In a method and a device for moving a cursor on a display or similar screen to point to one of a plurality of selectable areas displayed on the display, data recorded in a data recording medium is read, and coordinates of the position of the selected area are identified on the basis of the data thus read. In response to a signal by holding an inputting device, a direction in which the inputting device is manipulated is detected and direction data is output. Coordinates of the position of the cursor are updated by replacing them with the coordinates of the position of the selected area located in the direction detected. The image data of the cursor is generated on the basis of the coordinates of the position of the cursor and updated. The image data for displaying is processed to display the image data.

An image registration server stores encryption keys of respective ones of a plurality of client terminals. Image data is encrypted by the image registration server using the encryption key corresponding to the client terminal to which the image data is applied. The encrypted image data is applied to the client terminal via a server. The client terminal has a decryption key stored within so that only a client terminal that is duly authorized can decrypt encrypted image data. Other client terminals that are not duly authorized cannot decode the image data. This makes it possible to prevent unlawful use of image data even if the image data has been intercepted.

An individual not accustomed to operating a computer can obtain, with comparative ease, a modified image that is the result of modifying an image obtained by an image sensing operation. A subject is photographed by a video camera, and an image representing the subject is displayed in a main display area of a display unit. A modification target area is set in the main display area in advance, and icons representing methods of modification are displayed in an auxiliary display area. When one of these icons is selected, the image within the modification target area is modified by the selected modification method. If necessary, the user may move so that the portion of the subject image that the user wishes to be modified will fall within the modification target area.

In the form of print ordering wherein photograph image data are recorded in a recording medium and brought in to a photographic service provider, a customer can specify on a personal computer a variety of printing conditions for a photographic printer installed in the photographic service provider. A printer driver for the photographic printer of the photographic service provider is installed in a personal computer of a customer. The printer driver receives an input specifying the variety of printing conditions by displaying a printing condition setting screen on a monitor of the personal computer via image processing application software. The image processing application software converts resolution upon necessity in response to the printing conditions, transfers the image data after the conversion and an image of a print paper, both of which are then displayed on a finish confirmation screen by the printer driver. If a confirmation result is OK, the printer driver records the specified printing conditions as ordering information in a recording medium or transfers the ordering information to a network.

When a picture print is generated by editing a picture image recorded on a film, the print in accordance with a customer's requirements is generated by simple operations and at a low cost. Low resolution image data of a picture image read from a film are recorded in a recording medium, in addition to software for image editing, and provided to a customer so that the customer can carry out editing operations on the picture using a personal computer or the like. When a print is ordered, editing instruction information generated by recording the operations the customer has carried out for the editing is received from the customer via the recording medium. Based on the editing instruction information, a scanner reads a film in high resolution and a printer outputs a print after automatic editing on the image data.

An information recording medium including a disc-shaped substrate and a recording layer for optically recording and reproducing information with a laser beam where the recording layer is disposed on the substrate. The surface of the substrate is provided with a tracking guide including grooves having a depth of 200 to 600 angstroms and a width of 0.3 to 0.6 .mu.m. A method of optically recording information and a method of optically reproducing recorded information using the information recording medium are also disclosed.

摘要:
When a picture image recorded by a digital camera is reproduced, a high quality picture image is immediately reproduced without repetitive test prints for enhancing a picture quality or repetitive minor adjustments based on a confirmation via a monitor. Recording is carried out by a digital camera having a function of adding recording information representing a recording condition (a recording information adding unit) to digital image data obtained by the recording. A set-up processing unit in an image reproducing apparatus carries out image processing on the image data obtained by the recording for enhancing a picture quality using the recording information added to the image data, and the image reproducing apparatus reproduces the image data in the form of a print or a display on a monitor.
摘要:
A virtual photo album is created in conformity with a title given to a large number of images such as the images of flowers, the images of animals and the images of a journey. These images are recorded on film and a title is selected for a set of these images that have a subject in common. Data representing the image of a mount, an ornamental image and background music corresponding to the selected tire are stored on a large-scale storage medium such as an optical disk together with the image data. At playback, images belonging to the same title are pasted on a mount specified by the title. An album of images having a common title can thus be produced. In another aspect, images produced by a user are printed by a photo processing laboratory system at a comparatively high speed. Image data are stored on a digital medium, and a directory “DFS” managed by a directory “ROOT”, a directory “INFO” managed by the directory “DFS”, and a directory “ODR” managed by the directory “INFO” are created on the digital medium storing the image data. An image represented by image data that have been stored on the digital medium is processed by the user's own filing system, and ordered image data representing this processed image are stored in the directory “ODR”. The ordered image data that have been stored in the directory “ODR” are read out and printed by the laboratory system. This makes rapid printing possible in a comparatively simple manner.

In a user device which permits access to a server, an image suitable for the user device is displayed. Various user devices such as a portable telephone set, a personal digital assistant, a notebook personal computer, and a personal computer permit access to the server. The server stores data representing an image suitable for each of the devices. The data representing the image suitable for the user device which has accessed the server is read out of the server. Data representing the image read out is transmitted to the user device from the server. In the user device, the data is received, and an image suitable for the user device is displayed.
