摘要:
Potable terminal includes a position detection section for identifying a room where a user is currently in, and a personal authentication section, such as a fingerprint sensor. In each room, there is provided an Audio/Video apparatus controlled by an Audio/Video-apparatus controlling manager. Information of user's entry or exit into or from any one of the rooms is transmitted wirelessly from the potable terminal, in response to which the Audio/Video-apparatus controlling manager performs ON/OFF control of the Audio/Video apparatus of the room, reproduction start/stop control of a music piece, etc. When the user has moved from one room to another, the manager performs control for reproducing, in the newly-moved-to room, a continuation of the music piece that was being reproduced in the previous room. In this way, the Audio/Video apparatus can be controlled in accordance with the user and position of the user.
