Portable camera with inbuilt printer device
First Claim
1. A portable camera including:
- (a) digital image capture device for the capturing of digital images;
(b) an inbuilt printer device;
(c) a programming language interpreter internally connected to said digital image capture device for the manipulation of a digital image captured by said capture device;
(d) a script input means for inputting a self documenting program script for the manipulation and filtering of said captured digital image to produce visual alterations thereof, said script input means including a card reader for optically reading a script printed as an array of dots on one surface of a portable card;
(e) a display;
wherein said script is interpreted and executed by said interpreter means to modify a captured digital image in accordance with said script to produce a digital image modified from said captured digital image, wherein said display is adapted to display said modified image, and wherein said printer device is adapted to print said modified image.

Abstract
A portable camera with inbuilt printer device, has input means for uploading software. The camera includes a digital image capture device, an inbuilt programming language interpreter internally connected to the digital image capture device for the manipulation of the digital image captured by the capture device and a script input means for inputting a self documenting program script for the manipulation and filtering of said captured digital image to produce visual alterations of the image. A card reader optically reads the script printed as an array of dots on one surface of a portable card, which has a visual example of the likely effect of the script on a second surface of the card. The script is interpreted and executed by the interpreter to modify the captured digital image in accordance with the script to produce a digital image modified, in a manner as visually exemplified on said second surface of said card, which is then printed out on the inbuilt printer device.
