A PC extracts a word corresponding to a user's interest from mail documents transmitted/received by the user and records data on interest. In S121 and S122, when log-in is performed by the user, an HDD recorder requests to acquire data on interest and according to this request, the PC transmits data on interest corresponding to the user logged in. In S123 and S124, the HDD recorder transmits the received data on interest to a server. In S131, the server searches and transmits program information matched with the data on interest received. In S125, the HDD recorder sets a program recording reservation according to the program information contained in the search result. The present invention can be applied to a program installed in a personal computer.
