Mobile telephone with music retrieval option uses central station with music database to transmit requested piece of music to mobile telephone

摘要

When the music retrieval option is activated, a musical index is retrieved and searched by title, singer name etc. or a title is input via the key-pad. Only when the desired title is confirmed by pressing a key, is a connection established to a central transmitting and receiving station or an Internet service provider, and the input title is transmitted. The central station or ISP identifies the desired piece of music in a music database and transmits it by a radio or fixed network in compressed digital form to the mobile telephone. An Independent claim is included for a method of retrieving a piece of music via a mobile telephone.
