Patent ID: 7312845

Claim:
A method of capturing and processing sensed images, the method including the steps of: sensing a viewed image within an image capture device to generate a viewed image signal carrying data representing the viewed image; communicating the viewed image signal to a central processor within the image capture device; reading, within the image capture device, a printed data storage device on which optically detectable data representing an image processing program is printed to generate a program signal carrying data representing the program; communicating the program signal to the central processor; executing the program at the central processor so that the central processor carries out an image processing operation on the viewed image in accordance with instructions carried by the program to generate output image data; communicating the output image data together with printing instructions to a printhead within the image capture device; and printing the output image data onto media as an output image, the media conveying the output image being ejected from the image capture device.
