Description

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and program with music playback function.

  Conventionally, in incoming call notification on a mobile phone, melody notification can be performed by playing back music, but the playback music is limited to songs registered in advance by the user. Although it is possible to change the playback music at the time of incoming call according to the caller, the setting needs to be made by the user himself / herself, and the same music is played back unless changed.

In addition, there has been proposed a technique for changing the playback music upon arrival according to the position of the user and the period (time, month or season) (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2). In these prior arts, the music set corresponding to the position, the period, etc. is automatically selected without the user changing the setting each time.

On the other hand, if the line is disconnected before the call button is pressed, the reproduction of the music that has been started in step S16 is stopped (step S30), the process returns to step S10, and the processing described above is performed. repeat.

  If there is no incoming call in step S12, it is determined whether or not there is any operation (step S32). If there is no operation, the process returns to step S10 and the above-described processing is repeated. On the other hand, if any operation is performed, it is determined whether or not the operation is a music download instruction operation (step S34). If it is a song download instruction operation, Web access to the song distribution site is executed (step S36 shown in FIG. 6).

  Next, when connected to the music distribution site, the type selection menu page provided by the music distribution site is received and displayed on the display unit 7 (step S38). Note that the types include, for example, popular songs by region, popular songs by genre, old melody hit songs / latest hit songs, and the like. Next, the user is made to select a type from the type selection menu page (step S40), and the selected type is transmitted to the music distribution site (step S42). Next, the music list page in the selected type transmitted from the music distribution site is received (step S44), and the user is made to select a music (step S46). The song list is composed of song data designated by type according to the latest ranking.

  Here, it is determined whether or not all songs on the song list page have been selected by the user (step S48). When all songs are selected, the music distribution site is requested to transmit all songs (step S50), and the music data of all songs transmitted from the song distribution site is downloaded and stored (step S52). Next, the information of the downloaded song data is added to the song table 3-1, and the “unplayed flag” is set (step S54), and the song names in the playlist 3-2 are all changed to downloaded songs (step S56). ). Then, it returns to step S10 and repeats the process mentioned above.

  On the other hand, if a song is individually selected in step S48, the song distribution site is requested to transmit the selected song (step S58), and the song data of the selected song transmitted from the song distribution site is downloaded. (Step S60). Next, it is added to the information of the downloaded song data in the song table 3-1, and the “unreproduced flag” is set (step S62), and added to the top rank of the playlist 3-2 (step S64). The lowest song in the list 3-2 is deleted from the list (step S66). Then, it returns to step S10 and repeats the process mentioned above.

  If it is not a music download instruction operation in step S34 of FIG. 5, it is determined whether or not a music reproduction instruction operation is performed (step S70). If it is not a music reproduction instruction operation, a process corresponding to the operation is performed (step S72), and then the process returns to step S10 to repeat the above-described process.

  On the other hand, if the operation is a song playback instruction operation, a list of stored songs is displayed (step S74), and the user is allowed to select a song to be played back (step S76). When a song is selected, playback of the song data is started (step S78), and the number of times the selected song is played is updated (step S80). During playback, it is determined whether or not playback has ended (step S82). If it has not ended, playback of song data is continued.

  On the other hand, when the reproduction is completed, the accumulated reproduction time is updated (step S86), and it is determined whether or not the “unreproduced flag” is set (step S88). If the “unreproduced flag” is not set, the process proceeds to the next step without doing anything, and if the “unreproduced flag” is set, the “unreproduced flag” is reset (step S88). .

  Next, it is determined whether or not the number priority that raises the priority of the reproduction order is set as the number of times of reproduction is set (step S90). It is registered and updated in the playlist 3-2 (step S92). Then, it returns to step S10 and performs the process mentioned above. On the other hand, if the number of times priority is not set, it is determined whether or not the time priority that raises the priority of the playback order is set as the cumulative playback time is longer (step S94), and the time priority is set. In this case, the top 10 songs are recorded and updated in the playlist 3-2 (step S96). Then, it returns to step S10 and performs the process mentioned above.

  If neither the number-of-times priority nor the time priority is set, it is determined whether or not the immediately preceding priority is set to raise the priority of the music played immediately before (step S98), and the immediately preceding priority is set. If there is, the song reproduced immediately before is added to the top rank of the playlist 3-2 (step S100), and the lowest song in the playlist 3-2 is deleted from the list (step S102). Then, it returns to step S10 and performs the process mentioned above. If none of the number priority, time priority, or immediately prior priority is set, the process returns to step S10 without changing the playlist 3-2 and performs the above-described processing.
