In step S1, processing is started by pressing a home button or the like. Then, whether or not an operation for a program detailed search is made is detected (step S2). When the operation is detected (YES), a program detailed search screen is displayed in step S3. Then, the process goes to step S4. When press of a characteristic (category) search operating button is detected (YES), a search condition screen is displayed in step S5. When a search condition is selected on this screen in step S6 (YES), the category search condition thus selected is stored in a memory in step S7. Subsequently, when an operating signal for displaying a search result is detected in step S8 (YES), the search result (a program table list) is displayed in step S9, as shown in Fig. 3C . Here, when a cursor is moved from one displayed category to another, the programs searched for in the category to which the cursor is moved are displayed on the list. Subsequently, when a movement of the cursor onto the program list is detected (YES) as shown in step S10, the process goes to step S11. If there is no movement of the cursor onto the program list (NO), the display is switched to a category search condition input screen, and a new search condition can be inputted in step S15. Then the process returns to step S7. In step S11, the program displayed on the top of the program list can be highlighted, and moreover, to move the highlighted position can be moved. When a determination button is pressed in step S12 (YES), the highlighted program can be displayed on the display unit in step S13. In this way, the processing is terminated (end: step S14). Accordingly, it is possible to simplify a continuous search operation for searching contents such as programs and to make a search result easier to understand. |
