Image transmitting system, an image transmitting method, and a machine readable medium storing thereon a computer program for transmitting images
First Claim
1. An image transmitting system comprising:
- a first image storing module storing a plurality of images included in a first electronic album;
a second image storing module storing a plurality of images included in a second electronic album;
a feature extracting module for extracting a feature amount of an object included in each of the plurality of images stored in said second image storing module;
an image selecting module for selecting an image including an object showing correspondence with the object included in the image stored in said second image storing module, which is higher than a predetermined reference value, out of the plurality of images stored in said first image storing module on the basis of the feature amount extracted by said feature extracting module; and
an image transmitting module for retrieving the image selected by said image selecting module from said first image storing module and storing the image in said second image storing module to transmit the image from said first image storing module to said image storing module.
