Abstract
Provided is an image data processing server including: a user authenticating unit that authenticates a user of an imaging device; a permission issuing unit that issues, to a predetermined service, access permission to an account of the user in the image data processing server; an image receiving unit that receives image data transmitted from the imaging device; a request receiving unit that receives a request for data from the predetermined service; and a data transmitting unit that transmits, when the image data received from the imaging device exists, data related to the image data to an account of the user of the predetermined service.
Claims13
An image data processing server comprising:
- a user authenticating unit to authenticate a user of an imaging device;
- a permission issuing unit to issue, to a predetermined service that provides a service via a network, access permission to an account of the user in an image data processing server;
- an image receiving unit to receive, via a network, image data which is acquired by and transmitted from the imaging device which is user-authenticated;
- a request receiving unit to receive, from the predetermined service to which the access permission has been issued, a request for image data received from the imaging device used by the user or data generated based on the image data;
- and
- a data transmitting unit to transmit, when the image data received from the imaging device used by the user exists, the image data or data generated based on the image data to an account of the user of the predetermined service in accordance with the request.
A system comprising:
- an imaging device;
- and
- an image data processing server, wherein
- the image data processing server includes:
- a user authenticating unit to authenticate a user of the imaging device;
- a permission issuing unit to issue, to a predetermined service that provides a service via a network, access permission to an account of the user in an image data processing server;
- an image receiving unit to receive, via a network, image data which is transmitted from and acquired by the imaging device which is user-authenticated;
- a request receiving unit to receive, from the predetermined service to which the access permission has been issued, a request for image data received from the imaging device used by the user or data generated based on the image data;
- and
- a data transmitting unit to transmit, when the image data received from the imaging device used by the user exists, the image data or data generated based on the image data to an account of the user of the predetermined service in accordance with the request, and
- the imaging device includes:
- an authentication request transmitting unit to transmit, to the image data processing server, an authentication request including authentication information, the notification of which is issued from a user terminal to the imaging device;
- a user operation accepting unit to accept a predetermined user operation;
- an image data acquiring unit to acquire image data by capturing an image of an object when the predetermined user operation is accepted by the user operation accepting unit;
- and
- an image transmitting unit to transmit the image data acquired by the image data acquiring unit to the image data processing server via the network.
An image data processing method that causes a computer to execute:
- authenticating a user of an imaging device;
- issuing, to a predetermined service that provides a service via a network, access permission to an account of the user in an image data processing server;
- receiving, via a network, image data which is transmitted from and acquired by the imaging device which is user-authenticated;
- receiving, from the predetermined service to which the access permission has been issued, a request for image data received from the imaging device used by the user or data generated based on the image data;
- and
- transmitting, when the image data received from the imaging device used by the user exists, the image data or data generated based on the image data to an account of the user of the predetermined service in accordance with the request.
