Abstract
An apparatus includes a storage section that stores stored content, a content receiving section that receives content, a received content storage section that stores received content, and a playback section that plays back the stored content or the received content. A playback control section controls the playback section to switch between playing back the stored content and playing back the received content. A content list management section manages a content list that stores combinations of an address of content relating to a location within a predetermined area, and the location. A location detection section detects current location information and a received content determination section determines content that should be received from the content list based on the current location information. The content receiving section receives content relating to a current location determined by the received content determination section and the playback control section controls the playback section to switch between playing back the received content and playing back the stored content.
