CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/267,525, filed Nov. 4, 2005, which is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/749,097, filed Dec. 27, 2000, and claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. P11-375545, filed on Dec. 28, 1999, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Field of the Invention

[0003] The present invention relates to an image commercial transactions system and method, and more particularly, to a photographic image commercial transactions system for selling a photographic image exposed on a photographic film by photographing a subject, using a still camera, for example.

[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0005] Conventionally, a photographic image exposed on a photographic film is typically printed on a photographic paper and handled as a print photograph.

[0006] By the way, to sell the print photograph shop to others, it was necessary to ask a photograph shop such as a Development Print Enlargement (DPE) shop to reprint the print photograph, and a mailing company to mail the print photograph shop to a purchaser, whereby there was a problem of requiring complicated procedure.

[0007] In order to solve such problem, there is provided a method of reading a print photograph shop that is decided to be brought into a personal computer using an image scanner to generate the image data, and distribute this image data over a network to the purchaser.

[0008] However, with this method, because it is unknown under which conditions the purchaser who has received the image data produces the print photograph, it can not be said that the seller sold the intended print photograph shop in a suitable manner, and accordingly this method is still insufficient to solve the problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0009] In view of the foregoing, an object of the invention is to provide an image commercial transactions system and method that are able to implement the sales to the purpose of the seller.

[0010] The foregoing object and other objects of the invention have been achieved by the provision of an image commercial transactions system and method in which the reception dealer accepts the sale of an image recorded on a recording medium in a predetermined format with a handling condition specific to the image, and sells the image with the handling condition in digital data format, and if a trade is established, the charge accounting agent makes an electronic charging process for the purchase of the data of the image with the handling condition.

[0011] Accordingly, if the image to be sold, together with the handling condition, is sold in the format of digital data, the purchased image can be utilized to the purpose of the seller and in accordance with the handling condition.

[0012] The nature, principle and utility of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which like parts are designated by like reference numerals or characters.
