Abstract
When a cameraman photographs a customer by a DSC, an order sheet in which the identification code of a photographed image is written into an IC chip mounted on a sheet and on which the photographed image is also recorded is produced by the DSC, and it is handed to the customer. In ordering the photographed image, the customer goes to a place where an order receiving terminal is installed, and he/she inserts the sheet into the slit of an order sheet reading unit. Thus, the identification code is read, and the whole surface of the sheet is read by a scanner, whereupon the read results are transmitted to an order processing apparatus. The order processing apparatus extracts corresponding image data from an image DB, with the identification code used as a key, and it performs a process complying with the customer'"'"'s order.
