Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for printing data photographed and recorded by a digital camera on paper and recording the data on a CD-R, and a method of operating the apparatus.

2. Description of the Related Art A method of printing an image photographed and recorded by a digital camera on paper is generally a method using a personal computer and a dedicated printing machine. In general, when a photographed image is stored for secondary use, it is generally stored in a data recording medium such as an MO, a CD-R, or a hard disk and read out from the recording medium for use. According to these methods, in addition to the digital camera itself for taking images, it is necessary to have expensive auxiliary equipment for printing out and storing the recorded results, so that a large amount of expense is inevitable, and digital camera This has hindered its spread.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a system in which a required number of print images can be produced in a short time at a low cost without owning expensive auxiliary equipment other than the digital camera body. It is an object of the present invention to provide data recording and storage means for secondary use of an image captured and recorded by a digital camera.

In order to solve the above-mentioned object, according to the present invention, there is provided a method for printing data for a digital camera and a digital camera.
A DR writing machine is provided and installed in a location where many people gather by the system according to claim 2.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on embodiments with reference to the drawings. The printing and CD-R writer as shown in FIG. 1 is installed in a place where many people gather. The user holds the digital camera and holds the print and CD
-Stand in front of the R writer and insert the designated fee into the fee entry port 5. The user gives a work instruction, and selects and presses one of the switches 2. The device instructs to insert the data card of the digital camera into the designated drive 6 by voice and screen. When saving images to CD-R,
When one of the switches 2 is pressed, the recording CD-R 12 is automatically ejected from the CD-R vending machine 8, and the user sets the recording CD-R 12 in the recording drive 3 according to the instruction of the device. After the above operation is completed, an image captured and recorded from the data card 10 to the CD-R 12 is written. While the writing is being performed, the user displays an advertisement on the screen 1 and uses the advertisement effectively. An index printed on the case 11 of the CD-R 12 at the same time as writing to the CD-R 12 is output from the case printing machine 7. The user removes the data card 10 in accordance with the instruction of the device, puts the CD-R 12 in which the writing has been completed in the output case 11, and stores the data.
When printing an image written on the CD-R 12, the device inserts the CD-R 12 into the drive 3 of the CD-R according to the instructions of the device, and prints the desired number of images according to the screen and audio instructions. To enter. The device outputs the specified image from the specified number of printing presses 4.

Since the present invention is operated as described above, it has the following effects. By installing devices in places where many people gather, it is possible to write images shot by a digital camera on a CD-R or print on paper without relying on a personal computer or a dedicated printing machine owned by each person. In other words, it is possible to use a digital camera without owning a personal computer or a dedicated printing machine. If the device of the present invention is installed in a 24-hour convenience store, images taken by a digital camera can be written and printed on a CD-R 24 hours a day. Further, by installing the device of the present invention in various places, data can be stored and stored even in a remote place away from home without bringing a device other than a digital camera. According to the present invention, since all images are recorded on a CD-R, a CD-R
Data will be read from R. At present, most personal computers are provided with a CD-ROM reading device, which facilitates processing. The effective use of the screen of the device of the present invention allows a user and installer to provide effective information by displaying advertisements and advertisement videos.
