Abstract
A control terminal device 100 stores service applications and advertising applications in a storage unit 111. Each service application corresponds to one or more of the advertising applications. Each service application is also associated with a different one of home appliances 103 to 106. A control unit 112 of the control terminal device 100 causes the display device 101 to display the service applications corresponding to the respective home appliances. The control unit 112 also detects one advertising application corresponding to the service application that the user has focused on and clicked on by operating the remote control, by referring to the content stored in the storage unit 111. Then, the control unit 112 causes the display device 101 to output audio of an audio file corresponding to the detected advertising application.
