An electronic device, such as a digital camera, includes a deletion mode whereby a camera/electronic device user can delete captured images or data files that have already been transferred in order to make room in the electronic device or digital camera memory for capturing further images. In one embodiment, a digital camera keeps track of which images have already been transferred to an external storage device and presents those to the user as potential images to be deleted. In another embodiment, the user is presented with a delete all transferred images which when selected deletes all the captured images that have already been transferred. In still another embodiment, deletion criteria are used to prioritize which images are deleted first.

A printing apparatus which is capable of easily issuing an instruction to execute a print job in another file stored at the same storage location without the need to perform a complicated registration operation. The printing apparatus executes a job for printing data based on print settings received from a user. The printing apparatus stores print settings of the job and information indicating a storage location of data printed through execution of the job as a history. The printing apparatus display a selection screen in which a user selects data to be printed from data stored at the storage location when reading the print settings stored.

A calibration method of an image device includes at least two image capturing units included in the image device capturing at least two corresponding images; a processor executing distortion correction on the at least two corresponding images, extracting a plurality of feature points of a predetermined number of planes of an object from the at least two corresponding images, classifying the plurality of feature points according to each plane of the predetermined number of planes to accordingly calculate a point-to-point homography matrix corresponding to the each plane respectively to generate a rotation/translation matrix corresponding to the at least two image capturing units, generating a final rotation matrix corresponding to each image capturing unit of the at least two image capturing units according to the rotation/translation matrix, storing the final rotation matrix in a memory, and calibrating the each image capturing unit according to the final rotation matrix.

Systems and methods realize the benefit of portable storage devices by taking advantage of PCs including an optical disk drive, optical disks, such as a CD or a DVD, and the Internet. An individual patient provides personal data to a healthcare service center. The healthcare service center can then create a portable optical disk for the patient to carry. The personal data written onto the portable optical disk is stored on a database management server database and is readable and updateable by the individual patient using his/her PC with an optical disk drive and connected to the Internet. The individual patient can choose to update his/her personal data on the portable optical disk and can receive a new portable optical disk that includes the update. The new portable optical disk containing the latest update is created and delivered to the patient by the database management server.

A method for capturing an image with audio data includes recording and storing audio data, capturing an image on request, and matching and storing the recorded audio data with the captured image, thereby allowing a user to more lively record an audio signal when an image is captured. An apparatus for capturing an image with audio data includes a camera unit configured to capture an image, an audio data recording unit configured to record audio data, and a controller configured to store an image captured by the camera unit, and match and store audio data recorded by the audio data recording unit for a predetermined period of time after the camera unit captured the image.

Embodiments of the disclosed innovations provide systems and methods for locating data associated with rendered documents. Some embodiments support the use of a handheld document data capture device.

An image connection system including an information gathering unit that gathers information on an image to be captured, an image requesting unit that requests the capture of an image from at least one mobile communication device at a predetermined location for a predetermined fee, an image routing device that routes an image form at least one mobile communication device to the requesting device.

A camera is configured with multiple microphones to reduce wind noise in audio data collected by the camera. The camera receives motion data, which may comprise data indicating acceleration of the camera, a plurality of video frames received by the camera, or a background level of noise associated with one or more microphones configured on the camera. The camera determines a motion vector from the motion data. The motion vector is parallel to the direction of motion of the camera. The camera selects a subset of one or more microphones in the direction of the motion vector. By recording audio data using the one or more selected microphones, the camera reduces wind noise in the audio data.

Tools are provided including intelligent provisions to perform processing of mail at a mailcenter that services plural mail service customers, such as, for example, adapted based on metrics and analytics derived from previous mail processing.

An image device for generating depth images includes at least two image capturers and a rotating device. When the rotating device rotates the at least two image capturers, multiple images captured by the at least two image capturers are utilized to generate a depth image, wherein a view angle corresponding to the depth image is not less than a view angle of each image capturer of the at least two image capturers.
