Based on an image input by an image input section ( 11 ), a mobile application ( 13 ) and a matching process section ( 21 ) use templates managed in a hierarchical manner to search a TP data management DB ( 22 ) for an image. At this time, the mobile application ( 13 ) and matching process section ( 21 ) perform template matching using a higher level hierarchical template (e.g., 1st-level hierarchical template 2221 ) and subsequent template matching using a lower level hierarchical template (e.g., 2nd-level hierarchical template 2222 ) to narrow down the number of images to be searched for and display images as narrowed down search results.
