Abstract: When an indicating situation recognizer recognizes an indicating situation on a display surface of a display unit indicated by a finger, a drawing processor superimposes a drawn image corresponding to the indicating situation onto a map displayed on the display surface. When recognizing an image masking request signal indicating that the map is hidden, an image masking processor provides a display state where the map is hidden and only the drawn image is displayed. When recognizing the indicating situation by the indicating situation recognizer while the map is masked, an image exposure processor performs an image exposure process to display the hidden map in an area corresponding to the indicating situation. Accordingly, it can be prevented that the meaning of the drawn image becomes difficult to grasp because an area irrelevant to the drawn image is displayed on the displayed map M. The meaning and the tendency of the drawn image is easily checkable on the displayed map.

Abstract: A server of an advertisement distribution system allows downloading of content data in response to a request of a terminal and makes the terminal periodically download shared content managing information. Then, when the server recognizes that the content data stored in a server storage before the server storage goes out of order has to be stored in a new server storage (restoration process), the server makes the terminal upload the shared content managing information and acquires from the terminal the content data specified by the shared content managing information to store the content data in the new server storage.

Abstract: An image-sharing server of an image-sharing system acquires candidate storage data including an update image currently displayed on an image-providing terminal. When, for instance, a predetermined reception band of a second image-receiving terminal is narrower than an optimum transmission band of the image-providing terminal, the image-sharing server specifies the last update data in an order for the update data to be stored in a second transmission buffer as comparison data. Further, when determining that an update region of the comparison data is included in an update region of the candidate storage data, the image-sharing server deletes the comparison data and stores the candidate storage data in the second transmission buffer. Subsequently, the image-sharing server transmits the update data of the second transmission buffer to a second receiving terminal in the order for the update data to be stored to update the image currently displayed on the second image-receiving terminal to update data.
