In addition, since the content bookmarked by the terminal device 200 is the content already known to the user, the determination unit 314 may lower the priority of recommendation.
　決定部３１４は、今後視聴可能であり、推奨可能なコンテンツの情報（「コンテンツ情報」ともよぶ）を参照して推奨するコンテンツを決定することができる。コンテンツ情報は、コンテンツのタイトル、説明文、出演者等の情報を含み、記憶部３３０に格納されている。 The determination unit 314 can determine the recommended content with reference to information (also referred to as “content information”) that can be viewed in the future and recommended. The content information includes information such as a content title, an explanatory note, a cast, and the like, and is stored in the storage unit 330.

The recommendation screen includes an object for each content for starting display of each content. The recommendation screen generation unit 316 can generate a recommendation screen so that objects related to content are arranged according to the order of recommendation determined by the determination unit 314 among the objects for each content.
　決定部３１４は、例えば、朝５時になると、推奨するコンテンツを決定し、推奨画面生成部３１６が推奨画面を生成してもよい。すなわち、推奨画面は、２４時間、同じ画面であってもよい。この場合、放送済の放送コンテンツを示す情報は、推奨画面から除くように推奨画面生成部３１６は、推奨画面を生成する。 For example, when it is 5 o'clock in the morning, the determination unit 314 may determine the content to be recommended, and the recommendation screen generation unit 316 may generate a recommendation screen. That is, the recommendation screen may be the same screen for 24 hours. In this case, the recommendation screen generation unit 316 generates a recommendation screen so that information indicating broadcast content that has already been broadcast is excluded from the recommendation screen.
　送信制御部３１８は、決定したコンテンツに関する推奨情報を、通信部３２０を介して端末装置２００に送信する。より具体的には、送信制御部３１８は、推奨画面生成部３１６が生成した推奨画面の情報を、通信部３２０、及びネットワーク２を介して端末装置２００に送信する。 The transmission control unit 318 transmits the recommendation information on the determined content to the terminal device 200 via the communication unit 320. More specifically, the transmission control unit 318 transmits the information on the recommendation screen generated by the recommendation screen generation unit 316 to the terminal device 200 via the communication unit 320 and the network 2.

The display control unit 216 may activate the content recommendation application when the user touches an object indicating the content recommendation application displayed on the display unit 240. In addition, the display control unit 216 may activate the content recommendation application when the terminal device 200 is in the range of the wireless LAN.
　表示制御部２１６は、情報処理装置３００から取得した推奨画面を示す情報に応じて推奨画面２４４を表示させる。表示制御部２１６は、ユーザのスライド操作に応じて、推奨画面をスクロールさせ、決定部３１４の決定順にコンテンツを示す情報を表示させることができる。表示制御部２１６は、全てのコンテンツを示す情報を表示させると、また、最も推奨するコンテンツから順にコンテンツを示す情報を表示させることができる。または、全てのコンテンツを示す情報を表示させると、取得部２１２は、推奨画面を示す情報を新たに取得することができる。なお、推奨画面に含めることのできるコンテンツの数に上限はない。 The display control unit 216 displays the recommendation screen 244 in accordance with the information indicating the recommendation screen acquired from the information processing device 300. The display control unit 216 can scroll the recommendation screen according to the slide operation of the user, and can display information indicating the content in the order of determination of the determination unit 314. The display control unit 216 can display the information indicating the content in order from the most recommended content when the information indicating the all content is displayed. Alternatively, when information indicating all content is displayed, the acquisition unit 212 can newly acquire information indicating a recommendation screen. There is no upper limit on the number of contents that can be included in the recommendation screen.
　表示制御部２１６は、例えば、コンテンツ推奨アプリケーションが起動している時間が１時間以内の場合は、同じ推奨画面を維持し、１時間が経過すると、未視聴のコンテンツを示す情報から表示させることができる。 The display control unit 216 can, for example, maintain the same recommendation screen when the content recommendation application has been activated for one hour or less, and display the information indicating the unviewed content after one hour has passed. it can.
　表示制御部２１６は、端末装置２００が無線ＬＡＮの圏内にある場合にリモコン機能起動ボタン２４６を表示させる。ユーザがリモコン機能起動ボタン２４６をタップすると、表示制御部２１６は、表示部２４０に不図示のリモコン画面を表示させる。表示制御部２１６は、リモコン画面として、例えば、リモコンボタンとして機能するオブジェクトを表示部２４０に並べる。 The display control unit 216 causes the remote control function activation button 246 to be displayed when the terminal device 200 is within the wireless LAN range. When the user taps the remote control function activation button 246, the display control unit 216 causes the display unit 240 to display a remote control screen (not shown). The display control unit 216 arranges, for example, an object functioning as a remote control button on the display unit 240 as a remote control screen.
