Abstract
The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for producing a calendar. A report, which includes an image and is contributed by a contributor, is recorded and distributed. The invention counts the number of viewings of the image in the report by a viewer, and acquires information on a photographing density. This photographing density expresses the number of images photographed or contributed in a predetermined period before and after a time and date when the image in the report was photographed or contributed. The invention extracts an image for a calendar on the basis of the number of viewings and the photographing density from among the images contributed or photographed in a predetermined month. When a calendar production instruction is received, the invention produces a calendar for the predetermined month when the image was contributed or photographed using the extracted image.
