Abstract
When image data in which a digital watermark is embedded accesses a server, particularly, a Web server, via a network, the server is appropriately selected and accessed via the network in accordance with the environments of the clients that access the server. A network access terminal includes an extraction unit for extracting first information from an image that includes the first information, which is multi-valued, an acquisition unit for acquiring from a predetermined storage device the first information extracted by the extraction unit and address information specified by second information different from the first information, from among a plurality of address information stored in the predetermined storage device, and a communication unit for accessing an address based on the address information obtained by the acquisition unit.
