  Subsequently, the user operates the “order list” button on the main screen (FIG. 10) by touching, etc., and displays the order list screen (FIG. 14) on the user terminal device 12. Is selected by touching or the like, and then the “order” button is operated by touching or the like. In response to the operation, the user terminal device 12 generates order data including the song ID of the song selected by the user, and transmits the order data to the store terminal device 13 via the wireless LAN 9 (S204).

The storage means 1205 of the user terminal device 12 stores an order history DB that is a DB for recording the order data transmitted to the store terminal device 13 as a log. FIG. 16 is a diagram schematically illustrating a data configuration example of the order history DB. The order history DB is a collection of data records related to each of order data transmitted from the user terminal device 12 to the store terminal device 13 in the past, and each data record includes the following data fields.
[Music ID]: A music ID for identifying a music is stored.
[Music name]: Text data indicating the name (title) of the music is stored.
[Artist name]: Text data indicating the name of the artist who is the original performer of the music is stored.
[Store name]: Stores text data indicating the name of the karaoke store where the karaoke performance was performed.
[Date]: Stores data indicating the date and time when the karaoke performance was performed.

  When the user terminal device 12 transmits the order data in S204, the user terminal device 12 adds a new data record to the order history DB, the music ID included in the transmitted order data, and the music name of the music identified by the music ID, The artist name is added to the corresponding data field of the data record (S205).

The storage unit 1305 of the store terminal device 13 stores an order management DB that is a DB for managing order data received from the user terminal device 12. FIG. 17 is a diagram schematically illustrating a data configuration example of the order management DB. The order management DB is a collection of data records related to each of the music IDs included in the order data received from the user terminal device 12, and each data record includes the following data fields.
[Music ID]: A music ID for identifying a music is stored.
[Karaoke data]: Text data indicating the file name of karaoke data is stored.

  Upon receiving the order data in S204, the store terminal device 13 adds a new data record to the order management DB, and stores the music ID included in the received order data in [Music ID]. Subsequently, the store terminal device 13 generates a transmission request for karaoke data including the song ID newly added to the order management DB, and transmits the request to the karaoke data distribution server device 11 via the Internet 8 (S206). The karaoke data distribution server device 11 searches the karaoke DB (FIG. 4) for a data record using the music ID included in the karaoke data transmission request received from the store terminal device 13 as a search key. ] Is transmitted to the shop terminal device 13 (S207).

  The store terminal device 13 stores the received karaoke data in the storage unit 1305, and stores the file name of the karaoke data in [Karaoke data] of the data record added to the end of the order management DB (S208).

  Normally, a plurality of users who enjoy karaoke together operate each user terminal device 12 to place an order for karaoke performance with respect to the store terminal device 13. In addition, a user who does not use the user terminal device 12 can place an order for karaoke performance with respect to the store terminal device 13 by operating the remote controller or the touch display 135 as in the prior art. In the order management DB, data records corresponding to orders performed by each of the plurality of users are stored in order order.

  The store terminal device 13 reads the karaoke data specified by the file name stored in [karaoke data] of the order management DB in the order in which the data records are added to the order management DB, and performs the karaoke performance according to the read karaoke data. (S209). The user enjoys singing according to the karaoke performance. The user can also order a new music piece during the karaoke performance in S209. In that case, during the karaoke performance in the preceding S209, S204 to S208 regarding the order of the subsequent karaoke performance are executed in parallel.

  When the store terminal device 13 completes the karaoke performance, the music piece ID of the music for which the karaoke performance has been completed, the text data indicating the store name of the karaoke store where the store terminal device 13 is arranged, and the data indicating the date and time of completion are stored. A completion notification is generated and transmitted to the user terminal device 12 (S210). Moreover, the shop terminal device 13 deletes the data record regarding the music for which karaoke performance has been completed from the order management DB (S211). The store terminal device 13 may immediately delete the karaoke data of the music for which the karaoke performance has been completed from the storage means 1305, or store it as long as the storage capacity permits, and there is an order for the karaoke performance of the same music. In some cases, it may be reused.

  The user terminal device 12 searches the data record from the order history DB (FIG. 16) using the music ID included in the completion notification received in S210 as a search key, and indicates text data indicating the store name and date / time included in the completion notification. Data is stored in the corresponding data field of the retrieved data record (S212).

  As described above, according to the karaoke system 1, the user registers, for example, a song that he / she wants to sing at his / her home before visiting a karaoke store in the order list, and the song he / she actually wants to sing from the order list at the karaoke store. By selecting, it is possible to easily order a karaoke performance at a karaoke store. When registering a song to the order list, the user can freely consider the song using time. For example, as in the case of the conventional technology, the user can select a song by jumping from the song list in the booth of the karaoke store. And inconveniences such as singing unintentional music after all can be avoided.

  Moreover, in the karaoke system 1, the user can browse the information of the music sung in the past. When the user operates the “order history” button on the main screen (FIG. 10) by touching or the like, the user terminal device 12 displays the order history screen using the data stored in the order history DB. FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an order history screen. The order history screen displays a list of song names, artist names, karaoke store names, and singing dates and times of songs sung by the user in the past.

  Of the songs displayed in the list, those whose store name and date and time are blank indicate songs that have been transmitted to the store terminal device 13 but have not yet been sung. . In the list displayed on the order history screen, the user places an order with respect to the store terminal device 13, but for a song that is still waiting for a turn, the user selects the row of the song by touching, etc. The music order can be canceled by operating the “Cancel” button by touching or the like. In that case, a cancel request including the song ID of the song selected by the user is transmitted from the user terminal device 12 to the store terminal device 13, and data corresponding to the song ID included in the cancel request from the order management DB in the store terminal device 13. The record will be deleted.

  In the karaoke system 1, the user can use the user terminal device 12 as a remote control for operating the store terminal device 13. When the user operates the “remote control” button on the main screen by touching or the like, the user terminal device 12 displays the remote control screen. FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating a remote control screen. The remote control screen has various buttons for changing the key of the currently playing song, adjusting the karaoke performance and microphone volume, changing the parameters of effects such as echoes, and sounding sound effects such as applause and tambourine. When the buttons are displayed and the user operates these buttons by touching or the like, data corresponding to the operated buttons is transmitted from the user terminal device 12 to the store terminal device 13 via the wireless LAN 9. The store terminal device 13 executes music key change, volume adjustment, effect parameter change, sound generation of sound effects such as applause, and the like according to the received data.

  When the karaoke party is over and the user and his / her friends leave the karaoke store booth, the staff of the karaoke store operates the store terminal device 13 and data required for establishing a non-short-range wireless communication connection in the wireless LAN 9 (for example, Change the encryption key or passkey. As a result, when a user who leaves the booth operates the user terminal device 12, there is no inconvenience that data is transmitted and received between the user terminal device 12 and the store terminal device 13 by mistake.

[Modification]
The above-described embodiments can be variously modified within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. Examples of these modifications are shown below.

(1) In the karaoke system 1 described above, first, short distance wireless communication is started between the user terminal device 12 and the store terminal device 13 as the user moves the user terminal device 12 close to the store terminal device 13. Then, according to the data such as the encryption key transmitted from the store terminal device 13 to the user terminal device 12 by the short-range wireless communication, the reach distance is shorter than the short-range wireless communication between the user terminal device 12 and the store terminal device 13. A long non-short-range wireless communication connection (non-short-range wireless communication connection) is established. Thereafter, various data such as order data and completion notices are transmitted and received between the user terminal device 12 and the store terminal device 13 via this non-short-range wireless communication connection.

  Instead of establishing non-short-range wireless communication connection using short-range wireless communication as described above, a configuration may be adopted in which non-short-range wireless communication connection is established without using short-range wireless communication. For example, the store terminal device 13 displays data such as an encryption key required for non-short-range wireless communication connection on the touch display 135, and the user inputs the data to the user terminal device 12, or the store terminal device 13 displays the touch display 135. The data such as the encryption key required for the non near field wireless communication connection is displayed as a two-dimensional barcode, and the user scans the two-dimensional barcode with the camera of the user terminal device 12 so that the data such as the encryption key is displayed on the user terminal. The user terminal device 12 and the store terminal device 13 may be configured to establish a non-short-range wireless communication connection by inputting to the device 12. In this case, compared with the case of using short-range wireless communication, it takes time to input data, scan a two-dimensional barcode, etc., but the user terminal device 12 is a communication IF for short-range wireless communication (second communication IF 127). There is a merit that it is not necessary to have.

  Further, for example, the user terminal device 12 and the store terminal device 13 may be configured to transmit and receive various data such as order data and completion notification by short-range wireless communication without performing non-short-range wireless communication connection. In this case, S202 and S203 in the flow shown in FIG. 15 are not necessary, and data transmission / reception in S204 and S210 is performed by short-range wireless communication. Therefore, the user needs to bring the user terminal device 12 close to a predetermined position of the store terminal device 13 every time a new musical piece is ordered and every time the karaoke performance ordered by the user is completed. Thus, in this modification, compared with the case where non-short-range wireless communication is used, the user has to approach the user terminal device 12 to the store terminal device 13 a plurality of times. There is a merit that 12 does not have to include a communication IF (first communication IF 126) for non near field communication. Furthermore, after the user carrying the user terminal device 12 goes out of the booth, short-range wireless communication is not performed between the user terminal device 12 and the store terminal device 13, so that the user of the booth changes. There is also an advantage that there is no need to change the encryption key or the like required for wireless communication connection.

(2) In place of the short-range wireless communication employed in the karaoke system 1 described above, for example, infrared communication, wired communication, or the like is difficult to maintain communication connection inside and outside the booth. It may be adopted. In this case, as compared with the case of using short-range wireless communication, it takes time to align the infrared transmission unit and the reception unit (in the case of infrared communication), connect the cable (in the case of wired communication), etc. There is an advantage that 12 does not have to include the communication IF (second communication IF 127) for short-range wireless communication.

(3) In the description of the karaoke system 1 described above, it is assumed that the store terminal device 13 includes a communication IF (second communication IF 140) for short-range wireless communication. The short-range wireless communication IF (second communication IF 140) may be externally connected to the main body of the store terminal device 13. Similarly, the short-range wireless communication IF (second communication IF 127) of the user terminal device 12 may be externally connected to the main body of the user terminal device 12.

(4) In the description of the karaoke system 1 described above, it is assumed that the store terminal device 13 is a device in which all the components are housed in one housing. It may be realized by a plurality of devices connected to each other. As such a typical example, for example, it is conceivable to connect a PC such as a slate device built in the second communication IF 140 in which an application for the store terminal device 13 is installed to a data input / output IF of a conventional karaoke apparatus. In this case, reception of karaoke data from the karaoke data distribution server device 11, generation and output of sound waveform data of karaoke performance according to karaoke data, generation and output of image data indicating lyrics (and background), etc. Do. The PC receives order data from the user terminal device 12 and transmits a notification of completion of karaoke performance.

(5) The karaoke system 1 described above is a system in which the present invention is applied to a music order in a karaoke store. The present invention is not limited to ordering music at a karaoke store, but can be applied to ordering any type of item at any type of store. As a typical example other than the order of music at a karaoke store, for example, it is conceivable to apply the present invention to an order for food and drink at a restaurant. In that case, the user checks the menu using the user terminal device 12 before going to the restaurant, and registers the food (item) to be ordered in the order list in advance. Thereafter, the user can easily place an order by going to a restaurant and selecting a food to be actually ordered from the order list.

  In addition, when applying this invention to the order of the music in a karaoke store, the store terminal device 13 according to the order data received from the user terminal device 12, as a predetermined process for receiving an order, Processing such as acquisition from the karaoke data distribution server device 11 and karaoke performance according to the acquired karaoke data is executed. When the present invention is applied to an order other than a music order in a karaoke store, naturally, the processing (predetermined processing for receiving an order) performed by the store terminal device 13 according to the order data received from the user terminal device 12 is also different. . For example, when the present invention is applied to an order for food and drink at a restaurant, the store terminal device 13 browses the contents of the order data received from the user terminal device 12, for example, at a restaurant or hall staff. Performs processing to be displayed on the display. Thereby, the order for the restaurant staff is completed.

(6) In the description of the karaoke system 1 described above, it is assumed that the karaoke data distribution server device 11 and the store terminal device 13 are separate devices arranged in different casings. 11 and the store terminal device 13 may be arranged in one housing. As shown in FIG. 1, when the karaoke data distribution server device 11 is physically independent from the store terminal device 13, for example, there are a plurality of booths in one karaoke store, and the store terminal devices 13 are arranged in each booth. If the store terminal device 13 is arranged in each of a plurality of booths of a plurality of karaoke stores, the plurality of store terminal devices 13 jointly use one karaoke data distribution server device 11 Has the advantage of being easy to build. On the other hand, if the karaoke data distribution server device 11 and the store terminal device 13 are arranged in the same housing, there is an advantage that the system can be simplified. For example, when there is a difference in performance between the store terminal devices 13 arranged in each of a plurality of karaoke stores and the same karaoke data cannot be shared, one karaoke data distribution server device 11 is connected to a plurality of store terminals. Since the merit shared by the apparatus 13 is small, it may be desirable to arrange the karaoke data distribution server apparatus 11 and the store terminal apparatus 13 in the same casing.

(7) In the description of the karaoke system 1 described above, it is assumed that the application distribution server device 17 is an individual device arranged in a housing different from both the karaoke data distribution server device 11 and the store terminal device 13. However, the application distribution server device 17 may be arranged in the same housing as the karaoke data distribution server device 11 or the store terminal device 13. When the application distribution server device 17 is disposed in the same housing as the store terminal device 13, the application distribution server device 17 is in addition to or instead of distributing the application via the Internet 8 in the booth of the karaoke store. The application may be distributed via the wireless LAN 9.

(8) In the karaoke system 1 described above, when the user places an order for karaoke performance with respect to the store terminal device 13, the tune to be actually ordered is selected from a pre-selected list of tunes (order list). The configuration is selected again. Instead of this, the selection at the time of ordering may be unnecessary, and all the songs (items) included in the order list may be ordered. In this case, if each participant of the karaoke party has registered a plurality of songs in the order list, the songs ordered by the same user are registered side by side in the order management DB. It is not desirable because it will sing continuously. Therefore, for example, the karaoke performance of the music already ordered by the user who has already finished singing is not performed until all the users who have already ordered the music have finished singing one song at a time. It is desirable that the order adjustment process is performed.

(9) In the karaoke system 1 described above, the music displayed on the order history screen is only the music sung in the past by the user of the user terminal device 12 displaying the order history screen. The music sung by other users who participated in the program may be viewable on the order history screen (or other screen). In this case, for example, the user terminal device 12 uses the short-distance wireless communication started in S201 of FIG. 15 or the non-short-distance wireless communication connection established in S203 to indicate the user name (user name). Data is transmitted to the store terminal device 13. A data field [user name] is provided in the order history DB (FIG. 16) and the order management DB (FIG. 17). When the store terminal device 13 receives the order data from the user terminal device 12 (S204), the order data is transmitted. The text data indicating the user name received from the original user terminal device 12 is registered in the order management DB together with the music ID, and the completion including the text data indicating the user name of the user who ordered the music for the karaoke performance when the karaoke performance is completed. A notification is transmitted to the user terminal devices 12 of all users (S210). With this configuration, the user terminal device 12 can display, on the order history screen, the history information of the songs ordered by other users who enjoy the karaoke party in addition to the songs ordered by the user of the own device. It becomes.

(10) In the karaoke system 1 described above, music data extracted in accordance with the keyword transmitted from the user terminal device 12 to the karaoke data distribution server device 11 in S104 of FIG. 9 from the karaoke data distribution server device 11 as menu data. It is transmitted to the user terminal device 12. Music extraction in the karaoke data distribution server apparatus 11 may not be performed. In this case, the user terminal device 12 transmits a menu data transmission request not including a keyword to the karaoke data distribution server device 11 (S104), and the karaoke data distribution server device 11 is registered in the karaoke DB (FIG. 4). Menu data including data relating to all music pieces is transmitted to the user terminal device 12 (S105). In that case, once the user terminal device 12 receives the menu data from the karaoke data distribution server device 11, the user terminal device 12 holds the menu data in the storage means 1205, and the new menu data is stored in the karaoke data at the time of the next music search. By reusing the menu data stored in the storage unit 1205 instead of receiving from the distribution server device 11, the time required for receiving the menu data can be shortened.

  In this modification, the menu data in the user terminal device 12 may be automatically updated. Specifically, for example, when a predetermined event occurs, for example, when an application is activated in the user terminal device 12, the user terminal device 12 inquires the karaoke data distribution server device 11 to update the menu data, and distributes the karaoke data. In response to the inquiry, the server device 11 transmits to the user terminal device 12 data indicating changes made to the karaoke DB after the last update time of the menu data in the user terminal device 12. The user terminal device 12 updates the menu data stored in the storage unit 1205 according to the received data.

  According to this modification, menu data including data relating to all music is stored in the user terminal device 12, so that the storage unit 1205 has a large storage capacity compared to the case of the above-described embodiment. However, since it is not necessary to receive the menu data from the karaoke data distribution server device 11 every time the music is searched, the speed of searching the music is increased and the user terminal device 12 cannot be temporarily connected to the Internet 8. Even in such a case, there is an advantage that music can be searched and selected.

(11) In the karaoke system 1 described above, the storage unit 1205 of the user terminal device 12 is assumed to be realized by the SDD 124 built in the main body of the user terminal device 12, but the storage unit of the user terminal device 12 1205 may be a so-called cloud storage arranged in a server device that can be accessed by the main body of the user terminal device 12 via the Internet 8.
