`like on the main body 5] 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 ofthe
`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 ofthe 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 T6 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) ?6 ofthe 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 '32 or a receiver ?4 of the portable music
`selection and viewing device ‘F0, 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 '36 into this portable music selection and
`viewing device 7'0.

`
`FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram ofthe portable music selection and viewing
`device ofthe present invention having the functionality ofa mobile phone. The portable
`music selection and viewing device shown overall by numeral 100 has a comprehensive
`control unit 1 10 connected to a power source unit 130, and a telephone number registration
`storage unit 120 is connected to the comprehensive control unit I 10. A button input
`control unit 130, having a button input part 182 which the user operates, sends a signal to
`the comprehensive control unit 110, and the comprehensive control unit 1 10 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 I70.
`
`[001 1]
`
`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 I40, 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 I40 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 sofiware amplifies the signal using a music amplifier and
`outputs audio to a music receiver 230 inserted into a receiverjack 220. This audio output
`can also be output to a receiver 1'32.
`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 sofiware. 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.
