02 is for supplying a control signal clock to each circuit in this block, and is used to generate a shutter operation control signal for COD 401 and a clock for reading out an image signal.
Clock generation to DS403, A/D converter 404
The address controller 406 generates clocks for the address controller 406 and the address controller 406. The CDS 403 performs sampling for double correlation on the output image signal of the CCD 401. A/D converter 404 is CCD 401
This converts analog output image signals into digital data. In this embodiment, an 8-pit A/D converter is used as the A/D converter 404, but an appropriate number of bits can be selected depending on the required image quality. The internal memory 405 has a fast access time, for example, SR.
AM is used to take in serial data from the CCD 401 and save image data. This internal memory 4
05 has a work #4 area, which is a work during image processing, in addition to an image area having a capacity capable of storing at least one frame of a projected image.

Further, the internal memory 405 also stores the results of data compression processing performed by the processor 407.

After further compression processing such as WB processing and γ correction processing is performed on the 1B data, it is written to the same address again.

Note that WB processing is performed using a table ROM 408 in which conversion coefficients predetermined for color temperature information from the WB sensor 412 are stored.
The γ correction process further converts the color-converted data via a table ROM 408 in which predetermined conversion coefficients are stored. In addition, the compression process, for example, separates the original data into a luminance Y signal and a color difference C (U, V) signal, compresses it to 2/3, and then calculates the difference from the previous value for each Y, U, ■.

i's DYIJV compression method.

A buffer 409 is interposed between the internal memory 405 and the IC card 2, and temporarily stores output image data from the internal memory 405. Address controller 1/roller 41
0 outputs the memory contents of the buffer 7409, and the IC card 2
It generates a write address signal for writing to.

Gate 411 is connected to internal memory 405 or IC power code 2.
It is used to switch the connections between the CPU 3 and the block processor 407, and to connect the internal memory 405 and the IC power code 2.
Switching is controlled by 01.

Note that 413 is a device that converts the analog signal of the WB sensor 412 into digital, and 210 is an internal battery of the IC card 2.

The operation of the above block configuration will now be described. C.P.
When the start switch SR is turned on in the photographing mode, the tJ301 outputs a start signal to the COD-TG 402 and drives the photometry section 303 to perform photometry. The exposure control unit 306 controls the aperture based on the aperture value Av obtained from the photometry results, and further outputs a shutter control signal to the CCD-TG 402 in accordance with the exposure time Tv to control the CO
Exposure D401 is performed.

After the exposure is completed, the CPU 301 switches the address controller 406 to output a serial signal and outputs a read permission signal to the CCD-TG 402. As a result, the image data captured in the COD 401 is transferred to the internal memory 405. After transfer, CPU3
01 connects the address controller 406 to the processor 407
communication is performed by switching to the side, and outputs a command signal to perform WB processing, γ correction processing, etc., and further compression processing on the image data, as will be described in detail in FIG. The image data subjected to each process is then stored in the internal memory 405 again.

switches the gate 411 to connect the internal memory 405 and the IC card 2, and also connects the address controller 40.
6, 410 to output an address signal. This results in
Image data in internal memory 405 is transferred to IC card 2 via buffer 409 .

Next, a block diagram of the printer section will be explained with reference to FIG.

The address controller 414 transfers compressed image data that has been subjected to various processes in the IC card 2 to a predetermined position in the processing work memory 416 in response to instructions from the processor 415. Note that the above-mentioned predetermined means, for example, that data is stored for each row of the memory. Further, the address controller 414 decodes the address signal from the processor 415 and outputs the address signal to the work memory 416 during each signal processing described later.

The work memory 416 has a short access time, for example, SR.
ΔM is used for importing compressed data in the IC card 2, temporarily storing data, and saving processing results. Table ROM 4 17 contains gamma correction coefficient data for converting image data for a TV into image data for a printer, and bitmap data for area gradation of a book in order to apply gradation to printed pixels. It is written in advance.

The processor 415 demodulates the compressed data in the IC card 2, that is, expands it, converts the data for printer use, and also performs the above-mentioned γ correction and area gradation using the table ROM 17. In other words, the compressed data is expanded and the luminance Y
and a color difference C signal, which will be described later, and from these signals, a complementary color signal matching the color of the printer's ink is created. Then, γ correction according to the printer is performed from this complementary color signal.

Furthermore, area gradation is performed for each color of each pixel using the bit map in the table ROM 417, and the result is stored in the line sequentialization memory 418 to create data for each line with a width of 4 dots. Each time the above processing for one line is completed, the processor 415 outputs a completion signal to the CPLJ 301.

In addition, in the case of the aforementioned CD-1 system, compressed data decompression processing is performed by finding the true difference based on the data on the IC card 2, and adding this difference data to the previous and adjacent values to restore the original data. The ADC, which will be described later,
In the case of the T method, the data in the IC input code 2 is reproduced into the original data by performing an inverse transformation of the transformation performed at the time of compression. The γ correction process converts image data created for a TV into image data for a printer using a table ROM. Furthermore, area gradation converts the color intensity of each pixel into the number of printed dots out of 16 dots consisting of 4 bits x 4 bits.

Then, these 4 pits×4 bits are sequentially taken into the line sequential memory 418 as one unit (one pixel).

The line sequential memory 418 has 4 bits for each pixel.
Store x4 bit data for one line and convert it to data for one line (number of horizontal pixels x4) to buffer the printer head 420? 419. The head 420 receives the output from the line sequential memory 418 and the buffer 7419 and is heated to thermally transfer ink to paper. It is.

The operation of the above block diagram will be explained.

When the CPU 301 is in the print mode, the print operation is started when the CPU 301 detects a print start command. }When printing an image stored in the C card 2, the compressed signal data of the image to be printed is transferred from the IC card 2 to a predetermined position in the work memory 416 by the address controller 414. On the other hand, when directly printing the image in the internal memory 405,
The address controller 406 prints j! in the internal memory 405! s4 (page) in which ii@ is stored is selected and taken into the work memory 416 via the gut 414 and processor 415.

Next, CPL, 1301 tells processor 415,
Commands signal processing for printing.

The processor 415 receives the command from the CPIJ 301, reads the image data from the work memory 416, and reads the image data from cy<
The above-described processing is performed on the ink colors of cyan), Ye (yellow), Mg (magenta), and Bk (black) in this order. CPU301
When detecting the end of the processing for one line, it controls the line sequential memory 418 and head 420 to print the one line. Each time this printing operation for one line is completed, the head 420 is moved one line in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2(B) to prepare for printing the next line. In this way, the printing process of one frame of image for one color is completed. When the printing process for this one color Cy (cyan) is completed, Yet (yellow) and Ma (v
The same printing process as described above is repeated in the order of (black) and Bk (black), thereby completing the printing process of one frame of image.

Alternatively, the head 420 may be moved by one line to form an image for one frame each time the printing process for four colors is completed for each line.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram of TV playback, and an address controller 421 transfers compressed image data in the IC card 2 to a predetermined position in a video output memory 423 in accordance with a command from a processor 422. In addition, the above-mentioned predetermined
For example, it means storing data in each row of memory. Further, during signal processing, the address controller 421 decodes the address signal from the processor 422 and outputs the address signal to the video output memory 423, and furthermore, when outputting the composite signal from the video output memory 423, the address controller 421 decodes the address signal from the processor 422 and outputs the address signal to the video output memory 423. Generates serial address and clock for D/A converter 424. The video output memory 423 is a memory with a short access time, such as an SRAM, or an IC.
It is used to take in compressed image data in the card 2, temporarily store processed data during signal processing, and store the NTSC video signal that is the processing result.

The processor 422 decompresses compressed image data.
At that time, what about the Pl degree Y and color difference C signals? 'T encoding (encoding) to create an NTSC composite signal. This expansion process is performed in the same manner as described above. Also,
In the above encoding (encoding), the color difference C signal is modulated using subcarriers and added to the luminance Y signal.

The D/A converter 424 decodes the NTSC composite signal into an analog TV signal. Note that the 75Ω driver 425 is for matching with the TV.

Regarding the above block diagram, the operation at the time of TV output will be explained.

When the CPJJ 301 detects that the TV playback mode has been entered, the playback operation by the TV is started.

The image stored in IC card 2 is sent to TV output terminal 1.
13, compressed image data to be output to the TV is transferred from the IC input card 2 to a predetermined position in the video output memory 423 by the address controller 421. On the other hand, when the image in the internal memory 405 is to be played back on TV, the address controllers 406 and 421 select a frame (page) in the internal memory 405 in which the image to be played on TV is stored, and and is taken into the video output memory 423. Next, the CPU 301 enables the processor 422 and the address controller 421 to communicate with each other, and instructs the processor 422 to process signals for TV playback.

The processor 422 receives instructions from the CPU 301,
The image data is read line by line from the video output memory 423, various processes described below are performed, and the resulting digital NTSC signal is written into the video output memory 423 again. At this time, not only iliim data but also horizontal and vertical synchronization signals are added.

In addition, if the original image is a field image with a horizontal line density of 1/2, pseudo frame image processing is performed when writing to the video output memory 423, so that one frame image is stored in the image output memory 423. Make it. Then, when the processing for one frame is completed, the processor 422
An end signal is output at 01. When the CPU 301 detects the end signal, the address controller 421 is set to NTS.
Switching to C output, this causes video output memory 423
outputs an NTSC composite signal from D.
/A converter 424 is operated to output an analog TV signal.

Photographing, printing, and output to TV are performed according to each of the above modes.

FIG. 7 shows that the image signal of the CCD 401 is A/D converted,
A flowchart of data processing executed after being captured into internal memory 405 is shown.

First, in #11, R. WB correction is performed on the B signal so that it has the same level as the G signal. This is the above-mentioned ilI
Using the color temperature coefficient determined by the color temperature information from the color systems 412 and 413, the signal level is set to be the same when the reference white image is illuminated with light of the set color temperature. This is a correction. This WB correction is performed sequentially in the column (loss) direction 256 times (768/3), that is, for one row, in units of three RGB pixels shown in FIG.

Next, in #12, γ correction is performed on the G signal and the WB-corrected R and B signals. This γ correction is also performed sequentially for one row in the column (horizontal) direction in the RGB three-stroke position as described above.

In #13, matrix processing is performed on the above-mentioned WB-corrected and γ-corrected signal using, for example, the calculation formula described later,

0.7OR-0.59G-0.1 1BB-Y=0.8
9R-0.59G-0.30B Next, in #15, low-frequency processing is performed on the luminance signal Y, and in #16, predetermined coefficients are applied to each of R, G, and B in order to reduce aliasing distortion of each pixel. At the same time, the R, G, and B levels are adjusted to form point-sequential signal levels in the high frequency region. This low range (#15
) and Takashiro (#16) processing is also performed sequentially for one row in the column (horizontal) direction in units of three RGB pixels as described above.

When the above processing is completed, the band limits of the color difference signal and luminance signal are sequentially set (horizontally) as necessary in #17 and #18.
Do one line in the direction. Furthermore, a luminance signal is created by adding the low frequency luminance signal and the high frequency luminance signal obtained in #15 and #16 in terms of frequency (#19). This luminance signal creation process is sequentially performed 256 times in the column (1) direction, that is, for one row.

After the above processing is completed, when this signal is to be played back on a TV, a burst signal and horizontal and vertical signals are added to the entire image to convert it into a standard television signal such as an NTSC signal (#20 ~ #22》.

As described above, the buffer 419 converts the parallel data of the number of bits for one row supplied from the line sequential memory 418 into serial data and outputs the serial data to the head drive circuit 432. This head drive circuit 432 heats and drives the thermal head 420 using the output from the buffer 419.

@Structure section I11@Circuit 433 controls each mechanism shown in FIG. 9 based on instructions from CPIJ 301, and includes a head drive pulse motor 434 that drives the thermal head 420 in the scanning direction, and a transfer ink film 201.
A transfer ink film winding motor 435 that drives the winding member 220 and a color band detection sensor 222 are connected to each other.

The operation in the above block configuration will be explained.

When the CPtJ 301 detects that the print mode has been entered, it outputs a print command signal to the head drive circuit 432. The head drive circuit 432 prints the thermal head 4 from one line of dot data supplied from the buffer 419 based on the print command signal from the CPLJ 301.
20 to print the Cy color on the first line. Then, the head driving pulse motor 434 moves the thermal head 420 one line above the print frame 202 in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. By alternately repeating printing with the Cy color and moving the thermal head 420, the first color printing with the Cy color is completed. After that, the CPtJ 301 uses the head driving pulse motor 434 to return the thermal head 420 to the reference position, that is, to the first line, and the transfer ink film winding motor 435 drives the transfer ink film 204 to be wound by one color. to set the Ye color.

Then, as described above, printing in Ye color and movement of the thermal head 420 are repeated alternately to complete printing in Ye color. Thereafter, the same procedure is performed for the MO color and the Bk color, and in this way, the print reproduction of the image using the composite color is completed.

In addition, instead of the above-mentioned method, Cy. Ye, M.O. Each color of Bk may be printed.

FIG. 12 is a block diagram when a monitor display is performed on the display unit 106.

Note that in the figure, the same numbers as in FIG. 6 indicate the same items. The character output memory 440 is, for example, a RAM or the like, in which each character data sent from the CPtJ 301, such as the frame number displayed together with the image on the display unit 106, printing in progress, printing complete, etc., is written. Further, instead of the RAM, a character generator that outputs predetermined character data in response to an instruction signal from the CPU 301 can also be used.

The compositing unit 441 is for configuring one screen by composing video output and character output. The display device 442 is, for example, a liquid crystal TV monitor having the display unit 106, and has a D/A
The signal input from the converter 424 is displayed on the monitor. The drive circuit 443 scans the display screen of the display unit 106 and applies voltage to the liquid crystal element.

Since the monitor display on the display unit 106 is performed during print operation or TV playback, each time the access button ST or SW is turned on after the print operation transition switch SP or TV output switch Sv is turned on. Then, the image stored on the display unit 106 is reproduced.

First, when reproducing an image, as explained in Fig. 6,
Image data processed for TV output is stored in the video output memory 423. This image data can be accessed using the access button S.
This is the one stored in the frame number in the IC memory 2 or internal memory 405 selected by T or SW.

On the other hand, the display of the frame number, printing in progress, printing completed, etc.
Data from CPU 301 is processed within processor 422 and stored in character output memory 440. and,
The character data in the character output memory 440 and the image data in the video output memory 423 are combined into one screen by a combining section 441. That is, the frame number and the image corresponding to the frame number are displayed. And the above synthetic data is O/
The signal is guided to the display M442 via the A converter 424 and displayed. After the image is displayed on the monitor as described above, when the start switch SR is turned on, the image displayed on the monitor is printed as described above.

In each of the block diagrams of the camera described above, the operation of the camera will be explained next with a focus on the photographing operation based on the flowcharts of FIGS. 13 to 17.

The operation of this camera 1 is based on the CPLI 301 and the CPU 3.
It is controlled by a program in a ROM (not shown) connected to 01.

When the power supply is attached to camera 1, START in Figure 13
Run the routine.

That is, first, it is determined whether the main switch SM is turned on (#101). Main switch SM
If it is off (No in #101>, go to #102 and reset the flag, and if it is displayed on the display unit 106, turn off this display (#103)
, returns to #101 again and waits for the main switch SM to be turned on. Then, when the main switch SM is turned on (YES in #101), or if it is already in the A state when the power supply is installed, the interrupt (INT) described later is enabled (#104), and the switch returns to #105. move on.

In #105, it is determined whether the start switch SR has been pressed and changed from off to on. If the start switch SR is not pressed (NO in #105), return to #101 and repeat the routine of #101 to #104. On the other hand,
When the start switch SR is pressed (YES in #105),
Turn on the power of the CCD 401 (#106). That is, the power supply section 307 receives the signal (P) from the CPU 301 shown in FIG. 3 and supplies the high voltage VH to the COD as a power supply voltage. At the same time as this power supply starts, CCD40
An instruction signal for initialization of CCD 1 is output to the COD-TG 402, and the residual charge of the CCD 401 is erased (#
107). Next, photometry is performed using photometry aB 3 0 3, and the exposure time variable T V N aperture value Av is calculated (#
108). Also, it is determined from the photometry result whether the subject is at low 111i degrees or not (#'l09), and if it is determined that the subject is at low 11 degrees (YES at #109), the flash The light emission timing is calculated based on the photometric value (#111). Next, it is determined whether the charge storage capacitor in the flash unit 305 has already been charged with the necessary charge, and if charging is not completed (NO in #112), the incomplete charge flag is set to "1".
” to start charging (#113, #114), and when charging is completed (YES in #112), proceed to #115.
At step 115, confirm the completion of charging, stop charging, and proceed to step #1.
In step 16, it is determined whether the unfilled flag is "1".If the unfilled flag is "1" (YES in #116), #
At step 117, the unfilled flag is set to "0" and the process waits until the start switch SR is turned off (#118).

Then, when the start switch SR is turned off (#118
(YES), return to #101 and perform the so-called release lock. On the other hand, if the unfilled flag is "0" in #116, the process moves to #119 and the exposure system 11l shown in FIG.
Execute subroutine 2.

In FIG. 16, first, INT is prohibited in #401, and the exposure rR interval Tv and aperture 'a' obtained from the photometric calculation are
A v is output to the exposure control section 306 <#402>. The exposure control unit 306 drives the aperture of the camera 1 based on these data, and outputs a shutter control signal to the CCD-TG 402 according to the exposure time Tv to perform exposure of the CCD 401. When the CPU 301 receives a signal indicating that the release has started (exposure start) from the exposure control unit 306 (#403), the CPU 301 controls the CPU 30 based on the flash emission timing determined in #111.
1 (#404). The flash is emitted at a timing after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of exposure of the CCD 401.Next, the CPU 301 starts the exposure!,11111 part 306 to release the flash. Determine whether a completion signal has been input (#40
5). This determination is made because the exposure time Tv is a predicted value, and if, for example, the subject brightness suddenly increases while the flash timer is counting, the exposure time Tv may be exposed even before the flash emission timing is reached. @ part 30
6 may output a release completion signal. That is, when the exposure control section 306 outputs a release completion signal before the flash emission timing (No. #405 in #406), the exposure operation is ended without emitting the flash. On the other hand, if the flash emission timing is reached before the release is completed (#406
YES>, the flash is emitted and a release completion signal is output to the exposure control section 306 (#407, #
408), terminating the exposure operation.

When this exposure operation is completed, it is determined whether the card flag is "1" in #409, and if it is "1" (YES in #409), the image signal taken into the COD 401 is

), in the case of "0°", the image signal captured by the CCD 401 is controlled to be written into the internal memory 405 of the camera 1 (#410).At this time, when the capacity of the internal memory 405 is saturated (#4 1 6), a display or audio warning will be issued (#417). After writing the image signal to the IC card 2, it is determined whether the capacity of the IC card 2 is saturated as described above. , in case of capacity saturation (#41
2: YES), #4 1 3 sets the card flag to “0”
At the same time, a warning is issued in #414. Note that the address of the internal memory 405 can be set to be continuous with the address of the IC card 2. By doing so, the photographer is notified that the capacity of the IC card 2 has been saturated, and the address of the IC card 2 is set to be continuous with the address of the IC card 2. The image signal is IC input 2
Instead, it can be written to internal memory.

When the above processing is completed, INT is enabled in #415 and the process returns.

On the other hand, in the flowchart of FIG. 13, if it is determined that the brightness is not low as a result of photometry (NO in #109), the subroutine 11]1 of exposure control without flash emission shown in FIG. 15 is executed (#110). ) In Figure 15,
First, INT is prohibited in #301, and the exposure time Tv and aperture value Av obtained from the photometric calculation are output to the exposure control section 306 (#302). The exposure control unit 306 drives the aperture of the camera 1 based on these data, and also controls the shutter control signal COD according to the exposure time Tv.

When the PU 301 receives a signal from the exposure control unit 306 indicating that the release has started (start of frosting) (#30
3) Start a timer for measuring the camera shake limit time (#304). This hand-held shooting limit time indicates the maximum exposure time at which dancing can be properly performed without camera shake, and this becomes a problem when a relatively long exposure time without flash emission is required. After starting the timer, it is determined whether a release completion signal has been output from the exposure control section 306 during the counting operation of the timer, as in the case of flash emission (#305). When the exposure time Tv is reached before the camera shake limit time elapses (No in #306), the exposure control unit 306 outputs a release completion signal (YES in #305) and ends the exposure operation. On the other hand, if the timer count completes before the release is completed (YES in #306), the CPtJ301 forcibly outputs a shutter close signal to the exposure control unit 306, assuming that the camera shake limit time has been reached (#307). Terminates the exposure operation.

When this exposure operation is completed, it is determined in #308 whether the card flag is "1", similar to the processing in #409 to #417 in the exposure control 2 routine, and if it is "1", (
YES in #308), controls to write the image signal captured in the CCD 401 to the installed IC card 2 (#310), and in the case of II O II, the image signal captured in the CCD 401 is written. is controlled to be written into the internal memory 405 of the camera 1 (#309). At this time, if the internal memory is saturated (YES in #315), a warning is given by display or voice (#316). After writing the image signal to the IC card 2, it is determined whether the capacity of the IC card 2 is saturated as described above, and if the capacity is saturated, (
6311 (YES), #312 sets the card flag to “O”
At the same time, a warning is issued in #313. When the above processing is completed, INT is enabled in #314 and the process returns.

Returning again to the flowchart in FIG. 13, the above #11
When the exposure control subroutine in step 0 or #119 is completed, the process moves to step #120, where the frame number is updated by 1, and this is displayed on the display section 106. Next, when the transport of all the frames is completed and the storage capacity of the IC card 2 and internal memory 405 is saturated (YES in #121), a display or audio warning is given in #122 to alert the photographer. evoke.

No warning will be given if recording is possible.

Then, the process moves to #123 and waits until the start switch SR is turned off, and when the start switch SR is turned off (
(YES in #123), the CPU 301 outputs a signal @(P), turns off the power to the CCD 401, and ends the m-selection for one frame (#124). After the above processing, it is determined whether the flash has been fully charged for the next success (#125). If charging is not completed (#1 25rNO), set the incomplete charging flag to ``'1'' and start charging to complete charging (#1 2
6, #1 27). On the other hand, if charging is completed (#1
25: YES), set the unfilled flag to "0'' and stop charging. (#128, #1 29). After this, return to #101 again and repeat the operations in #101 to #129 above. Repeat.

Next, the first step is to explain the process to be executed when this INT occurs after #104 that enabled INT.
This will be explained using the flowchart shown in FIG. This INT is I
This occurs when the switch SC that detects the presence or absence of the C card 2, the switch SP that detects transition to print operation, the switch SV that instructs TV playback, and either of the access buttons ST or SW are turned on.

When this INT occurs, it is determined in #201 whether the incomplete charge flag is ``1'', and if it is ``1'', it is assumed that INT has occurred while charging the charge storage capacitor, and #201
At step 2, charging is temporarily stopped, and if the temperature is 'O'°, #202 is skipped, and at #203 it is determined whether the switch SC has been turned on from off. If the switch SC remains off (No in #203), it is determined that the IC card 2 is not installed, and the card flag is set to "O" and a display indicating that the IC card 2 is not installed is displayed. (#20
5, #206).

On the other hand, when switch SC is turned on (YES in #203)
), the IC card installation subroutine of #204 is executed.

Figure W517 is a flowchart explaining this subroutine. That is, first, in #501, a memory map indicating the storage state of images in the IC card 2 is read out, and in #502, it is determined whether the storage capacity is saturated, that is, whether images can be stored. If image storage is possible (#502t'NO), set the card 7 lag to "1" and display that an IC card is present (#503, #504), indicating that the memory capacity is already saturated. (YES at #502), set the card flag to “0”
” and give a warning (#505, #506
), return.

Returning to FIG. 14, next, it is determined whether the switch SP has been turned on from off. When the switch SP is turned on (YES in #207), it is determined that the movable part 101a has been pulled out and the printing operation has started, and the process proceeds to #208.
On the other hand, if switch SP remains off (#207
o), proceed to #229. In #208, a display is made to indicate that the camera is currently in print mode, and then it is determined whether the access button ST has been changed from off to on, that is, has been pressed (#209). When the access button ST is turned on (YES in #209), the process moves to #210, and when the access button ST is turned off, remains on, or is turned off from on (NO in #209>, the process moves to #215) do.

At #210, it is determined that the access button ST has been pressed, and the frame number is incremented by 1 and displayed on the display section 106, and the address controller 421 changes the frame number to the corresponding frame number in order to reproduce the image corresponding to the frame number. The corresponding address data is output (#211). After allowing time for the above processing in #212, image information corresponding to the current frame number is displayed on the display unit 106 (#213). Then, the process returns to #209 and repeats the process of incrementing the frame number by 1 each time the access button ST is pressed and displaying the image corresponding to the frame number on the display unit 106 on the monitor. on the other hand,#
In 215, it is determined whether the access button ST is on or not. If it is on (YES in #215), the process returns to #209, and if it is off (No in #215), the process moves to #216.

Next, when the access button SW is turned on instead of the access button ST (YES in #216), the process moves to #217, and when the access button SW is turned off or remains on, or is turned off from on (# If NO in 216, the process moves to #222.

In #217, it is determined that the access button SW has been pressed, and the frame number is incremented by 1 and displayed on the display unit 106, and the address controller 421 changes the frame number to that frame number in order to play back the image corresponding to this frame number. The corresponding address data is output (#218). After waiting for the above processing time in #219, the image information corresponding to the current frame number is displayed on the display unit 106 (#220). Then, the process returns to #216, and the process of decrementing the frame number by 1 each time the access button SW is pressed and displaying the image corresponding to the frame number on the display unit 106 is repeated. On the other hand, #2
In 22, it is determined whether the access button SW is on, and if it is on (YES in #222), #21 6
Return to , and if it is off (#222T-No), #25
Transition to 0.

In #250, it is determined whether the erase switch SE is turned on. When this erase switch SE is turned on (#
250: YES), the image displayed on the monitor on the display unit 106 is erased from the IC power supply 2 or the internal memory 405 (#251>, the process moves to #203. On the other hand, if the erase memory SE is not turned on, l.t (N at #250
O), the process moves to #223 and it is determined whether the start switch SR has been turned on.

If the start switch SR is not turned on (NO in #223)
), it is determined that printing is not to be performed, the process returns to #203, and the above process is repeated. On the other hand, when the start switch SR is turned on (YES in #223), the CPU 301 outputs a print command signal to the processor in the block 302 ($224) in order to proceed to the print operation. The processor receives the above signal and causes the printer section to start a printing operation. On the other hand, the CPU 301 displays on the display unit 106 that printing is in progress, and controls the printing operation described above (#225, #226>).

At #227, the printer waits for the printing to be completed, and when a print completion signal is output (YES at #227), the display indicating print 1 to completion is turned on. With the above operation,
Printing for one frame is completed, and the process returns to #203.

On the other hand, if switch SP is not turned on in #207,
It is determined that no printing operation will be performed and the process moves to #229. That is, in #229, it is determined whether the TV playback switch Sv is turned on. TV playback switch Sv
is off (No in #229), it is determined that the TV will not display the playback and the process moves to #241.
When the V regeneration switch SV is turned on (YE in #229)
S) Displays a playback mode indicating that playback and display will be performed on the TV (#230).

In this playback mode, it is next determined whether the access button ST or SW is pressed (#231,
#236). When the access button ST is turned on (#231
YES>, the frame number is incremented by 1 and displayed, and the address controller 421 outputs the address data corresponding to this frame number in order to reproduce the image corresponding to this frame number (#232, #233). . Next, as described above, the image information corresponding to the current frame number is displayed on the TV monitor (#234). Then, return to #231,
Each time the access button ST is pressed, the frame number is incremented by 1, and the process of displaying the image corresponding to the frame number on the TV is repeated. On the other hand, in #235, it is determined whether the access button ST is on, and if it is on (YES in #235), the process returns to #231, and if it is off (No in #235), the process moves to #236. do.

Next, when the access button SW is turned on instead of the access button ST (YES in #236), the process moves to #237. On the other hand, if the access button SW is turned off or remains on, or is turned off from on (NO in #236), move to #240.

In #237, it is determined that the access button SW has been pressed, and the frame number is decreased by 1 and displayed, and the address controller 421 selects this piece? In order to reproduce the image corresponding to No. l, address data corresponding to the frame number is output (#238). Next, as described above, the image information corresponding to the current piece number is displayed on the TV monitor (#239
). Then, the process returns to #236, and the process of decrementing the frame number by 1 each time the access button SW is pressed and displaying the image corresponding to the frame number on the TV is repeated.

On the other hand, in #240, it is determined whether the access button SW is on, and if it is on (YES in #240), #
Return to 236, if off (No in #240), #2

). When both access buttons S and SW are off, lens switching is not performed. And, at the peak of this INT,
Determine whether the unfilled flag is “1” (#245
). If the incomplete charging flag is “1”, INT is activated during charging.
Since this has occurred, the charging operation that was interrupted in the uncharged state is resumed (#246), and then the process returns. If the uncharged flag is "0", the process returns directly.

Next, FIGS. 18 to 32 show the data from the IC card 2 to the CRT.
7 (hereinafter referred to as TV7), from IC card 2 to CD
- To ROM4, from IC card 2 to TV phone 11 and I
The blocks that lead stored image data from the computer code 2 to the FAX 10 are shown.

Note that in Figures 18 to 21, the stored image data is NTSC.
In the case of a signal, FIGS. 22 to 25 show that the stored image data is R.
In the case of GB signals, Figs. 26 to 29 show cases in which the stored image data is a color difference signal, and Figs. 3o and 31 show cases in which the stored image data is stored in the ADCT compression method instead of the CD-1 compression method. In this case, FIG. 32 is a diagram showing a case where a video telephone and a FAX are integrated.

First, FIG. 18 is a block diagram for reproducing image data stored in the IC card 2 on the TV 7. In the figure, 50A is a converter having an expander 501A, which adds a value to the differentially compressed image data to restore the original image data.

The image data in the IC card 2 is stored in the form of differentially compressed NTSC signals. The differentially compressed data output from the IC drive 2 is returned to the original image data by the decompressor 501A and output.

Since this output signal has been converted to an NTSC signal, it is directly output to the TV 7 and reproduced.

FIG. 19 is a block diagram for transferring image data stored in the IC card 2 to the CD-ROM 4. Reference numeral 60A denotes a converting unit that restores the differentially compressed image data to the original image data and performs CD-1 processing, and includes an expander 601Δ, a color difference conversion circuit 602A, and a differential compression circuit 603A.

The image data in the IC card 2 is stored in the form of differentially compressed NTSC signals. The differentially compressed data output from the IC card 2 is returned to the original image data by the decompressor 601A. Next, the color difference conversion circuit 602A performs
The luminance Y signal and chrominance C signal are separated from this expanded image data, and the next-stage compression circuit 603A differentially compresses the luminance Y signal and chrominance C signal, respectively.
I processing is performed and the tumor is injected into CD-ROM4.

1 is a conversion unit that returns the differentially compressed image data to the original image data and performs thinning processing, and includes an expander 701A and a thinning circuit 702A.

The image data in the IC card 2 is stored in the form of differentially compressed NTSC signals. The differentially compressed data output from the IC card 2 is returned to the original image data by the decompressor 701A. Since the image data is an NTSC signal, it can be directly input for TV use, but it is output to the TV telephone 11 after being subjected to a predetermined thinning process by the thinning circuit 702A in consideration of the transmission capacity of the telephone line. In addition,
When using ISDN (digital communication network) as the telephone line, the thinning circuit 702A may be removed.

FIG. 21 is a block diagram for outputting image data stored in the IC card 2 using the FAX 10. 80A
1 is a conversion unit that restores the differentially compressed image data to the original image data, performs RG8 conversion, and further performs compression processing, and includes an expander 801A, an RGB conversion circuit 802A, and an ADCT compression circuit 803A.

The MPU 808A not only controls the entire block and manages the flow of image information, but also performs general control such as communication control and network control. The RGB conversion circuit 802A converts the expanded original image data into RGB color signals. ADCT compression circuit 803A is 180/
A type of transform coding based on the JTC1/802/WG8 and N800 standards, in which multiple signals from low frequencies to high frequencies are extracted by orthogonally transforming the image signal, and among these extracted signals, island frequency components are generally Focusing on the fact that the correlation with the original signal decreases as the signal has higher frequency components, data compression is performed by reducing the number of sampling bits for signals with higher frequency components. First, it is also possible to reduce the number of sampling bits of a component of a certain constant frequency. Then, the screen is divided into blocks of an appropriate number of pixels, and the numerical string consisting of sample values is orthogonally transformed for each block. That is, in this embodiment, ADCT compression transform is performed by dividing the image signal into blocks of 8 x 8 pixels, and then performing two-dimensional OCT (Discret
orthogonal transformation using Cosine Transforma+). Each transformed term becomes more independent (more unrelated) than the original sample value, thereby suppressing redundant information.

Memory 804A is used as a transmission buffer. The communication lrll tll unit 805A executes a predetermined facsimile transmission control procedure in order to transmit image data to the other party's station. The modem 806A modulates digital data so that a public telephone line, which is an analog line network, can be used for transmission. In this embodiment, the modem 806A performs signal modulation to transmit an ADCT compressed signal onto a TV telephone line. Furthermore, when using ISDN, a modem for that purpose is used. The NCU 807A is for connecting the FAX 10 to the public telephone line network during transmission, and the NCU 810A is for connecting the FAXIO to the public telephone line network during reception.

The modem 811A demodulates analog signals into digital data. As described above, the communication control unit 812A executes a predetermined facsimile reception control procedure to transmit image data to the other party's station. Memory 813A
is used as a receiving buffer. The decompression circuit 814A reversely transforms the input image data that has been subjected to ADCT compression conversion to the original image data. The plotter 815A prints the received facsimile image. The operation display section 809A includes various operation keys and a display, and is used to display operation guidance and perform key operations. Note that the memories 804A and 813
A. Communication control units 805A and 812A, modems 806A and 811A, and NCUs 807A and 81OA are shown separately for convenience of explanation, but they can be used in common in the same device.

In the above blocks, the operations will be explained separately during transmission and reception.

FIG. 32 is a block diagram when a video telephone and a FAX are integrated.

First, a case where the telephone functions as a video telephone will be explained.

There are cases in which an image signal from the COD 900 built into the TV'wi story 11 is transmitted, and cases in which image data stored in the IC card 2 are transmitted. Both of these image signals are
The signal is switched and outputted by a gate 902 controlled by a control unit (not shown) that controls the entire block.

When transmitting an image signal from the CCD 900, this image signal is converted into digital data by an A/D converter 901 and guided to a gate 902. This digital data is subjected to a predetermined thinning process in a thinning circuit 903 and sent to a transmission buffer.
The data is temporarily written to memory 904, which functions as a memory. The output data from the memory 904 is sent to the D/A converter 905.
The signal is converted into an analog signal by the modem 909, modulated into a telephone line signal, and sent to the line via the NCU 910, which controls the network.

On the other hand, when receiving, the received signal that has passed through the NCU 910 is demodulated by the modem 909 and is temporarily taken into the memory 911 that functions as a receiving buffer. Since this image data has been differentially compressed, it is restored to the original image data by the decompression circuit 912 and then guided to the interface 916. Then, the output data of the interface 916 is printed by a blotter 917 or differentially compressed by a CD-1 compression circuit 918 as required, and then written to the installed IC card 2. In this way, by temporarily storing the received image in the IC card 2 as necessary, it becomes possible to reproduce the received image on TV, print it out, or transfer it to another recording medium when necessary.

to move to. Conversely, if the character code is not set, it is determined in step 823 whether or not the character code is set. If the character code is set in 823 (YES in S23) and the data input mode is set (YES in S24>, go to the data input processing subroutine (later in Figure 45) in 825). Execute and return. On the other hand, even if the character code is set, if you are not in data input mode, the
If No in 25 and neither code is set (No in #23 and #24), the process returns directly.

Next, FIG. 40 shows a subroutine for function processing indicated by 322 above.

At 331, it is determined whether the display screen of the TV 7 is in menu mode. If the menu mode is selected (YES in S31), the menu processing subroutine <<41st
(described later in the figure) and return. If it is not the menu mode, it is determined in S33 whether the mode is the standard screen mode.

This standard screen mode refers to a mode in which one image is displayed on the screen of the TV 7. In standard screen mode (Y in S33)

If the data input mode is selected (YES in S37), a subroutine for data input processing is executed in 338, and the process returns. If the mode is not data input mode, the process returns directly.

FIG. 41 shows the menu processing subroutine indicated by 832 above.

This subroutine will be explained below with reference to examples of menu screens shown in FIGS. 48 to 52.

First, FIGS. 48 to 51 will be explained.

In FIG. 48, (a) is the menu mode as the initial screen. On the screen, a white section indicates the selected position of the cursor key. (a) If you select "Playback" on the screen, playback will be displayed on the TV 7. In other words, when you select "Playback" and turn on the enter key (select), the image to be played back will be stored as shown in the (b) screen. Both sides showing the type of recording medium are displayed. Here, for example, if you select "Disc" on screen (b), the disk (C1) will appear as shown on screen (C1).
The album number corresponding to the recording block in the D-ROM 4 (corresponding to D-ROM 4) is displayed. Then, when you select "Album 1" on the (C1) screen, a screen showing the playback display format etc. as shown on the (C2) screen will appear.If you press the enter key again here, you can select "Album 1" from within the recording area of the disc. The recorded images will not be played back. On the other hand, if you select "Rikiichi Do 1" on screen (b), card 1 will appear as shown on screen (C2).
A screen will appear showing the playback display format of the images stored in the memory or whether or not to search. Each screen returns to the previous screen in sequence by turning on the return key. For example, the (C1) screen returns to the (b) screen, and if you press the return key again,
(a> Return to screen.

FIG. 49 shows a case where "copy" is selected in the menu mode. (a> When you select "Coby j" on the screen, (b
) The type of image transfer between multiple recording media is displayed as shown in the screen below. Here, if you select "Card 1 → Disk" on the (b) screen, the IC card 1 will appear as shown on the (C) screen.
The album number indicating the block that records the image transferred from within is displayed. Then, when "Album 1" is selected on the (C) screen, the image transfer format is displayed.

Then, when you press the enter key in the state of the (d) screen, I
The images in the C card 2 are transferred and recorded in the album in the disc in the form of a standard screen. Note that, as described above, when the return key is turned on, the screen returns to the previous screen in sequence.

FIG. 50 shows a case where "erase" is selected in the menu mode. When "Erase" is selected on the screen (a), the type of recording medium to be erased is displayed as shown on the screen (b).

Here, if you select "Power-Do 1" on the (b) screen, (C
The form of the screen to be erased is displayed as shown in 1). On the other hand, if you select [Disc J@] on the (b) screen, the album number to be deleted from the disc will be displayed as shown on the (C2) screen. Then, when "Album 1" is selected on the <C2) screen, the format of the screen to be deleted is displayed. Then, when the "standard screen" or "multi-screen" screen (d2) is selected, the images in album 1 are deleted. On the other hand, when "Screen designation" is selected, a designation screen (not shown) is further displayed to allow individual image designation, and after playing back and confirming the images, it is possible to erase each designated image.

Note that, as described above, when the return key is turned on, the screen returns to the previous screen sequentially.

FIG. 51 shows a case where "auxiliary function" is selected in the menu mode. When "auxiliary function" is selected on the (a) screen, titles of "data input" and other functions to be described later are displayed as shown on the (b) screen.

In addition, before j′i! As in 1, if you press the return key, you will be returned to the previous screen in sequence.

Now, in FIG. 41, the CD-ROM driver 3,
The determination is made using the remote controller 5 or the function keys on the keyboard 6. That is, if the force-sor key is pressed (turned on) (YES at S41), the menu to be selected is changed at 842. For example, if you turn on the cursor key on the screen <a> in Figure 48, the white area will change to "copy".
, and this "copy" becomes selectable. Furthermore, when the cursor key is turned on, the white area changes to "erase". If the cursor key is not pressed, it is determined at 843 whether the enter key has been turned on.

If the enter key is turned on, YES at $43),
In S44, the process moves from the next menu or menu mode to screen mode. For example, when the enter key is turned on in the screen (a) of FIG. 48, the screen moves to the screen (b), and when the enter key is turned on again, the screen moves to the screen (C1). In addition, the same figure (C2
) When the enter key is turned on on the screen, the image data in the IC card 1 is displayed on the TV 7 on a standard screen. If the enter key is not pressed, it is determined at 845 whether the clear key has been turned on. If the clear key is turned on (YES in step S45), the process returns to the previous menu screen in step 846. For example, when the clear key is turned on in the screen shown in FIG. 48 (C1), the screen returns to the (b) screen, and when the clear key is turned on again, the screen returns to the (a) screen.

FIG. 42 shows the standard screen processing subroutine indicated by 834 above.

In this process as well, determination is made using the CD-ROM driver 3, remote control 5, or function key of the keyboard 6. That is, if the cursor is turned on (YES at S51), the image currently being played back on the TV 7 is changed to the next or previous image at 852. If the cursor key is not pressed, it is determined at 853 whether the enter key has been turned on. If the enter key is turned on (YES in S53). At step 854, a timer for automatically advancing the playback screen sequentially is started or conversely stopped, and the image is returned to advancing using the cursor keys. .

If the enter key is not pressed, it is determined at 855 whether the clear key has been turned on. If the clear key is turned on (YES in S55), the process returns to the menu mode screen or multi-screen in 856. For example, TV7
If the clear key is turned on while an image is being played back, the screen returns to the menu mode such as the screen shown in FIG. 48 (C2).

Also, if you are transitioning from multi-screen to standard screen,
Turn on the clear key to return to the multi screen again.

Here, the multi-screen will be explained using FIG. 52.

The multi-screen has a display section D1 that plays back images of 20 frames, for example, and a display section D1 that displays the type of recording medium in which the played images are stored, such as "Card 1→j" as shown in the figure.
Display section D2 displayed below 1, the previous 20 frames of images,
Or "previous group" to select the next 20 frames of images.
, consisting of "next group" display sections D3 and D4. Also,
SFt is a selection frame that can be moved between each image area within the display section D1 or each of the display sections D2 to D4 by operating the cursor keys. Then, when the enter key is turned on, the processing described later with reference to FIGS. 43 and 44 is executed.

FIG. 43 shows the multi-screen mode subroutine indicated by 836 above.

In this process as well, determination is made using the CD-ROM driver 3, remote control 5, or function key of the keyboard 6. In other words, if the cursor key is pressed (turned on) (YES in S61), the selection frame SF1 is moved up, down, left and right in the currently playing multi-screen at T7 in 862, and the selected image or each display is Change the selection of sections D2 to D4.If the cursor key is not pressed, proceed to S63.
Determine whether the enter key is turned on.

If the enter key is turned on (YES in S63)
, 864, a subroutine for enter processing in the multi-screen mode (explained in FIG. 44) is executed. If the enter key is not pressed, it is determined in S65 whether the clear key has been turned on.

If the clear key is turned on (YES in S65>, S
66 returns to the menu mode screen. For example, when a multi-image is being played back on the TV 7, if the clear key is turned on, the screen returns to the menu mode such as the screen shown in FIG. 48 (C2).

FIG. 44 shows a subroutine for enter processing in the multi-screen mode described above.

First, in 871, it is determined whether the display sections D3 and D4 shown in FIG. 52 are selected by the selection frame SF1.

If display sections D3 and 04 are selected, select YES in S71.
S), 872 is the image of the previous group 20 frames, or the next group 2
Plays back 0 frames of images.

If display parts D3 and D4 are not selected, $73
to determine whether it is in multi-screen playback mode.

If it is in the playback mode (YES in S73), the image selected in the selection frame SFt is displayed on the standard screen in step 874.
Figure, S62》. If it is not the reproduction mode, it is determined in step 875 whether it is the coby mode. If it is in the coby mode (YES in S75>, in 876 the image selected in the selection frame SF1 is copied to the specified recording medium, for example "card → disc". If it is not in the coby mode, in 877 Determine whether it is in erase mode. If it is in erase mode (YES in S77), 87
Delete the image selected in step 8.

FIG. 45 shows the data input processing subroutine indicated by 338 above.

In this process, discrimination is performed using the CD-ROM driver 3, the remote control 5, or the function key of the keyboard 6 and the character key 392 of the keyboard 6. In other words, if the cursor key is pressed (turned on), S
81 (YES), move the cursor display position in S82,
Next, when the enter key is turned on (YES in S83)
, 884 to register the input search data. On the other hand, when the clear key is turned on (S85: YES), the search data at the cursor position is erased at 886. Next, if the character key is pressed (YES' at S87), search data is input at the cursor position at 888. This data input is performed using the character key 39 when recording on the CD-ROM4.
2, the photographing location, date, and additional items are input as search headings for each album as a block. You can also re-enter the information after erasing it.

FIG. 46 shows the image transfer subroutine shown in S4 above.

Once the display mode is set through the processes up to FIG. 45, the process moves to this image transfer subroutine. That is,
If you want to play the screen with 891, select YES in S91).
892, the image to be reproduced is transferred to the image memory 354, and the image is reproduced.

If the copy mode is selected (YES in S93), the image to be copied is written to the recording medium to be copied in step 894. In addition, if the erase mode is selected (YES in S95), S9
In step 6, the target image is erased from the recording medium. When this image transfer process is completed, image creation process is executed next.

FIG. 47 shows the image creation subroutine shown in S5 above.

First, it is determined whether or not to display the menu mode.

To display the menu mode (YES at 8101)
, 8102, the image processor 355 creates a menu screen. On the other hand, if playback is performed in standard screen mode (YES in step S103), the image in the image memory 354 is played back as is.If playback is performed in multi-screen mode (YES in step S104), the image processor 354 is activated in step S105. After performing a predetermined thinning process on the images in the image memory 354, a multi-screen is created.Also, if the data input mode is selected (
8106: YES), 8107: Image processor 3
55 to create a screen for data input. After each of these processes is executed, the process returns.

The screen data created in the process from 82 to S5 in FIG.
and is played or displayed on TV7. Furthermore, after the processes of S7 and S8 described above are executed as necessary, the process returns to S2, and thereafter this process is sequentially repeated.

In this embodiment, a separate keyboard is used as a means for inputting search information, but it may be combined with the CD-ROM driver 3.
