Below, with reference to description of drawings form of implementation of the present invention.
(the 1st form of implementation)
Fig. 1 is the block diagram of structure that expression comprises the print system of digital camera relevant with the present invention 100 and printer 120.
To block in 101 at CF (Compact Flash (compact flash)) with the Imagery Data Recording that camera part 111 has been photographed as dismountable flash memory card.The user carries out various operations by operation GUI (Graphical User Interface (graphic user interface)) operating unit 110.GUI operating unit 110 is connected to GUI control unit 107, and the operation that GUI control unit 107 comes interpreting user according to situation sends order to each unit by bus 104, realizes user's request.
Fig. 3 represents an example of GUI operating unit 110.Here the operating unit of digital camera is equivalent to the GUI operating unit.
Print behind the image that writes down in order to repair, the image that selection will be printed carries out trim settings.Specifically, the user operates GUI operating unit 110, and display image is selected picture.At this moment by the operation of GUI control unit 107 interpreting users, GUI control unit 107 sends image display command to image selected cell 106.Image selected cell 106 sends indication in order to read present selected view data to I/O (I/O) control unit 102.I/O control unit 102 is read specified view data from CF 101, sends view data to display unit 108 by bus 104.Display unit 108 shows the view data that is sent.
The enough GUI operating units 110 of user's energy are selected the display format of picture.Exist and use roughly all showing the form of an image and compile the form that the little image of many hypertonics shows simultaneously on display unit 108 of display unit 108.When selecting once to show the form of the little image of many hypertonics, image selected cell 106 needs the view data of display part to 102 requests of I/O control unit, and will need the view data of part to send display unit 108 to.
The user selects the image that print while watching at display unit 108 shown images.If the image in the printing demonstration is then pressed the selector button of GUI operating unit 110, proceed trim settings.
In picture shown in Figure 4, carry out trim settings.After having selected to press setting (SET) key 305 of GUI operating unit 110 in the image state, show print dialog shown in Figure 4 on the image that in display unit 108, is just showing.The cross key 303 of operation GUI operating unit 110 is selected finishing button 401.After pressing the SET button 305 of GUI operating unit 110 in the state of selecting finishing button 401, in display unit 108, show trim settings picture shown in Figure 5.
In display frame shown in Figure 5, be stacked in picture central authorities with selected image layer and show trim settings frame 501 with green.By in this state, operating the cross key 303 of GUI operating unit 110 up and down, just can be on image mobile up and down trim settings frame.In addition, behind wide-angle (WIDE) key 302 of push GUI operating unit 110, can make the size of trim settings frame become big.The trim settings frame 501 of position and size has been changed in expression among Fig. 6.
When showing maximum trim settings frame and then after pressing wide-angle key 302 once more, just can remove finishing.Because maintain back and the preceding finishing information of releasing removed,, just can access the preceding trimming data of releasing by setting finishing again.
Behind long burnt (TELE) key 301 of push GUI operating unit 110, the size of trim settings frame is diminished.Behind demonstration (DISPLAY) key 306 of push GUI operating unit 110, just can make the trim settings frame rotate 90 degree.
If the position size of finishing is set to desirable state in length and breadth, then behind the SET key 305 of pressing GUI operating unit 110, just determine present trim settings, and as shown in Figure 7 with the determined trim settings frame 501 of blue demonstration, at the green new trim settings frame 502 that shows of picture central authorities.Utilize wide-angle/each key of length Jiao/demonstration of GUI operating unit 110 and the operation of cross key, not giving any influence ground to determined trim settings frame 501 just now becomes operation for new trim settings frame 502, and can carry out the change of size/position of trim settings frame and 90 degree of trim settings frame rotate.Because also show determined just now trim settings frame 501 this moment, so Yi Bian can one side compare and carry out new trim settings with just now trim settings situation.If can be presented at desirable position, then by pressing the SET button 305 of GUI operating unit 110, as shown in Figure 8 and then show new trim settings frame 503 with desirable big young pathbreaker's trim settings frame 502.
If carry out needed trim settings repeatedly, then behind the menu of pressing GUI operating unit 110 (MENU) key 304, trim settings is finished, and in display unit 108 print dialog of displayed map 4 once more.Cross key 303 selective printing buttons 402 by operation GUI operating unit 110 in the state of the print dialog of displayed map 4, when press GUI operating unit 110 button 305 is set after, just carry out printing according to trim settings.
Print if indication is carried out, then generate print data by print data generation unit 105.In print data generation unit 105, read in the view data of now just selecting from CF 101 through I/O control unit 102 by image selected cell 106, and then read trimming data from data holding unit 103, cut out the zone that needs from view data according to trimming data.The view data that is cut out is transformed into the data that are applicable to the print apparatus that is connected, and sends printer 120 to by communication unit 109.Printer 120 is carried out according to the print data that is sent and is printed.
The printing if be through with then continue according to next trim settings generates the data that are used for next time printing, and sends print data to printer equally, carries out according to next trim settings and prints.In all trim settings, carry out repeatedly up to finishing printing.
The data structure of the trimming data that Fig. 2 is preserved when being the trim settings of the print system in this form of implementation.Trimming data is kept at data preserves in the unit 103.Trimming data is that each member holds the data length of 4 bytes by minimum 6 structures that the member constituted.
The 201st, the trim settings sign can be taken as 2 values of truth or falsity.If true, the content of then representing the remaining member of this trimming data structure is significant, if pseudo-, represents that then remaining member's content does not have in all senses.If thereby trim settings sign 201 is puppets then handles as not carrying out trim settings.
The 202nd, sign is removed in finishing, can get 2 values of truth or falsity.If true, then expression is in the state of removing trim settings.Trim settings sign 201 is true and finishing releasing sign 202 is that genuine state is, carries out trim settings, and all members of trimming data structure keep significant value, but the state that finishing itself is disengaged.If finishing is removed and is indicated that 202 is true during printing, then do not repair printing, carry out all printings of image that do not have finishing.
Printing model during 203 expression trim settings.The print system of this form of implementation has and has frame not have frame to cut apart 3 printing models of sealed paper, the asperratio difference of the image of each print result.Will be inconsistent because set the finishing back with print result by repairing frame institute area surrounded when asperratio that need not be identical with the asperratio of print result, so the printing model need be with trim settings the time keeps getting off as trimming data.
Paper size when the type of 204 paper is represented trim settings.In printing model 203 are no frames or when cutting apart sealed paper, the image of print result size in length and breadth is different because of the type of paper.Thereby because of the reason identical with printing model 203 also needs the type of paper is preserved as trimming data.
205～208 preserve the pointer of finishing frame data 210～213.The x coordinate that finishing x coordinate 210 is illustrated on the image of repairing the frame upper left corner.The y coordinate that finishing y coordinate 211 is illustrated on the image of repairing the frame upper left corner.Graded width 212 is illustrated in the length of finishing frame horizontal direction.Finishing height 213 is illustrated in the length of finishing frame vertical direction.4 data with 210～213 decide the position and the size of finishing frame.
When specifying a plurality of trim settings for an image, only be ready to and the same number of 210～213 the finishing frame data of setting finishing, keep position and size for each finishing.
Owing in 205～208, preserve the pointer of each finishing frame data, so this project is ready to only add 1 number on the trim settings number.Be set to 0 by repairing the last member of frame data pointer (208 among Fig. 2), it is discontinuous to be illustrated in this above finishing frame data pointer.Thereby just can know the number of setting finishing, the position of each trim settings and size by checking the trimming data structure.
The 209th, picture number, expression trimming data structure is for which image.Can there be a plurality of identical picture number in the image in being kept at CF 101, represent an image by picture number.
Fig. 9 is the flow chart of the handling process of reading/preserving that is illustrated in the trimming data of the print system in this form of implementation.
The image that selection will be printed in step S301.In step S302, selected image is carried out trim settings.Method about trim settings is such as previously discussed.Carry out trim settings for the image that becomes object this moment, if promptly trim settings sign 201 is true, then according to this setting, read the finishing frame data that is stored in from the represented place of the finishing frame data pointer of pointer 205 beginnings, on display unit 108, show the trim settings picture according to the finishing frame data of being read.The big or small position of the finishing frame that will show this moment is to obtain from the trimming data of being read in length and breadth.
Under the situation of not preserving trimming data, do not carry out reading of trimming data, generate default finishing frame, on display unit 108, show.
Carrying out the end of trim settings in step S303 judges.Specifically, on the trim settings picture, if press GUI operating unit 110 button 305 is set, then, just can carry out the trim settings of any number because become and proceed trim settings so return step S302.
On the trim settings picture, if press the Menu key 304 of GUI operating unit 110, then trim settings finishes, and becomes the state that can begin to print.And if then indicate printing by the user, then in step S304, begin to print.
Print processing is by reading trimming data shown in Figure 2, image for picture number 209,210～213 finishing frame data according to the pointer from be kept at member 205 searches out cuts out image, is transformed into to send the data to printer 120 after the data of printing usefulness and realize.
Repair printing for one if be through with, then in step S305, check whether indicated next finishing.Carry out the finishing printing because seek the pointer of the data 1 of pointing to pointer 205 just now, so repair printing according to the data of next pointer 206.Just repair printing equally continuously as long as point to the pointer of finishing frame data and be not 0.If pointing to the pointer of finishing frame data is 0, then is judged to be printing and does not continue, end process at step S305.
As above state in detail, according to this form of implementation, then can on same picture, set a plurality of finishings for same image, can carry out continuously printing by whole finishings that a printing sets, thus, carry out other trim settings, not be used in the printing and wait on one side have more a plurality of trim settings on one side, trim settings is carried out in the concentrated area in advance, improves the effect of operability.
(the 2nd form of implementation)
In this form of implementation, the situation that is applied to the panorama printing with regard to the present invention describes.The digital camera of this form of implementation has the internal structure identical with Fig. 1, with Fig. 3 identical operations unit, can show the setting picture identical with Fig. 4.Thereby, in this form of implementation, for have with the 1st form of implementation identical function respectively constitute the unit, use identical mark, this detailed explanation is omitted.But, in this form of implementation, in GUI operating unit 110, be provided with the zone of printing and specify and not shown redirect (JUMP) key of use for panorama.
Figure 10 represents to repair the situation that frame is divided into cancellate little rectangular area.Here each image 1001～1005th of Figure 10, all parts of the image that on display unit 108, shows.
At first, the finishing frame that is equivalent to a part of printout paper shows shown in 1001 like that, press the redirect key (not shown) of GUI operating unit 110 when one side, when pressing the right button (not shown) of cross key on one side, as 1002, the finishing frame enlarges to right, is divided into 2 rectangular areas.And then, Yi Bian when the redirect key (not shown) of pressing GUI operating unit 110, Yi Bian after pressing the left button of cross key, as 1004, the finishing frame enlarges to right, the finishing frame is divided into 3 rectangular areas.And then, Yi Bian when the redirect key of pressing GUI operating unit 110, Yi Bian after pressing the last button of cross key, as 1005, the finishing frame is upward to expansion, the finishing frame is divided into 6 rectangular areas.
As implied above such, when the redirect key (not shown) of pressing GUI operating unit 110, and meanwhile press the right button of cross key, left button, behind last button or the knob down, the finishing frame enlarges to all directions, is divided into the rectangular area of all directions.In addition, by pressing display key 306, shown in 1003, also can carry out the finishing of longitudinal direction like that from the state of the finishing frame shown in 1002.Be set in desirable state in length and breadth if will repair the position size of frame, then behind the Menu key 304 of pressing GUI operating unit 110, just determine trim settings.
If repeat trim settings, then behind the Menu key 304 of pressing GUI operating unit 110, then trim settings finishes, at the print dialog of display unit 108 displayed map 4.Operation cross key 303 is come selective printing button 402 in the state of the print dialog of displayed map 4, just carries out printing according to trim settings when pressing after button 305 is set.
After carrying out printing, indication generates print datas by print data generation unit 105.In print data generation unit 105, read in view data now just selecting through I/O control units 102 from CF 101 by image selected cell 106, and then read trimming data from data holding unit 103, cut out the zone that needs from view data according to trimming data.The view data that is cut out is transformed into the data that are applicable to the print apparatus that is connected, and sends printer 120 to by communication unit 109.
Figure 11 is the figure of the data structure of the trimming data of being preserved when being illustrated in the trim settings of the image processing apparatus relevant with this form of implementation.
Because the trim settings sign 1101 of Figure 11, sign 1102, printing model 1103 are removed in finishing, the Class1 104 enforcement conducts of paper and the trim settings sign 201 of Fig. 2, sign 202, printing model 203 are removed in finishing, the type 204 identical things of paper are brought into play function, so omit explanation here.
The x coordinate that finishing x coordinate 1105 is illustrated on the image of repairing all upper left corner of frame.The y coordinate that finishing y coordinate 1106 is illustrated on the image of repairing all upper left corner of frame.Finishing x coordinate 1105 and finishing y coordinate 1106 under the situation of adjacent a plurality of finishing frames, are represented the x coordinate and the y coordinate of the upper left finishing frame of all frames.The length of the horizontal direction of a finishing of graded width 1107 expressions frame.The length of the vertical direction of a finishing of finishing height 1108 expressions frame.The round off number of x direction round off number 1109 expression x directions.The round off number of y direction round off number 1110 expression y directions.X direction round off number 1109 and y direction round off number 1110 are recorded as 1 respectively under the situation of having only 1 finishing frame.Under 1005 the situation of Figure 10, x direction round off number 1109 is 3, and y direction round off number 1110 is 2.
Figure 10 1001 in, do not cut apart the finishing frame, x direction round off number 1109 and y direction round off number 1110 are respectively 1.After becoming 1002 states from 1001 states, will repair frame and be divided into cancellate 2 rectangular areas, adding 1 on x direction round off number 1109 becomes 2.After becoming 1004 states from 1002 states, will repair frame and be divided into cancellate 3 rectangular areas, adding 1 again on x direction round off number 1109 becomes 3.After becoming 1005 states from 1004 states, will repair frame and be divided into cancellate 6 rectangular areas, x direction round off number 1109 still is 3, becomes 2 but add 1 on y direction round off number 1110.Because with dashed lines shows (graded width 1107 * x direction round off number 1109) width and (finishing height 1108 * y direction round off number 1110) finishing frame highly of holding to come self-training x coordinate 210 and finishing y coordinate 211, with formed by (x direction round off number 1109 * y direction round off number 1110) individual graded width 1107 and finishing height 1108, be divided into cancellate little rectangular area, so can understand and the print result of corresponding every the output of correction setting with paper.
Therefore, by checking that the trimming data structure just can know the printing number that carried out trim settings and the position and the size of each trim settings.
The trimming data structure of picture number 1111 expression Figure 11 is for which image.In the image processing apparatus relevant, can there be a plurality of identical picture number, represent an image by picture number in same period with this form of implementation.The image that selection will be printed, after selected image is carried out trim settings, the image that becomes object is carried out trim settings,, then be set in demonstration trim settings picture on the display unit 108 according to this if promptly the trim settings sign 1101 of Figure 11 is true.The big or small position of the finishing frame that show this moment will be repaired frame in length and breadth and is divided into cancellate rectangular area one by one and depend on the trimming data of being read.Under the situation of not preserving trimming data, do not carry out reading of trimming data, generate default finishing frame, on display unit 108, show.
If press Menu key 304 on the trim settings picture of Fig. 4, then trim settings finishes, and becomes the situation that can begin to print.And if then indicate printing by the user, then begin to print.Trimming data from Figure 11, be divided under the situation of cancellate rectangular area at the finishing frame, by coordinate position from finishing x coordinate 1105 and finishing y coordinate 1106, graded width 1107, finishing height 1108 calculates, and just can know the x coordinate and the y coordinate of cancellate each rectangular area.
Print by image for picture number 1111, be divided into cancellate each rectangular area about revising frame, cut out as image, after being transformed into the data of printing usefulness, send data to printer 120 and realize from the big or small position that trimming data calculates.
