Facial characteristics are extracted from the second photo and the characteristics are added to attribute information of the first photo. When the user wants to browse photos showing or including himself/herself, a third photo of the user is captured and facial characteristics extracted. One or more first photos are determined according to the facial characteristics of the third photo, and the one or more first photos showing or including the user are collected in one group and displayed.
