Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a contents replay system capable of replaying desired contents at a specified place. The contents replay system includes a registration unit which registers location information indicating a specific location and contents information indicating contents to be replayed at the specific location designated by a user, a detection unit which detects that the contents replay system is currently located at the specific location and a replay unit which replay the contents at the specific location detected by the detection unit.

Claims

1. A contents replay system comprising:

a registration unit which registers location information indicating a specific location and contents information indicating contents to be replayed at said specific location, designated by a user;

a detection unit which detects that said contents replay system is currently located at said specific location; and

a replay unit which replays said contents at said specific location detected by said detection unit.

2. A contents replay system comprising:

a network;

a terminal connected to said network, said terminal comprising,

a first communication unit which transmits contents information indicating contents to be replayed at a specific location to said network,

a detection unit which detects that said contents replay system is currently located at said specific location, and

a replay unit which replays contents indicated by said contents information at said specific location; and

a server connected to said network, said server comprising

a storing unit which stores said contents, and

a second communication unit which transmits said contents to said terminal via said network in response to a request of said terminal.

3. The contents replay system claimed in claim 2,

wherein said server transmits said contents to said terminal, before said detection unit detects said specific location.

4. The contents replay system claimed in claim 2,

wherein said server transmits said contents to said terminal, when said detection unit detects said specific location.

5. A contents replay system comprising:

a network;

a first terminal connected to said network, which comprises a first communication unit for transmitting location information indicating a specific location and contents information indicating contents to be replayed at said specific location to said network;

a server connected to said network, said server comprising,

a registration unit which registers said location information and said contents information transmitted from said first terminal,

a storing unit which stores said contents, and

a second communication unit which transmits said location information and said contents to said network;

a second terminal connected to said network, said second terminal comprising,

a third communication unit which receives said location information and said contents transmitted from said server via said network,

a detection unit which detects that said contents replay system is currently located at said specific location based on said location information, and

a replay unit which replays said contents at said specific location.

6. The contents replay system claimed in claim 5,

wherein said server transmits said contents to said second terminal, before said detection unit detects said specific location.

7. The contents replay system claimed in claim 5,

wherein said server transmits said contents to said second terminal, when said detection unit detects said specific location.

8. A contents replay system comprising:

a network;

a first terminal connected to said network, which comprises a registration unit for registering location information indicating a specific location and contents information indicating contents to be replayed at said specific location in a removable storage unit;

a server connected to said network, said server comprising,

a storing unit, which stores said contents, and

a first communication unit, which transmits said contents to said network;

a second terminal connected to said network, said server comprising,

a second communication unit which receives said contents transmitted from said server via said network,

a detection unit which detects that said contents replay system is currently located at said specific location based on said location information stored in said removable storage unit, and

a replay unit which replays said contents transmitted from said server via said network at said specific location.

9. The contents replay system claimed in claim 8,

wherein said server transmits said contents to said second terminal, when said detection unit detects said specific location.

10. A contents replay system comprising:

a network;

a server connected to said network, said server comprising,

a storing unit which stores contents, and

a first communication unit which transmits said contents to said network;

a first terminal connected to said network, said first terminal comprising,

a second communication unit which requests said server to transmit said contents and receives said contents from said server via said network,

a registration unit for registering location information indicating a specific location and said contents in a removable storage unit;

a second terminal connected to said network, said second terminal comprising,

a detection unit which detects that said contents replay system is currently located at said specific location based on said location information stored in said removable storage unit, and

a replay unit which replays said contents stored in said removable storage unit at said specific location.
