First Claim
1. A picture book production system comprising:
- a memory means for storing a plurality of sentence data associated with a behavior of a main character corresponding to a first plurality of keywords representing said behavior of said main character in a picture book, said memory means also storing a plurality of image data corresponding to said plurality of sentence data;
a selection means for selecting a second plurality of keywords from said first plurality of keywords, the second plurality of keywords being smaller or equal to in number to the first plurality of keywords;
a production means for reading out from said memory means said sentence data and said image data by using a sentence data retrieval key comprising said main character and said selected second plurality of keywords, and synthesizing said read-out sentence data and said read-out image data to produce a plurality of picture book constituent parts;
a connecting sentence producing means for selecting a connecting sentence to be inserted between said picture book constituent parts, said connecting sentence comprising a blank, and then inserting a word associated with said sentence data retrieval key into said blank to modify said connecting sentence; and
a scenario combining means for combining said plurality of picture book constituent parts while inserting said modified connecting sentence between said picture book constituent parts to produce said picture book.

Abstract
The object of the invention is to provide a picture book production system accompanied with a server and a recording medium for creating a picture book, in order to reduce a user'"'"'s energy and to help create a picture book containing images and sentences which are mutually consistent despite a very small amount of stored data. When a user operates a mobile phone 40 to select three keywords, which are transmitted via a wireless base station 30 and a network 20 to a server 10, where a CPU 11 of the server 10 converts the arrangement of the three keywords, reads sentence data along with image data corresponding to the keywords from a memory 12, and produces three scenarios (picture book constituent parts) by synthesizing the sentence data and the image data, so that the picture book is produced by combining the scenarios.
