Audio data recording system for recording voice data as an optically readable code on a recording medium for recording still image data photographed by a camera

Abstract

An audio data recording / reproduction system including an independent, portable camera for respectively recording still image data on a silver salt region of a film and audio data on a magnetic recording region of the film. A silver salt film developing / printing device is provided for developing the still image data recorded in the silver salt region of the film, and for printing the developed still image data on a front surface of a photographic paper as visible data. A conversion device is provided for reproducing the audio data recorded in the magnetic recording region of the film, and for converting the reproduced audio data into an optically readable code. And a recording device is provided for printing the optically readable code produced by the conversion device on a rear surface or a blank section of the front surface of the photographic paper.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the InventionThe present invention relates to an audio data recording / reproduction system which records and reproduces audio data such as voice data. More specifically, the present invention relates to the recording / reproduction of audio data in an optically readable format.2. Description of the Related ArtConventionally, various types of media for recording voice data, music data and the like are known. Such known media include a magnetic tape and an optical disk.However, with these media, the unit cost cannot be reduced very much even if a great amount of copies are prepared, and a large area is required to store such media.In the case where a medium on which voice is recorded has to be delivered to a person in a remote place, much time and labor can be required.In order to solve such a problem, there has been proposed a technique in which audio data is recorded on a sheet of paper in the form of image data which can be transmitted by facsimi...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention has been proposed in consideration of the above-described circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an audio data recording / reproduction system capable of maintaining both audio data and an image, and preventing a degradation of the audio data with time.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an audio data recording / reproduction system using an electronic camera, capable of maintaining both audio data and an image, and preventing a degradation of the audio data with time.

Problems solved by technology

However, with these media, the unit cost cannot be reduced very much even if a great amount of copies are prepared, and a large area is required to store such media.

In the case where a medium on which voice is recorded has to be delivered to a person in a remote place, much time and labor can be required.

However, in the printing system in which image data recorded on a silver salt film is printed on the surface of photographic paper and audio data is stored on a magnetic recording medium, each photograph and each magnetic recording medium are separated from each other, and the reproduction of the audio data on the magnetic recording medium and the maintenance of the medium are time-and-labor consuming after adhering each photograph on an album or the like.

Further, the audio data on the magnetic recording media are deteriorated as the number of times of reading is increased, and as a result, the audio data are degraded along with time.
