Abstract

A communication terminal device, which is connected to a file server via a network in a manner that communication can be carried out, manages an image file transmitted from at least one communication terminal device including the communication terminal device itself and stored in the file server.

Claims

1. A communication terminal device connected to a file server, which stores an image file and attribute information of the image file by associating one with another, via a network in a manner that communication can be carried out, the communication terminal device comprising:

means for storing a first extraction condition and a second extraction condition;

a first requesting means for requesting the file server to transmit a first list having attribute information of an image file corresponding to the first extraction condition when a preset request date and time arrives;

means for receiving the first list transmitted from the file server according to the request;

means for generating a second list by extracting information specifying an image file corresponding to the second extraction condition from the received first list and writing the extracted information into the second list; and

a second requesting means for requesting the file server to execute a prescribed processing on an image file specified by the generated second list.

2. The communication terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the second requesting means requests the file server to execute a deletion processing on the image file specified by the generated second list.

3. The communication terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the second requesting means requests the file server to execute a download processing on the image file specified by the second list generated by the means for generating, and

the means for receiving receives an image file transmitted from the file server according to the request of the second requesting means in addition to the first list.

4. The communication terminal device according to claim 3, further comprising means for printing an image of the image file received by the means for receiving onto paper.

5. The communication terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising means for accepting a designation of the first extraction condition and the second extraction condition,

wherein the means for storing stores the first extraction condition and the second extraction condition accepted by the means for accepting.

6. The communication terminal device according to claim 2, further comprising means for accepting a designation of the first extraction condition and the second extraction condition,

wherein the means for storing stores the first extraction condition and the second extraction condition accepted by the means for accepting.

7. The communication terminal device according to claim 3, further comprising means for accepting a designation of the first extraction condition and the second extraction condition,

wherein the means for storing stores the first extraction condition and the second extraction condition accepted by the means for accepting.

8. The communication terminal device according to claim 4, further comprising means for accepting a designation of the first extraction condition and the second extraction condition,

wherein the means for storing stores the first extraction condition and the second extraction condition accepted by the means for accepting.

9. A method for controlling a communication terminal device, comprising:

a step of establishing a connection between the communication terminal device and a file server, which stores an image file and attribute information of the image file by associating one with another, via a network in a manner that communication can be carried out;

a step of storing a first extraction condition and a second extraction condition;

a first requesting step of requesting the file server to transmit a first list having attribute information of an image file corresponding to the first extraction condition when a preset request date and time arrives;

a step of receiving the first list transmitted from the file server according to the request;

a step of generating a second list by extracting information specifying an image file corresponding to the second extraction condition from the received first list and writing the extracted information into the second list; and

a second requesting step of requesting the file server to execute a prescribed processing on an image file specified by the generated second list.

10. The method for controlling the communication terminal device according to claim 9, wherein the second requesting step requests the file server to execute a deletion processing on the image file specified by the generated second list.

11. The method for controlling the communication terminal device according to claim 9, wherein the second requesting step requests the file server to execute a download processing on the image file specified by the second list generated at the step of generating, and

the step of receiving receives an image file transmitted from the file server according to the request at the second requesting step in addition to the first list.

12. The method for controlling the communication terminal device according to claim 11, further comprising a step of printing an image of the image file received at the step of receiving onto paper.

13. The method for controlling the communication terminal device according to claim 9, further comprising a step of accepting a designation of the first extraction condition and the second extraction condition,

wherein the step of storing stores the first extraction condition and the second extraction condition accepted at the step of accepting.

14. The method for controlling the communication terminal device according to claim 10, further comprising a step of accepting a designation of the first extraction condition and the second extraction condition,

wherein the step of storing stores the first extraction condition and the second extraction condition accepted at the step of accepting.

15. The method for controlling the communication terminal device according to claim 11, further comprising a step of accepting a designation of the first extraction condition and the second extraction condition,

wherein the step of storing stores the first extraction condition and the second extraction condition accepted at the step of accepting.

16. The method for controlling the communication terminal device according to claim 12, further comprising a step of accepting a designation of the first extraction condition and the second extraction condition,

wherein the step of storing stores the first extraction condition and the second extraction condition accepted at the step of accepting.
