This invention can present failure imaging caused by set imaging information or reduce the occurrence of imaging failures more than the related art. An apparatus according to the invention includes a first searching unit configured to search, when a reception unit receives new imaging information for newly performing imaging, past imaging information stored in a storage unit for imaging information which has a similarity degree not less than a preset threshold relative to the new imaging information and is assigned with an evaluation result indicating an imaging failure, and a second searching unit configured to search imaging information corrected with respect to the imaging information found by the first searching unit for imaging information assigned with the evaluation result indicating an imaging success as recommended imaging information in place of the new imaging information.
