Abstract

本发明涉及多功能照片中心。一种集成多功能数字照片装置包括显示单元、打印单元、外壳、和框架。该集成装置在一个装置而不是多个装置中提供数字照片的显示和打印。

Description

多功能照片中心
技术领域
本发明涉及多功能照片中心。
背景技术
照片,特别是数字照片已经变得无所不在。在处理数字照片过程中出现几个功能。需要存储库存储数字照片并且合乎逻辑地、按时间地、按种类地组织它们。需要文件编排系统查找期望的数字照片,特别要考虑用户可能具有几百或几千张数字照片。需要用来观看数字照片的装置。最后,需要打印机打印出数字照片,所述数字照片可以被放置在相框中或给予他人。
这些功能没有以集成的方式存在并且一般仅可在多个装置中用到。例如,膝上型电脑、个人计算机、影印机、和数字相框包括了这些功能中的一些,但是没有包括它们的全部。另外,作为起居室设置中的永久有吸引力的显示器或作为用于办公室/休息室/礼品店装置的精美家具附件,这样的装置一般设计得不合意。

附图说明
图1是本公开的集成多功能数字照片装置的实施例的后视图。
图2是本公开的集成多功能数字照片装置的实施例的侧视图。
图3是本公开的集成多功能数字照片装置的实施例的正视图。
图4是本公开的集成多功能数字照片装置的实施例的内部结构的示意图。
具体实施方式
图1-3是本公开的示范性实施例的多个视图。多功能数字照片装置10具有外壳20。该外壳包括显示器外壳30和基底40。显示器外壳30和基底40可以相对于彼此旋转。显示单元50位于显示器外壳30中。装置10可以具有用来存储数字照片的存储单元60(未示出)。打印单元70(未示出)位于基底40中。正如在此所见,外壳20的基底40可以进一步包括托架80;该托架允许纸插入外壳20中以被打印单元70打印并且支撑纸。通常,纸被插入外壳20的后面并且从外壳20的前面出来。如果需要到外壳20的内部的附加通道,则基底40可以进一步包括门(未示出)。装置10包括框住或包围显示单元50的框架100。框架100可以与外壳20集成,或者它可以位于外壳20的外部。装置10可以进一步包括允许用户与装置10互动的多个按钮110和/或灯120。装置10也包括处理器130。处理器130可以控制显示单元50并且通常被连接到装置10的所有部件。处理器130可以控制显示单元50以便例如显示单个静态照片或示出“幻灯片放映”。处理器130也提供图像增强技术以便数字照片/视频质量比没有增强时高。
多功能数字照片装置10可以进一步包括存储数字照片信息的存储单元60。存储单元可以是本领域中已知的任何装置,例如快闪存储器、EEPROM、或RAM。还可以考虑,照片装置10不具有存储单元,而是包含数字照片的存储单元被插入照片装置10。USB端口或卡适配器使得存储装置可以被插入。
显示单元50是平板显示器并且可以是本领域中已知的任何类型的显示器。例如,平板显示器可以是液晶显示器(LCD)、等离子体、或数字光处理(DLP)。显示单元50通常具有矩形尺寸。显示单元可以具有从4英寸到50英寸大的对角线长度。
打印单元70允许使用者为看见数字照片并且希望它们具有副本的人立即和局部地打印数字照片。打印单元70可以是本领域中已知的任何单元,例如液体喷墨打印机、激光打印机、固体喷墨打印机、或染料升华打印机(dye-sublimation printer)。打印单元通常包括打印头、墨喷源、马达、和传动带。
装置10可以进一步包括接口单元150。例如可以考虑,打印单元70应当被用于低容量、高质量、即时打印,但是高容量打印应当通过基于网络的打印指令来实现。接口单元150允许装置10与外部源通信。接口单元150可以是用来接收以太网电缆的插口,其允许装置10连接到互联网。接口单元150也可以是用来无线连接到互联网或连接到包含存储单元60的计算机的无线接收器140。如果期望,照片装置10可以同时包括无线接收器140和接口单元150。
外壳20当然可以包括任何数量的装置10的多个部件运转或与用户通信所必需的槽和/或孔。托架80可以用作在其上放置将要进行打印的纸的临时托架,然后折叠起来以减小照片装置10的占位面积。然而,托架80也可以用作存储纸的送纸器。照片装置10可以从电池源或通过插入电插座的AC适配器接收功率。装置10可以进一步包括音频单元,例如用来提供声音的扬声器。音频单元可以位于显示器外壳30或外壳20的基底40中。
图4是照片装置10的一个实施例的内部结构的示意图。在该实施例中,显示单元50在显示器外壳30中。打印单元70、处理器130、无线接收器140、和接口单元150位于基底40中。虽然显示单元50位于显示器外壳30中并且打印单元70位于基底40中,但是其它部件可以位于外壳20的任何部分中。在该实施例中,照片装置10包括被示出在外壳20中的存储单元60。
本公开的集成多功能数字照片装置非常有用。它允许用户电子地转移或加载数字照片,用作照片储存库。它可以用作用于数字相册的电子编档系统。它可以显示单一的静态照片或照片的幻灯片放映。这些图像可以被增强。它也允许集成低容量打印或通过基于网络的打印指令的高容量打印。
