Is output to the content addition service unit 9.
- the content addition service unit 9 analyzes the metadata describing the additional information and extracts only the content whose encoding method is MPEG-4.
- the image data of the extracted search result is transmitted to the client user terminal via the output control unit 10. Since the encoding method of the content is not suitable for the processing capability of the receiving terminal, if the text information describing the content is included in the additional information, the text information is replaced with an image. May be sent to the user.
- a search result that cannot be received by a receiving terminal in response to a search request from a client is excluded on the server side, or an alternative content such as text information is transmitted.
- search results can be easily displayed on various terminals with different processing capacities.
- the search result of the image search unit 7 is used. If the content of the result is a format that cannot be displayed on the client receiving terminal, the format conversion is performed by the content supplementary service unit, it is excluded from the search results to be transmitted, or if the text information, etc. Although the example of transmitting the alternative content has been described, in the third embodiment, the content addition service unit has a function of transmitting the content of the search result to another terminal designated by the user.
- the image retrieval / delivery system according to the third embodiment has basically the same configuration as that according to the first embodiment, but differs in the operation of the content addition service unit. Here, the operation of the content addition service unit will be described.
- the content supplementary service unit 9 of the server transmits the content of the server whose encoding format is MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 in order to transmit the content of the search result to the mobile phone.
- the content addition service unit 9 simultaneously transmits the MPEG-2 content to a terminal (for example, a PC terminal) designated by the user who can receive the original MPEG-2 content. Send it.
- the user may specify whether to transmit the original MPEG-2 content to a terminal capable of receiving the original MPEG-2 content.
- the search result that cannot be received by the receiving terminal in response to the search request from the client is subjected to format conversion or exclusion on the server side, or alternative content.
- the content of the original search results can be sent to the specified terminal according to the instruction from the user, so that the search results can be easily displayed on various terminals with different processing capabilities. Can be.
- the search by the image search unit 7 is performed. If the content of the search result is in a format that cannot be displayed on the receiving terminal of the client, the content addition service unit 9 converts the format, excludes it from the search result to be transmitted, or deletes the text information.
- an alternative content is transmitted.
- an alternative process can be selected when the content of the search result by the image search unit 7 cannot be received by the user. An alternative process is determined in advance, or an alternative process is specified by the server.
- the alternative processing is stored in the data storage unit 4 of a certain server, for example, and the user is assigned to this server. If the search result cannot be received when a search request is made, the content additional service unit 9 performs the above-mentioned alternative processing.
- the selected alternative process is stored in the user area if the user's terminal or server has a user area, and the conditions held in the next and subsequent searches are stored. It may be reflected. This makes it possible to perform searches that match the user's preferences. The same applies to other search conditions specified by the user.
- the user, the server, or the content can specify an alternative process when the search result cannot be received by the user's receiving terminal. Searches can be made to reflect the intent of the server or content creator.
- the configuration of the server and client of the image retrieval / delivery system according to the fifth embodiment is the same as in FIGS. 1 and 6, and the processing operation of the content additional service unit 9 is different.
- the processing of (1) will be described in detail.
- the content addition service unit 9 It analyzes the content description message attached to the content of the search result and extracts only the copyright-free content free of charge.
- the extracted content is transmitted to the user via the output control unit 10.
- searching for paid content instead of delivering the content itself as a search result, the content corresponding to the advertisement of the content is transmitted.
- the content corresponding to the content advertisement is, for example, a content that collects typical scenes such as “movie trailer” if the content is “movie”.
- the server side analyzes the content description metadata attached to the content, and converts the format of the content and the search result according to the search conditions of the user and the processing capability of the receiving terminal.
- the server transmits the content and the metadata describing the content description
- the client analyzes the content description data in the client. The client performs processing such as exceeding the ability or not receiving content that does not meet the user's search conditions.

- the same components as those in FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted. Next, an outline will be described.
- the client user terminal receives content description metadata describing the characteristics of the content of the search result from the server.
- the received content description message is input to the content description message analysis unit 18 to check the format of the search result content. If these formats are in a format that can be received by the user terminal, the client user terminal sends a content transmission request to the server, receives the content, and if the user terminal cannot receive the content. Do not receive content.
- the user When reception is not possible at the user terminal, the user may be allowed to select an alternative process as in the fourth embodiment.
- whether or not the client terminal can receive the content is determined by analyzing the metadata describing the characteristics and format of the content. Therefore, search results can be easily displayed on various terminals with different processing capabilities. Industrial applicability
