摘要:
A system and method for efficient transfer of image data to a service provider comprises a digital image source, an image pump, and a communication path to the service provider. The digital image source may be connected to the image pump using any appropriate communication configuration. Digital image data from the digital image source is transferred to the image pump, which may format the digital image data to conform to requirements of the particular service provider. The image pump may also attach customer account information and user service selections to the digital image data. The image pump may then send the digital image data and any attached information to the service provider. The service provider responsively may perform the requested services and return a finished product to the user.

A multimedia keepsake and the systems for its production are provided. At a kiosk, or using any form of computerized network communication (e.g. a PDA), a gift giver may design a multimedia keepsake in a processor. It may include any or all of a personal image, a text message, and an audio recording, including a voice message. Although these may originate with the gift giver and be uploaded to the processor. The processor then assembles the multimedia keepsake under the gift giver's control. The completed keepsake may be delivered to the gift recipient in physical or electronic form. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a page of an album containing photographs may be provided with touch sensitive areas, so that a viewer may touch such areas and hear prerecorded sound recordings associated with the photograph. Touch sensors are preferably embedded in a cover of the album and aligned indicia are provided on an album page.

The present invention relates to an automatic print frame setting apparatus, comprising: image displaying means 3 for displaying, on a monitor screen, image data used for producing photo prints; size setting means 6 for setting one or more types of print sizes for the same image data; print frame displaying means 7 for displaying, on the monitor screen, a print frame visually representing the set print size together with the image data; and print image data producing means 10 for producing, based on the set print frame, print image data used for producing photo prints, wherein the print frame displaying means 7 includes automatic print frame producing means 9 that simultaneously displays, on the monitor screen, only two print frames, which are a first print frame whose aspect ratio is nearest to a square and a second print frame whose aspect ratio is farthest from a square, when at least three types of print frames are set, and automatically calculates, based on the first print frame and second print frame, print frame data of a print size which is not displayed on the monitor screen.
摘要:
Image data group dividing means is provided for comparing a writing capacity of a writing medium to a data volume of a read image data group that is an aggregation of image data that is read by a user image reading device (image data reading means), and for dividing the read image data group into a plurality of written image data groups that will fit within the writing capacity in case that the data volume is greater, a printer device (image forming means) forms an index of images for each of the written image data groups that are divided by the image data group dividing means, and an image data writing device (image data writing means) writes to the writing medium each of the written image data groups that are divided by the image data group dividing means.
摘要:
A multifunction printer enables the printing of time-based media and is operated via a user interface. The user interface includes a touch screen for accepting command inputs and providing information to a user. Time-based media data is received by the printer from a media source specified via the user interface. A user specifies one or more multimedia processing functions for the printer to apply to the data. The printer performs the specified functions, and previews the output to the user via a display of the user interface. If the user decides to print the previewed output, the user specifies one or more output devices, such that the printer can print conventional printed output and/or to a specified electronic output.

An image data transmission system comprises a first terminal device (110) and a second terminal device (210) included in a communication network. (I) The first terminal device (110) includes first processing means (111) for performing such a first operation upon image data as contains an adding operation to add management information containing copyright information and an embedding operation to embed a watermark on the copyright holder, thereby to generate communication data, and first communication means (112) for transmitting communication data. (II) The second terminal (21) includes second communication means (212) for receiving the communication data, and recording means (215) for recording the image data, to which either the communication data or the management information contained in the communication data is added and in which the watermark is embedded, in a recording medium.
摘要:
The subject application is directed to a system and method for a presence of a portable memory medium. A plurality of graphical elements are first generated on an associated display, each of which correspond to a unique portable data storage medium interface. Device data is then received representing a presence of a portable data storage medium in at least one of the portable data storage medium interfaces. An indicator is then generated on the associated display corresponding to each graphical element associated with a portable data storage medium interface for which a presence of a portable data storage medium is indicated via received device data.
摘要:
A printer includes an acquisition component which acquires image data comprising a set of digital images generated by a digital image generation device, such as a camera. The acquired set of images is stored in memory. A user input device enables a user to select an image category from a plurality of image categories. A processor in communication with the input device and memory identifies a subset of the digital images based on the image category selected by the user. The processor includes a classifier trained to classify images according to image content. A display in communication with the processor displays images in the subset. A marking engine in communication with the processor prints images from the subset selected by the user.
摘要:
A raw data processing apparatus is provided. In the apparatus, it is determined whether monochrome processing has been performed on data (color information) of a plurality of data read out from image data included in thumbnail data, screen nail data, or a simultaneous record JPEG file when an instruction to print raw data is input through an internal communication inter face 69. If it is determined that the monochrome processing has been performed on the data, an instruction is output to a printer unit 20 to perform development processing including monochrome processing of a multifunction printer 10 to generate JPEG-compressed image data and perform print processing based on the JPEG-compressed image data.
摘要:
An image data process apparatus includes a judgment unit and a selection unit. The judgment unit is configured to judge whether or not a directory in which image data is stored is compliant with a DCF standard. The selection unit is configured to select the image data stored in the directory if the directory that has been judged not to be compliant with the DCF standard by the judgment unit. A computer readable medium is encoded with an image data process computer program configured to implement a process of selecting image data that causes a computer to implement a method of selecting image data. Whether or not a directory in which image data is stored is compliant with the DCF standard is judged. The image data stored in the directory that has been judged not to be compliant with the DCF standard during the judging is selected.
