Abstract
Abstract In the data identification device in the data reproduction device, contents of decoded data for respective sub-sets are identified by the dot reader. Based upon the identification result, the printer controller controls the printer and then data is printed out. The printer controller stores, in advance, suitable printing methods depending on identification results of the data identification device. If a certain identification result is inputted, the control information generation device outputs printer control information in accordance with the corresponding printing method,. and the data process device processes and outputs data.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
A data reproduction system comprising: a reader for optically reading a code with a predetermined format recorded in an optically readable manner on a data recording medium, and for decoding the code for respective sub-sets, multimedia information which includes at least one of voice information, image information and text information being coded, with a predetermined method, into the data, serving as the codes, in units of sub-sets in said data recording medium, said sub-sets being groups of data each of which can be identified as an information unit; and a data reproduction device for reproducing and outputting the data decoded by said reader, wherein said data reproduction device includes: a data identification device for identifying contents of data for the respective sub-sets, decoded by said reader; a printer controller for controlling a printer based on an identification result of said data identification device; and said printer, controlled by said printer controller, for printing out said data.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
156 words
A data reproduction system comprising: a reader for optically reading a code with a predetermined format recorded in an optically readable manner on a data recording medium, and for decoding the code for respective sub-sets, multimedia information which includes at least one of voice information, image information and text information being coded, with a predetermined method, into the data, serving as the codes, in units of sub-sets in said data recording medium, said sub-sets being groups of data each of which can be identified as an information unit; and a data reproduction device for reproducing and outputting the data decoded by said reader, wherein said data reproduction device includes: a data identification device for identifying contents of data for the respective sub-sets, decoded by said reader; a printer controller for controlling a printer based on an identification result of said data identification device; and said printer, controlled by said printer controller, for printing out said data.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
The data reproduction system according to claim 1, wherein said printer controller has scroll control means for, if a sub-set identification result of said data identification device indicates sequential data, controlling a scroll of printer paper in accordance with a course of a change in data.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
52 words
The data reproduction system according to claim 1, wherein said printer controller has frame control means for, if a sub-set identification result of said data identification device indicates moving image data, generating a still image for each frame from said moving image data, and for outputting the still image to said printer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
73 words
The data reproduction system according to claim 1, wherein said printer controller has page control means for, if a sub-set identification result of the data identification device indicates image data exceeding a size which can be printed on a page of the printing paper, splitting said image data into areas each of which can be printed on a page of the printing paper, and for outputting the split image areas to said printer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
45 words
The data reproduction system according to claim 1, wherein said printer controller has score reconstruction means for, if a sub-set identification result of the data identification device indicates the MIDI data, expanding MIDI data to a score, and for outputting the score to said printer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
46 words
The data reproduction system according to claim 1, wherein said printer controller has voice-to-text construction means for, if a sub-set identification result of the data identification device indicates voice data, identifying and converting voice data into a text, and for outputting the text to said printer.
