`ABSTRACT
`
`An electronic camera 100 automatically transmits captured
`image data and user identification information to a gateway
`server 160 over a wireless portable telephone link 130. The
`gateway server 160 manages image albums created on a
`per-user basis on multiple image servers on the Internet 170,
`automatically selects one of the multiple image servers
`based on the user identification information received from
`
`the electronic camera 100, and stores the image data
`received from the electronic camera 100 in an image album
`corresponding to the user identification information on the
`selected image server.
