IMAGE PROVIDING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME
An image providing system capable of quickly providing a plurality of different cropped images is disclosed. The image providing system acquires position information about a position of a user designated by the user. The image providing system determines a range of an image that was captured by an image capturing unit, the range corresponding to the position information as a cropping range, before the image capturing unit starts a series of image capturing in which the image capturing unit captures a plurality of images. After the series of image capturing is started, the system applies cropping that cuts out a part of a captured image based on the cropping range. During the series of image capturing, the system provides a cropped image to which the cropping has been applied in a way in which a user can obtain the cropped image.
PRINTER-EQUIPPED CAMERA AND DISPLAYING CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
A printer-equipped camera includes an instant film pack loading unit in which an instant film pack, a first displaying unit of which a displaying surface is arranged to face an exposure surface of an instant film in the instant film pack through the exposure opening with respect to the instant film pack loaded in the instant film pack loading unit, and that exposes the instant film by displaying an image, a light exit direction restriction member that is included on the displaying surface of the first displaying unit and restricts a light exit direction of light from each pixel of the first displaying unit to a constant range, an imaging unit that captures a subject image, a second displaying unit that displays an image to an outside, a print instruction unit that provides a print instruction for the image displayed on the second displaying unit, and a displaying control unit that exposes the exposure surface of the instant film by displaying the image on the first displaying unit.

Collation device
There is provided a collation device capable of capturing a face image suitable for collation by an imaging device while making a display suitable for collation by a display to a person in the front side of a half mirror. By disposing a plurality of displays with predetermined gap in the back side of the half mirror and disposing camera lenses and in this gap, it is possible to make the line of sight for viewing the display and the line of sight for imaging by the cameras be almost the same. As a result, it is possible to capture a face image suitable for collation by an imaging device while making a display suitable for collation by a display to a person in the front side of the half mirror.
Photo terminal stand system
A photo terminal stand system is provided having a case, a one-way mirror, a computer display for presenting a graphical presentation seen through the one-way mirror, a camera, a touch overlay frame, a computer, configured to receive touch input from the touch overlay frame and responsively to activate the camera to record an image or a video sequence, a camera flash, and at least one of a reflector, a wheel bumper brake, and a service step ladder.
COLLATION DEVICE
There is provided a collation device capable of capturing a face image suitable for collation by an imaging device while making a display suitable for collation by a display to a person in the front side of a half mirror. By disposing a plurality of displays with predetermined gap in the back side of the half mirror and disposing camera lenses and in this gap, it is possible to make the line of sight for viewing the display and the line of sight for imaging by the cameras be almost the same. As a result, it is possible to capture a face image suitable for collation by an imaging device while making a display suitable for collation by a display to a person in the front side of the half mirror.
Digital camera including printer
The shape of a camera body of a digital camera including a printer viewed from the front surface is a square shape, and an imaging optical system is positioned at the center of a camera body. An axis crossing an optical axis of the imaging optical system in a vertical direction is referred to as a vertical axis, and an axis crossing the optical axis in a horizontal direction is referred to as a horizontal axis. A grip portion is formed on the camera body at positions that are symmetric with respect to the vertical axis and symmetric with respect to the horizontal axis. The grip portion has an annular shape and a concave shape that is concave from the surface around the grip portion. The imaging optical system is positioned at the center of the annular grip portion in a case where the digital camera including a printer is viewed from the front surface of the camera body.
Modular Photo Kiosk
A modular photo kiosk includes a series of lightweight panels that fit together and attach to a base member. In a preferred embodiment, the panels include a top panel, a center panel, and a bottom panel. The top panel may include on a front portion a pair of compartments, wherein the first compartment receives a camera and video screen (such as an iPad or other tablet device), and the second compartment is used to house a light. The rear of the panels may include one or more channels for receiving power cords, so that the power cords run from the compartments, down the back of the kiosk, and the cord extends from a bottom portion of the kiosk so that it may be plugged into a wall outlet. Attachment means are used to connect the panels together, and are also used to connect the bottom panel to the base member.
Instant film pack and image recording device
In a case that accommodates an instant film, an exposure opening portion, a discharge port, and a claw opening portion are provided. The exposure opening portion is light-shielded by a film cover that is disposed to overlap the instant film. The film cover includes a notched portion connected to the claw opening portion. In a case where the film cover is not removed in use, a claw inserted through the claw opening portion is moved within a range of the notched portion. In a case where the film cover is removed in use, the claw is moved within a range that exceeds the range of the notched portion.
Instant film pack and image recording device
In a case that accommodates an instant film, a first claw opening portion and a second claw opening portion for inserting a claw into the case are provided. In a film cover that light-shields an exposure opening portion of the case, a notched portion continuous to the first claw opening portion is provided. In a case where the film cover is not removed in use, the first claw opening portion is used, and in a case where the film cover is removed in use, the second claw opening portion is used. By using the first claw opening portion, it is possible to avoid contact of the claw and the film cover, and to discharge only an instant film in a state where the film cover is mounted.
