Image Transmitter and print system
First Claim
1. An image transmitter for transmitting a print image to a printer, comprising:
- an image input device which picks up or inputs an image;
a communicating device which receives, from the printer, a print condition including an image size required for printing by the printer;
an input device which inputs a trimming area of the image in accordance with an input by a user;
an information processing device which trims the image based on the inputted trimming area;
a deciding device which decides, based on the print condition, whether an image size of an edited image that is the image trimmed by the information processing device is larger than the image size required for printing by the printer; and
an image processing device which resizes the edited image so as to be the image size required for the printer and sets the resized image as the print image when it is decided that the image size of the edited image is larger by the deciding device, and sets the edited image as the print image when it is decided that the size of the edited image is not larger,wherein the communicating device transmits the set print image to the printer.

Abstract
An image processing device decides whether the image size of the input image obtained by shooting the image or the edited image is larger than an image size required for printing by the printer. When it is decided that the image size is larger than the image size required at the time of printing, the image processing device automatically resizes the input image or the edited image so that the image size thereof is changed to an image size required for printing, generates a new print image, and transmits the new print image to the printer. Therefore, it is possible to edit an input image, generate a print image from information required for printing, transmit the print image to a printer, and print a desired image in a short time.

6. A print system, comprising:
-
a printer; and an image transmitter including; an image input device which picks up or inputs an image; a first communicating device which receives, from the printer, a print condition including an image size required for printing by the printer; a first input device which inputs a trimming area of the image in accordance with an input by a user; an information processing device which trims the image based on the inputted trimming area; a deciding device which decides, based on the received print condition, whether an image size of an edited image that is the trimmed image by the information processing device is larger than the image size required for printing by the printer; and an image processing device which resizes the edited image so as to be the image size required for the printer and sets the resized image as the print image when it is decided that the image size of the edited image is larger by the deciding device, and sets the edited image as the print image when it is decided that the size of the edited image is not larger, wherein the first communicating device transmits the set print image to the printer, and wherein the printer comprises; a second communicating device which receives the image and the print information transmitted from the first communicating device; 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 (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A print system, comprising:
-
an image input device, which picks-up or inputs an image; and a printer, configured to print the image, wherein the image input device comprises; a communicating device, which receives, from the printer, a print condition including an image size required for printing by the printer; an input device, configured to allow a user to input print information of the image, the print information including at least a trimming area of the image; an information processing device, which trims the image based on the trimming area; a deciding device, which decides, based on the print condition, whether the image, which has been trimmed, is larger than the image size required for printing by the printer; and an image processing device configured to set the image, which has been trimmed, as a print image when it is decided that the image is not larger than the image size required for printing by the printer, and to resize the image, when it is decided that the image is larger than the image size required for printing by the printer and to set the image, which has been resized, as the print image, wherein the communicating device transmits the print image to the printer, and wherein the printer receives the print image and the print information from the image input device and prints the print image. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
