摘要:
An image processing apparatus for converting different television standard signals includes an image pickup apparatus for selectively outputting an image signal of one of (i) a first television scheme and (ii) a second television scheme having a larger number of pixels than the first television scheme. An image pickup device is provided having a number of pixels corresponding to the first television scheme. A memory is provided for storing an output image signal from the image pickup device at a frequency corresponding to the first television scheme. An interpolation signal generating circuit is provided for generating an interpolation signal by adding a constant signal to a television signal corresponding to the second television scheme for compensating for an output of the second television signal. Video signal forming circuitry is also provided for forming a video signal by combining the signal read out from the memory and the interpolation signal generated by the interpolation signal generating circuitry.

An electronic still camera comprises a solid state image pickup element including photosensitive elements, a vertical transfer CCD and a horizontal transfer CCD, and a read drive circuit for the solid state image pickup element. Before the start of reading the signal from the solid state image pickup element, at least one pulse is applied to the horizontal transfer CCD to remove electric charges of the interior of the CCD to nullify dark current. The above-described pulse applied to the horizontal transfer CCD before the start of reading the signal from the solid state image pickup element lies in an image pickup period, and the frequency of the above-described pulse of this time is less than the frequency in the read period.

This invention has as its object to allow an authentication process that avoids unnecessary information from being stored in a digital camera irrespective of whether or not a digital camera connected to the printer has a direct print function. To this end, in this invention, in an early stage of connection between a digital camera DSC and PD printer, the PD printer side requests an object which contains a keyword as authentication information of those which are stored and held by the DSC (S29). As a result, after it is determined the returned information contains authentication information, the printer notifies the DSC of its own authentication information (S33).

A system, method and computer program product for arranging digital data in a file in an apparatus-implemented system, is disclosed. One or more pages are generated, where each page includes: i. a mode field containing a camera operation mode, ii. an image data field containing image data, iii. an offset field containing an offset to a next page in the file, and a total size field containing a page size. Each page is recorded in the file using the same format.

A control system comprises a plurality of peripheral devices represented as objects, and a controller connectable to the plurality of peripheral devices via a common communication line for unitarily controlling the plurality of peripheral devices. The controller is arranged to be connected to an arbitrary number of peripheral devices selected from among the plurality of peripheral devices, read control information stored in the arbitrary number of peripheral devices via the communication line into a predetermined memory area of the controller in a predetermined format so that the controller can control the arbitrary number of peripheral devices. The controller is also arranged to issue a command and transmit the command to each of the arbitrary number of peripheral devices via the communication line.

This invention completes an authentication procedure early when it is ready to directly communicate with a printer, and serves as a user interface device of a direct print system. To this end, when a digital camera DSC is ready to directly communicate with a printer, and receives from the printer an inquiry about objects stored and held by the camera, it assigns an object which contains a word serving as authentication information of those stored and held in the DSC to a first handler (S52), assigns other objects (image data and the like) to subsequent handlers (S53), and sends that assignment result to the printer (S54).
摘要:
Image pickup control apparatus and method displays, on a screen, an image picked up a camera and transmitted through a communications system. A plurality of control devices may control the camera through the communications system. When one of the control devices is in control of the camera through the communications system, the other control devices are inhibited from controlling the camera.
