The information processing device includes circuitry configured to receive audio/video (AV) content via a broadcast signal. The circuitry is configured to receive from a provider of the AV content, provider-side preference, demographic or interest (PDI) information. The provider-side PDI information is associated with further content. The circuitry is configured to obtain user-side PDI information, and determine whether the provider-side PDI information and the user-side PDI information match. The circuitry is configured to obtain the further content when the provider-side PDI information and the user-side PDI information are determined to match, including calling at least one application programming interface (API). ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing device for obtaining content, the information processing device comprising: circuitry configured to: receive audio/video (AV) content via a broadcast signal; receive from a provider of the AV content, provider-side preference, demographic or interest (PDI) information, the provider-side PDI information being associated with further content; obtain user-side PDI information; determine whether the provider-side PDI information and the user-side PDI information match; store the further content when the provider-side PDI information and the user-side PDI information are determined to match, including calling at least one application programming interface (API); and reproduce the further content on a display. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry is configured to obtain the user-side PDI information by: obtaining question information from the provider; presenting to a user a question based on the question information; and receiving an answer by the user to the question, wherein the provider-side PDI information includes an answer by the provider to the question and the user-side PDI information includes the answer by the user to the question. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1 comprising: storage configured to store the user-side PDI information, wherein the circuitry is configured to call a user-side PDI information obtaining API to obtain the user-side PDI information from the storage. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry is configured to call a provider-side PDI information obtaining API to obtain the provider-side PDI information from a server. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry is configured to receive the provider-side PDI information via the broadcast signal. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry is configured to call a content obtaining API to obtain the further content. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry is configured to obtain the further content from a server via a network. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the information processing device is a television. ### Claim 9 An information processing method of an information processing device for obtaining content, the information processing method comprising: receiving audio/video (AV) content via a broadcast signal; receiving from a provider of the AV content, provider-side preference, demographic or interest (PDI) information, the provider-side PDI information being associated with further content; obtaining user-side PDI information; determining, by circuitry of the information processing device, whether the provider-side PDI information and the user-side PDI information match; storing, by the circuitry, the further content when the provider-side PDI information and the user-side PDI information are determined to match, including calling at least one application programming interface (API); and reproducing the further content on a display. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The information processing method according to claim 9, wherein the obtaining the user-side PDI information comprises: obtaining question information from the provider; presenting to a user a question based on the question information; and receiving an answer by the user to the question, wherein the provider-side PDI information includes an answer by the provider to the question and the user-side PDI information includes the answer by the user to the question. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The information processing method according to claim 9, wherein the obtaining the user-side PDI information comprises: calling a user-side PDI information obtaining API to obtain the user-side PDI information from a storage that is configured to store the user-side PDI information. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The information processing method according to claim 9, wherein the receiving from the provider of the AV content the provider-side PDI information comprises: calling a provider-side PDI information obtaining API to obtain the provider-side PDI information from a server. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The information processing method according to claim 9, wherein the receiving from the provider of the AV content the provider-side PDI information comprises: receiving the provider-side PDI information via the broadcast signal. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The information processing method according to claim 9, wherein the storing the further content comprises: calling a content obtaining API to obtain the further content. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The information processing method according to claim 9, wherein the storing the further content comprises: obtaining the further content from a server via a network. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The information processing method according to claim 9, wherein the information processing device is a television. ### Claim 17 A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform an information processing method for obtaining content, the information processing method comprising: receiving audio/video (AV) content via a broadcast signal; receiving from a provider of the AV content, provider-side preference, demographic or interest (PDI) information, the provider-side PDI information being associated with further content; obtaining user-side PDI information; determining whether the provider-side PDI information and the user-side PDI information match; storing the further content when the provider-side PDI information and the user-side PDI information are determined to match, including calling at least one application programming interface (API); and reproducing the further content on a display. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry is configured to display an interface on the display to obtain the user-side PDI information. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the provider-side PDI information is included in the broadcast signal.
