摘要:
A method of integrating photographic imaging products and services functionality with non-imaging functionality using automatic teller machine (ATM) functions for providing financial transactions in a single kiosk is disclosed. This invention provides the consumer with the flexibility to generate imaging products and conduct imaging services or perform ATM-related transactions independent of one another; to incorporate images into producing customized financial instruments at the kiosk; to access financial institution services to store or retrieve images or documents as part of providing either imaging products/services or ATM financial instruments; and to utilize the customer's financial accounts and/or financial instruments as a means of payment for the products/services rendered at the kiosk. The present invention leverages the infrastructure, equipment and networking capabilities of both sets of functionality to provide an economy of scale and an increased value of differentiation not currently available.

摘要:
In an image record organization method, camera, and system, a plurality of image records are provided and a value index is determined for each of the image records. The image records are classified into unacceptable records having respective value indexes within a predetermined threshold and acceptable records having respective value indexes beyond the threshold. The unacceptable records are demarcated from the acceptable records.
摘要:
An external memory system for use with an imaging system, and methods for archiving digital content are provided. The external memory system has a communications link adapted to exchange data with the imaging system; an archival memory device interface adapted to store data using an archival memory; and an external memory system processor adapted to automatically obtain content data files from the imaging system that have not yet been stored by the external memory system, to prepare the obtained content data files for archival storage and to cause the archival memory device interface to store the prepared content data files without guidance from an ancillary device; wherein said external memory system processor maintains a record of each content data file that has been stored using the external memory system and wherein the external memory system processor uses the record to identify content data files that have not yet been stored.
摘要:
A system and method of processing a digital image for user assessment of an output image product intended to be generated using the digital image. The method comprises the steps of: (a) accessing the digital image using an imaging device having a viewing member; (b) selecting the output image product intended to include the digital image; (c) digitally modifying at least a portion of the digital image using the imaging device to produce a substantially accurate representation of at least a portion of the output image product; and (d) displaying, using the viewing member, for assessment by the user, the substantially accurate representation of the at least a portion of the output image product.
