DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

Reference numeral 10 is a request receiving device, a block diagram of which is shown in FIG.

The request receiving device 10 comprises a personal computer body 12, a display 14, a keyboard 15, and a printer 16.

Inside the personal computer body 12, a control unit 20 which is a CPU, a storage device 22, and a modem 1 for performing communication.
8 are provided. The storage device 22 includes a hard disk device, an FD device, a CD-ROM device, and a DVD device.

The modem 18 has a telephone line or ISDN.
A line is connected so that personal computers can communicate with each other.
This connection may be wired or wireless.

Broadcast stations for television and radio have a bulletin board set up on a network such as the Internet (trademark), Nifty (trademark), and PCVAN (trademark) for each program or for each broadcast station. . Then, the address of the bulletin board is broadcast to viewers by radio or television broadcasting, and requests are collected. The bulletin board address may be placed in newspapers and magazines.

The viewer makes a request to the address using a personal computer or the like owned by the viewer. In this case, the user's name (or pen name), address, and comment may be added at the same time as the requested song title.

The operation state of the request receiving device 10 under the above conditions will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In step 1, the person in charge of the program of the broadcasting station uses the request receiving device 10 to receive the electronic mail received on the bulletin board opened by himself / herself via the modem 18. In this case, if the program is broadcast every day, the reception interval is daily, and if the program is broadcast once a week, the reception is performed once a week.

The e-mail may be extracted from the bulletin board manually by the person in charge of the program, but the personal computer body 12 may automatically access and receive the e-mail.

In step 2, only the song title of music is extracted from the electronic mail received in step 1. That is, since the name and comment of the person making the request are added to the e-mail, only the music title is extracted from the e-mail.

In the case of a CD, if the special code is [,], if it is described as [ABCD] in the e-mail document,
This is a method in which the control unit 20 recognizes ABCD in the [,] as the music title.

It should be noted that the fact that it is enclosed by this special code is posted on the bulletin board to inform the viewer.

The second extraction method will be described.

Similarly, when the song title is ABCD, if "I request ABCD." In the e-mail document, it is a method of recognizing ABCD as the song title from the meaning of the sentence.

These methods are programmed and established as software, and stored in advance in a storage medium such as an FD or a CD-ROM. And if you install it on a commercially available computer, anyone can easily extract the song name.

The extraction method is not limited to the above method, and other methods may be used.

Then, this music title is extracted for each e-mail, a list of requested music titles is created and stored in the storage device 22, and this list is displayed on the display 14 and displayed on the printer 16. You may print it out.

In step 3, a song to be played in the program on that day is selected from the extracted song names. That is, when there are many requests, it is necessary to limit the songs that can be played on that day. There are the following methods for selecting this song.
