Abstract:
1. A method of operating a server providing a network service comprising: receiving from a first imaging terminal of a first user a first image data group comprised from a plurality of image data and a first imaging terminal ID for uniquely specifying the first imaging terminal; receiving a first scrambled PID and a second scrambled PID from a server of a bridge service in response to sending a first image ID for uniquely specifying a first image data being one image data in the first image data group, a second image ID for uniquely specifying a second image data being another image data, and the first imaging terminal ID to the server of the bridge service, the first scrambled PID being generated based on the first image ID and the first imaging terminal ID, the second scrambled PID being generated based on the second image ID and the first imaging terminal ID, the server of the bridge server correlating the first scrambled PID with the first imaging terminal ID, the server of the bridge server correlating the second scrambled PID with the first imaging terminal ID; storing in a first storage means the first scrambled PID and the first image data with the first scrambled PID correlated with the first image data; storing in the first storage means the second scrambled PID and the second image data with the second scrambled PID correlated with the second image data; receiving a first user ID for specifying the first user among users of the network service and the first imaging terminal ID from a first data terminal of the first user; storing in a second storage means the first user ID and the first imaging terminal ID with the first user ID correlated with the first imaging terminal ID; searching in the second storage means using the first user ID as a search key and extracting the first imaging terminal ID as a search result; receiving the first scrambled PID and the second scrambled PID from the server of the bridge service in response to sending the extracted first imaging terminal ID to the server of the bridge service, the first scrambled PID being correlated with the extracted first imaging terminal ID, the second scrambled PID being correlated with the extracted first imaging terminal ID; searching in the first storage means using the received first scrambled PID as a search key and extracting the first image data as a search result; searching in the first storage means using the received second scrambled PID as a search key and extracting the second image data as a search result; generating a first summary image, which represents the extracted first image data, having a smaller amount of data than the first image data; generating a second summary image, which represents the extracted second image data, having a smaller amount of data than the second image data; storing in a third storage means the first summary image and the first scrambled PID with the first summary image correlated with the first scrambled PID; storing in the third storage means the second summary image and the second scrambled PID with the second summary image correlated with the second scrambled PID; and sending the first summary image and the second summary image to the first data terminal.
