Abstract: A request receiver (101) receives a request in which image ID information and a parameter for image processing are specified, from a terminal. An image processor (102) acquires an image based on the ID information that was specified in the received request, and by using the parameter that was specified in the received request to apply the image processing on the acquired image, outputs extracted information that was extracted from inside the image. A response transmitter (103) transmits a response in which the extracted information that was outputted by the image processor (102) is specified, to the terminal. When the extracted information that is associated with the ID information and the parameter that were specified in the received request is cached, the image processor (102), instead of acquiring the image and applying the image processing, obtains the cached extracted information, and outputs the obtained extracted information.

Abstract: A search device (101) obtains a specified length to be specified in a search query based on a position of an object having such a position set in accordance with the intent of a user.
