  • Publication number: 20090214220
    Abstract: The main power source unit of an image read-out device supplies power to an laser diode (LD) power supply unit of an electronic cassette through a contact. The LD power supply unit supplies the supplied power to a laser diode (LD), as power used for emitting laser light, and also supplies a portion of the supplied power to an LD power supply unit of the image read-out device through a contact. The power supplied to the LD power supply unit of the image read-out device is supplied as power for emitting laser light to an LD of the image read-out device. When there is a change in the relative position of the casings of the electronic cassette and the image read-out device, the contact and electrical continuation of the contacts breaks and laser light stops being emitted from the LDs.

  • Patent number: 7557827
    Abstract: A print system comprises a digital camera and a printer. The digital camera photographs a subject and produces image data. Print data including print-setting data and printing data is produced from the image data and print setting information. The digital camera is provided with a high-speed radio I/F and a low-speed radio I/F. The printer is also provided with a high-speed radio I/F and a low-speed radio I/F. The setting data is transferred from the digital camera to the printer through the low-speed radio I/F. The printing data is transferred from the digital camera to the printer through the high-speed radio I/F. The printer prints an image of the subject on the basis of the print data transferred from the digital camera to the printer.

  • Patent number: 7528867
    Abstract: A digital camera has an imaging information record mode where imaging information including information on a target to be picked up is recorded in association with image data as well as a regular shooting mode. When imaging information to be recorded is determined, the details of the information is sent to external apparatus via a radio interface and an antenna and corrected by the user interface of the external apparatus. The corrected image is input via the antenna again and updated. The updated image is recorded as property information in an image file including the shot image. According to the digital camera, it is possible to readily correct and add imaging information recorded as property information of image data.

  • Publication number: 20080292306
    Abstract: The present invention provides an image taking main unit that prevents entry of foreign matter and has excellent usability even when an image taking lens unit is not attached thereto. The image taking main unit has a concave mount to which the image taking lens unit with an image taking optical system and an imaging device is removably attached and receives image signals from the image taking lens unit attached thereto to record the image signals therein. The image taking main unit also has a barrier and an electronic device disposed on the barrier. The barrier covers an opening of the mount and retracts into the concave portion of the mount by being pressed by the image taking lens unit when the image taking lens unit is attached to the image taking main unit.

  • Publication number: 20070196099
    Abstract: A mobile device is equipped with a transmitting function to transmit data. When a power switch is turned off during data transmission, a transition is made to a transmission-during-power-off mode that continues data transmission. The transition to the transmission-during-power-off mode is performed when an inquiry is made on a screen as to whether transmission will be performed and “continue” is subsequently selected. In this mode, even when the mobile device with the power switch being turned off is carried around, data transmission is continued and data is recorded into a storage section of a home personal computer.

  • Publication number: 20070195167
    Abstract: An image distribution system includes an image storage device and an image distribution server. The image storage device includes a storage section which memorizes image data, and the image storage device switches into a mass storage mode when a switching signal is inputted. The image distribution server outputs the switching signal to the image storage device when there is a request from an external section, acquires the image data from the storage section of the image storage device which has switched to the mass storage mode, and distributes the acquired image data in response to a request from an image display browser.
