Abstract: An imaging apparatus capable of outputting a sensed image to a printing apparatus determines the type of PD printer apparatus connected via an interface, and selects the type of image data to be output to the PD printer apparatus on the basis of the determination result. The imaging apparatus directly transmits a JPEG code for a predetermined PD printer apparatus, or decodes and transmits the JPEG code for another printer apparatus.

Abstract: A network configuration file is generated at a host computer and downloaded to a digital camera. This file contains instruction information for communicating with a selected destination via a communications interface. The digital camera includes a “send” button or LCD icon which allows the user to easily transmit one or more images via a wired or wireless communications interface to a desired destination, which among other possibilities may be an Internet Service Provider or a digital photofinishing center. When the user selects this option, the communications port settings, user account specifics, and destination connection commands are read from the network configuration file on the removable memory card. Examples of these settings include serial port baud rate, parity, and stop bits, as well as account name and password.

Abstract: A facsimile machine that is capable of receiving, transmitting and storing both document images and data transfers, identifying the appropriate device the data transfer is intended for, and providing the data transfer to the appropriate device is disclosed. A facsimile machine is provided with one or more ports for coupling with other office equipment, such as, for example, postage meters, postage scales, personal computers, etc. Data transfers from a service center or the like are received by the facsimile machine and identified as to which device is the intended recipient. The facsimile machine can then send the data transfer to the intended device, or store the data transfer for sending to the intended device at a later time. Accordingly, only a single analog telephone line is required for all of the devices coupled to the facsimile machine.

Abstract: A system wherein already-existing computing and memory resources in an electronic camera are used to process an image for printing. Rather than duplicating, in printers, computing and memory resources that are already in digital cameras, significant computing and memory resources need exist only in the camera. A digital camera can support many different printers, each with its own set of parameters such as for example print size, pixel size, colorimetry, sensitometry, and artifacts compensation. Printer parameters are uploaded from the printer to the camera to provide a basis for image processing specific to the associated printer; whereby compensation may be done for variations in the printer characteristics which may occur as a result of printer manufacturing variations, and further so that compensation may be done for different media types which may be installed in the printer.

Abstract: In an object identification system, phototransmitters 100 which are assigned to at least one object send out invisible light having rectilinearity. A control device 200, which is placed near an object, instructs the phototransmitter 100 that is assigned to an object selected by a user to transmit information for uniquely identifying an object or an imaging device. In response to this instruction, the phototransmitter 100 sends out invisible light having first information superposed thereon. An imaging device 300 to be carried around by the user includes, in order to take in an image: a storage section for storing second information for uniquely identifying the object selected by the user or the imaging device itself; a photoreceiving section for receiving invisible light which is sent out from the phototransmitter 100 and extracting first information superposed on the received light; a determination section for determining whether or not to take in an image based on the first information which is sent from the photoreceiving section and the second information which is stored in the storage section; and a photoreceiving device. The imaging device 300 further includes: an image input section for taking in an image representing the surroundings of an object to which a phototransmitter that is currently sending out invisible light is assigned if the determination section has determined to take in an image; and a displaying section for displaying the image representing the surroundings of the object which has been taken in by the image input section. The image input section incorporates a photoreceiving device which has a sensitive range including the wavelength of the invisible light, so that the displaying section can display the object and the light emission by the phototransmitter which is assigned to the object.

Abstract: A burden on a user operating a mobile terminal can be reduced for causing image data to become printable. An image 31 represented by image data obtained by photography or reception of an e-mail message is displayed on a liquid crystal display monitor 13 of a mobile phone together with a Print button 33 for printing processing that causes the image data to become printable. When a user selects the Print button 33, a printing processing menu is displayed for sending the image data to a DPE store providing a network printing service or to an output apparatus such as a printer having an infrared port, for example. When the user selects a desired type of printing processing, the selected printing processing is carried out. In this manner, the user can cause the image data representing the image 31 to become printable with less complex operation.
