Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the procedure of FIG.

First, a case where a subscriber makes a reservation for music transmission to a music provider will be described. The subscriber operates the terminal 16 to make a line connection with the control unit 15 on the music provider side via the transmission / reception unit 17, N-ISDN, and transmission / reception unit 18. When the line is connected, the subscriber calls the music provider. When there is a call from the subscriber, the music provider inquires the subscriber about the registration number. The subscriber is
The registration number is sent in response to this inquiry. When the music provider collates the registration number and confirms the registration number,
Send music menu to subscribers. This music menu is displayed on the display of the terminal on the subscriber side. The subscriber selects a desired song based on the music menu displayed on the screen and sends a music transmission request to the sending / receiving unit 17.
The transmitter / receiver 17 transmits / receives via the N-ISDN 18
And to the control unit 15. The control unit 15 confirms the selected song, and sends a response and a charge display to the subscriber. After confirming the charge, the subscriber instructs the control unit 15 on a desired date and time for transmission. The control unit 15 accepts and registers the song name and the transmission date and time, and requests the subscriber to confirm. If there is no problem with this confirmation request, the subscriber instructs OK.

Next, a procedure for transmitting music information from a music provider will be described. The registered information of the control unit 15 allows the music provider to take out the specified music from the music source 9 in order to transmit the specified music to the registered subscriber at the specified time, and the conversion / storage unit 10 The extracted music signal is further converted into a high speed signal for B-ISDN and stored. The music provider calls the subscriber via the N-ISDN, and if there is a response, confirms the content registered in the control unit 15 with the subscriber. When the confirmation OK is returned from the subscriber, the transmission unit 12 transmits the high speed signal accumulated in the conversion / storage unit 10 via the B-ISDN, and the reception unit 13 receives this and stores / converts it. The unit 11 stores the received high speed signal once and then converts it into data that can be stored in the storage medium 14. The converted data is digitally stored in the portable storage medium 14. When the subscriber finishes the storage of the music data, the subscriber N-
When a confirmation inquiry is made via the ISDN, and the music provider side confirms it, the subscriber is notified of the charge. The subscriber confirms the notified charge, and if there is no problem, transmits an OK signal and ends the transmission procedure. The subscriber can take out the storage medium 14 at any time and play it on the audio device 19 to enjoy music.

Furthermore, when not only providing music but also seeing a huge amount of information immediately by applying this device,
For example, when it is desired to receive a newspaper service or a book service, it can be realized by the same method as the present invention.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the B-IS
By using DN and N-ISDN, it is possible to enjoy a large number of music sources owned by music providers at a low price at any time by people in ordinary households. For example, you can receive music over a long time, such as classical music, in a short time, so you can enjoy the music you want immediately after sending a request, and the transmission time is short, so you can use the line. The price is cheap.

By storing the received music data in a portable storage medium, the music data can be listened to any time at any time and any time, and can be changed to another music data when unnecessary. Moreover, since the storage system is a digital system, the sound quality is not deteriorated.

Further, by applying the device of the present invention, the present invention can be used not only for providing music but also for viewing a huge amount of information immediately, for example, for receiving a newspaper service or a book service. It can be implemented in the same way as.
