Abstract

The invention discloses a wireless music playing method, a wireless music playing system and a wireless music player, wherein the method includes the following steps. A digital media controller edits a play schedule and delivers the play schedule to a wireless music player, and the play schedule includes a playing time and corresponding location information of a music source. The wireless music player links to the corresponding location information of the music source to play music media data according to the playing time and the corresponding location information of the music source in the play schedule. The technical solution of the invention can simplify the operation of music playing and realize the automatically classified playing according to time.

Claims

editing a play schedule and delivering the play schedule to a wireless music player by a digital media controller, and the play schedule comprising a playing time, a corresponding location information of music sources, an order of the music sources and a default playing parameter, wherein the default playing parameter comprises a sound volume setting and a sound effect setting; and

linking to the corresponding location information of the music sources at the playing time to play music media data by the wireless music player according to the corresponding location information of the music sources and the order of the music sources in the play schedule.

2. The wireless music playing method of claim 1, wherein

the step of playing the music media data by the wireless music player comprises:

playing the music media data according to the default playing parameter.

3. The wireless music playing method of claim 1, wherein

the step of playing the music media data by the wireless music player comprises:

adjusting loudness of sound according to the sound volume setting, setting playing effect of sound according to the sound effect setting, and playing the music media data by the wireless music player.

5. The wireless music playing method of claim 1, further comprising:

accessing a time server by the wireless music player, so as to obtain a present time from the time server; and

using the present time for calibrating a present system time by the wireless music player.

4. The wireless music playing method of claim , wherein the playing time is a periodic setting time;

periodically determining whether a present time meets the periodic setting time, and then confirming that the playing time is reached when the present time meets the periodic setting time by the wireless music player.

6. A wireless music playing system, comprising:

a digital media controller, a wireless music player and a digital media server,

wherein the digital media controller edits a play schedule and delivers the play schedule to the wireless music player, wherein the play schedule comprises a playing time, a corresponding location information of music sources, an order of the music sources and a default playing parameter, wherein the default playing parameter comprises a sound volume setting and a sound effect setting;

the wireless music player receives the play schedule from the digital media controller, and sends a request at the playing time to the digital media server according to the corresponding location information of the music sources and the order of the music sources, and receives and plays music media data fed back from the digital media server; and

the digital media server provides the music media data to the wireless music player according to the request.

7. The wireless music playing system of claim 6, wherein the wireless music player comprises a playing time confirming unit, a data obtaining unit and a playing unit,
