Patent number: 6646679Abstract: A compact film player has a picture reproducing unit and an information reading unit capable of reading a photographing information on each frame of the film. When a developed film is fed in an inlet of the picture reproducing unit in a prescribed direction, a scan mirror scans a picture provided on the film perpendicularly to the feed direction, so that a line sensor takes the picture every line. The line sensor and the scan mirror read two-dimensional pictures provided on the film. When the picture of the frame previously read is on display, the scan of the next frame is effected.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: November 11, 2003Assignee: Minolta Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Ishibe, Manabu Inoue, Katsuyuki Nanba, Hirokazu Yagura, Takehiro Katoh

Publication number: 20010052039Abstract: A mask ROM is employed for a semiconductor memory. The mask ROM records information in the stage of manufacturing so that the information cannot be thereafter rewritten. However, the manufacturing cost therefor can be reduced as compared with a nonvolatile memory such as an EEPROM, and it is optimal for recording contents requiring no rewriting. Thus, a card-type recording medium employing a semiconductor memory recording contents requiring no rewriting, which is at a lower manufacturing cost as compared with a nonvolatile memory such as an EEPROM, is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2001Publication date: December 13, 2001Applicant: FUETREK CO., LTDInventor: Hiroshi Ishibe

Patent number: 5825410Abstract: In still frame images from a film, the first frame of an image block is produced in a fade-in manner for gradually outputting a picture. If the end of a beginning part of a theme block is detected from information for a next frame, the process is advanced to a step to select a production method including relevantly large movement on the assumption that the scene is moved to an intermediate part of the theme block. If the intermediate part is ended, a different production method including relevantly small movement is selected on the assumption that the scene is moved to an end part.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1992Date of Patent: October 20, 1998Assignee: Minolta Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Ishibe, Manabu Inoue, Hirokazu Yagura, Takehiro Katoh, Tetsuo Yamada, Kyoko Kakudo, Katsuyuki Nanba

Patent number: 5296884Abstract: A camera is disclosed which has means for receiving an electric wave which is transmitted from an external device in a wireless manner (e.g., equipment for radio navigation systems, satellites and radio stations). When an image of an object is recorded at every shot on a recording medium loaded in said camera, a data corresponding to every shot is recorded in accordance with the electric wave received by said receiving means. Preferably said camera further has means for detecting a place where the photo-taking operation is carried out and in accordance with the detection of said detecting means, the data corresponding to every shot is recorded. Thus, records of the object image together with data relating to place can be obtained without any manual operation prior to every photo-taking operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1992Date of Patent: March 22, 1994Assignee: Minolta Camera Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tsutomu Honda, Yasuhiro Morimoto, Kuniteru Sakakibara, Kenji Nakamura, Hirokazu Naruto, Hiroshi Ishibe

Patent number: 4823199Abstract: A still video adapter device is detachably mounted to a back portion of a camera body, in place of a rear cover. The light passing through an objective lens of the camera body is relayed by a relay optical system and split into two groups, one being directed to an image sensor for the still video photography, the other to a light measuring element for the exposure control. The output of the light measuring element is integrated and compared with a given value, thereby generating a signal for interrupting the flash light emission when the integrated value reaches the given value.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1987Date of Patent: April 18, 1989Assignee: Minolta Camera Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kuniteru Sakakibara, Mitsuru Saito, Tetsuyuki Tanimoto, Yasuhiro Morimoto, Hiroshi Ishibe
