The external memory measure unit measures at least one of a speed of the interface, an available capacity and a use history of the external memory accessed via the interface. The store determining unit determines whether to store the contents in the external memory based on a value measured by the external memory measure unit. The transmission controller controls to transmit the contents to the external memory via the interface when it is determined that the contents are stored in the external memory.
