Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the selection of these programs is selected based on personal information such as the sex of the viewer and viewing history information of programs of what type (genre) has been watched in the past, so if the viewing history does not change significantly, the selected of programs are likely to become fixed in similar trending programs
[0006] In addition, since the fact that the program has been watched is different from the evaluation of the content of the program, it is difficult to say that the preference of the viewer is fully reflected in the selection of the program based only on the viewing history or personal information.

[0095]

[0096] The program selection system of the present invention collects evaluations of programs by many viewers, the viewing tendency of the viewers who made the evaluations, or personal information (profile) as personal information, and selects programs that match the preferences of a certain viewer based on the results. programs and prompts.

[0097] That is, as a recommended program for a certain viewer, a program that other viewers who have the same personal situation as the viewer find interesting is a recommended program for the viewer.

Abstract

A program selecting system comprises reproducing devices and a server. The system is characterized in that while a reproducing device is reproducing a program, the information for identifying the program being reproduced, the evaluation of the program being reproduced by the viewer, and an attribute of the viewer are sent to the server; on receiving the evaluations and so forth, the server statistically processes the evaluations of the program by attribute of the viewers and stores the results; in response to a request of a reproducing device, the server sends to the reproducing device a program highly evaluated by other viewers having the same attribute as the viewer of the reproducing device and the evaluations; and the reproducing device displays the ranking of the program according to the evaluations of the received program.

Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the development of broadcasting technology, various programs are broadcasted not only through terrestrial broadcasting, but also through CATV (Cable Television: Cable Television), satellite broadcasting, etc. Development, many programs are automatically recorded into large-capacity storage media. [0003] In this way, when there are many programs that can be viewed, based on information related to the program such as EPG (Electric Program Guide: Electronic Program Guide) transmitted along with the video / audio of the program, it is possible to select a program that meets the viewer's preference. A technology that prompts and automatically reco...
