When the identifier of one erroneously reserved music received from the remote control device R exists in the correct / erroneous reserved music storage unit 50a, the extraction unit 70a has at least one positive reservation associated with the identifier of the one erroneously reserved music. Extract the identifier of the song.

When the user notices the wrong song selection for the song currently being played, the remote controller R transmits the identifier of the song as the identifier of the erroneously reserved song (details will be described later).

For example, it is assumed that "ID *** X1" is received from the remote controller device R as an identifier of the erroneously reserved music. The extraction unit 70a refers to the table of the correct / incorrect reserved music storage unit 50a, and determines whether or not the received erroneous reserved music identifier “ID *** X1” exists.

According to the example of FIG. 4, the identifier "ID *** X1" of the received erroneously reserved music exists, and the identifiers include the identifier "ID *** Y1" of the positively reserved music Y1 and the positively reserved music Y2. The identifier "ID *** Y2" is associated with it. Therefore, the extraction unit 70a extracts the identifiers “ID *** Y1” and the identifiers “ID *** Y2” of the two regularly reserved songs. The extraction unit 70a may extract at least one identifier of the regularly reserved music even when a plurality of identifiers of the regularly reserved music are associated with each other.

On the other hand, there may be a case where the identifier of one erroneously reserved music received from the remote control device R does not exist. In this case, the extraction unit 70a does not extract the identifier of the regularly reserved music.

(Server side transmission processing unit)
The server-side transmission processing unit 70b transmits the extracted identifier of at least one normally reserved music to the remote controller R that has transmitted the identifier of one erroneously reserved music.

As described above, it is assumed that the extraction unit 70a has extracted the identifiers "ID *** Y1" and the identifiers "ID *** Y2" of the two regularly reserved songs. In this case, the server-side transmission processing unit 70b transmits these identifiers to the remote controller device R. Even when a plurality of identifiers are extracted, the server-side transmission processing unit 70b may transmit at least one identifier.

If the extraction unit 70a does not extract the identifier of the reserved music, the server-side transmission processing unit 70b transmits a signal to that effect to the remote controller R. Based on the signal, the remote control device R displays a message prompting the user to re-book the music by searching again.

== Remote control device ==
As shown in FIG. 5, the remote control device R includes a storage means 100, a communication means 110, a display means 120, an operation means 130, and a control means 140. Each configuration is connected to bus B via an interface (not shown).

The storage means 100 is a large-capacity storage device that stores various types of data. For example, the storage means 100 stores information such as an identifier of a song that can be sung by the karaoke device K, a song name of each song, a singer name, and lyrics of the song. The communication means 110 provides an interface for connecting the remote control device R and the karaoke device K or the server device S. The display means 120 is configured to perform various displays such as a music search screen. The operation means 130 is configured to input an operation to the remote controller R. The operation means 130 may be a touch panel using the display means 120. On the touch panel screen, a plurality of icons corresponding to various operations are displayed.

[Control means]
The control means 140 performs various controls on the remote controller R. The control means 140 includes a CPU and a memory (neither of which is shown). The CPU realizes various functions by executing a program stored in the memory. In the present embodiment, the control means 140 functions as a remote control side transmission processing unit 140a and a display control unit 140b.

(Remote control side transmission processing unit)
The remote control side transmission processing unit 140a uses the identifier of the currently playing song as the identifier of one erroneously reserved song when the user inputs a rebooking instruction during the karaoke performance of the song by the karaoke device K. It is transmitted to the device S.

The re-reservation instruction input is performed, for example, by the user selecting the "re-reservation" icon displayed on the display means 120 of the remote controller device R.

For example, it is assumed that the performance control unit 11b of the karaoke device K performs the karaoke performance of the music X1 selected by the user U. On the other hand, it is assumed that the song that the user U originally wants to sing karaoke is the song Y1 with the same song name as the song X1.

In this case, the user U who listens to the karaoke performance of the music X1 notices that his / her music selection is wrong. Therefore, the user U selects the "rebook" icon displayed on the display means 120. Based on the selection, the remote control side transmission processing unit 140a instructs the karaoke device K performing the karaoke performance to re-reserve and inquire about the music currently being played. In the present embodiment, the remote controller R side cannot grasp the music currently being played in karaoke.

The performance control unit 11b of the karaoke device K transmits the song ID "ID *** X1" of the currently playing song X1 to the remote control device R in response to the inquiry of the currently playing song received from the remote control device R. ..

The remote control side transmission processing unit 140a transmits the received music ID “ID *** X1” to the server device S as an identifier of one erroneously reserved music.

(Display control unit)
The display control unit 140b performs various display controls on the remote controller R. In the present embodiment, the display control unit 140b causes the display means 120 to display the music corresponding to the identifier of at least one normally reserved music received from the server device S on the display means 120 so that the user can select the music as the music to be rebooked. ..

For example, it is assumed that the identifier "ID *** Y1" and the identifier "ID *** Y2" of the two regularly reserved songs are received from the server-side transmission processing unit 70b.

In this case, the display control unit 140b includes the song name of the song Y1 corresponding to the identifier "ID *** Y1" and the song name of the song Y2 corresponding to the identifier "ID *** Y2", as well as the singer name and the lyrics of the beginning of the song. The music selection screen including the above is displayed on the display means 120. The user can select the music Y1 or the music Y2 as a music to be rebooked. The music Y1 and the music Y2 are musics associated with the music X1 which is an erroneously reserved music as a normally reserved music. That is, it can be said that the music Y1 and the music Y2 are likely to be the music that the user U originally desires to sing karaoke. Here, as described above, the user U wants to sing the karaoke of the music Y1. Therefore, the user U can select the music Y1 from the music Y1 and the music Y2 displayed on the display means 120.

== Processing in the karaoke system ==
Next, a specific example of the processing in the karaoke system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing example in the karaoke system 1. In this example, it is assumed that the correct / incorrect reserved music storage unit 50a stores the identifier of the incorrect reserved music and the identifier of the positively reserved music in association with each other. Further, it is assumed that the performance control unit 11b of the karaoke device K is performing the karaoke performance of the music X1 selected by the user U. Then, it is assumed that the user U who listens to the karaoke performance of the music X1 notices that his / her music selection is wrong.

In this case, the remote controller R receives an instruction input for re-reserving the music X1 from the user U (instruction input for re-reservation. Step 10).

When the instruction input in step 10 is received, the remote control side transmission processing unit 140a transmits the identifier of the music X1 currently being played to the server device S as the identifier of one erroneously reserved music (identifier of one erroneously reserved music). Is transmitted. Step 11).

The extraction unit 70a of the server device S is associated with at least one of the identifiers of the one erroneously reserved music from the correct / erroneous reserved music storage unit 50a based on the identifier of the one erroneously reserved music transmitted in step 11. Extract the identifier of the regular reserved music (extract the identifier of the regular reserved music. Step 12).

The server-side transmission processing unit 70b transmits the identifier of at least one regularly reserved music extracted in step 12 to the remote controller R that transmitted the identifier of one erroneously reserved music in step 11 (identifier of the extracted normally reserved music). Is transmitted. Step 13).

The display control unit 140b of the remote control device R provides the display means 120 so that the user can select a song corresponding to the identifier of at least one normally reserved song transmitted from the server device in step 13 as a song to be rebooked. Display (display the music to be rebooked. Step 14).

As described above, in the karaoke system 1 according to the present embodiment, the karaoke device K, the server device S, and the remote controller device R are communicably connected to each other. The server device S stores the identifier of the erroneously reserved song, which is a song reserved by the user's wrong song selection, and the identifier of the erroneously reserved song, which is the song rebooked from the erroneously reserved song. When the reserved music storage unit 50a and the identifier of one erroneously reserved music received from the remote control device R exist in the correct / incorrect reserved music storage unit 50a, at least one associated with the identifier of the one erroneously reserved music. An extraction unit 70a that extracts the identifier of the regularly reserved music, and a server-side transmission processing unit 70b that transmits the extracted identifier of at least one normally reserved music to the remote control device R that has transmitted the identifier of one erroneously reserved music. Have. The remote control device R sends the identifier of the currently playing song to the server device S as the identifier of one erroneously reserved song when the user gives an instruction to rebook during the karaoke performance of the song by the karaoke device K. A display for displaying a song corresponding to the identifier of at least one normally reserved song received from the remote control side transmission processing unit 140a and the server device S on the display means 120 so that the user can select the song as a song to be rebooked. It has a control unit 140b and.

According to such a karaoke system 1, a normally reserved song associated with an erroneously reserved song can be presented as a song to be rebooked. There is a high possibility that the normally reserved song is a song that the user who reserved the erroneously reserved song originally wants to sing karaoke. Therefore, by displaying the normally reserved music on the display means 120 so that the user can select the music as the music for which the reserved music is re-reserved, the user can easily select the music again. In addition, by presenting such a reserved song, even if the user mistakenly remembers the name of the song that the user originally wants to sing karaoke, the song that the user originally wants to sing karaoke can be selected. The possibility of selecting songs increases. That is, according to the karaoke system 1 according to the present embodiment, even if a song is reserved due to a wrong song selection by the user, it becomes easy to reselect the song that the user originally wants to sing karaoke. ..

Further, the karaoke device K according to the present embodiment has a performance control unit 11b that outputs a guide vocal sound corresponding to the music currently being played when there is an instruction input for rebooking. When the performance control unit 11b outputs the guide vocal sound, the singer who notices that he / she has made a mistake in selecting the song sings along with the karaoke performance even while selecting the song that he / she originally wants to sing. Since the sound is output, it is possible to avoid the atmosphere of the place from rising.

<Modified example of the first embodiment>
Here, the correct / incorrect reserved music storage unit 50a may further associate and store the number of changes with respect to the associated erroneous reserved music identifier and the positive / incorrect reserved music identifier. The number of changes is the number of times that a certain erroneously reserved song is rebooked to a certain positively reserved song.

FIG. 7 is a table of identifiers of erroneously reserved music and identifiers of correctly reserved music stored in the correct / incorrect reserved music storage unit 50a in the present embodiment.

For example, the identifier "ID *** X1" of the erroneously reserved song X1 is associated with the identifier "ID *** Y1" of the regular reserved song Y1 and the identifier "ID *** Y2" of the regular reserved song Y2. There is. Further, "50" is associated with the number of changes from the erroneously reserved music X1 to the regular reserved music Y1, and "89" is associated with the number of changes from the erroneously reserved music X1 to the regular reserved music Y2. This indicates that the user who mistakenly selected the music X1 has selected the music Y1 again 50 times and the music Y2 again 89 times.

The extraction unit 70a according to this modification, together with the identifiers of the plurality of regularly reserved songs associated with the identifiers of one erroneously reserved music, reserves each of the plurality of erroneously reserved songs from the one erroneously reserved music. Extract the number of changes made.

For example, it is assumed that the extraction unit 70a extracts the identifiers "ID *** Y1" and the identifiers "ID *** Y2" of the two regularly reserved songs based on the table of FIG. 7. In this case, the extraction unit 70a extracts "50" as the number of times the music X1 is re-reserved to the music Y1, and extracts "50" as the number of times the music X1 is re-reserved to the music Y1. "89" is extracted as the number of times the music is rebooked for the music Y2.

The server-side transmission processing unit 70b according to this modification transmits the extracted identifiers of the plurality of normally reserved songs and the number of changes to the remote controller device that has transmitted the identifier of one erroneously reserved song.

For example, the server-side transmission processing unit 70b has the identifier “ID *** Y1” of the extracted regular reserved music and the number of changes “50”, and the identifier “ID *** Y2” of the regular reserved music and the number of changes “89”. Is transmitted to the remote controller R that has transmitted the identifier "ID *** X1" of the erroneously reserved music X1.

The display control unit 140b according to this modification sets the display mode as the music to be re-reserved according to the number of changes of the plurality of regularly reserved music.

The display mode can be set by various methods. For example, the display control unit 140b displays a plurality of regularly reserved songs on the display means 120 in descending order of the number of changes. Further, the display control unit 140b can increase the size of the characters to be displayed and change the display color as the number of changes is larger for the regularly reserved music. Alternatively, when the number of identifiers of the received positively reserved music is large, the display control unit 140b may display only the changed number of regularly reserved music satisfying a predetermined condition (for example, 50 times or more) on the display means 120.

As described above, the correct / incorrect reserved music storage unit 50a according to this modification is re-reserved from the erroneously reserved music to the positively reserved music with respect to the associated erroneous reserved music identifier and the positively reserved music identifier. The number of changes is associated and memorized. The extraction unit 70a, together with the identifiers of the plurality of normally reserved songs associated with the identifiers of the one erroneously reserved music, is a change re-reserved from the one erroneously reserved music to each of the plurality of normally reserved songs. Extract the number of times. The server-side transmission processing unit 70b transmits the extracted identifiers of the plurality of normally reserved songs and the number of changes to the remote controller R that has transmitted the identifier of one erroneously reserved song. The display control unit 140b sets the display mode as the music to be re-reserved according to the number of changes of the plurality of regularly reserved music. By setting the display mode as the music to be re-reserved according to the number of changes of the reserved music in this way, it is possible to display the music that is easily mistakenly reserved in an easy-to-understand manner. Therefore, the user can easily select a song that he or she originally wants to sing karaoke.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, the karaoke system according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. In the present embodiment, a process when one song is re-reserved for an erroneously reserved song will be described. A detailed description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment will be omitted.

== Remote control device ==
(Remote control side transmission processing unit)
The remote control side transmission processing unit 140a according to the present embodiment transmits the identifier of the music re-reserved by the user to the server device S as the identifier of one positively reserved music for one erroneously reserved music.

For example, in the example of the first embodiment, it is assumed that the music Y1 is selected by the user U among the music Y1 and the music Y2 displayed on the display means 120. In this case, the remote control side transmission processing unit 140a, together with the identifier "ID *** X1" of the music X1 which is an erroneously reserved music, as the identifier of the regularly reserved music with respect to the music X1, the identifier "ID *** Y1" of the music Y1. Is transmitted to the server device S. If, among the songs to be rebooked displayed on the display means 120, there is no song that the user originally wants to sing karaoke, or if there is no song to be rebooked corresponding to the erroneously reserved song in the first place, The re-booked music will be selected by the user's search again. Even in such a case, the remote control side transmission processing unit 140a transmits the identifier of the positively reserved music selected by the re-search to the server device S together with the identifier of the erroneously reserved music.

== Server device ==
As shown in FIG. 8, in the present embodiment, the control means 70 functions as an extraction unit 70a, a server-side transmission processing unit 70b, and a storage control unit 70c.

(Memory control unit)
The storage control unit 70c determines whether or not the combination of the received identifier of the erroneously reserved music and the identifier of the one erroneously reserved music is stored in the erroneously reserved music storage unit 50a.

When the combination is not stored, the storage control unit 70c stores the identifier of one erroneously reserved music and the identifier of one erroneously reserved music in the correct / erroneous reserved music storage unit 50a in association with the initial value of the number of changes. Let me. The initial value is the lowest value when counting the number of changes, and is usually "1".

On the other hand, when the combination is stored, the storage control unit 70c adds the number of changes associated with the identifier of one erroneously reserved music and the identifier of one positively reserved music.

For example, it is assumed that the table shown in FIG. 7 is stored in the correct / incorrect reserved music storage unit 50a. Further, the remote control side transmission processing unit 140a together with the identifier "ID *** X1" of the music X1 which is an erroneously reserved music, the identifier of the music Y1 "ID *** Y1" as the identifier of the regularly reserved music with respect to the music X1. Is sent.

In this case, the storage control unit 70c determines whether or not the combination of the received identifier “ID *** X1” of the music X1 and the identifier “ID *** Y1” of the music Y1 is stored in the correct / incorrect reserved music storage unit 50a. to decide.

According to the example of FIG. 7, the combination of the identifier “ID *** X1” of the music X1 and the identifier “ID *** Y1” of the music Y1 is stored in the correct / incorrect reserved music storage unit 50a.

In this case, the storage control unit 70c adds "1" to the number of changes associated with the identifier "ID *** X1" of the music X1 and the identifier "ID *** Y1" of the music Y1 to calculate the number of changes. Update to 51 times.

On the other hand, if the remote control side transmission processing unit 140a, together with the identifier "ID *** X1" of the music X1 which is an erroneously reserved music, the identifier of the music Y3 "ID *** Y3" as the identifier of the regularly reserved music with respect to the music X1.

According to the example of FIG. 7, the combination of the identifier “ID *** X1” of the music X1 and the identifier “ID *** Y3” of the music Y3 is not stored in the correct / incorrect reserved music storage unit 50a.

In this case, the memory control unit 70c associates the identifier "ID *** X1" of the music X1 and the identifier "ID *** Y3" of the music Y3 with the initial value "1" of the number of changes to the correct / incorrect reserved music 50a. It is newly stored (see FIG. 9).

As described above, the remote control side transmission processing unit 140a according to the present embodiment transmits the identifier of the music reserved by the user to the server device S as the identifier of the one positively reserved music for one erroneously reserved music. The server device S is a storage control unit 70c that determines whether or not a combination of a received identifier of one erroneously reserved music and an identifier of one erroneously reserved music is stored in the correct / erroneous reserved music storage unit 50a. When is not stored, the identifier of one erroneously reserved music and the identifier of one erroneously reserved music are associated with the initial value of the number of changes and stored in the correct / erroneous reserved music storage unit 50a, and the combination is memorized. It has a storage control unit 70c that adds the number of changes associated with the identifier of one erroneously reserved music and the identifier of one positively reserved music. According to such a karaoke system 1, the table stored in the correct / incorrect reserved music storage unit 50a can be updated as appropriate.

<Others>
In addition, there is a possibility that the user mistakenly selects the rebooking icon even though there is no song currently being played. According to the example of the above embodiment, even in such a case, the remote control side transmission processing unit 140a instructs the karaoke device K performing the karaoke performance to re-reserve and the music currently being played. Make an inquiry.

Therefore, even if the performance control unit 11b receives an instruction to rebook, if there is no music currently being played, the performance control unit 11b may transmit a signal to that effect to the remote controller R. The display control unit 140b of the remote controller R causes the display means 120 to display a message indicating that there is no music currently being played.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which the remote control side transmission processing unit 140a gives an instruction to re-reserve and inquire about the music currently being played to the karaoke device K performing the karaoke performance has been described. On the other hand, the karaoke device K may transmit the music ID of the music to which the karaoke performance is performed together with the signal to that effect at the start and the end of the karaoke performance of the music to the remote controller R. Further, in this case, the display control unit 140b of the remote controller device R may display the icon for inputting the instruction for rebooking on the display means 120 only during the karaoke performance of a certain song. With such a configuration, the remote control side transmission processing unit 140a can save the trouble of inquiring about the music currently being played.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the remote controller R gives an instruction to rebook, the performance control unit 11b has described an example in which the guide vocal sound corresponding to the music currently being played is output. On the other hand, the karaoke device K sets the reception period of the re-reserved music as the period from the instruction of the re-reservation to the elapse of a predetermined time, and receives the identifier of the music from the remote control device R during the reception period of the re-reserved music. In the case, the reservation unit 11a re-reserves the identifier of the received music, interrupts the reservation at the head of the reservation queue of the storage means 13 as the identifier of the music, stops the performance of the music currently being played, and karaoke the received music. You may start playing.

Further, the remote control device R sets the period from the input of the re-reserving instruction from the user to the elapse of a predetermined time as the music selection period of the re-reserved music, and sets the identifier of the music selected during the music selection period of the re-reserved music. It may be transmitted to the karaoke device K as an identifier of the re-reserved music.

With such a configuration, it is possible to quickly shift to a song that the user originally desires to sing karaoke. If the user changes his / her mind after inputting the re-booking instruction and wants to cancel the re-booking, the user selects the "stop playing" icon on the remote controller R. The remote control device R ends the music selection period of the re-reserved music according to the selection. Then, the karaoke device K may end the acceptance period of the re-reserved music and cancel the karaoke performance of the music currently being played.

Further, when the remote control device R transmits the identifier of the re-reserved music to the karaoke device K, the remote control device R also transmits the identifier of the currently playing music received from the karaoke device K, and the karaoke device K also transmits the re-reserved music. Only the identifier of the music received together with the identifier of the music currently being played may be used as the identifier of the re-reserved music during the reception period of.

With such a configuration, while the user is selecting a song to be rebooked, the identifier of the song selected by another user with another remote control device (remote control device different from the remote control device R) is transmitted. If so, the karaoke device K can register the identifier of the music in the reservation queue as the identifier of the music selected as usual, instead of the identifier of the re-reserved music.

Further, in the above embodiment, the "rebook" icon is displayed on the display means 120 of the remote controller R for inputting the rebooking instruction. On the other hand, the icon of "stop playing" for canceling the karaoke performance of the music being played, which has been conventionally displayed, may be used when rebooking.

In general, it is common to hear the prelude and notice the wrong song selection, or to see the display of the first lyrics telop and notice the wrong song selection. That is, only when a certain condition such as the position where the performance stop icon is selected is before the predetermined position or the singing voice is never input is satisfied, the performance is not canceled but the reservation is re-booked. Can be determined.

Therefore, the remote control side transmission processing unit 140a confirms whether or not a certain condition is satisfied when the icon for stopping the performance is selected. When a certain condition is satisfied, the remote control side transmission processing unit 140a determines that the user has input a rebooking instruction during the karaoke performance of the music by the karaoke device, and sets the identifier of the music currently being played as one. It is transmitted to the server device S as an identifier of the erroneously reserved music. With such a configuration, it is not necessary to increase the number of new icons displayed on the display means 120, so that an existing remote controller device can be used. In addition, there is no need to change the layout of the display screen due to the increase in new icons.

The above embodiment is presented as an example and does not limit the scope of the invention. The above configurations can be implemented in appropriate combinations, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. The above-described embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the scope and gist of the invention, as well as in the scope of the invention described in the claims and the equivalent scope thereof.
