In general, music data at the time of incoming call and mail reception is often only a part of the music or a file format (for example, MIDI) that defines the tone and pitch of the built-in synthesizer chip of the mobile phone. Therefore, in order to listen to the same music as the downloaded music data with high sound quality from the beginning to the end, it is necessary to newly acquire music data (full music data) with good sound quality of the music. Another song data (full song data) is also used when the user likes an artist who plays the song data at the time of an incoming call or when an e-mail is received, and the user desires to listen to the entire range of another song of this artist. Need to get new.

  When acquiring new music data by downloading, the user finds a website that distributes the desired music data from among many provided on the network. Specifically, the user first accesses the search site, inputs a keyword related to the music data, performs a search, then accesses the website hit by the search, and downloads the desired music data. Become.

First, when an access request signal is received, the MPU 11 determines whether or not the user ID included in the access request signal matches the condition (creation condition) included in the user ID condition 21a. If it matches, it is recognized that an appropriate user ID is used, and each search file belonging to the special site group arranged in the center column 23b of the search table 23 in FIG. 8 is specified as a search target. . If the user ID is not included in the access request signal, the MPU 11 recognizes that an appropriate user ID is not used, and the general site group arranged in the right end column 23c of the search table 23 in FIG. Each search file belonging to is specified as a search target.

  Further, the MPU 11 searches the specified search file with the content (keyword) of the property information included in the access request signal, and reads a screen page representing a website that matches (hits) the search from the screen database 22. Control to transmit to the terminal device of the access source. When a plurality of websites are hit, the screen page of the corresponding site screen in the website arranged at the top in the normal search result display is transmitted. Note that if the website hit in the search is not found (if it is not hit), the MPU 11 reads the screen page corresponding to the site screen 36 in FIG. 6B from the screen database 22 and transmits it to the access source terminal device. Take control.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a series of processing procedures (contents of the site search method) in the site search system 1 described above. The contents of the site search method will be described below based on this flowchart. At the time of starting the process, the process of the preparation stage in the portable terminal device 3 is finished, and the third item 30c (a player corresponding to an artist) is selected on the first menu screen 30 in FIG. In addition, the user ID 9 is created and stored in the storage unit 3h, and the second menu screen 31 of FIG. 4B is displayed on the display panel 4 of the mobile terminal device 3. Suppose that

  First, the mobile terminal device 3 determines on the second menu screen 31 whether a search instruction for a website related to the current ringtone has been received from the user (YES button 31a has been selected) (S1). When the search instruction is not received (S1: NO), the mobile terminal device 3 is in a search instruction waiting state. When the search instruction is received (S1: YES), the incoming song is based on the setting content on the first menu screen 30. Property information P (a player name of the property information P) is extracted from the data D (S2), an access request signal including the property information P and the stored user ID 9 is created and transmitted to the server device 10 (S3). .

  The server device 10 receives the access request signal from the mobile terminal device 3 (S4), and determines whether or not the user ID 9 included in the access request signal matches the user ID condition 21a (S5). . When the user ID 9 matches the user ID condition 21a (S5: YES), the server device 10 searches each search file of the special site group in the search table 23 shown in FIG. 8 (S6), and the user ID 9 is the user ID. When the condition 21a is not satisfied (S5: NO), the search file of the general site group in the search table 23 is searched (S7).

  The server device 10 determines whether or not the website is hit by the search (S8), and if it is hit (S8: YES), the screen page corresponding to the hit website (for example, in the case of matching user ID, FIG. The screen page corresponding to the site screen 37 of FIG. 7A, or the screen page corresponding to the site screen 38 of FIG. 7B if the user ID does not match, is read from the screen database 22 of the hard disk device 15 (S9). If no hit is found (S8: NO), an unhit screen page corresponding to the site screen 36 of FIG. 6B is read from the screen database 22 (S10). Then, the server device 10 transmits the read screen page to the access source mobile terminal device 3 (S11).

  Finally, the mobile terminal device 3 displays the screen page transmitted from the server device 10 on the display panel 4 (S12). Therefore, the user of the portable terminal device 3 can automatically display the site screen where the full music of the artist who plays the ringtone can be downloaded simply by selecting the YES button 31a on the second menu screen 31 of FIG. 4B. In particular, when a proper user ID 9 is transmitted, the site screen 37 to which the privilege shown in FIG. 7A is given is displayed, so that the value of the access program 8 installed in the mobile terminal device 3 can be increased. .

  In the description of the flowchart described above, an example in which full music distribution (see FIG. 7) has been hit is given. However, depending on the content information P, a video distribution site that contains an artist's concert video, and knowledge about the artist・ There may be cases where trivia sites, posting sites, etc. hit the search. Further, when a plurality of items are selected on the first menu screen 30 in FIG. 4A in the preparation stage, the server device 10 performs a so-called “AND search” for the plurality of items.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the form mentioned above, A various modification example is applicable. For example, the content data that is the basis of the search is not limited to the incoming music data, but other types of content data (general music data, video data, game data, etc.) including property information are also included. Of course, it is applicable. In addition, when the content data to be searched is other than the incoming music data, the mobile terminal device 3 is not limited to the mobile phone, and the communication terminal device (computer and music equipped with a communication function and music having a communication function) can store the content data. A playback player or the like) can be applied instead of the mobile terminal device 3.

  Also, instead of the mobile terminal device 3 directly establishing a connection with the server device 10 and performing processing, the user ID 9 created by the mobile terminal device 3 is passed to another communication device, and the communication device uses the user ID 9. By accessing the server device 10, the related site may be displayed smoothly on the communication device.

  For example, in the site search system 50 of the modification shown in FIG. 10, the portable terminal device 3 transmits the user ID 9 to the computer 51 having a communication function. The computer 51 stores in advance a computer program that defines the processing contents excluding the user ID creation processing of the access program 8 stored in the mobile terminal device 3 and various content data including property information. The user ID 9 and the property information Can be displayed on the computer 51 by the computer 51, and if the user ID 9 is appropriate, benefits such as a discount on the download fee can be enjoyed on the computer 51.

  Further, in the above description, when the YES button 31a is selected on the second menu screen 31 in FIG. 4B, the mobile terminal device 3 accesses the server device 10, but the second menu screen 31 is used. In addition, the mobile terminal device 3 automatically accesses the server device 10 at predetermined time intervals (for example, every two weeks, every month, etc.) using the time measuring function of the CPU 3a of the mobile terminal device 3. Alternatively, the access program 8 that specifies transmission of the property information P and the user ID 9 may be applied. Furthermore, the processing content of the access program 8 can be simplified. For example, the setting process on the first menu screen 30 in FIG. The contents of the property information to be transmitted may be fixed, such as a specification that is always extracted and transmitted. In addition, when the search target in the server device 10 is not divided into the special site file and the general site file, and only the general site file is set as the search target, the processing contents relating to the user ID creation are omitted from the access program 8. May be.

  On the other hand, the website provided on the network by the server device 10 is not a general site but a search site that only performs a search, and when the server device 10 does not directly manage the website hit by the search, it was hit Rather than transmitting a screen page corresponding to the site screen to the mobile terminal device 3, a screen page corresponding to the site screen 39 on which the search results are placed and created and transmitted to the mobile terminal device 3 as shown in FIG. 11 To. In this case, the server apparatus 10 arranges the site names 39a to 30e corresponding to the search results shown on the screen page in a state where the URLs are linked so as to be selectable. It is preferable to allow easy access to the desired website.

  Even when the search result screen page is transmitted in this way, the server device 10 can also search the search target website by dividing it into a special site group for granting a privilege and a general site group. is there. In addition, discounts for download fees, giving points that can be used on the Internet, sending various products as gifts to the user, and the like can also be applied to the benefits provided by the special site. Furthermore, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which each process performed by the server device 10 is performed in a distributed manner by a plurality of server devices.
