2. An information communication system comprising:
-
a first device having a first storage medium built therein or insertable thereinto and removable therefrom; and a second device having a second storage medium built therein or insertable thereinto and removable therefrom and adapted to transmit content data to at least the first device, the second device including first communication means for communicating with the first device, second communication means for transmitting identification information about content data stored in the second storage medium to an external server, and automatically receiving from the external server additional information about the content data that has been found in the external server on the basis of the identification information, editing means for causing display means to display the additional information received from the external server by the second communication means, which matches an input search condition, and registering in a program list content data stored in the second storage medium that corresponds to the additional information displayed by the display means, and control means for controlling the first communication means to transfer the content data registered in the program list to the first device when a connection with the first device is detected via the first communication means. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. An information communication method executed between a first device having a first storage medium built therein or insertable thereinto and removable therefrom and the second device having a second storage medium built therein or insertable thereinto and removable therefrom, comprising:
-
a step of communication of transmitting identification information about content data stored in the second storage medium to an external server, and automatically receiving from the external server additional information about the content data that has been found in the external server on the basis of the identification information; a step of display of causing display means to display additional information that matches an input search condition within additional information about the content data stored in the second storage medium; a step of editing of registering in a program list content data stored in the second storage medium that corresponds to the additional information displayed by the display means; and a step of control of, when a connection with the first device is detected in the second device, controlling communication means of the second device to transfer the content data registered in the program list to the first device.
