Abstract

The present invention provides a picture taking device comprising: an image storage device which stores image; an image information code generation device which generates an image information code by encoding at least one of accessory information attached to the image data and shooter information stored in advance; and a display device which displays the image data and the image information code. The picture taking device displays the image information code together with the image data. A person can receive a URL of a Web sire to which the image data is uploaded or an E-mail address of a picture taker by taking an image of the displayed image information code corresponding to the image data. In this way, image data of a large volume can be easily distributed to a large number of destinations.
