Title: INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
Abstract: An information processing system includes: a search system (10) to search, for an image to be found, a database according to a search request and based on similarity thereof to a search key image, the database having the image and linkage information registered in association with each other, and transmit the linkage information to a transmitter of the request when the image is found; an acquisition unit (204) to acquire an image captured by a terminal (30) and the request with the captured image as the search key image; a search unit (13, 18) to perform the requested searching and transmit, to the terminal (30), the linkage information as a result of the searching; and a notification management unit (410) to transfer permission information to a notification unit (411) when the found image is a particular image, the permission information enabling identification of the terminal (30) and indicating that providing a notification to the terminal (30) is permitted.

Claims: number: 1
text: An information processing system including an image search system configured to:
number: 2
text: The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein
the linkage information includes an instruction for displaying, on the terminal device, a selection input section to which an entry for selecting one item from two or more items is input, and
in response to the input to the selection input section, the notification management unit transfers information indicating the item selected from the two or more items and the permission information to the notification unit.
number: 3
text: The information processing system according to claim 2, wherein, upon receiving the permission information from the terminal device in response to the linkage information, the notification management unit transmits the instruction to the terminal device.
number: 4
text: An information processing method in an information processing system including an image search system configured to:
number: 5
text: The information processing method according to claim 4, wherein
the linkage information includes an instruction for displaying, on the terminal device, a selection input section to which an entry for selecting one item from two or more items is input, and
the transferring of permission information includes, in response to the input to the selection input section, transferring first information and the permission information to the notification unit, the first information indicating the item selected from the two or more items.
number: 6
text: The information processing method according to claim 5, wherein the transferring of permission information includes transmitting the instruction to the terminal device when the permission information is received from the terminal device in response to the linkage information.
