Abstract
A user's point of departure (Airport A) and point of arrival (Airport B) are read from boarding-ticket information that has been recorded on an airplane boarding ticket. Areas indicating the departure and arrival points that have been read are displayed on a display screen and the user designates the airport at which printed images are to be picked up. The printing of the images is ordered at the point of departure. When the user reaches the airport that is the designated point of arrival, the ordered images will have already been printed and, hence, the user picks up the prints at the arrival point. This makes it possible to pick up prints immediately at a point along one's journey.
