The text data selection unit 230 can determine text data with reference to, for example, an extension of post information. As described above, the post information is a mixture of text data and non-text data in time series. Therefore, the text data selection unit 230 adds the non-text data selected by the non-text data selection unit 220 to the non-text data. As related data, at least text data posted before the non-text data is selected. As a more preferable example, the text data selection unit 230 selects text data posted within a certain time before the posting time of the selected non-text data (selection condition 1), and the posting of the selected non-text data. Select text data included in post information that does not exceed a certain number (selection condition 2), select only the first text data posted immediately before the selected non-text data (selection condition 3), etc. Can be executed. Regarding the selection condition 1, the certain time may be set in advance, or may be changed by the user. Similarly, regarding the selection condition 2, the range of the posted information to be selected may be set by the user. When only the text data closest to the selected non-text data is selected as in the selection condition 3, the number of text data to be selected is reduced, and the selection process can be executed at a high speed. The hit rate of being text data related to non-text data decreases. Information attached to the text data selected by the text data selection unit 230, for example, a post ID for identifying post information of text data, a post time, a poster, a post capacity, and the like are provided to the data association unit 240.
