Abstract

A server system includes: a reception section that receives captured image information and metadata from a terminal device connected to the server system through a network, the captured image information being information about a captured image captured using the terminal device, and the metadata being added to the captured image; an insertion image selection section that selects an insertion image based on the received metadata, the insertion image being an image differing from the acquired captured image; and an image set generation section that generates image set information in which the insertion image is inserted into the captured image information.

Claims (30)

1. A terminal device comprising:

an image acquisition section that acquires a captured image;

a transmission section that transmits the captured image to a server system, metadata being added to the captured image;

a reception section that receives information from the server system; and

a display control section that controls slide show display on a display section,

the transmission section transmitting request information with transmitting captured image information that is information about a plurality of the captured images for the slide show display to the server system, the captured image being a candidate for an image included in an image set to be displayed in the slide show display,

the reception section receiving an insertion image that has been selected by the server system, and not captured by the image acquisition section, from images stored in the server system based on the transmitted captured image information, the insertion image to be included in the image set generated and sent from the server system in response to the request information, and

the display control section controlling the slide show display of the image set that includes the insertion image selected by the server system and the captured image acquired by the image acquisition section.

2. The terminal device as defined in claim 1 ,

the reception section receiving shooting event start notification information from the server system, and

the image acquisition section acquiring the captured image corresponding to the received shooting event start notification information.

3. An information storage device storing a program, the program causing a computer to function as:

an image acquisition section that acquires a captured image;

a transmission section that transmits the captured image to a server system, metadata being added to the captured image;

a reception section that receives information from the server system; and

a display control section that controls slide show display on a display section,

the transmission section transmitting request information with transmitting captured image information that is information about a plurality of the captured images for the slide show display to the server system, the captured image being a candidate for an image included in an image set to be displayed in the slide show display,

the reception section receiving an insertion image that has been selected by the server system, and not captured by the image acquisition system, from images stored in the server system based on the transmitted captured image information, the insertion image to be included in the image set generated and sent from the server system in response to the request information, and

the display control section controlling the slide show display of the image set that includes the insertion image selected by the server system and the captured image acquired by the image acquisition section.

4. A method for controlling a terminal device comprising:

performing an image acquisition process that acquires a captured image;

performing a transmitting process that transmits the captured image to a server system, metadata being added to the captured image;

performing a reception process that receives information from the server system; and

performing a display control process that controls slide show display on a display section,

the transmitting process transmitting request information with transmitting captured image information that is information about a plurality of the captured images for the slide show display to the server system, the captured image being a candidate for an image included in an image set to be displayed in the slide show display,

the reception process receiving an insertion image that has been selected by the server system, and not captured by the image acquisition process, from images stored in the server system based on the transmitted captured image information, the insertion image to be included in the image set generated and sent from the server system in response to the request information, and

the display control process controlling the slide show display of the image set that includes the insertion image selected by the server system and the captured image acquired by the image acquisition process.

5. The terminal device as defined in claim 1 ,

the terminal device being an imaging device,

the captured image being an image captured by the imaging device.
