ABSTRACT:
A name and a URL of a specific link destination are stored in a specific link destination information storing section. A microcomputer changes a process to be performed on a link destination depending on whether or not a link destination targeted for the process is a specific link destination. The specific link destination is highlighted when displaying link destinations as icons, and the specific link destination is displayed first when displaying a list of the link destinations. An access history about the specific link destination is stored in an access history storing section. An information server collects the access history from a television receiver and counts the number of accesses to the specific link destination. When the advertisement site is selected as the specific link destination, the number of accesses to the specific link destination is used as an index for indicating an advertising effect.
