Image pick-up information transmitting system and remote control method for an information transmitting system
First Claim
1. An image pick-up information transmitting system, comprising:
- a communicating device capable of transmitting and receiving information to and from an image information receiver for receiving an image file;
an information processing device which instructs information of directories in which function file names, which indicate at least a function for picking up an image, are registered to be transmitted to the image information receiver through the communicating device;
an image pick-up device which picks up the image allocated to at least one of the function file names when the image information receiver requests an image file corresponding to said at least one of the function file names,wherein the information processing device transmits the image file obtained by picking up the image to the image information receiver through the communicating device; and
wherein the communicating device is capable of requesting the image pick-up device to transmit the information of directories and capable of receiving the information of directories transmitted from the image pick-up device in response to the request;
a display for displaying the information of the directories which is received by the communicating device; and
a selecting device which selects and designates a desired function file name of the at least one function file name showing a desired function on the basis of the displayed information of the directories.

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.

39. A remote control method in which an image information receiver selects a desired function file name on the basis of information of directories transmitted from an electronic device and receives a file of the desired function file name from the electronic device, wherein:
-
the electronic device transmits the information of the directories, which include function file names that indicate at least one function to be performed by the electronic device, to the image information receiver; the image information receiver selects the desired function file name on the basis of the transmitted information of the directories to request the electronic device to perform an operation corresponding to the desired function file name; the electronic device executes a function allocated to the desired function file name in accordance with the request and transmits a response in accordance with the execution of the function to the image information receiver; and the image information receiver receives the response. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)

46. A remote control method in which an image, information receiver selects a desired function file name from an electronic device, the method comprising:
-
transmitting information of a directory that includes the desired function file name, which indicates a function to be performed by the electronic device, from the electronic device to the image information receiver; selecting the desired function file name based on the transmitted information of the directories to request the electronic device to perform the function corresponding to the desired function file name; executing the function corresponding to the desired function file name in accordance with the request, wherein said executing the function includes generating a converted image of an image file of the desired function file name based on at least one of a parameter indicating an image pick-up condition and a parameter indicating a property of the image file of the desired function file name; and transmitting the converted image from the electronic device to the image information receiver.
