Abstract
A copy supporting device includes a receiving unit, a content list display unit, a first input accepting unit, a sub menu display unit, a second input accepting unit, and a relevant content extracting unit. The sub menu display unit displays, on the basis of attribute information of the designated content which is designated from the content list by the external input, a sub menu which includes items designating relevance to the designated content. The second input accepting unit accepts a designation of an item in the sub menu by the external input. The relevant content extracting unit extracts contents related to the designated content from the content list on the basis of the designated item.
Claims15
A copy supporting device which communicates with a first terminal used by a user who provides contents, comprising:
- a receiving unit which receives a content list of the contents which the user possesses from the first terminal;
- a content list display unit which displays the content list;
- a first input accepting unit which accepts an external input for designating any content in the content list;
- a sub menu display unit which displays, based on attribute information of a designated content designated from the content list by the external input, a sub menu which includes items designating relevance to the designated content;
- a second input accepting unit which accepts a designation of the item by an external input;
- and
- a relevant content extracting unit which extracts contents related to the designated content from the content list based on the designated item.
A terminal device which sends a recording instruction signal to a program recording device which records designated programs, comprising:
- a program information obtaining unit which obtains program information including identification names of programs and attribute information of the programs by an electromagnetic method;
- a program list display unit which displays a list of programs based on the program information;
- a first input accepting unit which accepts an external input for designating any program in the list;
- a sub menu display unit which displays a sub menu including items which designates relevance to the designated program based on the attribute information of the designated program which is designated from the list by the external input;
- a second input accepting unit which accepts a designation of the item by an external input;
- and
- a relevant program extracting unit which extracts programs related to the designated program from the list based on the designated item.
A copy supporting method which is executed by a copy supporting device which communicates with a first terminal used by a user who provides contents, comprising:
- a receiving process which receives a content list of the contents which the user possesses from the first terminal;
- a content list display process which displays the content list;
- a first input accepting process which accepts an external input for designating any content in the content list;
- a sub menu display process which displays, based on attribute information of a designated content designated from the content list by the external input, a sub menu which includes items designating relevance to the designated content;
- a second input accepting process which accepts a designation of the item by an external input;
- and
- a relevant content extracting process which extracts contents related to the designated content from the content list based on the designated item.
A copy supporting program stored on a non-transitory storage medium and executed by a computer which communicates with a first terminal used by a user who provides contents, making the computer function as:
- a receiving unit which receives a content list of the contents which the user possesses from the first terminal;
- a content list display unit which displays the content list;
- a first input accepting unit which accepts an external input for designating any content in the content list;
- a sub menu display unit which displays, based on attribute information of a designated content designated from the content list by the external input, a sub menu which includes items designating relevance to the designated content;
- a second input accepting unit which accepts a designation of the item by an external input;
- and
- a relevant content extracting unit which extracts contents related to the designated content from the content list based on the designated item.
