Image data management system and method thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to the image data management means performing the registration and fetching (printing) of an image data and the method thereof. By the image data management means the image data is registered in a storage means with adding a file name based on a registration number specifying said image data and then the registration number and attribute information about the image data corresponding to it are registered and controlled in an attribute information table. The image data management means, when a specific registration number is informed, fetches the image data corresponding to said registration number out of a storage means and instructs an image data output means to print the fetched image data. The publication means publishes a list view based on the attribute information registered in the attribute information table through a network. The browser means transmits the print request regarding the image data corresponding to at least one of the list view published by the publication means toward the publication means together with the registration number of the image data. The publication means the registration number of the print-request object toward the image data management means. According to this arrangement, it is possible to shorten the print processing of the image data.
