Abstract

An imaging device detects an occurrence of a trigger event, stores images before and after the trigger event occurrence for a specified time and transmits them to an image management server. The image management server stores the image file and key information associated with the image file, the key information including information related to timing of the trigger event occurrence related to the image in an image DB. When the image management server receives a search condition, the image management server obtains an image file stored in association with the key information satisfying the designated search condition from the image DB.
