| 20090044714 | Printing method of image and photo-printing system and digital camera adapted for the same - A method of printing an image and a photo printing system and a digital camera adapted for the printing method are provided. The method of printing an image is a printing method for outputting through a photo printer an image stored in an image storage device. The method includes: setting a temporary printing area on an image to be printed; determining whether or not an option for Paper-full printing in which no space is left on a printing material, is selected; if the Paper-full print option is selected, detecting a face area photographed on the image; determining whether or not the detected face area is included in a printing area; and according to the determination result, adjusting a printing area so that the face area can be included in the printing area. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090129638 | Method of providing automatic sorting packing service sorting photo images according to characters in photo images and kiosk providing the automatic sorting packing service - A method of providing an automatic sorting packing service sorting photo images according to characters contained therein and a kiosk providing the automatic sorting packing service sorting according to characters are provided. The method includes: extracting a characteristic of each character from a face area of each photo image for which printing has been requested; and determining whether a detected character is a new character by comparing the extracted characteristic with a characteristic stored in a database. If the detected character is determined to be a new character, the extracted characteristic is stored in the database, a new packing line is allocated to the detected character, and a corresponding photo image is added to the allocated packing line. If the detected character is determined to be a character that has previously been recorded in the database, the corresponding photo image is added to the packing line of the detected character. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090135274 | System and method for inserting position information into image - A system for connecting a global positioning system (GPS) device to a digital image processing device and inserting position information into an image file created by the digital image processing device, and a method of operating the system are provided. The system comprises a digital image processing device for capturing an image, generating and storing a plurality of image files; and a GPS device for computing a position based on data received from a GPS satellite, wherein, the GPS device comprises a GPS information storage unit for storing inherent information an image file and position information of a position at which the image is captured when a predetermined image capture signal is received from the digital image processing device; and wherein the digital image processing device comprises a GPS information input controller for inserting position information of the position at which the image is captured into the image file. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090161002 | Lens-interchangeable digital photographing apparatus and method for controlling the same - Provided are a lens-interchangeable digital photographing apparatus that can use a suitable lens according to a photographing circumstance, a method of controlling the lens-interchangeable digital photographing apparatus, and a recording medium having recorded therein a program for the method. The lens-interchangeable digital photographing apparatus includes a photographing circumstance analysis unit, a lens suitability determination unit for determining whether a lens installed in the digital photographing apparatus is suitable for a photographing circumstance, a lens search unit for searching for lenses suitable for a photographing circumstance, and a display unit. If the lens suitability determination unit determines that the installed lens is not suitable for the photographing circumstance, lenses suitable for the photographing circumstance analyzed by the photographing circumstance analysis unit from among lenses searched by the lens search unit are displayed on the display unit to be recommended. | 06-25-2009 |
