Content data reproducing apparatus with temporary data memory
First Claim
1. A content data reproducing apparatus operating as an electronic musical instrument, the content data reproducing apparatus having a temporary memory for receiving stream data from an external content provision server, the stream data including content data and reproduction condition data, the content data reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a content data acquisition section that acquires the content data in the stream data from the external content provision server, the content data including automatic musical performance data for performance by the electronic musical instrument;
a storage control section that temporarily stores the content data acquired from the stream data by the content data acquisition section in the temporary memory;
a reproduction condition acquisition section that acquires the reproduction condition data from the stream data, the reproduction condition data defining a reproduction condition for reproducing the content data;
a reproduction section that reproduces the content data acquired from the stream data by the content data acquisition section, the content data read from the temporary memory; and
a reproduction control section operative for supplying the reproduction section with the content data read from the temporary memory for the reproduction in case that the reproduction condition acquired from the stream data by the reproduction condition acquisition section is satisfied, and operative for erasing the content data from the temporary memory in case that the reproduction condition is not satisfied.

Abstract
In a content data reproducing apparatus having a temporary memory for stream reproduction, a content data acquisition section acquires content data from an external content provision server. A storage control section temporarily stores the content data acquired by the content data acquisition section in the temporary memory such that the stored content data should be erased from the temporary memory when a power supply is turned off. A reproduction condition acquisition section acquires reproduction condition data which defines a reproduction condition for reproducing the content data. A reproduction section reproduces the content data read from the temporary memory. A reproduction control section operates in case that the reproduction condition is satisfied for supplying the reproduction section with the content data read from the temporary memory for the reproduction, and operates in case that the reproduction condition is no more satisfied for erasing the content data from the temporary memory even before the power supply is turned off.

8. A method of controlling a content data reproducing apparatus operating as an electronic musical instrument, the content data reproducing apparatus having a temporary memory for receiving stream data from an external content provision server, the stream data including content data and reproduction condition data, the method comprising the steps of:
-
acquiring the content data in the stream data from the external content provision server, the content data including automatic musical performance data for performance by the electronic musical instrument; temporarily storing the content data acquired from the stream data in the temporary memory; acquiring the reproduction condition data from the stream data, the reproduction condition data defining a reproduction condition for reproducing the content data; determining whether the content data reproducing apparatus satisfies the reproduction condition each time the content data acquired from the stream data is to be reproduced; reproducing the content data acquired from the stream data, the content data read from the temporary memory in case that the reproduction condition is satisfied; and erasing the content data from the temporary memory in case that the reproduction condition is no more satisfied.

9. A machine readable medium for use in a content data reproducing apparatus operating as an electronic musical instrument, the content data reproducing apparatus having a processor and a temporary memory for receiving stream data from an external content provision server, the stream data including content data and reproduction condition data, the medium containing a program executable by the processor for causing the content data reproducing apparatus to perform a method comprising the steps of:
-
acquiring the content data in the stream data from the external content provision server, the content data including automatic musical performance data for performance by the electronic musical instrument; temporarily storing the content data acquired from the stream data in the temporary memory; acquiring the reproduction condition data from the stream data, the reproduction condition data defining a reproduction condition for reproducing the content data; determining whether the content data reproducing apparatus satisfies the reproduction condition each time the content data acquired from the stream data is to be reproduced; reproducing the content data acquired from the stream data, the content data read from the temporary memory in case that the reproduction condition is satisfied; and erasing the content data from the temporary memory in case that the reproduction condition is no more satisfied.
