The music file providing system 1 according to the present invention comprises a music file providing server 2, a radio broadcasting server 3, and a user portable communication terminal 4.

The music file providing server 2 receives music file information of a music file broadcast through a radio from a plurality of radio broadcasting server servers 3 through a network. The music file information received from the individual broadcasting station server 3 includes information such as the broadcast start time, broadcast end time, song name, and artist name for the individual music file. In addition, a user is requested to download a music file currently being broadcast by a specific broadcasting station through wireless Internet communication from the user's mobile communication terminal 4 and provides a corresponding music file.

The radio station server 3 broadcasts a music file to radio listeners. Basically, the radio station server 3 posts a broadcast schedule composed of basic program order through the homepage. In addition, each program of the radio broadcast provides a selection table consisting of the order of songs to be broadcast in accordance with the proceeding script through the homepage. This music selection table consists of a broadcast order, a song name, and a singer name.

Preferably, in the present invention, in order for the music file providing server 2 to provide the user with the music file currently being broadcast through the radio, the operator of the music file providing server 2 selects through the network through a contract with a plurality of broadcasters. The table is basically provided before the broadcast, and additionally, the music file information including the broadcast time and song information is provided in real time in the course of the broadcast.

The user portable communication terminal 4 includes a terminal such as a mobile phone and a PDA, to which a basic cellular phone function and a wireless Internet communication are available, and a radio receiving function and an MP3 player function are added. If the user wants to download the music file currently being broadcast while the mobile communication terminal 4 is tuned to the frequency of a specific radio station and is listening to music, the user connects to the music file providing server 2 via a wireless Internet connection and is currently broadcasting. Request to provide music file and receive. The music file downloaded by the user can be listened to at any time using the MP3 playback function of the mobile communication terminal 4.

Preferably, the user portable communication terminal 4 has a built-in control program provided from the music file providing server 3. The control program stores a broadcasting station identification number corresponding to a radio frequency currently received by the user, and allows one-click wireless Internet access to the predefined music file providing server 3 according to a user's specific hotkey input. The hotkey can include at least one button input. When the user selects a hotkey, the user transmits download request information including a broadcasting station identification number of the music that the user is currently listening to via the radio. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the broadcasting station identification number is a broadcasting station frequency.

2 shows a configuration of a music file providing server 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The music file providing server 2 of the present invention includes a music file searching unit 21, a wireless Internet receiving unit 22, a music file transmitting unit 23, a music file information DB 211, and a music file DB 212. do.

The music file information DB 211 stores music file information received by the music file providing server 2 from the radio broadcasting server 3 through the network (1). The music file information may be signed in advance with the broadcaster and receive information such as the order of the radio program and the broadcast time before the broadcast. For example, a data format is defined with each broadcaster to receive music file information data through TCP / IP communication. In addition, the broadcaster DB and the music file information DB 211 may be linked by the DB to DB method, or the broadcast progress information may be received in advance through e-mail. Also, the music file information may be stored in the music file information DB 211 in real time when a broadcast of a specific music file is started in a radio station. The music file information DB 211 includes a data item as in Example 1 below, but is not necessarily limited thereto. The broadcast start time and broadcast end time indicate the broadcast time of the song name.

[Example 1]

Music file information DB = broadcasting station identification number (frequency) + program identification number + broadcasting start time + broadcasting end time + song name + artist life

The music file DB 212 is a DB in which a sound source file is stored, and includes a data item as in Example 2 below, but is not necessarily limited thereto.

[Example 2]

Music file DB = music file identification number + song name + artist name + data size + play time + sound source file

When the music file information is stored in the music file information DB 211, the music file search unit 212 inquires the music file from the music file DB 212 by the song name and the singer name (2). In order to provide a faster download service to the user, it is preferable that the music file providing server 2 inquires in advance the music file currently being broadcast by each broadcasting station and prepares it in a temporary table. The temporary table includes data items as in Example 3 below, but is not necessarily limited thereto.

[Example 3]

Temporary table = broadcasting station identification number + broadcasting start time + broadcasting end time + song name + song name + sound source file

If the wireless Internet receiver 22 inputs a hot key of the mobile communication terminal 4 when the user wants to purchase the music currently broadcast while receiving the radio from the mobile communication terminal 4, the wireless Internet from the user mobile communication terminal 4 Receive a connection (③). Then, download request information is received from the mobile communication terminal 4 (4). The download request information includes an item as in Example 4 below, but is not necessarily limited thereto.

[Example 4]

Download Request Information = Terminal Phone Number + Station Frequency + Request Time

The music file transmitting unit 23 analyzes the broadcasting station frequency and the request time from the download request information of the user, and the payment guide information including the broadcasting station information, the song information, and the fee information of the music file which the music file searching unit 21 pre-inquired.
