Abstract
An image manager includes a communicator that communicates with a server computer storing image data, a detector that detects a storage capacity of image data stored into the server computer by the communicator and a controller that controls download of image data stored into the server computer in response to a detection result of the detector.
Claims113
An image manager comprising;
- a communicator that communicates with a server computer storing image data,
- a detector that detects a storage capacity of image data stored into the server computer by the communicator, and
- a controller that controls download of image data stored into the server computer in response to a detection result of the detector.
An image manager comprising;
- a communicator that communicates with a server computer storing image data,
- a detector that detects a storage period of image data stored into the server computer by the communicator, and
- a controller that controls download of image data stored into the server computer in response to a detection result of the detector.
An image manager comprising;
- a memory that stores image data recorded onto a connected storage medium, and
- a management controller that performs a first management control storing image data into the memory and registering information about image data as management data and a second management control not storing image data into the memory but registering information about image data as management data.
An image manager comprising;
- a connector that connects to a digital camera capable of creating contracted image data from photographed image data, storing the contracted image data and sending the image data to an outside storage device, and
- a register that registers information about the image data into management data based upon the contracted image data when connecting to the digital camera via the connector.
An image manager comprising;
- a connector that connects to a digital camera capable of storing shooting information obtained at a time of shooting and sending the image data to an outside storage device, and
- a register that registers information about the image data into management data based upon the shooting information when connecting to the digital camera via the connector.
A digital camera comprising;
- a creator that creates contracted image data from photographed image data,
- a sending device that stores the contracted image data and sends the image data to an outside storage device, and
- an information attaching device that attaches shooting information obtained at a time of shooting to the contracted image data.
An image manager comprising;
- a register that registers information about image data as management data,
- an obtaining device that obtains information to register into management data for controlling image data, and
- an attachment device that attaches obtained information obtained by the obtaining device to image data.
An image manager comprising;
- a register that registers information about image data as management data, and
- an obtaining device that obtains information to register into management data for controlling image data based upon schedule data.
An image manager comprising;
- a register that registers information about image data as management data,
- an connector that communicably connects to a mobile device, and
- an obtaining device that obtains information to register into management data for controlling image data based upon data from the mobile device.
An image manager comprising;
- a memory that stores a plurality of image data,
- a connector that connects a storage medium,
- a detector that detects information about the storage medium, and
- a selector that selects a group of image data to be recorded onto the storage medium based upon a detection result of the detector.

An image manager comprising;
- a memory that stores a plurality of image data,
- a recorder that records management information controlling image data stored into the memory,
- a connector that connects the storage medium, and
- a selector that selects a group of image data to be recorded into the storage medium based upon the management information.
1 more element
An image manager comprising;
- a memory that stores a plurality of image data, and
- a selector selects a group of image data to be recorded onto the storage medium based upon image data instructed to be recorded onto the storage medium from the plurality of image data stored into the memory.
An image manager comprising;
- a searcher that searches for image data,
- a selector that automatically selects image data to be registered from image data searched by the searcher, and
- a register that registers information about image data selected by the selector as management data.
An image manager comprising;
- an obtaining device that obtains user information about an image manager,
- a register that registers information about image data as management data, and
- a retriever that retrieves image data allowed to be accessed from registered image data based upon the user information.
An image manager comprising;
- a register that registers information about the image data as management data,
- a connector that communicably connects to a portable storage device to receive image data from the portable storage device capable of being portable and storing a plurality of image data, and
- a controller that controls a registration of management data controlling image data in the portable storage device by utilizing information about image data created by the portable storage device.
An image manager comprising;
- a plurality of memories that store image data,
- a register that registers management data for controlling image data, and
- a recorder that records the management data into each of the plurality of memories independently.
An image manager comprising;
- a fixed memory that stores image data,
- a detachable/attachable removable memory that stores image data,
- a register that registers management data for controlling image data, and
- a recorder that records the management data into the fixed memory.
1 more element
An image manager comprising;
- a register that registers management data for controlling image data,
- a first storage port that stores image data registered into the management data, and
- a second storage port that stores a backup image data of image data registered into the management data,
- wherein the register registers management data for controlling the backup image data with the image data.
1 more element
An image manager comprising;
- a memory that stores image data,
- a register that registers management data for controlling image data to be stored into the memory, and
- a controller that controls a registration of management data for controlling information about a film.
An image manager comprising;
- a selector that selects image data, and
- a display device that displays information of a film having a picture number corresponding to the selected image data.
An image manager comprising;
- a selector that selects image data, and
- a creator that creates a print order sheet for actually placing an order to make a print of image data selected by the selector at a photo print lab.
