[0060]
 Incidentally, certification unit 310, the data stored in the storage unit 306, and the acquired learned information may be determined whether have relevance. Specifically, discriminating section 310 compares the data that the user is already stored in the storage unit 306 as learning information learned, and the newly acquired learned information. For example, if a user is reading a book A previously, the contents of the A is stored in the storage unit 306 as learning data the user has already learned. On the other hand, the learning information newly acquired may be learned information based on the B. Is this case, certification unit 310, a learning information newly obtained (the content of the B), are relevant to the learning information that the user has already learned stored in the storage unit 306 (the contents of the A) it may determine whether.
[0061]
 Discriminating section 310 in S106, if the learning information obtained is determined to be relevant to a predetermined topic, the process proceeds to S108. In S108, certification unit 310, learning information obtained determines whether a novelty for a given topic. For example, discriminating section 310, on the basis of the data stored in the storage unit 306, a learning information acquired determines whether a novelty for a given topic. In other words, the user, whether to learn the new content is determined for a given topic.
[0062]
 Specifically, discriminating section 310 compares the data that the user is already stored in the storage unit 306 as learning information learned, and the newly acquired learned information. For example, if a user is reading already up to 30 pages of the book 100 pages, content from one page to 30 pages is stored in the storage unit 306 as learning data the user has already learned. The discriminating section 310 compares the learning information newly obtained (the content of page 31), and a learning information that the user has already learned stored in the storage unit 306 (content from one page to 30 pages) by learning information newly acquired, it determines whether it has a novelty for a given topic.
[0063]
 In S108, discriminating section 310, if the learning information obtained is determined to be novel for a given topic, the process proceeds to S110. In S110, certification unit 310, learning information obtained it is, determines whether a predetermined condition is satisfied. Wherein the predetermined condition may simply be to have a relevance and novelty for a given topic. The predetermined condition is, if the relevance and novelty is represented by a numerical value calculated by a predetermined algorithm, the total value of the relevance and novelty may be not less than a predetermined threshold value. The predetermined condition may be that the learning by the user is performed for a predetermined time. As a result, even when the user is simply such as skipping a book flipping through the pages, that the unit is certified it can be prevented. The predetermined condition is the number of scores of the test for measuring the intelligibility of users may be that a predetermined number or more. Thus, even if the user does not understand, is prevented units are certified.
[0064]
 In S110, discriminating section 310, if the learning information obtained is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to S112. In S112, certification unit 310 certifies micro learning unit to the user. The discriminating section 310 stores information about the approved micro-learning unit in the storage unit 306. Here, the information on the micro-learning unit, information about the learning time for acquiring the micro learning units may include information about the number of units authorized micro-learning unit.

[0068]
 In S202, discriminating section 310 determines a plurality of micro-learning unit whether certified. Discriminating section 310 determines that the plurality of micro-learning unit certified, the process proceeds to S204. In S204, discriminating section 310 determines whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied.
[0069]
 Here, the predetermined condition may be a condition regarding the number of units authorized micro-learning unit. For example, the predetermined condition may be that micro-learning unit is a predetermined number authorized.
[0070]
 The predetermined condition may be a condition based on a micro-learning units based on micro-learning unit and / or informal training information based on formal learning information. For example, the predetermined condition, the micro-learning unit may be that it has been predetermined number certification based on formal learning information. Further, the predetermined condition, the micro-learning unit may be that it has been predetermined number certification based on informal learning information. The predetermined condition is micro-learning unit predetermined number certification based on formal training information, may micro learning units based on informal learning information also even that has been predetermined number authorized. Thus, micro-learning units based on formal or informal training information, by used to determine the predetermined condition, it is possible to recognition of units based on a variety of learning information.
[0071]
 For example, when a predetermined condition is based on the number of units of micro learning units based on formal learning information, by the quality of the learning information is ensured, credibility of the certified is comprehensive learning unit is improved. Further, when a predetermined condition is based on the number of units of micro learning units based on informal learning information, it is possible to evaluate the autonomy of a user. Further, when a predetermined condition is based on the number of units of micro learning units based on micro learning units and informal learning information based on formal learning information, it is compensated by the learning performing learning that takes place at schools user private it can.
[0072]
 Further, in S204, the predetermined condition may be determined based on the understanding of the user.
