1. A system for accessing an address to display a homepage, comprising:
- an operation device that outputs a control command input by a user to mechanically control an image pickup direction of an image pickup device for the image pickup device to obtain an image;
a receiving device that receives an image obtained by the image pickup device which is controlled based on the control command of the direction of the image pickup device;
a monitoring device that determines whether the image received by said receiving device includes a predetermined image;
an extracting device that extracts an address of the homepage corresponding to the predetermined image when the monitoring device determines that the predetermined image is included in the image received by said receiving device; and
an accessing device that accesses the address extracted by the extracting device corresponding to the predetermined image to display the homepage on a display device when the monitoring device determines that the received image includes the predetermined image and if a user performs an operation to designate the predetermined image.
