Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information providing system, an information providing server, a user terminal device, a content display device, a computer program and a content display method. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, an information retrieval service has been developed in which an information retrieval server retrieves contents and the like in a network, and the retrieval result is displayed on a display screen of a user's computer. [0003] If such an information retrieval service is used, the information retrieval server is able to collect and accumulate metadata related to content, and retrieve content corresponding to retrieval conditions in the form of metadata such as keywords, etc. sent from a user computer , thereby displaying search results on a display screen of a computer, such as disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 10-178597, which is a document related to the field of the present in...
