A simplified filing system realized by connecting, through a network, a plurality of simplified filing devices for storing input image data in an image storing means by attaching image ID identifying the image data, comprising

• an image control means for judging if the simplified filing device specified with the device ID input by the user, at the time of registration of image data, as destination of that image data is own device or other device and requesting, in the case where the specified simplified filing device is the filing destination device, address solution based on said device ID to said server,
• an address control means, provided on said server, for identifying the network address corresponding to said device ID based on the request for address solution from said operating device, and
• a communication means for instructing transfer of image data forming the subject of said registration from said operating device to said filing destination device.

A simplified filing system as defined in claim 7 or 8, wherein said image control means specifies the simplified filing device of the device ID contained in said user information as filing destination of said image data.

A simplified filing system realized by connecting, through a network, a plurality of simplified filing devices for storing input image data in an image storing means by attaching image ID identifying the image data, comprising

• an image control means for judging, at the time of readout of image data, if the simplified filing device specified with said image ID corresponding to the object image is own device or other device, and provided, in the case where the specified simplified filing device is an operating device which requests address solution to a server connected to said network based on the device ID contained in said image ID, on the operating device,
• an address control means, provided on said server, for identifying the network address corresponding to said device ID based on the request for address solution from said operating device, and
• a communication means for instructing transfer of image data forming the subject of said readout from said specified device to said operating device.
