In addition, although the case where related information is goods is mentioned as an example below and each example is demonstrated, the following each example is materialized, also when related information is a place.

<Example 1-2 of displaying related information>
It will be as follows if this example is demonstrated based on FIG.1, FIG.3, and FIG.18.

In this example, a configuration example will be described in which the information processing apparatus gives priority to the related information according to the timing of the reaction by the user. For the sake of convenience, the same reference numerals will be appended to members having the same functions as the members described in the above example, and the description will be omitted.

Also in this example, the configuration shown in FIG. 1 is used. However, in the present example, the related information generation unit 22 gives priority to the related information.

FIG. 18 is a sequence diagram showing when the user starts watching a program and related information is displayed on the display screen. Hereinafter, each step number in FIG. 18 will be described.

The meta information distribution device 2 generates meta information extracted from the contents of the program for each program during or after the broadcast of the program by the broadcast wave in time series. The receiving unit 25 included in the information processing device 20 receives the meta information from the meta information distribution device 2. (S501)
The related information generation unit 22 refers to the meta information and generates related information related to the program. The control unit 21 stores the related information generated by the related information generation unit 22 in the storage unit 23. (S502)
When the user views a predetermined program, the display control unit 12 starts to display the video of the program on the display unit 13 as illustrated in 50A of FIG. 3.

In the present embodiment, when the user is interested in the product displayed on the display unit 13, the display device 10 can capture the reaction of the user. As an example, the remote controller of the display device 10 is provided with an “Like” button, and the user presses the “Like” button to notify the display device 10 that the user is interested in the product. it can. Also, as another example, the user can utter and the microphone 31 can collect the user's utterance, thereby notifying the display device 10 that the user is interested in the product.

As in the example shown in 50A of FIG. 3, when the introduction of the book “○○ Photo Album” is displayed on the display unit 13 and the user feels “this book is interesting”, the user operates the remote control of the display device 10 The "Like" button can be pressed.

The timing specifying unit 30 specifies a reaction timing according to the reaction of the user. (S503) The timing specifying unit 30 specifies, for example, the reaction timing at which the user reacted in accordance with the user's operation of the “Like” button on the remote control of the display device 10 by the user and the voice of the user collected by the microphone 31. it can. In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, since the “Like” button is pressed at 11:50, the timing specifying unit 30 specifies that the reaction timing at which the user reacted is 11:50.

Further, the display control unit 12 can cause the display unit 13 to display “Accepted” in response to the timing specifying unit 30 specifying the user's reaction.

The acquisition unit 32 acquires user reaction information indicating the reaction of the user from the display device 10. (S504) The user reaction information includes information indicating the time when the user reacted, and information indicating the program that the user was watching at that time.

The extraction unit 33 specifies the reaction timing at which the user reacted according to the user reaction information acquired by the acquisition unit 32, and identifies the program, and is stored in the storage unit 23 according to the identified reaction timing and the program. The related information to be output to the display device 10 is extracted from the related information. (S505) Specifically, the extraction unit 33 specifies the product to which the user has reacted based on the time and the program, and stores the related information related to the product in the storage unit 23 as the related information to be output to the display device 10. Extract from the stored related information and identify.

The extraction unit 33 may extract a plurality of pieces of related information for one piece of user reaction information. For example, the extraction unit 33 may be configured to extract one or more pieces of related information associated with a predetermined time included in a predetermined time width before and after the reaction timing specified by the timing specification unit 30.

The related information generation unit 22 gives priority to the related information extracted by the extraction unit 33. (S511) In other words, the related information to which the priority is given is related information associated with the predetermined time included in the predetermined time width before and after the reaction timing specified by the timing specifying unit 30. It is. According to the above configuration, whether or not the related information is linked to the timing included in the predetermined time width can be determined based on the presence or absence of the priority.

The related information generation unit 22 usually gives higher priority to related information linked to a timing closer to the identified reaction timing. In addition, the related information generation unit 22 is usually the same as the program or scene being broadcast at the specified reaction timing even if the related information is linked to the timing separated by the same time as the specified reaction timing. Give higher priority to related information linked to a program or a scene. In addition, even if it is the same relevant information, the priority provided to the said relevant information differs for every transmission destination.

Further, the priority may be assigned to related information other than the related information extracted by the extraction unit 33.

The related information output unit 24 transmits, to the display device 10, related information including the related information extracted by the extraction unit 33. (S506)
The related information acquisition unit 15 receives the related information, and the control unit 11 stores the related information in the storage unit 14. (S507)
Next, the user finishes viewing the program and performs an operation to turn off the screen display of the display unit 13 such as pressing the power button of the remote control of the display device 10. (S508)
The display control unit 12 displays on the display unit 13 the related information stored in the storage unit 14 and to which the priority determined according to the reaction timing is given. According to the above configuration, the importance of the user can be classified according to the priority in the related information.

The display control unit 12 displays the related information on the display unit 13 in a display mode according to the priority given to the related information. As an example of the display mode according to the priority, the related information with high priority includes a configuration in which a decorated frame is added.
