Electron film viewer system
First Claim
1. An electronic film viewer system, equipped with a film cartridge with a processed film loaded therein in a way to have a magnetic track as a magnetic storage medium, for enabling frame images to be optically taken out of the film and displaying a converted image signal on display means, the electronic film viewer system comprising:
- film feeding means for feeding the film;
image inputting means for optically taking images out of the film and for converting these images to image data;
information reading means for reading information on the images recorded on the magnetic track;
image memory means for storing the read image data and information on the image;
multi-image creating means for, when the read image data corresponding to a plurality of frames is stored in the image memory means, automatically performing one of the following two operations relating to a multi-image area creation, without external designation or setting by a user;
dividing a memory area necessary to display one display image area of the display means into a plurality of portions, sequentially storing each image data corresponding to one frame into a corresponding portion and automatically creating a multi-image area in the image memory means to allow images corresponding to the plurality of frames to be displayed, andcreating a multi-image area in a way to have image data below the number of the portions construct said one display image area and storing the image data in the image memory means at a time; and
the display means including an encode function for creating an image based on the image data stored as a multi-image area in the image memory means, for displaying a plurality of frame images and frame numbers one image screen at a time.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to an electronic film viewer system comprising a cartridge holding section in which a film cartridge is detachably mounted with a processed film loaded therein, a film feed section for feeding a film or a rewinding it, an image inputting section for optically picking up an image from a frame in a frame position to obtain an image signal (image data), a multi-image creating section for storing each frame image data in a multi-image memory section in a way to be assigned to a corresponding one of portion images into which a display image screen is divided, and a switching section for effecting switching to a multi-image area or the image data directly from one frame of the film by an operation section and sending any one to an external display section. The multi-image memory section allows a display of the multi-image area with a storage capacity corresponding to one image area and desired image data can be retrieved and displayed.
