[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Since print vendors read and print images recorded on media, customers using print vendors need to bring media on which images are recorded. However, when images to be printed are recorded on a plurality of media, the number of media to be brought increases, which is inconvenient for customers. Also, since images recorded on the media could only be viewed or printed by customers who brought the media, the images recorded on the media could not be shared by multiple people.
[0006]
As a method for solving such a problem, a method in which an image management server that manages images and a print vendor are connected by a communication network such as the Internet, and an image read by the print vendor is uploaded to the image management server and registered. Can be considered. In this way, once an image is registered in the image management server, the registered image can be downloaded to a print vendor and printed, and the customer can print without having to bring a large number of media. Can do. Further, if the image registered in the image management server is made public on the communication network, a person other than the owner of the image can print the image with the print vendor.
[0007]
However, if an upload function is added to the print vendor to make the print vendor multi-functional, when multiple tasks (processes) coexist, the processing speed of each task decreases, so the processing wait time of the customer becomes long. There was a problem that. In particular, since the printing process is a main function of the print vendor, an increase in the printing time has a problem that the convenience of the print vendor is significantly reduced.
[0008]
An object of the present invention is to improve convenience in a print vendor having an upload function to an image management server.
