1. An information device having a first camera and a display with a touch sensor, the information device comprising:
communication circuitry for downloading an image captured by a second camera through a network, the second camera being mounted on another information device different from the information device; and
framing circuitry for combining an image captured by the first camera and the downloaded captured image of the second camera to obtain a composite screen in which the captured image of the first camera and the downloaded captured image of the second camera are arranged in a first framing pattern,
wherein, when the downloaded captured image of the second camera in the composite screen displayed on the display is recognized as an image to be linked to the captured image of the first camera and the display with the touch sensor receives a selection of a predetermined icon displayed concurrently with the composite screen on the display, information relating to linking the downloaded captured image of the second camera with the captured image of the first camera is stored in a storage together with the captured image of the first camera and an image obtained by arranging the captured image of the first camera and the downloaded captured image of the second camera in a second framing pattern different from the first framing pattern of the composite screen is output via the communication circuitry.
