`[Technical Field of the Invention]
`
`The present invention relates to a music distribution system which uses a mobile
`phone.
`[0002]
`[Related Art]
`
`For example, music software may be enjoyed by receiving broadcast waves from a
`satellite or a ground station using a portable radio or television. The receiving of this
`broadcast wave is a one-way service from a broadcast station, and the user cannot select
`songs. Further, a service can be received in a communication karaoke system or the like
`where music selected by a user can be requested to a center using a wired line.
`[0003]
`[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
`
`In conjunction with the spread of mobile phone systems, it is now possible to offer
`users a variety of services in addition to phone service. The present invention provides a
`music selection viewing system that uses a wireless public communications network.
`[0004]
`[Summary of the Invention]
`
`The music selection viewing system of the present invention provides, as specific

`The portable music selection and viewing device 50 has a similar structure to a
`
`mobile phone, for example, and is provided with a display 52 and necessary push buttons
`or the like on a main body 51. A receiver 54 is connected to the main body 51. Users
`having the portable music selection and viewing device 50 operate the push buttons or the
`like on the main body 51 to call the distribution center 10 via the public communications
`network 30 and receive the desired music software via the public communications network
`30. The received software is amplified by an amp mounted in the main body 51 of the
`portable music selection and viewing device 50 and is output to a receiver 54.
`[0007]
`Users with the receiver 54 installed can display lyrics on the display 52 as
`
`necessary and can enjoy karaoke in addition to enjoying music. This portable music
`selection and viewing device 50 is simplified, having no memory function or the like
`provided and can receive a supply of music only when connected online.
`[0008]
`The portable music selection and viewing device 60 shows a model incorporating a
`
`storage device 66 in a main body 61. With this model of portable music selection and
`viewing device 60, the push buttons or the like of the main body 61 are operated to call the
`distribution center 10, and the supplied music software received is output to a receiver 64
`and to a display 62 and stored in the storage device 66. Therefore, the user can play and
`enjoy the music software in the storage device 66 even after the connection to the public
`communications network 30 is disconnected.
`[0009]
`The portable music selection and viewing device 70 provides a removable storage
`
`device 76 on a main body 71. This storage device 76 is a memory card similar to, for
`example, a magnetic card, a magnetic tape, a CD, a DVD, or an IC card. The user, after
`downloading the music software to the storage device (medium) 76 of the portable music
`selection and viewing device 70 by operating the push buttons or the like on the main body
`71, can enjoy this music software on a display 72 or a receiver 74 of the portable music
`selection and viewing device 70, and can also enjoy higher quality music playback by
`removing this storage device (medium) and inserting it into another audio unit. Further,
`the user can store the music software from another audio unit into the storage device 76
`and enjoy music by inserting this storage unit 76 into this portable music selection and
`viewing device 70.

`
`
`FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of the portable music selection and viewing
`
`device of the present invention having the functionality of a mobile phone. The portable
`music selection and viewing device shown overall by numeral 100 has a comprehensive
`control unit 110 connected to a power source unit 130, and a telephone number registration
`storage unit 120 is connected to the comprehensive control unit 110. A button input
`control unit 180, having a button input part 182 which the user operates, sends a signal to
`the comprehensive control unit 110, and the comprehensive control unit 110 displays
`operation content on a display unit 162 via a display control unit 160 and accesses the
`public communications network via a radio wave transmitting and receiving control unit
`140 and an antenna 150. If the user calls a phone of another party, the switchboard calls
`the other party's phone, and the user can communicate with the other party's phone by
`using a transmitter 174 and a receiver 172 connected to a transmitting and receiving
`control unit 170.
`[0011]
`A music control unit 200 is connected to the comprehensive control unit 110, the
`
`power source unit 130, the radio wave transmitting and receiving control unit 140, the
`button input control unit 180, and a display control unit 160. After the user operates the
`button input part 182 and outputs a command to call the distribution center, the content is
`displayed on the display unit 162, and the radio wave transmitting and receiving control
`unit 140 accesses the distribution center via the public communications network through
`the antenna 150.
`[0012]
`Once the distribution center is accessed, the user commands a song selection, and
`
`the distribution center sends back the selected music software. The music control unit 200
`which has received this music software amplifies the signal using a music amplifier and
`outputs audio to a music receiver 230 inserted into a receiver jack 220. This audio output
`can also be output to a receiver 172. Information about lyrics or the like is displayed on
`the display unit 162.
`[0013]
`A music storage device 240 connected to the music control unit 200 stores the
`
`music software. A music storage medium 250 such as a magnetic card, magnetic tape, a
`CD, a DVD, or a memory card such as an IC card stores the music software, and this
`storage medium 250 can be removed and used on other audio units.
`[0014]
`FIG. 3 is a flow chart of a process according to the system of the present invention.
`
`In step S10, registration (modification/deletion) of a song, lyrics, and images is performed
`with the distribution center 10 from the record production company 20. In step S11, the
`user can select a song name, artist name, genre, song number, composer name and the like
`using the display and push buttons of the portable music selection and viewing device. In
`step S12, the selected song, lyrics, and images are transmitted from the distribution center
`to the user through a line.
`[0015]
`In step S13, the audio is played from the receiver of the user and the lyrics and
`
`images are displayed on the display. With a storage device, it is possible to save and then
`playback after a call has ended. In step S14, a billing process is performed after the
`transmission from the distribution center is complete. The billing process is performed in
`compliance with the Q2 method of NTT. In step S15, if there is an incoming call during
`playback from the storage device, an interruption notification or display is performed.
