    摘要: The invention provides a method, apparatus, a computer-implemented process, systems and program products for digital photo processing and on-demand photo document printing. The present invention allows a customer to order the photo prints or photo document prints by transferring digital photos or photo documents in electronic formats from the user station to the storage at a photo lab or printing facility. An operator uses the operator station running the program product to compose digital photos and photo documents into one or more photo pages. All processed photo pages of the customer order are sent to one or more desktop printers integrated with a cutting device for imaging on the pre-cut sheet paper. For users in the office or at home, the printing/cutting device accepts page-size (US Letter, A4 etc.) paper. The device prints each photo page, which contains photos or photo document (multiple photos or multiple copies of the photo document), is then cut down to final individual photos or prints to produce photos, post cards, photo cards, and prints business cards.

    摘要: A digital still camera is provided with a data communication section which transfers image data of a picture frame photographed by the digital still camera to a printing equipment through a radio telephony channel each time the picture frame is photographed. The data communication section sends ID data consisting of a user ID number and a frame ID number and print order data as along with the image data. In the printing equipment, the received image data and ID data is stored as database in a memory. Based on the image data read from the database, a printer makes hard copies in conditions designated by the print order data. The hard copies are delivered to a place appointed by the print order data.

    摘要: A scanner is connected to a printer to form a simple copying system in which the printer is controlled from the scanner. In one aspect of the invention, the scanner queries the printer to learn features implemented in the printer, and constructs a menu enabling a user of the scanner to control use of the printer's features, so that the scanner can be connected to a variety of printers without the need for firmware modifications. In another aspect of the invention, the printer has an accounting feature and manages printing fees according to account identifiers input by the scanner, eliminating the need to use copy cards to collect copying fees.

    摘要: There is provided a print service apparatus generating print setting information including a print device ID by which a print device used for previously printing can be identified when the print service apparatus has been received a print order from a user terminal and performed a print service, and controlling to display information related with the print device identified by the print device ID in a browsing window of the user terminal based on the generated print setting information. This invention prevents a printout different in tint between pages when a plurality of color pages or color copies in a single print order are assigned as print jobs for respective print copies to a plurality of printing devices in a print service provider. Further, the print service information includes a print reorder information, and the same print device as used at a previous print order is selected and the same tint as set at the previous print order is set to the same print device. Printing reordered by the user is performed by the same printing device, easily obtaining a printed material in the same tint as that of a previous order.

    摘要: There are provided an information processing apparatus, information providing apparatus, information processing system, and information processing method which can reflect the intentions of the operator of the information providing apparatus and reduce the loads associated with processing in a server without harming user's convenience. For example, the information providing apparatus transmits the first list data to the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus causes a function expansion program for a browser to acquire the second list data from the information processing apparatus and create the third list data on the basis of the acquired second list data and the first list data transmitted by the transmission unit, thereby causing the browser to display the window based on the created third list data.
