PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically apply keywords achieving multifaceted and highly accurate retrieval, in registering content of an image or the like in a database. SOLUTION: A tag generation part 23 analyzes an image file input from an image input part 22, and extracts such features as feature colors, time information and position information. A word table 30 records the various features and keywords showing those features in association with each other, and a keyword selection part 31 retrieves the word table 30 based on the extracted features, and selects the pertinent keywords. A related word acquisition part 25 retrieves the related words of the keywords by retrieving a thesaurus 24, and a score acquisition part 26 acquires scores showing the relevancy between the keywords and the related words. An image file with tags with the keywords written therein, related words and scores is registered in an image database 5. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
