Electronic musical instrument sound data authentication and licensing system
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240038206A1) describes a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions that, when executed, control a computer to store authentication information related to sound data, including license types and sound IDs. The computer is further directed to determine the license type associated with selected sound data, check if the sound ID is linked to a subscription type, and enable loading the sound data into memory or generating audible sound based on the subscription type. The system also includes provisions to access subscription information for different subscription types and inhibit the use of sound data if the license type and sound ID do not match the subscription type.
Additionally, the patent application outlines a method for controlling sound generation in an electronic musical instrument by storing authentication information, acquiring sound IDs and license types, determining subscription type licenses, and enabling loading or generating sound based on the subscription type. The method involves accessing subscription information for various subscription types and ensuring that the stored authentication information is updated before proceeding with sound generation processes. Overall, the patent application focuses on efficiently managing sound data and licenses in electronic musical instruments to ensure compliance with subscription types and enhance the user experience in generating and using sound data.
