In a digital camera 4, when a shot image is chosen, fractal data expressing structural features of object images in the photographed image is obtained. The fractal data is sent to a search server 2. In the search server 2 are stored plural pieces of fractal data showing structural features of an image of a specific object and keywords expressing specific objects corresponding respectively to the plural pieces of fractal data. The search server 2 searches for images on the Internet 1 using as the keyword corresponding to the fractal data sent from the digital camera 4. Further, the search server 2 obtains fractal data of objects in the searched image, and calculates a degree of coincidence based on the similarity between the obtained fractal data and the fractal data sent from the digital camera 4, and successively sends the digital camera 4 the images whose degree of coincidence is larger than a certain reference. |
