These are the generic names of the prelude WAV data played before the first music body and the subsequent WAV data played after the performance of the last music body. The jogging arrangement inter-music connection WAV parts data 102 is also changed based on the key data so that the key corresponds to the key data, like the main part of the music body MIDI data 105.

  The jogging arrangement voice guidance WAV parts data 103 is WAV data in which voices such as exercise guidance and advice by a professional advisor are recorded.

  The DJ audio WAV parts data 104 is WAV data in which audio of DJ (Disc Jockey) that is played between songs is recorded.

  In the following description, the music main body WAV parts data 101 is simply referred to as “music main data”, and the jogging arrangement inter-music connection WAV parts data 102 is simply referred to as “inter-music connection data”. The jogging arrangement voice guidance WAV part data 103 and the DJ voice WAV part data 104 are collectively referred to simply as “voice data”.

  The parts WAV data database program 201 is a program for the control unit 11 of the music distribution server 1 to manage the parts WAV data database. In response to a request for registration of each part data, the parts data is registered in the database. This is a program for acquiring part data requested from the server system program 202 from the database and passing it to the server system program 202.

  The server system program 202 is a program for the control unit 11 of the music distribution server 1 to create jogging music data using part data acquired from the parts WAV data database.

  The web site program 203 transmits a web page, jogging music data, etc. in response to a request from the user PC 2 as a web site where the control unit 11 of the music distribution server 1 delivers the created jogging music data. It is a program for.

  The parts WAV data database program 201, the server system program 202, the WEB site program 203, and the like may be acquired from other server devices via a network (not shown), or may be a CD (Compact Disc )-It may be recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM and read from a drive device or the like.

  Next, before describing the contents of the jogging music data, the configuration of a menu for selecting a training course that determines the specifications of the jogging music data will be described.

  The selection of the training course is performed by the user operating the user PC 2 based on the course selection WEB page transmitted from the music distribution server 1 to the user PC 2.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the menu structure for selecting a training course has, for example, a hierarchical structure from the highest first hierarchy to the lowest fourth hierarchy. In each hierarchy, menu items are defined according to the user's goals, etc., and in the upper hierarchy, menu items are defined according to the general objective, and as the lower hierarchy, the specific items are specified. Menu items are defined according to specific goals.

  First, when “Course selection” is selected, menu items corresponding to the user's goals such as “Health maintenance”, “Diet”, “Marathon race entry”, “Time up”, etc. are displayed as menu items in the first layer. Is displayed on the screen of the user PC 2. Then, for example, when “Marathon race entry” is selected, menu items such as “Honolulu Marathon”, “Tokyo Marathon”, “Half Marathon”, “10 Km Marathon”, etc. are displayed on the user PC 2 as the second-level menu items. Displayed on the screen.

  Here, for example, when “Honolulu Marathon” is selected, course menus such as “Aim for time” and “Complete” are displayed on the screen of the user PC 2 as menu items in the third layer. Further, for example, when “Aim for time” is selected, course menus such as “beginner”, “intermediate”, “advanced”, etc. are displayed on the screen of the user PC 2 as menu items in the fourth layer.

  When one menu item is selected from the menu items in the fourth hierarchy, a training course uniquely corresponding to the menu item is determined by the control unit 1 of the music distribution server 1. For example, when “Marathon race entry” to “Honolulu Marathon” to “Aim for time” to “Beginner” is selected, “Training course A” is determined. Similarly, when “intermediate” is selected, “training course B” is determined. Similarly, when “advanced” is selected, “training course C” is determined.

  The storage unit 12 of the music distribution server 1 stores menu data that defines the menu configuration. The storage unit 12 stores course information for each final training course. In this course information, all steps of the training course are defined, and the specifications of the training are defined for each step. Specifically, for each step, the corresponding training period, jogging time (user running time) as an example of exercise time, jogging distance (user running distance), number of songs in the music body, initial tempo (music for jogging) The tempo of the first song in the data), the end tempo (the tempo of the last song in the jogging song data), and the like are defined. Here, the jogging time is a time indicating the performance time of the music data for jogging, excluding the performance time of warm-up music and cool-down music described later.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the specification of jogging music data in each step of a certain training course. This training course starts from step 1 and basically increases in steps every month.

  The training period of step 1 is set to the first month. That is, Step 1 is intended for jogging from the start of this training course until one month has passed. The jogging time is set to 30 minutes, and the jogging distance is set to about 5 km. The initial tempo and the final tempo are both set to 160 BPM.

  These pieces of information indicate that in step 1, the performance time of the jogging music data excluding the warm-up music and the cool-down music is 30 minutes, and the tempo is constant at 160 BPM. Then, it is assumed that the user runs a distance of about 5 km when the user runs for 30 minutes at a pace corresponding to this tempo. The key of the jogging music data is changed according to the user's preference including the main part and the prelude and the postlude (the same applies hereinafter).

  Here, although the number of music pieces to be played is set to eight songs, this is only a guide, and the number of songs changes depending on the performance time of the selected music piece.

  In FIG. 5, the contents of the medley music in step 1, that is, the contents of the music body to be played are “XXX medley” (“XXX” is, for example, the name of an album or the name of an artist). Although this is also shown in other steps, this shows an example of the selected album, artist, or genre. For example, “XXX medley” is not necessarily included in step 1. It is not selected.

  Next, the training period of step 2 is set to the second month. In other words, Step 1 is intended for jogging from the start of this training course until one month has passed and one month has passed. The jogging time is set to 30 minutes, the jogging distance is set to about 5.5 km, and the number of songs is set to eight. The initial tempo is set to 160 BPM, and the final tempo is set to 165 BPM.

  These pieces of information indicate that in step 2, the performance time of the jogging music data excluding the warm-up music and the cool-down music is 30 minutes, and the tempo gradually increases from 160 BPM to 165 BPM. Then, it is assumed that the user runs a distance of about 5.5 km by running for 30 minutes at a pace corresponding to this tempo.

  In Step 2, the jogging distance is the same as that in Step 1, but it is assumed that the user runs a distance approximately 0.5 km longer than Step 1 as the tempo increases.

  Similarly, the training period of step 3 is set to the third month, the jogging time is set to 45 minutes, the jogging distance is set to about 8 km, and the number of songs is set to 12. The initial tempo and final tempo are both set to 165 BPM.

  The training period in step 4 is set to the fourth month, the jogging time is set to 45 minutes, the jogging distance is set to about 8.5 km, and the number of songs is set to 12. The initial tempo is set to 165 BPM, and the final tempo is set to 170 BPM.

  The training period in step 5 is set to the fifth month, the jogging time is set to 60 minutes, the jogging distance is set to about 11 km, and the number of songs is set to 16 songs. The initial tempo and the final tempo are both set to 170 BPM.

  The training period of step 6 is set to the sixth month, the jogging time is set to 60 minutes, the jogging distance is set to about 12 km, and the number of songs is set to 16 songs. The initial tempo is set to 170 BPM and the final tempo is set to 175 BPM.

  As shown in FIG. 6, jogging music in each step includes a jogging main part composed of a music main body, a prelude, a postlude, an inter-musical part, a guide voice, and a DJ voice, and a warm played before the jogging main part. It consists of an up song and a cool down song played after the main jogging.

  In the figure, (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (f) correspond to Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, Step 4, Step 5, and Step 6, respectively. doing.

  A warm-up song is a song that is supposed to be played when warming up such as a preparatory exercise before the user starts jogging. For example, the tempo gradually increases and the user's mood gradually increases. A song that excites is selected.

  The cool-down song is a song that is supposed to be played when the user finishes jogging and then performs cooling-down to return the mind and body to calm. For example, the tempo gradually decreases and gradually settles down. The music with the atmosphere that suits you is selected.

  The music data of the warm-up music and the cool-down music are stored in the storage unit 12 in the MP3 format.

  As the warm-up music and the cool-down music, it is possible to use the same music throughout all the steps. For example, when the user PC 2 downloads music data for jogging from the music distribution server 1 for the first time, The jogging music data including all the music data of the warm-up music and the cool-down music is downloaded, but the music data for jogging only of the music data of the main jogging is downloaded at the second and subsequent downloads. Similarly to the jogging song data key, the warm-up song and cool-down song keys are also changed to the same key as the jogging song data key according to the user's preference.

  In the second and subsequent downloads, a warm-up song and a cool-down song different from the first downloaded warm-up song and cool-down song may be downloaded according to the user's selection.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the jogging distance, that is, the performance time of the jogging main part increases every two steps. On the other hand, the tempo of the jogging main part is constant from the start to the end of the performance in the odd steps and gradually increases in the even steps. In addition, the final tempo in each step matches the tempo in the next step.

  As the step goes up (the training period is in the future in time), the jogging ability of the user is considered to improve, so the jogging time and tempo increase accordingly. Moreover, although it is a standard, the number of songs increases as the steps go up. The jogging time and tempo are determined for each training course, and further for each step in the training course. Specifically, for example, the jogging time and tempo are determined by experts such as marathons. Based on the exercise theory, policy, etc. set for each training course in advance.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a schematic configuration of jogging music data at each jogging time.

  In the present embodiment, one or a plurality of jogging main parts of jogging music data in which keys are changed using key data corresponding to each user according to the jogging time are created. This is for the following reason.

  That is, the longer the jogging time, the larger the data size of the main part of the jogging, and the longer the time required for downloading the data. The longer the download time, the higher the possibility that the download will fail for some reason (for example, disconnection of connection). If the download fails, you will have to download from the beginning again, and the download time will be longer. Therefore, when the jogging time is long, the data of the main part of the jogging is created in a plurality of parts, so that the downloading is performed in a plurality of times. Therefore, even if the download fails in the middle, there is no need to download the already downloaded portion again.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, when the jogging time is 15 minutes, the jogging main part is composed of one 15-minute file (FIG. 7A). When the jogging time is 30 minutes, the main part of the jogging is composed of one 30-minute file (FIG. 7B). When the jogging time is 45 minutes, the main part of the jogging is composed of a total of two files, one 30-minute file and one 15-minute file (FIG. 7C).

  When the jogging time is 60 minutes, the main part of the jogging is composed of two 30-minute files (FIG. 7 (d)). If the jogging time is 90 minutes, the main part of the jogging is composed of three 30-minute files (FIG. 7 (e)). When the jogging time is 120 minutes, the main part of the jogging is composed of four 30-minute files (FIG. 7 (f)).

  Here, if the main part of jogging is composed of multiple files and the initial tempo and final tempo are different, the first song of the first file in the playback order is played at the initial tempo, Each file is configured so that the tempo gradually rises across and the last song of the last file is played at the final tempo.

  On the other hand, the key of the main part of the jogging is, as a rule, constant even if the tempo is increased so that the user can easily hum.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of one file of the jogging main part of the music data for jogging.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the jogging main part of the jogging music data, the prelude is reproduced first, and then the first music body is reproduced. Then, after the inter-music part is reproduced, the second music body is reproduced. In the same manner, after all the music pieces are reproduced, the later performance is reproduced. In other words, the main part of jogging is the connection data between the songs of the prelude, the first song body data, the song connection data between the songs, the second song body data, the song connection data between the songs ... The song body of the Nth song It is comprised by the control part 11 of the music distribution server 1 so that it may reproduce | regenerate in order of data, and the connection data of interlude music.

  At this time, for example, in the case of step 1 of the training course shown in FIG. 5, the jogging main part is configured so that each piece of music data is played at a constant tempo of 160 BPM. For example, in the case of step 2, 160 BPM The music data is reproduced so that the tempo gradually increases from 1 to 165 BPM.

  In addition, the keys of the prelude, all inter-music parts, and inter-song continuation data included in the jogging main part, and all music body data are all based on key data corresponding to the user who listens to the jogging main part. It has been changed to the same key.

  Then, the jogging main part is configured such that the voice data of the guidance voice is reproduced while the inter-music connection data of the inter-music parts in the predetermined order according to the number of music is reproduced. Also, every time a specified time elapses after the performance of the main jogging starts (for example, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes,...), The elapsed time at that time and the calorie consumption so far are given to the user. The jogging main part is configured so that the voice data to be notified is reproduced.

  Note that the final training course may be determined when the third layer menu item is selected, and the step of starting the training may be determined when the fourth layer menu item is selected. For example, when “beginner” is selected, step 1 of training course A is determined as the start step, and when “intermediate” is selected, step 3 of training course A is determined as the start step. When “advanced” is selected, step 5 of training course A may be determined as the start step.

(2.3) Method for Creating Jogging Main Part of Jogging Music Data Next, a method for creating a jogging main part of jogging music data by the control unit 11 of the music distribution server 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. To do.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing various setting values according to the present embodiment. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method for creating a jogging main part of music data for jogging.

  First, various setting values for creating the jogging main part will be described.

  FIG. 9A is a table showing the minimum value and the maximum value of the number of music pieces that can be included in one file of the main part of jogging. As shown in FIG. 9 (a), one file includes a song body of 3 to 10 songs. The minimum value and the maximum value are determined according to, for example, the ease of adjusting the length of the jogging main part and the copyright fee.

  FIG. 9B is a table showing the number of bars included in one file of the main part of jogging at each running tempo.

  The running tempo is a tempo that serves as a reference for calculating the number of measures included in one file of the jogging main part. Specifically, when the initial tempo and the final tempo are the same value, the running tempo = the initial tempo = the final tempo, and when the initial tempo and the final tempo are different values, the running tempo = (the initial tempo). + Final tempo) / 2. In this embodiment, the minimum value of the running tempo is 100 BPM and the maximum value is 220 BPM.

  In FIG. 9B, the file time is the playback time of one file of the main part of jogging, and there are 15 minutes and 30 minutes of file time for each tempo.

  The total number of bars in the file (an example of the number of bars corresponding to the set exercise time) is the number of bars included in one file of the main part of jogging. The number of bars is calculated with 1 bar being 4 BPM. Therefore, the total number of measures in the file = running tempo × file time / 4. When the main jogging is composed of a plurality of files, the total number of bars in each file is equal to the total number of bars in the main jogging.

  In this embodiment, the length of the main part of the jogging is adjusted in units of bars in order to match the total playback time of the music body, prelude, postlude and inter-music part included in one file of the main part of the jogging to the file time. To do. This is because no matter how the running tempo changes, the number of measures in each song does not change, and this makes it easy to match the length of the main jogging to the jogging time.

  FIG. 9 (c) is a table showing the number of bars in the inter-music connection data used for the prelude, the inter-music part, and the post-performance.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of inter-music connection data having different measures are prepared as inter-music connection data in the inter-music part. By inserting an inter-music part with an appropriate number of measures between the music, the playback time of one file in the main part of the jogging can be easily adjusted to the file time. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9C, the minimum is 12 bars and the maximum is 144 bars. Then, twelve types of connecting data between songs having different lengths are prepared at intervals of twelve bars from twelve bars to 144 bars. The 12 bars between songs are the number of bars in which the guidance sound can be temporally accommodated between songs even if the running tempo is 220 BPM.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of pieces of connecting data between songs having different numbers of measures are prepared as connecting data between the prelude and the follower. Depending on the number of files that make up the main part of the jogging and the playback order of the files when the main part of the jogging is made up of a plurality of files, a prelude and a prelude of a predetermined length are assigned to each file. It is for putting.

  FIG. 9D is a table showing the maximum allowable number of music bars for each tempo when the file time is 15 minutes.

  The allowable maximum number of music bars (an example of the number of bars corresponding to at least one of the set exercise time and tempo) is the longest number of bars of one music body that can be included in the main part of the jogging. In this embodiment, an upper limit is set for the number of measures in one song. One reason for doing this is to make it easy to match the length of the created jogging main part to the file time.

Specifically, if the file time is set to the shortest 15 minutes and the music body is long and only 3 music pieces can be inserted into one file, the inter-song part must be inserted between songs. Don't be. Therefore,
Allowable maximum number of music bars ≤ (total number of bars of file-maximum value of total number of bars of prelude and follower-minimum value of the number of bars between music pieces x 2) / 3 + 1
It is necessary to satisfy. Here, the combination in which the sum of the number of measures of the prelude and the follower is the maximum is 8 for the prelude and 20 for the follower. In addition, the minimum value of the number of bars in the inter-music part is 12. In addition, the last “+1” indicates that the first bar of the music body and the last bar of the music played before the music body or the last bar of the prelude are overlapped and played. It is added to the maximum allowable number of music bars.

  In this way, by setting the allowable maximum number of music bars, the number of music pieces constituting the main part of the jogging is prevented from falling below the lower limit (three music pieces). This is because the number of songs is better from the user's standpoint.

  For example, when the running tempo is 100 BPM, the maximum allowable number of music bars is 108 (3.09 minutes). Similarly, in the case of 110 BPM, 121 bars (3.46 minutes), in the case of 120 BPM, 133 bars (3.80 minutes), in the case of 130 BPM, 146 bars (4.17 minutes), in the case of 155 BPM, 177 bars (5) 0.06 minutes), 196 bars (5.60 minutes) for 170 BPM, and 210 bars for 190 BPM and 220 BPM (6.00 minutes). Note that the playback time in FIG. 9C is the playback time at 140 BPM. Here, since the allowable maximum value of the playback time of one song at 140 BPM is 6 minutes, the maximum allowable number of music bars is 210 bars at the maximum.

  In addition, when the file time is 30 minutes, the maximum allowable number of music bars is 210 bars at any tempo.

  In the following, a specific method of creating the jogging main part will be described by dividing into a case where the tempo is constant and a case where the tempo is increased.

(2.3.1) When the tempo is constant In the example shown in FIG. 10, all the music data of 140 BPM of tempo is converted into music data of 160 BPM, and the main part of jogging with a file time of 30 minutes (total number of bars of 1200 files) It is an example in the case of making, and as music main body data, ten music main body data of the music A-the music J shall be selected in this music selection order. As inter-music connection data, 12 inter-music connection data from the inter-music part a of 12 bars to the inter-music part 1 of 144 bars are prepared in addition to the inter-music data of the prelude and the follower. Yes.

  The control unit 11 converts the music main body data and the inter-music connection data into music main body data and inter-music connection data at a tempo of 160 BPM, while changing the data based on the key data corresponding to the user who uses those keys. Here, the performance time of each music is the original 7/8 (140 BPM / 160 BPM).

  Then, the control unit 11 inserts the pre-music connection data at the beginning of the jogging main part, and inserts the subsequent music connection data at the end of the jogging main part. Moreover, the control part 11 inserts the music main body data of the music A to the music J in the order of this music between the connection data between the prelude songs and the connection data between the succeeding songs.

  The number of measures in the main part of the jogging at this time, that is, the total number of measures of the prelude, the song A to the song J, and the follower is less than 1200 measures, which is the number of measures corresponding to a file time of 30 minutes at 160 BPM. And the control part 11 inserts between the music piece part data of the appropriate length among each music main body data between the music part a-music part l, respectively, and the final number of measures of a jogging main part is carried out. Is adjusted to be 1200 bars which is the total number of bars in the file. Inter-song connecting data in the inter-song part is prepared at intervals of 12 bars, so the difference between the number of bars corresponding to the file time and the actual number of bars in the main part of jogging to be created must be at most ± 6 bars. Can do. In this way, it is not always necessary to create the main jogging so as to be exactly 1200 bars, and there may be some deviation.

  In addition, the control unit 11 adjusts the number of bars in each inter-music part so that the number of bars in the inter-music part located at the center is as large as possible. This is because by concentrating long music pieces in one place, the other music pieces are shortened, and the impression that the music pieces are extended is not given to the user. Moreover, sharpness is born by inserting a long inter-music part between the music located in the center. In other positions, inter-musical portions are inserted so that the number of measures is as small as possible and the lengths are uniform. In the example shown in FIG. 10, since ten songs in total are selected, a 144-bar inter-music portion is inserted between the fifth song E and the sixth song F. Between the songs, a 12-bar or 24-bar inter-music part is inserted.

  In addition, it is not always necessary to insert an inter-music portion having a large number of measures between music pieces located at the center, and it is not necessary to insert it only at one place. For example, an inter-music part having a large number of measures may be inserted after the entire one-third music has been completed, and an inter-music part having a large number of measures may be inserted after one-third of the music has been completed. However, in order not to give the impression of being extended, it is desirable that the number of places where the number of measures is inserted is made as small as possible (for example, at most half or less between all songs).

  Inter-song inter-song data is the music used to connect each music body in a musically (hearingly) natural way by connecting the songs of each music body between the songs. It is data.

  Here, as described with reference to FIG. 3, the music main body data is the jogging arrangement drum base WAV data 106 (this jogging arrangement drum base WAV) into the WAV data in which the key of the music main body converted from the music main body MIDI data 105 is changed. The key of the data 106 itself is not changed) and is created. At this time, jogging arrangement drum base WAV data 106 having a rhythm pattern matching the tone of the music body is selected.

  If the rhythm patterns of the music pieces constituting the jogging music data are all the same, as the linking data between the tunes in the tune part, if only the data of the same rhythm pattern is prepared, Since the rhythm pattern does not change before and after connection, you can continue playing in a natural way. However, in the case where the rhythm pattern of the music body differs from song to song, with one pattern, the rhythm pattern changes abruptly before and after connection of each song, making it unnatural musically.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when there are two or more rhythm patterns of a plurality of music main bodies constituting the music data for jogging, in accordance with this, the connection data between the songs in the inter-music part of the plurality of rhythm patterns Prepare.

  For example, if the rhythm pattern of one music body is different from the rhythm pattern of the next music body, the performance starts with the same (or close) rhythm pattern as that of the music body at the part connected to the previous music body In the part connected to the next song body, the performance ends with the same (or close) rhythm pattern as the song body, and the rhythm pattern gradually changes as the performance progresses. Prepare a part. Even in this case, the keys of the parts other than the jogging arrangement drum base WAV data 106 are changed based on the key data.

  For example, when two patterns of X and Y are mixed as rhythm patterns of a plurality of music main bodies constituting the music data for jogging, the rhythm pattern is a constant X portion, a constant Y portion. There are four inter-music parts, inter-music part changing from X to Y, and inter-music part changing from Y to X. In this case, the rhythm pattern has an X constant music interval portion a1, a Y constant music interval portion a2, an inter song portion a3 that changes from X to Y, and an inter song portion a4 that changes from Y to X).

  The control unit 11 recognizes the rhythm pattern of the music body by referring to the music information of the music body data before and after the music between which the music part is inserted, and between the music of the music part which becomes the rhythm pattern corresponding to this Insert splice data.

  Here, when the control unit 11 connects the music main body data and the inter-music piece connection data, the first measure of the music main body and the inter-music piece portion (when the music main body is the first song of the file) Is connected with the last bar of the prelude) overlapping. This is to naturally connect the main body start portion of the music beginning with the syncopation and the end portion of the inter-music portion.

  In other words, in syncopation across measures, actual performance may start at the end of the first measure. For example, assume that the performance starts at the fourth beat of the first measure. Then, no melody will be played for the first three beats of the first measure, so it is musically unnatural at the connection between the last part of the inter-music part and the first part of the music body. A part is made. Therefore, the first one bar of the music body and the last one bar between the music pieces are overlapped. In the music body that does not start with syncopation, the first bar is created with no sound. Then, the control unit 11 uniformly overlaps the music main body and the music interval part by one bar.

  For this reason, when calculating the number of measures, it is necessary to subtract one measure from the number of measures of each music body.

  Note that the tune pattern data of the prelude inserted before the first song body of the jogging main part uses the same (or close) rhythm pattern data as that of the main part of the jogging main part. It is desirable to use rhythm pattern data that is the same as (or close to) the rhythm pattern of the music body as the inter-song tune connection data to be inserted later.

(2.3.2) When the tempo increases When the tempo increases, that is, when the key after change is constant and the initial tempo <the final tempo, the tempo is constant except for the tempo adjustment. This is basically the same as the case. In other words, if the tempo changes during playback, the number of measures in each song does not change, so if the total number of measures in the file is fixed, the number of measures in the main part of the jogging to be created can be easily adjusted be able to.

  For example, if it is attempted to adjust this not by the number of measures but by the performance time, it becomes complicated. Because, in order to obtain the performance time of each song, first, the tempo of each must be obtained. However, if the playback position of each song (elapsed time since the start of playback of the jogging main part) is not known, an appropriate tempo cannot be obtained for each song. Therefore, the performance time and tempo are set temporarily, and the overall performance time is adjusted. However, the processing is obviously complicated as compared with the case of adjusting the number of measures. In addition, the processing must be changed between a case where the tempo is constant and a case where the tempo increases. Furthermore, since the tempo that has been set may deviate from the actual tempo, the error between the calculated overall performance time and file time may increase due to this. Such an inconvenience does not occur if the number of measures is adjusted.

  Next, the tempo is adjusted in units of measures. Specifically, the tempo of the first measure of the main jogging is set as the initial tempo, the tempo of the last measure is set as the final tempo, and the measures in the meantime are adjusted so that the tempo changes gently from the initial tempo to the final tempo. For example, if the initial tempo is 160 BPM, the final tempo is 170 BPM, and the total number of bars in the file is 1200 bars, the first bar is 160 BPM, and each bar has a tempo that increases by 1/120 BPM after each bar. Adjust the tempo.

(3) Operation of Music Distribution Server (3.1) Main Process Next, the operation of the music distribution server 1 will be described. First, the main process will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a processing example in the main processing of the control unit 11 of the music distribution server 1 according to the present embodiment.

  First, when the user PC 2 accesses the music distribution server 1 by a user operation, as shown in FIG. 11, the control unit 11 of the music distribution server 1 executes a login process (step S1). Specifically, the control unit 11 receives a user ID, a password, and the like from the user PC 2 and performs an authentication process to specify a user.

  Subsequently, the control part 11 performs a course selection process (step S2). Specifically, the control unit 11 transmits a predetermined course selection WEB page to the user PC 2 to cause the user to select a training course as described in FIG. 4, and information on the selected training course is stored in the user PC 2. Receive from.

  Next, the control unit 11 transmits a predetermined WEB page to the user PC 2, causes the user to input his / her weight and sex, and his / her desired key, and receives these pieces of information from the user PC 2 (step S3). This user's weight is used to calculate the user's calorie consumption during jogging, and gender is used to determine the final training course. Because there is a difference in athletic ability depending on gender, the content (specifically, jogging time and tempo) varies slightly depending on gender even in the same training course. The key data corresponding to the input key is used to change the key of each piece of music data as described above.

  Here, as a method for inputting the user's key (in other words, information indicating the sound range that can be generated by the user) in step S3, for example, a specific key code indicating the sound range that can be generated by the user is input. It is also good to do. Alternatively, the highest voice and the lowest voice that can be generated by the user may be actually uttered, and frequency data indicating each may be input as sound range data indicating a sound range that the user can utter.

  Next, the control unit 11 determines a final training course based on the training course information and gender information received from the user PC 2 (step S4).

  In step S2, if the identified user does not change the training course selected by the previous time, the processing of step S3 may be omitted, and the training course information may be acquired from the user training information.

  Next, the control unit 11 determines a step (step S5). Specifically, the control unit 11 first transmits a WEB page presenting recommended steps on the system side to the user PC 2. For example, when a new training course is selected this time, Step 1 is recommended, and when the previous training course is not changed, the current step and music data for jogging of the training course are downloaded first. An appropriate step is recommended depending on the number of days since the day. Here, when the user accepts the presented step by operating the user PC 2, a request to that effect is transmitted from the user PC 2 to the music distribution server 1, while the user changes the step. The request to that effect is transmitted from the user PC 2 to the music distribution server 1. And the control part 11 determines a step based on this request.

  Next, the control unit 11 acquires the jogging time, the initial tempo, and the end tempo corresponding to the determined training course and step from the course information, and sets them in a predetermined area on the RAM (step S6).

  Next, the control unit 11 sets the file times FT (1) to FT (N) based on the jogging time as described in FIG. For example, the controller 11 sets N = 1 and FT (1) = 15 when the jogging time is 15 minutes, and N = 2 and FT (1 when the jogging time is 45 minutes. ) = 30 and FT (2) = 15.

  Next, the control unit 11 sets the file name of the warm-up song (step S8). Specifically, the control unit 11 sets a file name including the course number and today's date and including “1” as the serial number (for example, “001-20080701-1.MP3” etc., where “001” "Is the course number," 2008701 "is the date, and" 1 "is the serial number).

  As will be described later, the control unit 11 sets the file name while increasing the serial number for the jogging main part and the cool down song according to the above naming rule. This is a file in the prescribed order (warming up music, first file of the jogging main part, second file of the jogging main part ... cool down music) when the music data for jogging is reproduced by the portable music player 3 This is for playing back. In the MP3 format data, an ID tag can be set, and the track number can also be included in this ID tag. There is no problem if the portable music player 3 determines the playback order of the file by referring to the ID tag, but there is a model that does not support the ID tag. Many of these models perform reproduction in the order of file names (for example, ascending order of ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) codes (an example of character codes)). Therefore, the control unit 11 sets the file name as described above.

  Next, the control unit 11 sets 1 to the file number i (step S9).

  Next, the control unit 11 executes music composition determination processing to be described later, thereby performing music data used for creating jogging music data corresponding to the i-th jogging main part 1 file, inter-music connection data, and the performance order thereof. Is determined (step S10).

  Next, the control unit 11 executes jogging song data creation processing to create jogging song data corresponding to the i-th jogging main part 1 file (step S11).

  Next, the control unit 11 adds 1 to the file number i (step S12), and determines whether the file number i is greater than the number N of files (step S13). At this time, when the file number i is not larger than the number N of files (step S13: NO), the control unit 11 proceeds to step S10.

  On the other hand, when the file number i is greater than the number N of files (step S13: YES), the control unit 11 sets the file name of the cool down song (step S14). Specifically, the control unit 11 sets a file name including the course number and today's date and including N + 1 as the serial number.

  Next, the control unit 11 transmits the created jogging music data to the user PC 2 (step S15). Specifically, the control unit 11 transmits a download WEB page including links to the warm-up song file, the jogging main file, and the cool-down song file to the user PC 2 and selects the file to be downloaded to the user. Let And the control part 11 receives the information of URL (Uniform Resource Locator) set to the link selected by the user from PC2, and transmits the file corresponding to this URL to user PC2.

  And the control part 11 will complete | finish a main process, if a user transmits as many files as needed.

(3.2) Used Music Determination Process Next, the used music determination process will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 12 to FIG. 15 are flowcharts showing a processing example in the used music determination process of the control unit 11 of the music distribution server 1 according to the present embodiment.

  When the use song determination process is started, the control unit 11 initializes the performance list as shown in FIG. 12 (step S101).

  Next, the control unit 11 sets the travel tempo TMP in subsequent steps S102 to S105.

  Specifically, first, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the initial tempo and the end tempo match (step S102). At this time, if the initial tempo and the end tempo match (step S102: YES), the control unit 11 sets the initial tempo to the running tempo TMP (step S103), and proceeds to step S106.

  On the other hand, when the initial tempo and the end tempo do not match (step S102: NO), the control unit 11 calculates the file initial tempo and the file end tempo (step S104).

Here, the file initial tempo is the tempo of the first song in the i-th file of the main part of jogging, and the file end tempo is the tempo of the last song in the i-th file of the main part of jogging. Specifically, the control unit 11
File initial tempo = (initial tempo−end tempo) × (total of FT (1) to FT (i−1)) / jogging time
File end tempo = (initial tempo−end tempo) × (total of FT (1) to FT (i)) / jogging time is calculated.

Next, the control unit 11
(File initial tempo + file end tempo) / 2
And the calculation result is set as the running tempo TMP (step S105). After completing this process, the control unit 11 proceeds to step S106.

When the control unit 11 sets the travel tempo TMP,
TMP x FT (i) / 4
And the calculation result is set as the file total measure number FM (step S106).

  Next, the control unit 11 sets the number of measures for the prelude and the number of measures for the follower in subsequent steps S107 to S117.

  First, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the number N of files is 1 (step S107). At this time, when the number N of files is 1 (step S107: YES), the control unit 11 sets a predecessor of 4 measures at the beginning of the performance list, and adds a follower of 20 measures to the end of the performance list. Set (step S108).

  Next, when the controller 11 sets 4 for the number of prelude bars and 20 for the number of follower bars E (step S109), the control unit 11 proceeds to step S151.

  On the other hand, when the number N of files is not 1 (step S107: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether the file number i is 1 (step S110). That is, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the file that is currently being processed is the first file. At this time, if the file number i is 1 (step S110: YES), the control unit 11 sets a predecessor of four measures at the beginning of the performance list and adds a follower of four measures to the end of the performance list. Set (step S111).

  Next, the control unit 11 sets 4 to the number of prelude bars P and sets 4 to the number of follower bars E (step S112), the process proceeds to step S151.

  On the other hand, when the file number i is not 1 (step S110: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the file number i matches the number of files N (step S113). That is, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the file that is currently being processed is the last file. At this time, if the file number i matches the number of files N (step S113: YES), the control unit 11 sets an 8 bar prelude at the beginning of the performance list and 20 bars at the end of the performance list. A follower is set (step S114).

  Next, when the controller 11 sets 8 for the prelude bar number P and 20 for the follower bar number E (step S115), the control unit 11 proceeds to step S151.

  On the other hand, if the file number i does not match the number N of files (step S113: NO), the control unit 11 sets an 8 bar prelude at the beginning of the performance list and after the 4 bars at the end of the performance list. A performance is set (step S116).

  Next, the control unit 11 sets 8 to the number of predecessor measures P and sets 4 to the number of follower measures E (step S117), and then proceeds to step S151.

  When the controller 11 sets the number of measures for the prelude and the number of measures for the follower, the controller 11 sets the allowable longest music measure number MPM in subsequent steps S151 to S165.

  First, as shown in FIG. 13, the controller 11 determines whether or not the file time FT (i) is 30 minutes (step S151). At this time, if the file time FT (i) is 30 minutes (step S151: YES), the control unit 11 sets 210 as the allowable longest music measure number MPM (step S152), and proceeds to step S166. To do.

  On the other hand, when the file time FT (i) is 15 minutes (step S151: NO), the controller 11 determines whether or not the running tempo TMP is 190 BPM or more (step S153). At this time, when the running tempo TMP is 190 BPM or more (step S153: YES), the control unit 11 sets 210 as the allowable longest music measure number MPM (step S154), and proceeds to step S166.

  On the other hand, when the travel tempo TMP is less than 190 BPM (step S153: NO), the controller 11 determines whether the travel tempo TMP is 170 BPM or more (step S155). At this time, if the running tempo TMP is 170 BPM or more (step S155: YES), the control unit 11 sets 196 as the allowable maximum music measure number MPM (step S156), and proceeds to step S166.

  On the other hand, when the travel tempo TMP is less than 170 BPM (step S155: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the travel tempo TMP is 155 BPM or more (step S157). At this time, if the running tempo TMP is equal to or greater than 155 BPM (step S157: YES), the control unit 11 sets 177 as the allowable maximum music measure number MPM (step S158), and proceeds to step S166.

  On the other hand, when the travel tempo TMP is less than 155 BPM (step S157: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the travel tempo TMP is 130 BPM or more (step S159). At this time, if the running tempo TMP is 130 BPM or more (step S159: YES), the control unit 11 sets 146 as the allowable maximum music measure number MPM (step S160), and proceeds to step S166.

  On the other hand, when the travel tempo TMP is less than 130 BPM (step S159: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the travel tempo TMP is 120 BPM or more (step S161). At this time, when the running tempo TMP is 120 BPM or more (step S161: YES), the control unit 11 sets 133 as the allowable longest music measure number MPM (step S162), and proceeds to step S166.

  On the other hand, when the travel tempo TMP is less than 120 BPM (step S161: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether the travel tempo TMP is 110 BPM or more (step S163). At this time, if the running tempo TMP is 110 BPM or more (step S163: YES), the control unit 11 sets 121 as the allowable longest music measure number MPM (step S164), and proceeds to step S166.

  On the other hand, when the running tempo TMP is less than 110 BPM (step S163: NO), the control unit 11 sets 108 as the allowable longest music measure number MPM (step S165), and proceeds to step S166.

  When setting the allowable maximum music measure number MPM, the control unit 11 selects a plurality of music pieces constituting the jogging main part in subsequent steps S166 to S176.

  First, the control unit 11 sets 0 for the selected music number S and sets 0 for the total music bar number M (step S166). Here, the selected music number S is the number of music pieces selected so far, and the total music bar number M is the total number of music bars selected so far.

  Next, the control unit 11 performs a music selection process for selecting the first music (step S167).

  In the music selection process, the control unit 11 first refers to the history information of the identified user, the album, artist or genre (hereinafter simply referred to as “album etc.”) selected by the user up to the previous time, A WEB page that presents a list of songs included in an album or the like is transmitted to the user PC 2.

  Here, when the user selects a song from the list by operating the user PC 2 without changing the presented album or the like to another album or the like, a song selection request for the song (music designation information) Is transmitted from the user PC 2 to the music distribution server 1.

  On the other hand, when the user changes the presented album or the like to another album or the like, an album selection request (an example of album designation information) such as the selected album is transmitted from the user PC 2 to the music distribution server 1. In response to this, the control unit 11 transmits to the user PC 2 WEB page data that presents a list of albums or a search menu of albums. When the user selects an album or the like and selects a desired song from a plurality of songs included in the album or the like, a song selection request (an example of song designation information) for the song is sent from the user PC 2 to the song distribution server 1. Sent to.

  In this selection of music, a plurality of music having the same attribute, such as a package for each hit song by age group or a package for each performer (artist) who plays it, is selected for all the stored music. Can be combined into one package, and a keyword indicating the attribute of each package can be attached to the user and presented to the user. According to this configuration, the user can select a plurality of pieces of music having the desired attribute more quickly by selecting a piece of music for each package.

  The control part 11 specifies and selects the music data of the 1st music by receiving this selection request. And the control part 11 sets the selected music to the 1st music of a performance list.

  Here, when the control unit 11 causes the user to select a song, the control unit 11 restricts the number of measures of the selectable music to be equal to or less than the allowable longest music bar number MPM. For example, when the control unit 11 transmits a WEB page that presents a list of songs to the user PC 2, the control unit 11 excludes songs having more measures than the allowable maximum number of music measures MPM from the list.

  In addition, after the album or the like is selected at the time of selecting the first song, when the user selects, for example, “Random selection”, the control unit 11 side selects a plurality of songs included in the selected album or the like. A predetermined music piece may be automatically selected in the order of performance, or a music piece may be selected at random. Even in such a case, the control unit 11 selects only the music whose number of bars is equal to or less than the allowable longest music bar number MPM.

  Next, the control unit 11 sets 1 to the selected song number S, calculates M + (the number of measures of the first song minus 1), and sets the calculation result to the total number of song measures M (step S168).

  Next, the control unit 11 executes a music selection process for selecting the second music (step S169), and then sets 2 as the number of selected music S and M + (the number of measures of the second music minus 1). And the calculation result is set as the total number of music bars M (step S170).

  Next, the control unit 11 executes a music selection process for selecting the third music (step S171), and then sets 3 to the selected music number S and M + (the number of measures of the third music minus 1). And the calculation result is set to the total number of music bars M (step S172).

  Next, the control unit 11 determines whether FM− (P + E + M + S × 6) is equal to or greater than the value of the allowable longest music measure number MPM (step S173). In other words, the control unit 11 determines that the remaining number of measures at the current time, excluding the prelude, the postlude, the number of measures for the S songs selected so far and the number of measures for the S songs between the songs, is S + 1. It is determined whether or not the number of measures is selectable.

  At this time, if FM− (P + E + M + S × 6) is equal to or larger than the value of the allowable longest music bar number MPM (step S173: YES), the control unit 11 performs a music selection process for selecting the S + 1 music. Execute (Step S174).

Next, the control unit 11
M + ((S + 1) number of measures in the song-1)
And the calculation result is set to the total number of music bars M (step S175).

  Next, the control unit 11 adds 1 to the number of selected songs S (step S176), and proceeds to step S173.

  In this way, the control unit 11 selects music one after another, and when the music cannot be entered, that is, when FM− (P + E + M + S × 6) becomes less than the allowable longest music bar number MPM. (Step S173: NO), the process proceeds to Step S201.

  When the selection of the music piece is completed, the control unit 11 sets the inter-music part having as many bars as possible between the music pieces located at the center in the subsequent steps S201 to S228.

  First, the control unit 11 sets 0 for the total number of measures K between songs and sets S-1 for the number Z of unset songs (step S201). Here, the total number of measures between songs K is the total number of measures between songs whose number of measures is determined at the present time, and the number of unset songs Z is the number of measures between songs that are not currently set in the performance list. It is a number.

  Next, the control unit 11 determines whether (FM− (P + E + M + 144)) / (S−2) is 12 or more (step S202). That is, even if the control unit 11 sets 144 inter-music parts between the songs located in the center, whether or not it can set at least 12 inter-music parts between the remaining music pieces. Judgment is made. At this time, when (FM− (P + E + M + 144)) / (S−2) is 12 or more (step S202: YES), the control unit 11 sets 144 as the set measure number J (step S203). Then, the process proceeds to step S225.

  On the other hand, when (FM− (P + E + M + 144)) / (S−2) is less than 12 (step S202: NO), the control unit 11 sets (FM− (P + E + M + 132)) / (S−2) to 12. It is determined whether or not this is the case (step S204). At this time, when (FM− (P + E + M + 132)) / (S−2) is 12 or more (step S204: YES), the control unit 11 sets 132 as the set measure number J (step S205). Then, the process proceeds to step S225.

  On the other hand, when (FM− (P + E + M + 132)) / (S−2) is less than 12 (step S204: NO), the control unit 11 determines that (FM− (P + E + M + 120)) / (S−2) is 12. It is determined whether or not this is the case (step S206). At this time, when (FM− (P + E + M + 120)) / (S−2) is 12 or more (step S206: YES), the control unit 11 sets 120 as the set measure number J (step S207). Then, the process proceeds to step S225.

  On the other hand, when (FM− (P + E + M + 120)) / (S−2) is less than 12 (step S206: NO), the control unit 11 sets (FM− (P + E + M + 108)) / (S−2) to 12. It is determined whether or not this is the case (step S208). At this time, when (FM− (P + E + M + 108)) / (S−2) is 12 or more (step S208: YES), the control unit 11 sets 108 as the set measure number J (step S209). Then, the process proceeds to step S225.

  On the other hand, when (FM− (P + E + M + 108)) / (S−2) is less than 12 (step S208: NO), the control unit 11 sets (FM− (P + E + M + 96)) / (S−2) to 12. It is determined whether or not this is the case (step S210). At this time, when (FM− (P + E + M + 96)) / (S−2) is equal to or greater than 12 (step S210: YES), the control unit 11 sets 96 as the set measure number J (step S211). Then, the process proceeds to step S225.

  On the other hand, when (FM− (P + E + M + 96)) / (S−2) is less than 12 (step S210: NO), the control unit 11 determines that (FM− (P + E + M + 84)) / (S−2) is 12. It is determined whether or not this is the case (step S212). At this time, when (FM− (P + E + M + 84)) / (S−2) is 12 or more (step S212: YES), the control unit 11 sets 84 as the set measure number J (step S213). Then, the process proceeds to step S225.

  On the other hand, when (FM− (P + E + M + 84)) / (S−2) is less than 12 (step S212: NO), the control unit 11 sets (FM− (P + E + M + 72)) / (S−2) to 12. It is determined whether or not this is the case (step S214). At this time, when (FM− (P + E + M + 72)) / (S−2) is 12 or more (step S214: YES), the control unit 11 sets 72 as the set measure number J (step S215). Then, the process proceeds to step S225.

  On the other hand, when (FM− (P + E + M + 72)) / (S−2) is less than 12 (step S214: NO), the control unit 11 determines that (FM− (P + E + M + 60)) / (S−2) is 12. It is determined whether or not this is the case (step S216). At this time, when (FM− (P + E + M + 60)) / (S−2) is equal to or greater than 12 (step S216: YES), the control unit 11 sets the set measure number J to 60 (step S217). Then, the process proceeds to step S225.

  On the other hand, when (FM− (P + E + M + 60)) / (S−2) is less than 12 (step S216: NO), the control unit 11 determines that (FM− (P + E + M + 48)) / (S−2) is 12. It is determined whether or not this is the case (step S218). At this time, when (FM− (P + E + M + 48)) / (S−2) is 12 or more (step S218: YES), the control unit 11 sets 48 as the set measure number J (step S219). Then, the process proceeds to step S225.

  After setting the set measure number J, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the selected song number S is an even number (step S225). At this time, if the selected song number S is an even number (step S225: YES), the control unit 11 sets the inter-song portion of the number of measures set in the set measure number J after the S / 2th song. (Step S226), the process proceeds to Step S228.

  On the other hand, when the selected song number S is an odd number (step S225: NO), the control unit 11 sets the number of measures between the measures set in the set measure number J after (S + 1) / 2 songs. (Step S227), the process proceeds to step S228.

  When the control unit sets the number of measures between the set number of measures J, the control unit adds the number of set measures J to the total number of measures K between songs and subtracts 1 from the unset song function Z (step). S228).

  Subsequently, the control part 11 sets an inter-music part between the remaining music in subsequent steps S251 to S278.

  First, as shown in FIG. 15, the control unit 11 subtracts 1 from the number of selected songs S (step S251), and determines whether or not the unset song function Z is 0 (step S252). That is, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the inter-music part is set between all the music.

  At this time, if the unset music function Z is not 0 (step S252: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether (FM− (P + E + M + K)) / Z is larger than 132 (step S253). . In other words, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the total number of measures is less than the total number of measures in the file even if the 132-measure interval part is set for all remaining intervals.

At this time, if (FM− (P + E + M + K)) / Z is greater than 72 (step S263: YES), the control unit 11 sets 84 to the set measure number J (step S264), and proceeds to step S276. To do.

  On the other hand, when (FM− (P + E + M + K)) / Z is equal to or less than 72 (step S263: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether (FM− (P + E + M + K)) / Z is greater than 60. (Step S265). At this time, when (FM− (P + E + M + K)) / Z is larger than 60 (step S265: YES), the control unit 11 sets 72 to the set measure number J (step S266), and proceeds to step S276. To do.

  On the other hand, when (FM− (P + E + M + K)) / Z is 60 or less (step S265: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether (FM− (P + E + M + K)) / Z is larger than 48. (Step S267). At this time, when (FM− (P + E + M + K)) / Z is larger than 48 (step S267: YES), the control unit 11 sets the set bar number J to 60 (step S268), and proceeds to step S276. To do.

  On the other hand, when (FM− (P + E + M + K)) / Z is equal to or less than 48 (step S267: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether (FM− (P + E + M + K)) / Z is greater than 36. (Step S269). At this time, if (FM− (P + E + M + K)) / Z is greater than 36 (step S269: YES), the control unit 11 sets 48 to the set measure number J (step S270), and proceeds to step S276. To do.

  When setting the set measure number J, the control unit 11 refers to the performance list and determines whether or not the inter-song portion has already been set after the S-th song (step S276). At this time, if the inter-music part is already set after the S-th music (step S276: YES), the control unit 11 proceeds to step S251.

  On the other hand, if the inter-song portion has not yet been set after the S-th song (step S276: NO), the control unit 11 changes the inter-song portion of the number of measures set to the set measure number J after the S-th song. set.

  Next, the control unit 11 adds the set measure number J to the total number of measures K between songs and subtracts 1 from the unset song function Z (step S228), and proceeds to step S251.

  In this way, the control unit 11 sets the inter-music part between all the songs by repeatedly executing the processes of steps S251 to S278, and when the inter-music part is set, the unset music function is set in step S252. When it is determined that Z is 0 (step S252: YES), the song used determination process is terminated.

(3.3) Jogging Music Data Creation Processing Next, jogging music data creation processing will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating a processing example in the jogging music data creation process of the control unit 11 of the music distribution server 1 according to the present embodiment.

  When the jogging music data creation process is started, as shown in FIG. 16, the control unit 11 acquires the music body data of the music set in the performance list from the parts WAV data database and sets it in the performance list. The inter-song connection data of the prelude, the post-play, and the inter-song portion that is being used is acquired from the part WAV data database (step S301). At this time, the connection data between the pieces of music is acquired according to the rhythm pattern of the music main body data connected before that and the rhythm pattern of the music main body data connected thereafter.

  Next, the control unit 11 connects the acquired music body data and inter-music connection data in the order set in the performance list, and creates WAV data of the jogging main part (step S302). At this time, the control unit 11 connects the first one bar of each music piece and the last one bar of the previous inter-music part in an overlapping manner.

  Next, the control unit 11 changes the key in the created WAV data of the jogging main part to the key indicated by the key data acquired from the user in step S3 (step S303). As a result, the music body data and inter-music connection data keys constituting the jogging main part are changed to keys desired by the user.

  Here, the key change process in step S303 is specifically based on the range data indicating the range input by the user in the process of step S3 (that is, the range data indicating the key code or the utterable range). The key in the WAV data of the jogging main part is changed to be a key in the sound range indicated by the sound range data.

  Next, the control unit 11 converts the WAV data of the main part of jogging while adjusting the tempo in units of measures so that the tempo smoothly changes from the initial tempo to the final tempo of the file. (Step S304). As a result, when initial tempo = final tempo, all measures become the same tempo, and when initial tempo <final tempo, the tempo slightly increases for each measure.

  Next, the control unit 11 synthesizes the voice data of the guidance voice with the inter-music connection data of the inter-music part set between the music at the corresponding positions (step S305).

  Next, the control unit 11 uses the encoder unit 14 to convert the format of the jogging main part to the MP3 format, thereby creating a file of music data for i-th jogging, and stores the file in the storage unit 12. (Step S306).

  Next, the control unit 11 sets the file name of the i-th song data for jogging (step S307). Specifically, the control unit 11 sets a file name including the course number and today's date and including i + 1 as the serial number.

  In this way, the control unit 11 stores the jogging music data whose key is changed to a desired person so that it can be downloaded by the user PC 2. That is, the control unit 11 performs jogging so that the jogging music data corresponding to the URL transmitted from the user PC 2 based on the user's selection from the download WEB page can be acquired from the storage unit 12 and transmitted. The musical composition data is stored by setting the path and file name indicating the storage position.

  When this process is finished, the controller 11 ends the jogging music data creation process.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the music data corresponding to the part excluding the jogging arrangement drum base WAV data 106 in which the key is changed based on the user's instruction, and the jogging arrangement with the key as it is. The drum base WAV data 106 generates a listening music and distributes it to the user so that the user can listen to the listening music including the key music that matches the user's preference while maintaining the rhythm. Can be made.

  Accordingly, since the listening music with the key changed so that the user can easily listen and for example, it is easy to kiss, the user can enjoy the desired music without any discomfort.

  In addition, since the key of the part other than the jogging arrangement drum base WAV data 106 in each of the music composing the listening music distributed to the user is changed to the key designated by the user, the user is consistent. It is possible to continue the exercise comfortably while listening to the listening music with the keys.

  Furthermore, since the listening music is generated so that the tempo at the end of one music and the tempo at the beginning of the other music to be played next are continuous, a key and rhythm that suits the user's preference. You can exercise while listening to listening music.

  In the embodiment described above, the key is consistent with the same key for one listening music distributed to the user, but in addition to this, the time (elapsed time) when the user performed exercise or the like. Accordingly, the key can be changed so that it gradually becomes higher in one listening music.

  In this case, the key of the part excluding the jogging arrangement drum base WAV data 106 in each of the music pieces constituting the listening music distributed to the user becomes higher with the progress of the playback time of the listening music (e.g., the progress of exercise). Since the change is made, the user can continue the exercise while listening to the listening music continuously in the so-called running high state even if the user becomes physically difficult due to the continuation of the exercise.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the interlude song connection data and the follower song connection data are inserted into the jogging song data. However, only one of them may be inserted. It is good that none of them are inserted.

  In addition, the music distribution server 1 in the above embodiment creates jogging music data to be listened to while jogging as exercise music. For example, marathon or walking is performed. It may be configured to create athletic music that is heard at the time, or create athletic music that is heard when performing aerobics, yoga, Pilates method, martial arts, boot camp, dance, etc. You may comprise so that it may do.
