The image storing apparatus is designed to store images uploaded from customers via a network onto a large-capacity medium. It associates these images with customer information, image attribute information, or image selection information to effectively manage the customer's images. When the storage capacity, quantity, recording period, or current date of a customer's images exceeds a predetermined threshold, the system moves one or more images to another medium to secure the storage capacity of the large-capacity medium.
His second patent, the "Method, System, and Program for Storing Images," addresses the organization of negative films and prints that are often neglected in households. In this system, a user requests image reading from a DPE store for negative films that have been left unattended. The DPE store then requests image reading from a laboratory, where images are read from the negative films using an image generation apparatus. The production time period of the respective negative films is specified by reading a code number recorded on the films, and the image data sets are sent to an image storage server for classification and storage according to the user and the time period.
