Patent ID: 7643065

Claim:
An image processing system comprising a server and an imaging apparatus, wherein the imaging apparatus comprises: an imaging unit configured to photograph one or more objects and to generate a plurality of image data; a communication unit configured to communicate with the server; a control unit configured to control the communication unit to transmit to the server the plurality of image data generated by the imaging unit, and to control the communication unit to receive from the server a plurality of thumbnail image data corresponding to the plurality of image data transmitted to and stored in the server; an instruction unit configured to select thumbnail image data from among the plurality of thumbnail image data received by the communication unit and to issue a reproduction instruction to reproduce the image data corresponding to the selected thumbnail image data, wherein the control unit controls the communication unit to transmit to the server a reproduction request of the image data corresponding to the selected thumbnail image data in accordance with the reproduction instruction issued by the instruction unit; and an editing unit configured to change a reproduction order of the plurality of image data generated by the imaging unit and stored in the server using the plurality of thumbnail image data received by the communication unit and to generate play list data which is different from the reproduction request and indicates the reproduction order of the plurality of image data, wherein the control unit controls the communication unit to transmit to the server the play list data generated by the editing unit to enable the server to reproduce the plurality of image data in accordance with the reproduction order indicated by the play list data, and the server comprises: a transceiver unit configured to communicate with the imaging apparatus, a storage unit configured to store the plurality of image data and the play list data transmitted from the imaging apparatus and received by the transceiver unit, a generation unit configured to generate the plurality of thumbnail image data for editing the plurality of image data stored in the storage unit, and a reproduction unit configured to reproduce from the storage unit the image data corresponding to the selected thumbnail image data in accordance with the reproduction request of the image data corresponding to the selected thumbnail image data transmitted from the imaging apparatus and received by the transceiver unit, the reproduction unit reproducing the plurality of image data from the storage unit in accordance with the reproduction order indicated by the play list data stored in the storage unit.
