Next, the operation of this embodiment having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIG. That is, FIG. 6 is a general flow of the present embodiment, in which front montage registration processing is executed (SA1).
This front montage registration process is executed on condition that the front montage key 6b is operated according to the flow shown in FIG. 7 (SB1). First, if the front montage key 6b is operated, the initial part pattern NO. Is initialized (SB2). Here, the initial part pattern NO. Is the site No. shown in FIG. No. 1 from the "contour". No. 10 for each part pattern up to "both feet". This is the front part pattern data stored in “A” of the part pattern NO. No. of each part pattern representing the whole body in front of one person, which is composed of 10 kinds of part patterns from "contour" of part 1 to "both legs" of part 10 stored in "A". The data is stored in each part area of the montage RAM 13.

Subsequently, the data synthesizing process (SB3) is executed, and this data synthesizing process is performed according to the flow shown in FIG. That is, each part pattern No. stored in the initial setting is first. First, the contour part pattern No. Is read (SC1), and the read contour part pattern NO. Is transferred to the composition RAM 14 (SC2), and then the hair pattern part pattern No. (SC3), and read the read hairstyle part pattern No. Similarly, the part pattern data corresponding to is transferred to the composition RAM 14 (SC4).

Further, after the same processing is performed for other parts such as eyes, nose, and mouth (SC5), the image synthesized by the synthesis RAM 14 is displayed on the first display section 5 (SC6). Therefore, as a result of this processing of SC6, as shown in FIG. 12 (A), the first display unit 5 displays the part pattern NO. A basic montage of the front of the whole body composed of the part patterns stored as “A” is displayed. Note that FIG. 12 shows only the upper body part of the montage of the whole body.

On the other hand, in SB4 subsequent to SB3 in FIG. 7, it is determined whether or not the contour key 7f is operated (SB4). If the contour key 7f is operated, the contour part pattern No. Is changed from the initially set "01" to "02" (SB5), and then the above-mentioned data synthesizing process (SB
Execute 3). Therefore, each time the contour key 7f is operated, the part pattern of the contour of the whole-body front montage displayed on the first display section 5 is changed. Then, when the hairstyle key 7a is operated next when the part pattern having the contour most similar to the contour of the person to be created is displayed from the 50 types, the determination of SB6 is Y.
Becomes ES, hairstyle parts pattern NO. Is changed from "01" to "02" at the same time (SB7), and the part pattern of the hairstyle of the whole body front montage is changed.

Similarly, the ear key 7d shown in FIG.
~ By operating the both foot keys 7j to change to a similar part pattern, the basic type front-view whole-body montage displayed at the beginning shifts to a full-body front-view montage similar to the target person. Then, when the whole-body front montage resembling the target person is formed, the OK key 6f is operated. Then, the process proceeds from SB16 to SB17, and from the basic type front montage (see FIG. 12 (A)), the front montage (FIG. 1) similar to the subject formed by the above process is performed.
2 (see (B)) is displayed on the first display unit 5, and
It is the first personal part pattern area 131 of items 1 to 20 shown in FIG. 4, and in each part area in the front montage data area 132, each part pattern NO. Is registered.

On the other hand, in the general flow of FIG. 6, S
At SA2 following A1, right side montage registration processing is executed. This right side montage registration process is shown in FIG.
According to the flow shown in, the execution is performed on condition that the right side montage key 6c is turned on (SD
1). When the right side montage key 6c is operated, each registered front part pattern No. Each part pattern No. on the right side corresponding to Read (S
D2). That is, tentatively, as the front part pattern, "contour" part pattern NO. When "B" of No. has been registered, the part pattern No. on the right side corresponding to this. As the part pattern No. of "B-1".
To read. In this case, the part pattern NO. At the same time, the NO. Other than "B-2", "B
-3 "... Other parts pattern No. Read
At the time of synthesizing and displaying data, which will be described later, these corresponding part patterns may be collectively synthesized and displayed. In this case, a large number of part patterns on the right side surface are collectively displayed, so that a desired part pattern can be easily selected from among them. For hairstyles other than the contour, the corresponding right side part pattern No. To read. Then, the part pattern NO. Is stored in each part area in the right side montage data area 132 of the montage RAM 13.

Next, the data synthesizing process described above with reference to FIG. 8 is executed (SD3). Therefore, by the process of SD3, the montage of the right side surface formed by each part pattern on the right side surface of each read portion is obtained. It is displayed on the first display unit 5. If the montage of the right side surface displayed on the first display unit 5 is not similar to the right side surface of the target person, FIG.
The same determination processing as SB4 to SB15 in SD4 to SD7
By executing with, it is possible to create a montage on the right side that is similar to the target person. And
When the right side montage similar to the target person is created, the OK key 6f is operated. Then AD8 to SD
9, the montage on the right side similar to the subject formed by the above process as shown in FIG.
The corresponding part pattern area 131 is displayed on the display unit 5, and the right side surface montage data area 133 includes each part pattern NO. Is registered.

Incidentally, the part No. of the right side surface read by SD2. If the montage on the right side composed of is already similar to the target person, you can operate the OK key 6f immediately without operating the contour key 7f etc., and the part pattern automatically read in advance in SD2. NO. Will be registered as is at SD9. Therefore, in this case, after operating the right side montage key 6c, the OK key 6 is pressed.
Only by operating f, the part pattern No. on the right side corresponding to the front side. Can be registered.

Further, each registered part pattern No. on the right side surface. Based on the respective part pattern data corresponding to, the corresponding left side part pattern data is inverted and output, and registered in the left side part pattern data area 135 of the montage RAM 13 as the left side part pattern data ( SD10). In other words, since the right side surface and the left side surface are line-symmetrical, by inverting each part pattern forming the right side surface, the part pattern forming the left side surface can be obtained. The data indicating the pattern is registered for each part of the area 135.

SA following SA2 in the general flow
In 3, the back surface montage registration processing is executed. This back surface montage registration processing is executed on condition that the back surface montage key 6d is turned on according to the flow shown in FIG. 10 (SE1). If the rear surface montage key 6d is operated, the registered front part pattern No. Part pattern No. on the back corresponding to Is read (SE2). That is, tentatively, as the front part pattern, the "contour" part pattern NO. If "C" has been registered, the corresponding rear part pattern No. As a result, the part pattern of "C-20" is read, and similarly for the hairstyle other than the contour, the corresponding back part pattern No. To read. And, the parts pattern No. Is stored in each part area of the back surface montage data area 134.

Next, the data synthesizing process described above with reference to FIG. 8 is executed (SE2), and as a result of this SE2 process, the montage of the back of the whole body composed of the read back part pattern of each part 1 is displayed on the display unit 5. If the back surface montage displayed on the first display unit 5 is not similar to the back surface of the target person, S in FIG.
By executing the same discrimination processing as in B4 to SB15 in SE4 to SE7, it is possible to create a montage on the back similar to the target person. Then, when the right side montage similar to the target person is created, OK
Operate the key 6f. Then, the process proceeds from SE8 to SE9, and the back surface montage similar to the target person formed by the above process is displayed on the first display unit 5, and the corresponding part pattern area 131 is the back surface montage data area 134. No. of each part pattern that constitutes this right side montage. Is registered.

The back surface part pattern No. If the back side montage composed of is already similar to the target person, immediately operate the OK key 6f without operating the contour key 7f etc.
Part pattern No. automatically read by. Will be registered as is at SD9. Therefore, in this case, only by operating the rear surface montage key 6d and then the OK key 6f, the rear part pattern No. corresponding to the front surface can be obtained. Can be registered.

On the other hand, S following SA3 in the general flow
At A4, the collective display process is executed. This collective display processing is executed on condition that the collective display key 6e is operated according to the flow shown in FIG. 11 (SF).

Montage data with each side of registration (each part part N
O. ) Is read (SF2). That is, item 1 in FIG.
When the collective display key 6e is operated in a state in which the person registered in No. 1 is designated in advance, each part pattern No. of the front montage data 132 of item 1 is operated. , Right side montage data 133, each part pattern NO. , Each part pattern N of the back surface montage data 132
O. , And each part pattern data on the left side surface registered in SD10 of FIG. 9 is read.

Then, the corresponding part pattern data is read for each surface, that is, for each of the front surface, the right surface, the left surface, and the back surface (SF3). Further, a data combining process for each read surface is performed (SF4), whereby each front, right side, left side, and back side data is combined. Subsequently, a collective display is executed based on the data of each surface subjected to the combining processing (SF5), and as a result, as shown in FIG. 12D, the front surface, right side surface, left side surface, and back surface of this subject are displayed. Are collectively displayed on the first display unit 5.

In the embodiment, the montage on each side is displayed on the display unit 5 as described above, but the montage on each side may be printed out by a printer connected to the electronic notebook.

[0029]

As described above, according to the present invention, when a part pattern on any one surface is designated and registered for each part, at least one part pattern for each part on the corresponding other surface is registered. Enabled to select automatically. Therefore, if you specify and register a part pattern that makes up one surface, when you specify each part pattern that makes up the other surface for each part, the part pattern on the other surface that corresponds to each part pattern on the front It is not necessary to select while searching for blank pages, and you can quickly create and register montages for other corresponding pages. Also,
Since each corresponding part pattern is automatically selected, it is possible to create a montage of the other surface that corresponds to one surface with high accuracy, and thus to quickly and accurately create the montage of the other surface that corresponds to one surface. You can create and register montages.

When a part pattern for each part on one of the left and right faces of the face or body is registered, each part pattern is inverted and created as a part pattern for the other face. Since it is not necessary to store a plurality of part patterns for each side surface, the storage capacity of part patterns can be greatly reduced.
