Abstract

To provide an information provision system capable of improving a users operability in obtaining a list of desired information. A designated position obtaining unit (50) obtains a position in a screen designated by the user. In the case where the user designates a position in the screen and thereafter moving the designated position to thereby input a trace, a trace obtaining unit (51) obtains the trace input by the user. A character string extraction unit (52) extracts a character string from content shown in the screen, based on the position obtained by the designated position obtaining unit (50) or the trace obtained by the trace obtaining unit (51). A list obtaining unit (53) obtains a list of information, based on the character string extracted by the character string extraction unit (52) and the trace obtained by the trace obtaining unit (51). A display control unit (54) displays a list screen showing a list of information obtained by the list obtaining unit (53) on a display unit.
