In step S14, the communication control unit 71 of the smartphone 10 transmits the URL of the extracted voice data to the server 20.

In step S24, when the communication control unit 91 of the server 20 receives the URL from the smartphone 10, in step S25, the storage control unit 92 of the server 20 is stored in the storage constituting the storage unit 48 based on the URL. Identify the voice data you are using.

In addition, the storage control unit 92 generates thread data for continuously reproducing the voice data after the specified voice data in the selected thread. The thread data is configured as a playlist of voice data that is continuously played in the selected thread. Thread data also contains information that points to other theme threads associated with the selected thread.

In step S26, the communication control unit 91 of the server 20 transmits the specified voice data to the smartphone 10 together with the generated thread data. Here, a predetermined number of voice data to be reproduced after the specified voice data is transmitted to the smartphone 10 based on the playlist which is the thread data.

In step S15, the communication control unit 71 of the smartphone 10 receives the voice data and thread data from the server 20, and in step S16, the output control unit 74 reads the voice data and thread data.

In step S17, the output control unit 74 continuously reproduces the read voice data based on the thread data.

Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 9, the determination process on the smartphone 10 side, which is executed after the reproduction of the individual voice data to be continuously reproduced, will be described. The process of FIG. 9 is executed every time the reproduction of one voice data is completed.

In step S31, the output control unit 74 determines whether or not there is a predetermined number or more of the read voice data in the selection thread.

If there are a predetermined number or more of the read voice data, the process proceeds to step S32, and the output control unit 74 reproduces the next voice data.

On the other hand, if the number of read voice data is not more than a predetermined number, the process proceeds to step S33, and the output control unit 74 determines whether or not the selected thread has the remaining voice data, that is, whether or not the selected thread has unread voice data. To judge.

If the remaining voice data exists in the selected thread, the process proceeds to step S34, the communication control unit 71 requests the server 20 for the remaining voice data of the selected thread, and the output control unit 74 receives the remaining voice data. Read voice data.

After that, the process proceeds to step S32, and the next voice data is reproduced.

If there is no remaining voice data in the selected thread, the process proceeds to step S35, and the communication control unit 71 requests the server 20 for the voice data of the next thread and receives the voice data. Read the voice data of the thread.

In step S36, the output control unit 74 determines whether or not there is a predetermined number or more of thread data of the remaining threads, that is, the next thread of the next thread.

If there are a predetermined number or more of the remaining threads, the process proceeds to step S32, and the next voice data is reproduced.

On the other hand, if there are no more than a predetermined number of threads, the process proceeds to step S37, and the communication control unit 71 requests the server 20 for the remaining thread data and receives the remaining thread data, so that the output control unit 74 receives the remaining thread data. Read. After that, the process proceeds to step S32, and the next voice data is reproduced.

Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 10, the determination process on the server 20 side that is executed after the reproduction of each voice data that is continuously reproduced will be described. The process of FIG. 10 is executed corresponding to the process of the smartphone 10 side of FIG.

In step S41, the communication control unit 91 determines whether or not voice data is requested from the smartphone 10.

When voice data is requested from the smartphone 10, the process proceeds to step S42, the storage control unit 92 identifies the requested voice data, and the communication control unit 91 transmits the voice data to the smartphone 10.

On the other hand, if the voice data is not requested from the smartphone 10, step S42 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S43.

In step S43, the communication control unit 91 determines whether or not thread data has been requested from the smartphone 10.

When the thread data is requested from the smartphone 10, the process proceeds to step S44, the data management unit 93 generates the requested thread data, and the communication control unit 91 transmits the thread data to the smartphone 10.

On the other hand, if the thread data is not requested from the smartphone 10, step S44 is skipped.

FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating reading of voice data and thread data in the smartphone 10.

In the figure, the vertically long rectangle represents one thread data, of which the solid line rectangle represents the read thread data and the broken line rectangle represents the thread data before reading. The circles in the rectangle represent voice data, of which the black circles represent the read voice data and the white dotted circles represent the voice data before reading.

That is, FIG. 11 shows an example in which the voice data of the three theme threads are continuously reproduced, and the four voice data are read in the selected thread. Further, the next theme thread (thread data) of the selected thread has been read, while the next theme thread (thread data) has not been read yet.

In such a state, for example, as shown at time T1, the determination processing of FIGS. 9 and 10 is executed every time the reproduction of the voice data is completed.

At time T2, although the reproduction of all the read voice data is completed, the remaining voice data exists in the selected thread, so that the remaining voice data of the selected thread is read before time T2 (FIG. 9). Step S34).

At time T3, since there is no remaining voice data in the selected thread, the voice data of the next thread is read before time T3 (step S35 in FIG. 9).

Similarly, at time T4, since the remaining threads (read thread data) have decreased, the unread thread data (thread data before reading) is read (step S37 in FIG. 9).

According to the above processing, every time the reproduction of one voice data is completed, the voice data and the thread data to be reproduced are acquired and read in advance. As a result, the voice data is continuously reproduced on the smartphone 10, and the user can enjoy the voices of various people at a good tempo.

<3. Recording and posting voice data ＞
