摘要： An image-audio print has either a single image or a set of images on a first side and an accessible audio data storage means preferably on its backside. The accessible audio data storage means contains an audio data segment associated with the image on single image prints and a set of audio data segments, one for each image on multi-image prints, for example, index prints. A player receives and locates the image-audio print with the accessible audio data storage means accurately positioned in electrical contact with the player apparatus. The player apparatus can play an audio data segment associated with the print from a single image print or by appropriate interaction with the user who selects a audio data segment associated with the selected image on multi-image prints. Preferably, a touchscreen is used to select the image for which the audio is to be played. The player also can record audio into the accessible audio data storage means and copy audio from one print to another. The prints can be manufactured by using a backing substrate into which a recess is created for the audio data storage means and which is, preferably, adhesively attached to the back of ordinary paper print substrate. The backing paper provides not only the recess for the audio data storage means, but also adds heft to the print. Alternatively, the audio data storage means can be formed integrally with a full print-sized back of the print and affixed to the back by hand or automatically. Further, the print can be formed by taking a full print-sized backing with an integral audio data storage means and applying an image to the frontside of it, by inkjet printing, thermal dye transfer, electrophotographic or other hard copy imaging means.

摘要翻译： 图像音频打印具有单个图像或第一侧上的一组图像，并且优选地在其背面上的可访问音频数据存储装置。 可访问的音频数据存储装置包含与单个图像打印上的图像相关联的音频数据段和一组音频数据段，一个用于多图像打印上的每个图像，例如索引打印。 播放器接收并定位图像音频打印，其中可访问的音频数据存储装置准确地定位成与播放器装置电接触。 播放器设备可以从单个图像打印播放与打印相关联的音频数据段，或者通过与在多图像打印上选择与所选图像相关联的音频数据段的用户的适当交互来播放音频数据段。 优选地，触摸屏用于选择要播放音频的图像。 播放器还可以将音频记录到可访问的音频数据存储装置中，并将音频从一个打印复制到另一个。 可以通过使用为音频数据存储装置创建凹部的背衬基板来制造印刷品，并且其优选地粘附到普通纸张印刷基板的背面。 背纸不仅提供了用于音频数据存储装置的凹槽，而且还增加了打印的厚度。 或者，音频数据存储装置可以与打印的完整打印尺寸的背面一体地形成，并用手或自动地固定到背部。 此外，可以通过采用具有整体音频数据存储装置的完整印刷尺寸的背衬并通过喷墨印刷，热染料转印，电子照相或其它硬拷贝成像装置将图像施加到其前侧而形成。
