Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, a nail sheet creation method, a program, and a recording medium for creating nail sheet image data for printing a nail sheet (seal) that is attached to a nail to decorate the nail.

  In the past, there was something that enjoyed nail art by printing a favorite design on an adhesive sheet. There exists the following patent document 1 as this kind of literature.

In this patent document 1, the shape and dimensions of a nail, a finger, a hand, etc. are detected using a digital video camera, these data are taken into a personal computer, and a large number of colors and patterns inputted in advance to the personal computer. The user selects one of the artificial nail samples, and the image display unit displays an image that combines the sample data and the user's nail, finger, and hand data detected by the digital video camera. Then, there is described a nail printer that prints the color and pattern of the finally selected sample on a commercially available artificial artificial nail or a sheet having an adhesive portion on the back surface.
JP 2000-301778 A

  However, in the above conventional technology, the entire nail is created as a single design (nail sheet), so if the nail is stretched or if you want to change the design, apply it to the nail. It was necessary to peel off all the sheets that had been printed and to re-print the sheets that had been printed again.

  In fact, the nail grows quickly, and this work occurs frequently, and it is necessary to immediately replace the nail sheet that has been created, which is very cumbersome and expensive. There was a problem.

  In addition, when applying a French nail that changes the design of only the tip of the nail, the entire sheet had to be created with that design in advance.

  For this reason, when it was later desired to change the nail with the sheet into a French nail, the entire design had to be changed and reattached. Normally, in nail art using nail polish, if you want to make a French nail later, you only need to apply it to the tip of the nail polish that has already been applied. For this reason, when the conventional nail printer is used, there is a problem that not only the replacement work is required, but also the cost is increased.

  Thus, with the conventional technology, it is inconvenient and expensive to enjoy nail art freely, which is not practical.

  As shown in FIG. 7, a French nail sheet is a sheet in which a nail sheet is bonded to a nail and then bonded to the tip of the nail to change the design. This makes it possible to easily change the design without peeling off the adhered sheet.

  Hereinafter, the control processing operation in the nail art sheet printing system of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of a first control processing procedure in the nail art sheet printing system of the present invention. The CPU 101 shown in FIG. 2 loads the program stored in the HD 105 or other recording medium into the memory 103. Then, it is executed by executing the execution process. In addition, S101-S117 show each step.

  First, when the processing of the flowchart is started, the CPU 101 displays a screen (not shown) on the display 106 and allows the user to input whether or not to create a nail sheet, an interpolation sheet, and a French nail sheet.

  Then, in step S101, the CPU 101 determines whether nail sheet creation is instructed. If it is determined that nail sheet creation is instructed, in step S102, the CPU 101 determines whether it is the first creation. This determination is made based on whether data is registered in the nail shape DB 500.

  If the CPU 101 determines in step S102 that it is the first creation, the nail shape data is created in step S103, and the nail shape data created in step S103 is stored in the work area in the memory 103 in step S104. At the same time, it is registered in the nail shape DB 500 and the process proceeds to step S106.

  Note that any method may be used to create the nail shape data in step S103. For example, the nail is imaged from above, laterally, and forwardly on a dedicated sheet (graph paper or the like) by the digital camera 120 shown in FIG. 1, the captured data is captured, and the CPU 101 is based on the imaging result. The data corresponding to the nail shape DB 500 may be generated. Further, the width and length of the nail are manually measured with a ruler, and the base line, tip line, curve, etc. are selected from the shape of a predetermined template, and each measurement result and selection result is displayed on the display 106 by the CPU 101. A method of inputting from a predetermined input screen to be displayed may be used. Furthermore, data measured using a three-dimensional scanner or the like may be captured. As described above, any method including various measurement methods conventionally performed may be used as long as it is a method capable of acquiring data for registration in the nail shape DD500 of FIG.

  On the other hand, if the CPU 101 determines in step S102 that it is not the first creation, in step S105, the nail shape data is acquired from the nail shape DB 500, stored in the work area in the memory 103, and the process proceeds to step S106.

  Next, the CPU 101 displays a selection screen (not shown) on the display 106 and instructs creation of a new design or selection of an existing design. If the CPU 101 determines in step S106 that creation of a new design has been instructed, the process proceeds to step S107, where a new design creation process is executed. In step S108, the design created in step S107 is stored in the memory. The work area is stored in the work area 103 and registered in the design DB 300, and the process proceeds to step S111. Note that the process for creating a new design in step S107 may be a process using any method as long as data that can be registered in the design DB 300 can be created. For example, it may be a process of creating image data created by existing paint software or a process of acquiring data from the WWW server 140.

  On the other hand, if the CPU 101 determines in step S106 that creation of a new design has not been instructed (selection of an existing design in the design DB 300 has been instructed), the existing design in the design DB 300 is determined in step S110. The selected design data is saved in the work area in the memory 103, and the process proceeds to step S111.

  In step S111, the CPU 101 creates nail sheet print data based on the nail shape data and design data, outputs the print data to the printer 110, and prints it on a predetermined adhesive sheet (dedicated sheet). Finally, the creation information is registered in the creation information DB 400, and the process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S101 that nail sheet creation has not been instructed on the selection screen (not shown) described above, the CPU 101 proceeds to step S112 and determines whether a nail sheet has been created. This determination is made based on whether or not creation information is registered in the creation information DB 400.

  If it is determined in step S112 that a nail sheet has been created, it is determined in step S113 whether creation of an interpolation sheet is instructed on the selection screen, and it is determined that creation of an interpolation sheet has been instructed. In this case, the process proceeds to step S114, an interpolation sheet creation process (details are shown in FIG. 9) is performed, and the process ends.

  On the other hand, if the CPU 101 determines in step S113 that creation of an interpolation sheet has not been instructed on the selection screen, the process proceeds to step S115, in which it is determined whether French nail sheet creation is instructed on the selection screen. If it is determined that creation of a French nail sheet has been instructed, the process proceeds to step S116, a French nail sheet creation process (details are shown in FIG. 15) is performed, and the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the CPU 101 determines in step S112 that a nail sheet has not been created, or if it is determined in step S115 that creation of a French nail sheet has not been instructed, an end instruction is given on the selection screen. If it is determined that the end has not been instructed, the process returns to step S101. On the other hand, if it is determined that the end has been instructed, the process ends.

  Hereinafter, the interpolation sheet creation process shown in step S114 of FIG. 8 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the second control processing procedure in the nail art sheet printing system of the present invention, and corresponds to the interpolation sheet creation processing shown in step S114 of FIG. 2 is executed when the CPU 101 shown in FIG. 2 loads a program stored in the HD 105 or other recording medium into the memory 103 and executes the program. In addition, S201-S213 shows each step.

  10 to 14 are schematic diagrams showing examples of display screens in the nail art sheet printing system of the present invention.

  First, in step S <b> 201, the CPU 101 acquires creation information (nail shape, created design, creation date) of the previous nail art sheet from the creation information DB 400, nail design DB 300, and shape DB 500 and stores them in the memory 103. At the same time, as shown in FIG.

  Next, in step S <b> 202, the number of days elapsed since the previous creation date is calculated and stored in the memory 103.

  Next, in step S203, the CPU 101 determines whether or not interpolation sheet creation is the first time. In this determination, if the number of times of printing 405 of the previous creation information in the creation information DB 400 is “1”, it is determined that the interpolation sheet is created for the first time, and if it is “2 times” or more, the interpolation sheet is created. It is determined that it is not the first time.

  In step S203, if the CPU 101 determines that the interpolation sheet creation is the first time, in step S204, using the general average value of the nail elongation rate, the stretched length is calculated and stored in the memory 103. Proceed to step S204.

  On the other hand, if the CPU 101 determines in step S203 that the interpolation sheet creation is not the first time, the nail elongation rate (stored in the hard disk 105) used in the previous interpolation sheet creation is used in step S205. The extended length is calculated and stored in the memory 103, and the process proceeds to step S206.

  Next, in step S206, the extended length of the nail calculated in step S204 or S205 is displayed on the display 106 as shown in FIG. 11, and the user is confirmed to select whether or not to change. This allows the user to compare the length of the nail displayed on the screen with the length of the user's actual nail (measured with a ruler or the like), and change it if it is different. it can.

  In step S207, the CPU 101 determines whether or not there is an instruction to change the extended length of the nail. If it is determined that there is an instruction to change the extended length of the nail, in step S208, The CPU 101 displays the screens shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 on the display 106 and allows the user to input the length of the nail. As a result, the user uses the keyboard 107 to input the extended length of the nail. When the detailed setting button 1001 on the screen in FIG. 12 is instructed by the mouse 108, the CPU 101 displays the screen shown in FIG. 13 on the display 106, and inputs the length of the nail extended for each finger.

  Next, in step S209, the CPU 210 stores the data input from the screens shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 in the memory 103 as the extended length of the nail, and in step S210, from the previous sheet creation date to the present. The nail elongation rate is calculated using the number of days, stored in the HD 105, and the process proceeds to step S212.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S207 that the CPU 101 has not received an instruction to change the length of extension of the nail (OK button has been specified), in step S211, the CPU 101 calculates in step S204 or S205. The extended length of the nail is defined as the extended length of the nail, and the process proceeds to step S212.

  Next, in step S212, the CPU 101 calculates the shape of the interpolation sheet that matches the line of the hairline from the nail shape data acquired in step S201 and the length of the nail, and stores the interpolation sheet shape in the extraction position 406 of the creation information DB 400. Based on this, a design image continuous with the previously created design is extracted to create an image of the interpolation sheet, which is displayed on the display 106 as shown in FIG.

  When a user confirmation instruction is detected, in step S213, the CPU 101 creates print data based on the image of the interpolation sheet created in step S212, outputs the print data to the printer 110, and outputs a predetermined adhesive sheet (dedicated Print processing on the sheet), and finally, the creation information is registered in the creation information DB 400, and the processing ends.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 15 to 16, the French nail sheet creation process shown in step S116 of FIG. 8 will be described.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of a third control processing procedure in the nail art sheet printing system of the present invention, and corresponds to the French nail sheet creation processing shown in step S116 of FIG. 2 is executed when the CPU 101 shown in FIG. 2 loads a program stored in the HD 105 or other recording medium into the memory 103 and executes the program. In addition, S301-S310 shows each step.

  FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a display screen in the nail art sheet printing system of the present invention.

  First, in step S <b> 301, the CPU 101 acquires creation information (nail shape, created design, creation date) of the previous nail art sheet from the creation information DB 400, nail design DB 300, and shape DB 500 and stores them in the memory 103. To do.

  Next, the CPU 101 displays a selection screen (not shown) on the display 106 and instructs creation of a new design or selection of an existing design. If the CPU 101 determines in step S302 that the creation of a new design has been instructed, the process proceeds to step S303, where the design created by executing the new design creation process is stored in the work area in the memory 103. The process proceeds to step S305. Note that the new design creation processing in step S303 may be processing using any method as long as data that can be registered in the design DB 300 can be created. For example, it may be a process of designating image data created by existing paint software or the like, or a process of acquiring data from the WWW server 140.

  On the other hand, if the CPU 101 determines in step S302 that creation of a new design has not been instructed (selection of an existing design in the design DB 300 has been instructed), the existing design in the design DB 300 is determined in step S304. The selected design data is saved in the work area in the memory 103, and the process proceeds to step S305.

  Next, in Step S305, an image of a French nail sheet is created based on the design created in Step S303 or the design selected in Step S304 and the nail shape data obtained in Step S201 and stored in the memory 103. Create an image that combines the French nail sheet image and the previously created nail art image (synthesized), and display them on the display 106 as shown in FIG. 16 as previews and composite previews. Is this design OK? , Ask the user to confirm the change.

  In step S306, the CPU 101 determines whether or not there is an instruction indicating that the design is OK, and if it is determined that there is no instruction indicating that the design is OK (there is an instruction to change). In step S307, the design is edited, and the process returns to step S305.

  On the other hand, if the CPU 101 determines in step S306 that the user has instructed that the design is OK, a confirmation screen (not shown) is displayed on the display 106 and whether or not the created design is to be saved. Confirm with the user.

  Then, in step S308, it is determined whether or not it is instructed to save the created design. If it is determined that it is instructed to save the created design, it is registered in the design DB 300 in step S309. Proceed to step S310.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S308 that an instruction to save the created design has not been given, the process proceeds directly to step S310.

  In step S310, print data based on the image of the French nail sheet created in step S305 is created, and the print data is output to the printer 110 to be printed on a predetermined adhesive sheet (dedicated sheet). finish.

  Although FIG. 15 shows the French nail sheet creation process, a partial sheet other than the French nail sheet (a sheet covering a part of the nail) may be created. For example, it may be configured to create a protective sheet (a sheet for masking nails other than the French nail portion) that is used when a design such as a French nail is applied with nail polish using the nail shape data that was previously created. . In this case, in step S305, an image of a portion other than the French nail (nail tip) is created instead of the image of the French nail sheet. In this case, the process related to design and the like can be omitted. Moreover, this partial sheet | seat may cover the area | region of the right half or the left half of one nail | claw.

  Also, by registering various design information stored in the design DB 300 in the WWW server 140 via the Internet 130, the created design can be published on the Web. In addition, designs created by other people registered in the WWW server 140 can be viewed and downloaded.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which each flowchart is processed by the PC 100 to create a nail art sheet has been described. However, the server 140 performs each flowchart described above, and the image data of the created nail sheet is stored in the PC 100.
