Data transmission-reception system and data transmission-reception method
First Claim
1. A data communication system comprising:
- a first terminal device configured to transmit content and content provider identification data identifying the provider of the content;
a server device configured to receive and store the transmitted content and content provider identification data; and
a second terminal device configured to transmit user identification data to the server device, configured to receive and store the content from the server device based on the user identification data, and configured to reproduce the stored content upon detection of an incoming call;
wherein the server device stores first account information corresponding to the content provider identification data and second account information corresponding to the user identification data, the server device incrementing first amount information in the first account information when receiving the content from the first terminal device, the server device decrementing second amount information in the second account information when transmitting the content to the second terminal device; and
the server device decrementing a larger second amount information in response to a higher reproduction audio volume of the content on the second terminal device.

Abstract
A data communication system is disclosed which comprises: first terminal devices for transmitting contents and content provider identification data identifying the providers of the contents; a server device for receiving and storing the transmitted contents and content provider identification data; and second terminal devices which transmit user identification data to the server device, which receive and store the contents from the server device based on the user identification data, and which reproduce the stored contents upon detection of an incoming call. The server device stores first account information corresponding to the content provider identification data and second account information corresponding to the user identification data. The server device increments first amount information in the first account information when receiving the contents from the first terminal devices; the server device decrements second amount information in the second account information when transmitting the contents to the second terminal devices.

26. A data communication method comprising the steps of:
-
allowing a first terminal device to transmit to a server device a content and content provider identification data identifying the provider of said content; allowing a second terminal device to transmit user identification data to said server device; allowing said server device to receive and store said content, said content provider identification data, and said user identification data; allowing said server device which stores first account information corresponding to said content provider identification data and second account information corresponding to said user identification data;
to increment first amount information in said first account information when receiving said content from said first terminal device;
to transmit said content to said second terminal device based on said user identification data;
to decrement second amount information in said second account information upon transmission of said content to said second terminal device; and
to decrement a larger second amount information in response to a higher reproduction audio volume of the content on the second terminal device;allowing said second terminal device to receive and store the transmitted content; and allowing said second terminal device to reproduce said content upon detection of an incoming call.

27. A data communication method comprising the steps of:
-
allowing a server device to receive from a first terminal device a content and content provider identification data identifying the provider of said content, and to receive and store user identification data from a second terminal device; and allowing said server device which stores first account information corresponding to said content provider identification data and second account information corresponding to said user identification data;
to increment first amount information in said first account information when receiving said content from said first terminal device;
to transmit said content to said second terminal device based on said user identification data;
to decrement second amount information in said second account information upon transmission of said content to said second terminal device; and
to decrement a larger second amount information in response to a higher reproduction audio volume of the content on the second terminal device.
