Abstract
A method of relaying data between a first terminal device connected to a first network and a second terminal device connected to a second network comprises: searching in a storing device based on location information accompanying data received from the first terminal device or the second terminal device, the storing device storing location information indicative of a location of at least the first terminal device; as a result of the searching, if the location information exists in the storing device, converting the location information accompanying the data so that the location information stored in the storing device becomes a new location information of the data; and sending the data accompanied with the location information having been converted to the second terminal device or the first terminal device.
