Printer 351 also cuts sticker paper 363 with the image printed thereon at a predetermined cutting position with cutter 362 and discharges it to a sticker paper outlet. As the print medium, various media other than sticker paper that can be printed with photos can be used.

[0078] <Example of functional configuration> Fig. 8 is a block diagram showing an example of a functional configuration of the photo sticker creating device 1. At least a part of the functional units shown in Fig. 8 is realized by the CPU 311 executing a predetermined program.

[0079] A control unit 401 is realized in the photo sticker creating device 1. The control unit 401 is made up of a pre-selection processing unit 411, a photography processing unit 412, an edit processing unit 413, a print processing unit 414, and a transmission processing unit 415.

[0080] The pre-selection processing unit 411 executes pre-selection processing by controlling each unit of the pre-selection unit 302. The pre-selection processing selects the number of users, the photography course, etc. Information indicating the selection contents by the user is supplied to the photography processing unit 412.

[0081] The photographing processing unit 412 performs photographing processing by controlling each unit of the photographing unit 304. In the photographing processing, for example, photographing courses are changed and multiple photographed images, such as six photographed images, are photographed. Photographing parameters and flash light parameters during photographing are changed for each photographing course, so that photographed images with different impressions are photographed according to the photographing course.

[0082] The shooting processing unit 412 outputs data of a plurality of shot images obtained by performing shooting processing to the editing processing unit 413. The shot image data output from the shooting processing unit 412 is supplied to each unit of the editing processing unit 413.

[0083] The edit processing unit 413 is composed of a display control unit 421 , a sticker-only image generating unit 422 , and a mobile-only image generating unit 423 .

[0084] The edit processing unit 413 performs edit processing by controlling each unit of the edit unit 305. The edit processing includes editing of captured images, printing of images on sticker paper, and transmission of images to an image management server, which is an external device.

[0085] The editing process of a photographed image is a process of applying image processing to the photographed image to be edited that corresponds to an editing operation performed using a tool selected by a user from tools prepared in advance, such as a pen tool, a stamp tool, etc. By using the pen tool or the stamp tool, a pen image or a stamp image as an image to be combined is combined with the photographed image to be edited.

[0086] Tools used in editing include not only tools for applying image processing to a portion of the photographed image to be edited, but also filter tools for applying image processing to the entire photographed image to be edited, etc. The user selects a preferred tool and selects the position on the photographed image to be edited where the image processing is to be applied, thereby proceeding with the editing of the photographed image.

[0087] In this way, the user performs the editing work of the captured image as if he or she were doodling on the captured image using the touch pen 132. Hereinafter, the editing work will be referred to as "doodling" where appropriate.

[0088] As graffiti realized by the editing processing unit 413, two types of graffiti are prepared: graffiti exclusively for stickers and graffiti exclusively for mobile phones.

[0089] The sticker-only graffiti is graffiti for creating an image to be printed on sticker paper. An image doodled with the sticker-only graffiti is used for printing on sticker paper. In other words, an image doodled with the sticker-only graffiti is an image for printing only.

[0090] On the other hand, the mobile phone-only graffiti is graffiti for creating an image to be sent to the image management server. An image that has been graffitied using the mobile phone-only graffiti is used to send to the image management server. In other words, an image that has been graffitied using the mobile phone-only graffiti is an image for transmission only.

[0091] Note that "print only" indicates that the image is intended for printing out of the two uses, printing out and sending out. "Send only" indicates that the image is intended for printing out of the two uses, printing out and sending out. Images intended for printing out are not used for sending to an image server, and images intended for sending out are not used for printing on sticker paper. In other words, images intended for printing out and images intended for sending out may be used for purposes other than the two uses, printing out and sending out, such as for display on the screen of the tablet built-in monitor 131.

[0092] As described above, the images transmitted to the image management server can be viewed or downloaded by the user on a mobile device such as a smartphone after the user has finished playing the game on the photo sticker creation device 1.

[0093] The sticker-only graffiti and the mobile-only graffiti are performed using different graffiti screens, that is, a sticker-only graffiti screen and a mobile-only graffiti screen, respectively. The details of each graffiti screen will be described later.

[0094] The display control unit 421 of the edit processing unit 413 displays various screens including a sticker-only doodling screen and a mobile phone-only doodling screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131. The display control unit 421 controls the display of the screen in response to a user's operation.

[0095] The sticker-only image generating unit 422 performs image processing on the photographed image of the doodle target in response to a user's operation on the sticker-only graffiti screen, and generates a sticker-only image. The sticker-only image is an image that has been doodled with sticker-only graffiti and is only for printing. The sticker-only image generating unit 422 outputs the sticker-only image generated by performing image processing to the print processing unit 414.

[0096] The mobile-only image generating unit 423 performs image processing on the photographed image of the doodle target in response to a user's operation on the mobile-only doodle screen to generate a mobile-only image. The mobile-only image is an image for transmission only on which doodles have been applied using mobile-only doodles. The mobile-only image generating unit 423 outputs the mobile-only image generated by performing image processing to the transmission processing unit 415.

[0097] The print processing unit 414 outputs the print data to the printer 351, and causes the printer 351 to print the sticker-specific image on the sticker paper.

[0098] The transmission processing unit 415 controls the communication unit 317 to communicate with the image management server, and transmits (uploads) the portable image to the image management server.

[0099] <<How the photo sticker creation device works>> <Photo sticker creation game> Now, with reference to the flow chart of FIG. 9, the operation of the photograph sticker creating device 1 that provides the photograph sticker creating game will be described.

[0100] In step S1, the pre-selection processing unit 411 determines whether or not a predetermined amount of coins has been inserted, and waits until it is determined that coins have been inserted.

[0101] If it is determined in step S1 that a coin has been inserted, in step S2, the pre-selection processing unit 411 performs a pre-selection process including selection of the number of users, selection of a photography course, and the like.

[0102] In step S3, the photography processing unit 412 controls the photography unit 304 to perform photography processing. Specifically, the photography processing unit 412 displays a live view of the moving image captured by the camera 91 on the touch panel monitor 92. The photography processing unit 412 also photographs the user in the photography space A1 as a subject and generates a photographed image.

[0103] For example, a close-up image that shows the user's face and upper body and a full-body image that shows the user's whole body are captured. When a plurality of captured images including the close-up image and the full-body image have been captured, the image capturing process ends.

[0104] In step S4, the editing processing unit 413 performs editing processing by controlling the editing unit 305 corresponding to either the editing space A2-1 or the editing space A2-2, whichever is the destination of the user who has completed the shooting processing.

[0105] <Editing process details> Next, the editing process performed in step S4 in FIG. 9 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

[0106] In step S11, the display control unit 421 of the edit processing unit 413 causes the tablet built-in monitor 131 to display an address input screen.

[0107] The address input screen is a screen used for inputting a user's email address. The address input screen displays a software keyboard and the like and is used for inputting an email address.

[0108] The email address entered here is uploaded to the image management server together with the mobile image, and is used to notify the user of the URL where the mobile image is saved by email from the image management server. For example, the user can display the mobile image created in the game of the photo sticker creation device 1 on the screen of the mobile terminal by tapping the URL notified by email.

[0109] In step S12, the display control section 421 displays a sticker doodling image selection screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131. The sticker doodling image is a captured image used for sticker-specific doodling.

[0110] By using the image selection screen for sticker doodles, a predetermined number of photographed images are selected as images for sticker doodles from among the multiple photographed images obtained by the photographing process.

[0111] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a display example of the sticker doodle image selection screen.

[0112] On the sticker graffiti image selection screen, the photographed images P1 to P6 representing the six photographed images obtained by the photographing process are displayed side by side. The two people appearing in the photographed images P1 to P6 are the two users playing the game of the photo sticker creation device 1.

[0113] A message is displayed above the photographed images P1 to P6 to guide the user to select two photographed images as images for sticker doodles. In this example, it is possible to select two photographed images from the six photographed images as images for sticker doodles.

[0114] Each of the photographed images P1 to P6 is displayed with a border of an outline image P11, which is an image of a predetermined design including characters such as the model name of the photo sticker creation device 1. The border image is included in the sticker-specific image created by the sticker-specific graffiti. The combination of the photographed images P1 to P6 and the border image P11 represents the image of the sticker paper that the user can finally obtain.

[0115] A user presses a predetermined image using the touch pen 132 to select an image for doodling on a sticker. In the example of Fig. 11, a user standing on the left side facing the tablet built-in monitor 131 selects a photographed image P3, and a user standing on the right side selects a photographed image P5. The photographed images P3 and P5 are displayed grayed out together with their respective border images P11. For example, when the confirm button is pressed with two users each selecting one photographed image, the selection of images for doodling on a sticker is completed.

[0116] When the selection of the image for sticker graffiti is completed, in step S13 of Fig. 10, the display control unit 421 displays a sticker-only graffiti screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131. That is, in this example, of the two types of graffiti, sticker-only graffiti and mobile-only graffiti, sticker-only graffiti is displayed first.

[0117] FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a display example of the sticker-only doodling screen.

[0118] A flow display showing the progress of the game is provided at the top of the sticker-only graffiti screen. In the example of Fig. 12, the words "sticker graffiti" are highlighted with an underline and symbols, which shows that the current situation is the sticker-only graffiti situation. The flow display allows the user to understand the flow of the game and the current situation during the editing process.

[0119] A graffiti input area 511L is formed on the left side of the sticker-only graffiti screen, and a graffiti input area 511R is formed on the right side. Graffiti input areas 511L and 511R are areas in which a photographed image selected as an image for sticker graffiti is displayed as a target for graffiti.

[0120] 12, a captured image P3 selected by a user standing on the left side as an image for a sticker doodle is displayed in doodle input area 511L. Also, a captured image P5 selected by a user standing on the right side as an image for a sticker doodle is displayed in doodle input area 511R.

[0121] A user standing on the left side will doodle on captured image P3 displayed in doodle input area 511L, and a user standing on the right side will doodle on captured image P5 displayed in doodle input area 511R.

[0122] To the right of doodle input area 511L, there is formed tool area 512L in which a button to be pressed when selecting an eraser tool, a button to be pressed when resetting (initializing) doodles, and the like are arranged.

[0123] On the left side of graffiti input area 511L, semicircular tool tabs 513-1L to 513-5L, which are pressed to select various tools (doodle tools), are displayed along the left edge of the screen.

[0124] Tool tab 513-1L is a tab that is pressed when selecting a filter tool, and tool tab 513-2L is a tab that is pressed when selecting a pen tool. Tool tab 513-3L is a tab that is pressed when selecting a stamp tool, and tool tab 513-4L is a tab that is pressed when selecting a texture tool. Tool tab 513-5L is a tab that is pressed when selecting a seal color tool. For example, the seal color tool is used when selecting a design for a border image.

[0125] Meanwhile, on the left side of doodle input area 511R, there is provided a tool area 512R in which the same buttons as those displayed in tool area 512L are arranged. In addition, on the right side of doodle input area 511R, semicircular tool tabs 513-1R to 513-5R having the same functions as tool tabs 513-1L to 513-5L are arranged along the right edge of the screen.

[0126] On the sticker-only doodling screen, at least tool tabs 513-1L to 513-5L and tool tabs 513-1R to 513-5R, which are pressed as buttons when selecting various tools, are displayed symmetrically on the left and right ends of the screen.

[0127] For example, if a user standing on the left side presses tool tab 513-3L and a user standing on the right side presses tool tab 513-2R, the respective tabs will be displayed extending toward the center of the screen, as shown in FIG.

[0128] A plurality of buttons each representing a different stamp image are displayed side by side in tool tab 513-3L, which is a horizontal strip and displayed superimposed on graffiti input area 511L. When a specific button displayed in tool tab 513-3L is pressed, the stamp tool is selected, and the display of tool tab 513-3L returns to the state shown in FIG.

[0129] Meanwhile, a horizontally long band-like tool tab 513-2R displayed over doodle input area 511R displays a number of buttons, each representing a different pen image, side by side. When a specific button displayed in tool tab 513-2R is pressed, the pen tool is selected, and the display of tool tab 513-2R returns to the state shown in FIG.

[0130] Similarly, when another tab is pressed, the pressed tab extends toward the center of the screen, and multiple buttons are displayed on the extended tab.

[0131] In this way, by making the button used to select a tool appear only when the tab is pressed, display control unit 421 is able to display scribble input areas 511L, 511R in a large size.

[0132] By displaying the doodle input areas 511L and 511R large, each user can carefully doodle on the one photographed image that he or she selected as the image for sticker doodle, paying attention to even the smallest details. Also, since there is only one image for sticker doodle, the user can concentrate on that one image when doodling.

[0133] A plurality of photographed images may be selected as images for doodling on stickers. In this case, thumbnail images used to select photographed images to doodling on are displayed, for example, in the center of the sticker-only screen, in the same manner as in the mobile-only doodling screen described later with reference to Fig. 18, etc. In response to the selection of a thumbnail image, the photographed image to doodling on is switched.

[0134] FIG. 14 is an enlarged view of the display of graffiti input area 511L.

[0135] In the graffiti input area 511L, the photographed image P3 selected as the image for the sticker graffiti is displayed in a state where it is bordered by an edge image P11 which is an image of a predetermined design including characters such as the model name of the photo sticker creation device 1. As described with reference to Fig. 11, the image for stickers created by the sticker graffiti also includes an edge image showing the design of the edge of the sticker paper.

[0136] In this way, in doodle input area 511L, which is the input destination for sticker-specific doodles, photographed image P3 is displayed together with border image P11, which represents the border design of the sticker paper, which is the print medium. Since the photographed image is displayed as printed on the sticker paper, the user can doodle while imagining the finished product. Note that the display in doodle input area 511R is similar, except that the photographed image on which the doodle is to be doodled is different.

[0137] FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of input of graffiti.

[0138] For example, when a stamp tool is selected as described with reference to Figure 13 etc., and an input position is specified in graffiti input area 511L, a stamp image is composited with the captured image displayed in graffiti input area 511L, as shown in Figure 15.

[0139] 15, a stamp image 521 is superimposed on the user appearing on the left side, and a stamp image 522 is superimposed on the user appearing on the right side. Also, a stamp image 523 with a heart pattern is superimposed so as to straddle the photographed image P3 and the border image P11.

[0140] In this way, the entire graffiti input area 511L is the target for inputting graffiti. The user can input graffiti not only on the photographed image P3 on which the graffiti is to be written, but also on the border image P11 displayed around the photographed image P3. Using such a display, graffiti can be written for stickers.

[0141] 10, the sticker-only image generating unit 422 performs image processing on the photographed image of the graffiti target in response to an operation by the user to generate a sticker-only image. For example, when a preset time limit has elapsed, the sticker-only graffiti ends.

[0142] When the sticker-only doodling is completed, in step S15, the display control section 421 causes the tablet built-in monitor 131 to display a sticker layout selection screen.

[0143] The sticker layout selection screen is a screen used to select a sticker layout. The sticker layout is a layout (arrangement pattern) that defines the position and size of the captured image to be placed on the sticker sheet, and the overall design of the sticker sheet.

[0144] FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of a sticker layout selection screen.

[0145] On the left side of the sticker layout selection screen, images P101 and P102 are displayed, which represent images that have already been doodled. Images P101 and P102 are images that represent sticker-only images created by the sticker-only doodle. Images P101 and P102 also display stamp images and the like that have been input by the sticker-only doodle.

[0146] On the right side of the sticker layout selection screen, images P111 to P114 are displayed, which show images in which two photographed images selected as sticker doodling images are arranged in a predetermined arrangement. For example, image P111 shows a layout in which two photographed images selected as sticker doodling images are printed on one sticker paper. Note that the photographed images constituting images P111 to P114 do not reflect the doodling input by the sticker doodling function.

[0147] In the example of Fig. 16, two types of sticker layouts to be actually printed can be selected from six types of sticker layouts. For example, if two users each select one type of sticker layout and then press the confirm button, the selection of sticker layouts is completed.

[0148] When the selection of the sticker layout is completed, in step S16 of FIG. 10, the print processing unit 414 starts printing the sticker-specific image.

[0149] After the printing of the sticker-only image is started, in step S17, the display control unit 421 displays the mobile-only graffiti screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131. That is, while the printing of the sticker-only image is being performed, the user starts the mobile-only graffiti.

[0150] Note that the selection of the photographed image to be used for the graffiti, as in the case of sticker-only graffiti, is not performed before the mobile-only graffiti. The mobile-only graffiti is performed on all six photographed images obtained by the photographing process.

[0151] FIG. 17 is a diagram showing a state at the start of displaying the mobile phone-specific graffiti screen.

[0152] In the flow display provided at the top of the mobile phone-only graffiti screen, the words "Mobile phone graffiti" are highlighted, thereby indicating that the current situation is the mobile phone-only graffiti situation.

[0153] When the mobile phone-only graffiti screen starts to be displayed, the photographed images on which graffiti has been applied using the sticker-only graffiti input area 551L formed on the left side of the screen and the graffiti input area 551R formed on the right side of the screen are displayed. In the example of Fig. 17, the photographed images P3 and P5 on which graffiti has been applied and which have been selected as images for sticker graffiti are displayed.

[0154] Also, a button used to select sticker graffiti on / off is displayed in speech bubble 561L on the left side of graffiti input area 551L. Similarly, a button used to select sticker graffiti on / off is displayed in speech bubble 561R on the right side of graffiti input area 551R. A message instructing the user to select whether or not to leave the sticker-only graffiti is displayed in speech bubbles 561L and 561R.

[0155] That is, the contents of the sticker-only graffiti can be reflected in the mobile-only graffiti. When the sticker graffiti on is selected, the mobile-only graffiti is started in a state where the same graffiti as the contents of the sticker-only graffiti is input to the same photographed image as the photographed image used for the sticker-only graffiti. The mobile-only image generating unit 423 performs image processing on one photographed image used for the sticker-only graffiti out of the six photographed images to be graffitied, and generates a mobile-only image on which the same graffiti as the contents of the sticker-only graffiti is applied.

[0156] As described above, in the sticker-only graffiti, it is possible to input graffiti in the entire area of ​​the photographed image and the border image displayed in the graffiti input area. When the sticker graffiti on is selected, for example, only the graffiti of the same content as the graffiti input on the photographed image is reflected in the photographed image and the border image. The content of the graffiti input on the border image may also be reflected.

[0157] After the sticker graffiti on / off is selected, the display of the mobile-only graffiti screen switches to the display shown in FIG.

[0158] 18, the mobile-only doodle screen is basically configured by providing each display symmetrically on either side of the central thumbnail display area 553. The left area is used by a user standing on the left side facing the tablet built-in monitor 131. The right area is used by a user standing on the right side facing the tablet built-in monitor 131.

[0159] It should be noted that the rectangular dashed lines surrounding each area on the mobile-specific doodling screen shown in FIG. 18 are not actually displayed on the screen.

[0160] A thumbnail display area 553 provided in the center of the mobile-only graffiti screen is a display area for thumbnail images representing captured images. The user uses the thumbnail images displayed in the thumbnail display area 553 to select a captured image on which to doodle.

[0161] Thumbnail images representing six captured images are displayed side by side in the thumbnail display area 553. In the example of Fig. 18, the upper left thumbnail image is selected by a user standing on the left, and the upper right thumbnail image is selected by a user standing on the right. The upper left thumbnail image represents the first captured image P1, and the upper right thumbnail image represents the fourth captured image P4.

[0162] A doodle input area 551L is provided in approximately the center of the left area. Doodle input area 551L is a display area for a captured image that is selected using a thumbnail image and is to be doodled on. A user can select a tool using touch pen 132A and edit captured image P1 displayed in doodle input area 551L.

[0163] 18, only the photographed image of the doodling target is displayed in doodling input area 551L of the mobile-only doodling screen. That is, unlike the sticker-only doodling screen, the photographed image of the doodling target is displayed without a border image.

[0164] On the right side of doodle input area 551L, there is provided tool area 552L in which a button to be pressed when selecting an eraser tool, a button to be pressed when resetting doodle, and the like are arranged.

[0165] A palette area 554L is provided below graffiti input area 551L. Palette area 554L is an area in which buttons and the like used to select various tools to be combined with the captured image displayed in graffiti input area 551L are displayed.

[0166] To the right of palette area 554L is provided tab area 555, which is an area displaying tabs used to select tool categories. The user can use these tabs to switch the tools displayed in palette area 554L.

[0167] Status image 556L showing the printing status of the sticker-specific image is displayed to the left of doodle input area 551L. The display of status image 556L changes so that the sticker-specific image gradually appears depending on the printing status of the sticker-specific image, for example.

[0168] On the status image 556L, information on the progress of printing the sticker-specific image is displayed as "xx%." For example, when printing of the sticker-specific image is completed, the progress is displayed as 100%.

[0169] FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of a sticker sheet on which a sticker-specific image is printed.

[0170] When printing of the sticker-specific image is completed, sticker paper s1 and sticker paper s2 with the sticker-specific image printed thereon as shown in Fig. 19 are discharged to sticker paper outlet 133 (Fig. 6). The image printed on sticker paper s1 is an image generated as a sticker-specific image by combining doodled captured image P3 and border image P11. The image printed on sticker paper s2 is an image generated as a sticker-specific image by combining doodled captured image P5 and border image P11.

[0171] The user takes out the sticker sheets s1 and s2 from the sticker sheet outlet 133 and continues doodling on the mobile device.

[0172] Returning to the explanation of Fig. 18, the user performs mobile phone-specific doodling on each of the six captured images using a mobile phone-specific doodling screen having a screen configuration different from that of the sticker-specific doodling screen described above. At least some of the tools provided on the sticker-specific doodling screen and those provided on the mobile phone-specific doodling screen are different.

[0173] In addition, in the right-hand area used by a user standing on the right side facing the tablet built-in monitor 131, the same configuration as that of the left-hand area described above is arranged in a symmetrical position.

[0174] In step S18 of Fig. 10, the mobile phone-only image generating unit 423 performs image processing on the photographed image to be graffitied in response to an operation by the user, and generates a mobile phone-only image. For example, when a preset time limit has elapsed, the mobile phone-only graffiti ends. Since there are many photographed images to be graffitied, the time limit for the mobile phone-only graffiti is set to be longer than the time limit for the sticker-only graffiti.

[0175] When the mobile-only graffiti is finished, in step S19, the display control unit 421 displays an image selection screen on the tablet built-in monitor 131. The image selection screen displayed here is a screen used to select one mobile-only image from among the six mobile-only images on which the mobile-only graffiti has been applied.

[0176] Of the six mobile-only images uploaded to the image management server, one selected using the image selection screen is provided to the user who is a free member. The image provision service provided by the image management server is a membership-based service that allows users to view images on their mobile terminals and download images to their mobile terminals.

[0177] A free member can view one mobile phone image, while a paid member can view all mobile phone images.

[0178] When the selection of the portable image is completed, in step S20, the transmission processing unit 415 transmits the portable image to the image management server.

[0179] FIG. 20 is a diagram showing an example of information uploaded from the photograph sticker creating device 1. As shown in FIG.

[0180] As shown in Fig. 20, management information is added to the image files of the six mobile-only images and then uploaded. The management information is information that is generated in the photo sticker creating device 1 in order to manage the uploaded images, and is transmitted to the image management server 601. In the image management server 601, the uploaded images are managed in association with each piece of information included in the management information.

[0181] The management information includes a sticker ID, an image selection flag, and an email address.

[0182] The sticker ID is an ID issued by the photo sticker creating device 1 in accordance with a predetermined rule for each game. For example, the sticker ID is notified to the user in a form printed on the edge of sticker paper on which a sticker-specific image is printed. When a user of a mobile terminal who has performed a login operation to the image providing service (a user who has played a game on the photo sticker creating device 1) looks at the edge of the sticker paper and enters the sticker ID, the image created by the user in the game is identified in the image management server 601. In this way, the sticker ID is used to identify images created by each user.

[0183] The image selection flag is a flag that indicates a mobile-only image selected by the user during the game using the image selection screen.

[0184] The email address is the email address entered by the user during the game.

[0185] A photo creation game consisting of a series of processes as described above is provided to each group of users of the photo sticker creating device 1.

[0186] Through the above series of processes, the user can use the different doodling screens to perform doodling for stickers and doodling for mobile phones, and create doodling images suited to each purpose.

[0187] By providing a doodling screen for each purpose, the user can intuitively understand what to do using each doodling screen, and can perform doodling efficiently.

[0188] If it were possible to doodle for mobile phone-only images on a sticker-only doodle screen, the structure of the doodle screen would become complicated and the operation would become unintuitive, but it is possible to prevent this from happening.

[0189] <<Modifications>> Of the two types of graffiti, the graffiti for stickers and the graffiti for mobile phones, the graffiti for stickers is performed first in the above embodiment, but the graffiti for mobile phones may be performed first.

[0190] Although the number of photographed images to be the subject of the mobile phone-only graffiti is set to be greater than the number of photographed images to be the subject of the sticker-only graffiti, the number of photographed images to be the subject of the sticker-only graffiti may be set to be greater. In this case, the time limit for the sticker-only graffiti is set to be longer than the time limit for the mobile phone-only graffiti.

[0191] The number of photographed images to be used as graffiti for stickers and the number of photographed images to be used as graffiti for mobile phones may be the same.

[0192] The above-mentioned series of processes can be executed by hardware or software. When the series of processes is executed by software, the program constituting the software is installed in a computer incorporated in dedicated hardware or a general-purpose personal computer.

[0193] The program to be installed is provided by being recorded on a removable medium 319 such as an optical disk (CD-ROM (Compact Disc-Read Only Memory), DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) or a semiconductor memory. Alternatively, the program may be provided via a wired or wireless transmission medium such as a local area network, the Internet, or digital broadcasting. The program can be installed in the ROM 312 or the storage unit 316 in advance.

[0194] The program executed by the computer may be a program in which processing is performed chronologically in the order described in this specification, or it may be a program in which processing is performed in parallel or at the required timing, such as when called. [Explanation of symbols]
