Abstract
This invention allows easy update of an image to be included in a document which is submitted on the network. For this purpose, data that set the image sensing times and image sensing states of a camera () the pan angle, tilt angle, and zoom ratio of which can be varied, are stored in an HD (). If one of the stored times has been reached, image sensing is done in accordance with the set contents, and the obtained image is stored in the HD (). Upon launching a candidate edit program, an old document inserted with images is displayed on a CRT (). When a desired image is designated, it is substituted by a new, sensed image candidate corresponding to that designation position. The created document is then uploaded to a WWW server.
