ABSTRACT:
The position-linked chat system makes it possible to carry out a chat using many terminals connected to a server device through the Internet. The server device includes a chat room controller which generates many chat rooms based on a geographical standard, a chat room selector which selects a chat room in which a user of certain terminal is to participate based on information relating to the current position of that terminal, and a voice controller which mixes voices of users transmitted from the terminals of respective users participating in the same chat room.
