wherein the additional information is identification information that is uniquely associated with the shared image and that is used, when being received, to provide an instruction to start specific processing on the shared image, the specific processing including outputting the shared image;

perform control to transmit the presented image to the poster through the communication line to notify the user of content of the shared image; and

perform control to transmit to the poster, together with the presented image, another presented image associated with another shared image that is different from the shared image posted by the poster and whose sharing period has not expired.

2. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to generate the presented image such that the shared image and the presented image are different from each other in displayed content.

3. The control device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

identify displayed content of the shared image; and

generate, as the presented image, an image that is obtained by processing the shared image such that the additional information is not superimposed on a specific region of the shared image whose displayed content has been identified by the processor.

4. The control device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

generate, as the presented image, an image that is obtained by decreasing a resolution of the shared image.

5. The control device according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

generate the resolution of the shared image so that a capacity of the presented image becomes smaller than or equal to a predetermined capacity.

6. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

perform control to transmit the presented image if the processor receives a request to transmit the presented image from the poster.

7. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein if an instruction indicating that the presented image is not necessary is provided using necessity or nonnecessity information that indicates whether or not the presented image is necessary and that is received by the processor from the poster, the processor is programmed to:

not generate the presented image; and

perform control to not transmit the presented image to the poster through the communication line.

8. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein if the presented image has a capacity larger than a capacity that is predetermined as an allowable upper limit value by the poster, the processor is programmed to:

perform control to not transmit the presented image to the poster.

9. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein if the processor receives the presented image that has been transmitted to the poster, the processor is programmed to:

perform control to switch processing to be performed in accordance with a source of the presented image received by the processor.

10. The control device according to claim 9 , wherein if the source of the presented image received by the processor is the poster, the processor is programmed to:

generate a new expiration date by extending an expiration date indicating a sharing period of the shared image associated with the presented image received by the processor; and

associate the new expiration date with the shared image associated with the presented image received by the processor.

11. The control device according to claim 9 , wherein if the source of the presented image that has been received together with the shared image by the processor and that is associated with another shared image different from the shared image is the poster, the processor is programmed to:

perform control to relate the received shared image with the other shared image and to determine, if the processor has received an instruction to start specific processing on one of the shared image and the other shared image and if sharing periods of the shared image and the other shared image have not expired, whether or not to perform the specific processing on another one of the shared image and the other shared image.

12. The control device according to claim 9 , wherein if the source of the presented image received by the processor is different from the poster, the processor is programmed to:

perform control to transmit, to the source of the presented image, the presented image associated with the shared image that has previously been posted by a poster of the shared image associated with the presented image received by the processor.

13. The control device according to claim 12 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

perform control to transmit, to the source of the presented image, the presented image associated with the shared image whose sharing period has not expired among shared images that have previously been posted by the poster of the shared image associated with the presented image received by the processor.

14. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein if specific processing has been performed on the shared image posted by the poster, the processor is programmed to:

perform control to transmit information about the specific processing to the poster.

15. The control device according to claim 14 , wherein

the specific processing includes processing of forming the shared image on a recording medium by an image forming device connected to the control device through the communication line, and

the information about the specific processing includes a total number of times the shared image is formed on the recording medium by the image forming device.

16. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

perform control to post the shared image received from the poster and the presented image including the additional information in a first virtual space; and

perform control to post the presented image including the additional information to a second virtual space, the first virtual space being different from the second virtual space.

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a control program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

receiving a shared image to be shared with a user from a poster through a communication line;

generating a presented image, the presented image being an image that is to be presented to the user and that is obtained by processing the shared image such that the image is different from the shared image that has been received, and such that additional information that is not included in the shared image is superimposed on the shared image,

wherein the additional information is identification information that is uniquely associated with the shared image and that is used, when being received, to provide an instruction to start specific processing on the shared image, the specific processing including outputting the shared image;

performing control to transmit the presented image to the poster through the communication line to notify the user of content of the shared image; and

performing control to transmit to the poster, together with the presented image, another presented image associated with another shared image that is different from the shared image posted by the poster and whose sharing period has not expired.

18. A control device comprising:

receiving means for receiving a shared image to be shared with a user from a poster through a communication line;

generating means for generating a presented image, the presented image being an image that is to be presented to the user and that is obtained by processing the shared image such that the image is different from the shared image received by the receiving means, and such that additional information that is not included in the shared image is superimposed on the shared image,

wherein the additional information is identification information that is uniquely associated with the shared image and that is used, when being received, to provide an instruction to start specific processing on the shared image, the specific processing including outputting the shared image;

control means for performing control to transmit the presented image to the poster through the communication line to notify the user of content of the shared image; and

control means for performing control to transmit to the poster, together with the presented image, another presented image associated with another shared image that is different from the shared image posted by the poster and whose sharing period has not expired.
