Information processing device, information processing method, and information processing system

An information processing method comprising the steps of:

• receiving question information that is transmitted from a server and represents a question about a preference of a user;
• generating user-side answer information representing an answer of the user to the question and storing the user-side answer information in an accumulator in which the question information is stored;
• and
• acquiring content distributed from the server by performing matching between the user-side answer information and provider-side answer information that is transmitted from the server and represents an answer set to the question by a provider that provides the content, wherein
• at least readout or update of the question information and/or the user-side answer information stored in the accumulator is performed.

An information processing system that is a transmitting/receiving system composed of a transmitting device that distributes content and a receiving device that acquires the content distributed from the transmitting device, wherein

• the transmitting device includes
• question generating means for generating question information that is information representing a question about a preference of a user of the receiving device, and
• transmitting means for transmitting, to the receiving device, the question information and provider-side answer information representing an answer set to the question by a provider that provides the content,
• the receiving device includes
• a receiving section that receives the question information transmitted from the transmitting device,
• a processing executing section that generates user-side answer information representing an answer of the user to the question and stores the user-side answer information in an accumulator in which the question information is stored, and
• a matching section that acquires the content distributed from the transmitting device by performing matching between the user-side answer information and the provider-side answer information transmitted from the transmitting device, and
• the processing executing section performs at least readout or update of the question information and/or the user-side answer information stored in the accumulator.
