Abstract: When a link unit detects a built-in WLAN memory card by using wireless communication, the link unit determines whether there is a match between the SSID of the detected built-in WLAN memory card and the SSID of the built-in WLAN memory card that is inserted into the PC. If the SSIDs match, it means the built-in WLAN memory card that has been detected using wireless communication is the built-in WLAN memory card that is inserted into the PC and the link unit consequently performs a control such that the WLAN unit does not acquire still images nor moving images.

Abstract: A PC performs full synchronization with a cloud system, whereas a smart phone performs thumbnail synchronization with the cloud system. Furthermore, when uploading a photograph to the cloud system, the PC and the smart phone create a thumbnail “medium” from the original photograph and send the thumbnail “medium” to the cloud system together with the original photograph. Furthermore, when creating the thumbnail “medium” and when one side is excessively longer than the other side, the PC and the smart phone reduce the long side to a predetermined threshold while maintaining the aspect ratio.
