Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention automatically broadcasts a broadcast sound source file stored in a computer or a portable communication device at a predetermined time by distributing the broadcast sound source file using an Internet line. The present invention relates to an automatic broadcasting system adapted to do so.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a construction work place or a factory,
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an automatic broadcasting system has been adopted which automatically broadcasts, at a predetermined time, start of work, radio exercise music, break start / end, regular meetings, chimes and narrations for notifying lunch break and work closing, and the like. .

[0003] In the old days, it was an expensive dedicated automatic broadcasting device using an endless tape, but a relatively inexpensive automatic broadcasting device using a cassette tape was subsequently released.
It has become widely used. In principle, this cassette tape type automatic broadcasting device has an aluminum foil attached to a magnetic tape every broadcast, and is activated once by a multi-operation timer (a timer that can be turned on and off many times a day). Each time a signal is received, the tape is played for a fixed time until the next aluminum foil is detected, and the broadcast is automatically performed.

[0004]

However, in the case of the above-mentioned cassette tape type automatic broadcasting apparatus, since the aluminum foil is used to detect that one broadcast has been reproduced, the above-mentioned automatic broadcasting apparatus is liable to become dirty due to tape contamination or the like. In some cases, the detection of the aluminum foil failed, and the set broadcast time and the positional relationship of the tape were shifted, so that the correct content could not be broadcast at a predetermined time. In addition, since the contents of the broadcast are recorded on a magnetic tape in order, the contents of the broadcast cannot be changed or the order cannot be changed.
Since the tape making fee is expensive and it is common to use existing tapes, it has not been easy to make the broadcast contents suitable for the progress of construction work, factory contents or seasons.

[0005] In recent years, an automatic broadcasting apparatus using a music CD capable of solving the above-mentioned trouble in reproduction has been provided. At present, a music CD-type automatic broadcasting apparatus is used in most work places. However, many kinds of sound source files such as narration, music, chimes, etc. had to be prepared, and problems such as the inability to change or edit the broadcast content remained unsolved .

On the other hand, in recent years, with the remarkable development of the Internet and the development of communication networks such as cable lines, distribution of broadcasting music necessary for broadcasting on the user side, such as communication karaoke. Voices have been growing.

[0007] However, it is not practical to use a high-speed dedicated line that is always connected to all user-side computers, such as a communication karaoke, and the Internet that employs packet communication for sending data in blocks. In a line, it is substantially difficult for a single server computer to broadcast a predetermined broadcast via a plurality of user computers without delay. That is,
In other words, each user computer needs to store all the sound source files necessary for broadcasting in the computer.

Accordingly, a first object of the present invention is to provide a server computer which manages the distribution of a broadcast sound source file, which can be connected to the server computer via an Internet line, and which has a predetermined automatic broadcast at a set date and time. The server computer automatically communicates with the user computer, etc., while responding flexibly to changes and editing of broadcast content, changes in date and time, etc. on the user computer side, etc. An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic broadcasting system using an Internet line for distributing a broadcasting sound source file required for broadcasting.

A second object of the present invention, in addition to the first object, is to allow the user computer or the like to freely change and edit the broadcast content, change the broadcast date and time, and edit individual broadcast items. An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic broadcasting system using an Internet line that can be easily stopped.

[0010]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a server computer for managing distribution of a broadcast sound source file, and a setting for performing a predetermined automatic broadcast at a set date and time. A plurality of user computers or portable communication devices that can be connected via an Internet line, wherein the user computer or portable communication device has a sound source file storage unit that stores a large number of sound source files such as narration, music, and chimes. And, a broadcast management control unit that creates a broadcast schedule file that manages broadcast date and time and broadcast items, and, based on the broadcast schedule file, if a clock in a computer or a portable communication device has reached a predetermined time, Sound source file automatic playback control that converts the corresponding broadcast sound source file into an audio signal and outputs it The server computer sequentially patrols each user computer or portable communication device through the Internet line, and for each user computer or portable communication device, the broadcast schedule file of the last patrol time and the current patrol time And compare
An Internet circuit, comprising: a broadcast sound source file distribution management control unit that distributes a broadcast sound source file that needs to be added due to the change if the change is confirmed, and saves the broadcast sound source file in the sound source file storage unit. Is provided.

In the first aspect of the present invention, a server computer for delivering a broadcast sound source file to each user computer or portable communication device circulates through each user computer in turn, and checks whether a broadcast schedule and broadcast contents have been changed. Then, if there is a change, the update is performed by adding and / or deleting a sound source file stored in the sound source file storage unit.
This makes it easy for the user computer or portable communication device to easily perform construction work, because the server computer automatically updates the contents of the sound source files necessary for broadcasting without having to prepare various sound source files. It is possible to change the broadcast content to suit the progress status of the factory, the contents of the factory, the season, and the like. In addition, since the server computer constantly performs the distribution management by patrol, the user computer or the portable communication device can play a predetermined broadcast at a predetermined time by the sound source file stored in the sound source file storage unit.

Next, as a second invention for solving the second problem, as a second invention, a server computer for managing distribution of a broadcast sound source file, and a plurality of users set to perform predetermined automatic broadcasting at a set date and time A computer or portable communication device can be connected via an Internet line. The user computer or portable communication device includes a sound source file storage unit for storing a large number of sound source files such as narration, music, chimes, etc. For each assigned code, a broadcast start file for setting a broadcast item and an order is created by an arbitrary combination from the sound source file list, and a broadcast content editing unit that saves the broadcast start file in a predetermined storage location is provided. A broadcast setting for setting a broadcast date and a broadcast permission / prohibition for each broadcast start file. As well as creating a file, and the broadcast parameter setting unit for storing in a predetermined storage location, for each of the broadcasting start file, set the scheduled execution time, based on the clock function of the computer or portable communication equipment,
When a predetermined time has come, a broadcast time setting / start control unit that issues a start instruction of the corresponding broadcast start file, and a start command from the broadcast time setting / start control unit are started, and the broadcast setting file is started. If the setting is to perform the broadcast, the broadcast start file is executed in accordance with the broadcast setting file condition, and a sound source file automatic reproduction control unit that sequentially converts a sound source file of the set broadcast item into an audio signal and outputs the sound signal. The server computer sequentially traverses each user computer or portable communication device through the Internet line, and for each user computer or portable communication device, the broadcast start file at the time of the previous patrol and the time of the current patrol. And if the change is confirmed, the change requires addition. It delivers broadcast sound file, automatic broadcasting system using the Internet line characterized by having a distribution management controller of the broadcast sound files stored in the music file storage portion is provided.

Normally, in order to perform automatic broadcasting by a general-purpose personal computer, a computer OS (Operating System) is required if there is a sound source file and its sound reproducing software.
If you use schedule startup software (software that issues a start command at a set time) attached to m) or easily available, it is possible to play the sound source file with the contents set in the schedule startup software at a predetermined time Becomes However, as a problem of this method, when it is desired to change or edit broadcast contents, it is necessary to repeat addition and deletion for each broadcast item, and the operation becomes very complicated. Also,
If you want to broadcast multiple sound source files in a single broadcast, you need to set the time while considering the playback time of each sound source file. Therefore, a problem such as interruption of broadcasting occurs. Furthermore, the setting of the broadcast day for each day of the week becomes very complicated, and when it is desired to stop a specific broadcast item, the broadcast item must be deleted, and the operation for returning to the original afterwards becomes complicated. There were problems such as becoming.

Therefore, in the second aspect of the invention, the concept of batch file processing in which a plurality of instruction contents are collectively and continuously processed is adopted when editing the broadcast contents, and a broadcast start file in which the broadcast items and the broadcast order are recorded is used. At the same time, a broadcast parameter file for setting at least the broadcast date of the week and the permission / prohibition of broadcasting for each of the broadcast activation files is created, and automatic broadcasting is performed under management by the broadcast parameter file.

Therefore, one broadcast content can be easily added, deleted, and reordered by operating the broadcast content editing unit. In addition, since the start time can be set as a unit for one broadcast, the time can be easily set, and a plurality of sound source files to be broadcast as one broadcast are continuously broadcast without a pause. Will be broadcastable. Further, since the weekly broadcast date and on / off for each broadcast are performed by the broadcast parameter file, the broadcast date and time and individual broadcast items can be changed without complicated addition or deletion, as in the schedule start-up software. Stopping can be performed easily.

The present invention is not limited to a user computer connected to the Internet, but a mobile phone having an Internet communication function, a simplified mobile phone (trademark: PHS),
The present invention is similarly applicable to portable communication devices such as portable information communication terminals.
