    摘要: A digital picture frame device is provided with image acquisition capabilities. The digital picture frame device may include a display device mounted on a hinged lid. An image acquisition device may be located beneath the hinged lid. The image acquisition device may, for example, be a line scanner in which successive scan line images of an object are obtained as the scan head moves in relation to the object being scanned. Alternatively, the image acquisition device may be a two dimensional image acquisition device. In this manner, an image of a desired object can be acquired and displayed on the digital picture frame device without the need for a separate image acquisition device. Alternatively, the digital picture frame device may be provided without a hinged lid. In this case, an object to be scanned may be fed into the digital picture frame device through a slot. A drive mechanism, e.g., drive rollers, may be provided to move the object through the digital picture frame device past a stationary line scanner device or to a position adjacent a two dimensional image acquisition device.

    摘要: A photoelectric scanner screen device wherein the object to be scanned is illuminated by light from an external light source such as a CRT of a monitor associated with a desktop computer. A scanner screen component of the device is mechanically associated with the monitor. The scanner screen component is comprised of layers of translucent material such that a document to be scanned can be positioned between a lid layer and a platen layer while the scanner screen's photodetectors are positioned between the platen layer and a rear layer. An external computer, to which the CRT is attached, will carry out the processing required for imaging the object to be scanned.
