Embodiment Construction

[0055] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056]

[0057]

[0058] A basic configuration according to this embodiment will be described. In an environment where a printer can directly communicate with a DSC, a method of printing an image stored in a storage medium of a digital still camera (DSC) is called a photo direct printing method.

[0059] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the appearance of a photo direct printer (referred to as a PD printer) according to this embodiment. Figure 2 shows the state where the DSC is directly connected to the printer.

[0060] Referring to FIG. 1 , the PD printer 1000 has a general PC printer function of printing data received from a host computer (PC), a function of printing image data read directly from a storage medium such as a memory card (DPOF function), and a function of printing through a connection with a DSC. A function to receive image data dir...

Abstract

According to this invention, an intended image is transferred and printed even in a system which transfers image data by a handle upon reception of a print request list described by the file name of an image. In order to realize this, according to this invention, when a DPOF print request file which describes an image to be printed by the file name of the image exists in the memory card of a digital camera (3012) serving as an image supply side, a new file in which the file name in the print request file is replaced by a handle is generated and transmitted to a printer (1000).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a printing system, an image providing device and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Recent printers have sufficient print quality and can print, for example, realistic images with the same quality as photographs. [0003] The number of image sensing pixels of a digital camera (hereinafter referred to as a DSC) has reached several million, and the quality of captured images has become comparable to that of a silver halide camera. [0004] Against this background, there has been a need to print images captured by digital cameras through a printer without requiring a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as a PC) as a medium. Currently, there are a variety of products that meet these needs. [0005] One of these products focuses more on the fact that the DCS uses a removable storage medium (there are various memory cards using flash memory). The storage medium can be removed from the DSC and lo...
