Abstract
The system according to the present invention includes the server and the client apparatus connected through a network. The server identifies the type of the card based on the a few figures of the card number input by the user. Furthermore, the server obtains image data of the card and positions of items printed or embossed on the card based on the identified card. The image data and the positions of items has already been stored with the server. Then the server generates a data for displaying an input assistance screen based on the image data and the positions of items and transmits the generated data to the client apparatus where the input assistance screen is displayed.
