PURPOSE: To construct a flexible system with extendability by separating a computer performing an image display and a computer inputting additional information and storing received additional information by making the information correspond to an image.
CONSTITUTION: When a computer 10 reads an image from a storage device 16 and displays this image on a display 14, in a method inputting the additional information of the image in the computer 10 by referring to the image displayed on a display 14, the additional information is transmitted from a computer 20 connected with the computer 10 via a communication line 19. When the computer 10 receives this additional information, the additional information is stored in the storage device 16 by making the information correspond to an image being displayed. As a result, because a screen is not hidden due to a guide for an input and display information facilitating the input and the sharing of functions is distinctive, the development and maintenance, etc., of a system become easy and a flexible system with extendability can be constructed.
