Information processing system, information processing apparatus and method

摘要

The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus by which image data can be downloaded simply. A video camera 11 receives thumbnail images corresponding to one or more images included in an album from a video camera image station 41 and displays the thumbnail images on an LCD unit. If one or more images to be downloaded are selected, then the video camera 11 acquires image information of the selected image or images from a video camera image station 41, analyzes the image information and discriminates it one by one image whether or not the selected image data are downloadable. Every time one image is discriminated to be downloadable, the video camera 11 accesses a corresponding URL designated for each image, downloads the image from the URL and records the image onto a recording medium. The video camera 11 successively downloads the selected images in this manner.

主权项

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
specification circuitry configured to accept an access from a different information processing apparatus to specify a user of said different information processing apparatus; first transmission circuitry configured to transmit, in response to a transmission request for index information to images stored on a server from said different information processing apparatus, the index information to the images to said different information processing apparatus, wherein the index information representing an album name of an album for image data; second transmission circuitry configured to transmit for display, to said different information processing apparatus, an index image of image data included in the album based on a transmission request for display of the index image of a selected album from said different information processing apparatus; third transmission circuitry configured to transmit for display, to said different information processing apparatus, an enlarged index image corresponding to selected index image based on a transmission request for display of an enlarged index image from said different information processing apparatus, and to transmit for display, to said different information processing apparatus, consecutive enlarged index images for display based on forward or backward selection input from said different information process apparatus; and fourth transmission circuitry configured to transmit, for storage, selected image data corresponding to one of the transmitted consecutive enlarged index images to said different information processing apparatus based on a transmission request for storage from said different information processing apparatus in order to download the selected image data to said different information processing apparatus for storage.
