only one operator (one company) is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of companies that produce products such as photo printing However, it may be registered as an operator. In this case, for example, in response to the opening of the exhibition room, the founder can select which operator is requested to produce the product from a plurality of operators. The operator can be changed according to the type of the product.

Also, for example, the operator side can limit the establishment person. In this case, the operator only needs to go through a processing step of issuing the login ID of the founder. In many parts of the country, there are many photo studios that have existed for a long time, and there are nursery schools, kindergartens, elementary schools, and junior high schools that have requested photo studios for many years to print photos. In such a case, this photo studio registers the operator (acquires the operator ID) and associates it with the operator ID so that it can be found in the nursery school, kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school that have been associated for many years. Issue. In the exhibition rooms opened with these opener IDs, orders are collected by the operator IDs associated therewith. Therefore, by using the photographic video providing system 1 in the photo studios in each region in the whole country, it is possible to increase the chances of receiving orders for photos of various events that are losing.

<Description of optional functions>
Next, an optional function of the photographic video providing system 1 of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 18 shows optional function blocks realized by the CPU 5 executing a photographic moving image providing program or the like stored in the information storage medium 7 in the photographic moving image providing system 1. Here, optional functions are prepared in the function block A provided to the establishment person and the function block B provided to the purchaser. Details of these optional function blocks will be described using a user interface shown in FIG.

<Printing Exhibition Room Generation> The printing exhibition room generation means 310 corresponds to the case where the purchaser does not own the purchaser computers C1 to C4. In the exhibition room individual management screen shown in FIG. 19A, an exhibition room print button is additionally displayed. When this exhibition room print button is pressed, as shown in FIG. 19B, a print type selection for selecting whether to display a screen for printing all photos of the exhibition room with a printer or to download print data is displayed. A screen is presented. For example, when the print screen display button is selected, the exhibition room printing screen shown in FIG. 20 is displayed, and all photographs of the exhibition room constructed by the exhibition room construction means 20 and the sales price setting means 60 can be printed. ing. On this print screen, a list of photos that have been renamed, rotated, trimmed, etc. in the exhibition room construction means 20 is displayed in a reduced state. Each photo also displays the renamed management number. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 21, an order form for the purchaser to order a photo can be printed as the top or end page of this print screen (or as a separate screen). The order form automatically inserts the title of the exhibition room, the name of the founder, the “ordering period (timer)” set by the opening / closing control means 50, the photo and photo album unit price set by the sales price setting means 60, etc. In addition, the cash-on-delivery fee is also displayed with notes such as shipping charges. The founder uses these screens to print exhibition room photos and order forms and provide them to the purchaser. The purchaser faxes the order form by looking at the printed photo of the exhibition room, entering the photo number and the number of orders on the order form, entering information about the address of the photo, such as address, name, and telephone number. This FAX is delivered to the operator, and a photo is printed and delivered in accordance with the order instruction. As a result, even a purchaser who does not have a computer can securely order photos. When the download button is selected on the print type selection screen shown in FIG. 19B, print-only data similar to the exhibition room print screen shown in FIG. 20 is downloaded to the founder computer.

<Automatic Filtering> As shown in FIG. 22 (A), the automatic filtering unit 400 automatically filters photos on the exhibition room browsing screen distributed to the purchaser computers C1 to C4 by the exhibition room distribution unit 130. Provide a button. This is to improve the convenience for the purchaser to select a desired photo when there are, for example, 100 or more photos.

Specifically, the automatic narrowing down means 400 includes a narrowing face information registration means 410 and a narrowing down execution means 420. When the “automatic narrowing down by face” button in FIG. 22A is pressed, the narrowing face information registration means 410 is activated, and the face information registration screen shown in FIG. 22B is displayed on the purchaser computers C1 to C4. To deliver. In this face information registration screen, face information is registered by uploading the face photograph (front and side) to be narrowed down. After the registration is completed, when a narrowing execution button is pressed, the narrowing execution means 420 is activated. The narrowing down execution means 420 collates the registered face information with the faces of all the photos displayed in the exhibition room, narrows down to only those that match or approximate, and registers them in the database corresponding to the purchaser. The exhibition room distribution means 130 redistributes only the narrowed down photos to the purchaser computers C1 to C4. As a result, the purchaser can place an order for a photo in a state that the target photo is narrowed down in advance. There are various face information matching methods. For example, the registered facial information is used to determine the facial feature point positions such as the eyes, nose, and mouth edge. Detection processing is performed to determine face regions, and feature point positions are determined for these regions as well. In general, the feature point position of the registered face information is compared with the feature point position of the face area in the photograph, and the photograph is selected based on the similarity. In the present embodiment, the purchaser uploads a facial photograph by himself / herself. However, for example, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to register the face information for narrowing down by detecting the face area in advance by the face information registration means 410 and causing the purchaser to select the target face from the face area.

It should be noted that the photographic video providing system of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is needless to say that various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

The present invention can be applied to various scenes where a photo is sold on behalf of a customer.
