Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method of co-creating and publishing a music work by a computer system operating on an information communication network, and in particular, a so-called artist who performs a creative activity and a producer who produces it, in a studio space, resources, and an established music market. This technology is related to the technology to realize the joint production of music works without being bound by the framework, border, race, language, etc.
[0002]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Artists aiming for a major debut are struggling on the streets or in live houses every day, continuing to beat the drums, or striking the three lines and singing hot songs. However, there are not many who can recognize their musicality and make a debut. They play and record original songs and cover songs at home using simple recording equipment or at a high fee in the studio, and continue to send the finished demo tapes to the record company. So it's fine for the directors and producers to see it, but even if there are others who find value in the music work, the music work they create is just destined to be buried in the world as a hobby. there were.
[0003]
On the other hand, there are many people who want music, all over the world, regardless of professional amateurs, and the music genre they want and the tastes of the instruments and equipment they use vary greatly. They don't want to be relaxed only in their music world, but they meet other artists and collaborate (co-production, co-performance) to stimulate their musicality further and develop in an unexpected direction. I often want to get it. New collaborations often create new musical works.
[0004]
This desire is the same for amateur artists who are aiming for debut, as well as professional artists who have already established their fame. For example, it may be considered that it is an opportunity to break their musical shell, On the other hand, it may be seen as an opportunity to meet the band members of the lacking part. In any case, they will search for the partner to realize the collaboration. In that case, wait for the introduction of the collaborating partner by the person, publish an article in the magazine, recruit a collaborating partner with a sticker in a live house, etc., or apply for it to find the partner Do. On top of that, they actually face each other and work together to compose and perform music to create music works.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, there are various problems in the production environment surrounding the artist as described above. Music works produced by artists are rarely published outside the framework of the existing domestic music market built by record companies, music publishers, and production. As long as you are bound by this framework, only songs with trendy tunes that are likely to be highly marketable in that framework are selectively published, and the taste should be rich in variety for each person or country or race In fact, mismatches are starting to occur, and there are a lot of consumers who get bored. Above all, it is difficult for artists themselves to pursue the music they really want, and it is certainly hard to act freely as an “artist”. In other words, there was almost no environment where you could freely create the music you really wanted to make and publish it widely across countries and regions.
[0006]
Also, when producing music works, the studios that can be used, the facilities and functions, and the usage time are greatly influenced by the resources of artists and record companies, and directly affect the quality and production cost of the completed music works. There was a situation. Especially for an amateur artist who cannot expect a backup from a record company, the cost of using the studio and the cost of equipment are heavy, which has been a drag on music activities. In countries and regions where there are few music production facilities such as studios, production activities themselves become very difficult, and even if there are people with excellent musicality, their talents There was also a risk of making them useless.
[0007]
When it comes to collaboration, finding other artists that may actually match your tastes and musicality with a technique that is at most similar to that of a magazine is difficult for people to understand. "It's a difficult task because of its character." If it is an artist who is located overseas and has few opportunities to touch the music work, or a folk music player from a distant country who rarely hears it, it will be very difficult to obtain clues to find out.
[0008]
Eventually, one of the artists had to go directly to the site, search, and actually collaborate. Even in this case, if the artists live in remote areas, it would be difficult to repeat the process of making the actual sound together face to face, both economically and temporally. It was difficult to finish. It was very complicated for the artist, and the problem was great both in terms of time and cost.
[0009]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and artists and producers can be adapted to musicality without being bound by professional amateurs, studio spaces and resources, frameworks of existing music markets, countries, races, languages, etc. The purpose is to provide a method that allows them to tie together and publish their music works together.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
=== System overview ===
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing a system for jointly producing and publishing music works and the like according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a relational diagram showing the flow of information handled in the configuration shown in FIG. The background of this embodiment will be described first with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 together. Producers, artists, record companies, etc. jointly operate the system 10 of the present invention on the Internet to provide a free collaborative environment for artists of various genres around the world, and the resulting music works on the Internet Assume a situation of publishing. Here, from the viewpoint of producing a collaboration, the system of the present invention is hereinafter referred to as a collaboration system 10.
[0024]
In this case, the producer formulates the concept of the music work that he wishes to create, and registers the concept content in an appropriate storage resource such as the member information database 11b in the collaboration system 10. For example, the registration destination constitutes a database for a studio booth 14a opened for each producer. This studio booth 14a is represented as a web screen on the Internet, and the producer can access the producer machine 20 to create and edit his own music works, and also accepts access from the artist through the artist machine 30 for viewing. And recruit people who want to participate in the previous concept.
[0025]
The artist browses the contents of the concept exhibited in the studio booth 14a with the artist machine 30, and creates music part data matching the concept, and registers it in the studio booth 14a as a part that wants to participate. This part of participation will be reviewed for adoption by the producer later.
[0026]
A user who downloads and purchases a music work by accessing the collaboration system 10 accesses the system 10 with the user terminal 40, searches for a favorite music work there, and checks the atmosphere of the work by listening to it. Apply for delivery. If the payment processing in the collaboration system 10 or an external payment organization is completed, the music piece data can be distributed to the user terminal 40.
[0027]
Of course, the scope of the present invention is not limited only to the present embodiment in which music works are subject to joint production and publication, and the present invention can be applied to video works and any other media works. Needless to say, there are.
[0028]
=== System configuration ===
A collaboration system 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a Web server that serves as a window for receiving access from the producer machine 20, the artist machine 30 and the user terminal 40 and allowing them to view, edit, and distribute music works, music part data, and the like. 11, an application server 12 that provides and manages a music editing application used in the producer machine 20 and the artist machine 30, and a settlement server 13 that performs a settlement process performed when distributing a music work. The Web server 11 receives member IDs from the producer machine 20, the artist machine 30 and the user terminal 40 via the Internet or the like by an appropriate communication device, and performs a collation operation with the registered ID in the member information database 11b. Authenticate. In response to the request, for example, screen information such as the studio booth 14a provided in the member information database 11b and various information such as music works stored in the music database 11a are sent back.
[0029]
As described above, the Web server 11 includes the music database 11a and the member information database 11b. The music database 11a has an owner ID (member ID of the producer who is the owner of the music work to be completed), music, and the music part data received from the producer machine 20 and the artist machine 30 using the assigned work ID as a key. Review / comments to music part data attached by genre, producer or artist, sub ID (member ID of the artist who registered the part you want to participate in), access history that records the event that was viewed or auditioned, distributed to users A record in which data such as a distribution history in which an event is recorded is associated is created and recorded in the form of a relation table.
[0030]
In addition, the member information database 11b appropriately obtains the personal information of the user by any means such as input / output on the Web screen, e-mail, mailing, manual delivery, telephone, fax, etc. and stores, for example, a member ID as a key. ·to manage. The personal information includes, for example, an address, name, contact information, a password corresponding to a member ID, a settlement account number, a work ID corresponding to the produced music work, an access history to the Web server 11, and an intended music genre. Corresponding data such as distribution history that records events that music works have been distributed to users, purchase history that records events that download music works of other people, and dividend history that records the history of received dividends A record is created and recorded in the form of a relationship table. In addition, for example, screen data corresponding to a studio booth 14a opened for each producer is recorded in association with a member ID, and the studio booth 14a is collectively referred to as a cyber studio 14. The studio booth 14a and the cyber studio 14 may be managed by separately providing a dedicated database in a storage resource, or may be opened in another database.
[0031]
When a producer or artist uses the collaboration system 10 of the present invention to create or edit a music work, if he / she wants to use a music editing application such as a sequencer or an audio multi-recorder, the application server 12 is notified. Send. Then, the application server 12 downloads a music editing application designated in response to a request from the producers from the program database 12a to the producer machine 20 or the like. The program database 12a assigns and manages a program ID to the music editing application provided, creates a record recording the program type and download history using this as a key, and forms a relation table.
[0032]
Further, the collaboration system 10 needs to execute the payment process directly or indirectly in response to the distribution request of the music work from the user terminal 40. The server for this is the settlement server 13. For example, the settlement server 13 obtains information on a settlement account stored in the member information database 11b, attaches distribution consideration (settlement price) data thereto, and transfers the data to an external settlement organization. Make a settlement request. When the payment processing completion notification is received from the payment institution, the music piece download process from the publication information database 13a to the user terminal 40 is executed. Of course, when the collaboration system 10 has a role played by the settlement organization, there is no problem even if the settlement server 13 itself performs settlement processing and performs all internal processing. The publishing information database 13a is a database for storing and managing data of music works (completed works) requested to be registered for publishing by the producer machine 20, and using the work ID as a key, the owner ID, sub ID, dividend producer, artist, The distribution ratio and distribution history information are recorded.
[0033]
Each of the databases 11a, 11b, 12a, and 13a is provided in an appropriate storage device such as a hard disk, and can be integrated or integrated, or can be organically operated by being connected to each other via a network. It is good also as. Further, the Web server 11, the application server 12, and the settlement server 13 may be an integrated computer or may be combined organically via a network or the like.
[0034]
The producer machine 20 and the artist machine 30 are computers including a communication device that can access the Web server 11 in the collaboration system 10 via a network such as the Internet, and can execute an editing application for producing and editing music works. And The user terminal 40 is a terminal that can be connected to a network such as the Internet, and downloads music works through the Web server 11.
[0035]
The producer machine 20, the artist machine 30, and the user terminal 40 are not limited to the general personal computer shown in the figure, a mobile phone that can be connected to the network, and the like, but also a PDA, a game machine, a digital TV, a fax machine, and the like. Any computer device that can be connected to the network may be used. In addition, not only the Internet but also various networks such as a personal computer communication line, a LAN, and a wireless network are used to connect at least one of the producer machine 20, the artist machine 30, the user terminal 40, and the collaboration system 10. I can do it.
[0036]
=== Main flow ===
1. Top screen image
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an actual procedure of the method of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the top screen 400. Hereinafter, the actual procedure of the present invention will be described together with screen transitions in the producer machine 20 or the artist machine 30. For example, it is assumed that an artist accesses the music production collaborative production / publishing service site provided by the collaboration system 10 with the artist machine 30 (s300). An example of the top screen returned from the Web server 11 at this time is a screen 400 shown in FIG. 4, and buttons and maps corresponding to the purpose of use are arranged.
[0037]
For example, a button for selecting the use of a studio booth in the above-mentioned cyber studio for creating and editing music works, music works or music part data that you want to refer to or participate in, including studio booths, music data, musicians (including producers and artists) Button to move to the page to search from each aspect of, and a map of the studio booth by country is displayed in a clickable manner.
[0038]
In addition, this screen 400 also provides an entrance to a community site where producers and artists who are members of this service site interact. Here, various community tools such as bulletin boards, chats, and emails can be used, and it is possible to separately exchange and recruit with fellow members.
[0039]
2. Member authentication process
Next, it is authenticated whether the artist who has accessed the top screen 400 is a member of the site (s301). The Web server 11 transmits a predetermined login screen to the artist machine 30, and the artist machine 30 that has received the log-in inputs the member ID and its password, and then replies. The Web server 11 verifies it in the member information database 11b and makes an authentication judgment (s302). If the authentication is not completed normally, the Web server 11 transmits a member registration form for appropriately inputting personal information and the like to the artist machine 30 and receives the input result. The Web server 11 assigns a member ID to the artist according to the input result, and opens a studio booth in the member information database 11b (s303 ′). If the authentication is normally completed, various services provided on the top screen 400 can be enjoyed.
[0040]
3. Enter search criteria
In such a top screen 400, it is assumed that a search condition is input to search for a favorite studio booth, a music work, an artist (including a producer) or the like on a search page in which the artist is linked to the studio search button. This is the search condition input screen shown on each screen 500, 501, 502. When searching for a studio booth, for example, the booth ID assigned to each studio booth, the name of the owner (producer) of the studio booth 14a, nationality / location, gender, age group, desired genre, etc. may be specified. I can do it. When searching for music works and music part data, for example, it is possible to specify the name of the music work, the name of the producer, the part name, the main language used, the comment attached to the music work, etc. . When searching for an artist, for example, the member ID, name, nationality / location, gender, main part, genre of interest, etc. of the artist can be specified.
[0041]
4). Accepting search conditions and sending search results
When an artist inputs search conditions on the search condition input screens 500, 501, 502, etc. and transmits them to the Web server 11, the Web server 11 receives them and uses them as designated search keys in the music database 11a and member information database 11b. Based on the search process, the result is returned to the artist machine 30. An example of the screen is a search result display screen 600 shown in FIG. In this screen 600, the search conditions specified by the artist himself, here: Part: Base, Language: Japanese, Comment: “South Island”, “Soyokaze”, and “Koi”, Genre: Pop, World Music , And classic are displayed in a confirming manner, and the search results are also displayed.
[0042]
Information such as comments attached to the genre, performance length, image, etc. is listed in this search result using the member ID of the artist or producer who produced the music work or music part data as a key. With respect to these music works and music part data, by specifying trial listening with a check box or the like, the music ID corresponding to the selected event is transmitted to the Web server 11, and the data corresponding to the music ID is sent to the artist machine 30. Downloaded and auditionable.
[0043]
5). Studio booth screen image
If the preferred studio booth can be searched by the search operation and the studio booth in the artist machine 30 is selected on the search result display screen 600, the selected event is transmitted to the Web server 11 together with the booth ID. The Web server 11 receives this (s303), extracts screen data corresponding to the booth ID from the member information database 11b, and sends it back. An example of the screen is a studio booth screen 700 shown in FIG. Here, for example, the member ID (wm312 in the figure) of the producer who is the owner of the studio booth is displayed as an identifier indicating who the studio booth is. A national flag indicating the nationality of the producer (Japanese flag in the figure) is also displayed. In this screen 700, the contents of the concept of the musical work that the producer contemplates are displayed, and the musicality intended by the producer, the face of the producer, a list of published music works, and the like can be referred to.
[0044]
Here, if the artist does not have a music editing application such as a sequencer, it will hinder the subsequent production and editing of music works. Therefore, the Web server 11 transmits a screen asking whether or not the music editing application is necessary and selected to the artist machine 30 and receives the result to determine necessity (s304). If the result requires a music editing application, the music editing application selected by the artist is retrieved from the program database 12a through the application server 12 and downloaded to the artist machine 30 via the Internet (s305). This allows artists to freely create and edit music works. If the music editing application is not required, the process proceeds to the following step s306.
[0045]
Here, for example, the artist clicks a button “Recruiting Participation !!!” and browses information on a part that is seeking participation in a musical work envisioned by the producer. In the lower half of this screen 500, part information for this participation recruitment is displayed. The artist who browsed this is music by listening to the parts that the producer has produced in advance (bass part in the figure) and parts that have been participated by other artists (vocals, drums, percussion in the figure). Check the atmosphere of the work. When the check box for requesting trial listening on the screen 700 is checked, the corresponding music part data is downloaded to the artist machine 30 in the same manner as described above, and is played with an appropriate application of the artist machine 30.
[0046]
For example, if the artist desires to participate in, for example, a guitar part that has not yet been participated as a result of the audition, the check box for participation is checked. This event is sent to the music database 11a through the Web server 11, and is recorded in the member ID table corresponding to the producer in the database 11a. At this point, the Web server 11 recognizes that the artist machine 30 performs an operation as an artist (production / registration of a part desired to participate) (s306). On the other hand, when an event for editing a part that the artist wants to participate in according to his / her music concept and creating a music work is transmitted to the Web server 11 by clicking a music production / edit button on the screen 700. The Web server 11 recognizes that the artist machine 30 actually performs the work as a producer.
[0047]
In addition, the producer transmits the data of the music work and the part itself that he has created to the Web server 11 in advance and has the work ID or member ID registered in the music database 11a as a key. The genre, musical instrument, performance length, atmosphere, etc. are specified in a predetermined input form derived from the server 11 and then transmitted and registered in the Web server 11. The Web server 11 accepts this, stores it in the studio booth (member information database 11b established, etc.), and exhibits it on the Internet (s307).
[0048]
On the other hand, using the music editing application downloaded to the artist machine 30, the artist creates and edits music part data for the part that he / she wants to participate in (here, the guitar part using sitar), and his / her member. The ID (sub ID) is transmitted to the Web server 11. The Web server 11 receives this and performs registration in the corresponding studio booth (s307 ′).
[0049]
6). Notification of occurrence / examination result of part wishing to participate
The producer uses the producer machine 20 to access his / her own studio booth to know the contents of the booth exhibition, and recognizes the presence of the part that he / she wants to participate in. Alternatively, the web server 11 notifies the producer machine 20 of the event that registration of the part desired to participate has occurred at an appropriate timing such as when the part desired to participate is registered in the studio booth (s308). The notification method here is performed using various communication tools that can be used on the Internet, such as exchange of Web screen data, e-mail, chat, and messenger service.
[0050]
Whether a producer who has received or has been notified that registration of the part that wants to participate has acquired the music part data of the part that wants to participate and whether to adopt it based on matching to their own concept, etc. Will be judged. This is performed on the participation notification / examination screen 800 shown in FIG. In this screen 800, the member's main genre, performance length, desired part, comment on the part desired to participate, and the like are displayed in association with the member ID of the artist who wants to participate. The producer performs the same audition designation as above, and evaluates the part that he / she wants to participate in. Then, with regard to the part that has not been selected for participation, the deletion designation is performed with a check box or the like so that the music part data is deleted from the contents of the booth display. The Web server 11 receives this deletion designation (s308) and deletes the corresponding work ID data from the music database 11a. On the other hand, the examination result is notified to each artist machine 30 (s308 ′).
[0051]
7). Music editing
FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a music editing screen. As described above, the producer selects and selects the part that wants to participate in accordance with its own concept, and appropriately edits the music part data of each part that wants to participate. For example, the sequencer application downloaded from the application server 12 is used to arrange the selected part (drum spurt in the figure). After editing, the edited music part data is transmitted to the Web server 11 through the producer machine 20. In response to this, the Web server 11 performs update processing in the music database 11a.
[0052]
8). Completion of music work
FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a music work completion screen. When the editing of the part that wants to participate is completed as described above, the producer accesses the studio booth for his / her own by the producer machine 20 to know the contents of the booth display, and confirms whether or not the planned music work is completed. In the screen 1000 shown in the drawing, editing is completed for each part of the bass, guitar, chorus, vocal, and drums, and a list is displayed to form one music work. Part information includes the ID of the participating member (artist) who registered the part he / she wants to participate in, the date of the last edit, comments, and contribution to the music work. If the producer wants to audition again, the corresponding check box is checked and the producer machine 20 auditions. If it is determined that the concept is not met, a check box for replacement is checked. This event to be exchanged is sent to the Web server 11, and the Web server 11 that has received this event displays the “Not yet participated” column in the recruitment part information (see FIG. 7 again) displayed in the studio booth corresponding to the producer. Rewrite as
[0053]
If it is determined that the music work is completed, the data of the completed music work is transmitted from the producer machine 20 to the publication information database 13a of the settlement server 13 (as the cyber shop 15) via the Web server 11. The settlement server 13 receives the music work data and registers the work ID as a key (s309). At that time, the producer's own member ID is related as the owner ID, and the member ID of the artist who created the part that wants to participate is related as the sub ID. In addition, the distribution ratio of the dividend between the producer and the artist determined according to the contribution (or predetermined) is also recorded.
[0054]
9. Music distribution and payment processing
FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a distribution event and dividend notification screen. The settlement server 13 communicates with the user terminal 40 accessed via the Web server 11 and appropriately searches for the music work registered in the publication information database 13a according to the user's request. The result is presented to the user terminal 40 through the Internet. Therefore, the music piece desired to be distributed designated by the user terminal 40 is extracted and downloaded to the user terminal 40 (s310). Unless the music work is free, payment processing is performed prior to this download. For example, the settlement server 13 obtains information on a settlement account stored in the member information database 11b, attaches distribution consideration (settlement price) data thereto, and transfers the data to an external settlement organization. Make a settlement request. When the payment processing completion notification is received from the payment institution, the music piece download process from the publication information database 13a to the user terminal 40 is executed. Of course, when the collaboration system 10 has a role played by the settlement organization, there is no problem even if the settlement server 13 itself performs settlement processing and performs all internal processing.
[0055]
When the payment is normally completed and the music piece is distributed, the event is notified from the payment server 13 to the producer machine 20 and the artist machine 30 via the Web server 11 (s311). In this notification screen 1100, information such as the member ID of the distribution destination, the genre of the member, the distribution date and time, the distribution quantity, and the distribution unit price are listed, and the total amount of the dividend is shown. The distribution unit price for the artist is obtained by multiplying the amount calculated according to the contribution indicated by the producer in the part information on the screen 1000 (see FIG. 10) by the distribution quantity. Producers and artists recognize the amount of dividends for the music works they are involved in, receive actual dividends from a given account, present the concept of the music work, recruit the part they want to participate in, register it, complete the music work, and A series of processes leading to distribution and generation of dividends accompanying the distribution are completed (s312).
[0056]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, according to the present invention, when a producer or artist creates or edits a music work, an application that functions as a sequencer or an audio multi-recorder is created via an information communication network in a cyber studio as a place of creation. Since it can be used freely, it is completely unaffected by factors that have traditionally restricted music activities, such as location, time, and resources. Therefore, the quality of the music work completed here is purely in accordance with the musicality of the producers and artists and the level of lyrics, composition and performance, and the same production environment can be obtained regardless of professional amateurs. Moreover, the music works can be freely published at the cyber shop, which leads to the realization of music publishing beyond the framework of the existing domestic music market.
[0057]
In collaboration, the same effects as described above can be achieved, and other artists who actually match their tastes and musicality can be heard, even if they are located in remote areas such as overseas. It is possible to find out easily and reliably while confirming.
