Music search system
First Claim
1. A music search system for conducting a music search, comprising:
- a music data storage section for storing a plurality of pieces of music data so as to be associated with a corresponding one of music parameters each representing a feature of a piece of music;
a situation acquisition section for acquiring a situation parameter representing a situation surrounding a user;
a parameter converting section for converting the situation parameter acquired by the situation acquisition section into the music parameter;
a music search section for searching through the plurality of music data stored in the music data storage section using the music parameter resulted from the conversion by the parameter converting section, and selecting a piece of music to be reproduced; and
a reproducing section for reproducing the piece of music selected by the music search section.

Abstract
The present invention provides a music search system for conducting music search, which allows the user to easily listen to music matched to situation. The music search system includes a music data storage section 19, a location acquisition section 16, a parameter converting section 17, a music search section 20, and a reproducing section 15. The music data storage section 19 stores a plurality of pieces of music data so as to be associated with a corresponding one of music parameters. The location acquisition section 16 acquires a situation parameter. The parameter converting section 17 converts the situation parameter acquired by the location acquisition section 16 into the music parameter. The music search section 20 uses the music parameter resulted from conversion by the parameter converting section 17 to search through the plurality of pieces of music data stored in the music storage section 19 and selects a piece of music to be reproduced. The reproducing section 15 reproduces the piece of music selected by the music search section 20.
