  In FIG. 7, first, when playback of karaoke music (which has already been reserved) is started in the karaoke device 10 in step SB1, a corresponding background video (in the above example) is displayed on the main display 16A in step SC1. Then, the display of the background video M1 or M2) is started. During this playback / display, the user desires to play back a desired moving image (moving image D1 in the above example) stored in the EEPROM of the operation terminal 30 by appropriate operation of the operation terminal 30 (reproduction request). Is transmitted to the karaoke apparatus 10 (step SA1), the request is accepted by the karaoke apparatus 10 (specifically, the CPU 21. The same applies hereinafter). Thereafter, the karaoke apparatus 10 determines whether the karaoke piece being reproduced is the background separation prohibited piece or the background separation allowable piece (step SB2). Whether each karaoke piece corresponds to the above two is determined in advance and stored in an appropriate location of the karaoke apparatus 10.

  If the karaoke song being played is a background separation prohibited song as described above, the determination in step SB2 is satisfied, and the karaoke device 10 notifies the operation terminal 30 that “background separation prohibited song is being played”. A notification is output (step SB3). Thereafter, as a preparatory process for displaying a moving image as described above, an inquiry is made to the remote controller 60 as to whether it is properly connected (with the karaoke device 10), and the response is received. (Step SB4). Similarly, an inquiry is made as to whether or not the sub display 16B is correctly connected (with the karaoke apparatus 10), and an answer is received (step SB5). Similarly, an inquiry is made to the main display 16A as to whether it is correctly connected (with the karaoke device 10), and an answer is received (step SB6). Thereby, for example, whether the display area of the remote controller 60 or the area of the sub-display 16B can be used as a display destination of a moving image to be transmitted later, and whether the display by the above-described screen division is possible on the main display 16A. Is confirmed (in other words, identification of where the video can be used as a display destination). These inquiry results are totaled and transmitted from the karaoke apparatus 10 to the operation terminal 30 (step SB7).

  If an inquiry and a response (step SB5 and step SB6) for connection between the main display 16A and the sub-display 16B from the karaoke apparatus 10 are connected via HDMI (registered trademark: High-Definition Multimedia Interface), EDID (Extended Display Identification) What is necessary is just to confirm whether each display can be used as the display destination of the moving image from the operation terminal 30 by acquisition of Data) or the CEC command defined by HDMI.

  If the remote controller 60 is connected to the karaoke apparatus 10 via a LAN (wired or wireless LAN), the step SB4 includes an inquiry for information (IP address, MAC address, manufacturing number, etc.) identifying the remote controller 60. The type of the display area of the remote controller 60 is specified by the answer, and it can be confirmed whether it can be used as the display destination of the moving image from the operation terminal 30.

  Based on the transmitted inquiry result, the operation terminal 30 displays a list of items that can be displayed as a moving image (correctly connected to the karaoke apparatus 10) in the inquiry result (step SA2). . FIG. 8 shows a user selection screen 31 </ b> A displayed on the display unit 31 of the operation terminal 30. In the example of the user selection screen 31A, an inquiry to the main display 16A (see step SB6), an inquiry to the sub display 16B (see step SB5), an inquiry to the remote control 60 (see step SB4), , All of them respond to the case where an answer “moving image display is possible” has been transmitted. That is, the three buttons of the “main display (2-split display)” button 31a, the “sub-display” button 31b, and the “remote control” button 31c, which represent the moving image display destination candidates, are “current and background separation”. This message is displayed together with the message 31d, “Where is the movie displayed?

  Returning to FIG. 7, when the user selects and operates any one of the buttons 31 a to 31 c according to where the moving image is to be displayed, the operation selection result is transmitted to the karaoke device 10, and the karaoke Accepted by the device 10 (step SA3).

  Thereafter, when the user appropriately operates the operation terminal 30, desired moving image data (moving image D <b> 1) stored in the ROM, RAM, EEPROM, or the like is transmitted from the operation terminal 30 to the karaoke device 10, Obtained by the apparatus 10 (step SA4).

  Thereafter, when the user has selected and operated the “main display (two-division display)” button 31a based on the selection result received in step SA3, the determination in step SB8 is satisfied in the karaoke device 10 (SB8: Yes). . Thereby, based on the moving image data received in step SA4, the moving image data for split display on the two screens described above is generated and transmitted to the main display 16A (step SB9). As a result, the main display 16A replaces the display of the background video (background video M1 in the above example, see FIG. 4A) of the background separation prohibited music that has been displayed together with the playback of the karaoke music until this time, The display is switched to a two-division display including the background image and the moving image (in the above example, the moving image D1 and the background image M2, see FIG. 4B) (step SC2).

  If the user selects and operates the “sub display” button 31b based on the selection result received in step SA3, the determination in step SB10 is satisfied in the karaoke device 10 without satisfying the determination in step SB8 (SB10). : Yes). As a result, the moving image data received in step SA4 is transmitted to the sub-display 16B (step SB11). As a result, the display of the moving image (refer to moving image D1 in the above example, see FIG. 5) on the sub display 16B is started (step SD1). At this time, on the main display 16A, the background video (background video M2 in the above example) corresponding to the background separation prohibited music started in step SC1 is continuously displayed.

As a result, display of the moving image (refer to moving image D1 in the above example; FIG. 6) is started on the remote controller 60 (step SE1). At this time, on the main display 16A, similarly to the above, the background video (background video M2 in the above example) corresponding to the background separation prohibited music started in step SC1 is continuously displayed.

  On the other hand, if the karaoke piece being played is not the background separation prohibited piece but the background separation allowable piece in step SB2, the determination in step SB2 is not satisfied, and the steps SB3, SB4, SB5, SB6 are not satisfied. , SB7, and SA3), the moving image data transmitted from the operation terminal 30 in step SA4 is acquired by the karaoke apparatus 10. Then, in the karaoke apparatus 10, the determination at steps SB8, SB10, and S12 is not satisfied, and the moving image data (moving image D1) received at step SA4 is directly transmitted to the main display 16A (step SB14). As a result, the main display 16A replaces the display of the background video of the background separation allowable music (background video M1 in the above example, see FIG. 3A) that has been displayed with the playback of the karaoke music until this time, Switching to the display of a moving image (moving image D1 in the above example, see FIG. 3B) (step SC3).

  As described above, in the first embodiment, when the user makes a reproduction request for a desired video during reproduction of karaoke music, whether the karaoke music being reproduced is a background separation-prohibited music or not. It is determined whether the song is a song (step SB2). In the case of the background separation allowable music, instead of the background video M1 displayed on the main display 16A at that time, the acquired desired moving image D1 of the user is displayed.

  On the other hand, in the case of the above background separation prohibited music, another display area (a half area of the divided screen of the main display 16A, the sub display 16B, or the remote control device 60) is maintained while maintaining the background video M2 that is already displayed. The acquired moving image D1 is displayed. Thereby, even if the karaoke music to reproduce | regenerate is a background separation permissible music or a background separation prohibition music, the user can display and enjoy the moving image D1 which he desires. As a result, convenience for the user can be improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, as areas in which a moving image can be displayed, an area allocated by screen division in the main display 16A, a display area provided in the sub display 16B, and a display area provided in the remote controller 60 are prepared.

Parts equivalent to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted or simplified as appropriate.

  In the present embodiment, the flow of processing executed in cooperation by the operation terminal 30, the karaoke apparatus 10, the main display 16A, the sub display 16B, and the remote controller 60 is shown in the sequence diagram of FIG. 9 corresponding to FIG. . In the illustrated sequence, the control program stored in the ROM, RAM, EEPROM, etc. (not shown) provided in the operation terminal 30 is executed by the CPU (not shown) of the operation terminal 30 as in the first embodiment. The control program stored in the ROM 23 of the karaoke apparatus 10 is executed by the CPU 21 and further stored in a ROM, RAM, EEPROM, etc. (not shown) provided in the remote controller 60 (moving picture display control program). Is executed by the CPU (corresponding to the control means, not shown) of the remote controller 60.

  In FIG. 9, first, in step SA4 similar to FIG. 7, when the user appropriately operates the operation terminal 30, desired moving image data (moving image D1) stored in the ROM, RAM, EEPROM or the like is obtained. Is transmitted from the operation terminal 30 to the karaoke apparatus 10 and acquired by the karaoke apparatus 10 (step SA4). This procedure corresponds to the moving image acquisition procedure described in each claim, and the CPU 21 executing this procedure functions as a moving image acquisition unit.

  Thereafter, in step SB14 similar to FIG. 7, the moving image data (moving image D1) received in step SA4 in karaoke apparatus 10 is transmitted to main display 16A. As a result, the main display 16A is set to display the moving image (moving image D1 in the above example, see FIG. 3B) as a background image to be displayed along with the subsequent reproduction of the karaoke music (step SC1). ′).

  At this time, in the remote controller 60, karaoke music is searched and selected by appropriate operations by the operator, and a reservation operation is performed (step SE2). FIG. 10 shows a reservation screen 61A displayed on the display unit 61 (corresponding to the display means) of the remote control device 60. In the example of this reservation screen 61A, “I feel you / Hiroshi Hirota” “Scarlet Town / Makoto Takasaka” “I forget ~ I don't want to see your tears /” Noboru Yamamura “Two dreams” / Makiko Kanno Are displayed in a list as selectable buttons 61a, 61b, 61c, 61d, and a “send and reserve” button 61e for a reservation operation after selection is provided at the lower right of them. For example, after any one of the buttons 61a, 61b, 61c, 61d is operated to select one song, and the button 61e is operated, a reservation operation for the selected song is performed.

  Returning to FIG. 9, the reservation content made in this way is transmitted to the karaoke apparatus 10 and accepted. This procedure corresponds to the reservation acceptance procedure described in each claim, and the CPU 21 executing this procedure functions as a reservation acceptance means.

  Thereafter, a connection information request for requesting connection confirmation (acquisition of connection information) from the remote control device 60 to the main display 16A, sub display 16B, etc. is transmitted to the karaoke device 10 and accepted (step SE4). ).

  After the above, in the karaoke apparatus 10, in step SB2 similar to FIG. 7, it is determined whether or not the selected karaoke music is the background separation prohibited music or the background separation allowable music. In addition, this step SB2 corresponds to the music determination procedure described in each claim, and the CPU 21 executing this procedure functions as a music determination unit.

  If the reserved karaoke piece is a background separation prohibited piece as described above, the determination in step SB2 is satisfied, and in steps SB4, SB5 and SB6 similar to FIG. 7, the remote control 60 and the sub display 16B are satisfied. The main display 16A is inquired as to whether it is correctly connected (with the karaoke device 10), and the answer is received. The CPU 21 that executes these steps SB4, SB5, and SB6 functions as specifying means described in each claim.

  Thereafter, as in step SB7 in FIG. 7, the inquiry results in steps SB5, SB6, and SB7 are aggregated and transmitted from karaoke apparatus 10 to remote control apparatus 60 (step SB7 '). Based on the transmitted inquiry result, the remote control device 60 displays an interrupt window W (see FIG. 11 to be described later) that can display a moving image in the inquiry result (correctly connected to the karaoke device 10). ) To be selectable (step SE5; corresponding to the selection screen display procedure).

  FIG. 11 shows the window W interrupted and displayed on the reservation screen 61A of the display unit 61 of the remote control device 60. This example shows a case where the song “Forget ~ I don't want to see your tears / Noboru Yamamura” selected on the reservation screen 61A of FIG. In the inquiry to the main display 16A, the sub display 16B, and the remote controller 60, all of them answered that “moving image display is possible”. That is, in the window W, three buttons of a “main display (two-divided display)” button 61A, a “sub-display” button 61B, and a “remote control” button 61c representing the moving image display destination candidates are displayed. It is displayed together with a message 61D “This song is a background separation prohibited song. Where do you want to display the movie?”.

  Returning to FIG. 9, when the user selects and operates any one of the buttons 61A to 61C corresponding to where the moving image is to be displayed, the operation selection result is transmitted to the karaoke apparatus 10 (selection). This corresponds to the result transmission procedure) and is accepted by the karaoke apparatus 10 (step SA3). The CPU 21 that executes this procedure functions as a selection receiving unit described in each claim.

  Thereafter, when the user has selected and operated the “main display (two-divided display)” button 61A based on the selection result received in step SE6, the determination in step SB8 similar to FIG. (SB8: Yes). Thereby, based on the moving image data received in step SA4, the moving image data for split display on the two screens described above is generated and transmitted to the main display 16A (step SB9). As a result, the main display 16A clears the display setting of only the moving image D1 set in the above-described step SC1 ′, and instead of the two-division display including the background video and the moving image (in the above example, the moving image D1). And the background video M2 (see FIG. 4B) are changed (step SC2 ′).

  If the user selects and operates the “sub display” button 61B or the “remote control” button 61C based on the selection result received in step SE6, the determination in step SB8 is not satisfied in the karaoke apparatus 10, and the main display 16A In response to this, a background video set notification (including data of the background video itself) is transmitted (step SB14 '). As a result, the main display 16A clears the display setting of only the moving picture D1 set in the above-described step SC1 ′, and instead, the background video (background video M2 in the above example, see FIGS. 5 and 6). ) Is changed (step SC3 ′).

  After that, if the user has selected and operated the “sub display” button 61B, the determination in step SB10 similar to FIG. 7 is satisfied (SB10: Yes), and the moving image data received in step SA4 is the sub display. 16B is transmitted (step SB11). As a result, the sub-display 16B is set so that the moving image (moving image D1 in the above example, see FIG. 5) is displayed (step SD1 ′).

  Further, if the user selects and operates the “remote control” button 61C as a result of selection received in step SE6, the determination in steps SB8 and SB10 is not satisfied in the karaoke device 10 as in FIG. Is satisfied (SB12: Yes). Thereby, the moving image data received in step SA4 is transmitted to the remote controller 60 (step SB13). As a result, the remote controller 60 is set so that the moving image (moving image D1 in the above example, see FIG. 6) is displayed (step SE1 ′).

  If the determination in step SB12 is not satisfied (that is, the user selects any one of “main display (2-split display)” button 61A, “sub-display” button 61B, and “remote control” button 61C based on the selection result received in step SE6). If the selection operation is also performed, the determination in step SB12 is not satisfied, and the process returns to step SB7 ', and step SB7' → step SE5 → step SE6 → step SB8 → step SB10 → step SB12 → until any button is operated. .. is repeated (that is, the karaoke music piece reproduction described later does not start) As a result, the CPU 21 that executes step SB12 functions as the reproduction control means described in each claim.

  On the other hand, if the reserved karaoke music piece is not the background separation prohibited music piece but the background separation permissible music piece in step SB2, the determination in step SB2 is not satisfied, and the steps SB4, SB5, SB6, SB7 are not satisfied. (Without passing through ', SE5, SE6, etc.), the display of the moving image D1 on the main display 16A in the above-mentioned step SC1' remains.
