A digital camera with a printer is a digital camera with a printer and includes a communication unit that communicates with a digital camera with a printer that is another apparatus, and an image composition unit that generates a composite image in which a first image captured by the digital camera with a printer that is an owned apparatus and a second image captured by the other apparatus are composited, in which the communication unit transmits the composite image to the other apparatus. A user of the other apparatus can also obtain the composite image. Accordingly, the composite image can be enjoyed by capturing images using a plurality of cameras.

A memo and photo authenticating system comprises a multiuser touch input device configured for input by a plurality of users. The memo and photo authenticating system comprises at least one camera communicatively coupled to the multiuser touch input device. The memo and photo authenticating system comprises at least one processor. The memo and photo authenticating system comprises a non-transitory tangible machine readable medium. The non-transitory tangible machine readable medium comprises instructions configured to cause the at least one processor to capture a freehand memo employing the multiuser touch input device, store the freehand memo in a data storage device, capture at least one image of at least one user employing the at least one camera, store the at least one image in the data storage device, and associate the freehand memo with the at least one image of the at least one user in the data storage device.

A server includes a photo filter module with instructions executed by a processor to identify when a client device captures a photograph. Photograph filters are selected based upon attributes of the client device and attributes of the photograph. The photograph filters are supplied to the client device.

An example image forming apparatus includes a user interface device, an image forming job operator, a processor, and a memory. The processor executes instructions to display a preview screen of a document through the user interface device, perform an embedding process of embedding user-specific information into a plurality of user-specific information input areas included in the document, display state information of the plurality of user-specific information input areas on the preview screen in synchronization with progress of the embedding process, and, when the embedding process is completed, perform an image forming job with respect to the document in which the user-specific information is embedded, through the image forming job operator.

An example image forming device includes an image input unit to receive a plurality of original documents, and a processor to extract handwriting from the respective original documents to generate a printed layer and a handwritten layer for each of the respective original documents, and to reconfigure the printed layers and a plurality of handwritten layers sharing the printed layers as respective files.

An augmented reality experience is provided to a user of a hand held device, such as a mobile phone, which incorporates an electronic processor, a camera and a display. Images taken from video footage are displayed in a display of a hand held device together with a live camera view, to create the illusion that the subject of the video—i.e., the virtual moving image—is present in the field of view of the camera in real time. In this context the term “real world” image means an image taken from reality, such as a physical, real-world scenario using an electronic photo-capture technique, e.g. video recording. A camera of a hand held device is aimed at a well-known object, which is recognisable to the device. A moving virtual image of an actor playing the part of an historical figure, chosen because of its relevance to the object, is displayed.

This video signal processing apparatus includes a signal processing unit that performs tone control on an input video signal having a linear characteristic and a control unit that blends two tone curve characteristics arbitrarily selected from among a plurality of tone curve characteristics prepared in advance and sets the blended tone curve characteristics for the tone control of the signal processing unit.

A mobile client device includes a photo controller to identify when a client device captures a picture. Photo filters are designated based upon attributes of the mobile client device. The picture with a selected photo filter is sent to a server for routing to other client devices.

A memo and gift authenticating system comprises a touch input device configured for input by a user. The memo and gift authenticating system comprises at least one processor. The memo and gift authenticating system comprises a non-transitory tangible machine readable medium. The non-transitory tangible machine readable medium comprises instructions configured to cause the at least one processor to capture a freehand memo employing the touch input device, store the freehand memo in a data storage device, receive gift data corresponding to a gift, store the gift data in the data storage device, and associate the freehand memo with the gift data in the data storage device.

Various methods and systems for a printer having verifiers are disclosed herein. Such methods provide for voiding a printed media in a batch printing run. The methods further correspond to identifying the printed media that is printed as part of the batch printing run as a failed media in an instance an assigned grade fails to satisfy a predetermined threshold, marking the printed media as a failed printed media, determining whether the batch print run is in sequential mode or non-sequential mode, marking the one or more subsequently printed media as additional failed printed media, and reprinting the failed media in sequence after one or more subsequently printed media before continuing the batch printing run if the batch print run is in sequential mode.
