Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: set a grace period for image deletion in response to transferring one or more images from a first storage area to a second storage area different from the first storage area, according to a user's instruction; and give an instruction to delete, from the first storage area, an image corresponding to the transferred image, in response to a lapse of the grace period starting from the transfer.
Claims10
An image management apparatus, comprising:
- a hardware processor configured to execute processes comprising:
- setting, based on an instruction input by a user, a grace period for image deletion to be performed in response to transfer of at least one image from a first storage area to a second storage area different from the first storage area, the at least one image comprising duplicate image data generated by duplicating image data of an original image stored in the first storage area, and the grace period being a predetermined amount of time measured from the transfer of the at least one image;
- and
- outputting a control instruction to delete, from the first storage area, the original image from which the at least one image was generated, in response to a lapse of the predetermined amount of time of the grace period as measured starting from the transfer of the at least one image.
An image management method executed under control of a computer to execute processing comprising:
- setting, based on an instruction input by a user, a grace period for image deletion to be performed in response to transfer of at least one image from a first storage area to a second storage area different from the first storage area, the at least one image comprising duplicate image data generated by duplicating image data of an original image stored in the first storage area, and the grace period being a predetermined amount of time measured from the transfer of the at least one image;
- and
- outputting a control instruction to delete, from the first storage area, the original image from which the at least one image was generated, in response to a lapse of the predetermined amount of time of the grace period as measured starting from the transfer of the at least one image.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program executable by a computer to execute processing comprising:
- setting, based on an instruction input by a user, a grace period for image deletion to be performed in response to transfer of at least one image from a first storage area to a second storage area different from the first storage area, the at least one image comprising duplicate image data generated by duplicating image data of an original image stored in the first storage area, and the grace period being a predetermined amount of time measured from the transfer of the at least one image;
- and
- outputting a control instruction to delete, from the first storage area, the original image from which the at least one image was generated, in response to a lapse of the predetermined amount of time of the grace period as measured starting from the transfer of the at least one image.
