Upon receiving information indicating insertion of coins for one play (in the case of Yes in step S112), the CPU 103 starts play and performs the processing of step S113 and subsequent steps.

  The CPU 103 displays the shooting course selection screen 1130 shown in FIG. 8 on the reception display 31, and receives the selection of the shooting course (step S113). The shooting course selection screen 1130 includes image images 1131A to 1131C corresponding to each shooting course. By touching any of the image images 1131A to 1131C, the user can select a shooting course corresponding to the touched image images 1131A to 1131C.

  Image image 1131A corresponds to the “event course”. The “event course” is, for example, a shooting course for performing shooting in accordance with a season event such as Halloween, Christmas, or Valentine, or a special event such as a party.

  Image image 1131B corresponds to “face course”. The “face course” is a photographing course in which each user can individually select a face correction according to his / her own preference.

  Image image 1131C corresponds to the “collage course”. The “collage course” is a photography course that has high designability and can generate a collage image that can be used in SNS or the like. In the “collage course”, a collage image generated using a plurality of photographic images and a normal photographic image are generated.

  The CPU 103 can change the size and / or position of the image images 1131A to 1131C according to the season or the like. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, during the season event, the image image 1131A may be arranged at the left end of the screen, and the size of the image image 1131A may be larger than the sizes of the other image images 1131B and 1131C. . By doing so, the image image 1131A is more prominent than the image images 1131B and 1131C, so that the user can easily select the “event course”. On the other hand, during periods other than the season event, the image image 1131A can be arranged at the right end of the screen, and the image images 1131A to 1131C can have the same size.

  After the shooting course is selected (step S113), the CPU 103 accepts input of various setting information according to the selected shooting course.

When the selected photographing course is the “event course” (in the case of “event” in step S114), the CPU 103 displays a photographing person selection screen (not shown) on the reception display 31 to determine whether the photographing is performed by two persons Alternatively, a selection is made as to whether to shoot with a large number of people (three or more) (step S115A).

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 displays a whole-body imaging frequency selection screen (not shown) on the reception display 31, and accepts selection of the number of full-body imaging for imaging the whole body of the user (step S116A).

  The CPU 103, for example, can present the options of “whole-body imaging 0 times”, “whole-body imaging 2 times”, and “whole-body imaging 3 times” on the whole-body imaging number selection screen (not shown) and allow the user to select it. . The number of up-shots for imaging the upper body of the user is determined according to the selected number of whole-body shots. In other words, when the user selects “zero whole-body imaging”, all of the six imagings are up-shots. When the user selects “two whole-body imaging”, two of the six imagings are the whole-body imaging, and the remaining four are the up-imaging. When the user selects “3 times full-body imaging”, 3 times of the total of 6 times of imaging are full-length imaging, and the remaining 3 times are up-time imaging. By presenting the user with the appropriate number of times of the whole-body imaging and selecting the same, it is possible to generate each photographic image based on the close-up imaging and the whole-body imaging with a balance of the number of images easily arranged on the sheet layout image.

  After that, the CPU 103 displays a sheet layout image selection screen (not shown) on the reception display 31, and receives the selection of the sheet layout image (step S117A). Although the details will be described later, when the “event course” is selected in step S113, the chroma key combining process of the photographic image and the background image obtained by the photographing process (step S20) described below is not performed. The selection of the background image in step S10) is not performed.

The shape of the collage layout images 1165A to 1165F is not particularly limited, but is preferably a square so that the completed collage image can be easily used in SNS or the like.

  Each of the collage layout images 1165A to 1165F includes a background image on which a plurality of photographic images obtained by close-up photography are arranged, and a foreground image superimposed on the plurality of photographic images. The foreground image includes a frame image that defines a range for exposing each photo image arranged on the background image, and other decorative images. Each of the collage layout images 1165A to 1165F may include, as the foreground image, a plurality of frame images having different colors and used selectively.

  Each of the background image sets 1166A to 1166F includes a plurality of background images for a normal photographic image. The plurality of background images included in each of the background image sets 1166A to 1166F are associated with the number of times of shooting.

  If any of the collage layout images 1165A to 1165F is selected by selecting one of the image sets 1164A to 1164F, four up shootings and two whole body shootings are performed in a shooting process (step S20) described later. Done. In this case, in addition to a collage image using the photographic image obtained by the close-up photographing, four normal close-up photographic images showing the upper body of the user and two normal full-body photographic images showing the whole body of the user are generated. Is done. For this reason, the background image sets 1166A to 1166F associated with the collage layout images 1165A to 1165F each include four normal close-up photo image background images and two normal whole body photo image background images. .

  As shown in FIG. 10, when the selection tab 1162 displaying “up 3 + whole body 3” is selected, image sets 1164G to 1164L are displayed in the selection target image display area 1161. The image sets 1164G to 1164L include collage layout images 1165G to 1165L and background image sets 1166G to 1166L associated with the collage layout images 1165G to 1165L, respectively.

  The collage layout images 1165G to 1165L are collage image layout images (full body collage layout images) generated using photographic images obtained by full-body imaging. The shapes of the collage layout images 1165G to 1165L are also preferably square for the same reason as the collage layout images 1165A to 1165F.

  Each of the collage layout images 1165G to 1165L includes a background image on which a plurality of photographic images obtained by full-body imaging are arranged, and a foreground image superimposed on the plurality of photographic images. The foreground image includes a frame image that defines a range for exposing each photo image arranged on the background image, and other decorative images. Each of the collage layout images 1165G to 1165L may include, as the foreground image, a plurality of frame images having different colors and used selectively.

  Each of the background image sets 1166G to 1166L includes a plurality of background images for a normal photographic image. The plurality of background images included in each of the background image sets 1166G to 1166L are associated with the number of times of shooting.

  When any of the collage layout images 1165G to 1165L is selected by selecting any of the image sets 1164G to 1164L, the up-photographing and the whole-body photographing are performed three times in the photographing process (step S20) described later. . In this case, in addition to a collage image using a photographic image obtained by full-body imaging, three normal close-up photographic images and three normal full-body photographic images are generated. For this reason, the background image sets 1166G to 1166L associated with the collage layout images 1165G to 1165L include three background images for a normal close-up photo image and three background images for a normal whole body photo image.

  When the user touches and selects a desired image set 1164A to 1164L on the collage layout image selection screen 1160, the selected image set (image sets 1164A and 1164H in the examples of FIGS. 9 and 10) is already displayed. It is displayed in area 1163. When the user touches an OK button 1167, selection of an image set, that is, a collage layout image and a background image set is determined.

  After receiving the input of various setting information, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the shooting booth 2 is empty (step S118). If the shooting booth 2 is not empty (No in step S118), the CPU 103 causes the reception display 31 to display a standby screen (not shown) for urging the user to wait (step S119). When the imaging booth 2 is vacant (Yes in step S118), the CPU 103 causes the reception display 31 to display a guidance screen (not shown) for guiding movement to the imaging booth 2 (step S120).

  Then, the CPU 103 performs shooting course data indicating a shooting course, shooting number data indicating the number of shots, name data indicating the name of the user, shooting number data indicating the number of times of whole-body shooting and number of times of up-shot, and background image data indicating a background image. Then, data indicating the contents input by the user, such as sheet layout image data indicating a sheet layout image and collage layout image data indicating a collage layout image, are stored in the memory 105 (step S121).

<2.2. Shooting process>
Next, the photographing process (step S20) will be described. FIG. 11 is an operation flowchart of the photographing process.

  The CPU 103 displays a shooting start screen (not shown) for guiding the start of shooting on the front display 22 in the shooting booth 2 (step S211). A shooting start button is displayed on the shooting start screen. When the user touches the shooting start button, a process corresponding to the shooting course selected in step S113 is started. The CPU 103 controls the camera 21 and starts capturing an image of a user in the imaging booth 2.

(When "Event course" is selected)
When the shooting course selected in step S113 is the “event course” (in step S212, “event”), the CPU 103 starts a shooting process corresponding to the “event course” (step S213A).

  The CPU 103 performs close-up photography and whole-body photography according to the number of times of photography selected in step S116A. For example, the CPU 103 performs one of six up shootings, four up shootings and two whole body shootings, or three up shootings and three whole body shootings. The CPU 103 performs zoom setting of the camera 21 so as to have an angle of view corresponding to the type of shooting (up shooting or whole body shooting) and the number of shots selected in step S115A, and shoots the user with the camera 21. Thereby, the number of up images and whole body images corresponding to the number of times of imaging selected in step S116A are generated.

  At the time of shooting of the “event course”, the curtain 24 for chroma key synthesis processing is raised by the elevating device 25 and stored in the elevating device 25. That is, at the time of photographing the “event course”, the curtain 24 as the background portion for the chroma key synthesizing process is not arranged behind the user in the photographing booth 2. That is, in the “event course”, the user is photographed with the surface 26 (FIG. 3A) of the rear housing 20B as a background.

  The timing for storing the curtain 24 in the lifting device 25 is not particularly limited. For example, if “event course” is selected in step S113 of the pre-customer service and it is determined in step S118 that the shooting booth 2 is empty, the CPU 103 determines whether the curtain 24 is stored in the lifting device 25. Determine whether or not. If the curtain 24 is not stored in the elevating device 25, the CPU 103 controls the elevating device 25 to pull up the curtain 24 and store it in the elevating device 25. It should be noted that in the shooting of the “face course” and the “collage course”, the curtain 24 is pulled out from the elevating device 25 and arranged behind the user in the shooting booth 2.

  Next, the CPU 103 trims and adjusts the image size of each captured up image and each of the whole body images to generate a plurality of normal photographic images (step S214A). The up image is trimmed, for example, to have an aspect ratio of 1.2: 1, and adjusted to a predetermined image size. The whole body image is trimmed, for example, to have an aspect ratio of 5: 3, and adjusted to a predetermined image size. The CPU 103 stores the normal close-up photographic image generated based on the close-up image and the normal full-body photographic image generated based on the whole-body image in the memory 105 in association with the number of times of shooting.

(When "Face Course" is selected)
When the shooting course selected in step S113 is “face course” (in step S212, “face”), the CPU 103 displays the test shooting guide screen 2000 shown in FIG. Guidance is provided (step S213B). On the test shooting guide screen 2000, two frames 2001A and 2001B and a guidance 2003 of "Please enter this frame and face forward" are displayed. Model photograph images 2004A and 2004B are displayed in the inner regions 2002A and 2002B of the two frames 2001A and 2001B.

  After a lapse of a predetermined time, the CPU 103 displays a test shooting screen 2010 shown in FIG. Two frames 2011A and 2011B are displayed on the test shooting screen 2010, similarly to the test shooting guide screen 2000. Of the live video obtained by shooting the inside of the shooting booth 2 with the camera 21, video portions corresponding to the regions 2012A and 2012B inside the frames 2011A and 2011B on the test shooting screen 2010 are displayed in the regions 2012A and 2012B. When each user adjusts the photographing position so that the face falls within the frames 2011A and 2011B, live images of each user are displayed in the areas 2012A and 2012B. The CPU 103 performs a countdown, and photographs the user with the camera 21 (step S214B).

  After that, the CPU 103 performs a predetermined image processing on the photographic image obtained by the test shooting to generate a sample image. The sample image is used for allowing the user to select a correction for the face in a graffiti process (step S30) described later.

  In parallel with the generation of the sample image, the CPU 103 performs up-shooting and whole-body shooting according to the number of times of imaging selected in step S116B (step S215B). For example, the CPU 103 performs six up shootings, or four up shootings and two whole body shootings. The CPU 103 sets the zoom of the camera 21 so as to have an angle of view corresponding to the close-up shooting or the whole body shooting, and shoots the user with the camera 21. As a result, a number of up images and whole body images corresponding to the number of times of imaging selected in step S116B are generated.

  The CPU 103 performs the same trimming and image size adjustment as in step S214A of the “event course” on each of the captured close-up images and each of the whole body images to generate a plurality of normal close-up photograph images and normal whole body photograph images ( Step S216B). The CPU 103 stores the generated normal up photo image and the normal whole body photo image in the memory 105 in association with the number of times of shooting.

(When "collage course" is selected)
When the photographing course selected in step S113 is the “collage course” (in the case of “collage” in step S212), the CPU 103 starts the photographic image generation processing in step S213C.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the photographic image generation process (step S213C) in the “collage course”. In the photo image generation process in step S213C, the CPU 103 performs collage shooting for generating a collage image photo image and normal shooting for generating a normal photo image. The CPU 103 determines the number of collage shootings and the number of normal shootings according to the collage layout image selected in step S116C.

(When selecting a layout image for up collage)
As described above, the collage layout images 1165A to 1165F (FIG. 9) are up collage layout images on which photographic images obtained by up-shooting are arranged. Therefore, if any of the collage layout images 1165A to 1165F is selected in step S116C, the CPU 103 determines that the up shooting is collage shooting and determines how many times out of the four up shootings the collage shooting is performed. To determine. The remaining close-up shooting, which is not collage shooting, and the two whole-body shootings are normal shootings.

  For example, if the collage layout image 1165A (FIG. 9) is selected in step S116C, the CPU 103 determines three out of four up-shots to be collage shooting, one remaining up-shot and two whole-body shots. Shooting is determined to be normal shooting. The details will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, the collage layout image 1165A has photo image arrangement areas 1165Aa to 1165Ad. Each of the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Aa to 1165Ad is an area where a collage image photograph image is arranged. Each photo image arrangement area 1165Aa to 1165Ad is defined by a frame image 1165Ae.

  Although described in detail later, images obtained by the first photographing are arranged in the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Aa and 1165Ab. An image obtained by the second shooting is arranged in the photograph image arrangement area 1165Ac. An image obtained by the third shooting is arranged in the photograph image arrangement area 1165Ad. In other words, three shots are required to generate a collage image using the collage layout image 1165A. Therefore, when the collage layout image 1165A is selected in step S116C, the CPU 103 determines three out of the four up-shots to be collage shooting, and performs the remaining one up-shot and two full-body shots as normal shots To decide.

  Further, for example, when the collage layout image 1165D (FIG. 9) is selected in step S116C, the CPU 103 determines all four up-shots to be collage shooting, and determines two whole-body shots to be normal shooting. The details will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 15B, the collage layout image 1165D has photograph image arrangement areas 1165Da to 1165Dh. Each of the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Da to 1165Dh is an area where a collage image photograph image is arranged. Each of the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Da to 1165Dh is defined by a frame image 1165Di.

  In the photographic image arrangement areas 1165Da and 1165Db, images obtained by the first photographing are arranged. In the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Dc and 1165Dd, images obtained by the second photographing are arranged. In the photographic image arrangement areas 1165De and 1165Df, images obtained by the third photographing are arranged. In the photographic image arrangement areas 1165Dg and 1165Dh, images obtained by the fourth photographing are arranged. That is, four shots are required to generate a collage image using the collage layout image 1165D. Therefore, if the collage layout image 1165D is selected in step S116C, the CPU 103 determines all four up-shots to be collage shots, and determines two full-body shots to be normal shots.

(When selecting a layout image for full body collage)
As described above, the collage layout images 1165G to 1165L (FIG. 10) are whole-body collage layout images on which photographic images obtained by whole-body imaging are arranged. Therefore, if any one of the collage layout images 1165G to 1165L is selected in step S116C, the CPU 103 determines that the whole-body imaging is collage imaging, and determines how many of the three whole-body imagings are collage imaging. To determine. The three up shootings and the remaining whole body shooting other than the collage shooting are normal shootings.

  For example, when the collage layout image 1165H (FIG. 10) is selected in step S116C, the CPU 103 determines all three whole-body imaging to be collage imaging, and determines three full-body imaging to normal imaging. The details will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the collage layout image 1165H has photo image arrangement areas 1165Ha to 1165Hc. Similarly to the photo image arrangement areas 1165Aa to 1165Ad of the collage layout image 1165A, the collage image photographic images are arranged in the respective photographic image arrangement areas 1165Ha to 1165Hc. Each of the photo image arrangement areas 1165Ha to 1165Hc is defined by a frame image 1165He.

  As will be described in detail later, an image obtained by the first shooting is arranged in the photograph image arrangement area 1165Ha. In the photo image arrangement areas 1165Hb and 1165Hc, images obtained by the second and third photographing are arranged, respectively. In other words, three shots are required to generate a collage image using the collage layout image 1165H. Therefore, if the collage layout image 1165H is selected in step S116C, the CPU 103 determines all three whole-body shootings as collage shootings and determines three up-shots as normal shootings.

  Hereinafter, the collage photographing process (steps S2132 and S2135) and the normal photographing process (steps S2133 and S2133) will be described taking as an example a case where the collage layout image 1165A is selected in step S113C and a case where the collage layout image 1165H is selected. S2134) will be described in detail.

(When the collage layout image 1165A is selected)
First, the case where the collage layout image 1165A is selected in step S116C (the case of “up collage” in step S2131) will be described. The CPU 103 performs four up shootings and two whole body shootings. As described above, when the collage layout image 1165A is selected in step S116C, three out of four up-shots are collage shots, and the remaining one up-shot and two whole-body shots are normal shots. .

  The CPU 103 first performs three collage shootings (step S2132).

  The CPU 103 displays a collage shooting guidance screen (not shown) on the front display 22 before starting the first collage shooting. The CPU 103 sets the zoom of the camera 21 so that the angle of view corresponds to the close-up shooting.

  After a lapse of the predetermined time, the CPU 103 displays a shooting screen 2130A shown in FIG. The shooting screen 2130A includes a first display area 2131 located at the center of the screen, a second display area 2132 located on the left side of the first display area 2131, and a thumbnail image display area 2133 located below the first display area 2131. including.

  The CPU 103 displays a sample image 2134A prepared in advance in the first display area 2131. The sample image 2134A is an image in which model photograph images are arranged in the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Aa to 1165Ad of the collage layout image 1165A.

  In the sample image 2134A, a target icon image 2135 displaying a message “I'll take a picture here” is arranged on the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Aa and 1165Ab in which photograph images obtained by collage shooting to be performed are arranged. In the sample image 2134A, the photographic image arrangement areas 1165Ac and 1165Ad that are not targets of the first collage shooting may be grayed out.

  After a predetermined time has elapsed after displaying the sample image 2134A and the target icon image 2135, the CPU 103 displays a live image 2136 of the user acquired by the camera 21 in the first display area 2131 as shown in FIG. Step S2132a). More specifically, the CPU 103 inverts the video captured by the camera 21 from side to side, extracts a user area from the video by chroma key processing, and superimposes the user area on a background image prepared in advance for a live image. It is displayed in the area 2131. The background image for the live image may be a background image included in the background image set 1166A (FIG. 9) and corresponding to the number of times of shooting, or may be another background image.

  The live image 2136 is displayed in the first display area 2131 without being divided into a plurality of parts. That is, one live image 2136 is displayed in the first display area 2131. In collage shooting, a live image is not divided into two or more windows and displayed on a screen.

  The CPU 103 displays the guideline 2143A on the live image 2136 as necessary. The guideline 2143A defines a range in the live image 2136 corresponding to the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Aa and 1165Ab of the collage layout image 1165A. In other words, the guideline 2143A indicates the position and range of the cutout performed on the photographic image when the collage image is generated. Each of the two users adjusts the photographing position so that the face falls within the area surrounded by the guideline 2143A.

  The CPU 103 displays the collage preview image 2137A in the second display area 2132. The collage preview image 2137A is an image for presenting the process of creating a collage image to the user and for causing the user to create a collage image with a higher degree of completion.

  The collage preview image 2137A is an image for sequentially arranging and displaying images obtained by shooting in step S2132b to be described later in the photographic image arrangement areas 1165Aa to 1165Ad of the collage layout image 1165A. In the example of FIG. 18, since the photographing in step 2132b has never been performed, the collage preview image 2137A does not include the image obtained by the photographing.

  A target icon image 2138 similar to the target icon image 2135 in FIG. 17 is displayed on the photo image arrangement areas 1165Aa and 1165Ab of the collage preview image 2137A. In the collage preview image 2137A, the photo image arrangement areas 1165Ac and 1165Ad in which the target icon image 2138 is not displayed may be grayed out.

  The CPU 103 starts the countdown, and performs a shutter operation after a predetermined time has elapsed to photograph (step S2132b). At the timing of the shutter operation, the image of the user captured by the camera 21 is recorded as a still image (up image). As shown in FIG. 19, at the moment of the shutter operation, the live image 2136 in the first display area 2131 is not displayed.

  After the image capturing, as shown in FIG. 20, the CPU 103 displays a preview image 2139A in the first display area 2131 (step S2132c). The preview image 2139A is an image in which a user area is extracted from a captured up image by chroma key processing and is displayed on a background image similar to the live image 2136 in FIG.

  The CPU 103 updates and displays the collage preview image 2137A in the second display area 2132. The collage preview image 2137A after the update display reflects the up image captured in step S2132b.

  More specifically, the CPU 103 cuts the photographed up image at a position and range corresponding to the guideline 2143A, reduces the image to a predetermined image size, and generates two preview photograph images 2140A and 2141A. The CPU 103 arranges the preview photo images 2140A and 2141A at positions corresponding to the photo image arrangement areas 1165Aa and 1165Ab on the background image of the collage layout image 1165A, and superimposes the frame image 1165Ae on the preview photo images 2140A and 2141A. It is displayed as 2137A.

  As described above, the first collage shooting when the collage layout image 1165A is selected in step S116C is completed.

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 performs the second collage shooting (step S2132). As shown in FIG. 21, at the start of the second collage shooting, the CPU 103 displays the sample image 2134A again in the first display area 2131. In the sample image 2134A, a target icon image 2135 is displayed on the photograph image arrangement area 1165Ac to be subjected to the second collage shooting.

  In addition, the CPU 103 displays a thumbnail image 2142A corresponding to the first normal close-up photo image in the thumbnail image display area 2133. The first normal close-up photo image extracts a user region from the close-up image obtained in the first collage shooting by chroma key processing, and associates the user region with the first shooting of the background images included in the background image set 1166A. This is an image generated by being superimposed on the background image.

  Thereafter, the second collage shooting and the third collage shooting are performed in the same manner as the first collage shooting (step S2132). By the second collage shooting and the third collage shooting, each up image to be arranged in the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Ac and 1165Ad is generated. After the three collage shootings are completed, the CPU 103 changes the zoom setting of the camera 21 as necessary, and performs three normal shootings (step S2133). In normal imaging, one close-up image and two whole body images are generated.

  In the present embodiment, an up image to be arranged in the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Aa and 1165Ab is photographed in the first collage photographing, and arranged in the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Ac and 1165Ad in the second and third collage photographing, respectively. The example in which the close-up image for shooting is taken has been described. However, the order of photographing the up images arranged in each of the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Aa to 1165Ad is not particularly limited to this. For example, in each of the first and second collage shootings, an up image to be arranged in the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Ac and 1165Ad is photographed, and in the third collage photographing, an up image to be arranged in the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Aa and 1165Ab. , Etc., it is also possible to shoot first from an up image that has a wide range (wider angle of view) when shot on the collage layout image 1165A. Shooting first from the close-up image having a wider angle of view makes shooting easier.

(When the collage layout image 1165H is selected)
Next, the case where the collage layout image 1165H is selected in step S116C (the case of “whole body collage” in step S2131) will be described. The CPU 103 performs three up shootings and three whole body shootings. As described above, when the collage layout image 1165H is selected in step S116C, all three whole body shootings become collage shootings, and three up shootings become normal shootings.

  First, the CPU 103 sets the zoom of the camera 21 so as to have an angle of view corresponding to the close-up shooting, and performs three normal shootings to generate three close-up images (step S2134).

  After the end of the normal shooting, the CPU 103 performs three collage shootings (step S2135). The CPU 103 displays a collage shooting guidance screen (not shown) on the front display 22 before starting the first collage shooting. The CPU 103 changes the zoom setting of the camera 21 so that the angle of view corresponds to the whole-body shooting.

  After the elapse of the predetermined time, the CPU 103 displays a shooting screen 2130H shown in FIG.

  The CPU 103 displays the sample image 2134H in the first display area 2131. The sample image 2134H is an image in which model photograph images are arranged in the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Ha to 1165Hc of the collage layout image 1165H. In the sample image 2134H, a target icon image 2135 is arranged in a photograph image arrangement area 1165Ha in which a photograph image obtained by collage shooting to be performed is arranged. The photo image arrangement areas 1165Hb and 1165Hc that are not targets of the first collage shooting may be grayed out.

  Since three normal shootings have already been completed, a thumbnail image 2142H corresponding to each of the three normal close-up photo images is displayed in the thumbnail image display area 2133.

  After the lapse of the predetermined time, the CPU 103 displays the live image 2136 of the user in the first display area 2131 as shown in FIG. 23 (Step S2135a). The live image 2136 is displayed in the first display area 2131 without being divided into a plurality of portions, as in the example of FIG.

  The CPU 103 displays the guide line 2143H over the live image 2136. The guideline 2143H is displayed at the boundary between the left area and the right area of the live image 2136. Similar to the guideline 2143A, the guideline 2143H indicates the position and range of the cutout performed on the photographic image obtained by the collage shooting. The two users adjust the photographing positions so as to enter the left area and the right area defined by the guideline 2143H, respectively.

  Further, the CPU 103 displays the collage preview image 2137H in the second display area 2132. The collage preview image 2137H is an image that sequentially arranges and displays images obtained by shooting in step S2135b described below in the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Ha to 1165Hc of the collage layout image 1165H. In the example of FIG. 23, since the photographing in step 2135b has never been performed, the collage preview image 2137H does not include an image obtained by photographing.

  A target icon image 2138 is displayed on the photograph image arrangement area 1165Ha of the collage preview image 2137H. In the collage preview image 2137H, the photo image arrangement areas 1165Hb and 1165Hc where the target icon image 2138 is not displayed may be grayed out.

  The CPU 103 starts the countdown, and performs a shutter operation after a predetermined time has elapsed to capture an image (step S2135b). At the timing of the shutter operation, the image of the user captured by the camera 21 is recorded as a still image (whole-body image). As shown in FIG. 24, at the moment of the shutter operation, the live image 2136 in the first display area 2131 is not displayed.

  After shooting, the CPU 103 displays a preview image 2139H in the first display area 2131 as shown in FIG. 25 (step S2135c). The preview image 2139H is obtained by extracting a user region from the captured whole-body image by chroma key processing and superimposing the user region on a background image similar to the live image 2136 in FIG.

  Further, the CPU 103 updates and displays the collage preview image 2137H in the second display area 2132. The collage preview image 2137H after the update display reflects the whole body image captured in step S2135b.

  More specifically, the CPU 103 cuts out the photographed whole body image at a predetermined position and range, reduces the image to a predetermined image size, and generates a preview photograph image 2140H. The CPU 103 arranges the preview photograph image 2140H at a position corresponding to the photograph image arrangement area 1165Ha on the background image of the collage layout image 1165H, and superimposes the frame image 1165He thereon to display it as a collage preview image 2137H.

  As described above, the first collage shooting when the collage layout image 1165H is selected in step S116C is completed.

  In the example of FIG. 25, the preview photo image 2140H includes two users. In the finally generated collage image, the photographed whole body image is divided into a left area and a right area, and a photographic image including only one user is arranged in the photographic image arrangement area 1165Ha. In 2137H, a preview photo image 2140H that is not divided into a left area and a right area is arranged in the photograph image arrangement area 1165Ha.

  The CPU 103 performs the second and third collage shootings in the same manner as the first collage shooting, and generates whole body images to be arranged in the photographic image arrangement areas 1165Hb and 1165Hc (step S2135). Three collage shootings generate three whole body images.

  In this embodiment, the whole body image to be arranged in the photograph image arrangement area 1165Ha is photographed in the first collage photographing, and the whole body image is arranged in the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Hb and 1165Hc in the second and third collage photographing. The example in which the whole body image is taken has been described. However, the order of photographing the whole body images arranged in each of the photograph image arrangement areas 1165Ha to 1165Hc is not particularly limited to this. For example, the first collage shooting takes a whole body image to be arranged in the photo image arrangement area 1165Hc, the second collage shoots a whole body image to be arranged in the photo image arrangement area 1165Hb, and then the third collage shooting. In the collage shooting, for example, a whole body image to be arranged in the photographic image arrangement area 1165Ha is photographed, and the whole body image that is photographed when arranged in the collage layout image 1165H is wide (wide angle of view) is photographed first. You can also. By taking a picture first from the whole body image having a wider angle of view, it becomes easier to take a picture.

  As shown in FIG. 14, after the collage shooting and the normal shooting are completed, the CPU 103 generates a photographic image based on the image obtained by the shooting (step S2136).

  The CPU 103 performs the same trimming and image size adjustment as in step S214A of the “event course” on each of the close-up images or the whole body images generated by the collage shooting, and performs a plurality of close-up images and a plurality of Generate a full body photographic image. Each of the close-up photographic images and the whole body photographic images for the collage image is a photographic image used for generating a collage image, but is also used as a normal close-up photographic image and a normal full-body photographic image in the subsequent processing.

  Further, the CPU 103 cuts out at least one of the up image and the whole body image generated by the collage photographing at a predetermined position and a range according to the collage layout image selected in step S116C, and uses the cut image. A photographic image (user image) for each user is generated. However, if the collage layout image selected in step S116C is a layout image that does not require a user image, the CPU 103 does not generate a user image.

  The user image is combined with a predetermined image having the same aspect ratio as the normal photographic image, if necessary. For example, when a user image is generated by dividing the whole body image into a left area and a right area, the CPU 103 arranges and combines the user images at the center of a predetermined image having an aspect ratio of 5: 3. In the following description, the user image after being combined with the above-described predetermined image is also simply referred to as a user image.

  Further, the CPU 103 performs the same trimming and image size adjustment as in step S214A of the “event course” for each of the close-up images and the whole body images generated in the normal shooting, and a plurality of normal close-up photograph images and normal whole body photographs. Generate an image. Each normal close-up photographic image and each normal full-body photographic image generated based on the normal shooting may be used to generate a collage image in accordance with a user operation in a graffiti process (step S30) described later.

  The CPU 103 stores the photo image for each collage image and each user image in the memory 105 in association with each photo image arrangement area in the collage layout image selected in step S116C. Since the photographic image for each collage image is also used as a normal photographic image, it is associated with the number of times of photographing. Further, the CPU 105 stores each normal close-up photographic image and each normal whole-body photographic image in the memory 105 in association with the number of times of shooting.

  As shown in FIG. 11, after the processing according to the shooting course selected in step S113 is completed, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the editing booth 4 is empty (step S217). If the editing booth 4 is not empty (No in step S217), the CPU 103 displays a standby screen (not shown) for urging the user to wait on the front display 22 (step S218). When the editing booth 4 is vacant (Yes in step S217), the CPU 103 displays a guidance screen (not shown) for guiding movement to the editing booth 4 on the front display 22 (step S219).

<2.3. Graffiti processing>
Next, the graffiti processing (step S30) will be described. FIG. 26 is a flowchart of the graffiti processing.

  The CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 to display a standby screen (not shown) waiting for the user to move from the imaging booth 2 to the editing booth 4 (step S311).

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 determines which photographing course has been selected in step S113 (step S312).

(When "Face Course" is selected)
When “face course” is selected in step S113 (in the case of “face” in step S312), the CPU 103 displays an eye shadow selection screen (not shown) on the editing display 411, and is generated in step S216B. The selection of the appearance of the eyes in the normal photographic image is received (step S313A). For example, on the eye shadow selection screen, the user can select from two types of eye shadows: "fluffy", in which makeup is applied to the eyes, and "clear", in which makeup is applied to the eyes. , Select your favorite eye image. The eye shadow is commonly selected for all users playing together.

  A sample image generated based on the test shooting in step S214B is displayed on the eye shadow selection screen (not shown). The sample image displayed on the eye shadow selection screen is an image obtained by subjecting the test image to image processing corresponding to each of the eye shadows that can be selected in step S313A.

  Next, the CPU 103 displays an individual correction selection screen (not shown) on the editing display 411, and accepts selection of correction for the user's face for each user (step S314A).

  On the individual correction selection screen (not shown), a sample image generated based on the test shooting in step S214B is displayed. In the sample image displayed on the individual correction selection screen, the test image is processed by the image processing corresponding to the image of the eye selected in step S313A and the image processing corresponding to each of the selectable correction combination patterns in step S314A. This is the applied image.

  On the individual correction selection screen (not shown), the user can individually select the correction to be applied to each face. That is, each user can individually select a correction for his or her own face, irrespective of selection by other users playing together.

  The correction for the face selected by the user on the individual correction selection screen (not shown) may be performed by, for example, the size of the face, the size of the iris (the ratio of the iris area to the iris area), or the outline of the face, This is a correction for changing the shape. Each user selects his / her favorite eye size from, for example, three levels of eye sizes of “natural”, “recommended”, and “volume”. Further, each user can select his / her favorite iris size (the ratio of the iris region to the iris region) from three types of iris sizes (the ratio of the iris region to the iris region) of “small”, “recommended”, and “large”. Percentage). Further, each user selects his / her favorite contour from three types of contours, for example, “natural”, “lift-up”, and “slim-up”.

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 displays a skin brightness selection screen (not shown) on the editing display 411, and receives a selection of the skin brightness (step S315A). The user can select a desired skin brightness from, for example, five levels of skin brightness on the skin brightness selection screen. Skin brightness is commonly selected for all users.

  On the skin brightness selection screen (not shown), a sample image generated based on the test shooting in step S214B is displayed. The sample image displayed on the skin brightness selection screen corresponds to the image processing corresponding to the image of the eyes selected in step S313A and the correction for each user's face selected in step S314A on the test image. This is the image that has been subjected to the image processing performed and the image processing corresponding to each of the skin brightnesses that can be selected in step S315A.

(When "Event course" or "Collage course" is selected)
If “event course” or “collage course” is selected in step S113 (“other” in step S312), the CPU 103 displays an eye shadow selection screen (not shown) on the editing display 411, and Is selected (step S313B).

  The eye shadow selection process for the “event course” and the “collage course” (step S313B) is the same as the eye shadow selection process for the “face course” (step S313A). However, in the “event course” and the “collage course”, since the test photographing (step S214B) is not performed in the photographing process, an eye shadow selection screen (not shown) and an eye size selection screen (not shown) described later. And a skin brightness selection screen (not shown) respectively show selectable eye appearance, eye size, or skin brightness for a normal close-up photo image generated based on the first shooting, for example. Is displayed after the image processing corresponding to.

  Next, the CPU 103 displays an eye size selection screen (not shown) on the editing display 411, and accepts selection of an eye size (step S314B). The user selects a desired eye size from three levels of eye sizes, for example, “natural”, “recommended”, and “volume”. The eye size in the “event course” and the “collage course” is different from the face correction in the “face course” (step S314A), and is commonly selected for all users.

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 displays a skin brightness selection screen (not shown) on the editing display 411, and receives a selection of the skin brightness (step S315B). The skin brightness selection processing (step S315B) in the case of the “event course” and the “collage course” is the same as the eye reflection selection processing of the “face course” (step S315A).

  Thereafter, the CPU 103 adjusts the selected eye reflection, eye size, and skin brightness for the normal photo image, the collage image photo image, and the user image generated in the photographing process (step S20). The corresponding image processing is performed (step S316). If “face course” is selected in step S113, image processing corresponding to correction for the face of each user, which is individually selected by the user in step S314A, is further performed (step S316). Thereafter, the normal photo image, the collage image photo image, and the user image after each image processing are processed.

  Next, the CPU 103 starts the graffiti editing process (step S317).

(When "collage course" is selected)
FIG. 27 shows a graffiti editing screen displayed on the editing display 411 in the graffiti editing process (step S317) when “collage course” is selected in step S113 and the collage layout image 1165A is selected in step S116C. It is a schematic diagram of 3160A.

  As shown in FIG. 27, the graffiti edit screen 3160A includes an edit area 3161, a thumbnail image display area 3162, an edit image display area 3163, and an information display area 3164. The edit area 3161, the thumbnail image display area 3162, and the edit image display area 3163 are arranged on the left and right of the graffiti edit screen 3160A. The information display area 3164 is arranged between the left and right editing areas 3163, and displays the latest information regularly acquired from an external device via a network, such as music news, for example.

  In the graffiti editing process (step S317), six normal photo images generated by the collage shooting and the normal shooting, the collage layout image selected in the step S116C, and the collage image photo image generated by the collage shooting And a collage image generated using the user image is to be edited. Here, in step S2136, the photographic image generated based on the collage shooting and the photographic image generated based on the normal shooting are collectively referred to as a normal photographic image to be edited.

  In each thumbnail image display area 3162, thumbnail images 3162a to 3162f corresponding to the normal photograph images are displayed. In each thumbnail image display area 3162, thumbnail images 3162Ag and 3162Ah corresponding to the collage image are displayed.

  When the user touches the thumbnail images 3162a to 3162f, 3162Ag, and 3162Ah on the left side of the screen, the CPU 103 displays an edit target selection screen (not shown) on the left area of the graffiti edit screen 3160A. When the user touches thumbnail images 3162a to 3162f, 3162Ag, and 3162Ah on the right side of the screen, CPU 103 causes an edit target selection screen (not shown) to pop up on the right area of graffiti edit screen 3160A.

  On each edit target selection screen (not shown), six normal photo images corresponding to the thumbnail images 3162a to 3162f are displayed. The user can select a normal photo image to be edited by touching one of the six normal photo images on each editing target selection screen. The normal photo images selected on the left and right editing object selection screens are displayed in the left and right editing areas 3161, respectively.

  In addition, two collage images corresponding to the thumbnail images 3162Ag and 3162Ah are also displayed on each edit target selection screen (not shown). On each edit target selection screen, only one of the two displayed collage images can be selected as an edit target. For example, on the edit target selection screen displayed on the left area of the graffiti edit screen 3160A, only the collage image corresponding to the thumbnail image 3162Ag can be selected as the edit target, and the collage image corresponding to the thumbnail image 3162Ah is grayed out. ing. On the other hand, on the edit target selection screen displayed on the right area of the graffiti edit screen 3160A, only the collage image corresponding to the thumbnail image 3162Ah can be selected as the edit target, and the collage image corresponding to the thumbnail image 3162Ag is grayed out. ing. When each user touches and selects a selectable collage image on each of the left and right edit target selection screens, the collage image is displayed in each of the left and right edit areas 3161.

  Note that the collage image editable in the left editing area 3161 and the collage image editable in the right editing area 3161 may be the same or different. For example, when a collage layout image including information unique to each user, such as a name input in the pre-service processing, is selected in step S116C, a collage image that can be edited in the left editing area 3161, and a collage image in the right editing area The collage image editable in 3161 includes information of different users. When a collage layout image in which a photograph image for each user is arranged is selected in step S116C, a collage that can be edited in the left editing area 3161 as in collage images 3165HL and 3165HR (FIG. 29) described later. The photographic images included in the image and the collage image that can be edited in the right editing area 3161 are different.

  In the example of FIG. 27, the user on the left selects a normal photo image as an editing target, and a normal photo image 3175 is displayed in an editing area 3161 on the left. In the edited image display area 3163 on the left side, an icon image 3163a corresponding to an edited image such as a stamp image is displayed. The user selects a desired edited image by touching the icon image 3163a, and arranges the edited image on the normal photographic image 3175 in the editing area 3161.

  In the example of FIG. 27, a collage image 3165A selected as an edit target is displayed in an edit area 3161 on the right side. The collage image 3165A is a collage layout image 1165A selected in step S116C, and a collage image generated using the collage image photograph image and the user image generated based on the collage shooting in step S2136. The collage image 3165A can be generated by a method similar to the collage image generation process (step S320) described later.

  When the collage image 3165A is selected as the editing target, the CPU 103 sets the information selection unit 3163b for selecting display / non-display of information such as a shooting location, a shooting date and time, a shooting date weather, an event name, and the like to the right of the editing image. This is displayed in the display area 3163. However, in the case of a collage image generated using a collage layout image that is not an information display target as described above, such as the collage image 3165A, the CPU 103 cannot use the information selection unit 3163b on the information selection unit 3163b. Then, a message image 3166 of the effect is displayed.

  When the collage image 3165A is selected as an edit target, an icon image corresponding to the collage image edit image is displayed in the edit image display area 3163. In the example of FIG. 27, the user can switch the display of the information selection unit 3163b in the right edit image display area 3163 to the display of the icon image corresponding to the edit image by touching the display switch button 3163c. Although not specifically shown, as the edited image for the collage image, for example, “face graffiti”, “animal face”, or SNS that can hide the face of a user other than the user so that the collage image can be easily used in SNS or the like. And stamp images such as "Collage Messe", which has a stylish design suitable for sharing in such places.

  When the collage image 3165A is selected as an editing target and the collage image 3165A is a target of a predetermined processing (for example, a filter processing or the like), the CPU 103 sets a degree (processing density) of a processing effect applied to the collage image. Is displayed below the editing area 3161 to perform processing. Whether or not a collage image is to be processed is predetermined for each collage layout image. By moving the cursor on the processing adjustment bar 3173 to the right, the user can increase the processing density of the collage image 3165A to be edited. Also, the user can reduce the processing density of the collage image 3165A to be edited by moving the cursor on the processing adjustment bar 3173 to the left. The CPU 103 changes each parameter of the image processing performed on the collage image 3165A according to the position of the cursor on the processing adjustment bar 3173, and stores the collage image 3165A that has been subjected to the image processing of each changed parameter in the editing area 3161. indicate.

  When the collage image 3165A is selected as the editing target, a color pattern selection button 3174 for changing the color of the frame image 1165Ae of the collage image 3165A is displayed near the editing area 3161. By touching the color pattern selection button 3174 of the desired color, the user can change the color of the frame image 1165Ae of the collage image 3165A to be edited to a color corresponding to the touched color pattern selection button 3174. it can. The CPU 103 changes and displays the frame image 1165Ae of the collage image 3165A in the editing area 3161 according to the touched color pattern selection button 3174.

  The user can change, move, and adjust the image size of the photographic image included in the collage image 3165A. Specifically, when the collage image 3165A is selected as an editing target, a “reselect image” button 3167 is displayed near the editing area 3161. When the user touches a “reselect image” button 3167, a collage image editing screen 3168 shown in FIG. 28 is displayed. The user can change, move, and adjust the image size of the photographic image included in the collage image 3165A on the collage image editing screen 3168.

  As shown in FIG. 28, the collage image editing screen 3168 includes a thumbnail image display area 3169 and an editing area 3170. In the editing area 3170, a collage image 3165A to be edited on the graffiti editing screen 3160A is displayed. The user touches any of the collage photograph images 3165Aa to 3165Ad included in the collage image 3165A in the editing area 3170 to select a photograph image to be changed, moved, and adjusted in image size. In the example of FIG. 28, the photo image 3165Ac has been selected, and a selection frame 3170a indicating that the photo image 3165Ac is being selected is displayed around the photo image 3165Ac.

  An arrow 3170b indicating that movement is possible is displayed on the selected photo image 3165Ac. The user touches the photo image 3165Ac with the touch pen 412 and moves the touch pen 412 as it is, so that the photo image 3165Ac can be moved in the photo image placement area 1165Ac. That is, the position of the cut in the photographic image 3165Ac can be adjusted.

  In the editing area 3170, an image size adjustment bar 3170c is displayed. The user can reduce the image size of the selected photo image 3165c by moving the cursor on the image size adjustment bar 3170c to the left. The user can enlarge the image size of the selected photo image 3165Ac by moving the cursor on the image size adjustment bar 3170c to the right. That is, the range of the cut in the photographic image 3165Ac can be adjusted.

  In the thumbnail image display area 3169, thumbnail images 3169a to 3169f of the normal close-up photograph image and the normal whole body photograph image generated based on the collage photographing and the normal photographing in step S2136 are displayed. If a user image has been generated in step S2136, thumbnail images 3169g and 3169h of the user image are also displayed in thumbnail image display area 3169. When the user touches any of the thumbnail images 3169a to 3169h, the selected photo image 3165Ac can be replaced with the image corresponding to the touched thumbnail image 3169a to 3169h.

  When the user touches the "shuffle photos" button 3170d, the photo images included in the collage image 3165A are switched at random. That is, the photograph images 3165Aa to 3165Ad currently included in the collage image 3165A can be replaced with images randomly selected from the images corresponding to the thumbnail images 3169a to 3169h.

  When the user touches the OK button 3171 or the “quit” button 3172 on the collage image editing screen 3168, the CPU 103 ends the display of the collage image editing screen 3168 and displays the graffiti editing screen 3160A shown in FIG. 27 again.

  When the user touches the OK button 3171 on the collage image editing screen 3168, the editing area 3161 of the graffiti editing screen 3160A includes a change, a movement, and an image size adjustment of the photographic image input by the user on the collage image editing screen 3168. Is displayed.

  When the user touches the “quit” button 3172 on the collage image editing screen 3168, the collage image 3165A displayed in the editing area 3161 before the collage image editing screen 3168 is displayed in the editing area 3161 of the graffiti editing screen 3160A. In other words, the collage image editing screen 3168 displays a collage image 3165A in which the change, movement, and image size adjustment of the photo image input by the user are not reflected.

  FIG. 29 is a schematic diagram of the graffiti editing screen 3160H when “collage course” is selected in step S113 and the collage layout image 1165H is selected in step S116C.

  In FIG. 29, a collage image 3165HL is displayed as an edit target in an edit area 3161 on the left side. In the editing area 3161 on the right side, a collage image 3165HR to be edited is displayed. Similar to the collage image 3165A, the collage images 3165HL and 3165HR are generated using the collage layout image 1165H selected in step S116C and the collage photograph image and the user image generated based on the collage shooting in step S2136. It is a collage image performed.

  The collage image 3165HL includes photographic images 3165HLa, 3165Hb, and 3165Hc. The collage image 3165HR includes the same photographic images 3165Hb and 3165Hc as the collage image 3165HL, and a photographic image 3165HRa different from the photographic image 3165HLa of the collage image 3165HL.

  The collage image 3165HL of the photograph image 3165HLa and the collage image 3165HR of the photograph image 3165HRa are two users generated by cutting out each of the left region and the right region of one whole body image in the photograph image generation processing of step S2136. It is an image. The photographic image 3165HLa shows the user standing on the left side toward the camera 21 in the collage shooting (step S2135). In the photographic image 3165HRa, a user standing on the right side toward the camera 21 in the collage shooting (step S2135) is shown.

  In each thumbnail image display area 3162, thumbnail images 3162Hg and 3162Hh corresponding to the two collage images 3165HL and 3165HR are displayed. As described above, in each editing area 3161, one of the collage images 3165HL and 3165HR is displayed. Only can be edited. For example, in a left editing area 3161 operated by a user standing on the left side of the screen, only the collage image 3165HL corresponding to the thumbnail image 3162Hg can be selected and edited, and the user can stand on the right side of the screen. In the editing area 3161 on the right side operated by the user, only the collage image 3165HR corresponding to the thumbnail image 3162Hh can be selected and edited.

  The collage layout image 1165H used for the collage images 3165HL and 3165HR is a layout image for displaying information such as a shooting location, a shooting date and time, a shooting date weather, and an event name. For this reason, the collage images 3165HL and 3165HR include information images 3165HLd and 3165HRd displaying the above information. Therefore, each user can select display / non-display of various types of information in the information selection unit 3163b.

  The information selected by the CPU 103 from the server (not shown) at a predetermined timing is displayed on the information selection unit 3163b in addition to the information stored in the HDD 104 of the photo game machine 1 in advance. For example, the CPU 103 transmits the postal code of the installation location of the photo game machine 1 to the server at the timing when the power of the photo game machine 1 is turned on, and the name of the prefecture or area corresponding to the post code, and the postal code. Information such as a sentence using a local dialect corresponding to the number is obtained from the server. In addition, for example, the CPU 103 periodically transmits the postal code of the installation location of the photographing and amusement machine 1 to the server, and acquires the weather information of the area corresponding to the postal code from the external system via the server. Note that the postal code of the installation location of the photographing game machine 1 is input by the administrator of the photographing game machine 1 when the photographing game machine 1 is installed, and is stored in the HDD 104.

  In the example of FIG. 29, the user on the left side has selected the place name (“OSAKA”) of the shooting location and the date of the shooting date (“2014.7.14”) in the information selection unit 3163b, and the selected information Is displayed in the collage image 3165HL. The user on the right side has selected the event name (“PARTY”) and the date (“2014.7.14”) in the information selection unit 3163b, and the information image 3165HRd corresponding to the selected information is displayed in the collage image 3165HR.

When the “event course” or the “face course” is selected in step S113, the graffiti editing process (step S317) selects “collage course” in step S113 except that there is no collage image to be edited. It is almost the same as when it was done. That is, even when “event course” or “face course” is selected in step S113, the CPU 103 displays the same graffiti editing screen on the editing display 411 as when “collage course” is selected in step S113. Then, the editing operation by the user is accepted.

  However, when “event course” is selected in step S113, CPU 103 displays background design introduction screen 3176 at the time of initial display of graffiti editing screen 3160B, as shown in FIG.

  In the “event course”, the photographing is performed without placing the curtain 24 for the chroma key composition processing behind the user, and the chroma key composition processing for replacing the area behind the user in the normal photographic image with the background image is not performed. Therefore, when no treatment is performed, an image of the color (for example, white) of the surface 26 of the rear housing 20 </ b> B is finally generated for all or almost all of the background of the user. The background design introduction screen 3176 is a screen that informs the user that the background of such an image can be changed to a design background image. On the background design introduction screen 3176, a sample image 3176a of a design background image for a normal close-up photo image and a sample image 3176b of a design background image for a normal whole body photo image are displayed.

  When the user touches the OK button 3176c on the background design introduction screen 3176, the CPU 103 ends the display of the background design introduction screen 3176. As shown in FIG. 31, an icon image 3163d indicating the design background is displayed in the edit image display area 3163 of the graffiti edit screen 3160B. When the user touches the icon image 3163d, the CPU 103 uses the normal photo image (up and whole body) to be edited from the white area of the background (the area where the surface 26 of the rear housing 20B is shown) by processing different from the chroma key processing. Extractor region. When the editing target is a normal whole-body photo image, a floor member (not shown) for the chroma key synthesizing process is shown at a lower portion of the normal whole body photo image. Extract. The CPU 103 superimposes the user area extracted from the normal photograph image to be edited on the design background image corresponding to the touched icon image 3163d, and displays the user area in the editing area 3161.

  Also, regardless of which photographing course is selected, the whole body photograph image can be edited on the graffiti editing screen by using the one-point stamp image that is the edited image.

  As shown in FIG. 32, when a normal whole-body photo image 3177 is selected as an object to be edited on the graffiti editing screen 3160C, the icon images 3163Le, 3163Re, 3163Lf, 3163Rf, 3163Lg, and 3163Rg corresponding to the one-point stamp image are edited. It is displayed in the display area 3163. When the icon images 3163Le, 3163Re, 3163Lf, 3163Rf, 3163Lg, and 3163Rg are not displayed in the edited image display area 3163, by touching a “one point” button 3163h, the icon images 3163Le, 3163Re, 3163Lf, 3163Rf, 3163Lg, and 3163Lg are displayed. The display can be switched to 3163Rg. The icon images 3163Le, 3163Re, 3163Lf, 3163Rf, 3163Lg, and 3163Rg are images that allow the user to image the position and orientation of the one-point stamp image in the normal whole-body photograph image 3177, and are arranged in the model and its vicinity. Display a one-point stamp.

  For example, in the icon image 3163Le, the one-point stamp is arranged along the left temporal region of the model. When the user touches the icon image 3163Le, the one-point stamp image corresponding to the icon image 3163Le has the same direction as the direction of the one-point stamp in the icon image 3163Le in the normal whole-body photo image 3177, and is the left side of the left user. It is arranged along the temporal region. On the other hand, in the icon image 3163Re, the one-point stamp is arranged along the right temporal region of the model. When the user touches the icon image 3163Re, the one-point stamp image corresponding to the icon image 3163Re has the same direction as the direction of the one-point stamp in the icon image 3163Re in the normal whole-body photo image 3177, and the right side of the right side of the user on the right side. It is arranged along the temporal region.

  In the icon image 3163Lf, a one-point stamp is arranged along the left body of the model. When the user touches the icon image 3163Lf, the one-point stamp image corresponding to the icon image 3163Lf has the same orientation as that of the one-point stamp in the icon image 3163Lf in the normal whole-body photo image 3177, and the left torso of the left user. It is arranged along. On the other hand, in the icon image 3163Rf, the one-point stamp is arranged along the right body of the model. When the user touches the icon image 3163Rf, the one-point stamp image corresponding to the icon image 3163Rf has the same orientation as that of the one-point stamp in the icon image 3163Rf in the normal whole-body photo image 3177, and the right body of the right user. It is arranged along.

  In the icon image 3163Lg, a one-point stamp is arranged along the left leg of the model. When the user touches the icon image 3163Lg, the one-point stamp image corresponding to the icon image 3163Lg has the same direction as the direction of the one-point stamp in the icon image 3163Lg in the normal whole-body photo image 3177, and the left leg of the user on the left side. It is arranged along. On the other hand, in the icon image 3163Rg, a one-point stamp is arranged along the right leg of the model. When the user touches the icon image 3163Rg, the one-point stamp image corresponding to the icon image 3163Rg has the same direction as the direction of the one-point stamp in the icon image 3163Rg in the normal whole-body photo image 3177, and the right leg of the right user. It is arranged along.

  By touching the inversion button 3163i, the user can invert the one-point stamp image arranged in the normal whole-body photo image 3177 horizontally.

  More specifically, when the invert button 3163i is touched, the icon images 3163Le, 3163Re, 3163Lf, 3163Rf, 3163Lg, and 3163Rg shown in FIG. Is done. When the changed icon images 3163Le, 3163Re, 3163Lf, 3163Rf, 3163Lg, and 3163Rg are touched, the CPU 103 sets the position and orientation corresponding to the changed icon images 3163Le, 3163Re, 3163Lf, 3163Rf, 3163Lg, and 3163Rg in one position. The point image is arranged in the normal photograph image 3177. That is, the CPU 103 inverts the one-point stamp image left and right with respect to the arrangement target user, and arranges the one-point stamp image in the normal whole-body photograph image 3177.

  In addition, by touching the “turn off” button 3163j, the one-point stamp image arranged in the normal whole-body photo image 3177 can be collectively deleted.

  Hereinafter, the process of arranging the one-point stamp image on the normal whole-body photo image will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 33A, the CPU 103 first generates a mask image 200 for distinguishing the user region 200a from the region 200b other than the user region with respect to the normal whole body photograph image.

  Next, the CPU 103 binarizes the mask image 200 and expands the user area 200a according to the size of the one-point stamp image selected by touching the icon images 3163Le, 3163Re, 3163Lf, 3163Rf, 3163Lg, 3163Rg. I do. As a result, a detection image 201 for detecting the position at which the one-point stamp image is arranged is generated (FIG. 33B).

  The CPU 103 divides the detection image 201 into six equal sections of, for example, upper left, upper right, left center, right center, lower left, and lower right. The section corresponding to the one-point stamp image selected by touching is scanned from a predetermined position to detect a boundary 201c between the expanded user area 201a and the other area 201b.

  For example, when the one-point image corresponding to the icon image 3163Le is selected, the CPU 103 scans the upper left section of the detection image 201 from the upper left corner to the lower left corner. When the one-point image corresponding to the icon image 3163Re is selected, the CPU 103 scans the upper right section of the detection image 201 from the upper right corner to the lower right corner. When the one-point image corresponding to the icon image 3163Lf is selected, the CPU 103 scans the left central section of the detection image 201 in the horizontal direction from the center of the left edge. When the one-point image corresponding to the icon image 3163Rf is selected, the CPU 103 scans the right central section of the detection image 201 in the horizontal direction from the center of the right edge. When the one-point image corresponding to the icon image 3163Lg is selected, the CPU 103 scans the lower left section of the detection image 201 from the lower left corner to the upper left corner. When the one-point image corresponding to the icon image 3163Rg is selected, the CPU 103 scans the lower right section of the detection image 201 from the lower right corner to the upper right corner.

  If the boundary line 201c cannot be detected in the section corresponding to the selected one-point stamp image, the CPU 103 determines the boundary line 201c in order from the section closest to the section corresponding to the selected one-point stamp image. Scan until is detected.

  FIGS. 33C and 33D illustrate a case where the icon image 3163Le is touched on the graffiti editing screen 3160C. The CPU 103 scans the upper left section 205 of the detection image 201 from the upper left corner to the lower left corner, and detects the boundary line 201c (FIG. 33C).

  The CPU 103 sets the coordinates of the point 203 shifted by the size of the one-point stamp image corresponding to the icon image 3163Le from the detection point 202 along the boundary 201c as the arrangement start coordinates. The CPU 103 arranges the selected one-point stamp image 204 along the boundary 201c from the position of the arrangement start coordinate in the normal whole-body photograph image (FIG. 33D).

  Although the lower half of the mask image 200 and the detection image 200 is omitted in the example of FIG. 33, the mask image 200 and the detection image 200 are images including the entire body of the user.

  After the graffiti editing process in step S317 ends, the CPU 103 generates a normal composite photographic image (step S318).

  If “collage course” or “face course” is selected in step S113, the CPU 103 extracts a user area from each normal photograph image by chroma key processing and arranges the user area on the background image corresponding to the normal photograph image. Then, an edited image input in the graffiti editing process (step S317) is superimposed thereon and synthesized to generate a normal synthesized photographic image.

  When the “event course” is selected in step S113, the CPU 103 does not extract the user area by the chroma key processing for each of the normal up-photograph images, and performs the editing input in the graffiti editing processing (step S317). The images are superimposed and synthesized to generate a normally up synthesized photographic image.

  When the design background image is selected in the graffiti editing process (step S317) for each normally-up photo image, the CPU 103 performs a process different from the chroma key process to generate a white region of the background of the normally-up photo image (the surface 26 of the rear housing 20B). The user area is extracted from the area where the image appears, and is arranged on the selected design background image. The CPU 103 overlays and combines the edited image input in the graffiti editing process (step S317) to generate a normal up composite photograph image.

  Further, the CPU 103 extracts a user area (foot area) by chroma key processing from an area where a floor surface (floor member for chroma key synthesizing processing) appears in each normal whole body photographic image, and obtains a predetermined background image (for example, a white background). Image), and the edited image input in the graffiti editing process (step S317) is arranged thereon and synthesized to generate a normal whole-body synthesized photograph image. However, also for the normal whole-body photographic image, the user area is not extracted by the chroma key process in the area above the floor (the area where the surface 26 of the rear housing 20B is shown).

  If a design background image is selected in the graffiti editing process (step S317) for each normal whole-body photo image, the CPU 103 extracts a user region from the region where the floor member for chroma key synthesis is reflected in the normal whole-body photo image by chroma key processing. At the same time, the user area is extracted from the white area of the background (the area where the surface 26 of the rear housing 20B is captured) by a process different from the chroma key process. The CPU 103 arranges the extracted user area on the selected design background image, and further superimposes and synthesizes the edited images input in the graffiti editing process (step S317) to generate a normal whole-body synthesized photograph image. .

  When “collage course” is selected in step S113 (in the case of “collage” in step S319), the CPU 103 generates a collage image (step S320).

  Specifically, the photograph image and the user image for the collage image generated in step S2136 or the normal photograph image and the user image selected by the user as the photograph image for the collage image in the graffiti editing process in step S317. Cut out at a predetermined position and range, and reduce to a predetermined size. Thereafter, these images are arranged at predetermined positions on the background image of the collage layout image selected in step S116C, and the color frame image input in the graffiti editing process (step S317) and the graffiti editing process (step S317) ), The information image that displays information such as the shooting location, shooting date and time, weather of the shooting day, event name, and the like, and the edited image input in the graffiti editing process (step S317). Generate a collage image for transmission to the device. In the case of the collage image to be processed, processing is further performed according to the processing density input in the graffiti editing processing (step S317).

  The position and range of the cutout for each image arranged in the collage layout image and the image size are determined in advance according to each photograph image arrangement area of the collage layout image. However, when the position and / or range of the cut for each image is changed by the user operation on the collage image editing screen 3168, each image is cut at the position and / or range specified by the user, and the collage layout image is displayed. Placed in

  After that, when “face course” or “collage course” is selected in step S113, the CPU 103 displays a sheet layout image selection screen (not shown) on the editing display 411, and the user selects a sheet layout image. Is received (step S321). If “event course” has been selected in step S113, the sheet layout image has already been selected in step S117A of the preliminary customer service process. The CPU 103 arranges and combines the respective normal composite photographic images at predetermined positions of the sheet layout image selected by the user, and generates a sheet image to be printed on a sticker sheet.

  Further, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the post-service unit 5 is vacant (step S322). If the post-service unit 5 is not vacant (No in step S322), the CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 to display a standby screen (not shown) for urging the user to wait (step S323). If the after-sales service unit 5 is vacant (Yes in step S322), the CPU 103 transmits the generated sheet image to the printer 650 and starts printing (step S324). Further, the CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 to display a guidance screen (not shown) for guiding the user to the customer service unit 5 after the fact (step S325).

<2.4. Post-service processing>
Next, the post-service processing (step S40) will be described. FIG. 34 is a flowchart of the post-service processing.

  The CPU 103 causes the reception display 51 to display a start screen (not shown). When the user who has moved from the editing booth 4 touches the start screen with a finger, the CPU 103 starts an image transmission process (step S411).

  When the image transmission process is started, the CPU 103 displays the transmission target image selection screen 4110 shown in FIG. 35 on the reception display 51, and receives the selection of the transmission target image.

  On the transmission target image selection screen 4110, the normal composite photographic images 4111 and 4112 generated in step S318 are displayed. If “collage course” is selected in step S113, the collage image 4113 generated in step S320 is also displayed on the transmission target image selection screen 4110.

  The user touches the OK button 4114 after touching and selecting one of the normal composite photograph images 4111 and 4112 and the collage image 4113. Thereby, the selection of the transmission target image by the user is determined.

  Next, the CPU 103 displays an input screen (not shown) for prompting the user to input a mail address in order to send the user a notification mail in which a URL for obtaining the image selected by the user is described. Displayed at 51. The user inputs and decides the mail address according to the guidance on the input screen.

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 transmits the mail address input by the user and information of each image to a server (not shown). In response to this, the server sends a notification mail in which a URL for acquiring an image is described to the input mail address. The user can acquire the image selected on the transmission target image selection screen 4110 by accessing the URL described in the received notification mail. When the user has selected the normal composite photographic images 4111 and 4112 on the transmission target image selection screen 4110, the user selects the selected normal composite photographic image (the image of the eye selected in step S313A or step S313B is reflected). In addition to the photograph image), it is possible to acquire a normal composite photograph image in which the appearance of the eyes not selected in step S313A or step S313B is reflected.

  FIG. 36 is a diagram exemplifying a state in which, when the collage image 4113 is selected on the transmission target image selection screen 4110, the user accesses the URL of the notification mail using the terminal device 60 and acquires the collage image 61. is there.

  The image transmission process of step S411 is executed during a waiting time until the printing process of the sheet image in step S324 is completed. When the printing process in step S324 is completed, the CPU 103 discharges the sticker (photo sticker) on which the sheet image has been printed from the photo sticker outlet 52 (step S412). This is a series of play for a set of users.

  As described above, in the photographing and amusement machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the user can select any one of the “event course”, the “face course”, and the “collage course” according to time and case. Therefore, as described below, it is possible to meet various needs of the user.

  In the “event course”, a region of the photograph image generated by shooting that is above the floor surface is not a target of the chroma key combination, and therefore, almost all of the region where the user is photographed is caused by the chroma key combination process. No discoloration occurs. For this reason, it is possible to meet the needs of users who want to leave coordinates and makeup for special events and the like as images as clean as possible.

  On the other hand, in the “face course”, the user can individually select correction for the face, such as the size of the eyes, the size of the iris, or the contour. Therefore, each user can select his / her favorite correction without worrying about other users. This makes it possible to complete a photographic image in which each user wants to be a face, and can meet the individual needs of the user who wants to be as cute as possible.

  In the “collage course”, collage shooting can be performed while checking the process of generating a collage image. Since the user can change, move, and adjust the image size of the photographic image included in the collage image, it is possible to generate a collage image with a high degree of perfection. Further, the user enhances the originality of the collage image by displaying information such as a shooting location, a shooting date and time, a shooting date weather, an event name, and the like, and editing using a collage image editing image. Collage images with higher design quality. The collage image generated in this way is transmitted to the user's terminal device and can be used on the SNS or the like, so that the user's need to share a stylish collage image on the SNS or the like can be met.

  As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

  (1) For example, in the above-described embodiment, only in the case of the “event course”, in a photographic image generated by shooting, an area above the floor surface is described as not being subjected to the chroma key synthesis processing. Also in the case of the “face course” and the “collage course”, the region in the photographic image that is higher than the floor surface need not be subjected to the chroma key synthesis processing. In this case, the photographic amusement machine 1 does not need to include the curtain 24 and the elevating device 25 for the chroma key synthesizing process.

  (2) In the above embodiment, in the photographic image of the “event course”, the area where the floor surface appears is subjected to the chroma key synthesis processing, but the area can be excluded from the chroma key synthesis processing. In this case, the floor member of the rear housing 20B does not have to be the floor member for the chroma key synthesis processing.

  (3) In the above embodiment, each user can individually select the correction for the face only when the “face course” is selected. However, the “event course” and the “collage course” In the case of, in the same manner as in the “face course”, a correction for the face may be selected for each user, and a photographic image subjected to image processing corresponding to the correction according to each user's selection may be generated. .

  (4) In the above embodiment, the collage image generated in the “collage course” is described as being not printed. However, a collage image can be printed.

  (5) In the above-described embodiment, each shooting course has been mainly described as an example in which two players play. However, any shooting course may be played by one person or three or more people. Is also good.
