The image storing apparatus stores an image uploaded from a customer via a network on a large-capacity medium by associating it with customer information indicating the customer, image attribute information or image selection information so as to manage the image of the customer. And if capacity, quantity, a recording period or a current date of the images of a certain customer exceeds a predetermined threshold, one image or a plurality of images of the customer are moved to another medium so as to secure storage capacity of the above described large-capacity medium.

A print order reception system for receiving an order for print services is provided with a recording medium reception port for receiving a recording medium on which image data of pictures and print order information including printing conditions for pictures to be printed are recorded in the form of electronic data in a predetermined format. A display system reads out from the recording medium received in the recording medium reception port the image data on the pictures to be printed and the print order information on the pictures to be printed and displays the image data and the print order information as an image.

A personal computer issues an instruction to estimate a subject included in an image represented by image data stored in an image server. A database in which a place of photography, time periods, and a photographing direction correspond to structure image data representing a structure is stored in a storage unit of a subject estimating device in the image server. Related structure image data related to the place of photography and the photographing direction and a date/time of photography, are extracted from the database by referring to the position data and the date/time data attached to the image data. Then, a correlation value between the extracted related structure image data and the image data is obtained, and a structure included in an image represented by a related structure image data with the highest correlation value is estimated to be a subject included in the image represented by the image data.

It is possible to appropriately select an image important for a user than ever before among various images taken by an image capturing apparatus. An image capturing apparatus that records a plurality of captured images and an album information file for designating a display order making a display apparatus display at least one the captured image in a recording medium as files different from each other. The image capturing apparatus includes: an operation acquiring section that acquires an operation before or after a user of the image capturing apparatus takes the captured images; and an operation recording section that records operation information showing the operation in the album information file in order to displays the captured image with a level of importance according to the operation before or after capturing the captured image, in association with the captured image to be displayed on the display apparatus.

Using a picture image printing system, both types of pictures recorded by a camera using a film and a digital camera are effectively printed. The printing system comprises a film scanner for inputting a picture recorded on a film, and a card reader for inputting a picture recorded by a digital camera. By switching these upon necessity, digital image data are obtained. An image processing apparatus carries out a pixel number conversion on the digital image data keeping an aspect ratio of the image constant so that the picture image data are printed in a width almost the same as a width of rolled paper. The digital image data whose pixel number has been converted are printed in the form of a print on the rolled paper by a printer.

When picture image data stored in a removable medium or a hard disc are printed or output as a file according to an order placed by a customer, output processing is carried out efficiently by any operator regardless of his/her experience. A task in which a unit of output processing is carried out is assigned to each printing material or to each kind of medium, and order information received is stored in a processing item recording means 2 and the units of processing are grouped in terms of the kind of task. The image data grouped in different groups are stored in different buffers, and the image data in the same buffer are output collectively on the same printing material or to a recording medium from each buffer to reduce the number of changes of printing materials or recording media.

摘要:
In a digital photographic image printing system, method, and recording medium, photographic print ordering information is stored as a storage file having a hierarchically structured format, and which is exchanged as an order file in a digital format. Any change in the content or operation of the system can be dealt with more flexibly by use of the hierarchically structured storage file, without requiring extensive changes to the underlying variety of application programs that may use the order information in the hierarchically structured order file. The structured storage file includes-an orderer stream describing customer information, and an order storage that describes the content of an order. Within the order storage, a link information stream is provided which describes the location of digital photographic image data stored on a network and which is to be printed, and an order content stream is also provided which describes the content of the order, including print quantity, size, and desired finishing or other processing details.
摘要:
When picture image data recorded by a digital camera are transferred from a memory of the digital camera to another medium, filing is carried out in a short time and easily by determining a file name with no complete overlap with another file name, which is easy to understand, and easy to search for later. A file name including recording property information included in an image file and image file identifying information for identifying the image file is automatically determined, and copying (transfer) of the file to another medium is carried out using the determined file name as the file name in the medium.
