Abstract
The invention provides a service providing system which allows the user to easily receive service, which allows the user to receive not only information providing service but a variety of services, and which can flexibly handle a change in condition. The invention can include a virtual-object management apparatus that associates object information related to the shape and the location of a virtual object with service information and stores them, and sends the object information and the service information stored in a virtual-object management database to a digital camera in response to a transmission request sent from the digital camera. When the digital camera determines, from the obtained location information and the received object information, that the digital camera is disposed in the inside area of the virtual object identified by the shape and location of the virtual object, it can execute an action corresponding to the virtual object, according to the received service information.
