- a first image referenced 9 is displayed on screen 5.
- the first image 9 comprises four frames 10 in each of which is presented a photograph taken by means of the digital camera and transferred to the hard disk of the interactive terminal through the card reader.
- the four rectangular frames 10 are arranged side by side two by two so as to adapt to the rectangular shape of the screen 5. However, the four frames 10 do not occupy the entire surface of the screen 5.
- the image 9 comprises lateral borders 1 1 and a lower border 12 unoccupied by the frames 10.
- the lower border 12 makes it possible to display a mode of interactive terminal 1 and includes the following text: "touch a photo to print it" and "touch the ball to choose a screen". Indeed, in the center of image 9, at the intersection of the four frames 10, is displayed a circle, or a ball, referenced 13, which projects slightly over each corner of a frame 10 and in the center of which is displayed a number, here number 1.
- the screen 5 is of the tactile type, that is to say that the fact of touching a given area of the screen 5 is detected and that this information can be traced back to the means calculating the interactive terminal 1 so as to constitute an order.
- the fact of touching one of the photographs of one of the frames 10 constitutes a print command having the effect, at first, of displaying the affected photograph in full screen format as illustrated in FIG. 4.
- Touching the central ball 13 makes it possible to control the display of another series of photographs, passing through the image represented in FIG. 5.
- the lateral zones 11 of image 9 are devoid of any particular inscription and may include a background intended to highlight the photographs displayed in the frames 10. However, the lateral zones 1 1 may constitute control zones like the photographs displayed in the frames 10 or of the ball 13.
- a localized zone invisible on the image 9 is determined which corresponds to a small part of one of the lateral zones 11 to form an access control to the image represented on Figure 3 which allows to delete some of the photographs.
- To secure access to the delete photography command it will be provided either that two successive contacts on the same control zone arranged in the lateral zone 1 1 are necessary, or that two successive contacts in two different control zones arranged in the lateral zones 1 1 are necessary.
- Another portion of the lateral zone 11 can be used to control access to the image of FIG. 6.
- the sending of data over a network can also be controlled in a similar manner.
- Image 14 shown in Figure 3 also includes four frames 10 smaller in size than image 9 in Figure 2 and displaying the same photographs.
- Image 14 also includes a frame 15 placed under the frames 10 and bearing the following text: "confirm the deletion”, below which are displayed two bubbles 16 and 17, the bubble 16 bearing the text "yes", and the bubble 17 with the text "no".
- image 14 we order the deletion of a photograph displayed in one of the frames 10 by touching with the finger each photograph that we want to delete, and which then disappears from its frame 10. The deletion command must be confirmed or invalidated by contact, respectively, on bubbles 16 or 17.
- an offset is made in order to avoid the display of empty frame 10 .
- the deletion of a photograph is carried out by transferring the file relating to this photograph to a parallel folder where the file remains pending until final deletion or recovery, the photograph no longer being viewed in image 9.
- This step of selecting the photographs is generally carried out by the person who took the shots and makes it possible to delete the least interesting photographs which have framing, exposure, etc. defects.
- the image 18 illustrated in FIG. 4 is that which is displayed by the screen 5 of the interactive terminal 1, with a view to printing a photograph after the user has pressed in one of the frames 10 of the screen 9 illustrated in FIG. 2.

- the "update" bubble allows you to transfer and classify the latest photographs from the PCMCIA card of the camera immediately following the series of photographs being viewed in the active folder without waiting for a PCMCIA card presence test in the reader has detected the presence of such a card.
- the "parameter” bubble gives access to the configuration screen illustrated in FIG. 7.
- the "index” bubble makes it possible to print indexing pages, for example contact sheets corresponding to the series of photographs previously viewed, the number of reference of each photograph being printed near each photograph present on a contact sheet.
- the terminal offers the user to print contact sheets of the deleted photographs present in the parallel file, the reference of which can be that of the main file to which letters are added. such as "Old” or "Sup".
- the "cancel” bubble allows you to return to the display of image 9 previously viewed.
- the “exit” bubble allows you to stop the operation of the interactive terminal.
- the image 30 displayed on the screen 5 and illustrated in FIG. 7 allows the professional user of the interactive terminal to make a certain number of adjustments.
- the totality of the files of the photographs taken for a given event forms a file to which is assigned a reference number displayed in box 31.
- the reference number is "C249".
- the hard drive can thus store photographs taken on various occasions while making it easy to find them.
- the bubble 32 marked "empty" constitutes a tactile command making it possible to delete all the photographs of a main folder and of the associated parallel folder, only the folder number displayed in box 31 being kept.
- Each letter constitutes a tactile command, the actuation of which leads to its display in box 31.
- the reference of a file is formed by a letter chosen by the user and displayed to which is added a three-digit number, generated automatically, for example the rank of today's day in the calendar year. With twelve letters displayed under box 31, twelve new files can be created in one day. If the need arises, we can display a larger number of letters and / or provide a reference to two letters and three numbers.
- the bubble 33 constitutes a tactile command making it possible to open an existing file.
- the bubble 34 constitutes a tactile command making it possible to validate the name of a new folder.
- the reference 35 designates a cursor, for example graduated from 0 to 10, which is moved by contact with the finger to the location where it is desired to position it with display of the corresponding number.
- This cursor 35 constitutes a tactile command making it possible to choose the frequency of passage of a multimedia application during the clocked scrolling of the photographs on the image 9.
- two tactile controls are provided, one bearing the mention "Inactivate” and according to which the multimedia application switches to the screen after a fixed period of non-use of the terminal, that is to say without contact on the touch screen 5, a counter being activated on display of an image 9 and reset to zero on each contact on the screen 5, and the other bearing the mention "every " of activation of said application after which the cursor should be adjusted to the chosen location.
- the multimedia application switches to the screen after the selected duration for displaying an image 9 has elapsed, the periods when other images, for example 14, 18, 23 or 28, are displayed are not taken into account. account, i.e. interrupting the counting but without resetting to zero.
- PMCIA time delay which makes it possible to adjust the time for unloading the card from the digital camera to the hard disk of the interactive terminal and this according to the type of card of the 'camera. Its presence is optional.
- the frame 37 entitled “photo text” allows you to choose the mention which is systematically printed at the bottom of a photograph.
- the frame 38 entitled “index text” allows you to choose the text that will be systematically printed with the contact sheets.
- the bubble 39 is a tactile cancellation command making it possible to return to the image 9 illustrated in FIG. 2.
- the photographs will be placed in a given folder in chronological order.
- the interactive terminal will display the new photos downloaded from the card of a digital camera so that the professional or amateur photographer can select them and delete the defective photographs. This avoids subsequently modifying the screen numbers and facilitates the identification by amateur users of the photographs which interest them.
- the interactive terminal may include an integrated means of payment, such as a bank card reader or a prepayment card reader, or even a coin mechanism.
- the microprocessor of the interactive terminal will command the test of the reading means of the PCMCIA card.
- the test will be repeated at the end of said interval. If a card is present in the reader, the card is read, the image file is transferred to the hard drive of the interactive terminal and finally the card is erased, so that a new series of photographs can be taken with the 'camera .
- a common reference file includes an identifier of the port of the PCMCIA card reader, an identifier of the port of the hard disk, the name of the folder, the waiting time between two tests of the reader, an increment variable, the number of images in the folder and the delay time set by the cursor 35.
- a text file is provided to store the texts displayed in boxes 37 and 38.
- the display of a first image as illustrated in FIG. 2 is carried out as follows.
- the photographs contained in the file are displayed one by one.
- the display is restarted at the beginning.
- four series that is to say four times four photographs, have been displayed
- the quantity of photographs available in the file is compared with its number in memory. If there is no difference, the display is resumed, this means that no new photographs have been transferred from the reader to the hard disk. Otherwise, the additional images are renamed chronologically and the display is resumed.
- the invention there is a system for obtaining mobile and interactive digital photographs which can be made available to amateur users in a public or private place independently, requiring only a power supply. standard or a storage battery.
- the intervention of the professional photographer is reduced to a minimum because the order for printing the photographs is carried out by the amateur user himself.
- the amateur user can even take photographs and their unloading in the terminal, for example in an amusement park, in which case the user will only be able to view his own photographs, in particular thanks to a confidential code or by recognition of the PCMCIA card of his camera. This reduces the manpower required to make the photographs available, which allows a substantial saving while offering great comfort of use even to people using the interactive terminal for the first time.
