Description

  The present invention relates to an operation display device and a program.

  There is provided a service for uploading an image captured by a portable device such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal onto a network and ordering a photo book. When ordering a photo book, the user selects a favorite image from a large number of images stored in the portable device, places it on a template, and inputs characters (comments).

  The size of the input character was changed by selecting it from a drop down list as shown in FIG. 10 or adjusting it with a slider. However, in the device in which the size of the touch panel such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal is not large, the display of the numerical values in the drop-down list is small, and it is difficult to select a desired numerical value with a fingertip. When the drop-down list is displayed as large as possible using the entire screen of the touch panel, it is necessary to open and close the drop-down list every time the character size is changed, in order to check the balance between the resized character and the image. It took time and effort.

  In addition, since it is difficult to display a color fine adjustment interface such as a color chart due to the limitation of the size of the touch panel, the color of the character can be selected from only a few basic colors.

  Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1 to 3 show display screens in the case of performing an editing process of inputting characters in an image when ordering a photo book with the operation display device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The operation display device 1 is, for example, a smartphone or a tablet terminal, and receives various operations by the touch panel 18.

  In order to order a photo book, the user first selects the size and number of pages of the photo book, a template, etc., selects a favorite image from the images stored in the operation display device 1, and arranges it in the template. Do.

  When image editing is performed after image arrangement, the user selects an editing mode. When the editing mode is selected, an image selection screen as shown in FIG. 1 is displayed on the touch panel 18. The user presses an image to be edited with a finger (or a touch pen) to select it. Subsequently, the user selects the editing menu. The editing menu includes addition of characters, enlargement / reduction / rotation of an image, etc. In this embodiment, characters are added as editing processing.

  When addition of a character is selected as the editing menu, a character input screen as shown in FIG. 2 is displayed on the touch panel 18. The user inputs the character to be added.

  When characters are input, the touch panel 18 displays a character composition screen as shown in FIG. 3A. When the user selects a desired position in the image 2 to be edited, characters are added to the selected position as shown in FIG. 3 (b).

  When the user presses the added character (text box 3), the size of the character changes.

  While the user continues pressing the text box 3, the operation display 1 continuously changes the size of the characters. For example, the basic size shown in FIG. 4 gradually increases, and after reaching the maximum size, it gradually decreases until the minimum size is reached. After that, the size of the character gradually increases and returns to the basic size.

  While the text box 3 is kept pressed, the operation display device 1 alternately repeats the process of gradually enlarging the characters to the maximum size and the process of gradually reducing the characters to the minimum size. When the user releases the finger from the text box 3, as shown in FIG. 3 (c), the operation display 1 stops changing the character size.

  The user checks the size of the character displayed on the touch panel 16 and releases the finger from the text box 3 when the size is the desired size. After adjusting the character size, the character addition process is ended by pressing the OK button.

  It has been difficult to adjust the size of characters by displaying a drop-down list as shown in FIG. 10 on the touch panel. It was particularly difficult when the size of the touch panel was small. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, while the text box 3 (character area) is kept pressed, the size of the character gradually changes. It only needs to release the finger from the touch panel 18 when the desired character size is reached. Therefore, adjustment of the character size can be easily performed.

  After the image editing, the operation display device 1 images all the pages of the photo book and transmits the image data to the order receiving server. The order receiving server transfers the image data to the factory. Print processing is performed at the factory to produce a photo book.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the operation display device 1. The operation display device 1 has a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 10 as a control unit that comprehensively controls the operation of the operation display device 1. A read only memory (ROM) 11, a random access memory (RAM) 12, a non-volatile memory 13, an operation unit 14, a display unit 15, an imaging unit 16, a communication unit 17 and the like are connected to the CPU 10 via a bus. There is.

  The CPU 10 is based on an OS (Operating System) program, and executes middleware, application programs and the like on the OS. Various programs are stored in the ROM 11 and each function of the operation display device 1 is realized by the CPU 10 executing various processes in accordance with these programs.

  The RAM 12 is used as a work memory for temporarily storing data when the CPU 10 executes a process based on a program.

  The non-volatile memory 13 is used for storing image data and the like. The nonvolatile memory 13 is, for example, a flash memory.

  The operation unit 14 receives various operations from the user. The display unit 15 displays various operation screens. In this embodiment, the touch panel 18 has the functions of the operation unit 14 and the display unit 15.

  The photographing unit 16 is, for example, a digital camera. Image data captured by the imaging unit 16 is stored in the non-volatile memory 13.

  The communication unit 17 communicates with the order receiving server via the Internet or the like.

  The photobook preparation program is stored in the ROM 11 (or the non-volatile memory 13), and the CPU 10 executes the photobook preparation program, as shown in FIG. The editing unit 22 and the photo book data transmission unit 23 are realized.

  The template selection unit 20 receives the selection of a template such as the product size, the number of pages, and the background of the photo book.

  The image arrangement unit 21 displays the thumbnails of the image data stored in the non-volatile memory 13 on the touch panel 18, and receives the selection of the image to be used for the photo book. The image arrangement unit 21 automatically arranges the selected image on a template.

  The character editing unit 22 receives, from the user, a selection of an image to which a character is to be added among images arranged in a template, and performs character editing processing to add a character to the selected image. The character editing unit 22 combines the input characters at a designated position in the image 2.

  After synthesizing the characters, when detecting that the text box 3 (character) is pressed, the character editing unit 22 starts adjusting the character size. While the text box 3 is pressed, the text editing unit 22 repeats the process of slightly changing the size of the text in the text box 3 to be combined with the image.

  For example, the character editing unit 22 gradually enlarges the characters to a predetermined maximum size, and after reaching the predetermined maximum size, gradually reduces the characters to a predetermined minimum size.

  The basic size, the minimum size, and the maximum size of the characters are preset for each item size of the photo book.

  Next, the character size changing method will be described according to the flowchart shown in FIG. The user selects an image to which characters are to be added from the images arranged in the template. After the image selection, when the user selects the text addition mode from the editing menu, the operation display device 1 displays a text input screen as shown in FIG. 2 on the touch panel 18. After determining the character to be input, the character editing unit 22 synthesizes the character at a position designated by the user in the image 2 (see FIG. 3B).

  When changing the text size, the user presses the text (text box 3) combined with image 2. When detecting that the text box 3 is pressed, the character editing unit 22 gradually enlarges the characters until the maximum size is reached. When the maximum size is reached, the character editing unit 22 gradually reduces the characters until the minimum size is reached. When the minimum size is reached, the character editing unit 22 gradually enlarges the characters until the maximum size is reached again.

  While the text box 3 is being pressed, the character editing unit 22 alternately repeats the process of gradually increasing the characters to the maximum size and the process of gradually reducing the characters to the minimum size.

  When the finger is removed from the text box 3 and the pressing of the text box 3 is not detected, the character editing unit 22 stops the character size changing process.

  According to the present embodiment, it is only necessary to keep pressing the character (text box 3) until the character has a desired size. The character size can be easily adjusted as compared with the case of using a drop down list or a slider (see FIG. 10). In particular, this is effective when the size of the touch panel 18 is not large.

  In the above embodiment, an example of adjusting the size of the character has been described, but the color (density) of the character may be adjusted. FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the character color changing method.

  The user selects an image to which characters are to be added from the images arranged in the template. After the image selection, when the user selects the text addition mode from the editing menu, the operation display device 1 displays a text input screen as shown in FIG. 2 on the touch panel 18. After determining the character to be input, the character editing unit 22 receives the selection of the basic color of the character to be combined with the image 2. The basic colors of the letters are about 10, such as red, green, blue, yellow, purple, brown, pink, black and white. The character editing unit 22 synthesizes the character of the selected color at the position designated by the user in the image 2.

  When changing the character color after combining the characters, the user presses the character (text box 3) combined with image 2. When the text editing unit 22 detects that the text box 3 (text) is pressed, it starts adjusting the text color. While the text box 3 is being pressed, the text editing unit 22 repeats the process of slightly changing the color saturation (saturation) of the text color in the text box 3 to be combined with the image. By changing the RGB 256 value in the integer range, the shade of color changes.

  For example, the character editing unit 22 gradually darkens the character color (increases the saturation) to a predetermined upper limit value, and gradually reduces the character color to a predetermined lower limit value after reaching the predetermined upper limit value ( Reduce saturation). When the lower limit value is reached, the character editing unit 22 gradually darkens the character color until the upper limit value is reached again.

  The upper limit and the lower limit of the shading of the character color are preset for each basic color.

  When the finger is removed from the text box 3 and the pressing of the text box 3 is not detected, the text editing unit 22 stops the text color change process. After selecting the basic color, it is possible to fine-tune the color by simply pressing and holding the text (text box 3) until the text is the desired color.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, the character size may be adjusted or the character color may be adjusted or switched from the drop-down list (pull-down menu) 5. On the screen shown in FIG. 9A, while the text box 3 is kept pressed, the character size changes continuously. On the screen shown in FIG. 9C, while the text box 3 is kept pressed, the character color (shade) changes continuously.

  The operation display device 1 may detect not only whether the text box 3 is pressed (contact operation by the user), but also the pressed force (pressing force). The operation display device 1 changes the speed of change of the character size and the character color in accordance with the pressing force. For example, the larger the pressing force, the faster the character size and the character color are changed.

  Thereby, for example, when changing the character size while pressing the text box 3, if the finger can not be released at the desired size, the size change becomes faster by strongly pressing the text box 3, and the desired character size is obtained. It can reach (return) quickly.

  In addition, when the pressing force of the text box 3 becomes equal to or more than a predetermined value, the character size and the character color may be changed. When the user wants to change the position of the text box 3, the user slightly touches the text box 3 and performs a drag operation. When the time for which the text box 3 is pressed is longer than a predetermined time, the character size and the character color may be changed.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which the size and the color of the characters combined in the image is changed has been described. For example, while the stamp is combined with the image in the editing process and the combined stamp is kept pressed, the sizes of the stamps are continuous It may be changed in

  In the above embodiment, an example of combining characters so as to be superimposed on an image has been described, but characters may be combined in a margin portion.

  In the above embodiment, the example of adjusting the color tone of the character color has been described, but while the text box 3 is kept pressed, among the basic colors selectable as red, green, blue, yellow,. You may change the character color with.

  Instead of a photo book, it may be possible to order other prints such as calendars, posters and postcards.

  The method according to the present embodiment can be applied not only to the image editing process at the time of ordering a print product but also to the case of adding characters to the image stored in the operation display device 1.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment as it is, and at the implementation stage, the constituent elements can be modified and embodied without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, various inventions can be formed by appropriate combinations of a plurality of constituent elements disclosed in the above embodiment. For example, some components may be deleted from all the components shown in the embodiment. Furthermore, components in different embodiments may be combined as appropriate.
