Further, an &#x201c;image library&#x201d; with respect to a trip period of the clientis generated based on a plurality of first images that are registered in the information processing serverin response to the start of an &#x201c;off&#x201d; period of the movable body V that occurs one or a plurality of times.

A navigation server and the like are provided which can provide to a user more meaningful information that takes into consideration a movement history of the user. Positions of a moving body X at time points of switching between an operation ON state and an operation OFF state are extracted as 'first designated locations' from among a chronological order of positions (probe information) of the moving body X transmitted from a navigation client. A designated location is extracted from among the first designated locations of the moving body X based on a requirement that the designated location is outside a base area of the moving body X. The designated location is then stored and held in, or registered in, a server storage device
