When the monitor 110 is in the vertical direction, that is, when the monitor 110 is in a vertically long arrangement, the viewing status data generation unit 162 performs the up movement key, the down movement key, and the confirmation after the execution of the one segment broadcast viewing function is started. Each time the key is pressed, key logger information that can discriminate the pressed up key, down key, and confirm key is input. Further, the viewing status data generation unit 162 generates data broadcast contact information that is information in which the input keylogger information is arranged in the input order.

  In addition, the viewing status data generation unit 162 acquires the time when the one-seg application activation information is input from a clock (not shown) built in the mobile phone 10 and identifies it as the viewing start time. Also, the viewing status data generation unit 162 acquires the time when the one-seg application end information is input and the time when the incoming call detection result is input from the clock built in the mobile phone 10 and identifies it as the viewing end time.

  In addition, the viewing status data generation unit 162 specifies the position information of the mobile phone 10 input from the position information detection unit 160 simultaneously with the input of the one-segment application end information as the position information at the end of viewing. It should be noted that the viewing status data generation unit 162 may call the mobile phone 10 by telephone or e-mail from the start of execution of the one-segment broadcast viewing function to the end of execution, or from the start of execution of the one-segment broadcast viewing function. Until there is a response operation for the incoming call, the position information of the mobile phone 10 input from the position information detection unit 160 may be specified as the position information at the time of viewing the one-segment broadcast.
