Abstract:
An image retrieval system for retrieving a plurality of images recorded in a recording medium, records data concerning operations and processing for image files as history data. A desired image is found based on the history data. Further, an image is found based on a combination of photographing condition in a photographing operation, and the history data of the operations executed for the image file. Therefore, the image retrieval system allows the image to be efficiently, exactly, and conveniently found without a trouble of assigning key information to the image file.
Abstract:
A digital camera is provided with a display for displaying an image of an object and a specifying unit for specifying a plurality of measuring points on the display. An actual area of a region surrounded by the plurality of measuring points specified by the specifying unit are calculated by a calculator.
Abstract:
An electronic information device which uses a memory card to which a liquid crystal display using liquid crystal with a memory effect is attached. If a command to turn off the electric power source is issued during writing of information on the liquid crystal display, a power-off process is executed after completion of the writing. This electronic information device is adapted, for example, to be used as a digital camera.
Abstract:
An image processing device gives an alarm if deletion of image is directed in a state that the image has not yet been transferred from an image recording medium into a storage medium having a larger capacity. Also, when a deletion operation is performed for image, the image processing device compresses and stores the corresponding image file in accordance with an evaluation rank based on history data for the image. Therefore, the image processing device allows effective use of the storage medium having a limited capacity by contriving compression processing of the image file.
Abstract:
The digital camera has the function of registering a captured image or the like in an album file and includes a display such as an LCD and a switch button (QV button) for switching a display image on the display. An image to be displayed on the display is changed in response to depression of a switch button among a live view image in a capturing mode, a reproduction image regarding a data file in a reproduction mode, and an album image regarding an album file in an album reproduction mode. For example, in response to depression of the switch button, the images are sequentially displayed in the above-described order. Preferably, when a captured file is not stored, a reproduced image is not displayed. When an album file is not registered, an album image is not displayed.
Abstract:
A small and slim digital camera with an improved grip and a large display unit is provided. The digital camera takes a picture of an object via a lens unit installed in a front surface of a case of the digital camera. The digital camera includes: a case that has a main body in which a lens unit is formed on a front surface of the main body; and a side portion of the case which is pivotably coupled to the main body to be able to pivot toward the lens unit with respect to the main body; and a manipulating unit which is exposed to the outside between the main body and the side portion at a rear surface of the case when the side portion is pivoted.
Abstract:
A power transmission comprises a belt type continuously variable ratio-change mechanism CVT and a fixed ratio rotational transmission mechanism GT, which transmit the rotational driving force of a primary shaft 1 rotationally driven by an engine to a countershaft 3 with a speed ratio change. The continuously variable ratio-change mechanism comprises a drive pulley 10, a driven pulley 15 and a metal belt 14 while the fixed ratio rotational transmission mechanism GT comprises a forward drive gear train, a forward output transmission gear train, and a reverse drive gear train. The forward drive gear train transmits the rotation of an input drive gear 31 on the primary shaft 1 through an idler gear 32 to a LOW driven gear 33 on a secondary shaft 2, and the forward output transmission gear train transmits the rotation of the secondary shaft 2 to the countershaft 3. The reverse drive gear train transmits the rotation of the input drive gear 31 through the idler gear 32 to a reverse driven gear 36 on the countershaft 3.
Abstract:
A digital imaging apparatus with a plurality of displays that can display the same content or different content. In a first mode, the same image content may be displayed on both displays, in a second mode, image content may be displayed on one of the displays, and in a third mode, different content may be displayed on the two displays simultaneously. The displays may be of different sizes to accommodate displaying image content in a normal mode or in a wide mode. The viewing angle of two orthogonally disposed displays may be selected so that the displays provide a substantially combined continuous viewing angle greater than 90 degrees.
Abstract:
A digital camera includes a connector for connecting another digital camera and an interface for exchanging data between the digital camera and another digital camera. When another digital camera is connected to the connector, another digital camera is be controlled by a controller via the interface.
Abstract:
A vehicle engine starting device includes a drive starter gear provided on an output shaft of a transmission and a driven starter gear provided on a crankshaft of an engine are meshed, not only is it possible to start the engine by cranking the crankshaft by means of the driving force transmitted from a driven wheel without requiring a starter motor, but it is also possible to prevent the dragging of the transmission since the driving force is not transmitted to the crankshaft via the transmission. Further, since the gear ratio of the drive starter gear and the driven starter gear is set so that the rotational speed of the crankshaft attains a rotational speed that can start the engine when the vehicle speed reaches a predetermined vehicle speed for starting the engine, it is possible to reliably start the engine by cranking the crankshaft at an optimum speed.
