Abstract
Abstract A photographic camera system, which includes an IC card including a readable-writable semiconductor memory, a circuit for communicating with a peripheral to which the IC card is attached and a terminal for communication. The photographic camera system also includes a camera including an attaching portion for detachably attaching the IC card and circuitry for writing into the IC card information obtained in connection with a photographing operation, whereby the information stored in the IC card may be read out from the IC card by the peripheral, after detaching the IC card from the camera, to be used during the process of printing the film.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A photographic camera comprising: an attaching portion adapted for detachably attaching an information medium including semiconductor memory means capable of reading-out/writing-in, a circuit for communicating data between the semiconductor memory means and the camera to which the medium is loaded and a data exchange terminal for the communication data; producing means for producing an information which is used during a process of printing a film exposed by the camera and for producing the information at every frame of exposure; and outputting means for outputting said information from the camera to said medium for making the semiconductor memory means to memorize said information.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
A photographic camera comprising: an attaching portion adapted for detachably attaching an information medium including semiconductor memory means capable of reading-out/writing-in, a circuit for communicating data between the semiconductor memory means and the camera to which the medium is loaded and a data exchange terminal for the communication data; producing means for producing an information which is used during a process of printing a film exposed by the camera and for producing the information at every frame of exposure; and outputting means for outputting said information from the camera to said medium for making the semiconductor memory means to memorize said information.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A photographic camera as defined in claim 1, wherein said information is a data indicative of a range within a frame to be printed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A photographic camera as defined in claim 1, wherein said information is a data indicative of a number of prints to be printed.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
