[motion]
Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. First, when registering voice data (FIG. 7), the registered user operates the first user terminal 200a at a position desired by the user, specifies the voice ID of the voice data to be registered, and provides the voice data provision conditions. Is specified. The specifying unit 201a of the first user terminal 200a receives these operations (Step S11). The designation of the audio data is performed by, for example, selecting a desired one from the list of audio data by the registered user, or directly inputting the music title of the audio data by the user. The provision condition is also specified by, for example, selecting a desired condition from the list of provision conditions by the registered user, or directly inputting the contents of the provision condition by the user. For example, when a registered user wants to have a user of the same gender and the same gender listen to music related to the sea when he is on the coast, the attribute of such a user may be specified in the provision conditions. .

  Next, the notification unit 202a of the first user terminal 200a performs positioning to generate position information indicating the position of the first user terminal 200a (step S12), and the position information, the voice ID of the voice data, and the provision condition Is notified to the server device 100 together with the user ID of the registered user (step S13). The user ID of the registered user may be stored in advance in the storage unit 23a of the first user terminal 200a, or may be input to the first user terminal 200a when the user logs in to the audio reproduction system. Is also good.

  The first acquisition unit 101 of the server device 100 acquires the position information, the voice ID, the provision condition, and the user ID notified from the notification unit 202a of the first user terminal 200a. The storage unit 102 registers them in the voice registration table in a state where they are associated with each other as a registration position, a registered voice ID, a provision condition, and a registered user ID (step S14). At this time, the storage unit 102 registers the current date and time in the voice registration table as a registration time.

  Next, at the time of reproducing the audio data (FIG. 8), the reproducing user operates the second user terminal 200b at a position desired by the user, and instructs to reproduce the audio data. The instruction unit 201b of the second user terminal 200b receives this operation (Step S21). In response to this operation, the notification unit 202b of the second user terminal 200b performs positioning to generate position information indicating the position of the second user terminal 200b (Step S22), and stores this position information together with the user ID of the playback user. The server device 100 is notified (step S23). The user ID of the playback user may be stored in advance in the storage unit 23b of the second user terminal 200b, or may be the one input to the second user terminal 200b when the playback user logs in to the audio playback system. There may be.

  The second acquisition unit 103 of the server device 100 acquires the position information and the user ID notified from the notification unit 202b of the second user terminal 200b. The providing unit 104 of the server apparatus 100 compares the position indicated by the position information acquired by the second acquiring unit 103 with the registered position registered in the voice registration table, and compares the position acquired by the second acquiring unit 103 It is determined whether or not there is a registered voice ID stored in association with a registered position included in the range based on (step S24). In the example of FIG. 5, the providing unit 104 registers the voice registration within a range of, for example, a radius of 100 m (threshold) around the position indicated by the position information (“N0E0”) acquired by the second acquiring unit 103. If any of a plurality of registered positions registered in the table is included, it is determined that there is a registered voice ID stored in association with the registered position, and the registered voice ID is specified. Here, it is assumed that the registered position “N2E2” is included within a range of a radius of 100 m around the position indicated by the position information “N0E0”, and the registered voice ID “M000002” is specified.

  Then, the providing unit 104 refers to the provision condition associated with the registration position in the voice registration table, and determines whether or not the provision condition is satisfied (step S25). For example, if the user ID of the reproduction user acquired by the second acquisition unit 203 before “yyyy: mm: dd: hh: mm21” (time) elapses is “U0002”, the user management table of FIG. Since the user corresponding to the user ID “U0002” is interested in “female” (sex), “23 years old” (age), and “sea” (interest), the registered user ID “U0012” in FIG. "10-25 years old" (age), "female" (sex), "yyyy: mm: dd: hh: mm21" (time) and "natural" (interest), which are the provision conditions of the registered voice ID "M000002" Matches.

  When the provision condition is satisfied, the providing unit 104 performs a process for providing the voice data of the registered voice ID specified in Step S24 to the second user terminal 200b (Step S26). The providing unit 104 transmits, to the second user terminal 200b, screen data in which, for example, an address at which audio data of a registered audio ID is stored in the audio DB in a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) format.

  In the second user terminal 200b, when the reproduction user selects a URL on this screen, the providing unit 104 of the server device 100 reads out audio data corresponding to the URL from the storage unit 13 and connects the network 900 to the second user terminal 200b. To send through. The reproduction unit 203b of the second user terminal 200b acquires the audio data, reproduces the audio data, and outputs the audio (Step S27). In this way, the reproducing user can listen to the voice registered by the registered user in the past at the position where the reproducing user is.

  In FIG. 9, “x” indicates a registration position, and a circular figure surrounding the registration position indicates a predetermined range (for example, a range with a radius of 100 m) from the registration position. In the example of FIG. 9, when the reproduction user P moves along the arrow M, as long as the provision condition is satisfied, the reproduction user P can listen to the voice registered by the registered user in the past at the positions AR005, AR004, and AR013.

  According to the embodiment described above, it is possible to realize sound reproduction according to positions among a plurality of users. A registered user can be interested in having another user listen to a desired sound at a desired position, while a reproducing user listens to a sound intentionally registered by another user at his own position. The registered user and the reproducing user can have a spiritual connection and relationship by sympathizing with each other through a voice while having a certain time, for example, having an interest.

[Modification]
The above-described embodiment can be modified as follows. Further, the following modifications may be implemented in combination with each other.
[Modification 1]
The designation of the registered position is not limited to the designation using a single position information, and the designation as a route including a plurality of position information is also possible. In this case, the first obtaining unit 101 of the server device 100 obtains a plurality of pieces of position information indicating a route along which the first user terminal 200a has moved, and the providing unit 104 determines that the position obtained by the second obtaining Providing processing is performed when it is included in the route. Further, the second obtaining unit 103 obtains a plurality of pieces of position information indicating a route to which the second user terminal 200b has moved, and the providing unit 104 determines that the plurality of pieces of position information indicate the route indicated by the plurality of pieces of position information obtained by the first obtaining unit 101. Alternatively, the providing process may be performed when the route indicated by the plurality of pieces of position information acquired by the second acquiring unit 103 has a predetermined degree of coincidence (for example, both routes are 50 m or more coincident).

[Modification 2]
The server device 100 may include a guide unit that provides guidance to the playback user to the registered position according to the positional relationship between the position of the playback user and the registered position. This guidance unit is realized by the control unit 11 and the communication unit 12 of the server device 100. For example, the guidance unit compares the position indicated by the position information acquired by the second acquisition unit 103 with the registered position registered in the voice registration table, and indicates the position information acquired by the second acquisition unit 103. When the distance from the position to the registered position is equal to or less than the threshold value, the distance and the direction to the registered position as viewed from the reproducing user are notified to the second user terminal 200b, and the second user terminal 200b transmits these to the voice or the Notify by display. At this time, the attribute (for example, music name or the like) of the registered voice that can be heard at the registered position may be notified by voice or display. Thereby, the reproducing user can know the place where the registered voice can be heard. Further, from the viewpoint of the registered user, it is possible to guide a large number of reproduction users to a place where the user can listen to the registered voice.

[Modification 3]
The providing unit 104 of the server device 100 obtains the determined plurality of registration positions from the plurality of registration positions stored in the storage unit 102 from the second user terminal 200b (that is, the plurality of registration positions determined as the reproduction users). When the user passes the registration position), information for giving a certain privilege to the reproduction user may be provided to the second user terminal 200b. The privilege here may be of any kind, and is, for example, value information that can be used as a substitute for money, audio data provided only to a limited number of users, or the like.

[Modification 4]
The providing unit 104 of the server device 100 converts the voice data according to a period from when the voice data is stored in the storage unit 102 to when a providing process for providing the voice data to the second user terminal 200b is performed. It may be changed. For example, the providing unit 104 outputs the voice of the voice data in accordance with a period from the registration time of the voice data to the time when the process of providing the voice data is performed (for example, every time the time period elapses 24 hours as an example of a threshold). The quality is degraded, or the volume parameter set in the audio data is reduced. As a result, the playback user can intuitively feel the period since the audio data was registered.

[Modification 5]
The providing unit 104 of the server device 100 may perform a providing process for providing the second user terminal 200b with audio data whose volume is controlled. For example, the providing unit 104 may provide a sound of a volume corresponding to the distance between the position of the reproduction user and the registered position to the reproduction user. Specifically, in a range of a radius of 100 m from the registered position of “x” shown in FIG. 9, as the position of second user terminal 200 b is closer to the registered position, the volume parameter included in the audio data is increased. Further, for example, the providing unit 104 may provide the playback user with a sound having a volume corresponding to the degree of association between the attribute of the playback user and the provision condition associated with the audio data. Specifically, the providing unit 104 reads out the provision condition in the voice registration table relating to interest and the attribute group of the reproduction user in the user management table, and compares the provision condition (interest) with the attribute of the reproduction user. Then, the degree of mutual relevance is calculated, and the volume of audio data is controlled based on the magnitude of the degree of relevance. For example, the providing unit 104 sets the volume parameter included in the audio data such that the volume is increased when the degree of association is high, and the volume is decreased when the degree of association is low.

[Modification 6]
The provision conditions relating to the reproduction user are not limited to the age, gender, and interest, and may be any conditions that limit the reproduction user. For example, the reproduction user's biometric information may be included in the provision conditions. Assuming that the gene information is the provision condition, if the gene of the descendant of the registered user (including the descendant that has not been born at the time of registration) has a similarity with the gene included in the provision condition equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold, the descendant is It becomes possible to provide voice as a reproduction user. That is, the first acquisition unit 101 acquires the biometric information of the registered user using the first user terminal 200a as the provision condition, and the second acquisition unit 103 acquires the biometric information of the reproduction user using the second user terminal 200b. The obtaining unit 104 performs the providing process according to the similarity between the biological information acquired by the first acquiring unit 101 and the biological information acquired by the second acquiring unit 103.
Here, the biological information is not limited to the gene, and may be any information such as an iris (pupil), a face, a palm vein, a fingerprint, a body odor, etc., as long as a human can be identified by characteristics of a living body. When the biometric information is an iris (pupil), face, palm vein, fingerprint, or the like, the biometric information can be acquired by an imaging function of a portable user terminal. Therefore, the similarity between the biometric information of the registered user and the biometric information of the reproduction user. May be set higher than the case of other biological information. It is not easy to set the input condition of a character string such as a password as a provision condition for a reproduction user who has no communication means because there is no direct human relationship with the registered user. The use of is convenient because such a problem is solved.

[Modification 7]
Although a circular range with a radius of 100 m, which is a threshold, from the registration position of “x” shown in FIG. 9 is set as the audio data reproducible area, the threshold and the shape of the audio data reproducible area are specified in the provision condition. You may do so.

[Modification 8]
In the embodiment, the position of the second user terminal 200b is measured and the measured position is used to determine whether the provision condition is satisfied. However, the position information acquired by the second acquisition unit 103 from the second user terminal 200b is: For example, position information based on a position specified by the user on a map displayed on the second user terminal 200b may be used. That is, it does not matter how the position information acquired by the second acquisition unit 103 from the second user terminal 200b is generated in the second user terminal 200b.
In the embodiment, the notification unit 202a of the first user terminal 200a performs positioning to generate position information indicating the position of the first user terminal 200a, and notifies the server device 100 of the position information. A user (registered user) using the first user terminal 200a determines an arbitrary position on the map displayed on the first user terminal 200a that is different from the position where the user is located (the position where the first user terminal 200a is located). The location information may be designated, and the position information may be notified to the server device 100.

[Modification 9]
The providing unit 104 includes, in addition to the voice data, data other than the voice related to the registered position and the voice data thereof (for example, text data or image data describing information related to the registered position, text data describing information related to the voice data, or the voice thereof). (Image data that causes data to be imaged) may be provided.

[Modification 10]
In the embodiment, the voice data is included in the voice database in advance, and the first user terminal 200a registers the position information and the voice ID of the voice data in the server device 100. If the voice data is not included in the voice database at the time of this registration, the first user terminal 200a transmits the voice data to the server device 100, and the server device 100 registers the voice data in the voice database, or Even if the first user terminal 200a notifies the server device 100 of the voice ID of the voice data, the server device 100 acquires voice data from a predetermined database server device based on the voice ID and registers the voice data in the voice database. Good.

[Modification 11]
In the embodiment, as the data size of the voice registration table and the voice data increases, the processing load of the server device 100 increases, and the storage capacity of the server device 100 may become tight due to huge data. Therefore, for each data of the voice registration table and the voice data, a LifeTime that specifies a valid time or a valid period is designated, and when the valid period or the valid period indicated by the LifeTime elapses, these data are deleted. May be performed. In this case, by charging the user of the first user terminal 200a, the valid period or the valid period indicated by the LifeTime may be extended. Furthermore, after the user of the second user terminal 200b who has listened to the reproduced audio data evaluates it (for example, if the user likes the reproduced audio, an evaluation point is added), the audio data having a higher evaluation point is indicated by LifeTime. The validity period or expiration date may be extended.

[Modification 12]
The providing unit 104 of the server apparatus 100 determines that if there are a plurality of registered positions of the audio data in a range based on the position indicated by the position information notified from the notifying unit 202b of the second user terminal 200b, these registered positions The voice data of a plurality of registered voice IDs stored in association with each other may be provided to the second user terminal 200b. In this case, the sound image localization process may be performed such that the sound data is heard from each registered position as viewed from the position of the second user terminal 200b. That is, when there are a plurality of speakers in the second user terminal 200b, the second user terminal 200b controls the volume balance of each speaker in accordance with an instruction from the providing unit 104 of the server device 100, and thus differs from the viewpoint of the user. Processing is performed so that different sounds can be heard from different directions.

[Modification 13]
Depending on the contents of the user management table in FIG. 4 and the contents of the voice registration table in FIG. 5, the following can also be realized.
For example, suppose a case where a plurality of teams provide voices related to a sporting event to be played. The playback user registers the team he or she supports (baseball team A) as attribute 3 (interest) in the user management table of FIG. The registered user is a place where the baseball team A is watching the game, and in the voice registration table of FIG. 5, as a provision condition (time), a competition time at which the baseball team A next competes at the same watching place is registered. The fact that the baseball team A is supported is registered as 4 (interest). The registered position at this time is a place where the registered user is watching the baseball team A. The registered voice registered at this time is, for example, a cheering song of the baseball team A, a voice when the registered user watches a game of the baseball team A (a cheer or a noise at the time of cheering at the battle place), a baseball team A Message or message to other users who support the user. If such a registration is made, when the playback user goes to watch the game of the baseball team A, a support song of the baseball team A, a voice of the baseball team A during the past watching, or a message to the fans of the baseball team A Etc. can be heard. Note that, in the above example, the registration of the provision condition (time) in the voice registration table of FIG. 5, that is, the registration of the competition time when the baseball team A next competes is not necessarily essential.
Such voice provision is performed by communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or near field radio communication (NFC) between the first user terminal 200a of the registered user and the second user terminal 200b of the reproduction user. It may be realized by.

[Modification 14]
