Abstract: There is provided a printer that performs print on a medium by color materials, including: an advance information reading and writing section that reads and writes advance information from and in an advance information holder for storing the advance information; a print control section that outputs a print driving controlling print when the advance information is read by the advance information reading and writing section; and a used amount acquiring section that acquires a used amount for the printer based on the print driving signal output from print control section.

Abstract: A digital camera capable of recording a subject image so that the subject image can be drawn as it is combined with a selected default image and so that the subject image can be drawn separately from the selected default image. The digital camera includes an image processor which creates subject image data based on output of an image sensor and a default image setting unit which stores subject image data in a removable memory together with information for associating background data with the subject image data, whereby the subject image data, rather than the data provided by combining the subject image data and the background data, is stored in the removable memory and the subject image data and the background data are associated with each other.

Abstract: A digital camera including a layout inputting unit that inputs a layout in drawing a digital image, an internal memory stored with the inputted layout, a selection receiving unit (S400) that receives selection of the layout stored in the internal memory, an object image outputting unit (S410, S420) that outputs the digital image outputted by the converting unit to a removable memory by being related to the layout selected by the selection receiving unit, and a layout unit (S440) that outputs the layout stored in the internal memory in the removable memory stored with the digital image by the object image outputting unit.

Abstract: The technique of the present invention ensures flexible image processing that is performed integrally on a plurality of image data. In accordance with the present invention, an image output system enables output of the image data, which is generated in a digital still camera DSC 12, with a color printer 20. The DSC 12 generates an image file, in which the image data, image processing control data and an additional data are stored. The image processing control data, which is preset by the manufacturer, may be specified regarding each image. The additional data is the user-configurable data, which is stored into the DSC. The color printer 20 performs image processing based on the image processing control data and the additional data, which is included in the image file, and outputs the resulting image.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an access unit, a setting unit and an image generation unit. The access unit accesses RAW data representing a tone level of one channel for each pixel and attribute data attached to the RAW data. The setting unit sets generation condition to generate an image from the RAW data. The image generation unit generates an output image from the RAW data on the basis of the generation condition, attaches attaching the attribute data to the output image for an item of which generation condition matches the attribute data, and attaches the attribute data to the output image for an item of which generation condition does not match the attribute data.

Abstract: A mobile device includes a file storage portion, a file reading portion, an index creating portion, an electric storage portion, an electric energy input/output portion, and an index creation determining portion. The file storage portion stores files. The file reading portion is capable of reading the contents of the files stored in the file storage portion. The index creating portion controls the file reading portion so as to read the contents of the files stored in the file storage portion and creates index data that can be used for searching of the contents of the files read by the file reading portion. The electric storage portion is capable of being charged/discharged. The electric energy input/output portion is capable of acquiring electric energy input from the electric storage portion and an external power source, and is capable of outputting electric energy to the electric storage portion, the file reading portion, and the index creating portion.

Abstract: A digital camera includes: an optical system for forming an optical image of a subject; an image pickup unit that converts the formed optical image of the subject and outputs a subject image; and a recording unit that associates the subject image output by the image pickup unit with a layout definition data group and stores the subject image in a nonvolatile memory. The layout definition data group is stored in the nonvolatile memory and is made up of pieces of layout definition data that define a layout to draw a subject image for a drawing medium of a specific size. The pieces of layout definition data making up the layout definition data group with which the subject image is associated defines similar layouts for drawing media of difference sizes.
