Patent number: 10645233Abstract: There are provided a printer, a digital camera with a printer, and a printing method which are capable of simply printing an image having photographic composition intended by a user. A frame layout is displayed on a monitor. Based on an operation of an operation unit, images stored in an internal memory are displayed in frames, and images to be arranged in the frames are selected. In this case, portions of the images corresponding to the frames are cut out, and the images are displayed in the frames. Based on an operation of the operation unit, the images to be arranged in the frames are adjusted by zooming and/or moving the images to be arranged in the frames within the frames. After setting of images for all the frames is completed, an image displayed on the monitor is printed according to a print instruction.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2017Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventors: Yoshikuni Nishiura, Shinichi Fujimoto, Tsuneo Sato

Publication number: 20200090015Abstract: There are provided a data playback system, a data playback method, a data playback terminal, a printer, and a server which are capable of playing sound from a printout and viewing a favorable image. Image data of an image printed on an instant film and sound data associated with the image data are stored in a data storage server. In a case where a two-dimensional code printed with the image on the instant film is read by a data playback terminal, access information to the image data of the printed image and the sound data associated with the image data is obtained. The data playback terminal accesses the data storage server based on the obtained access information, and downloads and plays the image data of the printed image and the sound data.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2019Publication date: March 19, 2020Applicant: FUJIFILM CorporationInventor: Shinichi FUJIMOTO

DIGITAL CAMERA WITH PRINTER, PRINTING METHOD OF DIGITAL CAMERA WITH PRINTER, AND DATA STORAGE SYSTEM
Publication number: 20200089441Abstract: There are provided a digital camera with a printer, a printing method of a digital camera with a printer, and a data storage system which are capable of simply generating a printout capable of playing sound. In a case where image data associated with sound data is printed, a digital camera with a printer adds unique identification information, and uploads the image data and the sound data to a data storage server through an upload terminal. A two-dimensional code obtained by encoding access information for accessing uploaded data is added to an image, and the image is printed on an instant film. The image data and the sound data stored in the data storage server can be downloaded and played on the data playback terminal by reading the two-dimensional code printed with the image on the instant film by a data playback terminal.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2019Publication date: March 19, 2020Applicant: FUJIFILM CorporationInventor: Shinichi FUJIMOTO -
