Abstract
An information processor obtains information (home page) from an arbitrary information apparatus connected to the information processor via a network, and implements processing in which image data in the home page is extracted and stored so as to be correlated with a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). When the stored image data is designated with a mouse or the like, additional data are received from the information apparatus corresponding to the stored URL correlated with the stored image data, and are displayed. Thereby, image data extracted from a target homepage is used as a bookmark, which enables access to the target homepage, even if the number of bookmarks increases.
