Image storage apparatus and method
First Claim
1. An image storage apparatus connected to an image capturing device generating image data by acquiring an image and an image forming device printing image data, the apparatus comprising:
- a docking unit connected with the image capturing device;
a reader for reading the generated image data from the image capturing device;
a data storage unit for storing the read image data; and
a print controller for controlling the image forming device to print the stored image data by transmitting the stored image data to the image forming device.

Abstract
An image storage apparatus and method are provided, in which a docking unit is connected with an image capturing device, a reader reads image data generated by the image capturing device from the image capturing device, a data storage unit stores the read image data, and a print controller controls an image forming device to print the stored image data by transmitting the stored image data to the image forming device. Accordingly, the image data stored in the image capturing device can be easily and quickly stored separately and printed. In addition, the image storage apparatus can perform other jobs even when printing is being performed, and various functions can be provided by supporting peripherals.
