Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
To provide an information acquisition system that allows specific information related to an object item to be acquired concurrently while taking an image thereof by a picture taking device. An ID transmitter 30 provided to an object 20 transmits an object ID that enables an identification of the object. When an image of the object 20 is taken at a position where the object ID can be received, an image taking device 10 obtains the object ID together with the taken image. The image taking device 10 transmits the obtained object ID to an information server 40. The information server 40 returns source information (for example, a URL) corresponding to the received object ID to the image taking device 10. The image taking device 10 stores the received source information together with the taken image. A user acquires related information of the object 20 using the source information.
