Abstract
An image output system has the function of pre-viewing image and has a controller for the user to operate. It may serve as a peripheral for host computer or serve alone for the user to pre-view, select and print the image documents stored in the image output system.
Description
The invention relates to a kind of image output system (imageoutput system) of the peripheral device as a host computer, particularly about the image output system of a kind of permission single-set operation (stand-alone), this system is the function by image preview (preview), will be from a host computer or behind the image data input media reception image data of system itself, preview image data in advance, so according to user's wish choose image that institute's desire prints, the printing equipment (print device) of it being delivered to system itself again makes print processing.
Image output system, for example photo printer (photo printer) is to be one of existing popular computer peripheral apparatus.Along with the trend development of computer peripheral, believe that image output system certainly will be with more shape is general towards multifunctional paper feeding machine (MFP, multi-functional officemachine).
Typical image output system is after receiving image data from a host computer, and Jing is about to image data and makes print processing.If the user will choose the image data that desire is made print processing, then must be earlier see through in the application program of carrying out on the host computer and image data is shown on the screen of the display that this host computer disposes, and then choose action.
Tremendous development along with Storage Media, must be stored in the image data in the bulky Storage Media in the past, can be stored in now in the high Storage Media of frivolous, carrying convenience, capacity, for example meet the various storage cards such as Compact-Flash, Smart-Media of tool high storage capacity.Therefore, existing image output system disposes data input device (as the reading device of various storage card) mostly.Whereby, this kind image output system can read image data from data input device, and then image data is made print processing under the power behind the scenes of host computer not having, and become so-called single-set operation pattern, so that being provided, the user goes up more facility in using.
Yet, the above-mentioned image output system that disposes data input device, great majority itself can't the preview image, more can't choose the actual image data that will print of user and make image printing and handle.In practical application, the above-mentioned image output system that disposes data input device and can't the preview image, it is after reading image data from data input device, if must preview, choose image data, still must be by host computer, image data is presented on the screen that this host computer disposes, and utilizes the application program that is executed on the host computer to choose the image data that desire is made print processing.Therefore, for the user, in fact above-mentioned image output system does not reach the conception that it desires to provide single-set operation fully.
See also shown in Figure 1ly, this figure is a mode of choosing the image data that desire prints of schematically depicting the image output system 10 of one first known technology.This image output system 10 is via a video output coder (vedio-out encoder) 12 external displays 13.The user can see through operating control 11 operations that image output system 10 is provided, the image data that this image output system 10 is read converts vision signal (vedio signal) to, and then vision signal is shown on the screen of this display 13, assist the user to choose the image data that institute's desire is printed whereby.Significantly, it still must have the assistance of peripheries such as display, does not reach the single-set operation pattern yet fully, still has sizable restriction in the use.
See also shown in Figure 2ly, this figure is an image output system 20 of schematically depicting one second known technology in order to the mode of the image data of choosing desire and printing.The user can see through operating control 21 operations that image output system 20 is provided, many the image datas that this image output system 20 is read, Print All is on an image list (list) 22, each image data and quilt are compiled a last index code on this list 22, choose this image data of institute's desire printing by index code and further make print processing.Though this image output system 20 can not need the assistance of peripheral device to choose the image data that desire is printed, it prints the practice of image list earlier, and is time-consuming in the operation, and the waste consumptive material.
See through understanding, can be clear that the image output system that single-set operation, operation facility is not fully arranged instantly yet and do not waste consumptive material prior art.A kind of image output system provided by the present invention promptly meets above-mentioned requirement.And especially, image output system provided by the present invention is to have the image preview function, and an operating control by user's operation is provided.Whereby, this image output system can be used as peripheral device and this host computer compounding practice of a host computer, but or single-set operation, allow user's preview of going ahead of the rest be stored in image data in this image output system, further choose the image data that desire is printed, further the image data that is selected is delivered to the printing equipment of system itself and made print processing.In addition, the present invention also can do preview to the image data that is sent by host computer, and whether can detect the received image data of this image output system whereby correct in advance, and whether the row decision makes print processing again, in order to avoid the waste consumptive material.
In addition, because of the source of existing image data and the variation of storing mode, so the source of image data also may be a video signal source, for example provide the digital camera (DSC, DigitalStill Camera) or the image scanner (Image Scanner) of vision signal.Therefore, another object of the present invention is promptly providing a kind of image output system that connects multi-form image data source (comprising video signal source).The variation in the image data source that user's desire makes print processing can be provided whereby.Further, the user more can be by image output system provided by the present invention as various forms of image datas crossover tool each other.
A purpose of the present invention provides a kind of image output system that allows single-set operation, and especially, this image output system is the function that possesses the preview image, and an operating control by user's operation is provided.Whereby, this image output system can be used as peripheral device and this host computer compounding practice of a host computer, but or single-set operation, allow user's preview of going ahead of the rest be stored in image data in this image output system, further choose the image data that desire is printed, further the image data that is selected is delivered to the printing equipment of system itself and made print processing.
Another object of the present invention provides a kind of image output system that connects multi-form image data source, whereby, can provide the variation in the image data source that user's desire makes print processing.Further, the user more can be by image output system provided by the present invention as various forms of image datas crossover tool each other.
A kind of image output system that purpose according to the present invention provides is to comprise data snubber assembly, operating control, a display device, a treating apparatus and the printing equipment by operator operation that a system bus, is connected to this system bus.This data snubber assembly is in order to storing an image data, and this image data is to comprise group (subset) image datas many times.This operating control (console) is in order to produce a control signal.This display device is in order to show that one represents information and these many group image data of this control signal.This treating apparatus is to respond this control signal, in order to choose at least one pen time group image data from these many group image data.This printing equipment is to be printed to one in order to the inferior group image data that will be selected to print on the medium.
