  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a storefront printing apparatus 70 according to the present invention. In this storefront printing apparatus 70, a customer inserts a recording medium 50 (not shown) such as smart media into the insertion slot 11 and inserts money, and the digital image stored in the recording medium 50 is printed on a printing medium such as TA paper. It is a machine to do. The storefront printing device 70 is a storefront information terminal installed at a storefront of various stores such as a photo store, a bookstore, and a supermarket, and is normally used by a customer who purchases a print alone without the assistance of a store clerk.

  This storefront printing device 70 is provided with a liquid crystal type display device 80 in which a touch panel 98 is laminated on the front, and a customer operates the touch panel 98 while looking at the display device 80 to determine the print size, the number of prints, and the like. Enter the required information. One or more printers 90 (not shown) are installed inside the storefront printing apparatus 70, and each printer 90 prints a digital image. The storefront printing apparatus 70 of this embodiment is provided with a maximum of four printers 90. An outlet 13 through which a printed printing medium is discharged is provided on the front outside of the storefront printing apparatus 70, and a slot 14 for inserting a settlement means such as a coin, a bill, or a prepaid card into a coin machine 64 described later. The coin machine 64 is provided with a return port 12 through which change is returned.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of the storefront printing apparatus 70.

  When the customer inserts the recording medium 50 into the insertion slot 11, the hard disk controller 74 loads the control software recorded on the hard disk (HDD) 75 into the program memory 71. The image data is recorded in the recording medium 50 in a compressed state. When the CPU 72 instructs the media reader controller 51 to read the image data, the required image data is acquired from the recording medium 50. The image processing unit 61 decompresses this image data and restores it to the original image data. Further, the image processing unit 61 performs necessary image processing and stores the image data in the work memory 76.

  The customer inputs various information regarding the print order such as selection of an image to be printed, the number of prints, and a print type from the touch panel 98. As the print type, <digital camera print / split print / sticker print / index print> can be designated. For divided printing, <16 division / 4 division / 2 division / no division> can be specified as the number of screen divisions. For the print size, <card size / L size / CD size / 2L size> can be selected. Hereinafter, the information regarding the print order input from the touch panel 98 is referred to as order information.

  Order information such as the print size and the number of prints is converted into an electrical signal corresponding to the position when the customer presses a desired position on the touch panel 98 and input to the CPU 72 via the touch panel interface (I / F) unit 97. The

  The input information is displayed on the display device 80. The display device 80 is operated by the display control unit 78. The coin machine 64 detects the type and number of coins inserted, calculates the amount to be inserted, converts it into an electrical signal, and inputs it to the CPU 72 via the coin machine I / F unit 63. The CPU 72 confirms whether or not the customer has entered a necessary amount. When the necessary amount is input, the print data processing unit 91 creates print job data from the image data stored in the work memory 76, and the print job data is sent to each printer 90 via the printer I / F unit 62. send. A series of these controls is performed by the CPU 72.

  Each printer 90 employs a printing system called a TA system, and uses TA paper having a characteristic that color is developed when heat is applied and fixing is performed when light of a predetermined wavelength is irradiated.

  When printing is completed, a receipt describing the amount inserted into the coin machine 64 and the amount of change returned is output from the receipt printer 92. The contents printed by the receipt printer 92 are instructed by the CPU 72 via the receipt printer I / F unit 93.

[First embodiment]
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a program executed by the CPU 72. The CPU 72 executes an order receiving unit 72a, an order amount calculation unit 72b, a recommended product presentation unit 72c, and a settlement unit 72d, which are programs. These programs are stored in the HDD 75, and the CPU 72 appropriately reads the program memory 71 and executes them. Details of the contents of processing executed by these programs will be described later.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of transition of the image selection screen 81 displayed on the display device 80. A customer who operates the storefront printing device 70 inputs order information such as the print type, print size, and the number of prints from the touch panel 98 through the graphical user interface (GUI) of the image selection screen, and print charges and recommended products. The message information that presents is displayed.

  In the image selection screen 81 of FIG. 4A, a list of each image 82 read from the recording medium 50, a determination button (btn1), a return button (btn2) for returning to the previous screen, and the image selection processing are ended. An end button (btn3) for displaying is displayed. In the right column of the image selection screen 81, the number of selected images and the current print fee are displayed. The customer selects an image by pressing an image area desired to be printed on the touch panel 98. In FIG. 4A, an image with a diagonal line is selected, and “5 prints” is displayed in the right column of the image selection screen. Further, since the print amount is 30 yen, 30 yen × 5 sheets = 150 yen is displayed as the current order amount.

  The image selection screen 81 in FIG. 4B shows a state in which one additional print is ordered, the number of selected images is six, and the order amount is 180 yen. The storefront printing device 70 calculates a difference amount of 20 yen between the specific amount of 200 yen and the order amount of 180 yen, and indicates that a discount fee will be applied to the image print when the next image is selected as the recommended product. Displayed in the display area 83.

  The image selection screen 81 in FIG. 4C shows a state where one additional print has been ordered, the number of selected images is seven, and the order amount is 200 yen. The print price of 30 yen is applied up to the 6th sheet and the order amount is 180 yen, but the discount price of 20 yen is applied as the recommended product for the 7th sheet. Therefore, the order amount is 200 yen. Here, when the customer presses the enter button and inputs a fee, printing is started.

  Next, the processing flow of the storefront printing apparatus 70 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of print processing of the storefront printing apparatus 70. FIG. 6 is a table that is referred to when the recommended product presentation unit 72c determines the recommended product, and is a table that associates the specific amount (Xn), the threshold amount (Zn), and the recommended product (hereinafter, “Xn-Zn”). Correspondence table "). The specific amount is an amount desired by the operator, and in this embodiment, for example, an amount not including a fraction of 10 yen such as 100 yen or 200 yen is set. The Xn-Zn correspondence table is stored in the HDD 75 in advance, and the recommended product presentation unit 72c reads and refers to it as necessary.

  First, the customer operates the touch panel 98 by pressing a display part of a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed on the display device 80, selects the size of an image to be printed (S501), and the type of the recording medium 50. Is selected (S502). After selecting these items, the recording medium 50 is inserted into the insertion slot 11 (S503). The display device 80 displays an image selection screen 81 in which images read from the recording medium 50 are displayed as thumbnails (S504). The image selection screen 81 includes a determination button (btn1) for determining an image to be ordered for printing, a button (btn2) for returning to the previous screen, and an end button (btn3) for forcibly ending the image selection process. ) Is displayed.

  The customer operates the touch panel 98 to select an image to be printed (S505). The order receiving unit 72 a receives the input order information and stores it in the work memory 76. The order amount calculation unit 72b calculates the order amount (T) according to the print unit price per sheet corresponding to the number of printed images, the print type, and the print size (S506). For example, if the L size is 30 yen and the order quantity is 6, the order amount (T) is 30 yen × 6 sheets = 180 yen.

  The recommended product presentation unit 72c calculates a difference (Y) between the specific amount (Xn) and the order amount (T) (S507). The recommended product presentation unit 72c refers to the “Xn-Zn correspondence table” and determines whether or not the threshold amount (Zn) for recommended product presentation is less than the difference (Y). If “Yes”, the process proceeds to S505. If “No”, the process proceeds to S509 (S508). In the above example, the recommended product presentation unit 72c first calculates the difference (Y: −80 yen) between X1 (100 yen) and the order amount (T: 180 yen). Since Z1 (10 yen) is larger than the difference (-80 yen), the process proceeds to S509.

  Next, the recommended product presentation unit 72c determines whether or not the difference (Y) is less than 0. If “Yes”, the process proceeds to S510, and if “No”, the process proceeds to S511 (S509). When the difference (Y) is less than 0, that is, the order amount (T) is larger than the specific amount (Zn), the recommended product presentation unit 72c increments n (S510) and returns to S505. When the difference (Y) is 0 or more, that is, when the specific amount (Zn) is larger than the order amount (T), the process proceeds to S511. In the above example, since the difference (Y: −80 yen) is less than 0, the process proceeds to S510. The recommended product presentation unit 72c then sets n to 1 increment (n = 2) and again compares the specific amount X2 (200 yen) with the order amount (T: 180 yen). When n = 2, Z2 (20 yen) is equal to the difference (Y: 20 yen), and the process proceeds to S511.

  The recommended product presentation unit 72c refers to the “Xn-Zn correspondence table” and displays a recommended product corresponding to Zn, for example, a message indicating a discount fee or discounted product as Y yen in the message display area 83 (S511). In the “Xn-Zn correspondence table” of FIG. 6, it is defined as “Provide one L version for 20 yen or less” as a recommended product corresponding to Z2. Therefore, the recommended product presentation unit 72c displays a message on the display device 80 that one L plate is provided for the same amount as the difference (Y: 20 yen).

  If the customer selects a discount price or discount product button, the process proceeds to S510, and if not, the process proceeds to S513 (S512). If the determination button (btn1) indicating that the customer has determined the contents of the print order is pressed, the process proceeds to S514. If the determination button is not pressed, the process returns to S505. When the determination button (btn1) is pressed, the order amount calculation unit 72b calculates the final order amount and displays it as the settlement amount (S514). The final order amount is the order amount (T) calculated in S506 when the recommended product is not selected in S512, and the order amount (T) calculated in S506 when the recommended product is selected in S512. Is the sum of the discount price or the price of the discount product. In the above example, if the recommended product is not selected, the payment amount is 180 yen for 6 prints, and if the recommended product is selected, 200 yen for 7 prints.

  The settlement unit 72d waits for input of an amount corresponding to the settlement amount. The customer inputs an amount that satisfies the payment amount (S515), and when the necessary amount is input, starts printing (S516). When the printing is completed, the printed matter in which the selected image is printed by the designated type is ejected from the outlet 13 (S517), and the receipt and the change when there is a change are also returned.

  In the above example, Z2 (20 yen) is equal to the difference (Y: 20 yen) and the recommended product is offered at a difference of 20 yen. However, if the order amount is 190 yen (example: 2L version unit price is 50 yen) The difference (Y) is 10 yen when 2 sheets of 2L plates and 3 sheets of L plates are ordered). In this case, since the difference (Y: 10 yen) is smaller than Z2 (20 yen), the recommended product (one L plate) corresponding to Z2 is provided at the same amount as the difference (Y: 10 yen). As a result, the customer can purchase the L version at a discounted price of 10 yen and the change of 10 yen becomes unnecessary. In FIG. 6, only the L version is defined as the recommended product, but the recommended product is not limited to the L version, and may be a 2L version, a seal print, or the like.

  According to the storefront printing apparatus 70 according to the present embodiment, a recommended product including a discount price or a discount product according to the difference between the print order amount and the specific amount is presented. Thereby, the customer can obtain an inexpensive printed product. As a secondary effect, the customer can be expected to be free from the trouble of receiving change. Furthermore, for the business operator, an increase in the unit price of the customer and a reduction in the amount of change reserve can be expected.

[Second Embodiment]
The storefront printing apparatus 70 according to the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a recommended product is presented after a customer selects an image and presses an end determination button (btn1). Hereinafter, the flow of processing will be described along the steps of FIG.

  From S701 to S707, the same processing as in the first embodiment is performed.

  In S708, the recommended product presentation unit 72c determines whether or not the difference (Y) is less than zero. If less than 0, the process proceeds to S709, and if the difference (Y) is 0 or more, the process proceeds to S710. In S709, the recommended product presentation unit 72c increments n and returns to S705.

  In S710, if the customer selects the determination button (btn1), the process returns to S711, otherwise returns to S705. In S711, the recommended product presentation unit 72c determines whether the threshold amount (Zn) for presenting the recommended product is less than the difference (Y). If “Yes”, the process proceeds to S715, and if “No”, the process proceeds to S712. In S <b> 712, the recommended product presentation unit 72 c presents a message in the message display area 83 that a recommended product corresponding to Zn, for example, a discount fee or a discount product is provided in Y yen. In S713, it is determined whether or not the customer selects a discount price or a discount product button. If the customer selects a discount price or discount product button, the process proceeds to S714, and if not, the process proceeds to S715. In S714, the order amount calculation unit 72b recalculates the discounted price or the total amount after selecting the discounted product (the amount obtained by adding the amount of the recommended product selected to the order amount (T)) (S714) and displays it (S715). ). If the customer does not select the discount price or discount product button in S713, the order amount (T) calculated in S706 is displayed as the settlement amount (S715). Thereafter, as in the first embodiment, after the fee is charged, the printing process is started and completed, and the process ends (S716 to S718).

  According to the storefront printing apparatus 70 according to the present embodiment, it can be expected that the customer will motivate the customer to purchase further products by presenting the recommended product after deciding the print order. As a secondary effect, the customer can be expected to be free from the trouble of receiving change. Furthermore, for the business operator, an increase in the unit price of the customer and a reduction in the amount of change reserve can be expected.

[Third embodiment]
The third embodiment is a storefront printing apparatus 70 that newly presents a print with a large discount amount or a discounted product to a customer who has selected a recommended product in S713 of the second embodiment. Newly recommended products are presented according to the “Xn-Xn + 1 correspondence table” shown in FIG. This “Xn-Xn + 1 correspondence table” is stored in the HDD 75, and is read and referred to by the recommended product presentation unit 72c as needed. Hereinafter, it demonstrates along each step of FIG.

  S801 to S813 perform the same processing as S701 to S713 of the storefront printing apparatus 70 according to the second embodiment.

  If a discount price or discount product button is selected in S813, the process proceeds to S814, and if not selected, the process proceeds to S816.

  In S814, the recommended product presentation unit 72c increments n and refers to the “Xn-Xn + 1 correspondence table” shown in FIG. 9 in S815. Then, a new recommended product is presented according to the “Xn−Xn + 1 correspondence table”. For example, in S813, when the customer selects n = 2 and X2 = 200 yen (6 prints are 30 yen and a discount price of 20 yen is applied to the seventh sheet), the recommended product presentation unit 72c sets n. Increment to n = 3 (S814). Then, five L plates (unit price 20 yen) are selected as recommended products corresponding to X3 in the “Xn-Xn + 1 correspondence table”. Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, the display device 80 displays a message “* If 5 images are added, the price is 300 yen (provided special price: 20 yen per image)”. It is displayed in the message display area 83. Then, the process returns to S813, and it is determined whether or not the customer selects a discount price or a discount product button. If the recommended product is not selected in S813, the process proceeds to S816. Hereinafter, the processing from S816 to S819 is the same as S715 to S718 in the second embodiment.

  According to the present embodiment, in addition to the recommended products of the first and second embodiments, further recommended products can be presented, and the unit price of the customer is increased, and the customer is inconvenienced to receive change. You can expect to be free from that. In addition, it can be expected that the business operator can reduce the amount of change reserve.

[Fourth embodiment]
The fourth embodiment is an over-the-counter printing apparatus 70 that allows a customer to input a budget amount in advance and provides recommended products according to the amount of divergence between the budget amount and the order amount.

  FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing a program executed by the CPU 72. The CPU 72 executes an order receiving unit 72a, an order amount calculation unit 72b, a recommended product presentation unit 72c, a settlement unit 72d, and a budget amount reception unit 72e, which are programs. These programs are stored in the HDD 75, and the CPU 72 appropriately reads the program memory 71 and executes them.

  Next, a processing flow of the storefront printing apparatus 70 according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a processing flow of the storefront printing apparatus 70. FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram showing a screen display example displayed on the storefront printing apparatus 70 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 14 shows the difference between the budget amount and the order amount, and recommended products corresponding to the difference amount. This is a “Recommended Product Correspondence Table” that defines the correspondence relationship. In the “Recommended Product Correspondence Table” in FIG. 14, one type or a plurality of types of recommended products are defined according to the difference between the budget amount and the order amount. Hereinafter, description will be made along the order of steps in FIG.

  S1201 to S1204 perform the same processing as S501 to S504.

  In S1205, a budget input screen is displayed on the display device 80. The customer operates the touch panel 98 to input the budget amount, and the budget amount receiving unit 72e receives information on the input budget amount (Xn) and stores it in the work memory 76 (S1206). The input budget amount is displayed in a budget amount display field 84 provided on the right side of the image selection screen 81. In the example of FIG. 13, 800 yen is input as the budget amount.

  Next, the customer selects an image (S1207), and the order amount calculator 72b calculates the order amount (T) (S1208). In FIG. 13, 16 L-size prints are selected, and the order amount (T) is 480 yen (16 sheets × 30 yen). The recommended product presentation unit 72c calculates the divergence amount (Y) between the order amount (T) of the selected image and the budget amount (Xn) (S1209), and determines whether the divergence amount (Y) is 0 or less. (S1210). If the divergence amount (Y) is 0 or less, the process returns to S1206, and if the divergence amount (Y) is greater than 0, the process proceeds to S1211. The recommended product presentation unit 72c refers to the recommended product correspondence table of FIG. 14 and displays the recommended product corresponding to the amount of deviation (Y) on the display device 80 (S1211). In the above example, the amount obtained by subtracting the order amount 480 yen from the budget amount 800 yen becomes the deviation amount (Y) 320 yen. The recommended product presentation unit 72c refers to the “Recommended Product Correspondence Table” in FIG. 14 and selects the recommended product corresponding to the divergence amount (Y) 320 yen. Then, a message for presenting the recommended product equivalent to 320 yen in the message display field 83 of the display device 80 is displayed in the same amount as the divergence amount (Y) 320 yen, and the recommended product is displayed in the recommended product display field 85. The images presented in the recommended product display field 85 are extracted by the storefront printing device 70 from the images read from the recording medium 50 in consideration of the type of subject, blurring, and blurring of the subject.

  If the customer selects a recommended product in S1212, the process returns to S1206, and the processes from S1206 to S1212 are performed again. If the customer has not selected a recommended product, the process proceeds to S1213. If the enter button (btn1) is pressed here, the process proceeds to S1214. If not, the process returns to S1206. When the recommended product is selected, the order amount calculation unit 72b calculates an amount obtained by adding the price of the recommended product to the order amount (T) as a settlement amount. When the recommended product is not selected, the order amount calculation unit 72b The amount (T) is calculated and displayed as the settlement amount (S1214). The settlement unit 72d waits for input of an amount corresponding to the settlement amount. The customer inputs an amount that satisfies the settlement amount (S1215). When the necessary amount is input, the customer starts providing prints and recommended products (S1216). When printing on a T-shirt or mug is selected as a recommended product, a product voucher is issued. When the storefront printing device 70 is connected to the print center via a communication network such as the Internet or a dedicated line, a receipt for certifying that the order has been sent by sending print order information to a T-shirt or mug A certificate may be issued. When the merchandise printing is completed, the printed matter and the merchandise voucher printed with the designated type of the selected image printed are ejected from the outlet 13 (S1217), and the receipt and the change when there is a change are also returned. .

  According to the present embodiment, it is possible to present a product according to the customer's budget. Also, by providing recommended products that take blurring and blurring into account, customers can obtain clearer printed images at lower prices. Further, as a side effect, the customer can be expected to be freed from the trouble of receiving change. Businesses can expect an increase in customer unit prices and a reduction in change reserves.
