Abstract
A data processing system providing a result of filtering an item desired by an individual user. On receipt of a request from a user terminal for executing a process of filtering a predetermined item, a filtering evaluation system instructs a plurality of filtering systems to individually execute a filtering process. On receipt of the result of the filtering process, the user terminal individually sets specific compatibility ratings for designating ratings of compatibility with a desired degree and then transfer the rated rankings to the filtering evaluation system. Based on the received compatibility ratings, the filtering evaluation system establishes a preferential filtering system out from the various filtering systems. Thenceforth, the user terminal is enabled to receive the result of the filtering process acquired by the preferential filtering system.
