At this time, the user terminal 30 may transmit the print request including the unique identifier and at least one image data such as a photograph or a picture selected by the user to the server 10 using the address information.

For example, the user terminal 30 transmits a link 'http: /' 'containing the unique identifier (for example,' KSI033 ') as a parameter of the address information (for example,' http://phoneprint.com ' quot; /phoneprint.com/?robot_id=KS1033 " as a destination and can transmit the image data to perform the print request. Accordingly, the server 10 can receive the unique identifier of the station 20 extracted from the link together with the image data.

In this case, according to the embodiment, the server 10 stores the number of printable sheets, which is the number of photographs that can be output every day, on a user-by-user basis. The user terminal can print out the print request, i.e., the photo data and the station information, The server transmits a request for checking the number of copies to the server, and the server checks the number of outputable sheets and the number of outputable sheets for the corresponding user to determine whether the number of outputable sheets is exceeded. If the result is output to the user terminal, If the output is impossible, the user terminal transmits a message for notifying that the number of printable sheets per day is exceeded. If the user terminal is capable of outputting, the process proceeds to the next process. If so, it displays a message to notify the user.

Meanwhile, the printable number confirmation request may be included in the print request and transmitted to the server.

Prior to the implementation of the present invention, the user terminal 30 may download and install a dedicated application provided by the server 10.

The user terminal 30 can transmit the print request for image data by the server 10 to the server 10 as the image data is selected by the user in the dedicated application to be executed.

At this time, the user terminal 30 may transmit the print request to the server 10 including the position input by the user in the dedicated application.

In addition, the user inputs the number of prints, the size of the photo paper, and the like through the selection menu of the station 20. In accordance with the embodiment, the user can input the advertisement size and the advertisement position, have. (For example, 'A4', 'B4', etc.), an advertisement size (for example, 'basic' or '2'), (E.g., "bottom of image data", "right side of image data", etc.) are stored in the station 20.

(For example, '1 sheet' or '2 sheets') to print image data in the dedicated application of the user terminal 30, a photo paper size (for example, 'A4' , 'B4', etc.), an advertisement size (for example, 'basic type' or 'double type'), an advertisement position (for example, 'bottom of image data' A print request may be sent.

The station 20 receives the image data and the advertisement data included in the print command from the server 10 and combines the image data and the advertisement data according to the size of the selected photo paper to create an output page 20).

Then, the station 20 prints an output page on the photo paper selected by the user (S30).
