Abstract
Disclosed herein is a musical piece extraction program stored in a computer-readable storage medium, the program causing a computer to perform a process including the steps of, detecting a musical piece likeliness of each of pieces of processing-unit data that constitute input audio data, based on a result of the detection of the musical piece likeliness, identifying a musical piece candidate section within the audio data, based on the musical piece candidate section and musical piece information acquired from an external server, determining a musical piece section within the audio data, and recording the musical piece information onto a recording medium so as to be associated with the musical piece section.

A musical piece extraction program stored in a computer-readable storage medium, the program causing a computer to perform a process comprising the steps of:
- detecting a musical piece likeliness of each piece of a plurality of processing-unit data that constitute input audio data;
- based on a result of the detection of the musical piece likeliness, identifying a musical piece candidate section within the input audio data;
- based on the musical piece candidate section and a musical piece information acquired from an external server, determining a musical piece section within the input audio data;
- recording the musical piece information onto a recording medium so as to be associated with the musical piece section;
- reproducing a plurality of partial audio data read from the recording medium, the partial audio data being a part of the input audio data that corresponds to the musical piece section with which the musical piece information is associated;
- and
- requesting, of a musical-piece-providing server, purchase of a musical piece data corresponding to the musical piece information with which the musical piece section is associated, if an instruction to purchase musical piece data is issued.
A musical piece extraction apparatus, comprising:
- a musical piece likeliness detection section configured to detect a musical piece likeliness of each piece of a plurality of processing-unit data that constitute input audio data;
- a musical-piece-candidate-section-identification section configured to, based on a result of detection of the musical piece likeliness by said musical piece likeliness detection section, identify a musical piece candidate section within the input audio data;
- a musical piece information acquisition section configured to acquire musical piece information from an external server;
- a musical-piece-section-determination section configured to, based on the musical piece candidate section identified by said musical piece candidate section identification section and the musical piece information acquired by said musical piece information acquisition section, determine a musical piece section within the input audio data;
- a musical piece information recording section configured to record the musical piece information onto a recording medium so as to be associated with the musical piece section;
- a partial audio data reproduction section configured to reproduce a plurality of partial audio data read from the recording medium, the partial audio data being a part of the audio data that corresponds to the musical piece section with which the musical piece information is associated;
- and
- a request section configured to request a musical-piece-providing-server purchase of musical piece data corresponding to the musical piece information with which the musical piece section is associated, if an instruction to purchase musical piece data is issued.
A musical piece extraction method, comprising the steps of:
- detecting a musical piece likeliness of each piece of a plurality of processing-unit data that constitute input audio data;
- based on a detection result of the musical piece likeliness, identifying a musical piece candidate section within the input audio data;
- based on the musical piece candidate section and musical piece information acquired from an external server, determining a musical piece section within the input audio data;
- recording the musical piece information onto a recording medium so as to be associated with the musical piece section;
- reproducing a plurality of partial audio data read from the recording medium, the partial audio data being part of the input audio data that corresponds to the musical piece section with which the musical piece information is associated;
- and
- requesting a musical-piece-providing-server purchase of musical piece data corresponding to the musical piece information with which the musical piece section is associated, if an instruction to purchase musical piece data is issued.
