## Abstract

In a network service system, first data is uploaded from a terminal of a member to a server and second data and the first data are viewable by members. The terminal includes a display, a detector configured to detect a screen change operation in a first direction and a screen change operation in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a display controller configured to successively switch and display the first data on the display when the detector detects the screen change operation in the first direction, and successively switch and display the second data when the detector detects the screen change operation in the second direction.

a second terminal attachable to an arm, configured to be connected to the first terminal by communication and to be connected to the server through the first terminal.

### Claim 3

A terminal for a network service system in which first data of first type is uploaded from a terminal of a member to a server and second data related to the first data and of second type differing from the first type and the first data are viewable by members, the terminal comprising:
a display with a screen;
a detector configured to detect a screen change operation in a first direction and a screen change operation in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
a display controller configured to successively switch and display the first data on the screen of the display when the detector detects the screen change operation in the first direction, and successively switch and display the second data on the screen of the display when the detector detects the screen change operation in the second direction; and
a processor configured to, in a state where only a profile image of the member is displayed on the screen of the display with the profile image being an image of the first type, successively switch the profile image displayed on the screen of the display to a profile image of another member on the display so that only the profile image of the other member is displayed on the screen of the display when the detector detects the screen change operation in the first direction, and successively switch on the screen of the display the profile image to an image belonging to a member whose profile image is being displayed, as an image of the second type, so that the profile image is no longer displayed on the screen and only the image of the second type is displayed when the detector detects the screen change operation in the second direction, such that profile images of the first type and images belonging to a member whose profile is being displayed of the second type do not appear at the same time on the screen of the display.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The network service system according to claim 1, wherein the image belonging to a member is a work subjected to image editing by the member.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)
