Definitions

  • This invention relates to a software program for viewing musical selections, and more particularly to a software program that can enable radio stations to post listings of musical selections for perusal by listeners and enable listeners to provide comments on the musical selections.
  • radio stations are quite good at providing consumers with exposure to new music, the ephemeral nature of the music broadcast makes it difficult for consumers to get the information they need to purchase a preferred recording. For example, consumers are often frustrated that the title of the music they are interested in is unknown to them, and that the radio stations fails to identify the title, artist or album associated with the recording. Moreover, radio broadcasts, by their nature fail to provide any way for a consumer to communicate back to the station its interest in learning about a selection, or purchasing the selection.
  • the invention includes systems and methods for viewing musical selections broadcast from a radio-station.
  • the system can include a web server that generated HTML pages that contain information representative of the play list of a radio station.
  • the list is displayed in real time and the selection currently being played in highlighted on the web page Selections that have already been played can be shown with a text field that contains the time the selection was broadcast
  • the web server can further comprise an interface or connection to a database that indexes music selections to a table of recordings, such as an album, CD or Video, and that further indexes the recording to an audio sample that can be downloaded over the Internet or other computer network to allow a consumer to listen and determine if the downloaded sample relates to the preferred selection of the consumer
  • the web server can include a transaction server for allowing the consumer to purchase the selection or associated CD
  • the web server can allow a consumer to provide comments on the musical selections purchased or broadcast
  • the systems can include a host HTTP server that supports various HTML pages, each page being configured for an individual radio station and
  • the host HTTP server is connected to a database that may be located on the same or different computer
  • the host HTTP server interfaces with the database using a standard interface programming language such as Common Gateway Interface (CGI)
  • Each HTML page contains a list of songs played by that radio station
  • the list may contain songs that have been played by the station in the past, that are currently being played, or that will be played in the future
  • the list of songs may be contained in the database and the database may create the HTML page and provide the HTML page or a pointer indicating the location of the HTML page to the HTTP server
  • the list of songs should be scrollable and able to be sorted by date and time Further, the list should indicate for each song the time and date the song was played, the title of the song, the name of the Artist who recorded the song, and the name of the
  • the HTML page containing the list of songs may optionally contain one or more additional features enabling the viewer to search for particular songs, comment on the songs played by the radio station, or actually purchase music in the form of CDs or
  • Radio station One option available to the Radio station is to enable the user to click on a particular selection and submit a purchase order for the underlying CD or cassette.
  • This order form could be generated using a standard JAVA applet or any other type of form generating program which can generate the necessary form. It is currently envisioned that the order form would require at least basic information such as the user's name, address, credit card number, the expiration date of the user's credit card, and any other information required to process a sales order. It is possible to make this a secure order form by offering the user the option of encrypting communications regarding submission of an order for music.
  • the user of the system may wish to purchase several CDs at once, and should not be prompted for the same information each time the user desires to purchase a CD. Accordingly, the system may optionally allow the user to select multiple tracks by clicking once on each desired track in the song list, and then requesting the user to click on a button labeled "submit order" or in a similar fashion.
  • This button may be, as described above, a JAVA applet, or a hot link to another HTML page designed to provide the user with a list of selected Cds, the price for each CD, the availability of the CD, and which is designed to receive input from the user as to the user's confidential information necessary to complete the sale, as described above.
  • a search function may be provided on the HTML page. Storing the song list in a database which creates the HTML page in the first instance is beneficial to facilitate this functionality since database programs are typically adept at searching, retrieving and organizing information from a large volume of data. Alternatively, other search functions could be performed on the content of the HTML page itself without querying the database.
  • Another option which may be available is to enable the user to give a satisfaction rating of any number of tracks by simply clicking on the track as it appears in the list of songs. These ratings can be organized and used as concise, instantaneous feedback by the radio station. Additionally, the user may be allowed to enter comments for use by the radio station. One way of allowing the user to provide comments would be to enable the user to select a particular song by clicking on the song in the list of songs, and then clicking on a hot button labeled "comment" or in a similar manner. This button could cause a JAVA applet to run, or could be a link to another HTML page in which the user could submit comments on the selection.
  • the type of comment entered by the user could be tailored by the radio station to a great degree by prompting the user to enter particular types of information and optionally requesting the user to answer particular questions about the selection.
  • the radio station could enable the user to simply provide narrative comments on the selection.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système et des procédés permettant de consulter des sélections musicales diffusées depuis une station de radio. A cette fin, le système peut comporter un serveur Web qui a généré des pages HTML contenant une information caractéristique de la liste de diffusion d'une station de radio. Selon une réalisation, la liste s'affiche en temps réel, la sélection en cours de restitution étant mise en évidence sur la page Web. Les sélections qui ont déjà été passées peuvent apparaître avec une zone de texte rappelant l'heure de diffusion de la sélection. Le serveur Web peut également comporter une interface ou une connexion avec une base de données reliant les sélections musicales à une table d'enregistrements telle qu'un album, un disque compact ou un vidéodisque. L'interface peut également relier les sélections à un échantillon audio qui peut se télécharger via l'Internet ou un autre réseau informatique pour permettre à un consommateur d'écouter et de déterminer si l'échantillon téléchargé se rapporte à la sélection préférée du consommateur. Le serveur Web peut éventuellement comporter un serveur de transaction permettant au consommateur d'acheter la sélection ou le disque compact associé. Selon une autre réalisation également facultative, le serveur Web peut autoriser un consommateur à fournir ses commentaires sur les sélections musicales achetées ou diffusées.
