Estimating the term…
A method of ordering a digital image service over a communication network. The method includes the steps of: (a) at a first image system, viewing and selecting at least one digital image; (b) selecting the digital image service to be ordered and generating an image order request comprised of the at least one digital image and order information; (c) selecting a second image system, remote from the first image system, for providing the digital image service; (d) transmitting the image order request over the communication network from the first image system to the second image system; (e) at the second image system, accessing the at least one digital image and order information from the image order request; and (f) providing the requested digital image service whereby the at least one digital image is incorporated in an imaging product, processed to produce an edited digital image, stored, retrieved, or transmitted over the communication network. The system and method of the present invention provides a developer, third party equipment, storage providers and/or retailer, with the ability to network connectivity between image systems which provide image capture, process, display and storage capability and image systems which provide image services (for example, fulfilling an image order request) by employing a common software interface system. Image services may range from imaging products (i.e., digital photographic hard copy prints, digital media containing images, embedded image software products and other image-related products) to imaging services like image storage and retrieval, image processing and image transmission.
