INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

[Object] When setting is made relating to a location where notification of a pre-set content to a communication terminal should be performed, to assist input of the setting. [Means to Achieve the Object] In an information-providing system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when a communication terminal transmits request information for requesting a setting input screen, an information-processing device recognizes character information contained in the request information, and, by referring to history information, identifies location information corresponding to character information similar to the recognized character information. The location information identified by the information-processing device is received by the communication terminal, and this information is reflected on a setting input screen displayed on the communication terminal. As a result, when setting of a location where acquisition of notification information is desired is made using the communication terminal, a location in accordance with past history is displayed on the setting input screen, and thus, the user does not have to perform input for specifying a location, such input tending to be cumbersome, and effort and time can be reduced.
