[Operation]
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. First, at the time of registration of 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 designation unit 201a of the first user terminal 200a accepts these operations (step S11). The designation of the voice data is performed by a method such as selecting a desired one by the registered user from the list of voice data, or by directly inputting the music title of the voice data. The provision of the provision conditions is also performed by, for example, selecting a desired one from the list of provision conditions by the registered user or directly inputting the contents of the provision conditions. For example, when a registered user wants to listen to a song related to the sea with a user of the same gender and the same age as when he / she is on the beach, such a user's attribute may be specified in the provision condition .

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 sound ID of the sound data, and the provision conditions Is notified to the server apparatus 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. Also good.

The first acquisition unit 101 of the server device 100 acquires the position information, voice ID, provision condition, and user ID notified from the notification unit 202a of the first user terminal 200a. The storage unit 102 registers these in the voice registration table in association with each other as a registered 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 the registration time.

Next, when the audio data is reproduced (FIG. 8), the reproduction user operates the second user terminal 200b at a position desired by the user, and instructs the reproduction of the audio data. The instruction unit 201b of the second user terminal 200b accepts 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 this position information is combined with the user ID of the reproduction 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 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 user ID notified from the notification unit 202b of the second user terminal 200b. The providing unit 104 of the server device 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 acquires 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 with reference to (step S24). Referring to the example of FIG. 5, the providing unit 104 performs voice registration within a range of, for example, a radius of 100 m (threshold) with the position indicated by the position information (“N0E0”) acquired by the second acquisition unit 103 as the center. If any one of the 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 radius of 100 m centering on 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, when the user ID of the reproduction user acquired by the second acquisition unit 203 before “yyyy: mm: dd: hh: mm21” (time) has elapsed is “U0002”, the user management table of FIG. Since the user corresponding to the user ID “U0002” is interested in “female” (gender), “23 years old” (age), and “sea” (interest), the registered user ID “U0012” in FIG. 5 is registered. Provision conditions for registered voice ID “M000002” are “10-25 years old” (age), “female” (gender), “yyyy: mm: dd: hh: mm21” (time) and “nature” (interest) Matches.

If the providing condition is satisfied, the providing unit 104 performs processing for providing the second user terminal 200b with the voice data of the registered voice ID specified in step S24 (step S26). For example, the providing unit 104 transmits, to the second user terminal 200b, screen data in which the address where the voice data of the registered voice ID is stored in the voice DB is expressed in a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) format.

When the playback user selects a URL on this screen at the second user terminal 200b, the providing unit 104 of the server device 100 reads out the audio data corresponding to the URL from the storage unit 13 and connects the network 900 to the second user terminal 200b. Send through. The playback unit 203b of the second user terminal 200b acquires this audio data, plays it back, and outputs a sound (step S27). In this way, the playback user can listen to the voice registered by the registered user in the past at the position where the user is.

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

According to the embodiment described above, it is possible to realize audio reproduction according to position among a plurality of users. Registered users can find it interesting to have other users listen to the desired sound at the position they desire, while the playback user listens to the sound intentionally registered by other users at their position. In particular, it is possible to have a mental connection and relationship by having the registered user and the playback user sympathize with each other through voice even though the time is different.

[Modification]
The embodiment described above can be modified as follows. The following modifications may be implemented in combination with each other.
[Modification 1]
The designation of the registered position is not limited to designation by a single position information, but can also be designated as a route composed of a plurality of position information. In this case, the first acquisition unit 101 of the server device 100 acquires a plurality of pieces of position information indicating the route traveled by the first user terminal 200a, and the providing unit 104 determines that the position acquired by the second acquisition unit 103 is the above-described position. Provide processing when included in the route. Further, the second acquisition unit 103 acquires a plurality of pieces of position information indicating a route traveled by the second user terminal 200b, and the providing unit 104 includes a route indicated by the plurality of pieces of position information acquired by the first acquisition unit 101, and The providing process may be performed when a predetermined degree of coincidence with a route indicated by a plurality of pieces of position information acquired by the second acquisition unit 103 (for example, both routes match 50 m or more).

[Modification 2]
The server apparatus 100 may include a guide unit that guides the reproduction user to the registration position according to the positional relationship between the reproduction user position and the registration position. This guide unit is realized by the control unit 11 and the communication unit 12 of the server device 100. For example, the guide 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 the position information acquired by the second acquisition unit 103 indicates When the distance from the position to the registered position is less than or equal to the threshold value, the second user terminal 200b is notified of the distance, the direction from the playback user to the registered position, and the like. Notification is given by display. At this time, an attribute of the registered voice that can be heard at the registered position (for example, a song name) may be notified by voice or display. Thereby, the reproduction | regeneration user can know the place which can listen to the registered audio | voice. From the viewpoint of registered users, it is possible to guide a large number of playback users to a place where the registered voice can be heard.

[Modification 3]
When the plurality of registered positions determined from the plurality of registered positions stored in the storage unit 102 are acquired from the second user terminal 200b (that is, the plurality of reproduction users determined) When passing through the registered position), information for giving some kind of privilege to the reproduction user may be provided to the second user terminal 200b. The privilege here may be anything, but is, for example, value information that can be used as an alternative to money, audio data that is provided only to limited users, and the like.

[Modification 4]
The providing unit 104 of the server device 100 stores the audio data in accordance with a period from when the audio data is stored in the storage unit 102 until the providing process for providing the audio data to the second user terminal 200b is performed. It may be changed. The providing unit 104, for example, according to a period from when the audio data is registered until the audio data is provided (e.g., every 24 hours as an example of the threshold elapses) Decreasing the quality or reducing the volume parameter set in the audio data. As a result, the playback user can intuitively feel the period after the audio data is 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 sound data whose volume is controlled. For example, the providing unit 104 may provide the reproducing user with a sound having a volume corresponding to the distance between the position of the reproducing user and the registered position. Specifically, the volume parameter included in the audio data is increased as the position of the second user terminal 200b is closer to the registered position within a radius of 100 m from the registered position “x” illustrated in FIG. Further, for example, the providing unit 104 may provide the reproduction user with a sound having a volume corresponding to the degree of association between the reproduction user attribute and the provision condition associated with the audio data. Specifically, the providing unit 104 reads the interest-related provision conditions in the voice registration table and the reproduction user attribute group in the user management table, and compares the provision conditions (interest) with the reproduction user attributes. Then, the degree of relevance is calculated, and the volume of the audio data is controlled based on the magnitude of the degree of relevance. For example, for the volume parameter included in the audio data, the providing unit 104 performs a setting such that the volume is increased when the degree of association is large, and the volume is decreased when the degree of association is small.

[Modification 6]
The provision conditions regarding the reproduction user are not limited to age, sex, and interest, but may be any condition as long as the condition restricts the reproduction user. For example, the reproduction user's biometric information may be included in the provision conditions. If gene information is a provision condition, if the gene of a registered user's offspring (including a descendant that has not yet been born at the time of registration) has a similarity equal to or greater than a gene included in the provision condition, the offspring It becomes possible to provide audio as a playback user. That is, the first acquisition unit 101 acquires biometric information of a registered user who uses the first user terminal 200a as a provision condition, and the second acquisition unit 103 acquires biometric information of a reproduction user who uses the second user terminal 200b. The providing unit 104 performs the providing process according to the degree of 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 genes, but may be any information as long as it can identify a human by the characteristics of the living body, such as an iris (pupil), a face, a palm vein, a fingerprint, and a body odor. When the biometric information is an iris (pupil), face, palm vein, fingerprint, etc., it can be acquired by the imaging function of a portable user terminal, etc., and the similarity between the biometric information of the registered user and the biometric information of the playback user The threshold for judging the above may be set higher than in the case of other biological information. Although it is not easy to provide a condition for providing a character string such as a password to a playback user who has no contact means because there is no direct human relationship with the registered user, such biological information If this is used, this problem is solved, which is convenient.

[Modification 7]
The circular range with a radius of 100 m, which is a threshold value, from the registration position “x” shown in FIG. 9 is set as the audio data reproducible area. In the providing conditions, the threshold value and the shape of the audio data reproducible area are designated. You may do it.

[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, it may be position information based on a position designated by the user on the map displayed on the second user terminal 200b. That is, it does not matter how the position information that the second acquisition unit 103 acquires 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 apparatus 100 of the position information. The user (registered user) who uses the first user terminal 200a has an arbitrary position different from the position where the user exists (the position where the first user terminal 200a is located) on the map displayed on the first user terminal 200a. The server device 100 may be notified of this position information.

[Modification 9]
In addition to the voice data, the providing unit 104 provides data other than voice related to the registered position and the voice data (for example, text data describing image information related to the registered position, image data, text data describing information related to the voice data, and voice data thereof. Image data that makes the image of data) 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 registration, the first user terminal 200a transmits the voice data to the server apparatus 100 and the server apparatus 100 registers the voice data in the voice database, or The first user terminal 200a notifies the server apparatus 100 of the voice ID of the voice data, and the server apparatus 100 acquires voice data from a predetermined database server apparatus based on the voice ID and registers it 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 apparatus 100 increases, and the storage capacity of the server apparatus 100 may become tight due to a huge amount of data. Therefore, for each data of the voice registration table and voice data, the LifeTime that specifies the valid time or expiration date is specified, and when the valid period or the expiration date indicated by the LifeTime elapses, these data are deleted. You may be made to do. In this case, you may make it extend the effective period or expiration date shown by this LifeTime by charging with respect to the user of the 1st user terminal 200a. Further, after the evaluation by the user of the second user terminal 200b who has listened to the reproduced audio data (for example, an evaluation score is added if the reproduced audio is liked), the audio data having a high evaluation score is indicated by LifeTime. The validity period or the validity period may be extended.

[Modification 12]
The providing unit 104 of the server device 100, when there are a plurality of registered positions of audio data in a range based on the position indicated by the position information notified from the notification unit 202b of the second user terminal 200b, You may make it provide the 2nd user terminal 200b the audio | voice data of several registration audio | voice ID each memorize | stored by matching. In this case, sound image localization processing may be performed so that the sound data can be heard from each registered position as seen 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 user. Processing is performed so that different sounds can be heard from the direction.

[Modification 13]
Depending on the contents of the user management table in FIG. 4 and the voice registration table in FIG. 5, the following can be realized.
For example, a case is assumed in which a sound related to a sporting event in which a plurality of teams battle each other is provided. The reproduction user registers the team he / she supports (referred to as baseball team A) as attribute 3 (interest) in the user management table of FIG. In the voice registration table of FIG. 5, the registered user registers the time when the baseball team A will play next match at the same watching place in the voice registration table of FIG. Register that 4 (interest) is supporting baseball team A. The registered position at this time is a place where the registered user is watching the baseball team A.
