However, recently, in the field of mobile phones, the number of devices has become more than 40 million in early 1999 and has been devised as play goods, such as those that have devised the shape and pattern of the housing, A camouflage pattern is commercially available.
In addition, a seal having a design such as a grain of wood for attaching to a commercially available mobile phone is commercially available at low cost.

[0003] However, in the case where the shape and pattern of the conventional housing are devised, the housing itself is "erected" and formed and processed, so that the cost is high and the housing has a camouflage pattern. Since the case itself with the pattern is also manufactured separately, there is a problem that the cost is similarly increased. In addition, the above seals have a limited pattern, and there are various types of housings for mobile phones. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to provide a seal having the same size and shape for all of these housings. Was. Furthermore, there is a problem that the user cannot freely select his favorite pattern or even design himself. Therefore, a system has recently emerged that selects a model of a mobile phone and a desired pattern to create a sticker of the selected pattern that matches the shape of various types of mobile phones.

[0004]

In the above-described program for the conventional seal making system, the position where the cutting pattern suitable for the shape of the selected portable telephone is superimposed on the selected picture is fixed, and cannot be changed. Met. Therefore, depending on the design, there is a problem that the balance is remarkably lacking, or a portion to be left on the sticker enters a cutout portion for a display or a button of a mobile phone, and the whole or a part thereof is cut off. In particular, there has been a problem that it is not possible to guarantee to a licensee of a copyright of a character or the like that an image such as a face is not damaged by a cut line for a pattern having a character or a portrait right. An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, adapt to a variety of small device housings, select an arbitrary design, and further upgrade the shape and dimensions of the housing and improve the design. add to·
Another object of the present invention is to provide a decoration sticker producing apparatus for small equipment which can cope with changes, and further provide a sticker producing apparatus which can be arranged without deteriorating a picture and a computer-readable recording medium recording the program thereof.

[0005]
