User interface for an image transformation device
First Claim
1. A user interface for an image transformation device, said user interface including:
- a card releasably engagable with device;
a first face of said card including optically encoded data disposed thereon, the data representing at least one of a program and instructions for a program;
a sensor mounted to said device for reading said data from the card;
a processor capable of receiving the at least one of a program and instruction for a program said processor when programmed configured to transform image data into transformed image data; and
a face of said card carving a visual representation of a transformed image

Abstract
This patent describes an alternative form of user interface for operating a device such as a camera comprising a card which is inserted in a machine. On the face of the card is contained a visual representation of the effect the card will have on the output of the machine. Preferably the camera device is capable of transforming a sensed image substantially in accordance with the transformation of a standard image comprising the visual representation and the transformation of the sensed image is printed out on the printer. Alternatively the machine comprises a book reader and the card includes a books contents for display by the book reader as indicated by the visual representation on the front of the card. On one surface of the card, the visual representation of the effect is displayed, and on a second surface, an optically encoded representation of the effect able to be read by a sensing device of the machine and decoded so as to produce the effect.

6. In an image transformation device, a method for transforming an image including the steps of:
-
placing a card into the device;
reading an optically encoded representation of data on one side of said card; and
processing said data to manipulate image data to form a transformed image. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4)
