The method includes: setting a portable phone mode by turning on the portable composite communication terminal, regulating voltage supporting components of the portable phone mode, and performing a general portable phone function; setting a camera mode by turning on the camera in said portable phone mode upon user request for camera operation, said user request being input through a camera mode switch and processed by the controller, regulating voltage supporting components of the camera mode, and performing a camera function; capturing the image of an object upon user request for a photograph in the camera mode; and displaying a captured image stored in a camera memory of the portable composite communication terminal on a display of the portable composite communication terminal upon user request for displaying the image.
Abstract:
A portable terminal device and a program for reading information, which can read a code correctly with simple operations, and a recording medium having the program recorded thereon. A portable telephone with a camera has a camera for inputting information of an image of interest, a small light, which emits light through the operation of ON/OFF button while reading a bar code, an LCD display part for displaying information, and a control part including a CPU for controlling the whole device. The control part switches photography modes depending on the existence of objects such as natural images or bar codes. The control part recognizes a bar code when the device switches to a mode for bar code photography. Then, the device notifies a user of the results of the recognition and then performs a predetermined process based on the content of the recognition.
Abstract:
A mobile computing device is provided having more than one imaging engine, and preferably, two imagining engines. Switching circuitry is provided for switching between the two imaging engines. Each imaging engine is optimized for use in specific applications and includes different specifications from the other imaging engine. Preferably, one imaging engine is optimized to provide higher resolution images than the other imaging engine, and one imaging engine is optimized to focus an object located 7.50 to 12.50 cm from the mobile computing device (near-to-mid range imaging), while the other imaging engine is optimized to focus an object located from 12.50 cm to infinity from the mobile computing device (mid-to-far range imaging). One imaging engine preferably includes a color image sensor, while the other imaging engine includes a black and white image sensor. The imaging engines are preferably supported by a housing of an optical code reading device configured for imaging and decoding optical codes and performing other functions, such as video teleconferencing, capturing and storing digital images, creating and transmitting video e-mail, and performing video surveillance.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a compact, portable system for capturing two dimensional images from printed and related media, as well as three dimensional scenic images, such as photographs, combining the optical features of scanning and photography. A compact, portable image capturing system is provided that is relatively simple and inexpensive, which is easy to operate, rugged, reliable, integrating the navigational and text-gathering functionalities seamlessly, transparently, and reliably, and not prone to optical misalignment, or cessation of scanning and loss of information, obviating much of the repetition of scanning efforts required by the conventional art. The present invention provides a compact, portable system for capturing both two dimensional images from printed and related media, and three dimensional scenic images, such as photographs, while providing constant user feedback of the image quality and effectiveness, during the imaging process.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for processing an incoming call of a wireless telephone having a camera. The method for processing an incoming call comprises the steps of storing an image photographed by the camera in an image storage mode, generating a soundless alarm with respect to the generation of the incoming call when the incoming call is generated in an image photographing mode and maintaining the image storage mode, generating a message that a response to the incoming call cannot be performed when an incoming call holding command is issued in the step of generating the soundless alarm, terminating an incoming call processing, and maintaining the image storage mode, and guiding input of a name of a stored image file when a record termination command is issued in the image storage mode and storing the file name with the stored image file after the file name is input.
Abstract:
A portable mobile unit for conducting information communication by using at least one of character information and picture information, comprising: a sound source being enable to generate a plural number of sounds; an input means for inputting a kind an a condition of the sound to be generated; and a controller means for controlling said sound source upon basis of the input from the input means, and for controlling processing when conducting said information communication, wherein said controller means makes the kind of sound which is set by the input made from said input means generate under the condition which is set by the input made from said input means, during a connecting process to a communicating party of said information communication or during the information communication. With this, there is provided the portable mobile unit, which also supplies aural information to the user when communicating visual information, such as character information or picture information, etc., thereby preventing the communication from coming to be monotonous. This aural information may include something bringing about the game mind therein, thereby enabling the user to enjoy therewith. It is also possible to bring the checking and the alarming to be easily noticed through such the aural information.
Abstract:
Digital cameras which improve operability in checking, storing, and editing shot images have not been satisfactory. A digital camera and a user terminal including a file server are connected over a network. When the digital camera is powered on, it automatically establishes a network connection with the file server in an activation process. When the digital camera shoots an image, this image is transmitted to the file server automatically upon completion of the encoding and compression of the image. When image reproduction is instructed from the digital camera, the image is downloaded from the file sever over the network and displayed on the digital camera.
Abstract:
A printer having a digital camera connected thereto checks whether or not a transfer button of the camera is pressed, and checks the communication mode of the camera in the case where it is pressed. In the case where the communication mode of the camera is a mass storage mode, a conversion command for ordering change to a PTP mode is sent to the camera from the printer. The camera performs a bus reset so as to redo configuration and convert the protocol to the PTP mode. In the case where the communication mode of the camera is the PTP mode or is automatically changed to the PTP mode, the image is transferred to the printer in conjunction with operation of the transfer button. Thus, a desired image is transferred to a host such as the printer according to a transfer instruction of an image by the transfer button, etc. on a device side while a user is not conscious of the state of a communication mode and mode switching of the device such as the digital camera.
