`
`RELATED APPLICATION
`
`This application is a continuation of U.S. patent applica-
`tion Ser. No. 09/641,069, filed Aug. 17, 2000 now U.S. Pat.
`No. 6,587,403, which is a continuation of U.S. patent
`application Ser. No. 09/111,989, filed Jul. 8, 1998 now U.S.
`Pat. No. 6,172,948, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provi-
`sional Application No. 60/051,999, filed Jul. 9, 1997.
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`The present invention relates generally to audio recording
`devices, and relates specifically to a novel music jukebox.
`Present audio tape recorder/players provide for both audio
`recording onto a cassette tape and play back of the audio
`recording, and are generally relatively easy to use. The
`typical audio tape recorder/player has several push-buttons
`which allow a user to have the device perform a number of
`functions in connection with the cassette tape. Normally, a
`push-button is provided for each of the following functions:
`pause, stop, rewind, fast forward, play and record.
`In addition to being easy to use, some audio tape recorder/
`players provide additional advantages by way of advanced
`features. For example, some provide that one can determine
`a recording sound level before or during a recording, and set
`or adjust a recording gain level in response thereto. Specifi-
`cally, some provide a digital display, such as an LED display,
`that indicates the sound level which will be recorded (or
`which is being recorded) onto the cassette tape, and provide
`a rotary knob, or other type of adjustor, which one can adjust
`in order to set (or adjust) the recording gain level. However,
`even these more advanced audio tape recorder/players do
`not provide that one can listen to how the recording actually
`sounds until after the sounds are recorded onto the tape. In
`other words, the typical audio tape recorder/player does not
`allow one to truly “audition” a recording before it is actually
`recorded onto a cassette tape. As a result, several “takes”
`may be required before an acceptable recording is obtained.
`A recording may be unacceptable because of a number of
`reasons such as, for example, because the recording gain
`level was set too low or too high.
`Additionally, present audio tape recorder/players do not
`provide an easy way to vary the order in which a set of
`sounds, such as a set of songs, will appear on the cassette
`tape. Because an audio tape recorder/player records essen-
`tially what it “hears” or receives,
`in real time,
`it
`is not
`possible to easily customize the order in which sound tracks,
`such as songs, will appear on the recorded tape.
`Another disadvantage of audio tape recorder/players is
`that they produce analog recordings, and analog recordings
`have a lower sound quality than do digital recordings.
`Furthermore, cassette tapes are not as durable as compact
`discs. For example, a dirty tape head may elfectively destroy
`a cassette tape upon play back. For these reasons, cassette
`tapes are no longer the standard in the music industry, and
`compact discs are now en vogue. Therefore, while the
`demand for audio tape recorder/players has decreased, the
`demand for compact disc players has been increasing.
`Like present audio tape recorder/players, present compact
`disc players are also relatively easy to use and provide
`push-button controls, with a push-button being provided for
`each of the following functions in connection with the
`compact disc: pause, stop, track reverse, track forward and
`play. The track reverse and track forward functions of the
`present-day compact disc player are much like the rewind

`
`and forward functions, respectively, of the present-day audio
`tape recorder/player. However, the nature of compact discs
`provides that the track reverse and track forward functions
`of a compact disc player are more useful than the respective
`rewind and fast forward functions of an audio tape recorder/
`player. Specifically, holding the track reverse or track for-
`ward push-button down provides that
`the compact disc
`player skips back or forward, respectively, within a given
`sound track. In contrast, tapping the track reverse or track
`forward push-button on the compact disc player provides
`that the compact disc player very quickly skips back or
`ahead, respectively, to the previous or next sound track on
`the compact disc. Because of the general nature of cassette
`tapes, this latter feature carmot effectively be provided on
`audio tape recorder/players.
`As mentioned, compact disc players provide certain
`advantages over audio tape players. Compact disc players
`play back digital sound recordings from a compact disc, and
`digital sound recordings have a higher sound quality than do
`analog signal recordings. Also, compact disc players provide
`for fast movement to the previous or next sound track.
`However, while audio tape recorder/players provide that one
`can record onto a cassette tape, most presently generally
`available compact disc players do not provide that one can
`record onto a compact disc.
`Those compact disc recorders which are generally avail-
`able record onto a compact disc in real time and do not
`provide any true editing functions. For example, some
`compact disc recorders now available provide that a source
`device, such as a compact disc player or a cassette tape
`player,
`is first connected to inputs of the compact disc
`recorder. Then, as the source device is operated to begin
`playing music from the source medium, the compact disc
`recorder is operated to begin recording. Therefore, as the
`source device is playing music, the compact disc recorder
`records the music in real time, as the compact disc recorder
`receives the music through its inputs.
`There are many disadvantages to having to record in real
`time. One disadvantage is that editing is severely limited. If
`a mistake is made, the mistake is generally non-correctable.
`For example, if one begins recording the wrong song onto
`the compact disc or begins recording a song at the wrong
`volume, the mistake cannot readily be corrected. One would
`have to start over, and begin recording onto a new compact
`disc. Another disadvantage to having to record in real time
`is that if one wishes to make several identical compact discs,
`one would need to re-play all of the source music into the
`compact disc recorder. Of course, this elfectively provides
`more opportunities for mistakes to be made while recording.
`Furthermore, if one wishes to make a second compact disc
`much like a compact disc which was made previously, with
`the exception of one song being replaced by another, one
`would need to re-play all of the previous source music into
`the compact disc recorder in addition to having to play the
`new song into the recorder. Likewise, if one wishes to make
`a second compact disc much like a compact disc which was
`made previously, with the exception of the songs on the
`second compact disc appearing in a different sequence, one
`would need to re-play all of the previous source music into
`the compact disc recorder, albeit in a different order.
`Some other compact disc recorders now available include
`two compact disc trays—one tray for playing music from a
`compact disc, and one tray for recording the music onto
`another compact disc. In other words, music is recorded
`from tray-to-tray. This type of compact disc recorder pre-
`sents many of the same disadvantages as discussed above
`because the recording is still done in real time.

`Most of the compact disc recorders presently available
`can play music from a standard compact disc,
`thereby
`operating like a standard compact disc player. However, the
`devices generally carmot play back music which was
`received previously by the device unless the compact disc
`containing that music is first inserted into the tray of the
`device.
`
`Another disadvantage to the compact disc recorders
`which are presently generally available is that the devices
`carmot be used to record onto standard CD-R discs which
`
`10
`
`can be played back using any standard compact disc player.
`Standard CD-R recordable compact discs (as opposed to
`discs marked “for consumer use”) are presently widely
`available, are inexpensive, and can be played back using any
`standard compact disc player.
`The present invention is directed at solving the disadvan-
`tages discussed hereinabove.
`
`OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE
`DISCLOSURE
`
`A general object of the present invention is to provide a
`music jukebox which provides advantages not generally
`provided by other presently available compact disc record-
`ers.
`
`Another object of the present invention is to provide a
`music jukebox which can be used to store music tracks as
`easily as using a modern-day audio tape recorder/player.
`A further object of the present invention is to provide a
`music jukebox that provides that one can listen to a stored
`sound track before the sound track is recorded onto a
`
`compact disc (i.e. truly “audition” a recording).
`Still another object of the present invention is to provide
`a music jukebox that provides that one can easily customize
`the order in which sound tracks will appear on a compact
`disc.
`
`Yet still another object of the present invention is to
`provide a music jukebox that can play back music which was
`received previously by the device without a compact disc
`containing that music being first inserted into the device.
`Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide
`a music jukebox that can be used to record onto computer-
`compatible compact discs which are presently widely avail-
`able, are inexpensive, and can be played back using a
`standard compact disc player.
`Briefly, and in accordance with at least one of the fore-
`going objects,
`the present
`invention envisions a music
`jukebox which is configured for storing a music library
`therein. The music jukebox includes a housing, audio input
`structure on the housing for receiving audio signals, audio
`output structure on the housing for outputting audio signals,
`and a data storage structure in the housing for storing audio
`signals. The music jukebox is configured such that a music
`library of sound tracks is storable in the data storage
`structure. The music jukebox includes means for selecting a
`sound track from the music library stored in the data storage
`structure to play through the audio output structure, and the
`housing includes a display thereon which identifies sound
`tracks in the music library.

`
`DESCRIPTION
`
`invention may be susceptible to
`While the present
`embodiment in different forms, there is shown in the draw-
`ings, and herein will be described in detail, an embodiment
`with the understanding that the present description is to be
`considered an exemplification of the principles of the inven-
`tion and is not intended to limit the invention to that as
`illustrated and described herein.
`
`Shown in FIG. 1 is an optical storage device in the form
`of a music jukebox or compact disc recorder 30 in accor-
`dance with an embodiment of the present invention. The
`music jukebox 30 is a easy-to-use stand-alone audio record-
`ing device that can receive signals from an analog audio
`source and produce digital recordings onto a compact disc.
`As will be described, the music jukebox 30 has memory so
`sound tracks can be stored therein and selectively played
`back. In this regard, the compact disc recorder 30 can be
`effectively employed as a modern-day juke box. Hence, in
`the following description, the device 30 is interchangeably
`referred to as a compact disc recorder and music jukebox.
`Additionally,
`the fact that the compact disc recorder 30
`includes memory provides that saved sound tracks can be
`reviewed, or “auditioned”, before being burned onto a
`compact disc. Preferably, the compact disc recorder 30 has
`many enhanced functions allowing for the advanced editing
`of stored sound tracks, and can be used to play back
`standard, commercially available compact discs. These
`advantages as well as many others will be apparent after
`reading the following description of the compact disc
`recorder 30.
`
`Internal components of the compact disc recorder 30 are
`protected by a housing 32, which may be a fabricated metal
`case much like those of standard stereo decks such as
`
`cassette decks and compact disc players. As shown in FIG.
`1, the housing 32 has a front panel 34, a back panel 36, sides
`38, a top 40 and a bottom 42. The housing 32 may incor-
`porate, or have attached thereto, standard computer bay/
`mounting hardware, such as rails for drive mounting, one or
`more slots for circuit board mounting, and other mounting
`attachment structure.
`
`As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the front panel 34 of the
`compact disc recorder 30 is an injection-molded front bezel
`44 which provides, essentially, a user interface which dis-
`
`HTC Exhibit 1002
`
`HTC Exhibit 1002
`
`

`
`US 7,289,393 B2
`
`5
`plays information to a user and provides means for allowing
`the user to program and control the compact disc recorder
`30. The front bezel 44 has a digital graphic display device 46
`thereon. The digital graphic display unit 46 is, for example,
`a 240><64 dot graphics LCD with LED back-light, or may be
`a type of plasma display and/or a group of lamp devices.
`Regardless, the digital graphic display device 46 provides
`that the compact disc recorder 30 can communicate certain
`information to the user in connection with the operation,
`control and programming of the compact disc recorder 30.
`In addition, the digital graphic display unit 46 may also be
`a graphic user interface, such as a touch screen whereby a
`user can operate, control and program the compact disc
`recorder 30 by physically touching the digital graphic dis-
`play unit 46 with a finger, light pen, or some other object.
`The front bezel 44 also provides a means to give editing
`commands to embedded software (to be discussed later
`herein) for ordering, auditioning and playing back sound
`tracks stored in the compact disc recorder 30, prior to
`recording the tracks onto a compact disc. Specifically, the
`front bezel 44 has a set 48 of six transport control push-
`buttons 41, 43, 45, 47, 49, 50 thereon for providing that the
`user can control the functioning of the compact disc recorder
`30. The set 48 of push-buttons are identical to those typically
`found on present-day compact disc players, but also includes
`a push-button to direct the compact disc recorder 30 to enter
`a record mode as will be described more fully later. In other
`words, there is a separate push-button provided for each of
`the following functions of the compact disc recorder 30: stop
`(button 41), pause (button 43), reverse track (button 45),
`play (button 47), forward track (button 49) and record
`(button 50). The front bezel 44 also includes a second set 52
`of six push-buttons 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 63 each of which
`relates to certain functions of the compact disc recorder 30
`relating to programming the compact disc recorder 30 and
`editing sound tracks previously stored therein. Preferably,
`the second set 52 of push-buttons allows a user to access and
`interact with menus displayed on the digital graphic display
`device 46. This will be described in more detail later herein.
`
`Preferably, both sets 48 and 52 of push-buttons on the front
`bezel are illuminated, such as by LEDs.
`The front bezel 44 also includes optical storage medium
`receiving structure so that an optical storage medium may be
