System, server, method, and computer program for delivering sound data

A server for delivering sound data, which delivers sound data to each of plural user terminals as its own sound data that is registered in each of said plural user terminals via a network, comprising:

• a judging information storing means, in which the information of remaining quantity of sound data to be delivered to each of said plural user terminals, showing the quantity of said sound data that each of said plural user terminals can obtain, is stored;
• and
• a sound data storing means in which said sound data to be delivered to each of said plural user terminals are stored, wherein:
• in case that each of said plural user terminals requests said server for delivering sound data to deliver some sound data via said network,
• said server for delivering sound data delivers said sound data storing in said sound data storing means to each of said plural user terminals within the range of said information of remaining quantity of sound data to be delivered to each of said plural user terminals storing in said judging information storing means via said network, without a charge under the price condition of each of said plural user terminals.

A method for delivering sound data, in which sound data are delivered to each of plural user terminals via a network as its own sound data that is registered in each of said plural user terminals, comprising the steps of:

• receiving a request for obtaining sound data from each of said plural user terminals via said network;
• judging whether said sound data are delivered to each of said plural user terminals via said network or not, based on the information of remaining number of sound data to be delivered to each of said plural user terminals, when said request was received;
• delivering said sound data to each of said plural user terminals within the range of said information of remaining number of sound data to be delivered without a charge under the price condition of each of said plural user terminals, when it was judged to deliver said sound data;
• subtracting the delivered number of sound data from said remaining number of sound data in each of said plural user terminals;
• and
• adding said delivered number of sound data to the delivered accumulation number of sound data in each title of said sound data.

• receiving a request for obtaining sound data from each of said plural user terminals via said network;
• judging whether said sound data are delivered to each of said plural user terminals via said network or not, based on the information of remaining amount of royalties for sound data to be delivered to each of said plural user terminals, when said request was received;
• delivering said sound data to each of said plural user terminals within the range of said information of remaining amount of royalties for sound data without a charge under the price condition of each of said plural user terminals, when it was judged to deliver said sound data;
• subtracting the amount of royalties of the delivered sound data from said remaining amount of royalties in each of said plural user terminals;
• and
• adding said delivered number of sound data to the delivered accumulation number of sound data in each title of said sound data.
