Abstract
There is provided an information image utilizing system for setting in detail access rights with respect to performing communications and sending and receiving information through a user information image, which specifies a communication destination user or the like and performs communications and sending and receiving information, and performing authentication based on such access rights. A client () requests an information image managing server () to provide ownership information of a user information image of its own. The information image managing server () extracts user IDs of owners of the user information image and attribute information of copy information image data corresponding to those owners from an information image managing table. The server () sends the user IDs and the attribute information to the client (). When an instruction to change the attribute information or delete the copy information image is sent from the client (), the information image managing server () updates the contents of the information image managing table. The information image managing server () sends the updated contents to a folder managing server () to update the contents of a folder managing table.
