The information 804 is associated with the favorite information 404 in FIG. 4 and the offer list 606 in FIG. 6, the album layout information 805 is changed by the album layout change information 405 in FIG. 4, and the advertisement ID or the advertisement URL 806 is shown in FIG. Since it is associated with the advertisement ID 701 or the store URL (same as the advertisement URL), the album information DB 114 can be created from the DBs 109 to 113. Therefore, an electronic album is created by determining the layout and advertisement to be inserted (step 904).

  When the process proceeds so far, a search is made as to whether or not there is an additional photo (step 905). If a photo is added (Y), it is transmitted to the host system 100 and added, and the electronic from step 901 is added. Repeat the process until album creation. If no photo is added (N), it is confirmed whether there is an album distribution request from the information terminal 106 (step 906). If there is a request (Y), the album information is sent to the information terminal 106. Transmit (step 907). If there is no album distribution request (N), the process returns to step 905.

  After the album information is transmitted in step 907, if there is a request for changing the layout of a photo or the like in the electronic album from the information terminal 106 (step 908), an electronic album is created again based on the change (Y returns to step 904). .

  After the electronic album is completed (step 909), if there is a connection request from a user terminal (such as a PC) to related information such as an advertisement inserted in the electronic album, the e-commerce site 121 is accessed (guided) ( Step 911).

  Through the above processing, the customized part of the tour can also create an electronic album in which photographs and facilities are associated with each other via position information such as a base station. In addition, by accessing (inducing) an electronic album from a site for purchasing a product based on the URL of the homepage of the facility associated with the photo and the URL of the advertisement, for example, the e-commerce site 121, the desired product, etc. It is possible to make a mechanism such as purchasing easily. For example, by using the displayed image as a button and clicking the button, you can automatically access the homepage of the store or a page for advertisements of products, etc. Products related to the included images can be easily purchased.
