摘要： A photofinishing system for automatically processing image and associated image data pursuant to customer output requests. The system includes an order manager operative to receive and control processing of the output requests and at least one source of image related data corresponding to the output request. An input interface receives the image related data from the source and converts the data to a digital data stream. A memory is included for storing the digital data stream. The system further includes a data parser disposed in communication with the memory to extract selected data streams according to the order manager and to reduce the data into respective image files having respective groups of data fields. An output module is responsive to the order manager and is operative to produce a photofinished output organized with respect to the data fields.

摘要： An image-audio print has either a single image or a set of images on a first side and an accessible audio data storage means preferably on its backside. The accessible audio data storage means contains an audio data segment associated with the image on single image prints and a set of audio data segments, one for each image on multi-image prints, for example, index prints. A player receives and locates the image-audio print with the accessible audio data storage means accurately positioned in electrical contact with the player apparatus. The player apparatus can play an audio data segment associated with the print from a single image print or by appropriate interaction with the user who selects a audio data segment associated with the selected image on multi-image prints. Preferably, a touchscreen is used to select the image for which the audio is to be played. The player also can record audio into the accessible audio data storage means and copy audio from one print to another. The prints can be manufactured by using a backing substrate into which a recess is created for the audio data storage means and which is, preferably, adhesively attached to the back of ordinary paper print substrate. The backing paper provides not only the recess for the audio data storage means, but also adds heft to the print. Alternatively, the audio data storage means can be formed integrally with a full print-sized back of the print and affixed to the back by hand or automatically. Further, the print can be formed by taking a full print-sized backing with an integral audio data storage means and applying an image to the frontside of it, by inkjet printing, thermal dye transfer, electrophotographic or other hard copy imaging means.

摘要： An image and an associated audio segment are recorded on a film negative. The information on the film negative can be printed as encoded sound data on photographic paper or the like. For displaying, the sound data is scanned, decoded to create an audio segment data stream, and the data stream is played, typically by a computer while a monitor displays the image at the same time. More realistic sound playback is achieved by recording audio segments with plural microphones and playing back the audio segments recorded by the microphones from one or more of the sources based on a user-selected area of interest on the corresponding visual image.

摘要： A method of processing photographic still image film orders having sound information recorded at the camera in association with one or more images captured on the film in which the sound information is downloaded at an order entry station to create a sound file for transfer to the photofinishing laboratory. Order identification data linking the recorded sound information to the film order is created and assigned to the sound file and the film order. The order identification data is employed at the photofinishing laboratory to create a sound recording medium from the sound file which is linked to prints produced from the film order, the sound recording medium then being attached to the image prints using the linking order identification data. Sound information associated with individual image prints may also be accumulated and recorded on a single sound recording medium for attachment to an index print produced from the film order.

摘要： A first processor-based device (PBD), such as a personal computer functioning as a host and containing digital media files, may share a selected file with a second PBD. Media file-sharing may be facilitated by an automated technique including graphical user interfaces (GUIs). In one embodiment, when a device user wishes to transfer a file to another device, the user hovers the file over a particular desktop icon and drops it, causing it to be automatically transmitted to a corresponding destination. Optionally, in response to hovering, a software program automatically generates a GUI indicating potential destinations. The user then selects a destination, and the system automatically transfers the file to that destination. In another embodiment, media sharing can be initiated from a digital appliance, such as a digital picture frame, and a file can be sent to another PBD, such as another digital picture frame via an intermediary PBD.

摘要： A first type of processor-based device, such as a personal computer functioning as a host and containing digital media files, may wirelessly communicate with a second type of processor-based device or appliance, such as a digital picture frame (DPF). Upon request and/or at periodic intervals, the host may transmit menu items and/or media files to the DPF. Responsive to user choices entered at the DPF and transmitted to the host, the host may transmit further menu items and/or media files to the DPF. Methods of polling and registering one or more DPFs by a host, of retrieving media files by a host from the Internet satisfying user-specified search criteria, and of uploading media files from a DPF to a host, are also described, in addition to a network and a machine-accessible medium.

摘要： A digital picture display system may operate through a wireless connection to a remote processor-based display. The system may operate in a portable and/or a fixed mode. In the portable mode, a portable display device may be wirelessly coupled to the processor-based system and may function using its own onboard battery source. In a fixed mode, the portable device may be plugged into a display station, which not only provides an AC power supply, but also aesthetically frames the display device, providing a picture framing function as well.

摘要： A contrast autofocus mechanism for a still camera automatically controls the displacement of an imaging lens (10) so as to cause an image of a subject (32) to be quickly brought into focus upon the len's image-receiving plane (24) in response to successive contrast measurements taken at different conditions which produce different depths of field. The change in depth of field may be accomplished by changing the aperture setting for successive contrast measurements. Based upon difference in contrast for the two measurements, the extent to which the lens is out-of-focus is calculated. This calculation is used to define the displacement of the lens to a new position which should be at or nearly at a position of peak contrast. If at the new position further refinement is necessary, a trial and error subroutine is conducted to determine in which direction the lens should be moved to attain focus. In addition, during this contrast measurement, the amount by which the lens is to be displaced in the correct direction is calculated and the lens is displaced to what should be an in-focus condition. To accommodate low contrast scenes an auxiliary default position measurement sequence may be carried out to determine when focus has been achieved or is incapable of being achieved. For each set of contrast measurements a blur circle (b') difference value, representative of the difference in contrast, is compared with thresholds to determine in which direction the lens should be moved.
摘要翻译：用于静止照相机的对比度自动对焦机构自动控制成像透镜（10）的位移，以便响应于图像接收平面（24）而使被摄体（32）的图像快速聚焦在照相机的图像接收平面（24）上在不同条件下进行连续的对比度测量，产生不同的景深。景深的变化可以通过改变连续对比度测量的光圈设置来实现。基于两个测量的对比度的差异，计算出镜片失焦的程度。该计算用于将透镜的位移定义到应该处于或几乎处于峰值对比度的位置的新位置。如果在新位置需要进一步细化，则进行试错子程序，以确定透镜在哪个方向上移动以获得焦点。此外，在该对比度测量期间，计算透镜在正确方向上移位的量，并将透镜移位到应该处于对焦状态的位置。为了适应低对比度场景，可以执行辅助默认位置测量序列以确定焦点何时已经实现或者不能实现。对于每组对比度测量，将代表对比度差异的模糊圆（b'）差值与阈值进行比较，以确定透镜在哪个方向上移动。
