Abstract

A display device includes: a storage unit, a reception unit, a comparison unit and a control unit. The storage unit stores preregistered position information. The reception unit receives position information sent from a terminal device. The comparison unit compares the received position information with the stored position information. The control unit displays display information on a display unit on the basis of a result of the comparison made by the comparison unit.

Claims

1. A display device comprising:

a storage unit which stores preregistered position information;

a reception unit which receives position information sent from a terminal device;

a comparison unit which compares the received position information with the stored position information; and

a control unit which displays display information on a display unit on the basis of a result of the comparison made by the comparison unit.

2. The display device according to claim 1, wherein

the storage unit stores position information corresponding to an installation site of the display unit as the preregistered position information, and

the comparison unit determines that the received position information and the stored position information are relevant to each other when the result of the comparison indicates that the received position information and the stored position information are similar to each other.

3. The display device according to claim 2, wherein the storage unit stores the position information sent from a terminal device at the installation site of the display unit as the preregistered position information.

4. The display device according to claim 2, wherein when the comparison unit determines that the received position information and the stored position information are relevant to each other, the control unit (i) receives the display information sent from the terminal device which has sent the position information received by the reception unit and (ii) displays the received display information on the display unit.

5. The display device according to claim 3, wherein when the comparison unit determines that the received position information and the stored position information are relevant to each other, the control unit (i) receives the display information sent from the terminal device which has sent the position information received by the reception unit and (ii) displays the received display information on the display unit.

6. A display system comprising a terminal device and a display device connected to each other through a network,

the terminal device including:

an obtaining unit which obtains position information indicating a current position of the terminal device; and

the display device including;

a storage unit which stores preregistered position information;

a reception unit which receives position information sent from the terminal device;

a comparison unit which compares the received position information with the stored position information; and

a control unit which displays display information on a display unit on the basis of a result of the comparison made by the comparison unit.

7. A storage medium which makes a computer of a display device function as:

a reception unit which receives position information sent from a terminal device;

a comparison unit which compares the received position information with preregistered position information stored by a storage unit; and

a control unit which displays display information on a display unit on the basis of a result of the comparison made by the comparison unit.
