Photographed Information Management System and Method Thereof, and Photographed Information Search System

Abstract

An image information management system includes: a storage medium on which peculiar information is stored; a reading device which reads the peculiar information stored on the storage medium; an image imaging device which shoots a video of a vicinity of a place at which the reading device is provided when the peculiar information stored on the storage medium is read by the reading device; and a processing device which associates, with the peculiar information, image information shot with using the imaging device in a constant time including a time point at which the reading device reads the peculiar information, and registers them in a storage unit. The image information management system reads the peculiar information stored on the storage medium, and associates the peculiar information with the picture information to store them in the storage unit. Then, based on the peculiar information, the image information management system chooses the picture information associated with the peculiar information and stored on the storage unit, and displays it on a display.
