Information retrieval system and information processing system

An information retrieval system characterized by:

• transmitting means which outputs image information, image identification information indicating a change in the kind of said image information, and time information about the elapsed time after the change in the kind of said image information;
• display means which displays an image based on said image information;
• position specifying means which specifies an arbitrary position in said image displayed on said display means and outputs position information based on the specified position;
• and
• data holding means which, based on said position information, said image identification information and said time information, holds data associated with said image specified by said position specifying means;
• wherein the data associated with said image specified by said position specifying means is displayed on said display means.

An information retrieval system characterized by:

• transmitting means which outputs image information, image identification information indicating the kind of said image information, and specified area information indicating the presence or absence of interrupt information during the outputting of said image information;
• display means which displays an image based on said image information;
• position specifying means which specifies an arbitrary position in said image displayed on said display means and outputs position information based on the specified position;
• and
• data holding means which, based on said position information, said image identification information and said specified area information, holds data associated with said image specified by said position specifying means;
• wherein the data associated with said image specified by said position specifying means is displayed on said display means.

An information processing system characterized by:

• transmitting means which outputs image information and image identification information indicating the kind of said image information;
• display means which displays an image based on said image information;
• position specifying means which specifies an arbitrary position in said image displayed on said display means and outputs position information based on the specified position;
• and
• process executing means which, based on said position information and said image identification information, executes a process associated with said image specified by said position specifying means.
