INFORMATION SERVICE SYSTEM AND BROADCAST RECEIVING SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a user with information by assuming the information that the user desires. SOLUTION: An access history means 4 manages the degree of interest in each classification by every user. A user identification determining means determines the user and an information selection inputting means receives a specification of information to use. An interest information selection means 5 reads the specified information from an information source 6, and displays it on a monitor 8 via an editing means. A by-user access information classification means 3 determines a classification to which the specified information belongs and transmits the determined classification and a determined user to an access history managing means. The access history means 4 increases the degree of interest of the determined user about the transmitted classification. Then, when the information selection inputting means receives the specification of an automatic mode, the access history means 4 transmits the classification in which the degree of the user's interest is set highest to the interest information selecting means 5. The interest information selecting means 5 reads the information belonging to the transmitted classification from the information source 6 and displays it on the monitor 8 via the editing means.
