The acquisition unit acquires the user identification information and program-specifying information that specifies a broadcast program. The controller specifies the access information on the association information from the user identification information. Then, the controller causes the program processing apparatus to perform processing regarding the broadcast program specified by the program-specifying information acquired by the acquisition unit by using the access information.

  • Patent number: 8660405
    Abstract: The possibility that one who is not accustomed with manipulation may cause inadvertent alteration or deletion by using an easy-remote control is reduced. A data processing apparatus includes a reception section for distinguishably receiving a first remote control signal sent from a first remote control and a second remote control signal sent from a second remote control; a processor for generating image data representing a list of contents by using, from a storage medium on which content-related information is recorded, information being read from the storage medium, such that image data representing a different list of contents is generated depending on whether the first remote control signal is received or the second remote control signal is received; and an output section for outputting the image data representing the list of contents.
