Data storage and retrieval playback apparatus for a still image receiver
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- an image receiver medium supporting fixed visible indicia and a transponder attached to the image receiver medium and the transponder including;
(a) an antenna for receiving and sending signals, the receiving signals including a read signal, (b) a memory for storing address information for accessing a site on a communications network external to the image receiver medium the communications network containing data relating to the still image, (c) a processor and circuitry connected to the memory and the antenna for retrieving the address information from the memory and outputting an output signal including the address information over the antenna when a read signal is received; and
(d) a transceiver including an antenna for outputting the read signal to the transponder and receiving the output signal from the transponder;
wherein the transceiver is connected to a computing device including a processor and circuitry operable for retrieving the address information from the transceiver and executing a program for accessing the data relating to the still image over the communication network and outputting all or a selected portion of the data in a predetermined format.

Abstract
Apparatus (10) for storage and retrieval of audio, sound or other data in association with a fixed still image including an image receiver (28) including a medium for fixing a reproduction of the still image thereon, and a transponder (36) connected to the image receiver (28) including an antenna (42) for receiving and sending signals, a memory (48) for storing address information for accessing a site (76) on a communications network (72) containing the data relating to the still image, a processor (52) and circuitry connected to the memory (48) and the antenna (42) for retrieving the address information and outputting an output signal (64) including the address information over the antenna (42) when a read signal (60) is received. The apparatus (10) can additionally include a transceiver (56) including an antenna (58) for outputting the read signal (60) to the transponder (36) and receiving the output signal (64) from the transponder (36).

18. A method for retrieving stored data relating to a still image comprising:
-
providing an image receiver medium having fixed visible indicia and a transponder attached to the image receiver medium and the transponder including;
(a) an antenna for receiving and sending signals, the receiving signals including a read signal, (b) a memory for storing address information for accessing a site on a communications network external to the image receiver medium the communications network containing data relating to the still image, (c) a processor and circuitry connected to the memory and the antenna for retrieving the address information from the memory and outputting an output signal including the address information over the antenna when a read signal is received; and
providing a transceiver including an antenna and outputting the read signal from the transceiver to the transponder and receiving the output signal from the transponder;
wherein the transceiver includes an antenna that outputs the read signal to the transponder and receives the output signal from the transponder and further wherein the antenna of the transponder receives a radio frequency signal that powers the transducer and wherein the transceiver is connected to a computing device including a processor and circuitry that retrieves the address information from the transceiver and executes a program which accesses the data relating to the still image over the communication network and outputs all or a selected portion of the data in a predetermined format. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
