METHOD FOR PROCESSING IMAGE OUTPUT, PROGRAM FOR MAKING COMPUTER EXECUTE METHOD, IMAGE MANAGEMENT DEVICE, IMAGE PRINT OUTPUT DEVICE, AND IMAGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING NETWORK

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent secondary use of the images when by keeping images secret particularly after transfer transferring the images using a network or the like to print and output the images.

SOLUTION: Images stored in the image database 112 of a photo sharing site 102 can be browsed using a terminal device 100 or be ordered for print and output from a miniature laboratory 105. During ordering, the management server 111 of the photo sharing site 102 temporarily stores the copies of the selected images in the order processing part 121 of the miniature laboratory 105 to use the image copies in transfer. After temporarily storing the images transferred, the order processing part 121 of the miniature laboratory 105 prints and outputs the images from a miniature laboratory output machine 123. After the images have been printed and outputted, the order processing part 121 deletes the temporarily stored images and requests the management server 111 to delete. The management server 111 deletes the image copies according to the request.
