Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing system

An information processing method executed by an information processing apparatus communicably connected to a communication terminal through a network, the method comprising:

• receiving from the communication terminal through the network, a search input entered at the communication terminal;
• transmitting to the communication terminal through the network, first screen information of a search result list screen to be displayed in a selectable manner, the first screen information indicating an image or video identified by identification information of an image or video stored in one or more memories in association with the state information specified based on the input,
• the one or more memories storing, for each predetermined state of an object, state information indicating a predetermined state of the object, identification information for identifying an image or video that visually represents at least one mode of the predetermined state, and document information including a description describing at least one mode represented by the information of the image or video in association with each other;
• receiving from the communication terminal through the network, specific information for specifying one image or video selected by a user from among the images or videos displayed in the selectable manner on the search result list screen;
• generating description information including a part or all of a description included in the document information stored in association with identification information for identifying the image or video specified based on the specific information;
• and
• transmitting the description information to the communication terminal through the network.

A non-transitory recording medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to perform an information processing method executed by an information processing apparatus communicably connected to a communication terminal through a network, the method comprising:

• receiving from the communication terminal through the network, a search input entered at the communication terminal;
• transmitting to the communication terminal through the network, first screen information of a search result list screen to be displayed in a selectable manner, the first screen information indicating an image or video identified by identification information of an image or video stored in one or more memories in association with the state information specified based on the input,
• the one or more memories storing, for each predetermined state of an object, state information indicating a predetermined state of the object, identification information for identifying an image or video that visually represents at least one mode of the predetermined state, and document information including a description describing at least one mode represented by the information of the image or video in association with each other;
• receiving from the communication terminal through the network, specific information for specifying one image or video selected by a user from among the images or videos displayed in the selectable manner on the search result list screen;
• generating description information including a part or all of a description included in the document information stored in association with identification information for identifying the image or video specified based on the specific information;
• and
• transmitting the description information to the communication terminal through the network.
