Abstract: This invention provides a technique for generating a layout which matches preferences of more persons by selecting images having high preference evaluation values including not only preference degrees explicitly set by the user but also access counts in response to browse instructions and the like. To this end, using both a value indicating a preference degree explicitly set for a given image by the user and an interest degree (automatic preference degree) determined based on a browse count, an importance degree (preference evaluation value) for that image is obtained. Then, images to be laid out on a template are determined according to the importance degrees.
