Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of music data transcription, comprising the steps of: (1) as the user connecting a peripheral mobile storage apparatus with a computer, the operation system of the computer being triggered to run the program for music data transcription; (2) the looking module of program for music data transcription detecting whether there is music data file available in the computer or peripheral equipment, if “yes”, then executing step (3); else ending; (3) the taking module of the program for music data transcription taking out the detected music data files from the computer or peripheral equipments; (4) the converting module of program for music data transcription converting the taken music files into music data file with another music data format; (5) the storing module of the program for music data transcription storing the music data file with another music data format in the peripheral mobile storage apparatus. Mapping the peripheral mobile storage apparatus into the device with auto-run function and using the auto-run function to auto-start the program for music data transcription. The present invention can easily converts music data in the computer or peripheral equipments into other data formats and stores the converted music in the peripheral mobile storage apparatus for user.

Claims

1. A method of music data transcription, comprising the steps of:

Step (1) the user connecting a peripheral mobile storage apparatus with a computer, so as to trigger the operation system of said computer to run the program for music data transcription;

Step (2) the looking module of the program for music data transcription detecting whether there is music data file available in the computer itself or peripheral equipment thereof, if “

yes”

, then executing step (3);

else ending;

Step (3) the taking module of the program for music data transcription taking out the detected music data files from the computer itself or peripheral equipments;

Step (4) the converting module of the program for music data transcription converting the taken music data files into music data files with another music data format;

Step (5) the storing module of the program for music data transcription storing the music data files with another music data format in the peripheral mobile storage apparatus.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of triggering the operation system of said computer to run the program for music data transcription in step (1) is concretely described as following:

after the peripheral mobile storage apparatus is plugged into the computer, said computer recognizes the peripheral mobile storage apparatus and automatically calls the program of music data transcription in the peripheral mobile storage apparatus to perform running.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein said peripheral mobile storage apparatus maps a data startup area thereof into a device with auto-run function;

the step of said computer recognizing the peripheral mobile storage apparatus is concretely described as following;

said computer recognizes the peripheral mobile storage apparatus into a device with auto-run function.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the step of said peripheral mobile storage apparatus mapping a data startup area thereof into a device with auto-run function is concretely described as following:

said peripheral mobile storage apparatus maps the data startup area of said peripheral mobile storage apparatus into CD-ROM.

5. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein a control data is stored in said peripheral mobile storage apparatus, and the step of said peripheral mobile storage apparatus mapping a data startup area thereof into a device with auto-run function is concretely described as following:

said peripheral mobile storage apparatus determines whether to map said data startup area thereof into a device with auto-run function based on the control data.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said step (1) is concretely described as following:

the user connects a peripheral mobile storage apparatus with a computer, a control key of said peripheral mobile storage apparatus is multi-used defined as a start key of the program for music data transcription, said computer determines whether to start to call the program of music data transcription of the peripheral mobile storage apparatus to run based on the status of the key.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein step (1) is concretely described as following:

the user connects a peripheral mobile storage apparatus with a computer, a control key of said peripheral mobile storage apparatus is defined as a start key of the program for music data transcription, said computer determines whether to start to call the program of music data transcription of the peripheral mobile storage apparatus to run based on the status of the key.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein between step (2) and step (3) there is a step of said program for music data transcription prompting the user to select music needed to be transcribed;

and the step (3) is concretely described as following;

the program for music data transcription takes music data files from said computer or a peripheral apparatus in accordance with the user'"'"'s selection.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein when the detected music data files in said step (3) are multiple music data files, said taking module takes multiple music data files by turns, as one music data file is taken out, the file is outputted to the converting module and then the taking module takes next music data file till multiple detected music data files are finished taking out;

the converting module in said step (4) converts the taken music data files into other music data file with another music data format by turns, as one music data file is converted, the converted music data file with another music data format is outputted to the storing module, and then next taken music data file is converted till all taken music data files are finished converting; and

the storing module in step (5) stores music data files with another music data format by turns.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the storing module in step (5) includes a first storing sub-module and a second storing sub-module, the step of said storing module storing music data files with another music data format by turns is concretely described as following:

said first storing sub-module automatically builds a file folder on the computer locally and then stores music data files with another music data format in the local file folder on the computer orderly till all music data files with another music data format are finished storing;

After the first storing sub-module stores the first music data file with another music data format, the second storing sub-module begins copying music data files with another music data format in the local file folder on the computer to the peripheral mobile storage apparatus till all music data files with another music data format are finished copying.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the step of said first storing sub-module automatically building a file folder on the computer locally is concretely described as following:

said first storing sub-module sets a file folder in accordance with addresses of detected music data files on the computer locally.

12. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the step of storing music data files with another music data format in the local file folder on the computer orderly is concretely described as following:

storing music data files with another music data format in the local file folder on the computer orderly according to names same as the corresponding detected music data files.

13. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the step of said second storing sub-module beginning copying music data files with another music data format in the local file folder on the computer to the peripheral mobile storage apparatus is concretely described as following:

said second storing sub-module sets up the corresponding file folder on the peripheral mobile storage apparatus and stores music data files with another music data format in the local file folder on the computer in the corresponding file folder on the peripheral mobile storage apparatus according to the same name.
