And general 104 for viewing.

[0013] Of the subscribers 102, "contracted subscribers" who have contracted to store video can store their own moving image data and the like in the video server 106. The video server 106 performs streaming reproduction of the stored video information on a plurality of viewing terminals 110, 114, and 115 in real time. At the same time, a thumbnail of the moving image data is created and stored in the publishing server 105. You can browse the index via the Internet through a public server.

The in-facility LAN is a wireless LAN for a portable terminal.
109, Ethernet (registered trademark) as a fixed terminal in the facility
Alternatively, data is sent from the video server 106 using a high-speed communication line such as an optical fiber 107.

A memorial monument 111 is installed in the facility 116, and part or all of the memorial monument 111 is provided to the subscriber according to the subscriber's contract form. The Memorial Monument 111 can be anything that is visibly shaped, such as tiles on the building's outer walls, paving stones on sidewalks, bridges, cars or dolls, in addition to traditional ones such as monuments, memorial trees, bronze statues, and tombs. Fried. The name and identification code of the contract subscriber who made a contract for each monument 111 are added by the plate 112.

The visitor to the facility is rented the portable terminal 110 or switches the network setting of the portable terminal such as his / her own computer, and the target monument 111
Approaching. The mobile terminal 110 is prepared in several types such as a liquid crystal screen type and a glasses type, and inputs the identification code to the LAN 10 by inputting an identification code.
7 is accessed on the video server 106. Depending on the terminal, the mobile terminal 110 may be connected to the monument 1 in order to automatically recognize the identification code set in the monument 111.
