1. A signal processing apparatus, comprising:
- a processing unit adapted to execute a plurality of processes;
an assigning unit adapted to automatically assign each process with a unique code used for executing each of the plurality of processes;
a control unit adapted to control said processing unit to execute the plurality of processes in accordance with the code assigned by said assigning unit;
an input unit adapted to input program data and program information of the program data; and
a searching unit adapted to search the program information input by said input unit in accordance with a predetermined search condition, wherein said searching unit adds a search point if a program matches a search condition and selects a program having a high search point; and
wherein the search condition includes a condition that the search point lowers more as the number of assignment times of the code by said assigning unit for the plurality of processes is larger.
