Composite Media Recording Element and Imaging System and Method of Use Thereof
First Claim
1. A composite media recording element comprising, at least two recordable information components operable to store and subsequently provide mutually dependent information related to selected portions of at least one final image, a plurality of said information related to selected portions including image information necessary for recreating said at least one final image, a first recordable information component storing image data, said image data stored in response to aspects of an initial light stimulus related to a visual, said final image being a representation of at least one aspect of said visual, a second recordable information component linked to said first information component, storing non-image data related to said image data, said non-image data related to positioning within a specific final image of said image data, said non-image data encoding selected aspects of the physical position of at least said first image information recording component during response to aspects of said initial light stimulus, and said mutually dependent information provided within said element further identifying the final image relevant to all of said information stored within said element, at least when elements related to different final images are not physically separated to distinguish said different final images.

18. A composite media imaging system comprising,
at least two information storing components operable to store and subsequently provide mutually dependent information related to selected portions of at least one final image, a plurality of said portions relating to image information necessary to recreate said at least one final image, one of said information storing components storing non-image data related to said final image, said non-image data related to positioning of image information recorded within an image information recording component of said system, wherein said information storing components are linked to provide said mutually dependent information related to said final image, said non-image data encoding selected aspects of the physical position of said image information recording component during initial image information recording within said recording component, and further identifying the corresponding final image to which said image data pertains, when said components occur within a plurality of components related to a plurality of final images, and a computer operated data managing program to apply said mutually dependent information in creating final images from information stored within said components.

28. A method for imaging comprising,
providing at least two information storing components operable to store and subsequently provide mutually dependent information related to selected portions of at least one final image, wherein a plurality of said portions relating to image information necessary to recreate said at least one selected final image, storing non-image data related to said final image in one of said information storing components, said non-image data related to positioning of image information recorded within an image information recording component of said system, linking said information storing components to provide said mutually dependent information related to said final image, encoding selected aspects of the physical position of said image information recording component in said non-image data during initial image information recording within said recording component, and identifying the corresponding final image to which said image data pertains, at least when said components occur within a plurality of components related to a plurality of final images, and applying said mutually dependent information in a computer operated data managing program to create final images from information stored within said components, said non-image data distinguishing image data relative to corresponding final images and final image aspects to which said image data relate.

39. An imaging system for tandem capture of information related to one or more final images comprising,
an image information collection and recording device for providing stimuli related to a visual to a first media capture module, said module capturing aspects of said stimuli as image information, and one or more second media capture modules for capturing additional information related to aspects of said visual, wherein said first or second module comprise linking data to selectively link distinct information gathered by the modules to inform a computer-operated image data managing program to generate final images related to said visual.
