Abstract:
A capture controller configured to capture an image from a peripheral unit and to transfer compressed image data based on the captured image to an image management server, comprising:a control processor; a first memory configured to store raw image data from the peripheral unit under control of the control processor; wherein the control processor is configured to convert the raw image data stored in the first memory into compressed image data; a second memory configured to store the compressed image data under control of the control processor; wherein the control processor is further configured to control transfer of the compressed image data from the second memory to the image management server; and wherein the control processor is further configured to stop any executing of converting the raw image data stored in the first memory into compressed image data and to stop any executing of transferring of the compressed image data from the second memory to the image management server when the first memory stores the raw image data to continue executing of the first memory storing the raw image data.
