Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for determining the preferences of a user of an information processing apparatus. This may be achieved, for example, by an information providing apparatus sending sample content data representing the contents database to the information processing apparatus. Then, the sample content data may be evaluated, and the evaluation results may be sent to the information providing apparatus. The information providing apparatus may then derive user preference information based on the evaluations results.
