Patent number: 8432558Abstract: For generating photo albums on events such as weddings, the photo albums can always be generated in the same quality. A professional photographer photographs the bride and groom on a wedding. Images are read from a developed film and stored in a file server. A template used for generating a photo album is added with composition information representing composition of images to be inserted in image insertion areas therein. When an operator selects one of the images to be inserted in any one of the image insertion areas with reference to an editing screen having a catalog display field and a template display field, processing information representing a magnification ratio and/or a trimming position is generated based on the composition information so that the selected image has the composition appropriate for the image insertion area. The selected image is processed according to the processing information.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2012Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventors: Takashi Tsue, Koichi Yamada, Kazuhiro Mino

Patent number: 7446898Abstract: Printing processing is carried out efficiently when a print order regarding image data is placed through a network. Order information C and thumbnail image data sets TS of image data sets S to be printed are sent from a user terminal 11 to an order reception server 21 in a DPE store 2. A controller 23 judges whether or not a communication line of a network 3 and/or a digital mini-laboratory 22 are heavily loaded, and sends a reception permit Q to the user terminal 11 if a result of the judgment is negative. The user terminal 11 receives the reception permit Q and accesses the order reception server 21 to send the image data sets S thereto. The digital mini-laboratory 22 carries out printing processing on the image data sets S to generate prints P.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2003Date of Patent: November 4, 2008Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventors: Takashi Tsue, Akira Yoda

Publication number: 20050185202Abstract: Even in the case where an additional heat exchanger must be arranged at the downstream side in the air flow direction of a multiple heat exchanger, a high flow-rate of air can be supplied to the additional heat exchanger arranged at the downstream side. In a state in which a reinforcement plate 3d of an outdoor heat exchanger 3 and a reinforcement plate 2d of a first radiator 2 come next to and overlap each other in series in the cooling air flow direction, both the reinforcement plates 2d and 3d are joined with a bolt 5. Due to this, a distance h between a first heat exchange core 2c and a second heat exchange core 3c is reduced. Therefore, air for cooling can be supplied, at a high flow-rate, to a second radiator 3 arranged at the downstream side.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2004Publication date: August 25, 2005Inventors: Takashi Tsue, Koichi Yamada, Akira Yoda

Publication number: 20050134947Abstract: For generating photo albums on events such as weddings, the photo albums can always be generated with consistent quality. A photographer photographs the bride and groom at a wedding. Images are read from a developed film and stored in a file server. A photo album editing operation such as selection of the images to be included in the album is carried out with reference to an editing screen including a catalog display field having image data sets representing the images and a template display field displaying a template. Sample images having composition of images to be inserted in image insertion areas in the template in the template display field are inserted as guide images in the image insertion areas. Therefore, an operator can easily select the images to be inserted in the image insertion areas by referring to the guide images.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2004Publication date: June 23, 2005Inventors: Takashi Tsue, Koichi Yamada

Publication number: 20050128518Abstract: When a user who once ordered generation of a photo album of an event such as a wedding orders generation of another photo album of the same event by using a different template, image editing can be carried out efficiently. In each order, the template ID used in the order and image specification information identifying selected images are recorded. Correspondence between image insertion areas in templates is recorded as correspondence information. When the order using the differential template is placed, the image specification information and the correspondence information is referred to, and an image editing screen is displayed by inserting the selected images used in the previous order in the image insertion areas in the template used in the present order.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2004Publication date: June 16, 2005Inventors: Takashi Tsue, Koichi Yamada

Publication number: 20040017943Abstract: A plurality of photographs taken in a time series are divided into pieces of image data, and a probability that date information can be extracted from the piece of image data is judged by pieces of image data. The date information is preferentially extracted from the piece of image data which is higher in the probability, and a piece of image data, representing a photograph taken between a pair of photographs represented by a pair of pieces of image data having the same date information, is given the same date information.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2003Publication date: January 29, 2004Applicant: FUJI PHOTO FILM CO., LTD.Inventors: Naoki Mochizuki, Takashi Tsue
