A four-person course selection button 403, which is a rectangular button, is displayed side by side. One sample of images obtained when shooting is performed in the course for three people is displayed inside the course selection button 402 for three people, and shooting is performed in the course for four people inside the course selection button 403 for four people. One image sample obtained when performing is displayed.

  By displaying the sample image, the user can confirm the angle of view of the image obtained by each course. As shown in FIG. 19, the image obtained when a large number of shooting courses are selected is longer than the image obtained when a small number of shooting courses are selected. Is long.

  An ID photo course selection button 404, which is a button operated when selecting the ID photo course, is displayed below the course selection screen. Inside the ID photo course selection button 404, one sample ID photo image is displayed, and it is a course for one person, and the usage of the ID photo image is for resume (horizontal x vertical). 3 cm × 4 cm) is displayed.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram showing an example of a pop-up displayed on the course selection screen when the ID photo course selection button 404 is operated.

  When the ID photo course selection button 404 is operated, a window 411 is displayed over the course selection screen. In the window 411, a message for confirming whether or not the game can be started in the ID photo course is displayed. Below that, a button 411A which is a YES button operated when starting the game in the ID photo course and Then, a button 411B, which is an NO button operated when re-selecting the course, is displayed side by side.

  Under the buttons 411A and 411B, the ID photo course is a course for one person, and the size of the ID photo image is a size that can be used for a resume or application (width x length is 3cm x 4cm). Information indicating that is displayed. In addition, an explanation regarding the copy of the ID photo image is displayed. At this time, another size may be displayed and selected as the size that can be used for the resume or application.

  When the button 411A, which is a YES button, is operated, the ID photo course game is started. On the other hand, when the button 411B which is the NO button is operated, the window 411 is closed and the display on the touch panel monitor 92 returns to the state where the course selection screen of FIG. 19 is displayed.

  By displaying such a confirmation screen when selecting an ID photo course, it is possible to prevent a user who wants to create an edited image in the normal course from selecting the ID photo course by mistake. .

  In addition, the user who has selected the ID photo course can check the size of the ID photo image obtained by proceeding with the game.

  Information representing the course selected by the user using such a course selection screen is supplied to the sequence management unit 305. Note that, when the time limit has elapsed without selecting any course, for example, a course for two is automatically selected.

  When the ID photo course selection button 404 is operated on the course selection screen, and then the ID photo course is selected by operating the button 411A which is the YES button in FIG. 20, in step S3, the photographing management unit 301 Perform photography processing in the ID Photo Course.

  In step S4, the image processing management unit 302 corresponds to the image processing space 209A corresponding to the image processing space of the image processing space A2-1 and the image processing space A2-2 that is the destination of the user who has finished photographing. Alternatively, the image processing unit 209B is controlled to perform adjustment processing in the ID photo course. In the adjustment process, a photographed image used as the ID photo image is selected, and the selected ID photo image is adjusted.

  In step S5, the print management unit 303 performs print processing in the ID photo course. By the printing process, the adjusted ID photo image is printed on the sticker sheet in accordance with a predetermined layout.

  In step S6, the post-service customer management unit 304 performs post-service processing for a user who is waiting for printing to end. Subsequent customer service processing is performed in parallel with printing processing as appropriate. The subsequent customer service management unit 304 performs a process of transmitting the ID photo image to the mobile terminal as a subsequent customer service process.

  When printing is completed, the sticker paper on which the ID photo image is printed is discharged to the sticker paper discharge port 163. The user takes out the sticker paper from the sticker paper outlet 163 and finishes the series of games. Details of each process performed when the ID photo course is selected will be described later.

  On the other hand, when the normal course is selected by operating the course selection button 401 for two persons, the course selection button 402 for three persons, or the course selection button 403 for four persons on the course selection screen, shooting management is performed in step S7. A unit 301 performs a photographing process in a normal course.

  In step S8, the image processing management unit 302 corresponds to the image processing space 209A corresponding to the image processing space that is the destination of the user who has finished photographing among the image processing space A2-1 and the image processing space A2-2. Alternatively, the image processing unit 209B is controlled to perform editing processing in the normal course. In the editing process, the images to be edited are appropriately switched and each of the plurality of captured images is edited.

  In step S9, the print management unit 303 performs print processing in the normal course. By the printing process, a plurality of edited images are printed on the sticker sheet according to the layout selected by the user.

  In step S10, the post-service customer management unit 304 performs post-service processing for a user who is waiting for printing to end. The post-service customer management unit 304 performs a process of transmitting the edited image to the mobile terminal as a post-service service process.

  When printing is completed, the sticker paper on which the edited image is printed is discharged to the sticker paper discharge port 163. The user takes out the sticker paper from the sticker paper outlet 163 and finishes the series of games. Details of each process performed when the normal course is selected will be described later.

  Each process is appropriately performed in parallel according to the number of users who use the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 and the timing when the use of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 is started. The sequence management unit 305 controls the timing of each process.

  As described above, the user can take an ID photo image using the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 installed in a game center or the like. In addition, since the ID photo image can be taken after the game for receiving the sticker paper on which the edited image is printed, it is not necessary to go to the place where the dedicated machine is installed or the photo studio.

  The main users of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 are female junior and senior high school students, but some female junior and senior high school students have an impression that it is difficult to enter a dedicated machine for taking ID photos. By making it possible to take an ID photo image using the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 installed in a game center or the like, it is possible to easily take an ID photo image.

  The fact that the ID photo image can be taken at the same amount as the game for receiving the sticker paper on which the edited image is printed also leads to the ID photo image being easily taken.

  Furthermore, for users accustomed to the game to receive the sticker paper on which the edited image is printed, the ID photo image can be taken and adjusted while moving the location in the same way as the game, It is possible to proceed with taking an ID photo image without losing operation. Since the adjustment after shooting can be performed in a space different from the shooting space A1, there is little resistance to staying in the same space.

  The shooting space A1 is a large space where a plurality of people can enter and perform shooting. Since such a wide space is ensured, there is less resistance to entering than when shooting in a narrow space where one person can enter.

[Shooting process in ID photo course]
Next, the photographing process in the ID photo course performed in step S3 in FIG. 18 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

  In step S <b> 21, the guidance output control unit 321 of the shooting management unit 301 controls the display control unit 322 to output a pre-shooting guidance by causing the touch panel monitor 92 to display a screen explaining how to shoot.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating an example of a pre-shooting guidance screen.

  An image display area 431 that is a vertically long rectangular area is provided in the approximate center of the pre-shooting guidance screen. The horizontal: vertical ratio of the image display area 431 is, for example, 3: 4 which is the same as the horizontal: vertical ratio of the ID photo image. As described above, the size of the ID photo image is 3 cm × 4 cm in length × length.

  In the image display area 431 of the pre-shooting guidance screen, first, a moving image showing the person H1 as a model is displayed. In the example of FIG. 22, a range from approximately above the chest of the person H1 to slightly above the head is shown. The moving image displayed in the image display area 431 is a moving image in which the person H1 adjusts the appearance.

  In accordance with the display of the video, the guidance output control unit 321 uses, for example, “First of all, check the appearance. "Sound" is output from the speaker 224.

  In addition, in the image display area 431, a still image in a range from substantially above the chest of the person H1 to slightly above the head is displayed following the moving image of the appearance. You may make it display the moving image of the person H1 of the state which adjusts the position of a head etc. instead of a still image.

  As shown in FIG. 22, a guideline indicating a guide for the position and size of the face is displayed over the still image of the person H1. The guideline is a horizontal line 431A that represents the height that serves as a guide for the position of the top of the head, a horizontal line 431B that represents the height that serves as a guide for the position of the chin, and a guide in the horizontal direction of the center of the face. It is comprised from the vertical line 431C showing a position.

  In the still image displayed in the image display area 431, the vertical line 431C passes through the center of the face, the top position of the head is aligned near the horizontal line 431A, and the bottom position of the chin near the horizontal line 431B. Is a still image of the person H1 combined with

  In accordance with the display of the still image, the guidance output control unit 321 uses, for example, “Move the top of the head and the tip of the chin to the red guideline. Extend your back and level your shoulders. Please pull your chin a little, raise your corners and open your eyes, relax and look at the camera. "

  Adjacent to the image display area 431, as appropriate, the explanation of the shooting points, "Let's straighten the bangs", "Let the neck straight", "Let your back straight and level your shoulders", "Chin "Let's pull a little", "Let's raise the corner", "Let's open your eyes well", and other text information.

  In the lower right of the image display area 431, a SKIP button 432 that is operated when the pre-shooting guidance is finished is displayed.

  When the SKIP button 432 is operated or when the pre-shooting guidance is completed, the display control unit 322 starts displaying the live view in step S22. Moving image shooting by the camera 91 is started, and a moving image showing the user obtained by shooting is supplied from the camera control unit 323 to the display control unit 322.

  FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating an example of a live view display screen.

  In the image display area 431 provided in the approximate center of the live view display screen, a moving image showing the person H2 is displayed in real time. The person H2 is the user himself. The user can check his appearance by looking at his / her image displayed in the image display area 431.

  In the image display area 431, the same guideline consisting of the horizontal line 431A, the horizontal line 431B, and the vertical line 431C, which is the same as that displayed on the pre-shooting guidance screen, is displayed on the moving image of the user. The user adjusts the position of the face so that the vertical line 431C passes through the center by changing the standing position to the front, back, left, and right, and aligns the top position of the head with the horizontal line 431A, and the horizontal line 431B The bottom position will be aligned.

  Since the guideline is displayed on the live view as an indication of the position and size of the face, the user can check where to stand and take a picture.

  Although the line indicating the standard of the position and size of the face is displayed as a guideline, the image indicating the standard of the position and size of the face is not limited to a straight line image. For example, the standard position and size of the face may be represented by a curved image, or may be represented by an image having a predetermined shape such as an ellipse.

  In addition, although an image representing the face position and size guide is displayed, an image representing the position and size of the person other than the face may be displayed. For example, an image representing the position and size of the shoulder, the position and size of the eyes, and the position and size of the nose may be displayed.

  Furthermore, although an image that is a guide for both the position and size of the face is displayed, an image that is a guide for either the position or the size may be displayed.

  Since the shooting is performed in a standing state, it is difficult to accurately adjust the position and size of a person (user himself) even when viewing a live view as shown in FIG. As will be described later, the position and size of the person appearing in the photographed image are adjusted at the time of adjusting the ID photo image, and finally determined by the adjustment at that time.

  The first-stage adjustment of the person's position and size that is performed while viewing the live view during shooting is a coarse adjustment that is performed while standing, and the second-stage adjustment that is performed when adjusting the ID photo image is the final adjustment. Fine adjustment. At the time of shooting, the user has only to adjust his / her standing position so that it is approximately the size and appears in the approximate position.

  Note that the shooting range (view angle) of the camera 91 is wider than the range displayed in the image display area 431. A predetermined range is cut out from the moving image shot by the camera 91 and used to display the image display area 431.

  Along with the live view display, voice guidance that prompts you to adjust your appearance and position your face is also output. After such a live view is displayed for a predetermined time, a countdown before photographing is started. The countdown is started, for example, 10 seconds before the shooting timing.

  FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating an example of a live view display screen including a countdown display.

  When the countdown is started, as shown in FIG. 24, the guideline display disappears, and numbers indicating the number of seconds until photographing are displayed on the left and right sides of the image display area 431 in accordance with the countdown by voice. Under the image display area 431, a message “Shoot. Look at the camera.” Is displayed.

  When the shooting timing comes when the live view display screen is displayed on the touch panel monitor 92, in step S23, the camera control unit 323 performs the first still image shooting.

  As the time from the start of the live view display to the first shooting, the time in the ID photo course may be secured longer than the time in the normal course. When the display of the live view display screen shown in FIG. 23 is started, the camera control unit 323 performs the first shooting after a time longer than the time until the first shooting in the normal course has elapsed.

  Due to the nature, the ID photo image has a lower degree of freedom in appearance, subject position, etc. than the edited image obtained during the normal course. By securing a long time until the first shooting after the start of the live view display, users who shoot in the ID Photo Course should adjust their appearance and adjust their standing position to an appropriate position. Can be done over time.

  The camera control unit 323 outputs a captured image, which is a still image obtained by the first shooting, to the display control unit 322 and outputs to the captured image storage unit 324 for storage.

  In step S <b> 24, the camera control unit 323 displays the first shooting result on the touch panel monitor 92.

  FIG. 25 is a diagram illustrating an example of a shooting result confirmation screen.

  In the image display area 431 of the shooting result confirmation screen, a shot image obtained by the previous shooting is displayed. Under the image display area 431, a message “It is a photographing result.” Is displayed. The user can confirm the photographed image photographed immediately before from such a photographing result confirmation screen.

  After the shooting result confirmation screen is displayed for a predetermined time, the live view display is resumed, and the second and subsequent shootings are performed.

  That is, when the live view display screens of FIGS. 23 and 24 are displayed by the display control unit 322 and the second shooting timing is reached, in step S25, the camera control unit 323 performs the second still image shooting. . The camera control unit 323 outputs a captured image obtained by shooting to the display control unit 322 and outputs to the captured image storage unit 324 for storage.

  In step S <b> 26, the display control unit 322 causes the touch panel monitor 92 to display a photographing result confirmation screen that displays a photographed image obtained by the second photographing.

  The above process is repeated for a preset number of times. For example, when the number of times of photographing is set to four, the camera control unit 323 performs the third photographing in step S27, and in step S28, the display control unit 322 displays the photographed image obtained by the third photographing. A shooting result confirmation screen including the image is displayed on the touch panel monitor 92.

  In step S29, the camera control unit 323 performs the fourth shooting, and in step S30, the display control unit 322 causes the touch panel monitor 92 to display a shooting result confirmation screen including a shooting image obtained by the fourth shooting.

  As for the time from the previous shooting to the next shooting, that is, the shooting interval, the time in the ID photo course may be longer than the time in the normal course. The live view is displayed from the previous shooting to the next shooting, so that the user can adjust the appearance for the next shooting and adjust the standing position to an appropriate position. More time can be taken.

  In step S31, the display control unit 322 causes the touch panel monitor 92 to display a normal course introduction screen. On the normal course introduction screen, an image representing the contents of editing of a photographed image that can be performed during the normal course is displayed.

  In step S32, the display control unit 322 guides the user who has finished photographing to move to the image processing space A2-1 or the image processing space A2-2. The movement guidance to the image processing space A2-1 or the image processing space A2-2 is also performed by displaying a screen on the touch panel monitor 92 or by outputting sound from the speaker 224.

  The user goes out of the shooting space A1, moves to the guided image processing space, and adjusts the ID photo image. Thereafter, the process returns to step S3 in FIG. 18, and the subsequent processing is performed.

[Adjustment process in ID photo course]
Next, the ID photo image adjustment process performed in step S4 in FIG. 18 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

  In step S41, the display control unit 332 of the image processing management unit 302 reads and obtains, for example, four captured images obtained by the capturing process from the captured image storage unit 324, and displays an image selection screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131. Let The image selection screen is a screen used to select one photographed image as an ID photo image from four photographed images.

  FIG. 27 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image selection screen.

  In the upper center of the image selection screen, a message “Select one image you want to print” is displayed prompting you to select an image. Below that, four captured images 451-1 to 451-4 are captured. They are displayed in order. The captured images 451-1 to 451-4 are four types of still images obtained by four capturing operations and having different compositions.

  The user selects a favorite photographed image by touching with the touch pen 132A or the touch pen 132B. In the example of FIG. 27, the captured image 451-1 is selected from the captured images 451-1 to 451-4, and the frame of the captured image 451-1 is highlighted by the cursor C.

  Below the photographed images 451-1 to 451-4, an OK button 452 that is operated when determining a photographed image to be used as an ID photo image is displayed.

  FIG. 28 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image selection screen when the number of captured images is three.

  When the number of times of photographing in the photographing process is 3, the user selects one photographed image as an ID photo image from the three photographed images using the image selection screen of FIG. become.

  In this way, the number of times of photographing can be set arbitrarily. Further, the number of photographed images used as ID photo images is not limited to one, and a plurality of photographed images may be selected as ID photo images.

  When one photographed image is selected from the image selection screen and the OK button 452 is operated, in step S42, the display control unit 332 displays a warning screen that is a screen that summarizes various cautions about the ID photograph image. It is displayed on the tablet built-in monitor 131.

  FIG. 29 is a diagram illustrating an example of a warning screen.

  As shown in FIG. 29, on the warning screen, the use of the ID photo image, the contents of the ID photo image correction (adjustment), the type of ID photo image printed on the sticker paper, and the ID photo image printing are displayed. A note about the type of print medium used for printing, the color actually printed, and the like are displayed.

  Under various precautions, a SKIP button 461 that is operated when the display of the warning screen is ended is displayed.

  When the SKIP button 461 is operated or when a predetermined time has elapsed since the warning screen was displayed, the guidance output control unit 331 controls the display control unit 322 to adjust the ID photo image in step S43. The pre-adjustment guidance is output, for example, by displaying a screen explaining the method on the tablet built-in monitor 131.

  FIG. 30 is a diagram illustrating an example of the pre-adjustment guidance screen.

  The pre-adjustment guidance screen is a screen in which only the portion related to the function to be explained is displayed in color in the entire adjustment screen, and the other portions are displayed in gray out.

  In the example of FIG. 30, the adjusted image display area 511 and the button area 512 are displayed in color. The adjustment image display area 511 is a display area for the ID photo image to be adjusted, and the button area 512 is an area in which buttons used for adjusting the position of the person are displayed. Since the guidance before adjustment is being performed, a still image in which the model person H1 is captured is displayed in the adjusted image display area 511.

  In the example of FIG. 30, an explanation of the position adjustment function performed using the buttons displayed in the button area 512 is represented by an arrow image 501 pointing to the button area 512. A sound such as “adjust the position of the first person” is output from the speaker 231 by the guidance output control unit 331 in accordance with the display of FIG. For example, the adjustment of the ID photo image is performed in the order of adjustment of the position of the person, adjustment of the size of the person, adjustment of the background color, and adjustment of the image. Not all of these four types of adjustments are performed, but at least one of the four types of adjustments may be performed. Further, other adjustments such as adjustment of the inclination of the person appearing in the ID photo image may be performed.

  On the pre-adjustment guidance screen, the arrow image 501 moves in accordance with the function being described, and the color display portion is used to adjust the area used for adjusting the size of the person and the background color. The area is switched in the order of the area where the buttons used are displayed and the area where the buttons used for adjusting the image are displayed.

  In response to the switching of the color display portion, sounds such as “adjust the size of the 2nd person”, “select the 3rd background color”, and “adjust the 4th image” are output from the speaker 231. In the upper right of the pre-adjustment guidance screen, a SKIP button 502 that is operated to end the pre-adjustment guidance is also displayed.

  When the SKIP button 502 is operated or when the pre-adjustment guidance is finished, the display control unit 332 displays an adjustment screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131 in step S44. The pre-adjustment guidance is also ended when an operation of pressing the touch pen 132A and touch pen 132B on the pre-adjustment guidance screen is performed without using the SKIP button 502.

  FIG. 31 is a diagram illustrating an example of the adjustment screen.

  In the adjustment image display area 511 at the approximate center of the adjustment screen, an ID photo image showing the user (person H2) is displayed. The ID photograph image displayed in the adjusted image display area 511 is one photographed image selected from the four photographed images on the image selection screen. In the display of the ID photo image in the adjustment image display area 511, the contents of the adjustment performed using the various buttons on the adjustment screen are reflected in real time.

  On the left side of the adjustment image display area 511, a button area 512, a button area 513 that is an area where buttons used for adjusting the size of a person are displayed, and a button used for adjusting the background color are displayed. A button area 514 which is an area is provided.

  On the other hand, on the right side of the adjustment image display area 511, a button area 515, which is an area for displaying buttons used for one-shot retouching, and a button area 516, which is an area for displaying buttons used for discerning retouching, are provided. . A button area 515 and a button area 516 are areas in which buttons used for adjusting the image are displayed.

  FIG. 32 is an enlarged view showing the button area 512, the button area 513, and the button area 514 of FIG.

  In the button area 512, a left button 512A, a right button 512B, an up button 512C, and a down button 512D are displayed. The left button 512A is a button that is operated when the position of the person is moved in the left direction, and the right button 512B is a button that is operated when the position of the person is moved in the right direction. The upper button 512C is a button operated when the position of the person is moved upward, and the lower button 512D is a button operated when the position of the person is moved downward. Each time the button displayed in the button area 512 is pressed, the position of the person moves by a predetermined amount.

  In the button area 513, a minus button 513A and a plus button 513B are displayed. The minus button 513A is a button operated when reducing the size of the person, and the plus button 513B is a button operated when increasing the size of the person. Each time the button displayed in the button area 513 is pressed, the size of the person changes by a predetermined amount.

  The adjustment using the button displayed in the button area 512 and the button displayed in the button area 513 is the second-stage adjustment of the position and size of the person.

  FIG. 33 is a diagram illustrating a display example of an adjustment screen at the time of second-stage adjustment of the position and size of a person.

  When adjusting the position and size of a person, as in live view display, the adjustment image display area 511 displays a guideline composed of horizontal lines 511A, 511B and vertical lines 511C overlaid on the ID photo image. . A horizontal line 511A represents a height serving as a guide for the top position of the head, and a horizontal line 511B represents a height serving as a guide for the position of the chin. Further, the vertical line 511C represents a position that is a guide in the horizontal direction of the center of the face.

  For example, when adjusting the position of the person, a voice such as “Adjust the position of the person. Adjust according to the position of the guideline” is output from the speaker 231 by the guidance output control unit 331. Further, when adjusting the size of the person, a voice such as “Adjust the size of the person. Adjust according to the size of the guideline” is output from the speaker 231 by the guidance output control unit 331.

  The user operates the buttons displayed in the button area 512 and the button area 513 to align the face so that the vertical line 511C passes through the center, and aligns the top position of the head to the horizontal line 511A. The bottom position of the chin is aligned with the horizontal line 511B.

  In this way, only the rough adjustment is performed at the time of photographing, and then the fine adjustment is performed using the touch pens 132A and 132B at the time of adjustment of the ID photo image, so that the position and size of the person in the ID photo image can be adjusted. It becomes possible to adjust accurately.

  Similar to the first-stage adjustment at the time of shooting, the image representing the standard position and size of the face is not limited to a straight line image. In addition, an image representing the position and size of a part of a person other than the face may be displayed. Furthermore, an image that serves as an indication of either the position or size of the face may be displayed.

  Since the adjustment at the first stage during shooting is a coarse adjustment, only an image that is one of the approximate positions and sizes of the face is displayed, and at the second adjustment, which is a fine adjustment, the face is adjusted. It is also possible to display an image that serves as an indication of both the position and size.

  When displaying the live view, the user needs to check the appearance by looking at the live view. By reducing the information to be displayed over the live view, it becomes easier for the user to confirm his / her appearance.

  34A and 34B are diagrams illustrating an example of image processing when adjusting the position and size of a person.

  34A and 34B is the entire image of the ID photograph image, and the range indicated by the frame F1 is the range displayed in the adjusted image display area 511. In shooting, data in a range wider than the range displayed on the tablet built-in monitor 131 is acquired, and the position and size of the person can be adjusted on the acquired image so as to change the range in the frame F1. Done.

  For example, each time the left button 512A of the button area 512 is operated, the adjustment unit 334 moves the range of the frame F1 to the right by a predetermined amount as indicated by the white arrow # 11 in FIG. The position of the person in the frame F1 is moved leftward. Further, each time the right button 512B is operated, the adjustment unit 334 moves the range of the frame F1 to the left by a predetermined amount as indicated by the white arrow # 12, and moves the position of the person in the frame F1 to the right Move in the direction.

  Similarly, when the upper button 512C and the lower button 512D of the button area 512 are operated, the adjustment unit 334 moves the range of the frame F1 downward by a predetermined amount as indicated by white arrows # 13 and # 14, respectively. Alternatively, the position is moved upward to move the position of the person in the frame F1.

  Further, every time the minus button 513A of the button area 513 is operated, the adjustment unit 334 widens the range to be accommodated in the frame F1 by a predetermined amount as indicated by the outward white arrow # 21 in FIG. The position of the person in F1 is reduced. Further, every time the plus button 513B is operated, the adjustment unit 334 narrows the range to be accommodated in the frame F1 by a predetermined amount as indicated by the inward white arrow # 22, and the position of the person in the frame F1 is reduced. Enlarge.

  When the adjustment is completed, the range within the frame F1 is cut out from the image P41 by trimming and used as an ID photo image.

  When adjusting the position of the person, for example, if the position of the person is shifted too much downward, the position of the upper side of the frame F1 in FIG. 34A becomes a position above the position of the upper side of the captured image P41, and the image is captured in the frame F1. A range outside the area of the image P41 may be included (data of the photographed image may not include data in the area above the person). In that case, a background area (transparent background area) is added to the range included in the frame F1 above the photographed image P41 in order to prevent a margin from being generated above the person displayed in the adjusted image display area 511. Processing is performed.

  Similarly, when adjusting the size of a person, the frame F11 in FIG. 34B is larger than the captured image P41, and the frame F11 includes a range outside the region of the captured image P41. Yes (there may be no data of the area around the person as the data of the photographed image). In this case, a background area (transparent background area) is added to a range outside the area of the captured image P41 included in the frame F1 so that no margin is generated around the person displayed in the adjusted image display area 511. Processing is performed.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 32, in the button area 514, background color selection buttons 514A to 514F used for selecting the color of the background image are displayed. The background color selection buttons 514A to 514F are buttons of different colors. As described with reference to FIG. 11, the ID photo image is configured by combining the subject of the captured image with the background image.

  The adjustment unit 334 changes the background image to be combined with the subject of the captured image and adjusts the color in response to the operation of the background color selection buttons 514A to 514F. For example, when the background is adjusted, a sound such as “Select a background. If there is a background color designation in the provision of the destination, please choose according to the rule.” Is output from the speaker 231.

  FIG. 35 is an enlarged view of the button area 515 and the button area 516 shown in FIG.

  In the button area 515, mode selection buttons 515A to 515C that are operated when adjusting the image using the one-shot retouch function are displayed. The one-shot retouch function is a function that adjusts the brightness, skin quality, impression of eyes, and hair color of the user in the ID photo image in one operation. .

  For example, there are three types of brightness that are named “Healthy”, “Recommended (Natural)”, and “Brighter” for skin brightness, and “Mat” and “Recommended” for skin quality. (Natural) ”and“ Soft ”names are prepared. There are three types of impressions with names of “gentle”, “recommended (natural)”, and “clearly”. The hair color is “dark”, “recommended (natural)”, Three types of hair colors with the name “brighter” are prepared.

  The mode selection buttons 515A to 515C are buttons that are operated when the image is collectively adjusted in a mode in which the names “cleanliness”, “healthy”, and “gorgeous” are set, respectively.

  FIG. 36 is a diagram illustrating an example of a combination of reflections used when each mode of one-shot retouch is selected.

  “Cleanliness” mode is a mode in which the skin brightness is set to “Recommended (Natural)”, the skin quality is set to “Recommended (Natural)”, the eye impression is set to “Gentle”, and the hair color is set to “Dark”. . The “healthy” mode is a mode in which the skin brightness is set to “healthy”, the skin quality is set to “mat”, the eye impression is set to “recommended (natural)”, and the hair color is set to “recommended (natural)”. is there. The “gorgeous” mode is a mode in which the skin brightness is set to “bright”, the skin quality is set to “soft”, the eye impression is set to “clear”, and the hair color is set to “bright”. Naturally, the combination of each mode and the image is not limited to that shown in FIG. 36, and other combinations may be used.

  In the button area 516, buttons that are operated by discerning retouching, which is a function for individually adjusting the skin brightness, skin quality, eye impression, and hair color without using the one-shot retouching function, are displayed.

  FIG. 46 is a diagram illustrating an example of a live view display screen.

  A message “I will shoot!” Is displayed at the upper center of the live view display screen, and a user in the shooting space A1 is shot in a live view display area 701, which is a rectangular area provided below the message. The resulting video is displayed. In the example of FIG. 46, it is assumed that two users who have selected a normal course for two on the course selection screen of FIG. 19 are shooting.

  On the left of the live view display area 701, a message for guiding the adjustment of the head position along the upper side of the live view display area 701 is displayed. Below the live view display area 701, shooting result display areas 702-1 to 702-6, which are rectangular areas smaller than the live view display area 701, are arranged in two rows and three columns.

  The normal course still images are taken, for example, six times. In the shooting result display areas 702-1 to 702-6, the shot images obtained by shooting are displayed in the shooting order each time shooting is performed. In the example of FIG. 46, since no shooting has been performed yet, no image is displayed in the shooting result display areas 702-1 to 702-6.

  The user can check the shooting result while performing shooting while adjusting the position of his / her face while viewing such a live view display screen. The display of the live view display screen is continued until 6 shootings are completed.

  When the shooting timing comes when the live view display screen is displayed on the touch panel monitor 92, in step S103, the camera control unit 323 performs the first still image shooting. The camera control unit 323 outputs a captured image, which is a still image obtained by shooting, to the display control unit 322 and outputs to the captured image storage unit 324 for storage.

  The photographed image output to the display control unit 322 is reduced and displayed in the photographing result display area 702-1 on the live view display screen. The user can prepare for the next shooting while confirming the first shooting result.

  Thereafter, the second and subsequent shootings are performed. In other words, when the second shooting timing is reached, in step S104, the camera control unit 323 shoots a second still image. The camera control unit 323 outputs a photographed image obtained by photographing to the display control unit 322 and displays it in the photographing result display area 702-2 of the live view display screen, and outputs and stores the photographed image storage unit 324 in the photographed image storage unit 324. .

  In steps S105 to S108, the camera control unit 323 shoots the third to sixth still images, respectively. The camera control unit 323 outputs the photographed image obtained by photographing to the display control unit 322 and displays it on the live view display screen, and also outputs to the photographed image storage unit 324 for storage.

  In step S <b> 109, the display control unit 322 displays a graffiti introduction screen on the touch panel monitor 92.

The contents of the editing tool prepared on the editing screen change according to the user name input on the name input screen. For example, a stamp image representing the name of the user is prepared as an editing tool.

  In step S122, the display control unit 332 reads and acquires, for example, six photographed images obtained by the photographing process from the photographed image storage unit 324, and displays the eye & face size adjustment screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131. The eye & face size adjustment screen is a screen used to adjust the size of the user's eyes and face that appear in the captured image.

  FIG. 48 is a diagram showing an example of an eye & face size adjustment screen.

  In the upper center of the eye & face size adjustment screen, a message “Please select eye size and face size for each person” is displayed, and below that, a face image display area 721L and a face image display area 721R are displayed. Provided apart. The face image display area 721L is an area in which a face of a person shown on the left side, which is cut out from a captured image showing two users, is displayed in an enlarged manner, and the face image display area 721R is shown on the right side. This is an area in which a person's face is enlarged and displayed. For example, the face area of a person cut out from the first photographed image is displayed in the face image display area 721L and the face image display area 721R.

  A button area 722L is provided below the face image display area 721L, and a button area 722R is provided below the face image display area 721R. The user standing on the left side of the tablet built-in monitor 131 operates the button displayed in the button area 722L using the touch pen 132A prepared on the left side of the tablet built-in monitor 131, and his / her own displayed in the button area 722L. The size of the eyes and face of the image will be adjusted. On the other hand, the user standing on the right side of the tablet built-in monitor 131 operates the button displayed in the button area 722R using the touch pen 132B prepared on the right side of the tablet built-in monitor 131, and is displayed in the button area 722R. You will adjust the size of your eyes and face.

  In the upper part of the button area 722L, eye size selection buttons 731-1L to 731-3L, which are buttons used for adjusting the eye size, are displayed. In the eye size selection buttons 731-1L to 731-3L, images of different sizes cut out from the captured image by trimming are displayed.

  The eye size selection button 731-1L is a button that is operated when selecting the size of the captured image as it is as the eye size, and the eye size selection button 731-2L selects a slightly larger size. This button is sometimes operated. The eye size selection button 731-3L is a button operated when selecting a large size.

  In the lower part of the button area 722L, face size selection buttons 732-1L to 732-3L, which are buttons used for adjusting the face size, are displayed. The face size selection buttons 732-1L to 732-3L display face images of different sizes cut out from the captured image by trimming.

  The face size selection button 732-1L is a button operated when selecting the size of the face as it is in the photographed image, and the face size selection button 732-2L selects a slightly smaller size. This button is sometimes operated. The face size selection button 732-3L is a button operated when a small size is selected.

  An OK button 733L that is operated when the adjustment of the size of the eyes and the face is finished is displayed at the lower right of the button area 722L.

  The same button as that displayed in the button area 722L is also displayed in the button area 722R. In the upper part of the button area 722R, eye size selection buttons 731-1R to 731-3R which are buttons used for adjusting the eye size are displayed, and in the lower part, buttons used for adjusting the face size. Certain face size selection buttons 732-1R to 732-3R are displayed. An OK button 733R that is operated when the adjustment of the size of the eyes and the face is finished is displayed at the lower right of the button area 722R.

  When any one of the eye size selection buttons 731-1L to 731-3L is operated, in step S123, the adjustment unit 334 displays the person displayed in the face image display area 721L from each captured image. The eye area of the same person is detected, and the size of the eye included in the detected area is adjusted according to the selected size.

  In addition, when any one of the face size selection buttons 732-1L to 732-3L is operated, the adjustment unit 334 is the same as the person displayed in the face image display area 721L from each captured image. A human face area is detected, and the size of the face included in the detected area is adjusted according to the selected size.

  Similarly, when the eye size selection buttons 731-1R to 731-3R are operated, or when the face size selection buttons 732-1R to 732-3R are operated, the adjustment unit 334 appears in each captured image. The size of the eyes and face of the same person as the person displayed in the face image display area 721R is adjusted. When the OK button 733L and the OK button 733R are operated, the adjustment of the size of the eyes and the face is finished.

  As described above, the face size adjustment that is not performed when the ID photograph image is adjusted can be performed when the captured image is edited. If the user can adjust the size of the user's face in the ID photo image according to his / her preference, the authenticity of the ID photo image is impaired, which is not preferable. By setting the contents that can be adjusted when editing the photographed image but not when adjusting the ID photo image, it is possible to prevent the authenticity of the ID photo image from being impaired.

  When editing a shot image, you can apply makeup-like image processing to the shot image or reduce the shape of the face, but these adjustments can no longer be done when adjusting the ID photo image. It is also possible to set a difference between the contents of the process in editing the photographed image and adjusting the ID photo image.

  In step S124, the display control unit 322 causes the tablet built-in monitor 131 to display a brightness adjustment screen, which is a screen used for adjusting the brightness of the skin of the user shown in the captured image.

  FIG. 49 is a diagram illustrating an example of a brightness adjustment screen.

  A message “Please select brightness” is displayed at the upper center of the brightness adjustment screen, and a display area 741 is provided below it. In the display area 741, for example, the first photographed image selected from the six photographed images is displayed.

  In a button area 742 below the display area 741, brightness selection buttons 751-1 to 751-5, which are buttons used to adjust the brightness of the skin, are displayed. The button displayed on the left side is a button operated when selecting darker skin, and the button displayed on the right side is operated when selecting lighter skin. is there. Images obtained by changing the skin color of the person appearing in the captured image displayed in the display area 741 are used as the brightness selection buttons 751-1 to 751-5.

  On the right side of the brightness selection button 751-5, an OK button 752 operated when the brightness adjustment is finished is displayed.

  When any one of the brightness selection buttons 751-1 to 755-5 is operated, in step S125, the adjustment unit 334 detects a human skin region from each captured image, and the detected region. Are adjusted according to the selected brightness. When the OK button 752 is operated, the brightness adjustment is finished.

  In step S126, the display control unit 322 causes the tablet built-in monitor 131 to display a background selection screen, which is a screen used to select a user's background in the captured image.

  FIG. 50 is a diagram illustrating an example of the background selection screen.

  In the upper center of the background selection screen, a message “Please select your favorite set background” is displayed, and below it, six captured images are displayed in two rows and three columns. The set background is a set of background images set in advance, and includes a plurality of background images selected along a predetermined theme. When there are six captured images, one set background is composed of a combination of six background images. The user can select a set background to be combined with the captured images 771-1 to 771-6 from the background selection screen in FIG.

  The photographed images 771-1 to 771-3 are arranged in order from the left in the upper part of the six photographed images, and the photographed images 771-4 to 771-6 are arranged in order from the left in the lower part. The captured images 771-1 to 771-6 are arranged in the order of shooting, for example.

  The captured images 771-1 to 771-6 are images that have been subjected to adjustment of the size of the eyes and the size of the face. The background of the two users captured as subjects is white inside the imaging space A1. A solid wall (inside the back panel 51) is shown. The background of the user shown in the captured images 771-1 to 771-6 is changed in real time according to the selection of the background image.

  Under the photographed images 771-1 to 771-6, a background image palette 772 that is a horizontally long region in which a set background as an option or a sample image of the background image is displayed is displayed. The background image palette 772 is configured such that tabs 791L to 794L are vertically arranged on the left side of the display area 781, and tabs 791R to 794R are vertically arranged on the right side.

  A name is set for each tab, and a set background sample image belonging to the selected tab group is displayed in the display area 781. In the example of FIG. 50, the tab 791L and the tab 791R are in a selected state and are displayed larger than the other tabs.

  In the display area 781, eight types of set backgrounds 801-1 to 801-8 which are set background sample images (set background sample images) are displayed side by side in an upper row and four in the lower row. The set backgrounds 801-1 to 801-8 are set backgrounds composed of background images of predetermined colors. Each of the six background images constituting each set background is used for synthesizing photographed images arranged at corresponding positions.

  A button 802 and a button 803 displayed on the right side of the set background 801-8 select whether or not to display a person (a user shown in the photographed image) on the set backgrounds 801-1 to 801-8. This button is sometimes operated.

  In the example of FIG. 50, for example, the set background 801-1 is selected with the touch pen 132A by the user on the left side, and the cursor C is displayed so as to surround the set background 801-1. Since the set background 801-1 is selected, the captured images 771-1 to 771-6 are displayed in a state where the background images constituting the set background 801-1 are combined.

  On the right side of the captured images 771-1 to 771-6, an OK button 773 that is operated when the selection of the background is finished is displayed. For example, when the OK button 773 is pressed while the set background 801-2 is selected, the background selection is completed, and the background images constituting the set background 801-2 are combined with the captured image.

  When the OK button 773 on the background selection screen is pressed, in step S127, the adjustment unit 334 adjusts the background of the captured image by combining the background images selected by the user (background images constituting the background set). Then, a captured image to be edited is generated. The captured image to be edited is an image in which the size of the user's eyes and face, the brightness of the skin, and the background of the captured image are adjusted.

  When the selection of the background image is completed, in step S128, the display control unit 332 displays the editing screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131.

<Modification>
[Example of selecting a shot image to be edited]
In the above, during the normal course, all the captured images obtained by the shooting process are used as the editing target. However, only the shooting image selected from the shooting images obtained by the shooting process is the editing target. It may be used. For example, when six shootings are performed in the shooting process, four shot images selected from six shot images are used as editing targets.

  When a photographic image to be edited is selected, the selection is performed in the photographic space A1. That is, in the ID photo course, the selection of one photographed image as the ID photo image is performed in the image processing space A2-1 or A2-2 before the adjustment of the ID photo image. During the course, the selection of the photographic image to be edited is performed in the photographic space A1 before moving to the image processing space A2-1 or A2-2.

  Here, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 58, a shooting process in a normal course when a shot image to be edited is selected will be described. The process of FIG. 58 is a process performed in step S7 of FIG.

That is, in step S201, the guidance output control unit 321 of the shooting management unit 301 outputs pre-shooting guidance, and in step S202, the display control unit 322 starts displaying a live view.

  In steps S203 to S208, the camera control unit 323 performs the first to sixth still image shooting. The camera control unit 323 outputs six captured images to the display control unit 322 and outputs to the captured image storage unit 324 for storage.

  In step S209, the display control unit 322 causes the touch panel monitor 92 to display a selection screen for a captured image to be edited. For example, six captured images are displayed side by side on the selection screen. The user touches the touch panel monitor 92 with a finger or the like, and selects a predetermined number of photographed images, such as four, from six photographed images as an editing target.

  When the selection of the photographed image to be edited is completed, in step S210, the display control unit 322 displays a graffiti introduction screen on the touch panel monitor 92, and in step S211, the image processing space A2-1 or the image processing space A2 is displayed. Guide the move to -2.

  The user goes out of the shooting space A1, moves to the guided image processing space, and edits the shot image selected as the editing target. Thereafter, the process returns to step S7 in FIG. 18, and the subsequent processing is performed.

  As described above, by selecting the captured image to be edited in the imaging space A1, it is possible to ensure a long time for editing. It is preferable that the editing time is as long as possible, because handwritten characters are input and complicated operations are involved, and it is necessary to edit a plurality of photographed images.

  On the other hand, the adjustment of the ID photo image performed in the image processing space A2-1 or A2-2 during the ID photo course is only performed by pressing a button and selecting from the options as described with reference to FIG. Compared to the regular course editing, it takes less time. In addition, there is one image to be adjusted.

  In the ID photo course, the photographed image to be used as the ID photo image is selected in the image processing space A2-1 or A2-2, so that the ID photo course is executed in the image processing space A2-1 or A2-2. It is possible to balance the work time and the work time performed in the image processing space A2-1 or A2-2 during the normal course, and the game can be efficiently advanced. When the difference in the time of work performed in the image processing space A2-1 or A2-2 for each course is large, the game cannot be efficiently advanced as described with reference to FIGS. There is, but it becomes possible to prevent such a thing.
