Abstract
An image transfer device, as well as a method and computer program product, obtains an image file that includes first image data and identification information for identifying an image generation device used to generate the first image data, and obtains the identification information from the obtained image file. The image transfer device determines a display resolution of a monitor included in the image generation device, according to the obtained identification information, converts the first image data to second image data having a resolution consistent with the determined display resolution, and records the second image data into a storage device. The image transfer device transfers the obtained image file to a first device connected to the network.
Claims19
An image transfer device capable of communicating via a network, comprising:
- a non-transitory storage device;
- an image file obtainer that obtains an image file that includes first image data and identification information for identifying an image generation device used to generate the first image data;
- an identification information obtainer that obtains the identification information from the obtained image file;
- a resolution determiner that determines a display resolution of a monitor included in the image generation device, according to the obtained identification information;
- a resolution converter that converts the first image data to second image data having a resolution consistent with the determined display resolution and stores the second image data into the storage device;
- and
- an image transferrer that transfers the obtained image file to a first device connected to the network.
An image transfer method in an image transfer device capable of communicating via a network, the image transfer method comprising:
- obtaining an image file that includes first image data and identification information for identifying an image generation device used to generate the first image data;
- obtaining the identification information from the obtained image Me;
- determining a display resolution of a monitor included in the image generation device, according to the obtained identification information;
- converting the first image data to second image data having a resolution consistent with the determined display resolution and storing the second image data into a non-transitory storage device;
- and
- transferring the obtained image file to a first device connected to the network.
A non-transitory computer program product for image transfer performed by a computer capable of communicating via a network, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable medium;
- and
- a computer readable program recorded in the non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer readable program that when executed by the computer performs operations including
