Forming a manipulated image using a printed medium having an image manipulation instruction
First Claim
1. A camera for creating a manipulated image comprising:
- (a) an image capture device adapted to capture a captured image;
(b) an input device adapted to receive an input image;
(c) an image manipulator adapted to receive the input image from the input device and to manipulate the input image to form a manipulated image;
(d) an output device adapted to receive the manipulated image from the image manipulator and to output the manipulated image;
(e) a display device adapted to receive the manipulated image from the image manipulator and to display the manipulated image; and
(f) an instruction reader adapted to read at least one image manipulation instruction disposed in or on a manipulation instruction printed medium, the instruction reader being adapted to provide the at least one image manipulation instruction to the image manipulator, the image manipulator being adapted to manipulate the captured image to form the manipulated image in response to receiving the at least one image manipulation instruction.

Abstract
A camera for creating a manipulated image. The camera has an image capture device, an input device, an image manipulator, an output device and a display device. The image capture device is designed to capture a captured image. The input device is designed to receive an input image. The image manipulator is designed to receive the input image from the input device and to manipulate the input image to form a manipulated image. The output device is designed to receive the manipulated image from the image manipulator and to output the manipulated image. The display device is designed to receive the manipulated image from the image manipulator and to display the manipulated image. The image manipulator is designed to manipulate the input image by combining at least part of the input image with at least part of the captured image to form the manipulated image.

8. A camera system for creating a manipulated image comprising:
-
(a) a primary camera comprising; (i) a primary image capture device adapted to capture a primary captured image; (ii) a primary image manipulator adapted to manipulate the primary captured image to form a primary manipulated image; (iii) a primary instruction reader adapted to read at least one primary image manipulation instruction disposed in or on a primary manipulation instruction printed medium, the primary instruction reader being adapted to provide the at least one primary image manipulation instruction to the primary image manipulator, the primary image manipulator being adapted to manipulate the primary captured image to form the primary manipulated image in response to receiving the at least one primary image manipulation instruction; and (iv) a primary image provider adapted to receive the primary manipulated image from the primary image manipulator and to provide the primary manipulated image to a secondary camera; and (b) a secondary camera comprising; (i) a secondary image capture device adapted to capture a secondary captured image; (ii) an image receiver adapted to receive the primary manipulated image from the primary camera; and (iii) a secondary image manipulator adapted to receive the primary manipulated image from the image receiver and to manipulate the primary manipulated image to form a secondary manipulated image. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 32, 33)

19. A method for forming a manipulated image using a primary camera and a secondary camera, the primary camera comprising a primary image capture device, a primary image manipulator, a primary instruction reader adapted to read at least one primary image manipulation instruction disposed in or on a primary manipulation instruction medium, and a primary image provider, the secondary camera comprising a secondary image capture device, a secondary image receiver and a secondary image manipulator,
the method comprising the steps of, in the primary camera: -
(a) capturing a primary captured image using the primary image capture device; (b) manipulating the primary captured image using the primary image manipulator to form a primary manipulated image comprising; (i) reading, using the primary instruction reader, the at least one primary image manipulation instruction disposed in or on the primary manipulation instruction printed medium; (ii) providing the at least one primary image manipulation instruction to the primary image manipulator; and (iii) manipulating the primary captured image, using the primary image manipulator and in accordance with the at least one primary image manipulation instruction, to form the primary manipulated image; and (c) providing the primary manipulated image to a secondary camera via the primary image provider, and, in the secondary camera; (d) receiving the primary manipulated image from the primary camera via the secondary image receiver; and (e) manipulating the primary manipulated image using the secondary image manipulator to form a secondary manipulated image. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35)
