ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an image transferring apparatus for transferring an image displayed by a first program to a second program. The image transferring apparatus comprises: image copying means for storing a copy of the image into a predetermined temporary storage area; and image transferring means for acquiring the copy of the image from the temporary storage area before transferring the acquired copy to the second program. With this configuration, the image displayed by a first program is transferred to a second program by way of a temporary storage area, in accordance with display position information about the on-screen image, or in the form of a file accommodating the image of interest. The transfer of the image between the programs is accomplished in a simplified and reliable manner.
