1. A camera for capturing and printing an image, the camera including:
- (a) a camera module, including an image sensor, configured to;
(i) receive a user input; and
(ii) capture, via the image sensor and in response to the user input, the image;
(b) a network interface module configured to;
(i) receive, from the camera module, the image;
(ii) transfer the image to a computer system, the computer system assigning an identity to the transferred image; and
(iii) receive the identity of the image from the computer system; and
,(c) a printing module, including a printing mechanism, configured to;
(i) receive, from the camera module, the image and, from the network interface module, the identity of the image; and
(ii) print an interface onto a surface, the interface including the image and coded data at least partially indicative of an identity of the image, thereby allowing the identity of the image to be obtained from the interface.

Abstract
A camera for capturing and printing an image. The camera includes a camera module which captures an image via an image sensor. The image is transferred to a network interface module which transfers the image to a computer system. The image is also transferred to a printing mechanism which prints an interface onto a surface. The interface includes the image and coded data at least partially indicative of an identity of the image, thereby allowing the identity of the image to be obtained from the interface. The computer system is then responsive to the identity of the image to perform an action with the image.
