A method for receiving information, wherein contents information including at least any of images, speech, text and data is transmitted along with an identifier and a key word for indicating related information scheduled to be transmitted at a time delay from said contents information, and the identifier identifying that the key word is also being transmitted, said method comprising the steps of:

• receiving said contents information;
• receiving said key word and said identifier;
• judging whether the identifier is included in the received information or not;
• separating the first contents information from the key word, after judging that the identifier is included in the received information;
• and
• displaying side-by-side said contents information and said key word.
