To provide a technique for properly generating/managing three-dimensional images, such as a three-dimensional avatar, with different data formats.SOLUTION: An apparatus includes: a base avatar generation unit 1 which generates a base avatar; a conversion method selection unit 2 which selects a type of data conversion processing to be applied to the base avatar; a difference data generation unit 3 which generates difference data which is a portion different from data constituting the base avatar out of data constituting a modification avatar; an avatar database 4 which stores the data of the base avatar and the difference data; a modification avatar reproducing unit 5 which reproduces the modification avatar based on the data of the base avatar and the difference data; a disclosure level setting unit 6 which sets a disclosure level of an avatar in relation to a specific user; a disclosure avatar adjustment unit 7 which adjusts an appearance of the base avatar or/and the modification avatar in accordance with the set disclosure level; and an output unit 8 which outputs the avatar data to the outside.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】３次元アバター等の３次元画像の管理において、異なるデータ形式のものを適切に生成・管理する技術を実現する。【解決手段】基本となるアバターを生成する基本アバター生成部１と、基本アバターに対して行うデータ変換処理の形式を選択する変換形式選択部２と、変形アバターを構成するデータのうち、基本アバターを構成するデータと相違する部分である差分データを生成する差分データ生成部３と、本アバターのデータ及び差分データを記憶するアバターデータベース４と、基本アバターのデータと差分データに基づき変形アバターを再生する変形アバター再生部５と、特定のユーザとの関係でアバターの公開レベルを設定する公開レベル設定部６と、設定された公開レベルに合わせて、基本アバター又は／及び変形アバターの外観を調整する公開アバター調整部７と、アバターデータを外部に出力する出力部８を備える。【選択図】図１
