An assembly for transferring information to and/or from flexible sheet media in a highly advantageous curved configuration is disclosed. The sheet material includes a length and a width defining first and second opposing surfaces. The assembly includes support means for supporting the sheet the curved configuration across its width, having the first surface inwardly oriented with respect to the curved configuration. Thereafter, moving means moves the flexible sheet material so supported in a direction along a read/write path generally parallel to the sheet material length and transverse to the direction of curvature. A read/write arrangement is provided which is configured for reading and/or writing information across the width of the first surface of the sheet as the sheet is moved along the path in the curved configuration. In one feature, means is provided for rotationally moving the read/write arrangement in a predetermined way in the housing such that the read/write arrangement is in a confronting relationship with the first, inwardly oriented surface and cooperates with the movement provided by the sheet material moving means so as to cause the read/write arrangement to sequentially read information from and/or write information to the inwardly oriented, first surface of the sheet as the read/write arrangement traverses the width of the flexible sheet material while the latter is on the read/write path in the curved configuration. In another feature, a read and/or write operation may be performed on the second, outwardly oriented surface of the sheet material.

A photography booth apparatus and a picture making method which enables a person subjects to purchase a high quality self-portrait photograph from an unattended kiosk in a retail environment. The apparatus includes a computer system for operatively connecting and controlling all elements of the apparatus; payment apparatus connected to the computer system; a digital camera operatively connected to the computer system; a mirror interposed between the subject and the digital camera through which images are captured for further processing in the computer system; a display monitor operatively connected to the computer system for presenting guidance to the subject by presenting choice selections and for displaying tentative portraits for approval by the subject; and photograph printing means operatively connected to the computer system for providing portraits of and to the subject. The resulting self-portrait has the attributes of selectable pose, selectable background, selectable print size and/or selectable border.

An image reading apparatus can read images on film and is capable of alternating between 35 mm film and a roll of film. The apparatus includes a light source, a photoelectric converter, a film transport that transports film past a reading position to which the light is emitted and the photoelectric converter reads, and two insertion openings. The light source illuminates the film so that the photoelectric converter can read the illuminated images and output an image signal. The film transport transports the film to the reading position. A first insertion opening is used for inserting a roll of film (e.g., in a cartridge), while a second insertion opening is used for inserting 35 mm film (e.g., on a film mount).

The image print method performs image processing on image data acquired, in accordance with information on the image processing based on a request from a customer, sends the image data subjected to the image processing to a periodic distribution center which distributes a plurality of periodic deliveries via communication circuits together with information on an image destination based on the request from the customer, and outputs on a sheet a print image corresponding to the processed image data sent to the periodic distribution center as part of a periodic delivery destined for a destination conforming to the image destination specified by the information on the image destination based on the request from the customer or as an accompaniment for the periodic delivery.
摘要:
The present invention provides an imaging apparatus in which an acquiring system supported by an AVHDD as an external storing device is detected, either an FCP system, an RT system or a WT system is selected, latest battery capacity information and storage capacity information of the AVHDD is acquired by using either the FCP system, RT system or WT system and conditions of a battery and a storage capacity of the AVHDD are informed to the user. By providing such an imaging apparatus, the user can recognize the conditions of the battery and the storage capacity of the AVHDD, thereby preventing recording of a photo-taken image from being become impossible suddenly.

The method in general enables an individual to verify personal attendance at an event and to simultaneously record an event for permanent transfer onto a souvenir acquired at the event. In general, the method will transfer the image of an individual's ticket and/or ticket stub along with personalized information which may further include an event summary onto a souvenir available for purchase at the event.
摘要:
A method of correcting output image squareness in a laser printer system having a Raster Output Scanning (ROS) device with a pivotal mounting. The method includes printing a test pattern that includes a plurality of markers printed in a predetermined geometric arrangement and calculating a skew angle based on the measured distances, preferably using the Law of Cosines. The ROS device is then automatically rotated by an amount sufficient to correct the skew angle. The ROS rotation is performed automatically by an adjustment system connected to the ROS. The method optionally includes a scanner for scanning the test pattern image and making the measurements automatically via a program configured to analyze the scanned image.
摘要:
A photographic data input device inputs photographic data of a film that occurs at the time of photography and outputs a photographic data signal. An image reading device reads the image on the film, and a control device establishes the reading conditions of the image reading device based upon the photographic data signal.

An image management apparatus that transmits image data to an image processing apparatus is provided. The image management apparatus includes a sound input unit that inputs voice message relating to image data photographed by a digital camera. When one of the image data is selected and a voice message relating to the selected image data is input via the sound input unit, a translation unit of the image management apparatus automatically extracts keywords from the voice message. The translation unit determines one of the keywords as a title, and sets the title as a file name of the image data. The extracted keywords are set as data for searching images, and transmitted together with the selected image data to the image processing apparatus.
