Abstract
In the present invention, a database has feature information stored in association with flower sample images flower names, leaf sample images, and images indicating attention points for narrowing down the flower names. An extracting section extracts flower sample images having a high similarity to the image of the imaged flower as candidate images by comparing feature information of the image of the imaged flower and feature information stored in the database. A control section causes the image of the imaged flower, the extracted candidate images, flower names corresponding to the candidate images, and attention points for narrowing down the candidate images to be arranged and displayed on a display section, and changes the candidate images to their respective leaf sample images for display. The control section also changes the candidate images to images indicating their respective attention points and causes them to be displayed on the display section.
