Having carried out these data of scribbling the photograph image of processing temporarily is stored in the storage part 40 respectively with the data of scribbling the photograph image before handling.

In last print processing, utilize printer 18 will be stored in the storage part 40, carried out scribbling view data after the processing and be printed on self-adhesive paper 42b and go up (S4).

Before print processing, preferably cut apart number simultaneously and set processing with print processing.The so-called number of cutting apart set to be handled, and is in print processing, sets the processing of how print media being cut apart to come print image.Cutting apart that number set to handle for example is by showing that on editor's display panel 16 number of cutting apart shown in Figure 5 sets picture, and user U utilizes felt pen 17 to select to import and realizes.In the figure, set pictures, shown and 8 cut apart, 18 cut apart, 30 cut apart and mix the split image of cutting apart that user U can select any one in these as cutting apart number.

In addition, for convenience of description, user U not only carries out the photograph taking of S2 to be handled, and carries out the coin input processing of S1, the print processing of scribbling processing, S4 of S3, but the people that each step is indicated is needed not to be same people.

(details that photograph taking is handled)

Below utilize Fig. 1, the photograph taking of S2 is handled being elaborated.Shown in the process flow diagram of this figure, the treatment scheme that the above-mentioned photograph taking of present embodiment is handled by S21～S29 constitutes, and below the content of each treatment scheme is described.The picture that Fig. 6 (a)～(c) and Fig. 7 (a)～(c) show the editor's display panel 16 in the treatment scheme respectively shows example, will carry out suitable reference in the following description.

As mentioned above, the system wait coin drops into (with reference to Fig. 6 (a)), and when confirming that coin is dropped into (S1), photograph printing system 10 receives the selection (S21) of photograph mode.For example, the picture shown in the displayed map 6 (b) on editor's display panel 16 urges user U to select photograph mode.In this figure (b),, be provided with 2 kinds of patterns such as " automatic photography " pattern and " photography of best effort chamber " pattern as photograph mode.At this moment, photograph printing system 10 by loudspeaker 21 send " Mr. selects any pattern? if shutterbugs, recommend best effort chamber photograph mode " indication sound." automatic photography " pattern is the photograph mode that has nothing to do with the present invention, so in the present embodiment, below selects the situation of " operating room's photography " pattern to describe to user U.

When user U selected " operating room's photography " pattern, photograph printing system 10 allowed a plurality of user U select the intrinsic nickname (pet name) of each user of input (S22).For example, the picture shown in the displayed map 6 (c) on editor's display panel 16 allows each user U select the input nickname.In this figure (c), show " KYU ", " OU ", " PI " etc. and amount to 6 kinds of nickname candidates.At this moment, photograph printing system 10 sends and " if you wish to call with nickname, please select a nickname of liking by loudspeaker 21.You and other people can be distinguished afterwards " indication sound.

Corresponding, user U selects the nickname of input hobby, and photograph printing system 10 is judged (detection) number (S23) as the user of photography target according to the quantity of selecteed nickname.Not only can be detected by the quantity of selecteed nickname by cameraman's number, sensor such as infrared ray sensor that also can be by other setting, body weight sensor detects.

In addition, in the above description, as the intrinsic Warning Mark of each user U, show the example of selecting nickname, but this nickname also can be by any literal of input such as software keyboard, perhaps can allow each user U select the character image liked etc. to be used as above-mentioned Warning Mark.

Then, photograph printing system 10 each user's of decision erect-position (position of being photographed) (S24).Below, comparison film print system 10 determines the method for the erect-position of each user U to describe according to the calculation function of control part 20.Fig. 8 (a) and (b) are composition examples of the erect-position of expression photograph printing system 10 decisions, in the following description with suitable reference.

The decision key element of erect-position be following 1.～3., photograph printing system 10 for example by with reference to the data of the erect-position composition of login in advance, decides the erect-position of each user U.

1. a plurality of each user U are determined different erect-positions respectively.

2. the number according to user U determines erect-position.For example, if the number of the user U that judges in S23 is 3 people, then selection is suitable for the erect-position composition (for example 3 erect-position compositions shown in the broken circle of A, the B of Fig. 8 (a), C) of the composition of 3 people photography, if and the number of the user U that judges in S23 is 2 people, then selection is suitable for the erect-position composition (for example 2 erect-position compositions shown in the broken circle of D, the E of Fig. 8 (b)) of the composition of 2 people photography.

Under the situation of 3. repeatedly photographing afterwards,, decide the erect-position of each time photography in order to make repeatedly photography state approximate equality between a plurality of user U of photography.For example, if user U is 3 people, amounts to 8 film,faults and take, then determine the erect-position of each time, make each user U alternately, and distribute erect-position, make all users minimum photography of carrying out more than 2 times on A, B, each erect-position of C in the erect-position cocycle of A, the B of Fig. 8 (a), C.On the other hand,, then for example can give each user U with D, E difference alternate allocation if user U is 2 people, and irrelevant with the number of times of photograph taking.During repeatedly photographing, if change the erect-position composition, then in order to make repeatedly photography state approximate equality between a plurality of user U of photography, erect-position decision that need be more complicated than last example.

Then, photograph printing system 10 enters the processing (S25) of test photography, image quality adjustment (brightness adjustment).At first, photograph printing system 10 passes through loudspeaker 21, send " good, at first test photography.To take 3 photos, please select the photo of liking " sound, make the brightness of Lighting Division 22 change 3 grades then, under each brightness degree, utilize photography portion 15 to take simultaneously.Fig. 7 (a) is illustrated in the figure that shows the state of photographic images on editor's display panel 16, in the photographic images shown in this figure, so-called " nature " is that the brightness settings with Lighting Division 22 is the lighting condition of standard class, the image of under the environment of the eye nose readability of the face-image that makes user U, taking, so-called " whitening ", be that the brightness settings of Lighting Division 22 is the lighting condition brighter than standard class, at the face-image that makes user U shade does not appear and the image taken under the environment that the colour of skin is whitened, so-called " shade " is to make the lighting condition that the brightness settings of Lighting Division 22 must be darker than standard class in the left and right sides unequally, and the image of taking under the environment of the obvious shade of one-sided appearance (similar under-exposure).1 of selecting to like from 3 test photographss of user U, photograph printing system 10 carries out later shooting with the brightness of the Lighting Division corresponding with selecteed image 22.

Perhaps, can be merely the lighting condition of Lighting Division 22 be set and be changed to standard setting, brighter (similar overexposure), dark (similar under-exposure).In addition, as changing the condition that photography state is used, can consider the change of shutter speed, aperture, white balance (build-in function of camera), can be the combination of these functions or change separately.

In addition, everyone carries out under the state of close-up photography at user U, for example, can respectively carry out 3 times and take.Like this, all user U can obtain the closeup photograph image of oneself.In addition, if the face-image of each user U that photograph printing system 10 will be taken under close-up condition is extracted (for example face) out; During the indication picture of later erect-position or posture shows, above-mentioned extraction image and personage are shown synthetic, then can utilize the understandable demonstration of each user U, indicate its erect-position or posture.

After test photography and image quality adjustment (brightness adjustment) end, the erect-position (S26) that photograph printing system 10 determines in above-mentioned S24 to each user U indication.At first, photograph printing system 10 passes through loudspeaker 21, send " good, now in order to take your best photo, will specify erect-position.Certainly, also may stand on the position of oneself liking " sound.Then, photograph printing system 10 sends and " will begin to have taken." KYU " stands in zero position, and " OU " stands in the position and take.Please pose " such sound indication.At this moment, preferred photograph printing system 10 is by the sound indication, suitably sends the sound of the such encouragement user U of " good ", " beautiful " to each user U.

In addition, in S26, photograph printing system 10 can carry out the indication of " " KYU " does the long live posture, and " OU " squats down slightly " etc. to the arrangement of posture.Also can be in advance as " user who is specified in the A erect-position does the long live posture ", " the user U that is specified in the B erect-position squat down posture ", the corresponding indication of carrying out posture of erect-position with indication, perhaps, as " posture left done in 00 (nicknames) ", " (nickname) does the posture of embracing wrist ", nickname and posture correspondence are indicated.Carrying out preferably when each the shooting, all changing posture under this situation that makes the nickname posture indication corresponding, make that same user is not identical posture when each the shooting with posture.

In S26, at this moment, photograph printing system 10 shows for example picture shown in Fig. 7 (b) on editor's display panel 16.In this figure (b), in the picture left side, utilize zero mark and mark to represent 2 erect-positions, on the picture right side, utilize photography portion 15 to take the appearance that a plurality of user U pose at the erect-position of appointment, and show (live image) in real time.In this figure (b), shown totally 8 star marks on picture top, wherein 5 are shown as hollow whitely, and this represents that this takes predetermined carrying out altogether 8 times, and owing to finished 3 shooting, so remaining shooting is 5 times at this moment.

In above-mentioned example, the user called U in the intrinsic nickname of photograph printing system 10 usefulness, to each user U indication erect-position and posture, but photograph printing system 10 also can come each user U indication erect-position and posture by carrying out animation display etc. for the character image of each user U to fixed allocation on editor's display panel 16.

As mentioned above, photograph printing system 10 can take with beautiful composition and shade, and the user needn't be considered camera site and posture especially by indication erect-position and posture.

Then, photograph printing system 10 judges whether all user U have been indicated erect-position (S27), if the erect-position indication of all user U is not finished, then proceeds the sound indication of S26, finishes up to the erect-position indication to all user U.

If the erect-position indication to all user U finishes, then photograph printing system 10 utilizes photography portion 15 to take (the formal shooting) (S28).At this moment, preferred photograph printing system 10 is by loudspeaker 21, sends " 3,2,1, click " and waits sound, thus to the photography timing of user U indication photography portion 15.In addition, preferred photograph printing system 10 is according to the erect-position of user U, and the switch and the exposure of control Lighting Division 22 are set best lighting condition.

In addition, when utilizing photography portion 15 to take, preferably the lighting environment to Lighting Division 22 carries out following A), B) such optimization.

A) usually the time (when for example user U determines erect-position and posture) makes Lighting Division 22 light as fluorescent light, and (the beginning back for example counts down) reduces fluorescent lamp illuminance during the several seconds before the moment.Under this state, flash in moment, through after the stipulated time, recover the illumination of fluorescent light.Like this, the brightness by during changing the several seconds before the moment, in the photographing space can make the flash of light of sending in moment make user U feel brighter, so the user can enjoy the sensation that resembles the professional model.But, cross dark and the auto-focus function of photography portion 15 is not worked for fear of lighting environment, preferably during utilizing auto-focus function to focus on (for example during 0.5 second before the moment) restores to the original state the fluorescent lamp illuminance of the Lighting Division 22 that temporary transient illumination reduces.In this case and since the user almost be feel simultaneously fluorescent lamp illuminance recovery and flash, so can be when making the auto-focus function function of photography portion 15, improve the flash effect that user U feels.Perhaps can during (before the coin input and scribble the processing) whole shooting, all reduce the illumination of fluorescent light.But, the illumination that the cartoon photographic in the time of should guaranteeing user U decision posture is used.

B) at 2 user U under the situation arranged side by side of photography portion 15 and front and back (for example situation of Fig. 8 (b)), with " 2 people's back and front formation " special-purpose photography pattern (lighting environment) the user U of rear side is carried out brighter illumination and sets.As the method for the user U of rear side being carried out brighter illumination, can consider the whole bag of tricks, the honeycomb flashlamp that for example is provided with on the top of photography portion 15 irradiation of the rear side of photographing space (appends the honeycomb grid on illumination direction, irradiation area only is limited to the Lighting Division at photographing space rear portion), only under the situation of having selected above-mentioned " 2 people's back and front formation " special-purpose photography pattern, make the luminous method of this honeycomb flashlamp etc.

After above-mentioned photographing process finished, photograph printing system 10 judged whether the shooting of regulation number (number of times) finishes (S29).In the present embodiment, because the number (number of times) of regulation is 8 (inferior),, photograph printing system 10 judges whether the photograph taking that amounts to 8 finishes so utilizing identity validation to wait.If the shooting of regulation number (number of times) does not finish, then photograph printing system 10 returns the processing of S26, carries out the indication processing and the photographing process of erect-position repeatedly.

Above-mentioned take repeatedly during, photograph printing system 10 by send " " KYU " preceding specifically, " OU " after.Good～" wait sound, user U is indicated the erect-position of the each shooting that in S24, determines.In addition, during taking repeatedly, photograph printing system 10 can be by sending sound such as " " KYU " squat down, and " OU " does the long live posture ", to the each posture of taking of user U indication.Preferred photograph printing system 10 is when each the shooting, and " it is very beautiful to throw light on by for example sending.Background has also changed " etc. sound, and the curtain of mobile background performance portion 12 changes the background when taking.

In addition, can utilize random number, (when at every turn inserting coin) randomly changing is to the order of each user U indication erect-position and posture when each recreation.In addition, can when each the shooting, be somebody's turn to do order by randomly changing, so that the order of each user U indication erect-position and posture is changed.

For user U, if unilaterally carry out the indication of erect-position and posture repeatedly, can entertain discomfort, so preferably suitably set up skip button, skip the erect-position that (omission) user U dislikes and the indication of posture.

Like this, pronunciation or personage by nickname show the indication of carrying out erect-position and posture, can avoid user U to entertain the impression of being indicated forcibly thus by machine, thus user U can with the recreation feel to move to perhaps show suitable posture in suitable position.

If photograph printing system 10 judges the shooting of regulation numbers (number of times) and finish, send by loudspeaker 21 then that " you have a long day.Please the comparison film input command, take out photo in outlet then.Necessarily taken best yourself " sound, thereby the photograph taking that finishes present embodiment is handled (S2), enters the above-mentioned processing (S3) of scribbling then.

Fig. 9 (a)～(c) is the figure of the expression image example (shooting example) utilizing photograph printing system 10 and take.In this example, user U is " A " and " B " 2 people, Fig. 9 (a) shows the shooting (corresponding with shooting for the first time) of " A " close-up condition, Fig. 9 (b) shows the shooting (corresponding with shooting for the second time) of " B " close-up condition, and Fig. 9 (c) shows shooting (corresponding with shooting for the third time) of " A " and " B " intimate state.

Enter at photograph printing system 10 and to scribble processing (S3) before, the image quality (finishing) of photographic images is adjusted in preferred indication.For example, the picture shown in the displayed map 7 (c) on editor's display panel 16 sends by loudspeaker 21 that " finishing in order to develop please be specified the photo of liking.Can specify the degree of whitening, sharp keen or soft of tone, skin " sound.User U utilizes felt pen 17, can on the picture of Fig. 7 (c), begin to indicate in order the image quality adjustment of input " tone ", " brightness ", " contrast (sharp keen or soft) ", scribble processing (S3) so can utilize the photographic images of best image quality to enter from top.

Carrying out scribbling of S3 when handling, under situation about selecting, also to consider following optimization as the image of scribbling object.That is, with the state of thumbnail image is finished in all shootings and be presented on editor's display panel 16, at user U each image is carried out at the image of being selected by pointer, sending the sound of the explanation relevant under the situation of pointer selection with the erect-position of user U.For example, if the image of having selected the user U of nickname " KYU " to take near photography portion 15, then send the sound of " closeup photograph of " KYU " ", on the other hand, if selected the user U and the image that the user U that has selected nickname " OU " takes near photography portion 15 of nickname " KYU " under state arranged side by side, then send the sound of " the intimate closeup photograph of " KYU ", " OU " ".

In addition, if on photograph printing system 10, be provided with a plurality of editor's display panels 16, then can edit on the display panel 16 and show that user U is respectively the photographic images of close-up condition, as default image at each.

In addition, photograph printing system 10 can utilize following indication in order to notify user U the remaining time during scribbling processing (S3).Shown in Figure 10 (a), on editor's display panel 16 tops 3 look indicating effect LED50 are set, when common, shown in this figure (a), indicating effect is turned off the light with LED50, and during scribbling processing (S3), shown in this figure (b), 3 coloured light lines mildly are radiated on the wall in photographic studio.During scribbling processing (S3), can be according to the remaining time, the indicating effect by changing 3 looks is made unique atmosphere with the bright lamp pattern of LED50.

In addition, photograph printing system 10 preferably making user U image occupied area on the self-adhesive paper 42b under the cutting state of approximate equality between each user U, prints above-mentioned a plurality of photographic images in print processing (S4).For example, if be under 2 people's the situation, can under image segmentation state shown in Figure 11, above-mentioned photographic images be printed on the self-adhesive paper 42b by the cameraman.In the figure, the user U " A " in the print image on the self-adhesive paper 42b, " B " both sides' closeup photograph becomes configuration (cutting state) equably.
