The history memory unit stores a plurality of specific URL (Uniform Resource Locator) data specified to be browsed, as a browsing history data. The assigning unit assigns priorities to the plurality of specific URL data based on the browsing history data. The requiring unit generates a request to obtain a HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) file of the specific URL data to which the highest-priority is assigned by the assigning unit. The HTML obtaining unit obtains the HTML file corresponding to the request from a WWW (World Wide Web) server in response to the request.
