The steps from the moment a user pays attention on a certain commodity until the moment the user purchases it are serialized so as to eliminate the stress felt when purchasing a commodity. The user images the commodity on which he/she pays attention by a mobile telephone terminal (1) and transmits image data (7) via the Internet (2) to a server (3). The server (3) has a DB (4) containing images of various commodities and persons as well as logo marks and a DB (5) containing information associated with the image data in the DB (4). The server (3) performs image recognition processing for the image data (7), searches in the image data in the DB (4), data having a high matching degree with the image data (7), and extracts the corresponding associated information from the DB (5). The associated information is presented to the user via the Internet (2). Only by transmitting the image data (7), the user can get associated information on the commodity on which he/she has paid attention, access the site (6) associated with the commodity according to the associated information so as to get more detailed information, and purchase the commodity.
