Abstract
In the data identification device in the data reproduction device, contents of decoded data for respective sub-sets are identified by the dot reader. Based upon the identification result, the printer controller controls the printer and then data is printed out. The printer controller stores, in advance, suitable printing methods depending on identification results of the data identification device. If a certain identification result is inputted, the control information generation device outputs printer control information in accordance with the corresponding printing method,. and the data process device processes and outputs data.
Claims6
A data reproduction system comprising:
- a reader for optically reading a code with a predetermined format recorded in an optically readable manner on a data recording medium, and for decoding the code for respective sub-sets, multimedia information which includes at least one of voice information, image information and text information being coded, with a predetermined method, into the data, serving as the codes, in units of sub-sets in said data recording medium, said sub-sets being groups of data each of which can be identified as an information unit;
- and
- a data reproduction device for reproducing and outputting the data decoded by said reader, wherein said data reproduction device includes:
- a data identification device for identifying contents of data for the respective sub-sets, decoded by said reader;
- a printer controller for controlling a printer based on an identification result of said data identification device;
- and
- said printer, controlled by said printer controller, for printing out said data.
