Abstract
In an effort to transmit/receive MDI data in a session among a plurality of terminals, when any of the terminals designates a communication partner and transmits a request to join a session to a management server 100, the management server allows the terminal to join a session joined by the designated communication partner, allocates a channel different from those allocated to the other terminals in the session, and notifies the allocated channel together with information on the terminals joining the session. Further, the terminal sets communication destinations based on the notification.
Claims3
A communication management system for performance data comprising:
- a plurality of electronic musical apparatuses transmitting/receiving performance data to/from one another;
- and
- a communication management device managing the transmission/reception of the performance data among the plural electronic musical apparatuses,
- wherein said communication management device comprises:
- a memory that stores, as information on a session for the transmission/reception of the performance data, identification data of the electronic musical apparatuses joining the session;
- and
- a session information notifying device that, when the electronic musical apparatus designates a communication partner to request to join a session, allows the requesting electronic musical apparatus to join a session joined by the designated communication partner, allocates a channel different from channels allocated to the other electronic musical apparatuses in the session, and notifies the requesting electronic musical apparatus of the allocated channel together with the identification data of the electronic musical apparatuses joining the session and information on the channels used by the electronic musical apparatuses joining the session, and wherein each of said electronic musical apparatuses comprises:
- a requesting device that designates a communication partner and transmits a request to join the session to said communication management device;
- a communicating device that sets a channel used by the own electronic musical apparatus, an address information of an apparatus which is to be the communication partner, and an information on a channel used by the communication partner, based on data which are notified by said communication management device in response to the request, and transmits/receives a performance data based on the setting.
A communication management device for performance data that manages transmission/reception of performance data among a plurality of electronic musical apparatuses, the device comprising:
- a memory that stores, as information on a session for the transmission/reception of the performance data, identification data of the electronic musical apparatuses joining the session;
- and
- a session information notifying device that, when the electronic musical apparatus designates a communication partner to request to join a session, allows the requesting electronic musical apparatus to join a session joined by the designated communication partner, allocates a channel different from channels allocated to the other electronic musical apparatuses in the session, and notifies the requesting electronic musical apparatus of the allocated channel together with the identification data of the electronic musical apparatuses joining the session and information on the channels used by the electronic musical apparatuses joining the session.
