Abstract
When registration operation for a new place is performed, the client terminal sends registration information along with a user ID to the file management server. The file management server extracts the number of layers and the number of places from the place map information. The file management server computes a layer close to the center of the place map information from the extracted number of layers. Next, the file management server retrieves a place of which the place name is not registered. Moreover, the file management server computes and acquires the distance of the retrieved place, and registers the registration information for the new place in the place having the shortest distance.
