Abstract
Negative films and prints neglected in households are organized efficiently. A user [2] requests of a DPE store [3] image reading from negative films neglected in his/her home. The DPE store [3] requests image reading from a laboratory [4]. In the laboratory [4], images are read from the negative films by an image generation apparatus [40], and image data sets are obtained. The time period of production of the respective negative films is specified by reading a code number recorded on the negative films, and information [J] including date/time information representing the time period is obtained. The image data sets are sent to an image storage server [6] together with the information [J], and classified and stored according to the user and the time period.
