Abstract
The present invention includes a displaying and accepting unit 401, a storing and deleting unit 404, and an image processing unit 406. The displaying and accepting unit 401 selectably displays a post-processing delete key 607 for deletion after a process as well as image data 605 in an external storage device 128 on a touch screen 201. The storing and deleting unit 404 stores, when the post-processing delete key 607 and predetermined image data 605a are selected, image data 605a in the external storage device 128 corresponding to the image data 605a thus selected to the internal storage unit 405 and deletes the image data 605a from the external storage device 128. The image processing unit 406 executes the process based on the image data 605a stored in the internal storage unit 405.
Claims9
An image processing apparatus that executes a process based on image data in an external storage device, wherein
- the external storage device is used in a state of being mounted to the image processing apparatus, and
- the image processing apparatus comprises:
- a displaying and accepting unit that selectably displays a post-processing delete key for deletion after the process as well as the image data in the external storage device on a touch screen;
- a storing and deleting unit that, when the post-processing delete key and predetermined image data are selected, stores image data in the external storage device corresponding to the image data thus selected to an internal storage unit and deletes the image data from the external storage device;
- and
- an image processing unit that executes the process based on the image data stored in the internal storage unit.
