Abstract
A mark management server embeds a mark ID and so on in a specified mark image in response to a mark request from a WWW server, registers information related to a Web page corresponding to this mark ID in a mark management DB, and sends the mark embedded with the information to the server. The server attaches this mark to a created Web page, and registers the Web page in a Web page DB. A client terminal acquires a Web page from the server, reads information embedded in a mark, and issues a request for a search according to the mark to the server. The server references the DB, and sends information associated with a Web page corresponding to a specified mark ID to the terminal.
