Description

  The present invention has a plurality of playback sources such as a playback function of a recording medium such as CD, MD, DVD, etc. and a reception function of AM / FM radio broadcast, and playback signals from these playback sources can be played back simultaneously. The present invention relates to a playback device such as an in-vehicle audio device having a dual media function that outputs a playback signal from a different playback source to a speaker and headphones, respectively.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an in-vehicle audio apparatus has a plurality of reproduction sources having a reproduction function and a reception function, selects one reproduction signal from among the reproduction signals from the plurality of reproduction sources, and transmits the selected reproduction signal to a speaker. The sound is output from.

  Further, according to the reception function of such a conventional in-vehicle audio apparatus, for example, it has a function of receiving FM multiplex broadcast of the European RDS system, receives incoming FM multiplex broadcast, and from this FM multiplex broadcast Multiple information including traffic information and program identification information is extracted, and various services are provided to users of in-vehicle audio apparatuses based on the multiple information.

  According to such a conventional in-vehicle audio apparatus, for example, while a CD playback unit is selected as a source, and a playback signal from the CD playback unit selected as the source is acoustically output from a speaker, FM multiplex broadcasting is performed through a reception function. When an interrupt signal indicating the start of reception of traffic information is detected, the sound output of the speaker is interrupted, the radio is selected as the source, and the traffic information received by the source selected radio is output as an interrupt sound from the speaker ( For example, see Patent Document 1).

  Therefore, according to the in-vehicle audio device of Patent Document 1, when an interrupt signal indicating the start of reception of traffic information is detected during the sound output of the reproduction signal by the speaker, the sound output of the speaker is interrupted. Since the traffic information is interrupted and output from the speaker, the latest traffic information can be provided to the user.

  However, according to the in-vehicle audio device of Patent Document 1, when an interrupt signal indicating the start of reception of traffic information is detected during the sound output of the reproduction signal by the speaker, the sound output from the speaker is interrupted and the traffic information is For example, it is convenient for drivers who need traffic information, but for passengers who are not interested in traffic information, the playback signal during listening is interrupted, causing discomfort. There is a risk of giving.

  Therefore, in order to cope with such a situation, according to the conventional in-vehicle audio apparatus, the speaker is constituted by a plurality of speakers (front speaker, surround speaker, subwoofer speaker, and center speaker), for example, a reproduction signal such as a CD. Even if an interrupt signal indicating the start of reception of traffic information is detected during sound output from the speaker, only the sound output from a specific speaker is interrupted and the sound output from a specific speaker is interrupted. There is another speaker in which traffic information is interrupted and outputted to a specific speaker while holding the sound output of the reproduction signal being outputted (for example, see Patent Document 2).

  Therefore, according to the in-vehicle audio device of Patent Document 2, when an interrupt signal indicating the start of reception of traffic information is detected during the sound output of the reproduction signal by the speaker, the sound of the reproduction signal is detected by a speaker other than the specific speaker. Since only the sound output of a specific speaker is interrupted while maintaining the output, and the traffic information is interrupted and output only to this specific speaker, even if an interrupt signal is generated during the sound output of the playback signal, Traffic information can be provided only to a specific user without causing discomfort associated with interruption of a reproduction signal being received for a user who is not interested in the traffic information.

However, in recent years, a vehicle-mounted audio device having a dual media function that outputs sounds from reproduction sources different from each other by headphones and speakers, which are completely different in function from the vehicle-mounted audio devices of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2. Audio devices are becoming widespread.

  The multiplex decoder unit 18 is for the radio tuner unit 13 to decode multiplex information in FM multiplex broadcasting, such as program identification information and traffic information.

  When the interrupt detection unit 19 detects an interrupt signal from the multiplex decoder unit 18 or the navigation device 7, the interrupt detection unit 19 notifies the microcomputer 21 of the interrupt signal. This interrupt signal corresponds to a signal indicating the start of traffic information reception from the multiplex decoder unit 18, and corresponds to a signal indicating the voice output timing of the route guidance information by voice in the case of the navigation device 7. It is.

  The main unit 2 has a dual media function that can be switched to a single mode or a dual mode as a system setting mode, and can be operated by operating the SP / HP key provided in the front side operation unit 3 and the rear side operation unit 4. It can be switched to single mode or dual mode.

  The single mode is a setting mode in which a reproduction signal from one reproduction source 2A among a plurality of reproduction sources 2A is output as sound only from the speaker 5.

  The dual mode is a setting mode in which a reproduction signal from one reproduction source 2A among a plurality of reproduction sources 2A is acoustically output from the speaker 5 while a reproduction signal from another different reproduction source 2A is output acoustically from the headphones 6. It is.

The playback mode includes a CD mode for selecting the operation of the CD playback unit 11, a DVD mode for selecting the operation of the DVD playback unit 12, an AM mode for selecting the operation of the radio tuner unit 13 for receiving AM broadcast, and FM broadcasting. There are FM mode for selecting the operation of the radio tuner unit 13 for receiving and navigation mode for selecting the operation of the navigation device 7.

  For example, the microcomputer 21 outputs the reproduction signal from the CD reproduction unit 11 to the speaker 5 and outputs the reproduction signal from the DVD reproduction unit 12 to the headphones 6 during the dual mode. When an interrupt signal indicating the start of reception is detected, the sound output from the DVD reproduction unit 12 to the headphones 6 is held through the headphone output switching unit 15, and the sound output from the CD reproduction unit 11 to the rear speaker 5 </ b> B through the speaker output switching unit 14. The traffic information from the multiplex decoder unit 18 of the radio tuner unit 13 is acoustically output to the front speaker 5A through the speaker output switching unit 14 while being held.

  Note that the speaker output switching unit 14 causes the front speaker 5A to acoustically output a reproduction signal related to the interrupt signal, for example, traffic information, without switching the reproduction signal being output by the rear speaker 5B when an interrupt signal is generated. I have to. Further, in normal times other than when an interrupt signal is generated, the front speaker 5A and the rear speaker 5B output sound signals from the same reproduction source 2A.

  The playback device described in the claims is the in-vehicle audio device 1, the plurality of playback sources are the CD playback unit 11, the DVD playback unit 12, the radio tuner unit 13 and the navigation device 7, and the playback signal selection means is the speaker output switching unit 14. The headphone output switching unit 15, the speaker unit corresponds to the speaker 5, the headphone unit corresponds to the headphone 6, the control unit corresponds to the microcomputer 21, and the interrupt detection unit corresponds to the interrupt detection unit 19.

  Next, the operation of the in-vehicle audio apparatus 1 showing this embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the microcomputer 21 related to the interrupt sound output processing according to the present embodiment.

  The interrupt sound output processing shown in FIG. 3 is, for example, when an interrupt signal indicating the start of traffic information reception by the radio tuner unit 13 or the generation of voice route guidance information by the navigation device 7 is detected, the rear speaker 5B or the headphones 6 In this process, the playback signal related to the interrupt signal, such as traffic information and route guidance information, is output to the front speaker 5A as an interrupt sound without switching the playback signal during sound output.

  The microcomputer 21 shown in FIG. 3 determines whether an interrupt signal indicating the start of traffic information reception is detected through the interrupt detection unit 19 (step S11).

  When detecting the interrupt signal, the microcomputer 21 determines whether or not the current system setting mode is the dual mode (step S12). For convenience of explanation, the dual mode here is, for example, the speaker output is set to the CD mode, the headphone output is set to the DVD mode, the playback signal of the CD playback unit 11 is acoustically output from the speaker 5, and the DVD playback unit is output from the headphone 6. It is assumed that 12 reproduction signals are output as sound.

  If it is determined that the dual mode is in effect, the microcomputer 21 temporarily stores the current playback mode related to the playback signal being selected by the speaker output switching unit 14, for example, the CD mode, in the memory unit 20 (step S13).

  The microcomputer 21 selects and holds the sound output of the headphones 6 as a playback signal in the DVD mode at the headphone output switching unit 15 and selectively holds the sound output of the rear speaker 5B as a playback signal in the CD mode at the speaker output switching unit 14. The speaker output switching unit 14 sets the sound output of the front speaker 5A to the interrupt mode, that is, the traffic information (radio tuner unit 13) side (step S14).

  The microcomputer 21 performs a predetermined acoustic process through the speaker output amplifier 16 on the reproduction signal related to the interrupt signal, that is, the traffic information, which is output to the front speaker 5A by the speaker output switching unit 14, and then performs the predetermined acoustic processing. The processed traffic information is output as an interrupt sound to the front speaker 5A (step S15). At this time, the front speaker 5A acoustically outputs traffic information, the rear speaker 5B acoustically outputs a reproduction signal from the CD reproduction unit 11, and the headphones 6 reproduces a reproduction signal from the DVD reproduction unit 12. The predetermined acoustic processing in step S15 corresponds to signal processing for obtaining an optimal volume and sound quality that is easy for the listener to hear.

  The microcomputer 21 determines whether or not the reproduction signal related to the interrupt signal, that is, the interrupt sound output of the traffic information is completed (step S16).

  When the interrupt sound output of the reproduction signal related to the interrupt signal is completed, the microcomputer 21 returns the CD mode reproduction signal to the front speaker 5A in order to return to the reproduction mode of the front speaker 5A temporarily stored in the memory unit 20. In order to output, the speaker output switching unit 14 is controlled (step S17), and the sound output of the front speaker 5A is returned to the reproduction mode immediately before the interruption, thereby terminating the processing operation relating to the interruption sound output processing.

  If the microcomputer 21 determines that it is not in the dual mode in step S12, the microcomputer 21 determines that it is in the single mode, and the playback mode selected by the speaker output switching unit 14, that is, the CD mode is stored in the memory unit 20. Temporarily store (step S18).

  The microcomputer 21 temporarily stores the selected playback mode in the memory unit 21, and then selects and holds the playback mode (CD mode) in which sound is output from the rear speaker 5B among the speaker outputs, with the front speaker 5A. The speaker output switching unit 14 is controlled to output a playback signal related to the interrupt signal, that is, traffic information (step S19), and the process proceeds to step S15 to cause the front speaker 5A to output the traffic information as an interrupt sound.

  If the microcomputer 21 does not detect an interrupt signal in step S11, the reproduction signal being selected by the speaker output switching unit 14 or the headphone output switching unit 15 is selected as usual regardless of the dual mode or the single mode. Normal reproduction for outputting sound to the speaker 5 or the headphone 6 is executed (step S20), and the processing operation related to the interrupt sound output processing is ended.

  According to the present embodiment, for example, when an interrupt signal indicating the start of reception of traffic information is detected during the dual mode, the sound output to the headphones 6 related to the reproduction signal currently selected by the headphone output switching unit 15 and While the sound output to the rear speaker 5B related to the currently selected reproduction signal is held in the speaker output switching unit 14, the reproduction signal related to the interrupt signal, for example, traffic information, for example, traffic information is only transmitted to the front speaker 5A. Since the sound is output, complicated control can be performed by outputting a reproduction signal such as traffic information related to the interrupt signal only to the front speaker 5A without affecting the sound output to the headphones 6 and the rear speaker 5B. Without the need for a dual media function that outputs different playback signals through the headphones 6 and the speakers 5. Was, it is possible to realize an interrupt acoustic output of the reproduced signal of the traffic information or the like relating to the interrupt signal.

  According to the present embodiment, when the sound output of different playback signals is held in the headphone 6 and the rear speaker 5B, the playback signal related to the interrupt signal, for example, traffic information is output only to the front speaker 5A. Since the reproduction signal related to the signal is subjected to predetermined acoustic processing, and the reproduction signal subjected to the acoustic processing is acoustically output to the front speaker 5A, the reproduction signal such as traffic information is transmitted to the user at a predetermined volume and sound quality. Can be provided.

  In the above embodiment, when an interrupt signal such as traffic information is detected, only the front speaker 5A is caused to output an interrupt sound for traffic information related to the interrupt signal. It goes without saying that the same effect can be obtained even if the traffic information or the like is interrupted and outputted only to the front speaker 5A.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the traffic information related to FM multiplex broadcasting of the radio tuner unit 13 is described as an example of the playback signal related to the interrupt signal. However, the information is not limited to traffic information, for example, information on interrupt sound output. It goes without saying that the same effect can be obtained even with information such as emergency disaster information provided with elements and route guidance information by voice of the navigation device 7, for example.

  In the above embodiment, the dual media function for outputting different reproduction signals by the headphones 6 and the speaker 5 is described as an example. For example, the rear seat display unit and the front seat display unit are provided. The same applies to a system in which different playback signals (video signals) are output on the rear seat display unit and the front seat display unit. For example, a DVD image is displayed on the rear seat display unit. When an interrupt signal from the navigation device 7 is detected while the video image is being output and output to the front seat display unit, the front seat display unit is not affected without affecting the DVD image output of the rear seat display unit. Needless to say, the display unit may cause the route guidance video related to the interrupt signal from the navigation device 7 to be output as an interrupt video, and the same effect can be obtained.

  The present invention has a dual media function that outputs different playback signals from a plurality of playback sources to headphones and speakers, for example, and has a function of interrupting and outputting traffic information in response to an interrupt signal indicating the start of reception of traffic information. Even if an interrupt signal such as traffic information is generated, the traffic information can be interrupted and output only to the speaker without affecting the sound output of the headphones.
