<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a larger amount of optimum additional information, satisfying user's preferences; to manage the additional information which the user adds to output processing even on a management side; to adequately evaluate the additional information the user obtains; and to return a service appropriate to the evaluation to the user. <P>SOLUTION: The user of a terminal device determines whether image information, to which the additional information is added, is outputted. When the addition is made, user preference information is transferred to a management device before the output processing, and then the optimum additional information is selected by referring to the preference information and an additional information group. The selected optimum additional information is transferred to the terminal device, and whether the transferred optimum additional information is to be obtained is determined. The obtained optimum additional information is added to the image information, and the output data are generated. Then, the output processing is carried out by an output device connected to the terminal, on the basis of the output data thus generated, output information showing the performance of the output processing is transferred to the control device, and a part of an additional information revenue is returned to the user of the terminal device, on the basis of the output information transferred. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
