![]() ![]() Olympus Optical Co., Ltd., which is one of the joint applicants in this application, also has proposed new media for providing not only visible but audible information in Japanese Patent Laying-Open Publication H6-231466 and Japanese Patent Laying-Open Publication H7-181606, for example. Recently, with the advent of the multimedia age, vigorous attempts have been made to use the sense of hearing in the transmission of information, instead of relying solely on the sense of sight. Thus, over long years, information on photographic objects has been transmitted in the form of still images relying on the sense of sight across wide areas and in a timeless way. Images photographed with various image acquiring devices are printed on printing paper by the silver salt photographic method, or on paper or film by using an ink jet printer, thermal printer or the like. This invention relates to image processing apparatus for printing, with optically readable audio code images added, images acquired with silver salt type cameras, image data handling digital still cameras, image reading scanners and the like. An image processing apparatus as defined in claim 2, wherein said printing device is operable to record an image on printing paper, said image being obtained after combining said visual image with said audio code image. An image processing apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein said printing device is operable to record, on printing paper, said audio code image in superposition on said visual image.ģ. An image processing apparatus comprising: image input means for inputting, as image information, a plurality of photographed images acquired with silver salt type cameras or digital still cameras audio input means for inputting, as audio information, a plurality of sound information code converting means for converting said audio information into an optically readable audio code image a first storage for storing said inputted image information at a predetermined image address in the form of a two-dimensional visual image a second storage for storing said audio code image at a predetermined audio address in the form of a two-dimensional code image link processing means for assigning a photographed image frame number to an image ID and an audio ID, said image frame number being applied to each of said photographed images, and linking said image ID and said audio ID with said image address and said audio address corresponding respectively thereto based on a user's desired combination between a photographed image and a sound and a printing device operable to read, in a unit of said image frame number, said image information from said first storage and said audio information from said second storage by means of said image ID and said audio ID, and making a photographic print with an audio cod image added thereto.Ģ. ![]()
