Incoming-call signaling melody data transmitting apparatus, method therefor, and system therefor

An incoming-call signaling melody data transmitting method for transmitting an incoming-call signaling melody data from a center unit to a terminal device connected to the center unit via a network, wherein:

• the center unit receives a remixing-method specification data specifying a remixing method for a piece of specified music from the terminal device via a network;
• the center unit executes a remixing process for the piece of specified music in accordance with the remixing method specified in the received remixing-method specification data;
• and
• the center unit transmits the piece of music data obtained through the remixing process to the terminal device that transmitted the remixing-method specification data.

An incoming-call signaling melody data transmitting system comprising a terminal device center unit and the center unit for transmitting incoming-call signaling melody data to the terminal device, wherein the center unit comprises:

• a remixing-method specification data reception section for receiving a remixing-method specification data specifying a remixing method for a piece of specified music from the terminal device via a network;
• a remixing section for executing a remixing process for the piece of specified music in accordance with the remixing method specified in the received remixing-method specification data and for generating a piece of remixed music data;
• and
• a piece of remixed-music-data transmission section for transmitting the piece of music data generated by the remixing section to the terminal device that transmitted the remixing-method specification data.
