ONBOARD MUSIC REPRODUCTION APPARATUS AND MUSIC INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A music reproduction apparatus comprising:
- a vehicle status information input section for inputting vehicle status information representing a vehicle status;
a reproduction section for assigning a plurality of phrases whose types differ from each other to a plurality of tracks, thus reproducing the phrases in terms of at least one reproduction parameter being controlled with respect to each of the tracks; and
a control section for controlling the reproduction parameter in response to the vehicle status information with respect to each of the tracks.

Abstract
In a music reproduction apparatus designed for a listener to enjoy music while experiencing variations in vehicle status, plural types of phrases, which differ from each other, are assigned to plural tracks and are reproduced in accordance with reproduction parameters, which are controlled in response to vehicle status information. It is possible to control the setup values of reproduction parameters suiting vehicle statuses in response to travel environments. In addition, it is possible to synchronize the reproduction start timing of a music reproduction unit corresponding to one measure being reproduced by a first track with the reproduction start timing of a music reproduction unit corresponding to plural measures being reproduced by a second track. In a music information distribution system, a server stores music files including reproduction parameters suiting vehicle statuses and travel environments, so that the music reproduction apparatus reads them so as to reproduce corresponding musical tunes.

9. A music reproduction apparatus comprising:
-
a reproduction section having a plurality of tracks, wherein a first track repeatedly reproduces a first phrase composed of one measure, and a second track repeatedly reproduces a second phrase composed of a plurality of measures; an external condition information input section for inputting external condition information representing an external condition; and a reproduction time length control section for controlling a reproduction time length of the first phrase reproduced by the first track in response to the external condition information, wherein the reproduction time length control section controls the reproduction section to start reproducing the measures included in the second phrase reproduced by the second track at a reproduction end timing of the first phrase.

12. A music information distribution system comprising a server for storing a plurality of music files composed of music data and reproduction parameters in advance and a music reproduction apparatus capable of communicating with the server, wherein the music reproduction apparatus transmits vehicle status information and travel environment information of a vehicle to the server, the server selects and reads a music file whose reproduction parameters are corrected in response to the vehicle status information and the travel environment information so as to transmit it to the music reproduction apparatus, so that the music reproduction apparatus receives the music file whose reproduction parameters are corrected, thus reproducing corresponding music data.
