Description

  The present invention relates to a user interface technique for improving the efficiency of a music search operation when downloading music data from a music distributor via a network.

  In recent years, with the spread of the Internet, commercial transactions in which individuals purchase various products via a network have become popular. As one form of this type of commercial transaction, it is widely performed to buy and sell digitized music data between a music distributor and a user via a network.

  In a system for distributing music data to a user through a digital network, the user connects his terminal (for example, a personal computer or a mobile phone) to a server owned by a music distributor and receives a song list transmitted from the server. Generally, the desired music is displayed on the monitor and selected on the music list. However, since the total number of songs owned by the music distributor is enormous, the amount of the list becomes enormous, and it is not easy to search for a desired song from the entire list.

  If you specify the artist name or CD album name and narrow it down, the song list can be compressed, but there is a possibility that unnecessary songs may be mixed. In view of this, a music playback data transmitting apparatus has been proposed in which a song list is presented based on selection criteria such as genre, country, artist gender, etc., and the user has a step of deleting unnecessary songs before downloading the songs (for example, (See Patent Document 1).

In addition, a music data distribution system has been proposed in which a music information database is searched from items such as music title, player, performance time, music collection, music selector, music image, etc., and the searched music data is downloaded. For example, see Patent Document 2).

  By the way, in the music selection in the music distribution system, in the conventional system, a list of songs that can be distributed is transmitted from the server, and the desired song is specified by looking at the song list displayed on the terminal. You need to be careful not to duplicate the songs you own. Therefore, in patent document 1, the confirmation step which selects the music which distribution is not desired is provided before the delivery music is decided.

  However, it is not easy to determine whether or not you have a song by looking only at the delivered song list, and if you have more songs, you will not be able to remember and check not to duplicate It will not be easy.

  Further, as a search method, for example, the method of Patent Document 2 does not display a simple song list, but provides a list searched according to the user's favorite conditions that are input, so that a desired song can be quickly obtained. The search is aided, but again, the above-described duplication check cannot be easily performed.

  Furthermore, although song preferences vary from person to person, the range of personal preferences is usually limited to a certain range, so there is also a need for a simpler search method that reflects personal preferences. .

  The present invention has been made in consideration of such circumstances, and a music distribution system, a user terminal device, a song, and the like that can search for a desired song based on a song already owned by the present invention. An object is to provide a list display method.

The music distribution server device stores a music database that stores music data of a distribution target song, and a song that satisfies a song search condition transmitted from the user terminal device among the music data of the distribution target song stored in the music database. A server list management unit that creates a server search list to be returned and returns the server search list to the user terminal device, and the user terminal device includes the music distribution server in music data stored in a built-in or externally connected recording unit A user search list showing songs that satisfy the song search condition transmitted to the device is created and returned from the music distribution server. Characterized in that it comprises a user list management unit to display with the server search list that is. In the embodiment, the music database corresponds to the storage unit 12, the server list management unit corresponds to the list management unit 102, and the user list management unit corresponds to the list management unit 201.

  The user terminal device according to the present invention transmits an input song search condition to the music distribution server device in the user terminal device connected to the music distribution server device for distributing music data, and the music distribution server. A server search list indicating songs satisfying the song search condition among music data to be distributed by the device is stored in a communication unit for receiving from the music distribution server device, and an internal or externally connected recording unit. A user list management unit that creates a user search list indicating songs satisfying a song search condition transmitted to the music distribution server device in the music data, and displays the user search list together with the server search list received from the music distribution server device; It is characterized by comprising. The communication unit corresponds to the communication interface (I / F) unit 28 and the user list management unit corresponds to the list management unit 201 in the embodiment.

  The music list display method of the present invention is a music list display method in a user terminal device connected to a music distribution server device that distributes music data, and the music distribution server device sets the music data to be distributed. A server search list showing songs satisfying the song search condition entered in the list and a user search showing songs satisfying the entered song search condition in music data stored in a built-in or externally connected recording unit The list is displayed simultaneously.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a music distribution system, a user terminal device, and a song list display method capable of searching for a desired song based on a song already owned by the user.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a system configuration of a music distribution system according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, this music distribution system is configured by connecting a server device 1 and a user terminal device 2 via a network 3.

  The ROM 22 is a memory device that stores, for example, main programs among programs that are executed and controlled by the CPU 21. The RAM 23 is a memory device serving as a main memory of the user terminal device 2 and stores various programs and various data as a work area of the CPU 21. On the other hand, the storage unit 24 is a memory device serving as an external storage of the user terminal device, and stores various programs and various data as an auxiliary device of the RAM 23. As data stored in the storage unit 24, in addition to music data received from the server device 1, there are search list data, favorite list data, and the like, which will be described later.

  The operation unit 25 is a device responsible for the input side of the user interface provided by the user terminal device 2, and notifies the CPU 21 of user operations. On the other hand, the display unit 26 and the audio processing / output unit 27 are devices responsible for the output side of the user interface provided by the user terminal device 2. The display unit 26 outputs an image to the user, and the audio processing / output unit 27 Each voice output to the user is executed. The communication interface 28 controls communication with the server device 1 via the network 3.

  Next, the music distribution system of the present embodiment having such a configuration is provided to the user in order to be able to search for a desired song on the network based on the song that the user already owns. The working environment will be described.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of an initial screen displayed on the display unit 26 of the user terminal device 2 in this music distribution system.

  As shown in FIG. 2, on the screen of the user terminal device 2 at the start of use of the music distribution system, three fields of a main menu a1, a server list a2, and a user list a3 are provided. When the connection with the server device 1 is performed, the list management unit 201 requests the server device 1 for a music list of music data to be distributed, and the music management unit receives the music data song list stored in the storage unit 24. 202. The music management unit 202 manages music data stored in the storage unit 24 that has been downloaded from the server device 1. Upon receiving this request, the server device 1 creates a predetermined amount of song list from the distribution target music data stored in the storage unit 12 and returns it.

  When the song list is sent from the server device 1, the list management unit 201 stores it in the storage unit 24, displays it in the field of the server list a 2, and displays the song list obtained from the music management unit 202. It is displayed in the field of the user list a3. That is, at this time, the music data song list that can be distributed by the server device 1 and the music data song list that exists in the user terminal device 2 are overlapped in two rows and displayed simultaneously.

  The main menu a1 is a field for setting a search condition for narrowing down to search for a desired song from the song list displayed in this way. In the server list a2 and the user list a3, items of a song name a4, a genre name a5, an artist name a6, and an album name a7 are listed for each song.

  Here, it is assumed that the user operates the main menu a1 to set search conditions for narrowing down. FIG. 3 is a diagram for showing the transition of the server list a2 and the user list a3 by the search condition setting.

  As shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that the user has selected “genre” as a category for setting search conditions. When category selection is performed, the list management unit 201 displays a list of options in the category in the field of the submenu b1. Here, “POP”, “ROCK”, “JAZZ”, “R & B”,... Exist as options of “genre”, and the user selects “JAZZ” (specified item b2) from among them. And The options displayed in the submenu b1 are selected from items displayed in the user list a3.

  Then, the list management unit 201 transmits the set search condition to the server device 1 and creates a music list of music data satisfying the search condition in the music data stored in the storage unit 24. On the other hand, also on the server device 1 side that has received this search condition, the list management unit 102 creates and returns a song list of music data satisfying the search condition among the music data stored in the storage unit 12. Then, the list management unit 201 that has received the song list from the server device 1 stores it in the storage unit 24 and displays it in the field of the server list a2, and also on the user terminal device 2 side created by itself. A music list corresponding to “JAZZ” is displayed in the field of the user list a3. That is, when the search condition is set, the list of distribution target songs of the server device 1 that satisfies the search condition and the music data song list that exists in the user terminal device 2 that satisfies the search condition are overlapped in two upper and lower stages. It will be switched to the screen that is displayed simultaneously. As shown in FIG. 3, in both the server list a2 and the user list a3, the item of the genre name a5 is narrowed down to only “JAZZ”.

  Next, on the screen shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that the user selects “Artist” as a category and “ARTIST02” (specified item c1) as an option in the category. Then, the list management unit 201 transmits the newly set search condition to the server device 1 and also the search condition (“ARTIST02” in the music data listed in the immediately preceding song list (“JAZZ”). Re-create a song list of music data satisfying ")". On the other hand, in the server device 1, the list management unit 102 reads the song list (search list data) created based on the previous search condition (“JAZZ”) from the storage unit 12, and the music listed in this song list A song list of music data satisfying the search condition (“ARTIST02”) in the data is recreated and returned. In addition to “ARTIST02”, a song list of another artist of the same type as this artist (for example, “ARTIST06”) may be included.

  And the list management part 201 displays the music list returned from this server apparatus 1 with the music list which it recreated. FIG. 4 is a display example of the server list a2 and the user list a3 at this time. As shown in FIG. 4, both the server list a2 and the user list a3 are further narrowed down to only those with an artist name a6 of “ARTIST02”.

  Further, on the screen shown in FIG. 4, when the user selects “album” as a category and “AL.2” (specified item d1) as an option in the category, the server device 1 and the user terminal device 2 operates in the same manner as described above. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, both the server list a2 and the user list a3 are further narrowed down to only items having the album name a7 of “AL.2”. The list management unit 102 of the server apparatus 1 may include not only “AL.2” but also the names of albums released before and after “AL.2” in the server list a2 to be transmitted.

  As described above, when the search condition is set by selecting a category in the main menu a1 and selecting a designated item in the submenu b1, the music data to be distributed by the server device 1 and the user terminal device 2 exist. Since only music data that satisfies the search conditions or music data that is highly relevant from both of the music data is synchronously narrowed down and displayed simultaneously, the user can easily check for duplication by comparing these data. However, it becomes possible to search for a desired song.

  Then, when a desired song is found on the server device 1 in such a procedure and an instruction to purchase the song is given, a music purchase request is transmitted from the music management unit 202 to the server device, and the music of the server device 1 is transmitted. The transmission management unit 101 distributes the music data of the same song. Then, the music management unit 202 stores the distributed music data in the storage unit 24. Thereafter, this song is also displayed on the user list a3.

  In the above description, the example in which the search condition is set by the procedure of selecting the category from the main menu a1 and further selecting the specified item from the submenu b1 has been described. However, in this music distribution system, the search condition is also set by the following procedure. Can be set.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, in the main menu a1, the user selects “Artist” as a category for setting the search condition, and is listed in the user's already owned song, that is, the user list a3. It is assumed that an arbitrary song is designated from the existing songs (designated song e1).

  Then, the list management unit 201 transmits “ARTIST02” of the artist name of the designated song to the server device 1 as a search condition. In response to this, the list management unit 102 of the server apparatus 1 uses the same artist or artist of the same type as “ARTIST02” as a search condition, and creates and returns a song list of music data that satisfies the search condition. The list management unit 201 displays this song list in the field of the server list a2. As shown in FIG. 6, in the field of the server list a 2, a song whose artist name a 6 is “ARTIST02” and a song whose type is “ARTIST03” are listed.

  Similarly, as shown in FIG. 7, in the main menu a1, the user selects “album” as a category for setting search conditions, and selects an arbitrary song from among the songs listed in the user list a3. If designated (designated song f1), a song search using the album name “AL.2” of this designated song as a search condition is performed on the server device 1 side, and an album that is the same as or before and after “AL.2”. A song list by name is created, and the result is displayed in the field of the server list a2. As shown in FIG. 7, in the field of the server list a2, songs whose album name a7 is “AL.2” and “AL.3” are listed.

  As described above, when the search condition is set by selecting a category in the main menu a1 and selecting an arbitrary song in the user list a3, the song on the server device 1 having the relevance in the designated category with the song is selected. Since the list can be displayed, the user can easily perform a search reflecting his / her preference.

  Note that the selection method for selecting either the selection by the submenu b1 (menu search mode) or the selection by the user list a3 (song search mode) is a known method such as selection / setting on the menu screen for environment setting, for example. Any of various methods can be applied.

  8 and 9 are flowcharts showing the flow of operations of the server device 1 and the user terminal device 2 in the music distribution system of the present embodiment. 8, (A) shows the operation flow of the user terminal device 2, (B) shows the operation flow of the server device 1, and FIG. 9 shows the user terminal shown in FIG. 8 (A). The detailed flow of the search condition setting process in the operation flow of the apparatus 2 is shown.

  When the use of the music distribution system is started, the list management unit 201 of the user terminal device 2 requests the music list of the music data to be distributed from the server device 1 (step A1), and stores in the own device. The music list of all music data existing in the unit 24 is acquired from the music management unit 202 (step A2). On the other hand, in the server device 1 that has received this request, the list management unit 102 creates a predetermined amount of song list (server list) from the song list of all the music data to be distributed stored in the storage unit 12, and the user terminal It returns to the apparatus 2 (step B1-step B2).

  When the list management unit 201 of the user terminal device 2 receives the song list from the server device 1 and stores it in the storage unit 24 (step A3), the list management unit 201 initially stores the song list together with the song list (user list) acquired from the music management unit 202. A screen is displayed (step A4).

  When a search instruction is issued after the initial screen is displayed (YES in step A5), the list management unit 201 of the user terminal device 2 executes a search condition setting process whose detailed flow is shown in FIG. 9 (step A6). ). More specifically, it is checked which one of the menu search mode and the song search mode is selected (step C1). If the menu search mode is selected (YES in step C1), the item presented as a submenu When an input for designating any item is received (step C2), and if the song search mode is selected (NO in step C1), any of the songs presented as the user list is selected. An input for designating a song is accepted (step C3). Then, the search condition is set from the accepted input (step C4).

  When the search condition is set in this way, the list management unit 201 of the user terminal device 2 transmits the set search condition to the server device 1 (step A7), and only from songs that satisfy the search condition on the own device side. A new song list is recreated (step A8). Similarly, also on the server device 1 side, the list management unit 102 recreates a new song list consisting only of songs satisfying this search condition (step B3), and returns it to the user terminal device 2 ( Step B4).

  Then, the list management unit 201 of the user terminal device 2 displays the song list received from the server device 1 together with the song list on the own device side recreated by itself (step A9). The processing of step A6 to step A9 is re-executed every time a search instruction is issued (YES in step A10).

  If a song purchase instruction is issued (YES in step A11), the music management unit 202 of the user terminal device 2 transmits the instructed song name to the server device 1 (step A12), and the server device 1 transmits music. The management unit 101 returns the music data of the same song (step B5). The music management unit 202 of the user terminal device 2 receives the music data from the server device 1 (step A13) and stores it in the storage unit 24 (step A14).

  Next, an application example of the music distribution system that provides a user interface that enables such an efficient music search will be described. Here, in addition to the function of synchronously narrowing down the music data on the server device 1 and the music data on the user terminal device 2 using the server list and the user list as described above, for example, music data narrowed down to some extent Mark any music data in the list, display a list of only the marked music, and send the list to the user terminal device 2 of the friend via the network as shown in FIG. It has a function to do. For this purpose, the list management unit 201 includes a favorite management unit 203.

  FIG. 11 shows an example of a screen displayed by the list management unit 201. As shown in FIG. 11A, the favorite menu g1 is displayed in the lower part of the main menu a1. In the favorite menu g1, a check box g2 for selecting an arbitrary mark is provided.

  As shown in (B), the user can attach the mark displayed on the favorite menu g1 to the songs on the server list a2 and the user list a3. The favorite management unit 203 manages which mark is attached to which song. When any check box g2 is checked after this marking is performed, the favorite management unit 203 displays only the music marked with the checked mark in the server list a2 and the user list a3. And, as shown in (C), the process proceeds to a process of transmitting a list showing only these songs to another user terminal device 2 or the like via the network 3. When transmission is instructed in the transmission window g3, for example, a screen for inputting a mail address is displayed, and a mail with the list added as an attached file is transmitted to the mail address input on this screen, for example.

  FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 are flowcharts showing the flow of operations related to transmission of this song list to friends.

  After displaying the server list a2 and the user list a3 (step D1 in FIG. 12), the list management unit 201 receives an input of a favorite mark (step D2 in FIG. 12), and creates a list of songs with this mark. And stored in the storage unit 24 (step D3 in FIG. 12).

  Further, when the list management unit 201 reads the marked list from the storage unit 24 and displays it (step E1 in FIG. 13), the list management unit 201 accepts input of the check box g2 (step E2 in FIG. 13), and the music marked with the mark is added. Only a list is displayed (step E3 in FIG. 13).

  When the list transmission instruction is issued (step E4 in FIG. 13), the list management unit 201 accepts the input of the address of the transmission partner (step E5 in FIG. 13), and transmits the list toward the input address. It executes (step E6 in FIG. 13).

  As a result, not only can the music search be performed efficiently for the user, but also a role as a communication tool between friends can be provided, for example, while an opportunity to promote downloading of music data can be provided for the music distributor. .

  Furthermore, in the music distribution system according to the present embodiment, it is also effective to store, for example, image data or the like in the storage unit 12 of the server device 1 as information attached to the music data so that the user terminal device 2 can refer to it. is there.

  In order to realize this function, the list management unit 201 of the user terminal device 2 further displays an information button h1 as shown in FIG. 14A, for example. When this information button h1 is operated in a state where any song on the server list a2 is selected, the list management unit 201 sends a transfer request for attached information corresponding to the music data of this song to the server device. 1 to send. In the server device 1 that has received this transfer request, the list management unit 102 reads the attached information from the storage unit 12 and returns it to the user terminal device 2. The list management unit 201 of the user terminal device 2 newly secures a field for displaying the attached information on the screen, and displays the attached information transferred from the server device 1.

  In FIG. 14B, by selecting the song C on the server list (selected song h2) and operating the information button h1, an information window h3 is newly secured, and image data that is information attached to the song C is displayed. The state where is displayed is shown. As described above, by providing a mechanism that can easily refer to the accessory information of the distribution target song of the server device 1, the user's song search can be further supported.

  An associated song list is also distributed by an operation for designating one's own song. In this case, it is not necessary to memorize troublesome operations such as designation of a search condition.

  As described above, in the music distribution system according to the present embodiment, for example, it is possible to search for a desired song while simply performing a duplication check on whether or not the music data has been purchased, and based on personally owned songs. It is possible to provide a simpler search method that reflects individual preferences.
