[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 photographs of a fetus and is called a newborn photo. FIGS. 2 to 9 are diagrams showing an example of an 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 following description will continue.

[0013] <Newborn Photo> First, let me explain about newborn photography. As shown in FIG. 1, the newborn photo 1 includes a cover 2 and multiple text sections 3. The cover 2 and text sections 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 the fetus is displayed in the photo area 10. The text area 11 displays the fetus's name, weight, date of birth, etc. In this embodiment, the fetus's name is written in English, which is different from Japanese, for example, "I am Sakura."

[0014] As shown in Figures 3 to 8, each of the plurality of main texts 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. Text is displayed in the text area 11 as appropriate. As shown in FIG. 3, among the multiple main texts 3, the text area 11 of the first page of main text 3 shows the name, weight, birthday, etc. of the fetus 13, just like 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. Furthermore, 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 shown 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 suggest 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." Although the photo 20 of the main text 3 on the second page is actually a fetus 13, the characters suggest that the fetus 13 is an animal, i.e., a rabbit. Note that the characters in the main text 3 on the second page are not limited to those in the above-described embodiment, and characters that suggest an animal are used to indicate that the fetus is an animal of the Chinese zodiac.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 5, among the multiple main texts 3, the photo area 10 of the main text 3 on the third page shows a photo 20 including a fetus 13. The photo 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 photo 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 also reflected along 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 brothers' hands 14 holding a heart and the fetus 13, thereby representing the image of a carrot being given as a gift 17 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-described embodiment, and the photo 20 may include a carrot, flower, heart, star, etc. as the gift 17 along with the hands 14. Predetermined characters are displayed in the text area 11 of the main text 3 on the third page. In this embodiment, the characters "He gave me one heart each" are displayed in the text area 11 of the main text 3 on the third page, which gives the impression of the gift 17 being given. Note that the characters in the main text 3 on the third page are not limited to those in the above-described embodiment.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 6, among the multiple main texts 3, the photo area 10 of the main text 3 on page 4 shows a photo 20 including a fetus 13. The photo 20 of the main text 3 on page 4 includes the fetus 13 and an object 18 that is wrapping the fetus 13. In other words, the photo 20 of the main text 3 on page 4 is a photo 20 of the fetus 13 wrapped in the wrapping object 18. The text area 11 of the main text 3 on page 4 shows sentences and characters that evoke the image of the fetus 13 in the photo 20 on page 4 being in its mother's womb.

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

[0020] As shown in FIG. 7 , among the multiple main texts 3, a photo 20 of a fetus 13 is displayed in the photo area 10 of the main text 3 on the fifth page. A text area 11 of the main text 3 on the fifth page displays sentences and characters that evoke the image of the fetus 13 in the photo 20 on the fifth page being born. In this embodiment, the text area 11 of the main text 3 on the fifth page displays the words "When I open my eyes, I see the boys from back then," which evoke the image of the fetus 13 being born from its mother, that is, emerging from the womb into the outside world. Note that the characters of the main text 3 on the fifth page are not limited to those in the above-described embodiment.

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

[0022] 9 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the overall configuration of a newborn photo. In the newborn photo 1, for convenience of explanation, a predetermined body 3 among the multiple bodies 3 will be referred to as the first body 3, a predetermined body 3 located after the first body 3 will be referred to as the second body 3, a predetermined body 3 located after the second body 3 will be referred to as the third body 3, and a predetermined body 3 located after the third body 3 will be 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 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 there may be another body 3 between them.

[0023] As shown in Figure 9, Newborn Photo 1 has a photo 20 including a fetus 13 arranged in the main text 3 after the cover 2. If the main text 3 of the photo 20 that first includes a fetus 13 after display is the first main text 3 (for example, the main text 3 on the second page), Newborn Photo 1 has a configuration in which a photo 20 including a hand 14 of a person other than the fetus 13 is arranged in the second main text 3 (for example, 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 the third main text 3 (e.g., page 4), which is the main text 3 that comes after the second main text 3 (e.g., page 3). Newborn Photo 1 is configured such that a photo 20 of the 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 the main text 3 that comes after the third main text 3 (e.g., page 4). Newborn Photo 1 is structured such that a photo 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, after a photograph 20 of the fetus 13 is shown in the first text 3, 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 are 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. Therefore, Newborn Photo 1 can express the flow from the conception of the fetus 13 to the birth of the fetus 13, and can be used to record the relationship between the fetus 13 and family members, 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 computing device 51. The computing device 51 may be any of a personal computer, a mobile terminal (smartphone, tablet), a server, etc. In Fig. 10, the computing device 51 is shown as a personal computer by way of example.

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

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

[0029] The following provides a detailed description of the photo data acquisition unit 52, the photo data arrangement unit 53, and the character data arrangement unit 54. The photo data acquisition unit 52, the photo data arrangement unit 53, and the character data arrangement unit 54 are configured from computer programs, etc. In other words, the photo data acquisition unit 52, the photo data arrangement unit 53, and the character data arrangement unit 54 are configured from application software.

[0030] When the computer program (application software) is started, a screen M1 such as that shown in Fig. 11 is displayed on the display device of the personal computer. 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 main text 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 main text 3 of the newborn photo 1. In other words, the field 73 shown on the screen M1 is an area that represents the cover 2 or the main text 3 of the newborn photo 1 on the screen M1 in a trial format. The cover 2 and the main text 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] A field 73 can be added by selecting an add button 85 of the editing section 72, and a field 73 can be deleted by selecting a delete button 86. 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 in order from left to right, with the leftmost image corresponding to the cover 2 and the middle image corresponding to the main text 3.

[0033] The editing unit 72 includes a page display unit that indicates the number of the displayed field 73 on the screen, and a page selection unit 75 for turning pages. When the left page selection unit 75 is selected, the arithmetic 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, the arithmetic 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 enlarged or reduced to view it on the screen M1. The field 73 is rectangular and includes a first placement section 77 for placing the photo (photo data) 20 and a second placement section 78 for placing text. The first placement section 77 corresponds to the photo area 10 of the newborn photo 1, and the second placement 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 calculation unit 51, and acquires multiple pieces of photo data by storing the read photos 20 in the memory unit 55. When the calculation unit 51 acquires the photo data, the calculation 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 multiple photos (photo data) 20 by reading out photo data that has already been 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 multiple photos (photo data) 20.

[0037] The photo data placement unit 53 places 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 with the pointer 79, the photo (photo data) 20 is placed in the first placement 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. The character data placement unit 54 places character data in a field 73 corresponding to at least one body text 3. For example, when characters or the like are input into the second placement unit 78 of the field 73 currently displayed in the editing unit 72 and a decision button (not shown) is selected, the input characters are determined as the characters to be placed in the second placement unit 78 of the field 73 currently displayed in the 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 or image recognition processing using 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 or image recognition processing using 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. When arranging a photograph (photo data) 20 in a field 73, the photograph data arranging unit 53 executes first field processing to arrange photograph data including a fetus 13 in the first field 73 corresponding to a predetermined body 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 photograph (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 processing performs processing to place photo data including the fetus 13 in one of the fields 73 on pages 1 to 7. For example, in the first field processing, 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 photographs (photo data) 20 that include the fetus 13, and displays "Please select a photograph that includes the 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 placement unit 54 performs processing to prompt the user to "enter characters (character data) that evoke an animal" in the second placement unit 78 of the first field 73. For example, when the first field 73 is displayed in the editing unit 72, the message unit 80 on the screen M1 displays "Please enter characters that evoke an animal." When characters are entered in the second placement unit 78 of the first field 73, the character data placement unit 54 completes the placement of characters that evoke an animal in the first field 73.

[0046] After completing the first field processing, the photo data arrangement unit 53 performs the second field processing. In the second field processing, a process is performed to place photo data including a fetus 13 and a 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 processing, a process is performed to place the photo 20 including the fetus 13 and a hand 14 of a person other than the fetus 13 in the field 73 of the third page and subsequent pages.

[0047] For example, in the second field processing, the message section 80 of the screen M1 displays "Please place a photo including a fetus and the hands of a person other than the fetus in the fields on pages 3 and onwards." 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 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 pages 3 and onwards.

[0049] In the second field processing described above, a photograph (photo data) 20 including a fetus 13 and a hand 14 of a person different from the fetus 13 is processed 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 of a person 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 "Please place a photo including a person's hand 14 holding an object (gift) 17 and the object (gift) being held in field 73 from page 3 onwards." 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 their 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 photograph (photo data) 20 including a fetus 13 and a person other than the fetus 13 holding an object (gift) 17 in their hand 14 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 3 and onwards.

[0052] When the second field processing is completed, the photo data placement unit 53 performs the third field processing. In the third field processing, 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, if 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 a hand 14 of a person other than the fetus 13 is placed in the second field 73 corresponding to the second main text 3 (fourth page), the third field processing places the photo data including the fetus 13 and the object 18 wrapping the fetus 13 in the fields 73 on pages five and beyond. For example, in the third field processing, the message section 80 on screen M1 displays, "Please place a photo of the fetus and the object wrapping the fetus in the field on pages five and beyond."

[0053] Alternatively, in the third 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 the fetus 13 and the object 18 that surrounds 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 photo 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 the fetus 13 and the 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 pages 5 and onwards.

[0055] When the third field processing is completed, the photo data placement unit 53 performs the fourth field processing. In the fourth field processing, 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, if 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 (page 5), the fourth field processing performs processing to place the photo data including the fetus 13 in the fields 73 on pages 6 and onward. For example, in the fourth field processing, a message 80 on the screen M1 displays, "Please place a photo including a fetus in the field on page 6 or later."

[0056] Alternatively, in the fourth 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 the fetus 13, and the message section 80 of the 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 photo 20 containing 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 processing, when a photograph 20 including a fetus 13 is placed in the fourth field 73, the character data placement unit 54 performs processing to prompt the user to "enter characters (character data) indicating that the baby has been born" in the second placement 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 placement unit 78 of the fourth field 73, the character data placement unit 54 completes the placement 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 placement unit 53 performs the fifth field process. In the fifth field process, photo data including the fetus 13 and the family of the fetus 13 is placed in the fifth field 73 corresponding to the fifth body 3. As shown in FIG. 12, if the body 3 on the sixth page is the fourth body 3 and a photo (photo data) 20 including the fetus 13 is placed in the fourth field 73 corresponding to the fourth body 3 (sixth page), the fifth field process performs a process of placing the photo data including the fetus 13 and the family of the fetus 13 in the fields 73 on pages seven and beyond. For example, in the fourth field process, the message section 80 on screen M1 displays, "Please place photos including the fetus and the family of the fetus in the fields on pages seven and beyond."

[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 pages 6 and onwards.

[0062] In the above-described embodiment, 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 determining through image processing that if a person or part of a person is included, it is determined that the photo 20 includes a family member, and if no person or part of a person is included, it is determined that the photo 20 does not include a family member. Of the multiple fields 73, the photo data placement unit 53 places an arbitrary photo 20 (an arbitrary photo 20 selected in the field list unit 74) in the fields 73 other than the first field 73 to the fifth field 73. Of the multiple fields 73, the character data placement unit 54 places an arbitrary character (an arbitrary character input to the second placement unit 78) in the fields 73 other than the first field 73 and the fourth field 73.

[0063] In the above-described embodiment, the photo 20 is selected using the pointer 79, but instead, in the case of a touch panel type, it may be possible to select one photo 20 by touching it out of multiple photos (photo data) 20 displayed in the photo 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 it includes the fetus 13 and the hand 14 of a person other than the fetus 13, whether or not it includes a swaddling object 18, and whether or not it includes a family photo 20. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 13, a confirmation message 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 it includes the fetus 13 and the hand 14 of a person other than the fetus 13, whether or not it includes a swaddling object 18, and whether or not it includes a family photo 20.

[0065] In the first field processing, if question 1 is Yes, the arrangement 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, the arrangement of the photo (photo data) 20 in the second field 73 is completed. In the third field processing, if question 3 is Yes, the arrangement of the photo (photo data) 20 in the third field 73 is completed. In the fourth field processing, if question 1 is Yes, the arrangement of the photo (photo data) 20 in the fourth field 73 is completed. In the fifth field processing, if question 4 is Yes, the arrangement 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 order, but instead, the first field processing to the fifth field processing do not have to be performed, and the processing may proceed arbitrarily. After the arrangement of photos 20 or text in all fields 73, including the cover 2, is completed, when the print button 88 is selected, 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 2 and body 3 of the newborn photo 1 by printing the photos 20 and text.

[0067] The photo album creation method of the present invention includes a photo 20 arranging step of arranging a predetermined photo 20 in a main text 3 from among a plurality of photos 20, and a text arranging step in the plurality of main texts 3. The photo 20 arranging step arranges photo data including a fetus 13 in a first main text 3, which is a predetermined main text 3 from among the plurality of main texts 3, and arranges a photo 20 including a fetus 13 and a human hand 14 different from the fetus 13 in a second main text 3, which is a main text 3 that follows the first main text 3. Note that a photo 20 including a human hand 14 holding an object (gift) 17 and the object (gift) 17 may also be arranged in the second main text 3 as photo data including the human hand 14.

[0068] The photo 20 placement process places photo data including an object 18 wrapping the fetus 13 in a third body 3 corresponding to the body 3 after the second body 3. The photo 20 placement process places photo data including the fetus 13 in a fourth body 3 after the third body 3. The text placement process places text data indicating birth in a fourth field 73. The photo 20 placement process places a photo 20 including the fetus 13 and the family of the fetus 13 in a fifth body 3 after the fourth body 3.

[0069] <Summary> The album creation system 50 is an album creation system 50 that creates an album including a cover 2 and multiple main texts 3, and includes a photo data acquisition unit 52 that acquires multiple pieces of photo data, and a photo data placement unit 53 that places predetermined photo data from the multiple pieces of photo data acquired by the photo data acquisition unit 52 in a field 73 corresponding to the main text 3, and the photo data placement unit 53 places photo data including a fetus 13 in a first field 73 that is a field 73 corresponding to the predetermined main text 3 among the multiple fields 73 corresponding to the multiple main texts 3, and places photo data including a fetus 13 and a hand 14 of a person different from the fetus 13 in a second field 73 corresponding to the main text 3 after the predetermined main text 3.
