Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
1. System configuration
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a photography system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIG. 1, 110 is a photography device, 120 is a management server, 130a and 130b are advertisement servers, 140 is a user terminal, and 150 is a network. The photography device 110, the management server 120, the advertisement server 130, the advertisement servers 130a and 130b, and the user terminal 140 are connected to a public network 150 such as the Internet, and are capable of transmitting and receiving data to and from each other. The advertisement servers 130a and 130b may be collectively referred to as advertisement servers 130. In the example of FIG. 1, for convenience of explanation, one photography device 110, one user terminal 140, and two advertisement servers 130 are shown, but more of each may be connected. In reality, the photography device 110 is installed in various stores, and many advertisement servers 130 exist as WEB servers that can be accessed by anyone in general.

The imaging device 110 is a device for taking photographs that is installed in stores, public facilities, etc. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the details of the imaging device 110. In FIG. 2, FIG. 2(a) is a hardware configuration diagram of the imaging device 110, and FIG. 2(b) is a functional block diagram of the imaging device 110. As shown in the external appearance of FIG. 1, the imaging device 110 has a housing, has a space inside which a person can enter, and has a display device 110f such as an LCD display and an imaging device 110h such as a camera installed so that they can be recognized by the user.

As shown in FIG. 2(a), the photographing device 110 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 110a, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 110b as the main memory, a non-volatile storage device 110c (e.g., a hard disk, flash memory, etc.) for storing programs and data executed by the CPU 110a, an instruction input unit 110d such as a keyboard or touch panel, a printer 110e for outputting data to a printer, a display device (such as a liquid crystal display) 110f, a communication unit 110g for performing network communication with other computers such as the management server 120 via the network 150, a photographing device 110h (such as a CCD camera) for photographing the user, and a short-range wireless communication unit 110i for performing direct wireless communication with other terminals without going through the network 150, all of which are connected to each other via a bus.

The instruction input unit 110d and the display device 110f can be realized in various ways, but in this embodiment, the instruction input unit 110d and the display device 110f are realized as a touch panel display. Therefore, the touch panel display serves as both the display device 110f and the instruction input unit 110d. The communication method used by the short-range wireless communication unit 110i is not particularly limited as long as it is a form of wireless communication over a relatively short distance, and various well-known methods such as Bluetooth and wireless LAN can be used. Each component shown in FIG. 2(a) is housed in a housing having an external appearance as shown in FIG. 1.

Figure 2(b) is a functional block diagram of the photographing device 110. In the hardware configuration shown in Figure 2(a), the photographing device 110 can realize each of the means shown in Figure 2(b) by the CPU 110a loading a program stored in the storage device 110c into the RAM 110b and executing it. As shown in Figure 2(b), the photographing device 110 has a display means 111, a photographing means 112, an image arrangement means 113, a layout image output means 114, and a billing processing means 115.

The display means 111 is a means for displaying various information processed in the imaging device 110, and is realized by the CPU 110a executing a program and outputting the information to a display device 110f such as a liquid crystal display. The display means 111 also displays information for interactively executing an interface with the user, and images obtained by photographing the user. The imaging means 112 is a means for photographing the user, and is realized by the CPU 110a executing a program and issuing instructions to the imaging device 110h, which is an image sensor such as a CCD or CMOS.

The image arrangement means 113 is a means for arranging the photographed image and the access information in one of a number of sections to obtain a layout image. The image arrangement means 113 is realized by the CPU 110a executing a dedicated program stored in the storage device 110c. The image arrangement means 113 arranges the photographed image and the access information in each section based on the information of the section specified by the user.

The layout image output means 114 is a means for outputting a layout image obtained by laying out photographed images of a user. The layout image output means 114 is realized by the CPU 110a executing a program and outputting the layout image as data from the communication unit 110g to the outside. The layout image output means 114 is also realized by the CPU 110a executing a program and printing out the layout image on a paper medium from the printer 110e.

The billing processing means 115 is a means for performing billing processing based on the number of sections for placing access information in the layout image. Then, billing processing is performed based on amount data obtained by processing in a cash processing mechanism (not shown) and amount data acquired via the short-range wireless communication unit. The cash processing mechanism accepts bills, coins, etc., and recognizes the accepted amounts. The billing processing means is realized by the CPU 110a executing a program and exchanging data with the cash processing mechanism and the short-range wireless communication unit.

The photographing device 110 loads a program stored in the storage device 110c into the RAM 110b, executes it with the CPU 110a, and issues commands to other components, thereby realizing the functions of the display means 111, the photographing means 112, the image arrangement means 113, the layout image output means 114, the billing processing means 115, etc. The photographing device 110 also loads a program stored in the storage device 110c into the RAM 110b, and executes it with the CPU 110a, thereby realizing various other data processing and user interfaces.

The management server 120 is a server computer connected to the image capture device 110 via the network 150 so as to be capable of data communication. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the details of the management server 120. FIG. 3(a) is a hardware configuration diagram of the management server 120, and FIG. 3(b) is a functional block diagram of the management server 120.

The management server 120 can be realized by a general-purpose server computer, and as shown in FIG. 3(a), includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 120a, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 120b which is the main memory of the computer, a large-capacity storage device 120c (e.g., a hard disk, flash memory, etc.) for storing programs and data executed by the CPU, an input I/F (interface) 120d for receiving input from input devices such as a keyboard and a mouse, a data input/output I/F (interface) 120e for data communication with an external device (data storage medium, etc.), a display output I/F (interface) 120f for sending information to a display device (liquid crystal display, etc.), and a communication unit 120g for network communication with other computers such as the imaging device 110, the advertising server 130, and the user terminal 140 via the network 150, all of which are connected to each other via a bus.

Figure 3(b) is a functional block diagram of the management server 120. In the hardware configuration shown in Figure 3(a), the CPU 120a loads a program stored in the storage device 120c into the RAM 120b and executes it, thereby enabling the management server 120 to function the various means shown in Figure 3(b). As shown in Figure 3(b), the management server 120 has an access information storage means 121, a user attribute acquisition means 122, and an access information acquisition means 123.

The access information storage means 121 is a storage means that stores access addresses to information resources in the advertisement server 130 that publishes advertisement information. Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of information stored in the access information storage means 121. As shown in Figure 4, the access information storage means 121 stores the following items: advertisement name, access address, two-dimensional code, area information, user attributes, and purpose of use. Note that in Figure 4, advertisement names are used for ease of explanation, but in reality, advertisements are managed by advertisement IDs that identify them.

Each item of information stored in the access information storage means 121 will be described. The advertisement name is a name indicating the content of the advertisement. An access address and a two-dimensional code are stored as the access information. The access address is not a physical address such as location information, but a logical address for accessing the advertisement with a computer. In this embodiment, a URL that can access the advertisement data stored in the advertisement server 130 is used as the access address. The access address may be anything other than a URL as long as it is information for accessing information resources (resources) on a network. Examples of information resources on a network include data and services managed by a computer connected to a network such as the Internet. The two-dimensional code is optically readable code information that records an access address. Therefore, in this embodiment, the access information is a two-dimensional code that records the access address (URL) of the advertisement server 130, which is a device on a network. In this embodiment, a QR code (registered trademark) that records a URL is used as the two-dimensional code. Note that code information that records an access address may be anything other than a two-dimensional code such as a barcode. Additionally, in this embodiment, a two-dimensional code is used as an example of code information, but the access information may be recorded in other formats.

The area information is information indicating the area for delivering advertisements. There is no particular limitation on the area information as long as it can identify a specific geographical range, but for example, latitude and longitude specified within a specific range can be used. The user attributes are information indicating the attributes of the user who is to view the advertisement. There is no particular limitation on the user attributes as long as it can identify a user with specific characteristics, but in this embodiment, multiple attributes such as age, gender, and race are used. The purpose of use is information indicating the purpose of use of the captured image. For example, purposes of use such as for resumes, various types of driver's licenses, passports, and My Number are stored.

The user attribute acquisition means 122 is a means for performing image analysis of the captured image acquired from the image capture device 110 to acquire user attributes, which are attributes of the user. A known face recognition technology can be used as a technology for analyzing the captured image acquired from the image capture device 110 and determining the user attributes. The user attribute acquisition means 122 is realized by the CPU 120a executing a program using an algorithm of face recognition technology. The user attribute acquisition means 122 analyzes a captured image that shows the user's face to acquire attribute information such as the user's age, sex, and race.

The access information acquisition means 123 is a means for acquiring access information corresponding to the user attributes acquired by the user attribute acquisition means 122. In this embodiment, a two-dimensional code is acquired as the access information. The access information acquisition means 123 is realized by the CPU 120a executing a dedicated program stored in the storage device 120c. The access information acquisition means 123 refers to the access information storage means 121 using the user attributes acquired by the user attribute acquisition means 122, and acquires the corresponding two-dimensional code.

The management server 120 loads a program stored in the storage device 120c into the RAM 120b, executes it with the CPU 120a, and issues commands to other components, thereby implementing the functions of the access information storage means 121, the user attribute acquisition means 122, and the access information acquisition means 123. The storage device 120c also serves as a data storage area for the access information storage means 121. The management server 120 may be physically implemented as a single computer, or may be implemented as multiple computers. It may also be implemented as a cloud system distributed across multiple networks 150.

The advertisement server 130 is a server computer that publishes advertisement information. The advertisement server 130 has a hardware configuration similar to that of the management server 120, and realizes functions such as a processing means and a communication means by executing a program stored in a storage device. When an acquisition request is made from an external computer such as a user terminal 140 via the network 150, the advertisement server 130 performs a process of transmitting the requested advertisement information.

The advertising server 130 may be realized physically as a single computer, or may be realized as multiple computers. It may also be realized as multiple distributed cloud systems on the network 150.

Figure 5 is a hardware configuration diagram of the user terminal 140. The user terminal 140 is realized by a smartphone, which is a multi-functional portable terminal. As shown in Figure 5, the terminal includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 140a, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 140b as a main memory, a non-volatile storage device 140c (e.g., a hard disk, a flash memory, etc.) for storing programs and data executed by the CPU, an instruction input unit 140d such as a keyboard or a touch panel, a data input/output I/F (interface) 140e for data communication with an external device (data storage medium, etc.), a display device (liquid crystal display, etc.) 140f, a communication unit 140g for network communication with other computers such as the management server 120 via the network 150, a photographing device 140h for photographing images, a short-range wireless communication unit 140i for direct wireless communication with other terminals without going through the network 150, and an audio input/output unit 140j such as a microphone or speaker, which are connected to each other via a bus. The communication method used by the short-range wireless communication unit 140i is not particularly limited as long as it is a method for performing wireless communication over a relatively short distance, but various well-known methods such as Bluetooth and wireless LAN can be used.

As the user terminal 140, it is possible to use a notebook PC, tablet, or other device other than a smartphone, as long as it is equipped with a CPU calculation processing unit and has information processing and network communication functions.

2. Processing Operation
Next, a description will be given of the processing operation of the imaging system according to the present embodiment shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a sequence diagram showing the processing operation by the imaging system.

When the photographing device 110 starts processing, it first presents a layout selection screen to the user (step S1). FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the layout selection screen. As shown in FIG. 7, layouts corresponding to each photo type are displayed on the display device 110f. The example in FIG. 7 shows four layout patterns. In the layout in FIG. 7(a), a total of eight sections, four in the upper row and four in the lower row, are all of the same size. In the layout in FIG. 7(b), a total of six sections, two large sections in the upper row and four small sections in the lower row, are provided. In the layout in FIG. 7(c), a total of six sections, three in the upper row and three in the lower row, are all of the same size. In the layout in FIG. 7(d), two sections are provided with the same size.

Each section of each layout is sized to suit the intended use of the photo. There are various intended uses, such as resumes, various types of driver's licenses, passports, and My Number. There are also some layouts for which no intended use is specified. In step S1, multiple layouts, including the four types shown in Figure 7, are displayed for selection.

The user selects the desired layout from this screen. Typically, the layout corresponds to the intended use, so the user will select a layout that matches the intended use. For example, if the display device 110f and the instruction input unit 110d are implemented as a touch panel, the user selects the desired layout displayed on the display device 110f by touching it with a finger.

When the layout is selected by the touch panel that realizes the instruction input unit 110d, the photographing device 110 presents the layout of the selected photo type (step S2). On this screen, each section in the layout can be selected. For example, assume that the layout shown in FIG. 7(a) is selected by the user. Then, the photographing device 110 displays the layout shown in FIG. 7(a) on the screen of the display device 110f. In this state, the user touches the touch panel to select a section for placing the access information. The user does not need to select any section for placing the access information. However, all sections cannot be selected as sections for placing the access information. This is because it is necessary to place at least one photographed image. For example, if there are eight sections as in the layout shown in FIG. 7(a), 0 to 7 sections can be selected as sections for placing the access information.

Figure 8 is a diagram showing the state in which a section for placing access information has been selected. In Figure 8, the section with a thick frame indicates the section selected as the section for placing access information. Figure 8(a) shows an example in which each section has been individually selected by the user. In the example of Figure 8(a), two sections have been selected as the section for placing access information. Therefore, the remaining six sections are sections in which captured images will be placed.

As mentioned above, some layouts are determined according to the purpose of use. In some cases, the upper and lower sections have different purposes of use. For example, the upper section may be used for passport photos and the lower section for other identification photos. To accommodate such cases, the photographing device 110 allows multiple sections to be selected at once according to the purpose of use. In this case, the photographing device 110 displays the layout as shown in FIG. 7(a) and the selection buttons for the upper and lower sections on the display device 110f.

When the user operates a selection button on the touch panel, the image capture device 110 collectively identifies the group of sections corresponding to the selection button as sections for placing access information. For example, if the captured image to be used for usage purpose A is in the upper row and the captured image to be used for usage purpose B is in the lower row, when the user selects the button corresponding to usage purpose A, the image capture device 110 collectively identifies the group of sections in the lower row as sections for placing access information, as shown in FIG. 8(b).

Once a section is selected, the image capture device 110 determines the selected section as the section for placing the access information. Conversely, the user may be prompted to select a section for placing the captured image, and the unselected section may be determined as the section for placing the access information.

When the user gives an instruction to the effect that the selection is complete, the billing processing means 115 in the photographing device 110 calculates the fee to be charged to the user (step S3). Various rules for calculating the fee can be adopted. For example, the amount may be reduced from the regular fee for placing photographed images in all sections in proportion to the number of sections for placing access information. In this way, the fee to be charged is calculated based on the calculation rules determined in advance.

Then, the photographing device 110 displays the calculated amount on the screen of the display device 110f. At this time, a message urging the user to pay the amount is also displayed on the screen. The user then pays the amount to the photographing device 110. The billing processing means 115 then performs the billing process (step S4). Specifically, when paying with cash such as bills or coins, the user inserts the cash into a cash insertion mechanism (not shown). The billing processing means 115 then performs the billing process according to the result. When paying with a credit card, electronic money, or other cashless payment, the user follows the instructions displayed on the screen of the display device 110f to have the photographing device 110 read the screen of the card or smartphone, and the billing processing means 115 uses the read information to perform the billing process.

After the billing process is completed, the photographing device 110 photographs the user's face (step S5). Specifically, the photographing means 112 photographs the user's face to obtain a photographed image. The photographing device 110 then transmits the obtained photographed image to the management server 120 (step S6). At this time, the position information of the photographing device 110 and the section selection information are also transmitted. For example, the latitude and longitude information of the location where the photographing device 110 is installed can be used as the position information of the photographing device 110. The section selection information is information indicating which section has been selected as the section for placing the photographed image and which section has been selected as the section for placing the access information. Only the number of sections for placing the access information may be used as the section selection information.

The management server 120 receives the captured image from the imaging device 110. Then, in the management server 120, the user attribute acquisition means 122 acquires user attributes from the captured image (step S7). Specifically, the captured image acquired from the imaging device 110 is analyzed to acquire user attributes. As described above, the user attribute acquisition means 122 uses a known face recognition technology as a technology for analyzing captured images. In this embodiment, the user attribute acquisition means 122 executes processing using an algorithm of the face recognition technology. As a result, the user attribute acquisition means 122 acquires user attributes such as the user's age, sex, and race.

Then, the management server 120 acquires access information using the acquired user attributes (step S8). Specifically, the access information acquisition means 123 acquires the corresponding access information by referring to the access information storage means 121 with the user attributes acquired by the user attribute acquisition means 122. The access information acquisition means 123 first identifies the number of sections for placing the access information by referring to the section selection information acquired from the imaging device 110. Then, it acquires the same number of access information as the number of sections for placing the access information.

Specifically, the user attributes acquired by the user attribute acquisition means 122 and the user attributes stored in the access information storage means 121 are acquired in order of the degree of match. The conditions for determining when to increase the degree of match can be set appropriately. For example, a match may be determined only if all items such as age, sex, race, etc. are met, or only if any one of the items is met.

A score is then calculated for the degree of match, and the same number of two-dimensional codes as the number of sections in which the access information is placed are extracted as access information in descending order of score. When obtaining the access information in step S8, location information and purpose of use obtained from the camera device 110 may also be used. In this case, for advertisements for which area information is recorded, if the location information of the camera device 110 is outside the target area, the advertisement is excluded from extraction. Also, for advertisements for which a purpose of use is recorded, if the purpose of use obtained from the camera device 110 differs from the recorded purpose of use, the advertisement is excluded from extraction.

Next, the management server 120 transmits the access information to the image capture device 110 (step S9). Specifically, the management server 120 transmits each piece of acquired access information to the image capture device 110 that is the source of the captured image.

The photographing device 110 receives the access information from the management server 120. Then, the image arrangement means 113 arranges the photographed image and the access information (step S10). Specifically, the image arrangement means 113 arranges the photographed image in a section of the layout that has been identified as a section for arranging the photographed image, and arranges the access information in a section that has been identified as a section for arranging the access information. As a result, a layout image is obtained in which either the photographed image or the access information is arranged in all sections.

Then, the photographing device 110 presents a layout image (step S11). Specifically, the layout image is displayed on the display device 110f. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a layout image. For example, when a section is selected as shown in FIG. 8(b), a layout image as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed. The example of FIG. 9 shows a state in which photographed images are arranged in each section in the upper row, and two-dimensional codes, which are an example of access information, are arranged in each section in the lower row. At this time, a button (not shown) for selecting an output format is displayed on the display device 110f. In this embodiment, the layout image can be output in two formats: data output and print output.

Then, the photographing device 110 outputs the layout image (step S12). Specifically, the layout image output means outputs the layout image. The layout image is output in a format selected by the user. For example, if the user selects data output, the layout image is output from the communication unit 110g to the user terminal 140 via the network. In the user terminal 140, the photographed image arranged in the received layout image can be used as an identification photograph, etc.

If the user selects print output, the layout image is printed by the printer 110e and output on paper media. The user can cut out the captured image placed in the printed layout image and use it as a passport photo, etc.

Next, the user terminal 140 acquires access information, but the processing differs depending on the output mode of the layout image. When the layout image is output by data output, the user terminal 140 transmits the layout image to the user terminal 140 (step S13). The user terminal 140 then acquires the layout image as data. In this case, when the user selects access information included in a section of the received layout image, the user terminal 140 analyzes the two-dimensional code that is the selected access information and acquires the recording information.

On the other hand, when the layout image is output by print output, the layout image is printed on a paper medium and output. In this case, the user uses the camera function of the user terminal 140 to photograph the access information printed on the paper medium. The user terminal 140 photographs the code information using the photographing function to obtain the access information as an image (step S14). The access information in this image is then analyzed to obtain the record information.

The recorded information acquired from the two-dimensional code, which is the access information, contains the URL of the advertising server 130. Therefore, the user terminal 140 accesses the advertising server 130 identified by the acquired URL (step S15). In response to the request, the advertising server 130 transmits the advertising information it holds to the user terminal 140 that is the access source (step S16).

Although the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure has been described above, the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiment and various modifications are possible. For example, in the photography system according to the above embodiment, the photography device 110 and the management server 120 perform processing while communicating with each other, but the photography device 110 may be equipped with the means that the management server 120 has, and processing may be performed within the photography device 110 without communication.

In addition, in the photography system according to the above embodiment, the user's attributes are analyzed using the photographed images to be arranged as layout images and provided to the user, but the user's attributes may be analyzed before photographing is officially started using the image of the user obtained from the photography device before obtaining the photographed images to be provided to the user.

In addition, in the photography system according to the above embodiment, the billing processing means performs the billing process before the photography means photographs the user's face and acquires the photographed image, but the billing process may be performed after the user's face is photographed. As long as the number of sections in which the access information is to be placed is determined, the billing process may be performed at any time.
