[0028]
The person image registration request unit 202 of the terminal device 200 sets the above-described user ID and password, requests connection to the simulation image generation device 100 via the network, and transmits the person image data obtained by the imaging unit 201. . As a method for transmitting the person image data to the simulation image generating apparatus 100, when a camera-equipped mobile phone is used, the person image data is sent to the simulation image generating apparatus 100 as an attached file of the e-mail. What should I do? In this way, the existing image data transmission function in the camera-equipped mobile phone can be used as it is.
[0029]
The person image registration means 103 of the simulation image generation apparatus 100 receives person image data from the terminal apparatus 200 via the network, and registers these person image data in the storage means so that each terminal apparatus can be easily searched ( Step 304). In this case, an upper limit value of human images that can be registered per terminal device may be provided. When the person image registration unit 103 completes the climbing of the person image, a registration completion notification is transmitted to the terminal device 200 by e-mail or the like. The transformation process request unit 203 of the terminal device 200 transmits a selection screen transmission request for requesting transmission of a selection screen for selecting what kind of transformation to perform to the simulation image generation apparatus 100.
[0030]
When receiving the selection screen transmission request from the terminal device 200, the transformation object selection unit 104 of the simulation image generation apparatus 100 registers the person image corresponding to the terminal device 200 that transmitted the selection screen transmission request by the person image registration unit 103.

[0033]
The selection screen generation operation in the simulation image generation device 100 and the transformation target selection operation based on the selection screen in the terminal device 200 are normally repeated a plurality of times in order to narrow down the selection target. When the transformation image composition unit 105 of the simulation image generation apparatus 100 receives the selection result of the person image to be transformed, the transformation part to be transformed, and the type of the transformation content from the terminal device 200, the selection result is received from the person image registration unit 103. The person image selected from the person images corresponding to the terminal device that has received is extracted. Also, the information for synthesis corresponding to the transformation part to be transformed and the type of the transformation content is read from the synthesis database 101. Based on the composition information read out from the composition database 101, the person image is synthesized with the person image retrieved from the person image registration means 103 so that the change part to be transformed is the type of the selected transformation content. (Step 307).
[0034]
Specifically, for example, a transformation part of a person image is extracted by extracting a transformation part from the selected person image, reading out synthesis information of the transformation part from the synthesis database 101, and pasting it on the extracted transformation part. Is synthesized. In the case of transformation that changes only the face portion of the model image, the model image from which the face portion of the model image is removed is obtained from the synthesis database 101, and the face portion is extracted from the selected person image and extracted. The face part is synthesized by pasting it on the model image from which the face part is removed.
[0035]
The transformation result registration unit 106 registers the person image after the transformation synthesized by the transformation image synthesis unit 105 in the storage unit so that it can be searched for each terminal device. In this case, an upper limit value of the person image after transformation that can be registered for each terminal device may be provided. When the registration of the transformed human image is completed, a transformation process completion notification is transmitted to the terminal device 200 by e-mail or the like (step 308).
[0036]
When the transformation result transmission unit 107 of the simulation image generation apparatus 100 receives the transmission request for the person image after transformation from the terminal device 200, the transformation result registration unit 106 transmits the transformation image corresponding to the terminal device 200 that transmitted the transmission request. Read, change to a form that can be displayed on the terminal device 200, and transmit. When there are a plurality of corresponding human images after transformation, the human images may be displayed sequentially or in a list display by reducing the human images (step 309). The transformation result acquisition means 204 of the terminal device 200 receives the transformation image from the simulation image generation device 100 and displays it (step 310).
[0037]
When the user wants to send the displayed transformation image to the communication partner, the image transmission unit 206 of the terminal device 200 transmits the transformation image designated by the partner. When a camera-equipped mobile phone is used, the e-mail may be sent to the communication partner with the transformed image data as an e-mail attachment. In this way, the existing image data transmission function of the camera-equipped mobile phone can be used as it is. Therefore, since a transformed image of the user or his friend can be easily sent to any communication partner, the range of use can be expanded in the sense of play.
[0038]
When the user wants to delete a person image already registered or a person image after change, the person image deletion request unit 205 of the terminal device 200 designates the person image to be deleted to the simulation image generation device 100. Make a delete request. The person image deletion unit 108 of the simulation image generation apparatus 100 deletes the person image designated by the deletion request from the person image registration unit 103 or the transformation result registration unit 106.
[0039]
The product sales unit 109 of the simulation image generating apparatus 100 transmits the advertisement information related to the product corresponding to the transformed part to the terminal device 200 and receives the product purchase request from the product purchase request unit 207 of the terminal device 200, thereby You can also mediate sales. The billing unit 110 of the simulation image generating apparatus 100 performs billing processing to collect a charge for using the transformation service from the user and an advertisement fee for the product from the manufacturer.
[0040]
Next, a configuration example of the selection screen when the transformation part is hair will be described with reference to FIG.

The selection screen is preferably configured so that the user can easily select a hair type. For example, classification by user's gender, classification by the recommendation of the provider of hair information, classification by user's usage frequency, classification by classification items created based on the user's hair length and appearance, etc. are effective. .
[0041]
The classification according to the gender of the user is a classification based on different hair styles between women and men, and “female edition male edition” in the selection screen at the top of FIG. 3 corresponds to this. The hair information provider's recommended classification is based on information from hair information providers such as barbers, hair salons, stylists, and magazines that are affiliated with the operator of this system. In the selection screen at the top of FIG. 3, “Special Feature Autumn Mode is Kore-Kimamari!” Corresponds to this. The classification based on the usage frequency of the user is configured based on the usage frequency for each hair type each time a transformation image is registered in the transformation result registration means 106, and is configured based on the usage frequency. "This month's popular hair ranking!" In the selection screen corresponds to this. Classifications based on classification items created based on the user's hair length, appearance, etc. are linked from “Select by length and image” and “Select by preference” in the selection screen at the top of FIG. It corresponds to this.
[0042]
