Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a photographic processing system and a photographic film destination determining method for processing a photographic film without joining a photographic film and a photographic film other than the photographic film.

[0002] The photographic processing system referred to here means photographic processing (development of an undeveloped photographic film, exposure of an image of the developed photographic film to photographic paper, cutting of the developed photographic film, and packaging of the developed photographic film into a bag. It refers to a collection of at least two or more devices that perform storage, development of exposed photographic paper, cutting of developed photographic paper (print), return of developed photographic film to a return destination, and the like. These devices forming a set may be formed integrally or connected by using a transporting means or the like to form a set.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a developing process of a photographed undeveloped photographic film and a printing process of printing an image of the developed photographic film on photographic paper to obtain a print (generally referred to as a simultaneous printing process). ),
You want only print processing (generally referred to as negative print processing) that prints the image of developed photographic film on photographic paper to obtain a print, or only develops the unprocessed photographic film that has been photographed (generally develops it). The customer who is the owner of the photographic film who wants to carry out these processes is often requested to order a photographic film processing dealer (hereinafter abbreviated as a dealer). . This photographic film processing store may perform the above-mentioned processing in the store, but in a store that handles a large amount of requests from customers, a customer's request order is further processed by a plurality of photographic film processing stores called a large lab. And place an order with a photographic film processor that processes the photographic film desired by the customer. Also, in rare cases, customers order directly from large laboratories.

[0004] The dealer stores the customer name, the customer's telephone number, the date and time of receiving the requested order, the finish date and time, the film manufacturer name,
Information on whether the order is a simultaneous print order or a negative print order, the identification information of the photographic film frame for which the print process is desired in the case of the negative print process, the number of print processes corresponding to the frame, and the print size (where The print size indicates the width of a long photographic paper on which an image of a photographic film is printed, such as E and L sizes, and information such as the surface quality (gloss, silk) of the photographic paper is recorded. Undeveloped photographic film taken by a customer placed in a bag (all of these information is not necessarily recorded, but is selectively recorded as appropriate, and other information may also be recorded). And developed photographic film to the large laboratory. Also, when the customer orders directly from the large lab, the unprocessed photographic film or the developed photographic film of the customer in such a bag is transferred to the large lab. Usually, the bag contains unprocessed photographic film and developed photographic film for one order of the customer. Here, one order is a unit of an order in which one photographic film is the largest. For example, one 135 photographic film accommodated in a 135 photographic film patrone, or one 135 photographic film is divided based on one 135 photographic film, and is formed within the range of one film of the divided pieces. Set corresponds to one order.

[0005] In a large laboratory receiving the photographed undeveloped photographic film or the developed photographic film in the bag, the large lab processes the photographic film according to the customer's desired order request recorded in the bag. With respect to the photographed undeveloped photographic film, a plurality of photographed undeveloped photographic films are joined to each other using a splice tape, and after being formed into a long roll, photographic film processing is performed. Then, the photographic film, which has been subjected to the photographic film processing according to the order request desired by the customer, is finally put into the above-mentioned bag for each order and returned to the dealer or the customer directly.

[0006]

By the way, a plurality of photographic films joined to each other by using a splice tape are used together with the prints together with the prints when there is finally a print for each order as described above. Since they are put in a bag and returned to the dealer or the customer directly, the spliced tapes are peeled off or the portions of the photographic film to which the spliced tapes are adhered are separated from each other. This work of uncoupling the photographic films is a major cause of reducing the processing efficiency of photographic film processing in a large laboratory. Therefore, it is conceivable to process photographed undeveloped photographic films one by one without joining spliced undeveloped photographic films without using a splice tape. In the processing of photographic film in the current large lab, the photographic film and the above-mentioned bag containing the photographic film are moved in a corresponding manner to obtain information for photographic film processing, Since the photographic films are joined together using splice tape, the order of processing of the joined photographic films is unambiguously determined, so the order of the bags must be consistent with the order of the photographic films once joined. Once determined, the correspondence between the photographic film and the bag will be maintained for the time being. However, when processing photographic films one by one without joining the photographic films,
Since the order of the photographic film to be processed is not uniquely determined, maintaining the correspondence between the photographic film and the bag creates difficulties. As a result, the information recorded in the above-mentioned bag may not be able to be used in the processing of the photographic film processing. Also, when a negative print process is performed in a large lab, the developed photographic films are usually processed one by one without using a splice tape. One order of undeveloped photographic film (1
As in the case of processing each book, it is difficult to maintain the correspondence between the photographic film and the bag, and as a result, the information recorded in the above-described bag is used for the photographic film processing. You may not be able to take advantage of it. Then, there is a big problem that the destination of the photographic film in the photographic processing system cannot be determined.

Are handed over to the large lab together, the large lab receives the information recorded in the lab input form 20c, ie, the dealer specific information, customer specific information, reception number, the simultaneous print processing order or the negative print processing order. It reads information on whether there is any development or only processing, print specification information, information indicating how many photographic films are to be taken, the date and time of receipt, the date and time of finishing, and the like. It is memorized. Here, an example is described in which the information is written in a barcode, the information is read by the slip reader 50, input, and stored.
In the management computer 51, the stored reception number and other information are stored in an associated state. (Note that, in the embodiment of the present invention, a serial number that is valid in a plurality of dealers having business with the large lab is used as a reception number, but a serial number that is valid only in each dealer is used. In this case, the information in which the serial number and the dealer specific information are paired is stored after being associated with the serial number that is valid in the large lab, and the serial number that is valid in the large lab and the other information described above. Are stored in an associated state.

When a serial number that is valid in a large laboratory is not used, information in which a serial number that is valid only in each store and the store-specific information is paired is associated with the other information described above. It is memorized in the state where it was set. For this,
The case where the above-mentioned lab input form 20c and the photographic film containing bag package 42 containing the photographic film containing bag 44 containing the developed short photographic film are delivered to a large laboratory via the following dealers. The same is true for Furthermore, in the case where a photographed undeveloped photographic film or a developed photographic film for which an order for processing has been requested through an unmanned photographic processing order receiving device, equipment, etc. without passing through a dealer is passed to a large lab, When a serial number that is valid only in each unattended photo processing order receiving device, equipment, etc. is used as the serial number, the specific information of each unmanned photo processing order receiving device, equipment, etc., and this serial number are grouped. The stored information is stored after being associated with the serial number that is valid in the large lab, and the serial number that is valid in the large lab and information corresponding to the other information are stored in a state where they are associated with each other. . In addition, when the serial number that is accepted in the large lab is not used, the serial number that can be used only in each unattended photo processing ordering device and equipment, etc. and the specific information of each unattended photo processing order receiving device and equipment etc. Are stored in a state in which the information of the set is associated with information corresponding to the other information. Also, the photographic film storage bag package 42 (the photographic film storage bag 44 or the photographic film storage bag) in which the above-mentioned lab input form 20c and the photographic film storage bag 44 storing the developed short photographic film are packaged through a dealer. When one of the peelable seals of the lab input slip 20c is affixed to the bag package 42), it is recorded in the lab input slip 20c at the large lab. Information, that is, dealer specific information, customer specific information, receipt number, information on whether development processing is an order for simultaneous print processing or negative print processing, print specification information, reception date, finish date, etc. Is the slip reader 50
(However, when the order frame specifying information and the print number information of the order frame are recorded in the lab input form 20c, the order frame specifying information and the print number information of the order frame are also read. ), These pieces of information are stored in the management computer 51. In the management computer 51, the stored reception number and other information are temporarily stored in an associated state.

That is, the reception number, other dealer specific information, customer specific information, information on whether the order is a simultaneous print processing order, a negative print processing order, or only development processing, print specification information, reception date and time, The finish date and time are stored in an associated state. Also, at the same time as or before or after the order frame identification information recorded on the order slip 43 provided on the photographic film storage bag package 42 and the print quantity information of the order frame are read by the order slip reader 53, the photographic film storage is performed. The reception number recorded on the detachable seal recorded on the bag package 42 or the photographic film storage bag 44 is read, and these information are stored in the management computer 51. The management computer 51 stores the received reception number. And other information are temporarily stored in an associated state. Then, the management computer 51 compares the two types of temporarily stored information with each other, and compares the temporarily stored information having the same reception number as one set of information with the reception number and other information. Is stored in an associated state. In other words, the reception number, other dealer specific information, customer specific information, information on whether the processing is a development only processing whether it is a simultaneous print processing order or a negative print processing order, print specification information, order frame specification information, Information on the number of prints of the order frame, the reception date and time, the finish date and time, and the like are stored in an associated state.

Up to this point, the photographed undeveloped photographic film or the developed photographic film, for which an order for processing has been requested through the dealer, has been transferred to the management computer 5 after being transferred to the large laboratory.
1 will be described. The storage of information in the management computer 51 after a photographed undeveloped photographic film or a developed photographic film, for which an order for processing has been requested without going through a dealer, will be briefly described. In this case as well, the same operation as the operation after the photographed undeveloped photographic film or the developed photographic film requested by the customer for the processing order is delivered to the large laboratory is performed.

[0193] The container containing the photographed undeveloped photographic film of the customer to which one of the peelable seals of the lab input slip 20c and the lab input slip 20c is stuck without passing through the dealer. When handed over to the large lab, the information is stored in the management computer 51, but the dealer specific information is not recorded in the management computer 51 because the information is not passed through the dealer. That is, the computer 51 stores the reception number, other customer-specific information, information indicating whether the processing is a development-only processing whether a simultaneous print processing order or a negative print processing order, print specification information, and photographic film information. Information indicating whether or not the image has been shot, the reception date and time, the finish date and time, and the like are stored in an associated state.

Also, the lab input form 20c can be used without going through the dealer.
And a photographic film containing bag package 42 containing a photographic film containing bag 44 containing a developed short photographic film.
(One of the peelable seals of the laboratory input slip 20c is affixed to the photographic film storage bag 44 or the photographic film storage bag package 42.) Although the information is stored in the management computer 51, the information specifying the dealer is not recorded in the management computer 51 because the information is not passed through the dealer as in the above case.
That is, the management computer 51 has a reception number, other customer identification information, information as to whether the processing is a development-only processing whether a simultaneous print processing order or a negative print processing order, print specification information, and order frame specification information. , Information on the number of prints of the order frame, date and time of acceptance, date and time of finishing, etc.
It is stored in an associated state.

The input and storage of information to the management computer 51 when the above-mentioned peelable seal is not affixed to the laboratory input form 20c are the same as described above. Also, the information recorded in the lab input form 20c is read at the dealer and stored in an electronic recording medium, and the stored information is transmitted to a large lab, or stored in a portable electronic recording medium and stored. Regarding the input and storage of information in the management computer 51 when handing it over to a lab, in the former case the information transmitted by the receiving means provided in the management computer 51 is received and stored, and in the latter case the management computer is The information recorded on the portable electronic recording medium is read and stored by the portable electronic recording medium information reading means provided at 51.

By the way, based on the print specification information and the dealer specific information stored in the management computer 51 (if there is no dealer specific information, the specific information of the order receiving apparatus and equipment of the unmanned photo processing and the customer specific information). Alternatively, the management computer 51 may create and store a film destination determination table indicating destinations of undeveloped photographic film and developed photographic film in a large laboratory as shown in FIG. 8 at the top of the table
0, 91 indicates the number of the sorting device described later, the left seven digits indicate the reception number, and 2, 4, 3,. Indicates the destination of the film to be sorted by the sorting device, that is, a number for specifying the exposure device and the like.
45, 38 are destinations of photographic film-containing bag packages sorted by the sorting device, that is, return destinations (handling stores, individuals, order receiving devices for unmanned photographic processing, equipment, etc.).
Are shown. The information described in this table is used by the sorting devices 80 and 91.

The above operation is performed after the photographed undeveloped photographic film or the developed photographic film, for which the customer requests an order for processing, is transferred to the large laboratory.
This is an explanation of the storage of the information at No. 1.

Now, two methods of using the information stored in the management computer 51 in the large laboratory will be described. One is to read the information stored in the management computer 51 described below and record the information on the photographed undeveloped photographic film or the developed photographic film requested by the customer for the read information. This is a method of performing photographic processing in a large laboratory based on the recorded information.
The other is a management computer 51 to be described later.
This is a method of reading information stored in a lab, supplying information to necessary photographic processing steps, and performing photographic processing in a large laboratory based on information required in each step. First, a method of using the information stored in the management computer 51 in a large laboratory will be described.

First, the information stored in the management computer 51 is read out, and the recording of the information on the photographed undeveloped photographic film or developed photographic film requested by the customer for the read information will be described.

[0200] The information is recorded by the reader shown in Fig. 1 on the container 22 for photographed undeveloped photographic film, the photographic film container bag package 42, or the peelable seal attached to the photographic film container bag 44. The reception number is read, and the read reception number is transmitted to the management computer 51 storing the information. The management computer 51 to which the reception number has been transmitted reads necessary information together with the reception number from the information stored corresponding to the same reception number as the reception number. The read information (reception number and information stored in correspondence with the reception number) is attached with a peelable seal on which the read reception number is recorded in order to read the read information. The leading end of the photographed undeveloped photographic film accommodated in the accommodating container 22 (the portion of the photographed undeveloped photographic film locked on the spool shaft of the accommodating container 2 is referred to as a rear end. ), A photographic film storage bag package 42 or a photographic film storage bag 44 to which a peelable seal on which a reception number read to read the read information is recorded is attached. Photographic film stored in the photographic film (strictly speaking, photographic film storage bag package 4
In the case of No. 2, the image is recorded directly or indirectly on the non-image recording portion of the developed photographic film stored in the photographic film storage bag 44 packaged in the photographic film storage bag package 42. As described later, in order to use this recorded information as a break for each order, the recording position of this information is a non-image recording portion of the photographic film and a portion corresponding to the leading end or the trailing end of the photographic film. It is preferably a part corresponding to a part.

As a method for recording this information, the read information is recorded as a two-dimensional bar code on a sheet by the printer 58 shown in FIG. 4A, and the sheet on which the bar code is recorded is described above. And a method of attaching the film to a non-image recording portion at the leading end of a photographed undeveloped photographic film or a non-image recording portion of the developed photographic film. Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the read information is converted into two-dimensional point position information, and the non-image recording portion at the leading end of the photographed undeveloped photographic film and the aforementioned non-image recording portion are converted. There is also a method of recording this point as a hole 60 in a non-image recording portion of the developed photographic film. Further, as shown in FIG. 4C, the read information is converted into two-dimensional information, and an optically unexposed non-image recording portion is provided at the leading end of the photographed undeveloped photographic film. There is also a method of printing the latent image 61 specifically.

The recorded information is also used as a break for each order of the photographic film. That is,
When the information detecting means detects such information, the detection result is used as information indicating one order break of the photographic film. Note that the information in the table shown in FIG. 5 is used instead of the print specification information and the dealer specific information (if there is no dealer specific information, the specific information of the order receiving apparatus and equipment of the unmanned photo processing, the customer specific information). Please note that it may be used.

In the above, the information stored in the management computer 51 is read, and the information of the read information is transferred to the photographed undeveloped photographic film or the developed photographic film at the large laboratory where the customer requests an order for processing. This is an explanation of recording.

[0204] Of the photographed undeveloped photographic film and the developed photographic film on which the read information is recorded,
The photographed undeveloped photographic film is developed by the developing device 55, and the developed image frames of the photographed photographic film are printed on photographic paper by the exposure device 72. The other developed photographic film is also printed on the photographic paper by the exposure device 72. By the way, in the large laboratory described here, the exposure device 72 is provided corresponding to a plurality of print specifications as shown in FIG. More specifically, an exposure device 72 (the uppermost exposure device 72 in FIG. 1) that exposes photographic paper having an EC print specification, and an exposure device 72 (see FIG. 1) that exposes photographic paper having an ESC print specification 1
The middle two-stage exposure apparatus 72) and the exposure apparatus 72 for exposing photographic paper of the LC print specification (the three-stage exposure apparatus 7 in FIG. 1).
2), an exposure device 72 (lower exposure device 72 in FIG. 1) for exposing photographic paper of LSC print specifications is provided. When the specific exposure device 72 exposes a plurality of print specifications to photographic paper, the present invention can be implemented even when an exposure device is not provided for each print specification. For the photographed undeveloped photographic film and developed photographic film on which the read information is recorded, the print specification information recorded on each is detected, and the photographic paper with the same print specification as the detected print specification information is detected. The destination is determined by the exposure device 72 that performs the exposure, and the image frame is exposed by the exposure device 72.

In order for the exposure of the image frame to be performed by the exposure device 72 capable of exposing the photographic paper having the same print specification as the detected print specification information, the photographic film on which the above-described read information is recorded is required. Must be sorted for each print specification, so the large lab described here is provided with a sorting device. The sorting device has two positions in the photographic processing system. One is a pre-process of the developing device 55, and the other is a post-process of the developing device 55. Here, a large laboratory system in which the former sorting device is placed in front of the developing device 55 will be described.

In this case, the photographed undeveloped photographic film and the developed photographic film on which the above-mentioned read information is recorded are automatically conveyed to a sorting device by a conveying device (not shown). It may be carried by a person without a transport device. The sorting apparatus is provided with a discriminating means for selectively discriminating between print specification information and information on whether the order is a simultaneous print processing order, a negative print processing order, or only development processing. In this embodiment,
Although this determination means is provided in the sorting device, it is not necessarily provided in the sorting device, and may be provided in, for example, the above-described transport device. The print specification information in the information recorded on the conveyed photographic film and the information as to whether the order is a simultaneous print processing order, a negative print processing order, or a development only processing order are read by this determination means. Based on this information, the sorting device sorts the photographed undeveloped photographic film and the developed photographic film having the read information. As a means for sorting, a course switching gate or the like is used, but known means is used as appropriate. The course switching gate sorts the photographic film into an EC course, an ESC course, an LC course, an LSC course, a development-only course, and the like.

[0207] Regarding how to sort photographic films, if the order is a simultaneous print processing order, the EC course, ESC course, L
Sorted into either C course or LSC course. EC course, ESC course, LC according to the detected print specifications for negative print processing orders
Course and LSC course.
Items for which only development is processed are sorted into development only courses.

EC course, ESC course, LC course,
Photographed undeveloped photographic films that have been sorted into any one of the LSC courses and are ordered for simultaneous printing are automatically conveyed to the developing device 55 by the conveying devices 85 provided for each of the courses. The transfer to the developing device 55 may be carried by a person without using the transfer device 85. The developing device 55 is provided for each transport device 85 (only one developing device 55 is shown in FIG. 2 for the sake of convenience, but originally five devices are provided. Of these, one is sorted into a development-only course. It is provided for developing the undeveloped photographic film that has been taken.), And automatically develops and discharges the photographed undeveloped photographic film transported by the transport device.

[0209] EC course, ESC course, LC course,
The developed photographic film, which is a negative print processing order sorted into one of the LSC courses, is automatically conveyed to the developing device 55 by the above-described conveying device. The developed photographic film transported to the developing device 55 is passed through a transport path (not shown) provided in the developing device 55 where processing related to development is not performed, and is automatically out of the developing device 55. Is discharged.

The developing device 5 discharged out of the developing device 55
The photographic film developed by the developing device 5 and the photographic film that has only passed through the developing device 55 are exposed by the transporting device 86 provided for each developing device 55 to the exposing device 72 corresponding to the developing device. Transported to The transfer to the exposure device 72 may be performed by input without using the transfer means. For example, the undeveloped photographic film sorted into the EC course is developed and discharged by the developing device 55, and then is automatically conveyed by the conveying means 86 to the exposure device 72 which can expose photographic paper of EC print specifications. . Further, for example, after the developed photographic film sorted into the LSC course is discharged from the developing device 55, it is automatically conveyed by the conveying means 86 to the exposure device 72 capable of exposing photographic paper of the LSC print specification. .

[0211] The developed photographic film, which is a negative print processing order classified into any one of the EC course, the ESC course, the LC course, and the LSC course, is automatically sent to the developing device 55 by the above-described transport device. Instead of being conveyed, it may be conveyed directly to the corresponding exposure device 72 using a convey means or by input, which is preferable in that the configuration of the developing device 55 is simplified. The image frame of the photographic film conveyed to the exposure device 72 is exposed to photographic paper by the exposure device 72 with desired print specifications. A reading means 95 for reading the above-mentioned information recorded on the photographic film is provided somewhere between the entrance of the photographic film of the exposure device 72 and the exposure stage. The information that the above-mentioned information recorded on the film was read is recorded on the photographic film 1
It is used as information indicating order breaks.

When the print specification read by the reading means 95 is different from the print specification set by the exposure apparatus 72, the exposure device 72 expresses the error occurrence by an error occurrence expression device for notifying the occurrence of the error. The photographic film on which the generation has occurred is subjected to a discharge process or the like so that the photographic film is not printed.

For the photographic film determined to be a negative print processing order, the exposure device 72 determines a desired frame for the order frame based on the order frame identification information read by the reading means and the number of prints of the order frame. Exposures are performed. On the photographic film for which printing has been completed, the conditions exposed by the exposure device 72 are recorded for each order by exposure condition recording means provided in the exposure device 72. However, this exposure condition recording means is not necessarily an exposure device 7
It is not necessary to be provided in the inside 2, for example, it may be provided in a storage device or a packaging device described later. The recorded exposure conditions will be used the next time the photographic film is exposed in this large laboratory.

A photographic film which has been exposed for the first time in the photographic processing system of this embodiment is exposed under the above-mentioned initial exposure conditions when the photographic film is subsequently exposed by the same photographic processing system. . By doing so, the print image obtained by the exposure based on this photographic film this time and the print image that will be obtained by the next exposure based on this photographic film can be obtained as substantially the same print images. As the exposure condition recording means, means for attaching a sheet on which the exposure conditions are recorded to a photographic film is used. However, when the exposure condition recording means is provided in a storage device or a packaging device described later, the sheet on which the exposure conditions are recorded by the filling device is affixed to a photographic film storage bag. The exposure condition is stored in the management computer 51 in association with the reception number.
The exposure condition read from the management computer 51 based on the receipt number may be recorded on the photographic film having the corresponding receipt number.

The exposure device 72 is loaded with a roll of long photographic paper. During exposure, the photographic paper is exposed while it is long. The photographic paper is given one order of separation information at the time of exposure, developed by the automatic developing machine 73, and discharged. The ejected long photographic paper is cut for each frame by a cutting device 96 provided near the long photographic paper discharge section of the automatic developing machine 73. The cutting device 96 is provided with detecting means for detecting one-order delimiter information and a counter for the number of cut frames, and the detection information from this detecting means and the count number from the counter are set close to the cutting device 96.

One order of prints stored in one bin 76a of the sorter 76 and one order of short photographic film stored in the above-described photographic film storage bag are transported by transport means provided for each sorter 76. The prints for one order and the short photographic film for one order are conveyed to a packaging device 12 for packaging a short-length photographic film for one order in a photographic film storage bag package by a conveyance means 88 provided for each of the storage device 87 and the storage device 11. The print of one order from the sorter and the short photographic film from the storage device 11 may be manually transferred to the packaging device 12. In this embodiment, five packaging devices 12 for EC, ESC, LC, LSC, and development only are provided (only one is shown in FIG. 1). The short-length photographic film of one order stored in the print and photographic film storage bag for one order is conveyed while maintaining the order of printing in the exposure device 72. Therefore, the packaging device operates one order in the order of conveyance. And the short photographic film for one order stored in the photographic film storage bag is packed in a photographic film storage bag package in a corresponding state.

The undeveloped photographic film sorted into the development only course by the above-described sorting apparatus is automatically or automatically transferred to the developing apparatus 55 for the present only course provided uniquely to the transfer apparatus 85 by the transfer apparatus 85. When the transfer device 55 is not used, the transfer device 55 is transferred to the developing device 55 manually. The developing device 55 automatically develops the photographed undeveloped photographic film transported by the transport device 85 or a person and discharges the film to the outside. The discharged long photographic film is cut into a short photographic film having a predetermined image frame by a cutting device (not shown) provided in contact with the developing device 55.

As described above, the information stored in the management computer 51 is read, and the information regarding the read information is recorded on the photographed undeveloped film or the developed photographic film requested by the customer for processing. This is a method for performing photo processing in a large laboratory based on the information obtained.

Next, the information stored in the management computer 51 is read out, the information is supplied to the photographic processing steps requiring the information, and the photographic processing in the large laboratory is performed based on the information required in each step. The method will be described. It should be noted that the information stored in the management computer 51 described above is read, and information on the read information is recorded on a photographed undeveloped film or a developed photographic film requested by the customer for processing, and the recorded information is recorded. The description is given below, avoiding duplication with the description of the method of performing photo processing in a large laboratory based on information.

In the above-described method, the container 22 for the photographed undeveloped photographic film, the photographic film

Container 22 for photographed undeveloped photographic film, photographic film bag package 42
Alternatively, the image is recorded on an undeveloped photographic film or a developed photographic film stored in the photographic film bag 44. In a process in a large lab requiring information stored in the management computer 51, a reception number recorded on an undeveloped photographic film or a developed photographic film is read, and the reception number is sent to the management computer 51. The information stored in the management computer 51 in association with the reception number is read, and the read information is stored in the management computer 5.
The information is sent to and used from the process in the large laboratory that needs the information. In addition, it is preferable that only the information required by the process in each large lab is sent from the management computer 51 to the process in each large lab. The steps in the large laboratory that require the information stored in the management computer 51 include a step of determining whether the order is a simultaneous print processing order, a negative print processing order, or a development only order, and a print specification. A step of requiring order frame identification information and information on the number of prints of an order frame in a negative print processing order, and a step of determining a return destination of a product whose order has been processed.

As described above, the information stored in the management computer 51 is read, the information is supplied to the photographic processing steps requiring the information, and the photographic processing in the large laboratory is performed based on the information required in each step. It is an explanation of a method.

In the description so far, a photographic film is used as a recording medium on which an image is recorded. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a recording medium on which an image is electronically recorded may be used. For example, an electronic recording medium on which an electronic image captured by an electronic imaging camera is recorded can be handled in the same manner as a developed photographic film in a negative print processing order, or a photographic film or a negative print processing order in a developed simultaneous print order can be processed. The image recorded on the developed photographic film is electronically captured and recorded on an electronic recording medium, and the electronic recording medium is developed for a photographic film ordered for simultaneous printing and a developed photograph for ordered negative printing. You may treat it like a film. However, in these cases, an exposure apparatus that can perform a printing process based on an electronic recording medium is used. In such a case, the order receipt 20 described above is
Information on whether or not to record the frame image recorded on the photographic film in the photographic film storage bag package 42 on an electronic recording medium,
Information indicating which frame image of the plurality of frame images recorded on the photographic film is to be recorded on the electronic recording medium is recorded, and the recorded information is based on the order receipt 20 and the photographic film storage bag described above. Like the information recorded on the package 42, it is used for photo processing in a large laboratory.

Although omitted in the above description, FIG. 6 shows the information stored in the management computer 51 and the information recorded on the photographic film, the results of the processing in each step, and the like. The information may be recorded on a recording medium, and the recording medium may be returned to the customer along with the processed photographic film, print, or the like, which is a product processed and produced in each process. FIG. 6 shows one embodiment of the recording medium. The recording medium is not particularly limited as long as it is a paper on which characters and images can be recorded, and it is preferable to use a material that matches the recording characteristics of the recording apparatus. Paper used for recording devices,
Printing paper and the like are included.

The information recorded on the recording medium includes the shop-specific information and the customer-specific information (customer name and telephone number in FIG. 6) relating to the processing of the photographic film, the simultaneous print processing order or the negative print processing order. Information, whether it is development only processing, print specification information, order frame identification information, information on the number of prints of the order frame, information indicating how many photographic films are taken, photo processing fee information, date and time of receipt , Finish date and time.

In this embodiment, an example of paper is shown as the recording medium. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the recording medium may be recorded on an electronic recording medium (for example, a floppy disk or a mini disk).

The recording medium on which this information is recorded may be combined with the developed photographic film or print before leaving the large laboratory. It is preferable that they are combined by the packaging device 12 in the sense of simplification of the system. In addition, the developed photographic film or print may be compared with the recording medium by reading the reception number recorded on the recording medium by the reading means provided in the packaging device 12.

Hereinafter, a method for manufacturing the recording medium will be described. Mainly, when the information stored in the management computer 51 is read, information is supplied to the photographic processing steps that require the information, and the photographic processing in the large laboratory is performed based on the information required in each step. The method of manufacturing the recording medium described above will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, regarding the method of manufacturing a recording medium when performing photographic processing in a large lab based on information recorded on photographic film,
This will be described in the description of FIG.

First, FIG. 7A will be described. The automatic developing device 55 for the undeveloped photographic film includes information on the result of the development processing of the photographic film, for example, how many photographic films have been processed with the receipt number, and if necessary, how many photographs are taken. The information such as whether or not the film is transmitted to the management computer 51 by the transmission means (although omitted in the above description, the automatic developing device 55 reads the record of the information recorded on the photographic film. A reading means (not shown) is provided for reading information as to whether or not the photographic film is to be taken.The management computer 51 associates a reception number with information as to how many photographic films are to be taken. If stored, the management computer 51 stores information such as the number of shots of the processed photographic film. It is not necessary to transmit.) From the print making process mainly including the exposure device 72 and the photographic paper automatic developing device 73, as a result of the printing process, for example, how many prints are made from the photographic film having the number of the receipt number. Information on how many prints are made for which order frames from the photographic films whose reception numbers are the reception numbers is transmitted to the management computer 51 by the transmission means. By the way, the reception number recorded on the photographic film in the print making step is read by the above-mentioned reading means 95, and information on how many prints have been made from the photographic film of the reception number is given in each exposure. The number of exposures can be obtained by counting the number of exposures in the device 72 or by counting the number of cuts per order using a counter provided in the above-described cutting device 96. The result of these submitted development and print processing (of course, if you order negative print,
The result of the development processing is not transmitted, and the result of the print processing is not transmitted in the case of the development only processing). The information already stored in the storage unit of the management computer 51 in association with the reception number, It is stored in the storage means of the management computer 51 in association with the reception number.

In the case of a photographic processing system in which the order of the storage state of information already stored in the management computer 51 in association with the reception number is the same as the order of photographic film processing. It is not always necessary to make the correspondence based on the reception number, and the processing results may be stored in the storage means of the management computer 51 in the order of processing.

Then, the development status of one order photographic film in the film development process, the exposure status of one order photographic film in the print creation process, and the development of the print created based on this one order photographic film. The control unit 402, which has grasped the processing status such as the status of the print creation process such as the status, transmits the processing status relating to this one-order photographic film to the management computer 51. The development status of a one-order photographic film is, for example, a state in which development of a one-order photographic film having a certain reception number is to be started, or a one-order development of a one-order photographic film having a certain reception number. The exposure status of a photographic film of one order is, for example, a status in which exposure of a photographic film of one order having a certain reception number is to be started or a certain reception status Such as that the exposure of one order of photographic film of one order having a number has been completed,
Further, the development status of a print created based on one order of photographic film includes, for example, a situation in which development of photographic paper exposed based on one order of photographic film is started or one order of photographic paper is started. For example, the development of one order of photographic paper exposed on the basis of the photographic film is completed.

Good. This information processing includes a process of calculating a development fee based on information of a result of the film development process, a process of calculating a print fee from a result of the print process, and the like. In the above description, an example in which the results of the development and print processing are stored in the storage unit of the management computer 51 has been described.
As described above, the information may be stored in the storage unit 403 provided separately from the management computer 51. In this case, information recorded on a photographic film may be used instead of the information stored in the management computer 51. In this case, the control means 403 for controlling this storage means
