According to the list of recommended songs to be provided. In addition, if necessary, according to age, sex, and stores the recommended songs. The webpage database 530 stores webpages for various information and recommended song services. Since the webpages are well known in the art, detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted. The map database 540 bundles and stores a place corresponding to the location information in predetermined area units. For example, location information of a predetermined area may be bundled to correspond to Bulguksa, and narrow areas may be narrowly narrow and wide areas may be broadly bundled.

The connection unit 400 serves as an interface for communicating with the mobile communication terminal 100 through the base station 110, the base station controller 120, the exchange 130, and the network 300, and displays a web page or Member authentication can be performed. Since the role of such a connection is well known in the art, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The music information providing unit 200 includes a recommendation song providing unit 210, a recommendation song selecting unit 220, an updater 230, and a searcher 240. The recommendation song selecting unit 220 transmits a recommendation song list corresponding to the location information to the mobile communication terminal 100 through the connection unit 400, and provides the selected recommendation song to the recommendation song providing unit 210. . The recommendation song providing unit 210 may download the selected recommendation song to the mobile communication terminal 100 or download it in a streaming manner. In addition, the recommendation song providing unit 210 may download the selected recommendation song in various ways. The updater 230 may update the recommendation music database 520 that the corresponding song has been downloaded from the corresponding place after the download is performed, and, if necessary, may determine whether to update the song according to the selection of the mobile communication terminal 100.

The search unit 240 allows a user to search for a desired song if there is no recommendation song or if the recommended song is not satisfactory, and can search by lyrics, singer name, song title, and the like.

2 is a detailed view of a mobile communication terminal.

2, the mobile communication terminal,

An antenna 20 for wirelessly receiving a predetermined signal from a base station of an external network; A transmitter / receiver 13 for processing a signal received by the antenna; A keyboard unit 50 for receiving a user's selection; A memory 11 which is a storage device for storing basic information of the terminal; A GPS system 80 which receives a satellite signal from a GPS satellite and calculates and outputs its current position; A camera unit 50 for capturing an image; Receives current location information from the GPS system 80, transmits the location information, basic information and selection information of the terminal to the music information providing system according to the selection information of the keyboard unit 50, and receives the received music. A microcomputer 12 which controls to reproduce the information; An audio unit which processes music information according to the control of the microcomputer 12; A speaker 30 for outputting an audio file of the audio unit as voice; A microphone 40 which receives a voice and delivers it to the audio unit 14;

A display device 60 for displaying data under the control of the microcomputer 12 is included.

The basic information of the terminal may include a serial number of the terminal, unique code information, telephone number information of the terminal.

The operation of the music information providing system according to the embodiment of the present invention having such a configuration will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 as follows.

3 is an operation flowchart of a music information providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, first, a user accesses the music information providing system 200 using a menu of the keyboard unit 50 of his mobile communication terminal 100 (S310).

Then, the connection unit 400 reads and displays a web page about the service from the web page database 530 without membership authentication or membership authentication as necessary (S320). Such display information is actually displayed on the display device 60 of the mobile communication terminal 100. Since such communication technology is well known in the art, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Next, it is assumed that the user of the mobile communication terminal 100 selects a desired service by looking at the screen, and in particular, selects a recommended music information receiving service. Then, the microcomputer 12 transmits the location information of the terminal and the basic information of the terminal received from the GPS system 80 to the music information providing system 200 in response to the input of the keyboard unit 50 (S330).

Next, the recommendation song selection unit 220 receives the basic information and the location information of the terminal from the terminal 100 through the connection unit 400, and recommends a music recommendation or a list of several recommended songs corresponding to the location information in the recommended music database. Read in step 520 to provide (S340). If necessary, it is possible to provide a recommendation song immediately without selecting a recommendation song. In addition, if necessary, the user may provide a recommendation song by providing a list of recommended songs according to gender or age.

Then, the terminal user selects a desired recommendation from among the recommended songs or the recommended songs list displayed on the display device 60, or selects the recommended songs to listen to or downloads the recommended songs (S350). At this time, it is possible to select a desired song from the recommended songs using an application such as a wireless Internet browser or WIPI.

Then, the recommendation song providing unit 210 transmits the selected recommendation song to the corresponding mobile communication terminal with reference to the basic information (S360), and the microcomputer 12 of the mobile communication terminal 100 is the audio unit 14 and the speaker. The music is output through the 30 (S370).

Meanwhile, the updater 230 updates the recommended music database 520 that the corresponding song has been downloaded from the place after the download is made (S380).

According to this update, as the number of downloads of recommended songs increases in the corresponding place, the ranking increases in the list of recommended songs. Recommended songs are within a predetermined number of 5 to 10, depending on the convenience, can be adjusted. And, if necessary, even when playing a song already downloaded, the microcomputer 12 transmits the position information to update the recommended song list, and can rank the actual songs.

In addition, the searcher 240 may allow the user to search for a desired song when there is no recommendation song or when the recommendation song is not satisfactory, and may search by lyrics, singer name, song title, and the like.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
