Abstract

A graphic data creating and editing system which can create and edit a graphic data to be displayed when playing music, corresponding to an audio data, and which can efficiently store the audio data and the graphic data in a semiconductor memory. The graphic data creating and editing system separates a plurality of audio data corresponding to the music to be played on the digital audio player (wrist audio player 3) and a plurality of graphic data (illustration and animation) to be displayed on the digital audio player, according to the audio data into each individual storage area, respectively, creates a data format wherein the audio data and the graphic data are corresponded to each other by the address, and stores the data format in the MMC 35.

Claims

1. A wrist audio player system in which a host computer is electrically connected to an arm-attachable wrist audio player for playing music through a connecting attachment, wherein.

the host computer comprises:

host storage means for storing animation data expressed by sequentially displaying a plurality of illustrations and audio data for outputting sound; and

transmitting means for transmitting the animation data and the audio data stored in the host storage means to the wrist audio player,

the arm-attachable wrist audio player comprising;

an arm-attachable player body comprising a wrist band portion for attachment to an arm;

an earphone connecting portion placed at one side of the player body;

an outer equipment connecting portion placed at another side of the player body;

animation data storage means for storing the animation data transmitted from the host computer through the outer equipment connecting portion;

audio data storage means for storing the audio data transmitted from the host computer through the outer equipment connecting pardon; and

display means for sequentially displaying animation corresponding to the animation data stored in the animation data storage means at a time of playing the audio data stored in the audio storage means.

2. An arm-attachable wrist audio player device for playing music to which a host computer is electrically connected through a connecting attachment, comprising:

an arm-attachable player body comprising a wrist band portion for attachment to an arm;

an earphone connecting portion placed at one side of the player body;

an outer equipment connecting portion placed at another side of the player body;

animation data storage means for storing animation data expressed by sequentially displaying a plurality of illustrations transmitted from the host computer through the outer equipment connecting portion;

audio data storage means for storing audio data transmitted from the host computer through the outer equipment connecting portion; and

display means for sequentially displaying animation corresponding to the animation data stored in the animation data storage means at a time of playing the audio data stored in the audio data storage means.
