Abstract
A user specifies image data to be transferred and the conversion form of the image data. An information processing device instructs an image data obtaining device to transfer the specified image data. The transferred image data is converted into data in the form specified by the user. The image data to be transferred and the specification of its conversion form are simultaneously received, so that the image data is transferred and converted at the same time. Accordingly, user operations are reduced and user operability can be improved.
Claims16
