  • Patent number: 6850273
    Abstract: An image file imaged by a digital camera is stored in a memory card, and the digital camera sets the number of prints for each image file according to the digital print order format (DPOF) standard and records the number as a printing information file in the memory card. When the number of prints is set, an image file in which at least one frame is designated for printing is determined to have a read-only file property in order to prevent the image file from being erased against the designation for printing. There is provided a mode for collectively designating all frames for printing.

  • Patent number: 6829624
    Abstract: A data processing method for a digital camera that may record image data as image files and sound data as sound files on a storage medium, wherein sound files are classified into a sound memo file recorded in association with an image file, and a sound record file recorded independently. The image files and the sound record files are time-sequentially recorded in a recording directory on a storage medium, each being given a file-name that contains an individual file number representing the time sequence of recording. To discriminate between the image files and the sound files, an extender common to the image files or a second extender common to the sound files is attached to the file-name. The sound memo file is given the same file-name as that of an image file which the sound memo file is to be associated with, and is recorded in the same recording directory as the associated image file, though the extender common to the sound files is attached to the file-name of the sound memo file.

  • Patent number: 6646034
    Abstract: The invention provides fragrance-emitting shaped articles such as slide fasteners which retain the various characteristics inherent to polyacetal resins. Shaped articles such as the row of engaging teeth, top end stop and bottom end stop or separable end stop assembly for a slide fastener are manufactured from a resin composition comprising a polyacetal resin and a fragrance material having an aldehyde group-free chemical structure and a boiling point which is at least as high as the polyacetal resin processing temperature.
