Application No. 08/584,501
admitted prior system allows customers participating in rides
at a theme park to select and obtain a print of an image of
themselves on the ride. All equipment is located at the
particular ride. The disclosed invention provides for a
customer identification device for the customer to selectively
activate the camera. Upon selection, the digital image and
customer identification are transmitted to a central image
processor via a high bandwidth network. An output station,
also connected to the network, allows the customer to display,
select and print images at a later time and place. The output
station includes a customer identification device to access
images associated with the identified customer. The system of
the present invention reduces the number of output devices
that are needed by providing a central output device that can
be fed by a plurality of image capture devices. Since the
output station may be located in a convenient location remote
from the theme park, such as in a hotel adjacent the theme
park, the customer is freed from carrying around pictures and
can order the prints at leisure.
