Abstract:
1. An information processing device which shares program information specifying a program with other devices connected through a network, comprising: a program information receiving unit for receiving the program information, the accumulation of which is allocated to the information processing device based on a feature amount extracted from the program; a program information storage unit for storing the program information received by the program information receiving unit; a search request receiving unit for receiving a search request which requests program information specifying a program, wherein keywords have been extracted as the feature amount from the program information, and wherein an exponent indicating a degree of the extracted feature amount has been extracted, and wherein the search request includes an exponent indicating a degree of the feature amount requested, allowing transmission of program information matching the keyword and having a higher value of the degree of the amount than the requested degree of the feature amount; a determination unit for determining whether the program information requested by the search request received by the search request receiving unit is stored in the program information storage unit or not; and a transmission unit for transmitting program information requested by the search request to another device which has transmitted the search request when it is determined by the determination unit that program information requested by the search request is stored in the program information storage unit.
