Abstract: An automatic order processing system automatically places an order for a commodity introduced in a broadcast program so as to prevent the commodity from becoming out of stock in a store. The system has a database for registering both a broadcast program data before broadcast and an audience rating data, and a data processor for retrieving the database to extract the commodity introduced in a broadcast program having high audience rating so as to place an order for the commodity automatically. Because the commodity introduced in the broadcast program is extracted by analyzing the program data to perform order processing prior to the program broadcast, the commodity can be provided sufficiently in the store even after the program broadcast.
