Information processing device, information processing method and program

An information processing method of an information processing device which shares program information which specifies a program with other devices connected through a network, comprising the steps of:

• receiving the program information the accumulation of which is allocated to the information processing device based on a feature amount extracted from the program;
• storing the program information the accumulation of which is allocated to the information processing device in a program information storage unit for storing the program information;
• receiving a search request which requests program information specifying a program,
• wherein keywords have been extracted as the feature amount from the program information, and
• wherein an exponent indicating a degree of the extracted feature amount has been extracted,
• wherein the search request includes an exponent indicating a degree of the feature amount requested, allowing transmission of program information matching the keyword and having a higher value of the degree of the feature amount than the requested degree of the feature amount;
• determining whether the program information requested by the search request is stored in the program information storage unit or not, and
• transmitting program information requested by the search request to another device which has transmitted the search request when it is determined that program information requested by the search request is stored in the program information storage unit.

A non-transitory computer readable medium, which contains a program allowing a computer to execute information processing of an information processing device which shares program information which specifies a program with other devices connected through a network, comprising the steps of:

• receiving the program information the accumulation of which is allocated to the information processing device based on a feature amount extracted from the program;
• storing the program information the accumulation of which is allocated to the information processing device in a program information storage unit for storing the program information;
• receiving a search request which requests program information specifying a program,
• wherein keywords have been extracted as the feature amount from the program information, and
• wherein an exponent indictating a degree of the extracted feature amount has been extratced,
• wherein the search request includes an exponent indicating a degree of the feature amount requested, allowing transmission of program information matching the keyword and having a higher value of the degree of the feature amount than the requested degree of the feature amount;
• determining whether the program information requested by the search request is stored in the program information storage unit or not, and
• transmitting program information requested by the search request to another device which has transmitted the search request when it is determined that program information requested by the search request is stored in the program information storage unit.

An information processing device which shares program information specifying a program with other devices connected through a network, comprising:

• a program information receiving unit configured to receive the program information the accumulation of which is allocated to the information processing device based on a feature amount extracted from the program;
• a program information storage unit configured to store the program information received by the program information receiving unit;
• a search request receiving unit configured to receive a search request which requests program information specifying a program,
• wherein keywords have been extracted as the feature amount from the program information,
• wherein an exponent indicating a degree of the extracted feature amount has been extracted, and
• wherein the search request includes an exponent indicating a degree of the feature amount requested, allowing transmission of program information matching the keyword and having a higher value of the degree of the feature amount than the requested degree of the feature amount;
• a determination unit configured to determine whether the program information requested by the search request received by the search request receiving unit is stored in the program information storage unit or not;
• and
• a transmission unit configured to transmit program information requested by the search request to another device which has transmitted the search request when it is determined by the determination unit that program information requested by the search request is stored in the program information storage unit.
