<A-2. Operation>
Next, the operation of the print vending apparatus 100, particularly the operation mainly including the print order management apparatus 1001 will be described with reference to FIGS.

<A-2-1. Recording operation>
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the recording operation of the print order management apparatus 1001. The print order receiving unit 1 is composed of, for example, a device in which a memory card reader or the like is connected to a personal computer with a touch panel monitor. To do. Specifically, a memory card or the like is inserted into the memory card reader.

  The print order receiving unit 1 can read image data recorded and stored in the inserted memory card and display an image corresponding to the image data on a monitor or the like.

  The customer confirms the image displayed on the monitor or the like, selects an image to be printed by an input operation using a touch panel or the like, sets the number of prints, and executes a print order (step S1). Then, the print order receiving unit 1 creates print order information that is information such as the number of printed images corresponding to the print order.

  The image data on which the print order has been executed and the corresponding print order information are transmitted to the print order management unit 2. Here, the print order information includes, for example, reception time, file name, number of copies, editing information such as trimming and color adjustment, customer information, etc., as shown in FIG. It is included.

  When the customer wants to interrupt the print order for some reason during the print order (step S2), a print order interruption command is executed at an arbitrary timing according to the customer's request. The interruption command can be executed via a means provided in the print order receiving unit 1, such as a push button or a button touch using a GUI on the display screen, and the form thereof is not particularly limited.

  The executed print order interruption command is accepted by the print order management unit 2 and the interruption process is executed. The print order management unit 2 instructs the temporary order information recording unit 3 to record and store the current print order information, that is, during editing. The temporary order information recording unit 3 records and saves the edited print order information in a storage medium such as an HDD in a predetermined format. Here, the temporary order information recording unit 3 may be capable of recording and saving in the temporary order information recording unit 3 itself. The print order information being edited is recorded and saved as temporary order information 7 (step S6).

  Here, the print order management unit 2 can add a unique identification number to the temporary order information 7 recorded and stored in the temporary order information recording unit 3 (step S7). Here, instead of the identification number, if the print orders can be distinguished from each other, identification codes employing various symbols other than the number can be used. For example, an identification code composed of a number, a symbol, or the like can be used. The same applies to the embodiments described later. The identification number is set corresponding to each print order to be interrupted.

  At this time, by simultaneously setting an unlocking key such as a password, it becomes possible to further limit the disclosure of the temporary order information 7 to other than a specific customer. The unlock key such as a password may be set by the print order management unit 2 or may be set by customer input.

  In addition, the temporary order information 7 can include image data directly, that is, the print order information can include not only information such as the number of prints but also image data. If image data is included in the print order information, it is not necessary to input again the image data of the interrupted print order. On the other hand, if only the file name, its path, etc., corresponding to the image data are recorded and saved, the recording data can be reduced in size.

Whether or not to do so is compared (steps S17 and S18).

  If they do not match (step S19), the process is terminated without calling the temporary order information 7. If there is a partial match, for example, if any of a plurality of set identification numbers matches, a part of the temporary order information 7 is called according to the matched content (step S20). If all match, all the corresponding temporary order information 7 is called (step S21). The calling operation is performed by the print order management unit 2 instructing the temporary order information calling unit 4.

  The temporary order information 7 called from the temporary order information recording unit 3 by the temporary order information calling unit 4 is reflected in the resumed print order, and the customer can continue the print order (step S13). If all other print orders have been executed (step S14), the calling operation is terminated (step S15).

  Here, when image data is included in the temporary order information 7, it may be determined only by the coincidence / mismatch of the identification number and the unlocking key, but when the image data is not included in the temporary order information 7. Can further add the following operation.

  That is, the print order management unit 2 refers to the file name, its path, etc. recorded and stored in the temporary order information 7 called by the temporary order information calling unit 4, and the image data corresponding to them is stored. Then, it is determined whether or not it is included in, for example, a memory card inserted by the customer. As a result of the determination, when corresponding image data is included, the corresponding image data can be reflected in the print order.
