1. A portable apparatus comprising:
- an operation portion configured to generate operation information in response to user inputs;
a storage controller configured to control storing the operation information in a storage unit;
a controller configured to control a transmission of the operation information stored in said storage unit to a server apparatus through a network device when the portable apparatus is connected to the network device and to control reception of data from the server apparatus acquired in response to the transmitted operation information, the received data including character data and audio data, when the operation information is request information;
a display device configured to display the received character data; and
an audio output configured to output the audio data, whereinthe audio data is audio of the character data being read aloud,the controller is configured to mute the audio output in response to first audio operation information generated by said operation portion such that the character data is displayed by the display device and the audio data is not processed,the controller is configured to cancel the muting in response to second audio operation information, andthe first audio operation information is the same as the second audio operation information.

Abstract
The invention relates to an information distributing system for distributing data to at least one information processing terminal device from an information center storing data. The information distributing system of the invention is structured such that character data, audio data, and both the character data and the audio data are selectively downloaded from the information center to the information processing terminal device on the basis of request information from the information processing terminal device, so that a user makes selection according to a congested state of communication, and effective information collection becomes possible.
