BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to personal facial photographs relating to a large number of persons related to school (for example, current students, graduates, staff (including former staff), PTA members (including former members), etc.). It is composed of at least one kind of group group photo, environmental photo showing school facilities, event photo showing school events, and life photos showing the living conditions of the school personnel at school. School albums containing album photos (for example, graduation albums and yearbooks (information not only for graduates but also for current students,
Say what to publish as an album)).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a school album of this kind,
A typical example is a graduation album.Examples of the contents include environmental data such as school scenery of the alma mater, current affairs and customs during school days, portrait-related data such as classmates, teachers and clubs, daily life. Data about life such as class scenes, events, club activities, personal information such as collections of books, names and addresses were included. And the most common form of graduation album is
The data described above may be printed on the paper surface of the booklet. In addition, there is a demand to include, for example, video data and audio data in addition to simple photographs and prints as the content to be posted on the graduation album. In this case, instead of a paper medium, it is digitally stored on a CD-ROM or the like. There was also a graduation album that recorded each data as data.

[0003]

Among the conventional school albums described above, according to the former booklet, the number of pages increases as the information to be posted increases, but it is enormous. It is not practical to set the number of pages,
Naturally, there was a limit to the number of pages, and there was a limit to the number of photos posted. In other words, taking the graduation album as an example, it was necessary to set restrictions on the selection of snapshots to be posted so that each graduate would be selected to appear once so that the number would not be huge. . Therefore, there is a problem that it is very troublesome to select the photograph to be posted and it is difficult to enhance the content. On the other hand, according to the latter digital data, since it is easy to secure a huge storage capacity, there is no practical limit to the number of data to be posted, and it is possible to freely select the content to be posted. Although I was able to solve the problem of the school album of, the reading device such as a computer needs to be started each time in order to visually check the recorded data, and the reading device is nearby. If not, the data cannot be confirmed. In addition, even if there is a reading device, a loss time for starting the device is necessary. For example, in the case of "I want to match the name of the graduate with the face", the reading time of the reading device and data It is always necessary to wait for the reading software to start up, and it is difficult to see the data immediately at the moment when you want to check the face picture and name. That is, there is a problem that it is difficult to immediately check the posted data at the desired moment.
