Further, the reproduction interruption information detecting means, the transmission interruption requesting means, the interruption position detecting means, the reproduction restart information detecting means, and the transmission restart requesting means are implemented here by each program held in the CPU 1 and the recording device 2. Other one or more units may be substituted.

【0018】

FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram for explaining an embodiment of a state transition relating to content reproduction and interruption in the mobile terminal device according to the present invention.

【0019】

Regarding content playback, there are three states: playback stop state 301, playback state 302, and playback interruption state 303. The transition from the playback stop state 301 to the playback state 302 is due to the playback start event, the transition from the playback state 302 to the playback stop state 301 is due to the playback stop event, and the transition from the playback state 302 to the playback interruption state 303 is due to the playback interruption event. , The transition from the reproduction interrupted state 303 to the reproduction state 302 is performed by the reproduction restart event, and the transition from the reproduction interrupted state 303 to the reproduction stop state 301 is performed by the reproduction stop event. The state and the occurrence of the event are managed by CPU1.

【0020】

The playback start event is generated, for example, by a user request from key 3. When the playback start event occurs, the mobile terminal 104 transitions from the playback stop state 301 to the playback state 302, and starts playing the content.

【0021】

The playback interruption event is, for example, a process in which the CPU 1 can control other than the playback interruption instruction when the playback interruption instruction is input from the key 3 by the user, for example, a user operation such as a call start, or a mobile terminal base station 103. Occurs when a call start request or mail reception (hereinafter referred to as "interrupt processing") occurs, or when the power of the terminal battery that operates the mobile terminal 104 is low and the interruption condition is satisfied. To do. The interruption condition is satisfied when the priority added to each of the above-mentioned playback interruption instruction, interrupt processing, or battery power reduction is higher than the priority added to the content reproduction. The priority is uniquely determined by the program or determined by the control priority table recorded in the recording device 2, and the priority determined by the program, the priority on the control priority table, and the priority of the content being played are played. The priority is determined by comparison with. When the playback interruption event occurs, the mobile terminal 104 transitions from the reproduction state 302 to the reproduction interruption state 303, and interrupts the reproduction of the content.

【0022】

The playback restart event occurs, for example, when the user inputs a playback restart instruction from the key 3, the interrupt processing is completed, or the power of the mobile battery is restored. When the playback resume event occurs, the mobile terminal 104 transitions from the playback interrupted state 303 to the playback state 302, and resumes the playback of the content.

【0023】

The playback stop event is generated, for example, by a user request from key 3. When the playback stop event occurs, the mobile terminal 104 transitions from the playback state 302 or the playback interruption state 303 to the playback stop state 301, and stops the playback of the content.

【0024】

FIG. 4 is a control priority table showing an embodiment of control priority. The control priority table holds the control 402 corresponding to the priority 401. In the control 402 shown in FIG. 4, priorities are set in the order of call, video playback, and mail reception. The content currently being played and the priority of this table are determined, and the playback is interrupted when the content having a higher priority than the content being played is received. In this table, the priority when the instruction to interrupt the playback is input from the key 3 by the user or when the power of the terminal battery for operating the mobile terminal 104 is low is excluded, but these priorities are re-used. Since it has priority, it is processed with the highest priority even if it is not placed on the table. Of course, these processes may be placed on the table as the highest priority process. The control priority table may be composed of only the control 402 and recorded in the order of priority. Further, the priority may be changed by a user request from the key 3. Further, the control 402 may be set more finely. For example, regarding the call start request or mail reception from the mobile terminal base station 103, which is one of the interrupt processing, for each sender of the call or mail, or for the battery power reduction, there are several steps for each battery voltage. It may be possible to set the priority by dividing into. The playback resume event may not only be generated by a user request from the key 3, but may also be made to resume playback by detecting that the event that interrupted the playback, for example, the reception of a call or mail has ended.

【0025】

Next, when the content distributed from the distribution station 101 via the mobile terminal base station 103 is played back in real time on the mobile terminal 104, the mobile terminal 104 and the distribution station 101 from the playback state 302 to the playback interruption state 303. The operation of is described.

【0026】

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the mobile terminal from the playback state of the content to the playback interruption state.

【0027】

When a playback interruption event occurs in the reproduction state 302, the mobile terminal 104 transmits a reproduction interruption request to the distribution station 101 in step 501.

【0028】

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an embodiment of data to be transmitted for a reproduction interruption request.

【0029】

As shown in FIG. 6, the transmission data for the reproduction interruption request is composed of, for example, an ID (hereinafter referred to as a user ID) 601 for identifying the mobile terminal 104, a reproduction interruption request command 602, and a reproduction restart position 603. .. The playback restart position 603 is information that specifies the playback restart position of the content, and is information that indicates the front-back position or the position from the beginning of the content with reference to the playback interruption position of the content. The playback interruption position may be transmitted instead of the restart playback position 603. In this case, the content is transmitted from the reproduction interruption position or the vicinity of the reproduction interruption position (front-back position). Further, the time may be specified instead of the address indicating the playback position 603 on the content. After the data is transmitted, the process proceeds to step 502, waits for a response from the distribution station 101, receives the response data from the distribution station 101 in step 503, records the response data in the recording device 2 in step 504, and reproduces the content. To interrupt. At this time, the content name and the interruption time digitally added to the recorded content may be recorded at the same time.

【0030】

In the flowchart shown in FIG. 5, after the reproduction interruption event occurs and before the reproduction interruption request is transmitted, the user may be notified by using the display device 4 or the speaker 5 that the reproduction interruption event has occurred. Further, when a reproduction interruption event occurs, a reproduction interruption request may be automatically transmitted. Alternatively, at the time of this playback interruption notification, the user may be prompted to select whether or not to interrupt, and when the interruption is selected, the interruption request may be transmitted.

【0031】

When an instruction to suspend playback is input from key 3 by the user during content playback, or when a user operation such as starting a call, which is one of interrupt processing, is performed, the user who intends to suspend content playback Since the intention is clear, these priorities can be set higher than the priority of content reproduction, that is, the interruption condition can be satisfied, and the reproduction interruption event can be generated. When a playback interruption event occurs, the user is notified using the display device 4 or the speaker 5 to that effect, that is, that the content playback is interrupted, and then an interruption request is automatically sent even if the user does not perform any operation. You may interrupt the playback of the content.

【0032】

For example, when a call start request or mail reception from the mobile terminal base station 103, which is one of the interrupt processes, occurs during content playback, a priority is set for each sender of the call or mail, and the user It is possible to generate a playback interruption event by satisfying the interruption condition only by receiving a call or mail from only the other party that the user wants to receive. When a playback interruption event occurs, the display device 4 or the speaker 5 is used to indicate that fact, that is, that the playback interruption event has occurred, or if the sender of the call or email can be identified, the sender. At the same time, it prompts the user to choose whether or not to interrupt the playback of the content, and when the interruption of the content playback is selected by the user, a interruption request is sent to play the content. You may want to interrupt it.

【0033】

Further, for example, when the power of the mobile battery is low during content playback, the content cannot be continued to be played as it is. Therefore, the priority of the power reduction of the mobile battery is set higher than the priority of content playback and the content is interrupted. The condition can be satisfied and the playback interruption event can be generated. When a playback interruption event occurs, the user is notified using the display device 4 or the speaker 5 to that effect, that is, that the content playback is interrupted, and then an interruption request is automatically sent even if the user does not perform any operation. It is also possible to interrupt the playback of the content.

【0034】

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing response data from the distribution station.

【0035】

The response data includes the authentication ID used for the authentication at the time of requesting the resumption of playback, and refers to the data transmitted from the distribution station 101 to the mobile terminal 104. The authentication ID refers to data that can identify information necessary for the user to continuously resume playback of the interrupted content, and may be data including, for example, a user ID, a content number, and a playback restart point. Alternatively, an ID may be assigned to each record in the table in which these are recorded, and the ID (hereinafter referred to as "playback restart ID") may be used as the authentication ID. Here, as shown in FIG. 7, the response data is composed of a user ID 701, a playback restart ID 702 used for authentication at the time of a playback restart request, and a playback restart expiration date 703. Here, the expiration date 703 indicates a time during which a playback restart request can be accepted from the time of the interruption request. That is, even if the playback terminal 104 requests the playback restart with the playback restart ID whose valid time has passed, it is possible to add a restriction that the playback is not restarted.

【0036】

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an embodiment of the operation of the distribution station when the transmission data requesting the interruption of playback is received from the mobile terminal.

【0037】
