The face image search device displays apart from the first search result a second search result which is a search result in order of at least one attribute feature of a person previously specified similar to the input image, derived with use of the attribute feature, or a search result in order of similarity taking both of the personal feature information of the face image and the attribute feature into consideration. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
