INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to recommend a program in accordance with the taste of a user. SOLUTION: A similar program recommending part 43 recommends a similar recommend program by vector matching and outputs it to a recommend program determining part 49. On the basis of set items, a routine program recommending part 53 recommends a routine recommend program and outputs it to the recommend program determining part 49. On the basis of an operation history stored in a history storage part 47, an acceptance rate calculating part 48 calculates the accept rates of the routine recommend program and the similar recommend program. On the basis of the accept rates calculated by the accept rate calculating part 48, the recommend program determining part 49 determines the numbers of the routine recommend programs and of the similar recommend programs, generated a recommend program display picture and outputs it to a recording and reproducing apparatus by a recommend information output part 50. This invention can be applied to a program recommendation system. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
