Image processing method, image processing apparatus and image processing program
First Claim
1. An image-processing method to be performed in a server that can communicate with a terminal device, characterized by comprising:
- receiving an original image from the terminal device;
storing image-identifying data identifying the original image, in association with the original image;
transmitting the image-identifying data to the source from which the original image has been transmitted;
receiving a sample-image request from the terminal device;
performing a prescribed process on the original image, in response to the sample-image request;
forming sample images from an image generated by performing the prescribed process, the sample images being smaller than the original image;
storing process-identifying data identifying the process performed on the original image, in association with the original image;
transmitting the sample images and the process-identifying data to the terminal device;
receiving, from the terminal device, an image-process request including the image-identifying data and the process-identifying data; and
transmitting an image generated by performing a process on the original image identified by the image-identifying data, the process being one identified by the process-identifying data.

Abstract
An image-processing method to be performed in a server that can communicate with a terminal device. In the method, an original image from the terminal device is received, image-identifying data identifying the original image is stored in association with the original image, the image-identifying data is transmitted to the source from which the original image has been transmitted, a sample-image request is received from the terminal device, a prescribed process is performed on the original image, in response to the sample-image request, sample images smaller than the original image are formed by performing the prescribed process, process-identifying data identifying the process performed on the original image is stored, the sample images and the process-identifying data are transmitted to the terminal device, an image-process request including the image-identifying data and the process-identifying data is received, and an image identified by the image-identifying data and the process-identifying data is transmitted.

8. An image-processing apparatus capable of communicating with a terminal device, characterized by comprising:
-
an image-receiving unit that receives an original image from the terminal device;
an image-storing unit which stores image-identifying data identifying the original image, in association with the original image;
an image-identifying data transmitting unit which transmits the image-identifying data to the terminal device;
a sample-image request receiving unit which receives a sample-image request from the terminal device;
a sample-image forming unit which performs a prescribed process on the original image, in response to the sample-image request, and which forms sample images which are smaller than the original image;
a process-data storing unit which stores process-identifying data identifying the process performed on the original image, in association with the original image;
a sample-image transmitting unit which transmits the sample images and the process-identifying data to the terminal device;
an image-process request receiving unit which receives, from the terminal device, an image-process request including the image-identifying data and the process-identifying data; and
a processed-image transmitting unit which transmits an image generated by performing a process on the original image identified by the image-identifying data, the process being one identified by the process-identifying data. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An image-processing program to be executed in an image-processing apparatus that can communicate with a terminal device, said program causing a computer to perform the following processes:
-
a process of receiving an original image from the terminal device;
a process of storing image-identifying data identifying the original image, in association with the original image;
a process of transmitting the image-identifying data to the source from which the original image has been transmitted;
a process of receiving a sample-image request from the terminal device;
a process of performing a prescribed process on the original image, in response to the sample-image request;
a process of forming sample images from an image generated by performing the prescribed process, the sample images being smaller than the original image;
a process of storing process-identifying data identifying the process performed on the original image, in association with the original image;
a process of transmitting the sample images and the process-identifying data to the terminal device;
a process of receiving, from the terminal device, an image-process request including the image-identifying data and the process-identifying data; and
a process of transmitting an image generated by performing a process on the original image identified by the image-identifying data, the process being one identified by the process-identifying data. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
