Content notification device, notification method, program

In step S1, the process by which, such as a home button is pressed is started. Here, to detect the presence or absence of the operation of the program detailed search (step S2), and detects (YES), program detailed search screen is displayed in step S3. Here, the process proceeds to step S4, wherein when it is detected that (category) search operation button is pressed (YES), in step S5, and displays the search condition screen. In step S6 in this screen, when the search condition is selected (YES), at step S7, stores the selected category search condition memory. Then, in step S8, upon detecting an operation signal indicating to search result display (YES), in step S9, performs search result display as shown in FIG. 3C (program table list). Here, when moving the cursor among categories being displayed, the program retrieved in the category corresponding to the cursor is listed. Then, as shown in step S10, the movement of the cursor on the program list side is detected (YES), it moves to step S11. No movement of the cursor on the program table list side (NO), it is possible to enter a new search condition in step S15 by causing transition to a screen of the category search condition input, processing returns to step S7. In step S11, top to display the program list can give focus to the program that can be further move the focus position. In step S12, pressing the enter button (YES), it can be displayed on the display unit focused program in step S13. Thus, the process is terminated (end The: step S14). Thereby simplifying the continuous search operation of the content search, such as a program, it is possible to simplify further the search results.
