Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a program for causing a computer to execute:
a receiving step of receiving registration of a new image group for at least one existing image group, and
a generation step of specifying an image having consistency with representative images, which are set for the existing image groups respectively, out of the images included in the new image group, and generating from the specified image a representative image of the new image group,
wherein the specified image is specified so that consistency can be provided in a case where the representative images of existing image groups and the representative image of the new image group are list-displayed,
wherein, in the generation step, attribute information is extracted from the representative images of the existing image groups, and an image having consistency with the representative images of the existing image groups is specified out of the images included in the new image group, based on comparison between the extracted attribute information and attribute information on each image included in the new image group, and
wherein, in the generation step, an image having consistency with the representative images of the existing image groups is specified out of the images included in the new image group, based on a score which indicates the consistency calculated from a degree of similarity, for each attribute type, between the attribute information on each image included in the new image group and attribute information extracted from the representative images of the existing image groups.
