A code reading apparatus main body optically reads a code from a recording medium, recording it as optically readable code, and stores the outcome of the reading operation and the parameters acquired during the reading operation in the data RAM of an application program storing cartridge. When a program processing apparatus reads the outcome of the reading operation as stored in the data RAM, it provides randomness to the outcome of the reading operation according to the parameters stored in the data RAM.

Code reading apparatus, entertainment system and recording medium

The user a mode setting section to optionally set one of a first mode that enables a predetermined operation necessary for recording, on the printing medium, a voice code image based on the voice input by the voice input section, and a second mode that disables the predetermined operation necessary for recording, on the printing medium, the voice code image based on the voice input by the voice input section. The mode set by the mode setting section is displayed on a display section incorporated in an output section. The predetermined operation that can be executed when the first mode is set is, for example, a voice input operation by a voice input section, a conversion operation by a digital conversion section, and a compression operation by a voice compression section.

Photography device

An electronic imaging apparatus composed of a solid-state sensor element for converting an image focused by an optical system into image data. The apparatus is selectively operable in a first drive mode for reading at least a large number of pixels of image data out of the solid-state sensor element, and in a second drive mode for reading a second number of selected pixels of image data out of the solid-state sensor element, the second number being smaller than the large number and the selected pixels being suited for foreground scene recognition. The apparatus further includes an optical black level correction process changing system for changing a process of detecting an optical black level corresponding to an optical black part of the sensor element and correcting image data according to the detected level, the process being changed according to whether the first drive mode or the second mode is selected to effect a first correction in the first drive mode and a second correction in the second drive mode, the first correction being achieved on the basis of a presently detected optical black level, and the second correction being achieved by a feedback control based on a difference between a previously detected optical black level and a desired optical black level.

Electronic imaging apparatus operable in two modes, with a different

A code pattern image recording apparatus which allows easy layout and edit processes of a recorded code pattern image on another sheet surface without being limited by the size and the like of that sheet surface, includes a built-in microphone for inputting audio information, a code pattern image encode unit for converting the audio information into a code pattern image according to a predetermined format by processing the input audio information, a print head for continuously and optically readably printing and recording the converted code pattern image on a print medium, which is sequentially fed in a predetermined direction, along the feed direction, and a system controller for controlling to divisionally record the code pattern image by inserting non-recording regions in units of predetermined print recording lengths of the continuously recorded code pattern image along the feed direction of the print medium.
