  • This music map is similar to the fan map as previously described, but an object thereof is the title of music or artists, and a world-wide music trend can be seen at a glance by indicating music or artists having high popularity resulting from computing the ranks on the map as a distribution chart. Furthermore, the trend may vary according to regions, may be understood based on music posting results of actual posting places, and thus the music map may have high reliability as substantial and objective data since various users participate in the uploading of music and computing of ranks.
  • the playing step S 110 may include a selection playing step of providing, from the server to the user terminal, a region menu which enables a posting location to be selected, receiving feedback on the selection, and transmitting music data matched with the selected posting location to the user terminal. That is, the user may listen to posted music of a corresponding location only when the user moves to the corresponding location, or may select a desired region through the user terminal to listen to popular posted music of the corresponding region.
  • This service may be understood as a concept of a virtual travel, and may enable the users in Korea or the like to listen to the most popular posted music in New York. In reverse, this service may enable the users in Europe to easily interact with posted music which is popular in Seoul or a place around the Gangnam Station, so that the region can be promoted, and the Korean Wave can be expanded. In particular, it is effective in inducing the user's purchase of music sources naturally through this service.
  • the selection playing step is characterized by transmitting of music data in order from highly placed music data in ranks to the user terminal through the rank computing step in the corresponding region to the user terminal when the selected region includes various posting locations. That is, various locations in which music can be posted, such as places around Gangnam Station, a specific shop or department store in Seoul may be provided. This means that when a region selected by the user is “Seoul” including these regions, music in order from highly placed music in popularity among all posted music in Seoul is played immediately.
  • this service since the user can see real street music charts for each country, this service is very effective in promoting music, places and culture in terms of a world-wide use range thereof.
  • the method for providing the social music service using the LBS according to the present invention may be linked with a social network service (SNS).
  • SNS social network service
  • the users may make friends through the user terminals, and accordingly, when a user's friend listens to music, this may be pushed as notification message to the user.
  • the pushing is intended to provide a notification, such as text messages even when a relevant application is not being driven, and is one form of a background service.
  • This enables the users to share music information to each other, to listen to music which is listened to by the users' friends through the SNS, and also enables the recommendation of relevant music to be increased by introducing the relevant music to friends.
  • FIG. 3 is a view showing a system for providing a social music service using a location based service (LBS) according to one embodiment of the present invention.
  • the system for providing the social music service using the LBS includes: a server 100 configured to receive and store data on a location at which music is to be posted and corresponding music data transmitted from a user terminal 200 , track a location of the user terminal 200 using the LBS, and transmitting music data matched with a corresponding location to the user terminal 200 when the user terminal 200 has come within a predetermined distance from the posting location.
  • the server 100 may transmit, to the user terminal 200 , music data corresponding to a posting location of the nearest distance to the user terminal 200 .
  • the system may further include a music server 120 in which a plurality of music data is pre-stored, wherein the server 100 may judge whether or not music data to be transmitted from the user terminal 200 is present in the music server 120 , and may match corresponding music data with the music sever 120 when it is present in the music server 120 or may store music data in the server 100 or in the music server 120 by receiving the music data transmitted from the user terminal 100 when the music data to be transmitted from the user terminal is not present in the music server 120 .
  • the system for providing the social music server using the LBS may be sufficiently supported by the previous description on the method for providing the social music server using the LBS, and thus the detailed description thereon will be omitted.
  • a recording medium in which a program for executing the method for providing the social music server using the LBS is recorded is configured to execute the method for providing the social music server using the LBS, including: an uploading step of receiving data on a location at which music is to be posted and corresponding music data from a user terminal and then storing the data in a server; a tracking step of tracking the location of the user terminal using the LBS in the server and detecting whether or not the user terminal has come within a predetermined distance from the posting location; and a playing step of transmitting, from the server to the user terminal, music data matched with the corresponding location when the user terminal has come within the predetermined distance from the posting location.
  • the playing step S 110 may enable music data corresponding to a positing location of the nearest distance to the user terminal transmitted from the server to the user terminal to be played.
  • a recording medium in which a program for executing the method for providing the social music service using the LBS is recorded is installed in and operated through the user terminal so that the function thereof can be shown. Even in the case where the recording medium is maintained in a state of being stored in the server, and is transmitted and distributed through other wireless communications such as the internet, it should be naturally included in the scope of rights as the same form.
