First Claim
1. A program recommendation device comprising:
- a search term receiver which is configured to receive a search term designated by a user;
a partial match searcher which is configured to search an electronic program list for at least one program having program information which includes at least one word or one phrase which at least partially matches the received search term, and to output a partial match search result set based on a result of the search;
a language analyzer which is configured to perform a language analyzing process with respect to program information of each of the at least one program included in the partial match search result set and to output an analyzed search result set; and
an exact match searcher which is configured to search the analyzed search result set for at least one program having program information which includes at least one word or one phrase which exactly matches the received search term, and to output an exact match search result set based on a result of the search,wherein the at least one program included in the exact match search result set is displayed on a display as a recommended program.

Abstract
The program recommendation device includes a search term receiver that receives at least one search term designated by a user, a partial match searcher that searches an electronic program list for programs having program information with words and phrases partially matching the search term designated by the user and outputs a partial match search result set, a language analyzer that performs a language analyzing process on the program information of each of the programs contained in the partial match search result set and outputs an analyzed search result set, an exact match searcher that searches the analyzed program information contained in the analyzed search result set for programs with words and phrases exactly matching the search term designated by the user and outputs an exact match search result set. A recommended program display displays programs contained in the exact match search result set as recommended programs.

12. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program recommendation program which is usable in a program recommendation device which comprises a program searcher which is configured to search an electronic program list for at least one program having program information which at least partially matches a received search term based on the search term and to output a search result set comprising at least one program, and a recommended program display which is configured to display at least one program included in the search result set which is output from the program searcher as a recommended program,
wherein the program recommendation program is executable by a computer for implementing respective functions of each of the program searcher and the recommended program display, wherein the program searcher comprises a search term receiver which is configured to receive a search term designated by a user, a partial match searcher which is configured to search an electronic program list for at least one program having program information which includes at least one word or one phrase which at least partially matches the received search term, a language analyzer which is configured to perform a language analyzing process with respect to the program information of the at least one program searched by the partial match searcher, and an exact match searcher which is configured to search the program information analyzed by the language analyzer for at least one program having program information which includes at least one word or one phrase which exactly matches the received search term, and wherein the recommended program display is further configured to display at least one program included in an exact match search result set output from the exact match searcher as a recommended program.
