Abstract
Audio and image data are recorded on a receiver by capturing audio information and converting it to digital signals; capturing an electronic image which corresponds to the captured audio information; recording the audio information on the receiver by applying a nonvisible ink to the receiver; and recording the electronic image by applying visible ink to the receiver.
Claims19
A method of using an electronic camera which includes a printer for recording audio and image data on a receiver comprising the steps of:
- a) capturing audio information and converting such captured audio information into digital signals;
- b) capturing an electronic image which corresponds to the captured audio information;
- c) recording the audio information on the receiver by causing the printer to apply a nonvisible ink to the receiver;
- and
- d) recording the electronic image by causing the printer to apply visible ink to the receiver.
A method of using an electronic camera which includes a printer for recording audio and image data on a receiver comprising the steps of:
- a) capturing audio information and converting such captured audio information into digital signals;
- b) capturing an electronic image which corresponds to the captured audio information;
- c) first recording the audio information on the receiver by causing the printer to apply an IR responsive ink to the print;
- and
- d) after application of the IR responsive ink, recording the electronic image by causing the printer to apply visible ink to the print.
A method of using an electronic camera which includes a printer for recording audio and image data on a receiver comprising the steps of:
- a) capturing audio information and converting such captured audio information into digital signals;
- b) capturing an electronic image which corresponds to the captured audio information;
- c) first recording the electronic image on the receiver by causing the printer to apply colored inks to the print;
- and
- d) after reviewing the recorded visible image, causing the printer to apply nonvisible ink to the receiver corresponding to the audio digital signals.
In an electronic camera which includes a printer for recording audio and image data on a receiver the improvement comprising:
- a) means for capturing audio information and converting such captured audio information into digital signals;
- b) means for capturing an electronic image which corresponds to the captured audio information;
- and
- c) control means responsive to the audio digital signals and the captured electronic image for causing the printer to record audio information on the receiver by applying an IR responsive ink to the receiver and record the electronic image by applying visible ink to the receiver.
