Claim:
1. An image data processing server comprising: a user authenticating unit to authenticate a user of an imaging device; a permission acquiring unit to acquire, from a predetermined service that provides the service via a network, access permission to an account of the user in the predetermined service; an image receiving unit to receive, via a network, image data which is transmitted from and acquired by the imaging device which is user-authenticated; a type determining unit to determine a type of the received image data; and a data transmitting unit to transmit, when it is determined by the type determining unit that the image data is image data of a predetermined type, the image data or data generated based on the image data to the account of the user in the predetermined service, using the access permission acquired from the predetermined service with respect to a user who has been authenticated as the user of the imaging device that has transmitted the image data, wherein the permission acquiring unit acquires, from a first service that provides a service via a network, access permission to an account of the user in the first service and acquires, from a second service that provides a service via a network, access permission to an account of the user in the second service, and when the type determining unit determines that the image data is image data of a first type, the data transmitting unit uses the access permission acquired from the first service with respect to a user authenticated as a user of the imaging device having transmitted the image data to transmit the image data or data generated based on the image data to the account of the user in the first service, and when the type determining unit determines that the image data is image data of a second type, the data transmitting unit uses the access permission acquired from the second service with respect to a user authenticated as a user of the imaging device having transmitted the image data to transmit the image data or data generated based on the image data to the account of the user in the second service; and wherein the user authenticating unit, the permission acquiring unit, the image receiving unit, the type determining unit, and the data transmitting unit are at least executed by a processor.
