Patent number: 12387701Abstract: An electronic device and a data usage method are provided. An electronic musical instrument confirms whether respective sound data stored in a timbre memory or a wave memory can be used or cannot be used based on management information acquired from a server. A sound data determined to be usable in the management information is validated so that it can be used for loading or writing. On the other hand, a sound data determined to be unusable in the management information is invalidated so that it cannot be used.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2022Date of Patent: August 12, 2025Assignee: Roland CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Okamura, Akihiro Nagata, Tokio Takahashi, Yusuke Miyama, Ichiro Yazawa

Patent number: 11966656Abstract: The disclosure provides a server, an electronic device, a server communication method, a device communication method, and a communication system. In loading of a communication system, in the case where an identifier of a timbre data and an instruction for loading the timbre data are transmitted from a mobile terminal to a server, the server acquires the timbre data corresponding to the identifier of the timbre data from a timbre DB, and transmits the timbre data together with the received instruction to a communication device (electronic musical instrument). In the electronic musical instrument, the received timbre data is stored to a work memory in response to the instruction received from the server.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Roland CorporationInventors: Yusuke Miyama, Tokio Takahashi, Tsubasa Murohashi, Daichi Ogawa

Publication number: 20230139827Abstract: The disclosure provides a terminal, a terminal communication method, and a communication system. The terminal is connected to a server and connected to an electronic device via the server and includes a correspondence data information storage means, a data association information receiving means, a comparison means, and a display means. The correspondence data information storage means stores correspondence data information of the electronic device. The data association information receiving means receives, from the server, data association information associated with data used for reproduction of sounds or images in the electronic device. The comparison means compares the data association information with the correspondence data information. The display means displays the data association information included in the correspondence data information based on a comparison result obtained by the comparison means.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Applicant: Roland CorporationInventors: Yusuke Miyama, Tokio Takahashi, Tsubasa Murohashi, Daichi Ogawa
