1. An information processing device, comprising:
- a genre word table having a plurality of genres and a plurality of genre feature words indicating features of the plurality of genres, wherein each genre is associated with a predetermined group of genre feature words; and
one or more processor configured toextract genre feature words from program information of a plurality of programs included in a predetermined broadcast period of a channel, and classifying the extracted genre feature words based on programs and genres, the genre feature words being extracted at least from a program title, the name of a channel, and a program summary included in the program information of programs on channels available for selection during a predetermined time period;
identify the channel by genre based on the genre feature words extracted from the program information;
acquire a command from a remote controller that indicates an operation of a program by a user;
assign a value to a respective genre feature word based on an operation history of a program whose program information is used to extract that respective genre feature word and calculating a total value of all genre feature words extracted from a respective channel as a user'"'"'s degree of preference of the respective channel,wherein the operation history of a program includes displaying, recording, dubbing and erasing of the program, and a higher value is assigned to a genre feature word extracted from a displayed program than an erased program;
the one or more processors being further configured to display channels corresponding to the plurality of genres.
