[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an album. The album contains a photograph of a fetus and is called a newborn photo. FIGS. 2 to 9 are diagrams showing an example of the album (newborn photo). The album (newborn photo) shown in FIGS. 2 to 9 is an example and is not limited to this embodiment. Hereinafter, the album will be referred to as a newborn photo and the description will continue.

[0013] <Newborn Photo> First, I will explain about newborn photography. As shown in FIG. 1, the newborn photo 1 includes a cover 2 and a plurality of main texts 3. The cover 2 and the main texts 3 are made of paper. As shown in FIG. 2, the cover 2 has a photo area 10 and a text area 11, and a photo of a fetus is shown in the photo area 10. The text area 11 shows the name, weight, date of birth, etc. of the fetus. In this embodiment, the name of the fetus is shown in English, which is different from Japanese, for example, "I am Sakura".

[0014] 3 to 8, each of the plurality of bodies 3 has at least one of a photograph area 10 and a text area 11. A photograph 20 of a fetus 13 is shown in the photograph area 10. In the text area 11, text is displayed as appropriate. As shown in Fig. 3, the name, weight, birthday, etc. of the fetus 13 are displayed in the text area 11 of the first page of the main text 3, similar to the cover 2. The content (text) of the text area 11 of the main text 3 of the first page may be different from that of the text area 11 of the cover 2. A photo area 10 may be set in the main text 3 of the first page, and a photo 20 including the fetus 13 may be displayed in the photo area 10.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 4, the photo area 10 of the main text 3 on the second page among the multiple main texts 3 shows a photo 20 including a fetus 13. The text area 11 of the main text 3 on the second page shows sentences and characters that give the impression that the fetus 13 in the photo 20 on the second page is an animal. In this embodiment, the text area 11 of the main text 3 on the second page shows the characters "I am a rabbit", and although the photo 20 of the main text 3 on the second page is actually a fetus 13, the characters give the impression that the fetus 13 is an animal, i.e., a rabbit. Note that the characters of the main text 3 on the second page are not limited to the above embodiment, and characters that give the impression of an animal show that it is an animal of the Chinese zodiac.

[0016] As shown in Fig. 5, the photograph area 10 of the main text 3 on the third page among the multiple main texts 3 shows a photograph 20 including a fetus 13. The photograph 20 of the main text 3 on the third page includes the fetus 13 and the hand 14 of a person different from the fetus 13. In the photograph 20 of the main text 3 on the third page, the hand 14 of a person different from the fetus 13, such as the hand 14 of the mother, father, sibling, etc., is reflected together with the fetus 13. In addition, some object (gift) 17 is attached to or being held by the hand 14 of the person different from the fetus 13.

[0017] In this embodiment, photo 20 of text 3 on page 3 includes siblings' hands 14 holding a heart and the fetus 13, thereby expressing the image of giving a gift 17 of a carrot to the fetus 13. Note that in photo 20 of text 3 on page 3, the object (gift) 17 sent to the fetus 13 is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the photo 20 may include carrots, flowers, hearts, stars, etc. as the gift 17 together with the hands 14. Predetermined characters are displayed in the text area 11 of the body 3 on the third page. In this embodiment, the text area 11 of the body 3 on the third page displays the characters "They gave me one heart each," which gives the impression that a gift 17 has been given. Note that the characters in the body 3 on the third page are not limited to those in the above embodiment.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 6, the photo area 10 of the text 3 on the fourth page among the multiple texts 3 shows a photo 20 including a fetus 13. The photo 20 of the text 3 on the fourth page includes the fetus 13 and an object 18 wrapping the fetus 13. In other words, the photo 20 of the text 3 on the fourth page is a photo 20 of the fetus 13 wrapped in the wrapping object 18. The text area 11 of the text 3 on the fourth page shows sentences and characters that give the impression that the fetus 13 in the photo 20 on the fourth page is in its mother's womb.

[0019] In this embodiment, the text area 11 of the text 3 on the fourth page displays the text "God took me into mommy's tummy," and although the photo 20 of the text 3 on the fourth page is actually a fetus 13, the text creates the image that the fetus 13 is in the mother's womb. Note that the text of the text 3 on the fourth page is not limited to the above embodiment.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 7, among the multiple main texts 3, the photo area 10 of the main text 3 on the fifth page shows a photo 20 of a fetus 13. The text area 11 of the main text 3 on the fifth page shows sentences and characters that give the impression that the fetus 13 in the photo 20 on the fifth page has been born. In this embodiment, the text area 11 of the main text 3 on the fifth page shows the characters "When I open my eyes, I see the boys from back then", which gives the impression that the fetus 13 has been born from its mother, that is, has left the womb and gone out into the outside world. Note that the characters of the main text 3 on the fifth page are not limited to the above embodiment.

[0021] As shown in Fig. 8, among the multiple main texts 3, a photo 20 of a fetus 13 and a photo 20 of the family of the fetus 13 are shown in a photo area 10 of the main text 3 on the sixth page. Characters are shown in a text area 11 of the main text 3 on the sixth page. Note that the characters of the main text 3 on the sixth page are not limited to those in the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0022] 9 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the overall structure of the newborn photo. In the newborn photo 1, for convenience of explanation, a predetermined body 3 among the multiple bodies 3 is referred to as the first body 3, a predetermined body 3 located after the first body 3 is referred to as the second body 3, a predetermined body 3 located after the second body 3 is referred to as the third body 3, and a predetermined body 3 located after the third body 3 is referred to as the fourth body 3. In other words, in the newborn photo 1, counting from the cover 2, the order from the top side is the first body 3, the second body 3, the third body 3, and the fourth body 3. Note that the first body 3, the second body 3, the third body 3, and the fourth body 3 do not have to be adjacent pages, and another body 3 may be inserted between them.

[0023] 9, in Newborn Photo 1, a photograph 20 including a fetus 13 is arranged in the main text 3 after the cover 2. If the main text 3 of the photograph 20 that first includes a fetus 13 after display is the first main text 3 (e.g., the main text 3 on the second page), Newborn Photo 1 is configured such that a photograph 20 including a hand 14 of a person other than the fetus 13 is arranged in the second main text 3 (e.g., the third page), which is the main text 3 after the first main text 3 (the main text 3 on the second page).

[0024] Newborn Photo 1 is configured such that a photograph 20 of an object 18 wrapping a fetus 13 is placed in a third body 3 (eg, the fourth page), which is a body 3 following a second body 3 (eg, the third page). Newborn Photo 1 is configured such that a photograph 20 of a fetus 13 and text indicating that the fetus 13 has been born are placed in the fourth main text 3 (e.g., page 5), which is a main text 3 that comes after the third main text 3 (e.g., page 4). Newborn Photo 1 is structured such that a photograph 20 including a fetus 13 and the family of the fetus 13 is placed in the fifth main text 3 (e.g., page 6), which is a main text 3 that comes after the fourth main text 3 (e.g., page 5).

[0025] In Newborn Photo 1, a photograph 20 of the fetus 13 is shown in the first text 3, then a photograph 20 including the hand 14 of a person other than the fetus 13 is shown in the second text 3, a photograph 20 of the fetus 13 wrapped in a swaddling material 18 is shown in the third text 3, a photograph 20 of the fetus 13 and text indicating that the fetus 13 has been born is shown in the fourth text 3, and a photograph 20 including the fetus 13 and the family of the fetus 13 is shown in the fifth text 3. Thus, Newborn Photo 1 can express the flow from when the fetus 13 is conceived until the fetus 13 is born, and can be used to leave a record of the relationship between the fetus 13 and the family, etc.

[0026] <Album creation system> Fig. 10 shows an overall view of an album creation system 50. As shown in Fig. 10, the album creation system 50 includes a calculation device 51. The calculation device 51 may be any of a personal computer, a mobile terminal (smartphone, tablet), a server, etc. In Fig. 10, the calculation device 51 is shown as an example of a personal computer.

[0027] The arithmetic device 51 includes a photo data acquisition unit 52 that acquires photo data. The arithmetic device 51 includes a photo data arrangement unit 53 that arranges the photo data acquired by the photo data acquisition unit 52 in a predetermined field. The arithmetic device 51 includes a character data arrangement unit 54 that arranges character data in a field corresponding to at least one body text 3.

[0028] Photo data acquisition unit 52, photo data arrangement unit 53 and character data arrangement unit 54 are configured by a CPU or the like, or a program stored in a CPU or the like. Arithmetic device 51 also includes a memory unit 55. Memory unit 55 is configured by a non-volatile memory or the like. Memory unit 55 stores the photo data acquired by photo data acquisition unit 52, etc.

[0029] Below, we will explain in detail photo data acquisition unit 52, photo data arrangement unit 53, and character data arrangement unit 54. Photo data acquisition unit 52, photo data arrangement unit 53, and character data arrangement unit 54 are composed of computer programs, etc. In other words, photo data acquisition unit 52, photo data arrangement unit 53, and character data arrangement unit 54 are composed of application software.

[0030] When a computer program (application software) is started, a display device (display) of the personal computer displays a screen M1 as shown in Fig. 11. Note that screen M1 is merely an example and is not limiting. Screen M1 includes a load button 70, a photo list section 71, and an editing section 72. The load button 70 is a button selected when loading a photo (photo data) 20. The photo list section 71 is a section that displays the loaded photo (photo data) 20. The editing section 72 is a section that edits the cover 2 or the body 3 of the newborn photo 1 in order to create the newborn photo 1.

[0031] The editing section 72 includes a field 73 corresponding to the cover 2 or the body 3 of the newborn photo 1. In other words, the field 73 shown on the screen M1 is an area that shows a trial version of the cover 2 or the body 3 of the newborn photo 1 on the screen M1. The cover 2 and the body 3 of the newborn photo 1 can be created by arranging a photo (photo data) 20 and text (text data) in the field 73 and printing the photo (photo data) 20 and text (text data) on the field 73.

[0032] By selecting an add button 85 in the editing section 72, a field 73 can be added, and by selecting a delete button 86, a field 73 can be deleted. The editing section 72 includes a field list section 74 that displays a list of the fields 73. That is, the field list section 74 displays reduced images of the fields 73. The field list section 74 also displays the images of the fields 73, for example, in order from the left, with the leftmost image corresponding to the cover 2 and the intermediate image corresponding to the main text 3.

[0033] Editing unit 72 includes a page display unit that indicates the number of field 73 being displayed on the screen, and a page selection unit 75 for turning pages. When the left page selection unit 75 is selected, calculation unit 51 changes the currently displayed field 73 to the previous field 73 on the leading side (the left cover 2 side), and when the right page selection unit 75 is selected, calculation unit 51 changes the currently displayed field 73 to the next field 73 on the trailing side (the right cover 2 side).

[0034] The vertical and horizontal sizes of the field 73 are set to the size of the cover 2 or the main text 3. The field 73 can be enlarged or reduced, and the photo (photo data) 20 placed in the field 73 can be viewed by enlarging or reducing it on the screen M1. The field 73 is rectangular, and includes a first arrangement section 77 for placing the photo (photo data) 20, and a second arrangement section 78 for placing text. The first arrangement section 77 corresponds to the photo area 10 of the newborn photo 1, and the second arrangement section 78 corresponds to the text area 11 of the newborn photo 1.

[0035] When the read button 70 is selected on the screen M1, the photo data acquisition unit 52 executes a process of reading photo data taken by the photographing device 60 such as a camera into the arithmetic unit 51, and acquires a plurality of pieces of photo data by storing the read photos 20 in the memory unit 55. When the arithmetic unit 51 acquires the photo data, the arithmetic unit 51 displays the acquired photos (photo data) 20 in the photo list unit 71 of the screen M1.

[0036] When the read button 70 is selected on the screen M1, the photo data acquisition unit 52 may acquire a plurality of photos (photo data) 20 by reading out photo data already stored in the storage unit 55. Alternatively, when the photographing device 60 is connected to the computing device 51 by wire or wirelessly, a program corresponding to the photo data acquisition unit 52 may be automatically started, and the photos (photo data) 20 taken by the photographing device 60 may be automatically stored in the storage unit 55, thereby acquiring a plurality of photos (photo data) 20.

[0037] The photo data arrangement unit 53 arranges the photo (photo data) 20 in the field 73. When one photo 20 is selected from the multiple photos 20 in the photo list unit 71, the photo (photo data) 20 is displayed in the field 73 currently displayed in the editing unit 72. When one of the multiple photos (photo data) 20 displayed in the photo list unit 71 is selected by the pointer 79, the photo (photo data) 20 is arranged in the first arrangement unit 77 of the field 73 currently displayed in the editing unit 72.

[0038] That is, the photo data arrangement unit 53 links the field 73 currently displayed in the editing unit 72 with the selected photo (photo data) 20, thereby arranging the photo 20 in the field 73. Character data arrangement unit 54 arranges character data in field 73 corresponding to at least one body text 3. For example, when characters or the like are input into second arrangement unit 78 of field 73 currently displayed in editing unit 72 and a confirmation button (not shown) is selected, the input characters are decided as the characters to be arranged in second arrangement unit 78 of field 73 currently displayed in editing unit 72.

[0039] That is, the character data arrangement unit 54 arranges the characters in the field 73 by linking the field 73 currently displayed in the editing unit 72 with the characters whose input has been completed. The photo data arrangement unit 53 can determine whether the photo (photo data) 20 in the field list unit 74 or the photo (photo data) 20 arranged in the field 73 includes a fetus 13 by image matching processing, image recognition processing by artificial intelligence, etc. The photo data arrangement unit 53 can determine whether the photo (photo data) 20 in the field list unit 74 or the photo (photo data) 20 arranged in the field 73 includes a fetus 13 and a hand 14 of a person different from the fetus 13 by image matching processing, image recognition processing by artificial intelligence, etc.

[0040] In addition, the photo data placement unit 53 can determine whether the photo (photo data) 20 in the field list unit 74 or the photo (photo data) 20 placed in the field 73 contains a wrapping object 18 by image matching processing or image recognition processing using artificial intelligence, etc. When arranging a photograph (photo data) 20 in a field 73, the photograph data arrangement unit 53 executes a first field process for arranging the photograph data including the fetus 13 in the first field 73 corresponding to a predetermined main text 3.

[0041] 12, if there are fields 73 corresponding to the main text 3 on pages 1 to 7, and it is determined that a photo (photo data) 20 of a fetus 13 is not placed in any of the fields 73 corresponding to pages 1 to 7, the first field process performs a process of placing photo data including a fetus 13 in any of the fields 73 on pages 1 to 7. For example, in the first field process, a message "Please place a photo including a fetus" is displayed in the message section 80 of screen M1.

[0042] Alternatively, if no photograph (photo data) 20 of the fetus 13 is placed in any of the fields 73 on pages 1 to 7, the first field processing narrows down the photographs (photo data) 20 shown in the field list section 74 to only those photographs (photo data) 20 that include the fetus 13, and displays "Please select a photograph that includes a fetus from the list" in the message section 80 of screen M1.

[0043] In the first field processing, after a message is displayed in the message section 80, if a photograph (photo data) 20 including a fetus 13 is selected from the field list section 74, placement in the field 73 (first field 73) currently displayed in the editing section 72 is completed.

[0044] In addition, if a photograph (photo data) 20 of the fetus 13 is not placed in any of the fields 73 on pages 1 to 7, the first field processing may automatically select a photograph (photo data) 20 including the fetus 13 from the photographs (photo data) 20 shown in the field list section 74, and place the automatically selected photograph (photo data) 20 including the fetus 13 in at least one of the fields 73 corresponding to the first half of the pages.

[0045] In the first field processing, when a photograph 20 including a fetus 13 is placed in the first field 73, the character data arrangement unit 54 performs processing to prompt the user to "enter characters (character data) that evoke an animal" in the second arrangement unit 78 of the first field 73. For example, when the first field 73 is displayed in the editing unit 72, a message "Please enter characters that evoke an animal" is displayed in the message unit 80 of the screen M1. When characters are entered in the second arrangement unit 78 of the first field 73, the character data arrangement unit 54 completes the arrangement of characters that evoke an animal in the first field 73.

[0046] After completing the first field process, the photo data arrangement unit 53 performs the second field process. In the second field process, a process is performed to place photo data including the fetus 13 and the hand 14 of a person other than the fetus 13 in the second field 73 corresponding to the second main text 3. As shown in Fig. 12, when the main text 3 on the second page is the first main text 3 and a photo (photo data) 20 including the fetus 13 is placed in the first field 73 corresponding to the first main text 3 (second page), in the second field process, a process is performed to place the photo 20 including the fetus 13 and the hand 14 of a person other than the fetus 13 in the field 73 of the third page and onwards.

[0047] For example, in the second field processing, a message "Please place a photo including a fetus and the hands of a person other than the fetus in the field on page 3 and onwards" is displayed in the message section 80 of the screen M1. Alternatively, in the second field processing, the photographs (photo data) 20 shown in the field list section 74 are narrowed down to only those photographs (photo data) 20 that include a fetus 13 and the hand 14 of a person other than the fetus 13, and the message section 80 of the screen M1 displays "Please select a photo from the list."

[0048] In the second field processing, after a message is displayed in the message section 80, if a photo 20 including a fetus 13 and a hand 14 of a person other than the fetus 13 is selected from the field list section 74, placement in the field 73 (second field 73) currently displayed in the editing section 72 is completed. In the second field processing, a photograph (photo data) 20 including a fetus 13 and a hand 14 of a person other than the fetus 13 may be automatically selected from the photographs (photo data) 20 shown in the field list section 74, and the automatically selected photograph (photo data) 20 may be placed in the field 73 on the third page or later.

[0049] In the second field processing described above, a photograph (photo data) 20 including a fetus 13 and a hand 14 of a person other than the fetus 13 is processed so as to be placed in the second field 73. In this case, however, as the photograph data including the human hand 14, a photograph (photo data) 20 including a hand 14 holding an object (gift) 17 and the object (gift) 17 being held may also be placed in the second field 73.

[0050] In this case, in the second field processing, the message section 80 of screen M1 displays "In field 73 on page 3 or later, please place a photo including a hand 14 holding an object (gift) 17 and the object (gift) being held." Alternatively, in the second field processing, the photographs (photo data) 20 shown in the field list section 74 are narrowed down to only photographs (photo data) 20 that include a fetus 13 and a state in which an object (gift) 17 is being held by the hand 14 of a person other than the fetus 13, and the message section 80 of screen M1 displays "Please select a photograph (photo data) from the list."

[0051] In the second field processing, after a message is displayed in the message section 80, if a photo 20 is selected from the field list section 74 that includes a fetus 13 and a person other than the fetus 13 holding an object (gift) 17 in his / her hand 14, placement in the field 73 (second field 73) currently displayed in the editing section 72 is completed. In the second field processing, a photo (photo data) 20 including a fetus 13 and a person other than the fetus 13 holding an object (gift) 17 in his / her hand 14 may be automatically selected from the photos (photo data) 20 shown in the field list section 74, and the automatically selected photo (photo data) 20 may be placed in the field 73 on the third page or later.

[0052] When the second field process is completed, the photo data placement unit 53 performs the third field process. In the third field process, photo data including the fetus 13 and the object 18 wrapping the fetus 13 is placed in the third field 73 corresponding to the third main text 3. As shown in FIG. 12, when the main text 3 on the fourth page is the second main text 3 and a photo (photo data) 20 including the fetus 13 and the hand 14 of a person different from the fetus 13 is placed in the second field 73 corresponding to the second main text 3 (fourth page), the third field process performs a process of placing the photo data including the fetus 13 and the object 18 wrapping the fetus 13 in the fields 73 on the fifth page and after. For example, in the third field process, a message "Please place a photo of the fetus and the object wrapping the fetus in the field on the fifth page and after" is displayed in the message section 80 of the screen M1.

[0053] Alternatively, in the third field processing, the photographs (photo data) 20 shown in the field list section 74 are narrowed down to only those photographs (photo data) 20 that include the fetus 13 and the object 18 wrapping the fetus 13, and a process is performed to display "Please select a photo from the list" in the message section 80 of the screen M1. In the third field processing, after a message is displayed in the message section 80, if a photograph 20 including a fetus 13 and an object 18 wrapping the fetus 13 is selected from the field list section 74, placement in the field 73 (third field 73) currently displayed in the editing section 72 is completed.

[0054] In the third field processing, a photograph (photo data) 20 including a fetus 13 and an object 18 wrapping the fetus 13 may be automatically selected from the photographs (photo data) 20 shown in the field list section 74, and the automatically selected photograph (photo data) 20 may be placed in the field 73 on the fifth page or later.

[0055] When the third field process is completed, the photo data placement unit 53 performs a fourth field process. In the fourth field process, photo data including the fetus 13 is placed in the fourth field 73 corresponding to the fourth main text 3. As shown in FIG. 12, when the main text 3 on the fifth page is the third main text 3 and a photo (photo data) 20 including the fetus 13 and an object 18 wrapping the fetus 13 is placed in the third field 73 corresponding to the third main text 3 (fifth page), the fourth field process performs a process of placing the photo data including the fetus 13 in the fields 73 on the sixth page and after. For example, in the fourth field process, a message "Please place a photo including a fetus in the field on the sixth page and after" is displayed in the message section 80 of the screen M1.

[0056] Alternatively, in the fourth field process, the photographs (photo data) 20 shown in the field list section 74 are narrowed down to only photographs (photo data) 20 that include the fetus 13, and the message section 80 of screen M1 displays "Please select a photo from the list." In the fourth field processing, after a message is displayed in the message section 80, if a photograph 20 including a fetus 13 is selected from the field list section 74, placement in the field 73 (fourth field 73) currently displayed in the editing section 72 is completed.

[0057] In the fourth field processing, a photograph (photo data) 20 including a fetus 13 may be automatically selected from the photographs (photo data) 20 shown in the field list section 74, and the automatically selected photograph (photo data) 20 may be placed in the field 73 on pages 6 and onwards.

[0058] In the fourth field process, when the photograph 20 including the fetus 13 is placed in the fourth field 73, the character data arrangement unit 54 performs a process of prompting the user to "enter characters (character data) indicating that the baby has been born" in the second arrangement unit 78 of the fourth field 73. For example, when the fourth field 73 is displayed in the editing unit 72, the message unit 80 of the screen M1 displays "Please enter characters indicating that the baby has been born." When characters are entered in the second arrangement unit 78 of the fourth field 73, the character data arrangement unit 54 completes the arrangement of the characters indicating that the baby has been born in the fourth field 73.

[0059] When the fourth field process is completed, the photo data arrangement unit 53 performs a fifth field process. In the fifth field process, photo data including the fetus 13 and the family of the fetus 13 is arranged in the fifth field 73 corresponding to the fifth main text 3. As shown in FIG. 12, when the main text 3 on the sixth page is the fourth main text 3 and a photo (photo data) 20 including the fetus 13 is arranged in the fourth field 73 corresponding to the fourth main text 3 (sixth page), the fifth field process performs a process of arranging the photo data including the fetus 13 and the family of the fetus 13 in the fields 73 on the seventh page and onwards. For example, in the fourth field process, a message "Please arrange photos including the fetus and the family of the fetus in the fields on the seventh page and onwards" is displayed in the message section 80 of the screen M1.

[0060] Alternatively, in the fifth field process, the photographs (photo data) 20 shown in the field list section 74 are narrowed down to only photographs (photo data) 20 that include the fetus 13 and the family of the fetus 13, and the message section 80 of screen M1 displays "Please select a photo from the list." In the fifth field processing, after a message is displayed in the message section 80, if a photo 20 containing the fetus 13 and the family of the fetus 13 is selected from the field list section 74, placement in the field 73 (fifth field 73) currently displayed in the editing section 72 is completed.

[0061] In the fifth field processing, a photograph (photo data) 20 including the fetus 13 and the family of the fetus 13 may be automatically selected from the photographs (photo data) 20 shown in the field list section 74, and the automatically selected photograph (photo data) 20 may be placed in the field 73 on the sixth page or later.

[0062] In the embodiment described above, the calculation processing unit (photo data placement unit 53) determines whether the photo (photo data) 20 includes a family member of the fetus 13 by processing the image to determine whether it includes a family photo 20 if it contains a person or part of a person, and determines whether it does not include a family photo 20 if it does not contain a person or part of a person. Of the multiple fields 73, in the fields 73 other than the first field 73 to the fifth field 73, the photo data placement unit 53 places an arbitrary photo 20 (an arbitrary photo 20 selected in the field list unit 74). Of the multiple fields 73, in the fields 73 other than the first field 73 and the fourth field 73, the character data placement unit 54 places an arbitrary character (an arbitrary character inputted to the second placement unit 78).

[0063] In the above-described embodiment, the photograph 20 is selected by the pointer 79. However, in the case of a touch panel type, it may be possible to select one photograph 20 by touching one of a plurality of photographs (photo data) 20 displayed in the photograph list section 71.

[0064] In the above-described embodiment, image matching processing or image recognition processing using artificial intelligence was used to determine whether or not the photograph (photo data) 20 includes a fetus 13, whether or not the fetus 13 includes a hand 14 of a person other than the fetus 13, whether or not a swaddling object 18 is included, and whether or not a family photo 20 is included. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 13, a message requesting confirmation may be displayed on screen M1 in response to each of the first to fifth field processes, and when a confirmation button (Yes, No) displayed on screen M1 is selected, it may be determined whether or not the photograph (photo data) 20 includes a fetus 13, whether or not the fetus 13 includes a hand 14 of a person other than the fetus 13, whether or not a swaddling object 18 is included, and whether or not a family photo 20 is included.

[0065] In the first field processing, if question 1 is Yes, placement of the photo (photo data) 20 in the first field 73 is completed. In the second field processing, if question 2 or question 5 is Yes, placement of the photo (photo data) 20 in the second field 73 is completed. In the third field processing, if question 3 is Yes, placement of the photo (photo data) 20 in the third field 73 is completed. In the fourth field processing, if question 1 is Yes, placement of the photo (photo data) 20 in the fourth field 73 is completed. In the fifth field processing, if question 4 is Yes, placement of the photo (photo data) 20 in the fifth field 73 is completed.

[0066] In the above-described embodiment, the first field processing to the fifth field processing are performed in that order. However, instead, the first field processing to the fifth field processing do not have to be performed, and the processing may proceed arbitrarily. When the print button 88 is selected after the arrangement of the photos 20 or text in all the fields 73, including the cover page 2, is completed, the calculation device 51 outputs the data of the photos 20 and text associated with each field 73 to the printing device 61. The printing device 61 receives the data sent from the calculation device 51 and creates the cover page 2 and body 3 of the Newborn Photo 1 by printing the photos 20 and text.
