Description

  The present invention relates to a broadcast music automatic recording system in which a terminal device having a broadcast receiving function and a music recording and playback function and a server providing music information are connected via a communication network, and a terminal device and a server used in this system And the recording reservation program.

  It is possible to record music that is broadcast on public broadcasts such as radio and television, and enjoy it for personal use. Some terminal devices such as mobile phones have a music playback function added (see Patent Document 2). Recently, in particular, not only a music playback function but also a broadcast reception function such as a radio or a TV is provided. Things are appearing. Therefore, it has become possible to listen to broadcasts not only in the home but also on the go or on the move using the mobile terminal device.

  By the way, when the terminal device has a recording function and intends to record a song to be broadcast, it is necessary to recognize the broadcast time of the target song. This is especially true when performing scheduled recording. However, it is not easy to cut out only the target music in the broadcast program. According to the program guides available in newspapers, magazines, the Internet, etc., it is possible to grasp which program of which broadcast station (channel) the target song is broadcast, but in conventional broadcasting, it is subdivided to the content level Because it is not, it is not possible to grasp the broadcast time in units of music.

In Patent Document 1, in a digital television broadcast receiver, character information (speech additional information) relating to the song title, performer, etc. of the song that is sent together with the audio information of the song currently being broadcast included in the digital radio broadcast. A technique for reserving and recording a target piece of music by identifying the piece of music is proposed.
JP 2000-270280 A JP 2002-132609 A

  According to the technique described in Patent Document 1, it is possible to specify the target music being broadcast, but the target is limited to digital broadcasting including audio additional information, and cannot be compatible with conventional analog broadcasting. There's a problem. Moreover, in order to detect the presence of the music being broadcast, the broadcast receiving unit must be kept in a constantly receiving state. Further, since the reception state is always set, as long as there is only one reception unit, there is a problem that only one channel being received can be broadcast.

  The present invention has been made in such a background. The purpose of the present invention is to specify the music, and even if it is an analog broadcast, the music in the program is not limited to one channel. It is to provide a broadcast music automatic recording system, a terminal device, a server, and a recording reservation program that can automatically extract and record a program.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a broadcast music automatic recording system, a terminal device, a server, and a recording reservation program that only require broadcast reception when receiving music.

  The broadcast music automatic recording system according to the present invention is a broadcast music automatic recording system in which a terminal device having a broadcast receiving function and a music recording and playback function and a server providing music information are connected by a communication network. In this system, the terminal device transmits music identification information for specifying music to the server. The server has a broadcast information database storing the broadcast channel and date / time information for each music so that the music can be searched, and the music is broadcast from the broadcast information database based on the music identification information received from the terminal device. The channel and date / time information is obtained, and this information is transmitted to the terminal device as reservation list information. Further, the terminal device creates a reservation list based on the reservation list information received from the server, and records the music to be broadcast based on the reservation list.

  In this way, since the broadcast channel and date / time information for each song are managed by the server, the terminal list can specify reservation list information for broadcasting and recording the song only by specifying the song. In addition, since the reservation list information can include information on a plurality of channels, it is possible to cope with broadcasting on a plurality of channels.

  A terminal device according to the present invention includes a data communication means for transmitting and receiving data via a communication network, a broadcast receiving means for receiving a broadcast, a recording means for recording a song to be broadcast, a reproducing means for reproducing a song, Clock means for managing information and reservation control means for performing reservation control of recording of the music to be broadcast are provided. The reservation control means transmits music identification information for specifying music by the data communication means to the server, receives reservation list information including a channel on which the music is broadcast and date and time information, and based on the reservation list information. A reservation list is created, and recording reservation of the recording means is performed based on the reservation list.

  The reservation control means preferably allows a plurality of list records having different broadcast channels and / or broadcast dates / times to be stored for the same music in the reservation list. This increases the chances of recording the desired music. When a plurality of list records are stored, when recording is performed for one of the list records, all stored list records for the same music are deleted, and recording is not performed for one list record. When the broadcast date / time has passed, only the list record is deleted.

  It is preferable that the operation of the broadcast receiving unit is set in a normal stop state, and the reservation control unit turns on the operation of the broadcast receiving unit when starting recording based on the reservation list and turns it off after the recording ends. Thereby, the operation of the broadcast receiving unit can be automatically turned on only during the recording operation, and wasteful power consumption by the broadcast receiving unit is suppressed.

  The server according to the present invention is a server to which a terminal device is connected via a communication network, and retrieves data communication means for performing data communication via the communication network, and the channel and date / time information broadcast for each song. A broadcast information database stored in a possible manner, and a search means for obtaining a broadcast channel and date / time information corresponding to the music from the broadcast information database based on music identification information received from the terminal device via the data communication means; And a response means for transmitting reservation list information including a scheduled channel and date / time information for the music to the terminal device by the data communication means.

  The response unit preferably transmits a plurality of list records to the terminal device when a plurality of list records having different broadcast channels and / or broadcast dates / times are detected for the same music as a result of the search by the search unit. To do.

  The server may have a music database storing music information. In this case, the terminal device accesses the server and transmits the music identification information to the server based on the music database. Thus, the music identification information can be acquired.

  The server may select music based on history information of music identification information transmitted from the terminal device or information reported from the terminal device, and transmit the music identification information to the terminal device. . In this case, the terminal device transmits the music identification information selected from the music identification information received from the server to the server. Thereby, selection of a music piece and broadcast recording can be prompted by the server side initiative.

  The present invention can also be grasped as a recording reservation program that operates in a terminal device having a broadcast receiving function and a music recording and playback function. The recording reservation program includes a step of specifying a song to be recorded, a step of acquiring a channel and date / time information on which the specified song is broadcast via a communication network, and a reservation list of a channel and date / time information on which the song is broadcast A step of receiving as information and a step of waiting for recording based on the received reservation list information are executed.

  According to the present invention, the user specifies the music by the music identification information, obtains the channel and date / time information for broadcasting the music from the server, and uses the reservation list information to obtain the analog broadcasting. It is also possible to automatically extract and record the music from the program.

  Further, since the channel is designated according to the reservation list information, the number of recording target channels is not limited to one. Therefore, the possibility that the target music is obtained within the unit period is improved.

  Furthermore, since the music to be recorded is not detected by checking the broadcast reception content, but is determined in advance by the reservation list information, the broadcast receiving unit may be operated only during the recording period. Therefore, the power consumption of the broadcast receiving unit can be reduced. This is particularly useful when the present invention is applied to a portable terminal operated by a battery.

  By allowing a plurality of list records that differ in at least one of the broadcast channel and the broadcast date and time for the same music piece to be stored in the reserved list, it is possible to further increase the chances of recording the target music piece.

  DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a broadcast music automatic recording system to which the present invention is applied. This system includes a broadcasting station 40, a server 20, and a terminal device (also simply referred to as a terminal) 10.

  The terminal 10 in the present embodiment is assumed to be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a PDA. However, the terminal of the present invention is not limited to such a portable terminal, and can also be applied to a non-mobile terminal such as a personal computer. The terminal 10 has a broadcast receiving function for receiving broadcast radio waves from the broadcast station 40 and a function for transmitting and receiving data to and from the server 20 and the like via the communication network 30. The communication network 30 may include a mobile phone network and the Internet.

The databases 203 and 204 may exist at different sites on the communication network 30.

  The broadcast station 40 outputs broadcast radio waves for each broadcast channel via the antenna 42. In the present embodiment, each broadcasting station 40 has a broadcast information database 41 that stores detailed information of programs broadcast by the own station, and provides this information to at least the server 20. That is, the content of the broadcast information database 204 of the server 20 is configured based on the content of the broadcast information database 41 of each broadcast station 40. However, the broadcast station 40 is not necessarily connected to the communication network 30 and may be connected to the server 20 via a dedicated line. In addition, broadcast information may be provided to the server 20 in the form of an arbitrary recording medium. The music database 203 stores information that defines the content of the music that can be broadcast from the broadcasting station 40 in a searchable manner. Examples of the contents of the music database 203 and the broadcast information database 204 will be described later.

  In this specification, “musical piece” typically assumes a unit of music composed of instrument sounds, voices, and the like. However, it is not necessarily limited to this, and any unit of audible information including sound may be used.

  An outline of typical operations of the system of FIG. 1 will be described. First, in accordance with a user instruction, the terminal 10 makes an inquiry to the server 20 for specifying a target music to be broadcast-recorded (1). In response to this inquiry, the server 20 selects the target music or its candidate by processing such as searching the music database 203, and music identification information (music ID) for specifying at least the music to the terminal 10 To answer. The terminal 10 determines the target music according to the answer from the server 20, and requests the reservation list information from the server (3). The reservation list information is information that allows the terminal 10 to make a recording reservation for the broadcast of the target music based on the information, and includes at least the music ID and the broadcast channel and date / time information. The terminal 10 receives such reservation list information (4), enters the reservation standby mode, and records the music to be broadcast on the scheduled channel at the scheduled date and time (5).

  FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a mobile phone as an example of the terminal 10. The terminal 10 is centered on the control unit 5, on the other hand, a digital signal processing unit 3, a display unit 6, an operation unit 7, a clock unit 8, a ROM 18 which is a rewritable nonvolatile memory such as an EEPROM and a flash memory. The RAM 19, which is a readable / writable ordinarily volatile memory, and the broadcast receiver 14 are connected to each other. Although not shown, a removable external memory may be provided. The control unit 5 is a main unit for realizing the function of the mobile phone, and includes a CPU and the like. The control unit 5 constitutes reservation control means, recording means, reproduction means and the like according to the present invention. The recording reservation program of the present invention is stored in the ROM 18. The antenna 12, the RF input / output unit 4 and the like constitute data communication means.

  The digital signal processing unit 3 is connected to the audio input unit 1 connected to the microphone 15, the audio output unit 2 connected to the speaker 16, the ear receiver 17 and the stereo output terminal 9, and the RF input / output unit 4 connected to the antenna 12. And a dedicated circuit including an audio codec for encoding and decoding audio digital signals.

The audio input unit 1 is a part that converts an analog audio signal from the microphone 15 into a digital signal, and includes a microphone amplifier, a filter, an A / D converter, and the like. The audio output unit 2 is a part for driving a speaker or the like with the received digital audio signal, and includes a D / A converter, a filter, a speaker amplifier, and the like. The RF input / output unit 4 is a part that performs high-frequency transmission / reception, and includes a quadrature modulator, a gain amplifier, a power amplifier, a diversity, a mixer, an IF demodulator, and the like.

  The broadcast receiving unit 14 performs channel selection and reproduction of the radio wave received by the antenna 13. The broadcast receiving unit 14 may have a function of checking the reception state level of the selected channel. The reproduced music is digitized by the digital signal processing unit 3 via the control unit 5, converted into a file of a predetermined file format, and stored in a storage unit such as the ROM 18 or the RAM 19.

  The display unit 6 is a part that displays and outputs information to the user, and includes an LCD driver, an LCD display device, and the like. However, the display device is not limited to the LCD. The operation unit 7 is a part for the user to input operation information to the terminal 10 and includes a keyboard, a JOG dial, and the like. The clock unit 8 manages the current date and time and provides a timer function for performing reserved recording.

  FIG. 3 shows an outline of the hardware configuration of the server 20. CPU21 which comprises the control means of the server in this invention performs a control program and various application programs, and controls each part of a server. The ROM 22 stores fixed data among programs executed by the CPU 21 and calculation parameters. The ROM 22 may include a rewritable nonvolatile memory as described above. The RAM 23 provides a work area for the CPU 21 and a temporary storage area for data. The ROM 22 and the RAM 23 are connected to the CPU 21 via the bus 24. An input device 26 such as a keyboard, a display device 27 such as a CRT and a liquid crystal display, an external storage device 28 such as a hard disk device, a magneto-optical recording device, and a CD-ROM are connected to a bus 24 via an interface 25, and a database 203, Configure storage for 204. When the role of the ROM 22 is replaced by the external storage device 28, the ROM 22 is not essential. The bus 24 is connected to a communication network 30 via a communication unit 29 that is a data communication means in the present invention. The search engine 201 and reservation list information creation engine 202 shown in FIG. 1 are realized by program control of the CPU 21 and constitute search means and response means in the present invention.

  Next, an example of stored contents of a database used in the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the contents stored in the music database 203. The music database 203 stores a music ID (music identification information), an artist, a music name, a composer, a songwriter, a performer, a label name, and the like for each music. However, not all these items are mandatory. The contents of the stored items may vary depending on the music. For example, other items such as vocals and conductors may be described.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the contents stored in the broadcast information database 204 of the server 20. The broadcast information database 204 includes the song ID, broadcast channel, broadcast start date and end date and time for each song scheduled to be broadcast by each broadcast station at least in a predetermined period (one month in this example) from the current date. Is stored. Instead of “end date and time”, “music length (broadcast time)” may be used. As can be seen from the figure, if either the channel or the start date / time and end date / time information is different for the same music, it is stored as a separate record.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of the contents of the reservation list 51 generated in the terminal 10. The reservation list 51 is a data table held in a storage unit such as the ROM 18 or the RAM 19 for music to be reserved for recording determined by the user based on the reservation list information received from the server 20. For each song, a song ID, song name, artist, start date and time, and end date and time are stored. The terminal 10 performs reservation recording control based on the reservation list 51.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of the contents of the recorded list 52 generated in the terminal 10. The recorded list 52 is a list of songs recorded at least by broadcast reception in the terminal, and is a data table held in a storage unit such as the ROM 18 or the RAM 19. The recorded list 52 registers the music ID, artist name, music name, and music length for each music. The registered contents are not limited to these, and other items may be registered instead of or in addition to any of these items.

  Hereinafter, an operation example of each unit in the present system will be described with reference to a flowchart and a screen example.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the recording reservation process of the terminal 10. In order to make a recording reservation, the terminal 10 first specifies a song to be recorded in accordance with a user instruction (S1). This specific method may have various aspects as follows.
(A) A user selects a target music piece by a search means such as a keyword search provided from a server by web information or the like. This selection can be performed by accepting a user input instruction by displaying an operation screen as shown in FIG. 9 as a user interface on the terminal 10, for example. The input field 61 is an input field for a character string to be a keyword, and the radio button group 62 is an option for selecting a keyword attribute. In this example, a song name or an artist name can be selected as a keyword. Another set of radio buttons 63 is an option for designating the genre of music.
(B) The user selects a target music from a hierarchical music menu (not shown) provided by the web information or the like from the server.
(C) For the registered user, the server generates recommended reservation list information based on the information reported by the user or the history information of the past request, and provides it to the user by data distribution means such as push distribution or e-mail. Push distribution is a technique for forcibly distributing content from a server to a terminal. If the user of the terminal permits it in advance, the content is automatically sent from the server. Similar results can be obtained by automatically accessing a specific WEB site (URL) periodically by processing on the terminal side.
(D) For example, the recommended reservation list information of the music (group) unilaterally selected on the server side, such as new music information, is transmitted to the terminal by data distribution means such as push distribution or e-mail. In this case, the recommended reservation list information selected on the server side based on the information reported by the user or the history information of the past request may be used as the recommended reservation list information.

  The server requests the broadcast channel and date / time information (reservation list information) of the specified music (S2). Next, reservation list information is received from the server (S3). Based on the received reservation list information, a reservation list is determined (S4). For example, a user interface screen of a terminal as shown in FIG. 10 can be used. This example shows an example of reservation list information returned from the server when searching by artist name. A song to be added to the reservation list is selected by inserting a check in the corresponding check box according to the instruction of the “select” button for the presented song name, and this content is added to the reservation list by an instruction of the “reservation” button. Determined as additional content. Further, a recording timer is set based on the determined reservation list, and the recording standby mode is entered (S5).

  FIG. 11 shows a screen example of a recording reservation list that can be displayed on the terminal 10. This is to display a part of the contents of the reservation list 51 in FIG. 6 (in this example, artist name and song name) so that the user can recognize the currently reserved song. A number 65 is added to each piece of music. This number 65 represents the number of reservations made for different channels or dates and times for the same music piece. This display is not essential, but if it exists, the user can determine the ease of obtaining the music based on this number. For example, the larger this number, the more opportunities for the user to record the music, and it is predicted that the recording will be performed more reliably.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating a processing example of the server in the present embodiment. When the music menu request is received from the terminal (S11), the music menu is transmitted to the terminal (S12). When the inquiry for specifying the target music as described above is received from the terminal (S13), the music database 203 is referenced to search for the music corresponding to the inquiry (S14). The search result is transmitted to the terminal (S15). If the request from the terminal is a reservation list information request (S16), the broadcast information database 204 is referred to and it is searched whether or not the music is scheduled to be broadcast within a predetermined period from now (S17). If the music is scheduled to be broadcast (S18), the broadcast channel and broadcast date information are extracted, and reservation list information including these information is generated (S19). If the reservation list information is generated, the reservation list information is transmitted to the terminal as a search result (S20).

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating a processing example of reservation list determination in the terminal 10 corresponding to step S4 in FIG. This process is a process for creating or updating the reservation list 51 (FIG. 6) when the user gives an instruction to add a new reservation list record (S21). When the terminal receives the reservation list information, it is checked whether or not there is a reservation list in the current terminal (S22), and if it does not exist, a new reservation list is created (S23). Once the reservation list has been created, it is sufficient to create the reservation list once in order to save the reservation list even if the number of list records specifying the reservation target music becomes zero. If the reservation list is deleted when the number of list records becomes 0, the reservation list is created again when a new list record is added. Next, it is checked whether there is a free storage capacity for recording music by adding a new list record (S24). This can be done by comparing the required storage capacity estimated based on the length of the music to be recorded and the free storage capacity. If it is determined that the storage capacity is sufficient (S25), a reservation list record is added to the reservation list (S27). Otherwise, the terminal user is notified by a message output (for example, display) that there is not enough free storage capacity (S26).

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a processing example of the recording standby mode in the terminal corresponding to step S5 of FIG. In this process, the arrival of the broadcast start date and time of the list record registered in the reservation list is monitored.

  When the broadcast start date and time of any song is reached (S31), the free storage capacity is checked in the same manner as described above (S32). If the free storage capacity is not sufficient (S33), a message is output to inform the user to that effect (S41), and only the list record of the music is deleted from the reserved list (S42). This is because the broadcast start date and time of this list record no longer appears and becomes unnecessary.

  If the storage capacity is sufficient, the broadcast receiver is turned on and channel selection (tuner tuning) is performed (S34). Therefore, recording of the music broadcast on the channel is started (S35). Thereafter, when the broadcast end date / time of the music is reached (S36), the recording is stopped (S37). Also, the operation of the broadcast receiving unit is turned off (S38). The broadcast receiving unit can reduce the power consumption of the terminal by turning on the operation only during the recording period. As described above, the recording can be performed by converting the received analog signal into digital data, then converting the data into data of a predetermined file format, and storing the data in a storage unit such as a ROM or a RAM.

  Subsequent to step S38, the list record of the music is deleted from the reserved list (S39). At that time, if a plurality of list records are registered for the same music piece, all of them are deleted. This is because all the list records are no longer necessary since the purpose of the reserved recording of the music has been achieved. Further, the music information is added to the recorded list 52 (FIG. 7).

  FIG. 15 shows an example of a screen for letting the user know the contents of the recorded list 52. In this example, the artist name and song name of the recorded song are shown. From this recorded list screen, it is possible to play a specific music piece or delete a list record.

  FIG. 16 shows a flowchart of a reservation list record deletion process performed with time in the terminal. This process is executed periodically (for example, once a day to several days). The list record registered in the reservation list 51 needs to be automatically deleted regardless of a user instruction in a predetermined case. The first case is when the intended recording is performed. The second case is a case where recording cannot be performed at a date and time designated for some reason for a certain list record, for example, the terminal is turned off at the broadcasting date and time reserved for recording. This includes a case where the broadcast reception unit 14 checks the broadcast reception state and does not record when the reception state is below a predetermined level.

  First, the current date and time is confirmed by the clock unit 8 (FIG. 2) (S51). Therefore, the broadcast start date and time of each list record in the reservation list 51 is checked, and compared with the current date and time, it is checked whether or not there is a list record whose broadcast start date has passed (S52). If it does not exist, this process is terminated.

  If it exists, the list record of the music in the reservation list is deleted (S53). However, if the list record of the same music no longer exists in the reserved list after being deleted (S54), the user is notified of that fact and alerted (S55).

  FIG. 17 is a timing diagram showing an example of a reservation status for recording a plurality of music pieces. In this example, in a certain terminal, for example, when the terminal is powered off, the reserved music No. 1 assumes the case where recording was not possible between the broadcast start date and time t1 and the end date and time t2. Thereafter, the terminal is turned on, and the reserved music No. 1 is recorded between time t3 and time t4. 2 was recorded. In addition, the reserved music No. that could not be recorded first. 1 has been reserved for recording from time t5 to time t7. 1 was recorded. For this period, the reserved music No. Since the period from t6 to t8 is reserved for 3 with a partial overlap, the latter reservation was not executed. Reserved music No. For 3, the recording was made in the subsequent period t9 to t10. Thus, by giving a plurality of recording opportunities for the same musical piece, the possibility of obtaining the musical piece within the unit period increases.

  Although an example in which reservation periods are overlapped is shown as a list record in the reservation list here, such registration may be excluded when registering in the reservation list. In this case, as a priority order of registration, a predetermined one (for example, one that occurs first) is given priority. However, the priority order may be changed according to the presence of another list record of the same music piece. For example, when there is no other list record of the same musical piece and there is a conflict, a priority is given to the one without it.

  FIG. 18 shows a flowchart of an example of processing for presenting recommended music information from the server to the registered user. This process is not based on a direct request from a registered user, but relates to a service that works on a registered user from the server side regularly or irregularly to recommend reservation recording of music. As a premise, the user registers personal information for using this service. Further, at that time, by responding to a questionnaire or the like, preference information such as the music genre and artist that the user likes is provided to the server side. Instead of or in addition to the user providing the preference information to the server, the server side may store past history information for which the registered user's reservation list information is requested.

In the process of FIG. 18, first, one registered user is extracted (S61), and recommended music is determined based on the history information or report information of the registered user (S62). The broadcast information database 204 is referred to based on the recommended music and the corresponding channel and date / time information is searched (S63). The music obtained as a result of the search is used as a recommended music, and recommended reservation list information including the recommended music is transmitted to the registered user (S64). This step can be executed using the data delivery means such as push delivery and e-mail described above. Such processing is repeatedly executed for all registered users (S65).

  FIG. 19 shows a flowchart of an example of a reservation list update process on the terminal side corresponding to the process of FIG.

  When the recommended reservation list information is received from the server in step S64 of FIG. 18 (S71), the recommended reservation list information is presented to the user on the display screen of the display unit 6, and the user's operation is accepted (S72). FIG. 20 shows an example of such a display screen. In this example, the artist name and the song name of the recommended song are displayed in a list, and the list record of the song is added to the reserved list by inserting a check in the checkbox for the desired song and instructing the “reserve” button. Can be done. The “Close” button is an operation button for closing this screen.

  Returning to FIG. 19, if there is no reservation instruction and a “close” button is instructed in step S72, the screen of FIG. 20 is closed and the process is terminated. If there is a reservation instruction, the free storage capacity is checked (S74). If there is not enough free storage capacity (S75), a message is output as described above (S77), and this process ends. If the storage capacity is sufficient, the recommended reserved list information of the instructed music is added to the reserved list as a new list record (S76).

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but various modifications and changes other than those mentioned above can be made. For example, the storage unit for storing the music is exemplified by a memory such as a ROM or a RAM, but may include other storage means such as an MD recorder, a tape recorder, and a DVD recorder. Although only the music has been described as the recording target, a video (for example, a promotion video) accompanying the music may be received and recorded together with the music. The present invention is suitable for application to analog broadcasting, but does not exclude application to digital broadcasting.
