If the tempo information or the type information of the requested music information for exercise is registered in advance in the music reproducing device 10, a request signal including such information is transmitted via the first communication means 18. . If the CPU 11 determines in step S101 that the communication strength is not equal to or greater than the predetermined value (S101: NO), the process proceeds to step S107 described below.

  Following the processing in step S102, the CPU 11 executes music information reception processing (S103). Specifically, based on the request signal transmitted in step S102, the music information distributed from the music distribution device 20 is received through the first communication means 18.

  After the process of step S103, the CPU 11 executes a process of storing the music information received in the process of step S103 in the first music information storage area (S104). In the process of step S104, the music information received in the process of step S103 is stored in the music information DB 1411 in association with the acquired date / time information. In addition, the item of the reproduction flag corresponding to the acquired music information stores 0 until it is reproduced.

  Next, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the number of songs in the storage area of the first song information has reached a predetermined number (S105). Specifically, when the music information acquired in the process of step S104 is additionally stored in the music information DB 1411, it is determined whether or not the number of songs has reached a predetermined number (for example, 10 songs) or more. If the CPU 11 determines that the predetermined number is not exceeded (S105: NO), the CPU 11 next determines whether or not music information can be selected from the first music information storage area 141 (S107). Specifically, it is determined whether or not music information that can be reproduced is stored in the music information DB 1411 in the first music information storage area 141. Here, in the case where there is music information in which the reproduction plug item of the music information stored in the music information DB 1411 is 0, it is preferentially selected, but the reproduction flag is 1 in all cases. Even in this case, the data may be reproduced in the order in which they are stored.

  If the CPU 11 determines in the process of step S105 that the number of songs in the first music information storage area 141 has reached a predetermined number (S105: YES), then reproduction in the first music information storage area is performed. The music information with the oldest acquisition date is deleted (S106). In other words, in the process of step S105, if the number of songs exceeds a predetermined number when new song information is added to the song information DB 1411 of the first song information storage area 141, The music information with the oldest acquisition date information is deleted. In the case of FIG. 5 in the present embodiment, the reproduction flag is 1, and A1, which is the music information with the oldest acquisition date, is deleted.

  If it is determined in step S107 that the music information can be selected from the first music information storage area 141 (S107: YES), the CPU 11 next executes a music information reproduction process (S109). In the process of step S109, the music information selected in the process of step S107 is played back via the playback means 19 so that the user can hear it. When the process of step S109 is executed, if the item of the reproduction flag in the music information DB 1411 is 0, the process of updating to 1 is also executed.

  In the process of step S107, if the CPU 11 determines that the music information cannot be selected from the first music information storage area 141 (S107: NO), next, from the second music information storage area 142, Music information is selected (S108). Specifically, a process of selecting music information stored in advance in the music information DB 1421 of the second music information storage area 142, for example, in order of acquisition date and time, is executed.

  Then, after the process of step S109, the CPU 11 determines whether there is an instruction to end the application (S110). In the process of step S110, it is determined whether or not there is an operation instruction to end the activated exercise music reproduction application by the operation of the user who is exercising. If the CPU 11 determines in the process of step S110 that there is no application termination instruction (S110: NO), it returns to the process of step S100 again and repeats the subsequent processes. Further, in the process of step S110, when the CPU 11 determines that there is an application termination instruction (S110: YES), the process is terminated.

  Next, a music distribution process executed in the music distribution device 20 will be described with reference to FIG. The music distribution process shown in FIG. 8 is a process executed by the CPU 21 in accordance with a program stored in the ROM 22.

  First, the CPU 21 determines whether a request signal has been received (S300). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the request signal transmitted in the process of step S <b> 102 in the music playback device 10 has been received by the second communication unit 24. If the CPU 21 determines in the process of step S300 that it has not received (S300: NO), it repeatedly executes the process of step S300. If it is determined in step S300 that the request signal has been received (S300: YES), the CPU 21 acquires tempo information and type information included in the request signal (S301). In the present embodiment, the tempo information and the type information are described so as to be received by being included in the request signal. However, when the WEB site program 304 of FIG. 4 is being executed, the user can register from the WEB site. You may do it.

  Next, the CPU 21 selects undelivered music information from the history information (S302). Here, the music distribution history information database 2511 (hereinafter referred to as history information DB 2511) will be described with reference to FIG. The history information DB 2511 is a database stored in the storage unit 25 of the music distribution device 20, and is stored for each music reproduction device 10 that is a distribution destination and for each piece of music type information. And The history information DB 2511 stores music identification information and delivery date / time items in association with each other. The music identification information is information for identifying the music information, and the distribution date / time stores the date / time information distributed to the music reproducing apparatus 10. In addition, information indicating undelivered is stored in the item of distribution date and time of undelivered music information. For example, in the history information DB 2511 shown in FIG. 9, it is assumed that the music identification information A1 to A10 have already been distributed, and the music identification information A11 and A12 have not yet been distributed.

  Therefore, in the process of step S302, the CPU 21 selects undelivered music information from the music information corresponding to the type information acquired in step S301, and executes a tempo adjustment process for the next selected music information. (S303). Specifically, in the process of step S303, the process described with reference to FIG. 4 is performed using the music body WAV part data writing program 302 based on the music body MIDI data 300 and the drum base WAV data 301. A process of adjusting the tempo acquired in the process of S301 and generating the music body WAV parts data 303 is executed.

  Then, after the process of step S303, the CPU 21 executes a format conversion process (S304). Specifically, the server system program 305 shown in FIG. 3 executes processing for converting the music body WAV data 303 into, for example, the MP3 format.

  Next, the CPU 21 executes a distribution process for the music information converted in the process of step S304 (S305), and ends this process. In the process of step S305, the music information generated in the process of step S304 is transmitted to the music playback device 10 corresponding to the request signal received in the process of step S300. When the distribution process is performed in the process of step S305, a process for updating the distribution date and time in the history information DB 2511 is also executed.

  Therefore, by performing the music reproduction process (FIG. 7) and the music distribution process (FIG. 8) of the present embodiment described above, a user who makes a moving exercise carries the music reproduction device 10 and exercises. In this case, according to the state of the communication line with the music distribution device 20 that distributes the music information for exercise, the music information for exercise stored in the music information playback device for exercise 10 is reproduced while being controlled in an optimum state. Can do. Furthermore, since the music information for exercise is maintained at the set number of songs, the new music information for exercise can be acquired and reproduced by deleting the music information for exercise with the old acquisition date and time. Further, even if the communication state of the communication line temporarily deteriorates, it is possible to perform a moving exercise while reproducing the music information for exercise in an appropriate state until the communication state is improved. Moreover, since the music information for exercise of the tempo corresponding to a movement exercise | movement can be acquired, a movement exercise | movement can be performed, reproducing the music information for exercises more suitable for an exercise | movement. Moreover, since the music information for exercise of the user's favorite type can be acquired, it is possible to perform a moving exercise while reproducing the music information for exercise more suitable for the user's preference.

  In addition, it cannot be overemphasized that the structure and process shown by this embodiment demonstrated above are an illustration, and various deformation | transformation are possible. For example, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the music information is controlled by dividing the music information DB 1411 and the music information DB 1421 into the first music information storage area 141 and the second music information storage area 142, respectively. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, even if they are stored together in one music information DB, a flag may be set so that the music information to be deleted in step S106 (FIG. 7) is known.

  In the present embodiment, the music information generated in the process of step S305 is described as being transmitted in units of music. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the authentication information of the music to be transmitted and the part information obtained by dividing one music into a plurality of parts may be transmitted in order as in the streaming method that has been conventionally performed. Further, in the process of step S305, it may be possible to select whether transmission is performed in units of music or transmission is performed based on a fee structure selected and registered by the user.

  In the present embodiment, the first music information storage area 141 has been described so that a predetermined number of songs (10 songs in the present embodiment) can be stored. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Further, when the music reproduction processing application in the present embodiment is terminated (S110), all the music information stored in the first music information storage area 141 may be deleted. Further, if there is music information that the user wants to save in the music information stored in the first music information storage area 141 before the process of step S110 is executed, the music playback device 10 The music information to be stored may be selected by operating.
