The ROM 12 comprises a program ROM 12a for storing the program, a basic part pattern ROM 14, and a composite change order pattern ROM 15. As shown in FIG. 4, the basic part pattern data ROM 14 stores part pattern data of ten parts such as contours, hairstyles, eyes... 50 types are stored. Synthetic change order pattern ROM1
5, N synthetic change order patterns from 1 to N are stored as shown in FIG. Each synthetic change order pattern indicates a priority order when synthesizing each part constituting the face or body. For example, in the case of pattern 1, eyes (1) → mouth (2) → nose (3) → This indicates that synthesis is performed in the order of hairstyle (4) → contour (5). In the case of pattern 3, nose (1) → mouth (2) → eyes (3) → hairstyle (4) → contour (5) .. Indicates that the composition is performed in the order of both hands (10) and both feet (11).

The RAM 13 is provided with a display register 130 and a data synthesizing work area 131 as shown in FIG. Further, in the RAM 13, a personal data area 134 for storing personal data of 50 persons in items 1 to 50 and a montage part pattern No. Montage parts pattern NO. Area 135, all part patterns NO. Are copied, the synthetic base montage area 136 is copied, and the part patterns NO. Are stored for each synthesis result. In the personal data area 134 of each item, the data input key 10
, The name, the address, the telephone, and the age entered are stored, and the base part pattern NO. Area 135 includes eyebrows, eyes,
.. and the like are shown in FIG. Is stored.

Next, the operation of this embodiment having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIG. That is, FIG. 7 is a general flow of the present embodiment. First, a process of inputting and registering personal data is executed (SA
1). This input / registration processing is executed in accordance with the flow shown in FIG. 8 on condition that the personal key 6a is turned on (SB1). If the personal key 6a is turned on, it is determined whether or not personal data has been input by operating the data input key 10 (SB2). If personal data has been input, the input personal data is displayed. 6 is written to the personal data area 134 of the RM 13 shown in FIG.
B3).

Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the registration key 6h is turned on (SB4), and the loop of SB2 to SB4 is repeated until the registration key 6h is turned on. Therefore, by operating the data input key 10 during that time,
When a name, an address, a telephone number, and an age are input, each input data is written in any of the items 1 to 50 shown in FIG. 6 which are preset at this time. When the input of data to be written in items such as name, address, telephone number, age, etc. is completed, the registration key 6h is operated to return from the flow of FIG. 8 to the general flow of FIG. In the general flow of FIG.
In SA2 that follows, one of the montage to be synthesized is created.
Execute the registration process. The processing of SA2 is executed in accordance with the flow shown in FIG. 9 on condition that the composite key 6b is operated (SC1). If the composite key 6b is operated, the basic pattern in the basic part pattern ROM 16 is stored. The part pattern No. corresponding to the part pattern Each "0"
1 "is set (SC2). Here, the basic type part pattern NO. “01” is the part pattern No. stored in the 01 row from “contour” of “1” to “both feet” of part “10” shown in FIG. Data, and therefore, from “1” “outline” to “10” “both legs” stored in the 01 column by the processing of SC2
Each part pattern NO. If the data is the montage part pattern NO. The information is stored and set in the area 135.

Subsequently, a data synthesizing process (SC3) is executed. This data synthesizing process is performed according to the flow shown in FIG. That is, the aforementioned montage parts pattern NO. Each part pattern No. set in area 135 First, the contour part pattern No. (In this case, “01”) is read and (S
D1), the read contour part pattern NO. Is stored in the RAM 13
To the montage synthesis area 132 (SD
2) Then, the hairstyle part pattern NO. Is read (SD3), and the read hairstyle part pattern NO. Is transferred to the montage synthesis area 132 (SD4). Further, the same processing is performed on other parts such as eyes, nose, mouth, etc. (SD5), and the image synthesized in the montage synthesis area 132 is displayed on the first display unit 5 (SD6). Therefore, by the processing of SD6, the first display unit 5 displays the information shown in FIG.
Each of the part patterns NO. Stored in the 01 column from the “outline” of the part “1” to the “both feet” of the part “10”. Is displayed as a basic image of the whole body composed of the part pattern data corresponding to.

On the other hand, in SC4 following SC3 in FIG. 9, it is determined whether or not the outline key 7b has been operated (SC4). If the outline key 7b has been operated, the part pattern NO. Is "02" from "01" which is initially set
Is stored in the outline area of the RAM 13 and then the data synthesizing process (SC
Execute 3). Therefore, each time the outline key 7b is operated, the part pattern No. of the outline “01” in the whole body image displayed on the first display unit 5 is displayed each time. From the part pattern corresponding to the part pattern NO. Is changed to the part pattern corresponding to “02” and displayed. In this case, since 50 types of contour part patterns are stored, by continuously operating the contour key 7b, the contour of the whole body image can be changed and displayed by 50 patterns. Then, when the contour most similar to the actual face and body shape of the synthesized person from among the 50 types is displayed on the first display unit 5, when the hairstyle key 7c is operated next, the determination of SC6 becomes YES. And the hairstyle part pattern NO. Is simultaneously changed from "01" to "02" (SD7), and the hairstyle in the whole body image is changed and displayed to the corresponding hairstyle. In this case, since 50 types of hairstyle part patterns are also stored, the hairstyle of the whole body image can be changed and displayed for 50 patterns by operating the hairstyle key 7c.

Similarly, the eye key 7d shown in FIG.
-The two-foot key 7j is operated to obtain a part number corresponding to a part pattern similar to each part pattern constituting the actual face and body shape of the person to be synthesized. Is changed from the first displayed full-body image to a whole-body image similar to the subject. Then, when a full-body image similar to the synthesized person is displayed, the OK key ("O"
K ". ). Then, the process proceeds from SC16 to SC17, where the montage part pattern No. of the item in which the name of the person to whom the personal data has been inputted in the flow of FIG. In the area 135, each of the part patterns NO. Is stored. In FIG. 6, "None" written in the area of both hands and both feet means
Without operating the two-hand key 7h and the two-foot key 7j,
In this case, the user operates the K key. In this case, the other part patterns except for the two-hand part pattern and the two-foot part pattern are used. Only is stored.

On the other hand, in the general flow of FIG.
In SA3 following A2, the other montage creation / registration processing to be combined is executed. The other montage creation / registration process (SA3) to be synthesized is also executed according to the flowchart of FIG. 9 described above. Therefore, if one montage to be synthesized is “A” and the other montage is “Otsu”, the personal data of Kobo and Otsu are stored as shown in FIG. 6 when the processing of SA2 and SA3 is completed. Montage parts pattern NO. In the area 135, each of the part patterns NO. Is stored.

In the general flow shown in FIG.
In SA4 following A3, a synthesis base face selection storage process is executed. The process of SA4 is a process for selecting any one of the base faces when two faces are combined. After operating the combined base face selection key 6d shown in FIG. This operation is performed by inputting the name of the person who will be the base face. For example, when the instep is the base face, after operating the synthetic base face selection key 6d, the data input key 10 is operated to input the instep name. As a result, as shown in FIG. Are copied to the composite montage area 136.

Further, in SA5 following SA4, a combined change pattern selection process is executed. This composite change pattern selection process is performed according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 11, and firstly waits until the selection pattern key 6e is operated (SE1). Then, when the selection pattern key 6e is operated, an arbitrary pattern is automatically selected from the composite change pattern ROM (FIG. 5) (SE2). After a while, the montage parts pattern N
O. From the area 135, the priority No. in the selected pattern is displayed. No. 1 part pattern NO. Overwrites the corresponding parts in the area for the synthetic base montage (SE3).
That is, as shown in FIG. 6, in the area for synthetic base montage, the montage part pattern No. Has been copied.

In the case of combining this with the second party, the pattern N
O. 1 is automatically selected, the pattern N
O. As described above, the priority order of the eyes is (1) → mouth (2) → nose (3) → hairstyle (4) → contour (5). It is one. Also, the "eyes" on the instep
Part pattern No. Is "50", and the part pattern No. Is “02”, the eye part pattern NO. “02” is overwritten on “50”. Therefore, after overwriting in this manner, in the next synthesis processing (SA6), all part patterns NO. Is displayed, a composite face in which only the eyes of the instep's face are parts of Party B is displayed. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not to synthesize the next part (SA7). At this time, when the GO key 6f is operated, the synthesis processing of SA6 is executed again. That is, the pattern NO. Priority of 1 "eye (1) → mouth (2)
→ Nose (3) → Hairstyle (4) → Contour (5) ”, the mouth has the next priority, so in this synthesis processing, the mouth part pattern No. Is overwritten from “01” on the instep to “04” on the second party, so that the part pattern NO. Changes as follows.

[0020] When the END key 6g is operated when the determination of SA7 is performed again, the process proceeds from SA7 to SA8, and it is determined whether or not the synthesis is performed again. Here, when the GO key 6f is operated, the process from SA4 is executed, and when the END key 6g is operated, the process proceeds to SA9, and it is determined whether or not the synthesis is restarted from the beginning. (SA9). Then, when the GO key 6f is operated, the processing from SA2 is executed again, and when the END key 6g is operated, the processing is ended. At the end of this processing, all the part patterns NO. Is stored in the combiner area 137.
As a result, "01 02"
... 02 04 03 None None " Is stored. Therefore, this part pattern NO. By performing the display based on this, as shown in FIG. 12, the synthesizer A in which the eyes and the mouth are replaced with the parts of the second party based on the face of the instep is displayed.

In the description of the embodiment, the pattern NO.
In the priority order of 1 (eye (1) → mouth (2) → nose (3) → hairstyle (4) → contour (5)), the processing is finished up to the mouth having the second priority, If the continuation is continued, the face will resemble the face of Party B from the face of Party A, and if the contour is continued up to the outline (5), the face will shift from the face of Party A to Party B. Therefore, by terminating the process at an arbitrary time, it is possible to create a composite face having a different degree of influence between Party A and Party B depending on the end point. The same applies to a case where a combination of other persons such as B and H is combined. In addition, in the embodiment, two montages are synthesized. However, when a plurality of montages are synthesized, similarly, based on an arbitrary one of the montages, the constituent part pattern is changed to a part of another montage. What is necessary is just to replace it with a pattern.
