First Claim
1. An image transmitter for transmitting a print image to a printer, comprising:
- an image input device which picks up or inputting an image;
a deciding device which decides whether or not the image size of the input image thus inputted or an edited image obtained by editing the input image is larger than an image size required for printing by the printer;
an image processing device which resizes the size of the input image or the edited image so as to be an image size required for printing to generate the print image when it is decided that the image size is larger by the deciding device; and
a communicating device which transmits the input image or the edited image to the printer as the print image when it is decided that the image size of the input image or the edited image is not larger by the deciding device, and transmits the print image generated by the image processing device to the printer when it is decided that the size of the input image or the edited image is larger.

Abstract
To provide a pull model which can remotely control an image pick-up device by connecting the image pick-up device to an image information receiver through a communication path and operating a general purpose file reading program by the image information receiver. The image pick-up device includes: a communicating unit capable of transmitting and receiving information to/from the image information receiver; and an information processing unit for instructing the information of directories in which the file names of functions indicating at least a function for picking up an image are registered to be transmitted to the image information receiver through the communicating unit. The information processing unit transmits an image file obtained by picking up the image to the image information receiver through the communicating unit, so that the image pick-up device can be easily remotely controlled from the image information receiver.

4. A print system, comprising:
-
an image transmitter including;
an image input device which picks up or inputs an image, a first display which displays the inputted image, a first input device which inputs and sets print information upon printing the displayed image, a deciding device which decides whether or not the size of the input image thus inputted or an edited image obtained by editing the input image on the basis of the print information is larger than an image size required for printing by a printer, an image processing device which resizes the size of the input image or the edited image so as to be an image size required for printing to generate a print image when the deciding device decides that the image size is larger, and a first communicating device which transmits the input image or the edited image and the print information when it is decided that the size of the input image or the edited image is not larger by the deciding device, and transmits the print image generated by the image processing device and the print information to the printer when it is decided that the size of the input image or the edited image is larger; and
a printer including a second communicating device which receives the image and the print information transmitted from the first communicating device, a second display which displays at least the print information, and a print device which prints the image on the basis of the received image or the received image and the print information. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
