Abstract
Abstract An image reproducing system which can automatically output only a portion of an image recorded on a film which conforms to trimming information set upon photographing as an electric image signal without the necessity of a manual operation. The image reproducing device comprises means for detecting an image recorded on a film, means for reading trimming information of the image, the trimming information being recorded on a record medium when the image has been recorded on the film and representing a condition of reproduction of the image, means for generating an electrical image signal in accordance with the image detected by the detecting means, and means for controlling an output of the electrical image signal to be generated by the generating means in accordance with the trimming information read by the reading means.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
An image reproducing device, comprising: means for detecting an image recorded on a film; means for reading trimming information of the image, the trimming information being recorded on a record medium when the image has been recorded on the film and representing a condition of reproduction of the image; means for generating an electrical image signal in accordance with the image detected by said detecting means; and means for controlling an output of the electrical image signal to be generated by said generating means in accordance with the trimming information read by said reading means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
An image reproducing device, comprising: means for detecting an image recorded on a film; means for reading trimming information of the image, the trimming information being recorded on a record medium when the image has been recorded on the film and representing a condition of reproduction of the image; means for generating an electrical image signal in accordance with the image detected by said detecting means; and means for controlling an output of the electrical image signal to be generated by said generating means in accordance with the trimming information read by said reading means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the trimming information includes magnification information representing a size of a portion to be reproduced in comparison with the whole image recorded on the film.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said controlling means includes means for controlling an area of the image to be detected by said detecting means in accordance with the magnification information.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
48 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 3, wherein said controlling means includes a zoom lens system located between the film and said detecting means for forming on said detecting means a secondary image of the image recorded on the film in accordance with the magnification information.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the trimming information includes position information representing a position of a portion of the image to be reproduced.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 5, wherein said controlling means includes means for relatively moving the image with respect to said detecting means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the position information includes center information representing the center of a portion of the image to be reproduced.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
53 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising means for reading format information representing whether the image has been recorded on the film in a vertical format or in a horizontal format, the format information being recorded on the record medium when the image has been recorded on the film.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
44 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 8, wherein said controlling means includes means for controlling a rotational position of a portion of the image to be detected by said detecting means relative to said detecting means in accordance with the format information.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
46 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 9, wherein said controlling means includes an image rotating optical system located between the film and said detecting means for relatively rotating the rotational position of said detecting means to the image in accordance with the format information.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
36 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising means for reproducing a secondary image of the image on a display device in accordance with the electrical image signal outputted by said generating means.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
32 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising means for printing a secondary image of the image in accordance with the electrical image signal outputted by said generating means.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
36 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising means for memorizing a secondary image of the image onto an optical disk in accordance with the electrical image signal outputted by said generating means.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
23 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising means for sending the electrical image signal outputted by said generating means.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
67 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising means for relatively moving the image with respect to said detecting means in accordance with a manual operation, and means for limiting the relative movement of the image to said detecting means so that an area to be detected by said detecting means is never moved beyond the area of the image recorded on the film.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
50 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 15, wherein said relatively moving means includes means for relatively moving the image to said detecting means in a predetermined first direction, and means for relatively moving the image to said detecting means in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
28 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 15, further comprising means for forming on said detecting means a secondary image of the image recorded on the film.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
39 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 15, wherein said relatively moving means includes means for designating a position of a portion of the image to be detected by said detecting means in accordance with the manual operation.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim
36 words
An image reproducing device as claimed in claim 18, wherein said designating means includes means for pointing out the center of the portion to be detected by said detecting means in accordance with the manual operation.
