When there is a song that enters the music, it can be easily purchased on the spot.
- Fig. 1 shows the overall configuration of a system to which the present invention is applied.
- 1 is a ground station in the satellite broadcasting system.
- the ground station 1 includes audio channel materials from the audio channel program broadcasting material servers 12 A, 12 B,..., And download data from the audio data material server 13 for download. Data for displaying the screen for the graphic user interface from the GUI data server 14 is sent.
- Audio channel program broadcast material servers 12A, 12B, ... are servers that provide audio programs using audio channels. The material of this audio channel program broadcast is only audio. In each audio channel program broadcast, the same music is repeatedly broadcast for a predetermined unit time, and the music is related to a music for download described later.
- Each audio channel is independent, and there are various ways to use each audio channel. For example, one audio channel repeats the recommended song in the latest Japanese pop for a predetermined time, and the other audio channel repeats the recommended song in the latest American pop for a predetermined time. In another audio channel, the recommended music may be repeatedly broadcasted from jazz for a predetermined time. Also, a plurality of music pieces of the same artist may be divided into respective audio channels and repeatedly broadcast.
- the audio data material server 13 for download provides a plurality of audio data for download.
- This audio data for download is related to the music being broadcast on the audio channel program broadcast. That is, for example, as described above, one audio channel repeatedly broadcasts the latest recommended Japanese pop music for a predetermined time, and another audio channel recommends the latest Japanese pop music. It is assumed that a song is repeatedly broadcast for a predetermined time, and in another audio channel, a recommended song from jazz is repeatedly broadcast for a predetermined time. In this case, the audio data of the latest recommended songs of Japanese pops, the latest recommended songs of American pop songs, and the recommended songs in jazz that are picked up on the audio channel are downloaded. Provided as audio data. Since the music broadcast on the audio channel program is a music broadcast for introduction, it may contain a narration of music introduction or a commercial.
- audio data for download narration and commercials for music introductions are avoided as much as possible, and audio data is transmitted as completely as possible. Also, audio data for download has been improved in sound quality compared to audio sent in audio channel programs.
- the GU I (Graphic User Interface) data server 14 is used to form data for forming the screen of the distributed music list page and information page of each music, and the screen for EPG (Electric Program Guide). And other data. Down mouth as explained later

- the audio data for download is encrypted using key information from the key information server 15.
- data from the GUI data server 14 is, for example, MHEG 5 (Multimed ia and Hypermedia Information Coding Experts Group Phase 5).
- the multiplexed signal is further scrambled and QPSK modulated and transmitted.
- Satellite 2 has multiple transbonders.
- One transbonder has a transmission capacity of, for example, 30 Mbps.
- a parabolic antenna 21, an IRD 22 (Integrated Receiver Decoder), a storage antenna 23, and a television receiver 24 are prepared.
- the signal transmitted via the satellite 2 is received by the parabolic antenna 21.
- This received signal is converted to a predetermined frequency by an LNB (Low Noise Block Downconverter) 25 attached to the parabolic antenna 11, and the I RD 22 supplied to the I RD 22 receives the predetermined signal from the received signal. It selects the channel signal and demodulates and decodes the video signal and audio signal.
- the IRD 22 performs display processing of a music list page, information page of each music, and an EPG screen based on the received GUI data.
- the output of I RD 22 is supplied to a television receiver 24.
- the storage device 23 is for storing downloaded audio data.
- the storage device 23 it is conceivable to use an MD recorder player, a DCC recorder Z player, a DAT recorder / player, a DVD recorder Z player, or the like. It is also conceivable that a personal computer is used as the storage device 23 to store audio data in a hard disk drive or to store audio data in a CD-R.
- the IRD 22 is connected to, for example, a billing server 5 via a telephone line 4.
- An IC card in which various information is recorded is inserted into the IRD22. When audio data is downloaded, that information is recorded on the IC card.
- the information of this IC card is sent to the charging server 5 via the telephone line 4.
- the billing server 5 performs appropriate billing from the download information and bills the user. In this way, by performing appropriate charging, it is possible to protect the copyright of songs that are downplayed.
- the ground station 1 transmits the audio data serving as the audio channel material from the audio channel program broadcast material servers 12 A, 12 B,.
- the data for download from the audio data material server 13 for download and the data from the GUI data server 14 are multiplexed and transmitted.
- a graphic screen is displayed based on the data sent from the GUI data server.
- the user can view information pages for each song, and can listen to a preview of each song. Further, by performing necessary operations while viewing the graphic screen, desired audio data can be downloaded and recorded on the storage device 23.
- a list page 30 of the distributed music is displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. 2A.
- the artist names 33, 33, ..., and the song names 34, 34, 34, ... of downloadable songs are displayed, and each song can be selected.
- Buttons 35, 35, 35,... are displayed.
- the viewer searches for a song of interest while looking at the song name displayed on the list page 30. To see detailed information about each song, for example, operate the arrow key on the remote commander and press the selection button 35 for the song for which you want to get information.
