BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention mutually couples a plurality of ring melody distribution companies each having a large number of ring melody and a user who selects and uses a desired song from the ring melody using a mobile phone via the Internet. An incoming melody advertisement agency / distribution agency that intervenes an advertising agency / distribution agency site that contracts and distributes the incoming melody of these companies in a contract with multiple delivery companies in the incoming melody delivery system that consists of About the system.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The ring melody that can be used on mobile phones has been widespread, and a large number of distribution companies, each having a large number of ring melody, are subscribed to each telephone company. Assuming that each distribution company has 100 songs per company, 70 companies have 7000 songs, and the number is actually enormous and enormous. There are many released songs, and this number is increasing.
[0003]
An example of a distribution system is to use a mobile phone monitor to select a network function from the standby screen, select a menu, and select an incoming melody item from the information collection function for sound and images. A list of melody distribution companies can be obtained, and a desired song can be selected by selecting a distribution company and following the guidance.
[0004]
However, because there are a large number of incoming melody distribution companies registered and registered with each telephone company, only about 8 distribution companies can be introduced per page on the screen of a mobile phone monitor. However, there is an unfairness that only the first page is prioritized and used, and the distributors listed on the subsequent pages are not visible.
[0005]
Also, from the user's point of view, the contents of the ringtones held by each company are unknown, so there is no way to check them, so they have to select them and cannot find the songs they really want to hear. There is a point.
[0006]
Although each distribution company has a large number of songs, there are many original products that can be claimed for copyright. That is, there is a high possibility that the incoming melody that is originally searched for is buried in other distribution companies that cannot be searched. Users are still unsatisfied with only those of the distribution companies listed on the top page, and it is impossible to search for all of the distribution companies, and dissatisfaction remains.
[0007]
An example of a conventional ringing melody distribution method is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2000-278448 (mobile phone ringing melody distribution method and device), in which a melody of a released new song is input in a timely manner to suit the user's preference. A distribution method and apparatus for setting a melody of a new song as a ringing melody on a mobile phone at a low cost has been introduced. That is, a step of making a call from the information terminal to the database via the telephone line, a step of checking whether or not the home information terminal is registered on the database side and returning a permission signal, and the home information terminal Requesting the list, sending the song list from the database, receiving the song list on the home information terminal and displaying it on the TV monitor screen, and selecting from the song list using the remote controller Specify the song and request the song data, the database sends the song data, and the home information terminal receives the song data and displays it on the screen of the TV monitor with characters corresponding to the keys of the mobile phone A method for distributing ringtones for mobile phones, which includes a step and a step of inputting song data displayed on the screen to a mobile phone using a key, has been introduced.
[0008]
The ringing melody distribution method disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2000-278448 eliminates the hassle of inputting the score of a new song written in a conventional book into a mobile phone as code data, and is shown on a large TV monitor screen. The song list can be easily entered into a mobile phone, and although it is different from the purpose of the present invention, the number of songs including released songs is enormous, and the melody distribution method has various problems. It is included.
[0009]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, the conventional incoming melody distribution system has a problem in that it causes great unfairness among distribution companies and reduces the desire to produce a good melody. In addition, the operation is complicated on the user side, and the melody that is really desired cannot be searched well.
[0011]
Therefore, the present invention really follows the conventional incoming melody distribution system, eliminates unfairness among distribution companies, improves the willingness to produce good melody, and really wants the user side to have good operability. An object is to provide an incoming melody advertising agency / distribution agency system that can easily search for melodies.
[0012]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The ringtone melody advertising agency / distribution agency system of the present invention that can solve the above-mentioned problem is a plurality of ringtone melody distribution companies each having a large number of ringtones and a desired ringtone from the ringtones using a mobile phone. An advertisement that contracts with multiple distribution companies in a ring melody distribution system that connects users who select and use one of the songs to each other via the Internet, collects the ring melody that these companies have, and distributes them. An incoming melody advertisement agency / distribution agency system through an agency / distribution agency website,
The advertising agency / distribution agency site has a comprehensive list storage means for holding and organizing a large number of songs of the incoming melody distribution company for each distribution company;
Based on the search of the user's advertising agency / distribution agency site, the program guide means for performing the overall optimal guidance that is scheduled to finally specify the program;
For a song designated via the song guide means, all the distribution companies that own the song are listed in a fair procedure, and the music selection and selection means for allowing the user to designate an arbitrary distribution company is provided. And
The specified music of the distribution company specified by the user is provided directly or indirectly to the user.
[0013]
The incoming melody advertising agency / distribution agency site performed in the present invention deposits incoming melody held by each distribution company under a contract with each distribution company, sorts and holds each distribution company, and selects users It is a role to guide the music selected based on the song fairly.
[0014]
Since the main purpose of the advertising agency / distribution agency site is to provide fair guidance, actual data distribution may be executed at the selected distribution company's site. I do not care.
[0015]
Since the user wants to introduce a good melody to the user, it can be advertised by the Internet or a book outside the system. This advertisement may be performed by an advertising agency that operates an advertising agency / distribution agency site, or may be performed individually by each distribution company. In short, it is possible to smoothly guide an invisible melody by selecting a piece of music obtained through advertisement. The name of the song is basically a name given by the creator of the melody, but may be a name given by each distribution company or advertising agency in order to give discriminating power, or may be a code name unique to the song. By selecting the company name for the same title, it is possible to maintain the fairness of each distribution company.
[0016]
Whether or not to include data of each melody in the comprehensive list storage means depends on a contract with the distribution company. In other words, since this advertising agency / distribution agency site is intended to guide the melody of each distribution company, trial listening and distribution of actual data can be executed on the site of each distribution company. In short, the contents of the data stored in the general list storage means can be determined by linking with each distribution company.
[0017]
From the relationship of comprehensively handling incoming melody possessed by each distribution company, the program guide means plans to designate the program in the end and performs comprehensive optimum guidance. In other words, in addition to the means for directly searching for songs by inputting songs, using the guide means at each distribution company's own website, artists, movie music, TV dramas, TV commercials, classical music, jazz, hip hop In addition to genre such as folk songs, the best guidance is given as much as possible including the classification of last week's best ten, release, etc., and finally the music is selected.
[0018]
When a plurality of distribution companies correspond to the selected song, all distribution companies are listed, and the user is allowed to select one of the companies to maintain fairness. Generally, the number of companies listed is within several companies, and it is considered that about 10 names are listed in special cases. Several distribution companies can be selected easily because they are listed.
[0019]
The melody data for each piece of music of the selected and designated distribution company can be provided to the user directly or indirectly. That is, depending on the contract with the distribution company, it is free to carry out via the distribution company site or to transfer the data deposited at this advertising agency / distribution agency site.
[0020]
As described above, the user can search for this advertising agency site and use the optimal information specified by the advertising agency / distribution agency site for all data held by all the distribution companies contracted with this advertising agency / distribution agency site. Since it is possible to search while being guided by means, it is possible to find a desired melody relatively easily from a large amount of melody. At this time, since it is not for one distribution company, it is not necessary to speculate that there is a better melody in the neighborhood, and a satisfactory result can be obtained for the user.
[0021]
In addition, since a plurality of distribution company names are listed for the melody with the same song name, it is fair. If necessary, you can test and listen to each company's melody and select the song that best suits your taste.
[0022]
Furthermore, since the distribution company is selected by the user through an advertising agency / distribution agency site having a comprehensive list storage means and program guide means that handle a plurality of distribution companies fairly, and music selection and company selection means, for example, subsequent Even if they are listed on the page, you can often get orders for good melodies. Therefore, each distribution company has no relation to one of the posted pages, and can concentrate on making good products.
[0023]
Therefore, according to the incoming melody advertising agency / distribution agency system of the present invention, if the distribution company is kept fair and has a good product, that is, a good melody, regardless of the position of the company information page in the distribution system. , Has the effect of being able to receive orders well.
[0024]
In addition, according to the present invention, the user can search for a melody for a plurality of distribution companies through an advertising agency / distribution agency site, so it is not necessary to search for a plurality of sites over time, and a large amount of melody can be searched. There is an effect that a desired melody can be easily and satisfactorily searched.
[0025]

[0041]
Next, the specific work contents of the music guide, music selection, and company selection means performed by the distribution agency site 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. First. As for the preparation procedure, the user selects a network function from a standby screen (not shown) of the mobile phone 6 to connect to the Internet, and selects a search item for an incoming melody from the top menu. The list screen 6S-1 of the distribution company shown can be called. The procedure so far has no difference from the conventional distribution system.
[0042]
In FIG. 3, by selecting the distribution agency site “Song Navi” from the list of distribution companies, the system starts operating and the initial screen 6S-2 is displayed. On this screen 6S-2, guidance methods are listed.
[0043]
In the guidance system of the present invention, it is planned to finally select a song, and “select by song”, “select by artist”, “movie music”, “TV drama”, “TV commercial”, “classic” It is shown that guidance according to genre such as “jazz”, “hip hop” can be provided. “Other” includes “best 10”, “release”, and the like.

[0045]
The above procedure is shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the guide method is selected in step 401, the process proceeds to step 402, where it is determined whether or not the music piece is directly input. If it is the music piece direct input, the process proceeds to step 403.
[0046]
When a piece of music is input in step 403, if there are a plurality of distribution companies, a company list is displayed in step 404, and a company name is selected in step 405.

For example, in selecting an artist, the artist name is input, the song is listed, and the song is selected in step 412. On the way, you can get guidance by genre.
[0051]
In movie music, there are too many candidates, so country names and other genres (action, horror, etc.) are multiplied to narrow down and select candidates. The number of candidates is 20 or less.
[0052]
Since TV dramas are large candidates, genres (manga, manzai, news, historical drama, etc.) are multiplied.
[0053]
In TV commercials, the name is not necessarily defined, so an appropriate name is given or a code name is given to perform a searchable process. This naming is matched with the naming in the advertisement on the advertising agency site 3C and the advertisement on the book. If the naming is made known by other advertising media such as books, the music piece can be directly input in step 403.

[0059]
Conventionally, the user can access the database of one distribution company 7 but can search the comprehensive list storage means 8 which is the database of the distribution agency site 4 of the present invention. You can select the best melodies with content that you can be satisfied with. Even if the names are the same, it is well known that the quality of music varies depending on various sound conditions such as performance, situation, and tempo. If the distribution agency site 4 of this invention is used here, the best melody in it can be searched.
[0060]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, can be appropriately modified without departing from the gist of the present invention, and can be implemented in various aspects.
[0061]
