Through the terminal, the unique ID stored in the terminal is read in advance, and then transmitted to the database server of the head office or the product provider.

That is, the step of selecting whether to order the customer (S100), and automatically leads the user ID of the user through the user's terminal, if the customer is a new sign-up, if the customer is a new store and already used Checking whether or not the same as the data stored in the database server 40 (S200), and if there is a permission in the above step to search by a variety of content so that the user can easily find the desired media file (S210) And searching for data on the media file in step S210, inputting the media file in step S220, and after the media file selected by the user in step S220 is transmitted to the product supplier, Transmitting the selected media file (S300) and, if there is no permission in the step (S200) to re-enter the correct ID form In the requesting step (S400) and the media file requested by the customer by the execution of the step (S300) is transmitted to the terminal desired by the customer to display the relevant information about the media file content, cost, time, date, etc. to the customer After the step S500 and the step S500, the process is performed as a step S600 in which a billing fee is charged by the cost settlement agency and a customer pays a fee.

In the above step (S100), when the customer purchases a gift certificate and wants to download the media file using it, the user can download the specific media file by filling in the contents displayed on the gift certificate, and these gift certificates are usually distributed on the market. It is used the same as, but the only difference is that the password displayed on the gift certificate is processed so that only the person who purchased the gift certificate can know.

For example, when scratching with a hand such as a one-time lottery ticket, a certain password is written in it, and a customer who receives a gift certificate using this password can easily use it with other customers.

And if the order is not performed after performing the step (S100), the user can search for related materials or view announcements on other websites, and then ends after performing this.

In the step (S200), such as a terminal or a computer in advance, the user may install the user's ID number when the window program is installed in advance to automatically drive it when the device is driven, in this case as described above When carrying and downloading the terminal automatically reads the ID number from the server, so there is no additional difficulty, otherwise the user can use it by entering the ID number every time.

And even when installing the OS program (Windows, Linux, etc.) by automatically entering the user's ID number may be able to automatically read the ID number every time the terminal is a device.

In the step (S210), the customer can click on the desired media file to check the contents or search the data. If the desired media file cannot be found, the search function, for example, lyrics, composition, singer, contents, Use some of the lyrics to make it easier to find.

In the step (S300), if the user's right is checked after checking the ID of the customer, the media file requested by the customer is transmitted through the terminal to download and mix additional data on the customer's ID or media file. do.

In the step (S300), you can download the media file using the Internet through a computer, and even in the case of a terminal, which has recently increased exponentially, the simple Internet is possible in the future. Therefore, the media file can be received in real time through the Internet, and when the speed of the Internet increases, it is possible to listen to the media file in real time through the wireless terminal.

In addition, if the third party is not downloaded to the terminal owned by the customer through the ID of the customer, and the third party copies the downloaded file to the terminal or the computer, the customer who purchased the media file does not enter the ID in spite of having the media file. Even if you can not hear.

That is, in the step (S300) to allow the customer to download the mixer by mixing the ID, for example, the structure of a typical MP3 frame, the sampling frequency, data transmission rate, etc. includes the main information about the digital audio file 16-bit or less error correction, including 32-bit headers, information for correcting data errors due to communication errors, 256-bit or less additional information section that can contain additional information, and digital Since it consists of a data section that stores the data of the audio file, a new type of audio data is generated through a computer program to be mixed with the customer's ID in the header which constitutes the frame, and then downloaded to the terminal of the customer. To make it possible.

When the text data and the media file are mixed as described above, first, when the media file contains the text information, it is determined whether the media file contains the text information.

At this time, as in the media file when the copyright is not granted or the copyright period has expired, if there is no text information, the unit time of the counter is set to 0. If there is text information, the counter time is set by the capacity of the text information. In addition, it calculates the time, and continuously increases the count for the unit time while the media file selected by the customer is played, and displays the corresponding character while the other media file is played, and the end message when the playing time ends. Indicates.

At this time, the character judging unit of the character information recognition unit judges whether the media file has the character information, and if a right for copyright or the like is granted, a signal indicating that there is generally character information is provided. In the case of the included media file, it is determined whether the type of the character is, for example, the user ID or information about the lyrics, the writer, the composer, etc. of the media file. It indicates how much information the information occupies, and the counter unit counters the text information when it is displayed so that the media file is played at a specified time.

The step (S500) is to confirm whether the media file of the contents ordered by the customer is matched after downloading, and to confirm again to the customer, the contents of the media file and the order, time, place, download device, cost, and payment method. Information about the display is displayed.

In addition, in the step (S600), if the product provider sends the information about the amount of media files ordered by the customer each month and the order, media file, time, place, etc. to the cost settlement agency, the cost settlement agency in the customer Make payments in the manner you choose to pay, for example, by direct debit or by branch.

The customer then pays the costs in accordance with the invoice received from the billing agency, which is then notified by the billing agency to the headquarters or the product supplier and transfers a fixed amount of the amount sold to each product provider.

In this way, when the expenses remitted by the cost settlement agency are transferred to the commodity supplier, the commodity supplier remits certain expenses to the headquarters according to a predetermined ratio with the head office.

In this case, if the downloaded media file has already been downloaded and paid for, the product provider does not charge additional costs, so the customer who purchased a specific media file can download it repeatedly or listen to it for free for life. .

In the step S100, when the customer purchases a gift certificate and wants to download the media file using it, the user does not have to pay a separate fee in the step S600.

In addition, the method of downloading or listening to a media file of the present invention or the like through the Internet may be applied to a case where a user wants to present a media file or a movie file to his or her friend or another person. Most of the same, but the difference is that the person to whom the media file is sent is not a person paying for the media file, but a third party, and the data must be sent to another person's terminal.

That is, when the customer wants to present a gift in step S220, the customer checks an item called a gift and completes the process by inputting a third party's terminal phone number or an ID number related thereto.

In this case, when the third party downloads the media file through the terminal, for example, the third party can only listen through the terminal, and the third party cannot repeatedly download the media file as many times as the customer.

However, in the future, it is possible to retransmit and download a specific media file presented by the customer to another device or terminal of a third party.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, the operations and effects of the method for downloading or listening to the media file of the present invention configured as described above and listening to the Internet are as follows.

When a customer wants to download a media file, the user connects to the Internet through the terminal, and then, for example, selects a desired type of song or a singer if the customer does not know the song according to the order displayed on the screen of the terminal. If you don't know the name of the song or you don't know it, you can choose the lyrics of the song.

The selected media file is downloaded through the Internet browser 120 connected to the terminal.

That is, when the ID of the customer is transmitted to the Internet browser 120 through the terminal, the main server connected to the Internet browser 120 checks the ID, and when the license is authorized, the customer is downloaded to download the desired song.

At this time, if the customer wants a song "A", the customer's ID is mixed with the song of "A" to be downloaded.

At this time, the character judging unit of the character information recognition unit judges whether the media file has the character information, and if a right for copyright or the like is granted, a signal indicating that there is generally character information is provided. In the case of the included media file, it is determined whether the type of the character is, for example, the user ID or information about the lyrics, the writer, the composer, etc. of the media file. It indicates how much information the information occupies, and the counter unit counters the text information when it is displayed so that the media file is played at a specified time.

As such, since the media file selected by the customer includes the above additional information, the user can listen only when the ID of the terminal owned by the customer matches the ID mixed in the media file.

That is, the customer can freely download a plurality of songs through the terminal, but if he wants to listen to his or her ID is given or can only listen through the terminal after the user enters the ID, the customer The media files can be downloaded from the media file vending machine, which is one of the terminals installed in a computer or a road, without having to carry and carry a large number of media files in a storage medium.
