Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Even if times of accumulation of a plurality of contents overlap, each of the contents can be accumulated, and accumulation of the contents can be completed in time for the time and date when the contents are made public. A non-volatile storage portion ( 23 ) stores information regarding times of publication of a plurality of contents. When candidate times for the times of accumulation of the plurality of contents overlap, an accumulation time setting portion ( 24 b ) determines the order of the times of publication among the plurality of contents on the basis of the information regarding the times of publication stored in the non-volatile storage portion ( 23 ), and sets the time of accumulation for each content on the basis of the assessment result. A content accumulation portion ( 24 c ) accumulates the contents on the basis of the times of accumulation set by the accumulation time setting portion ( 24 b ).
