Abstract
The present invention allows a program vector representing attributes of a program to be generated as follows. At a step S, EPG data is received. At a step S, meta data necessary for generation of a program vector PP is extracted from the EPG data. At a step S, a morphological analysis is carried out on contents and title included in the meta data to disassemble the contents and the title into words. At a step S, items included in the meta data are subjected to a vector creation process to generate the program vector PP. At a step S, an effect vector is extracted on the basis of a genre of a program associated with the meta data. At a step S, the extracted effect vector is associated with the generated program vector PP and the processing is ended. The present invention can be applied to a distribution server for distributing contents.
