Abstract:
A system for effecting payment for a print job includes a mobile device interfacing contactlessly with a document machine having a print engine, and a processor in communication with the mobile device. The processor is configured to authorize a print job and effect payment for the print job. A method of effecting payment for a print job includes the step of interfacing contactlessly with a document machine via a mobile device. The method may include receiving a print job via the mobile device, verifying at least one of the identity of the user and the validity of a payment vehicle. If at least one of the identification is verified and the payment vehicle is validated, the method includes authorizing the print job, performing the print job, and deducting payment via a payment processor in accordance with at least one parameter of the print job.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a digital camera and a digital camera printing system applied thereon, which are possible to confirm whether there are flawed photographic images existed or not, and what kinds of the flawed photographic images they are if there are flawed photographic images existed in order to avoid wasting photographic printing paper. The digital camera printing system applied on the digital camera comprises a storing unit for storing photographic images; a determination unit for determining whether the photographic images are of flawless or flawed photographic images; and a print-out executing unit for executing print out of the photographic images stored in the storing unit, and is possible to select executions between a all-print-out mode for printing out all images which include the flawed and flawless photographic images and a list print-out for printing out a list of the flawed photographic images together with the flawless photographic images.
Abstract:
A printing system including a printing device which has a cancel instruction unit that instructs cancellation of a current job being processed from an operation panel, and an image reading device that describes original image data read from an original in a page description language and sends to the printing device, in which the image reading device describes the read original image data in the page description language and sends it as a copy job to the printing device, obtains a job holding state from the printing device and reserves at least the transmission of the copy job to the printing device until the job held by the printing device runs out when it is judged according to the obtained job holding information that the printing device is in a job holding state.
Abstract:
A photographic processing system is disclosed in which subject and other data is stored in a database and such data is automatically linked to photographs taken using either a film or digital camera.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to providing a printing device which allows for user authentication. The printing device may communicate with the authentication device using universal serial bus (USB) protocol, wherein the printing device contains a universal serial bus (USB) host. User authentication may encompass the provision of valid identifying information or presenting sufficient funds as a condition prior to performing a print job or granting access to data.
Abstract:
A digital camera is provided with a memory for storing image data has a proprietary connection for use with a dedicated download device, but is free of any connection interface for connecting to a computer or other storage media, which interfaces are provided in the download device.
Abstract:
A mobile device comprising: a processor for outputting print data; a replaceable printhead cartridge including a photosensor and a printhead for printing onto print media; and a light emitting device for receiving the print data and converting it into a modulated light signal; wherein the photosensor and the light emitting device are positioned and orientated such that, in use, the photosensor receives the modulated light signal, the printhead being configured to print on the basis of the print data encoded in the modulated light signal.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of controlling a digital image processing apparatus that communicates with a device selected by a user from among a plurality of devices. The method includes: displaying a list of the plurality of devices when a cable connect signal for the communication with the selected device is generated; and communicating with the selected device through a preset communication protocol for the selected device when a selection signal indicating the selected device from among the plurality of devices is input by the user.
Abstract:
An apparatus for creating a digital photo album is disclosed. Digital photo albums may be created on the storage media by a method that includes the steps of displaying a group of images, receiving instructions to select a subset of those images and save the subset as an album, compressing the files corresponding to those images and saving the compressed files to the storage medium.
Abstract:
When settings including an arrangement of images in respective image frames on a selected template have been provided and printing has been instructed (S100 to S120), model information is obtained from a printer to judge a storage capacity of a work memory of the printer (S130 and S140), the amount of allocation of the work memory to the images arranged in the respective image frames is judged and resizing of the respective images based on this amount of allocation and an image rotation are carried out (S150 and S160), and resized images are written in a storage medium and print layout information is transmitted to the printer (S170 to S200) . As a result, the total amount of data volumes of the respective images to be transmitted to the printer can be made within the storage capacity of the work memory, thus processing efficiency of various image processes at the printer side can be improved.
Abstract translation:当已经提供了包括所选模板上的各个图像帧中的图像排列的设置并且已经指示了打印(S100到S120)时,从打印机获得模型信息以判断打印机的工作存储器的存储容量 (S130和S140),根据分配量和图像旋转来判断工作存储器对布置在各个图像帧中的图像的分配量,并且调整各图像的大小(S150和 S 160),并且将调整大小的图像写入存储介质,并将打印布局信息发送到打印机(S170至S200)。 结果,可以在工作存储器的存储容量内进行要发送到打印机的各个图像的数据量的总量,从而可以提高打印机侧的各种图像处理的处理效率。
