• a dividing unit configured to divide a plurality of first contents into a plurality of groups based on attribute information;
• a switching unit configured to switch a screen displayed by a display unit between a screen in a first display format, in which second contents including the plurality of groups divided by the dividing unit are displayed, and a screen in a second display format, in which the plurality of first contents are displayed in a list and where the plurality of first contents are arranged in a display order according to the attribute information;
• and
• a presenting unit configured to present, in a case where the screen in the first display format is switched to the screen in the second display format by the switching unit, the list of the plurality of first contents such that a content in the list belonging to a group corresponding to a content of interest among the second contents displayed in the first display format before execution of the switch, is displayed to be distinguishable from other content in the list.
