    Abstract: A digital camera system is provided for capturing pictures of scenery or scanning the text of a document. A lens of the digital camera system receives light from a scene, and a conversion device defines a first set of digital data based on this light. A scanning mechanism included within the digital camera system scans a document as the system is passed over the surface of the document and produces a second set of data that defines an image of the document. An audio signal interface included within the digital camera system receives an audio message and defines a third set of digital data based on the audio message. A system controller stores the first, second, and third sets of data into a storage device. If desired, the first and second sets of data may be merged together to define a combined image depicting at least a portion of the scene defined by the first set of digital data and depicting at least a portion of the document defined by the second set of digital data.

    Abstract: A hand held mobile phone device with integral internal print apparatus, the device including a mobile telephone unit for transmitting and receiving signals, processing means for processing the received and transmitted signals into a printable form, a printhead and ink distribution unit assembly attached to the processing means for printing out the processed signals onto a print media, and print media feed means to feed print media received from a supply external of the phone device to the printhead for printing of the processed signal information thereon. Preferably, the printhead is a page width ink jet printhead formed as a printhead chip using MEMS processing techniques. In a preferred form, the printer phone may be used with a separate print media dispensing device that includes a print media storage region having a dispensing outlet and a printer phone cradle to support the printer phone and align its print media inlet with the dispensing outlet of the print media storage region. A dispensing ejector mechanism is also provided that is operable to eject a predetermined quantity of print media through the dispensing outlet and into the printer phone print media inlet for engagement with the associated print media feed means located in the phone.

    Abstract: A computer accessory according to one embodiment of the present invention may comprise a housing and an icon pointing system mounted within the housing. The icon pointing system generates icon pointing data during selected times in order to control a position of an icon associated with a host computer system connected to the computer accessory. An imaging system mounted within the housing produces image data during selected times, the image data being representative of an image of a selected object. A data transmission system operatively associated with the icon pointing system and the imaging system transmits the icon pointing data and the image data to the host computer.
