First Claim
1. An image selection system that facilitates selection of output images and that is composed of an image output apparatus and a portable terminal that supplies image files indicating images that are to be supplied as output by the image output apparatus;
- wherein;
said portable terminal is equipped with;
a display unit; and
a portable-side information processor equipped with at least one decoder that decodes image files;
said image output apparatus is equipped with an image output apparatus-side information processor that is provided with a plurality of decoders that each decode various types of image files;
said portable-side information processor transmits information indicating image file formats that can be decoded by said portable-side information processor to said image output apparatus-side information processor and then receives and decodes image files from said image output apparatus-side information processor and displays on said display unit; and
said image output apparatus-side information processor, upon receiving information indicating image file formats from said portable-side information processor, generates converted image files in which images held by said image output apparatus are converted to an image file format indicated by the received information and transmits the converted image files to said portable-side information processor.

Abstract
An image selection system is composed of an image output apparatus and a portable terminal that supplies image files indicating images that are to be supplied as output by the image output apparatus. The portable terminal includes a display unit and at least one decoder that decodes image files. The image output apparatus includes a plurality of decoders that each decode various types of image files. The portable terminal transmits to the image output apparatus information indicating the image file formats that can be decoded in the portable terminal, and the image output apparatus, having received the information indicating the image file formats that was transmitted from the portable terminal, transmits converted image files in which images held by the image output apparatus are converted to an image file format that was indicated by the received information. The portable terminal then receives and decodes image files transmitted from the image output apparatus and displays the images on the display unit.
