DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a request type information providing apparatus capable of outputting predetermined information in response to a request, such as a karaoke apparatus or a public street terminal apparatus. The present invention relates to an apparatus having an advertisement information output function of outputting predetermined advertisement information while not outputting corresponding main information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, there has been known an information providing apparatus for outputting karaoke performance and video information in response to a request from a user, such as a karaoke apparatus or a public street terminal apparatus. Since these devices aim to respond to a user's request, if the requests are continuous, information corresponding to the requests (hereinafter referred to as “main information”) is continuously output. If there is no request, no main information is output.

For this reason, for example, in a karaoke apparatus, it is conceivable to output advertisement information using a period in which karaoke performance information (karaoke accompaniment, lyrics telop, background video, etc.) which is the main information is not output. For example, similar to a television advertisement, the advertisement information is audio information and video information having a length of about 15 seconds or 30 seconds.

[0004]

However, it is assumed that a user who has viewed the advertisement information is interested in, for example, a song (hereinafter, referred to as a "CM song") used in the advertisement information. However, the name of the CM song or the name of the singer is not always displayed, and in that case, it is necessary to ask someone or contact the sponsor of the CM by telephone, which is troublesome. .

[0005] In particular, CM songs used for advertisement information are generally popular or are likely to be of interest, and it is thought that they often want to sing karaoke once by watching the advertisement information. . Therefore, if the name of the CM song and the name of the singer are known, it is convenient when using the karaoke apparatus next time.

In the case where the information providing apparatus is a karaoke apparatus having an advertisement information output function, there are many cases where the user wants to sing a karaoke song about the CM song in which the user is interested. For this reason, it is considered that a demand for knowing information on the CM song such as the song title and the singer name becomes stronger.

In general, when a karaoke device requests a song, the identification number of the song is searched for, for example, from a quick sample (a list in which song names / singer names are associated with identification numbers), and a remote control input device is used. In such a case, it is necessary to input an identification number by operating a key. However, in the case of a karaoke apparatus having an advertisement information output function, since the karaoke apparatus is mainly used, the output advertisement information C
If an M song is requested, it is preferable that the request operation itself can be performed more easily.

[0008] These points are not limited to the karaoke apparatus which outputs karaoke performance as main information. For example, a video information providing apparatus which outputs a movie as main information, etc.
This is common to various information providing devices in the future multimedia society. Therefore, according to the present invention, when the advertisement information is output while the main information is not output, information (related information) related to the song or video used in the advertisement is also output, for example, a CM song or the like. In the case of a device capable of responding to the user's interest in and outputting main information corresponding to the related information,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a request-type information providing device that makes it easy to approach the output of the main information.

[0009]

Memorize the numbers you have or type while looking at the display
On the other hand, it is very easy to input "0000" etc.
By setting a number that can perform
The work is realized.

Here, the related information will be described.
As described above, advertisement information is composed of at least one of audio information and video information.For example, it is not audio information or video information dedicated to advertisement, but information that uses independent songs and videos. There are many.
For example, this is the case where a part of a song that the singer sings itself as one piece of music is used for advertisement, or a part of a video created as a movie or drama program is used for advertisement.

In such a case, when considering, for example, audio information, the name of a song or the name of a singer can be considered as information on the original song. If the song is also a karaoke song, the song selection number, or, if it has not been registered yet and will be registered in the future, its scheduled registration date may be considered as the related information. On the other hand, as information on the original video, the movie name, the program name, and the like can be considered as the related information.

[0013] Since such related information is output, if the user who has viewed the advertisement information is interested in, for example, the CM song used in the advertisement information, the title of the CM song or the singer The name etc. can be understood immediately. In particular, if the user wants to sing karaoke once by watching the advertisement information, the name of the song and the name of the singer can be easily identified, which is convenient when the karaoke apparatus is used next time.
In particular, when the present information providing apparatus is applied to a karaoke apparatus, it is often the case that one wants to immediately sing a karaoke song about an interested CM song. It is very effective to know immediately.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a request-type information providing apparatus having request input means capable of requesting output of corresponding main information by inputting identification information of the main information. The related information may be as follows. That is, when the main information corresponding to the output related information is stored in the main information storage unit of the own device, the identification information of the main information is output as the related information. For example, when the request-type information providing device is applied as a karaoke device, if the CM song of the advertisement information is a song that can be requested as a karaoke song, identification information of the song (in this case, the request A music selection number or the like for performing the selection can be displayed). As a result, a user who wants to sing the CM song can remember the song selection number and input it from the request input means, which is convenient.

[0015]

[0016]

[0017]

The output timing of the related information is to be output during any one of the periods immediately before, during or immediately after the output of the advertisement information. Can be considered. That is, all of the advertisement information may be output from immediately before output to during and immediately after the output, or may be output only at any one of the timings. However, considering that the user often listens to the CM song and then becomes interested in the song, if the related information is output only immediately before the output of the advertisement information, the related information is output when the user wants to know. It may happen that the output of the information has been completed, so that it is necessary to consider this point.

In particular, when the main information can be requested by the apparatus itself, it is not practical to output the related information only immediately before the output of the advertisement information. Therefore, the output is preferably performed over all of the above three timings, and if it is a part of the output, it is preferable that the output be performed during the period from when the advertisement information is output to immediately after the output. In addition, during output, it is conceivable that the related information is not output at the same time as the start of the output of the advertisement information but is output from the latter half.

The application destination of the request-type information providing apparatus is not limited to a karaoke apparatus that outputs karaoke performance as main information, but may be a video information providing apparatus that outputs a movie as main information. In various information providing devices.

[0021]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration when a request-type information providing apparatus having an advertisement information output function is applied to a so-called video karaoke apparatus. In the following description, an advertisement is also called a CM.

As shown in FIG. 1, the karaoke apparatus 1 includes an input device 10, a hard disk 12, a CPU 13 as a control device, a program ROM 14 containing the processing procedure of the CPU 13, a work area of the CPU 13, or a karaoke music program. RAM 15 for storing the reservation contents of the
And an audio reproducing device 18 for reproducing audio information, an amplifier 20, a speaker 22, a microphone 23, a video reproducing device 24, a CRT 26, an entry sensor 28, and an occupancy sensor 29. .

[0023] The input device 10 corresponds to the request input hand stage in the present invention, been made in an effort to a reservation operation like karaoke playing, and CM reservation key 10a used for reservation of CM songs, A music number key 10b for inputting a music number is provided. The song number key 10
b has a numeric keypad for inputting numbers from 0 to 9, an alphabet key for inputting alphabets, and the like.

In the karaoke apparatus 1, a user can select a song to be sung by operating the input device 10. The reservation input by the song number key 10b is processed by interruption at an arbitrary time. You. Up to a predetermined number of the selected tunes can be stored in the reservation table in the RAM 15, and at the time of performance, the karaoke tunes are played according to the reservation order.

The hard disk 12 corresponds to a main information storage unit and an advertisement information storage unit in the present invention, and includes an audio information storage area 12a, a video information storage area 12b, and a CM information storage area 12c. I have. As shown in FIG. 2, the voice information storage area 12a has
The karaoke audio information is stored corresponding to the predetermined identification number, and the CM audio information is also stored corresponding to the predetermined identification number. The video information storage area 12b
, Video information for karaoke is stored corresponding to a predetermined identification number, and video information for CM is also stored corresponding to a predetermined identification number. Then, only the CM information is stored in the CM information storage area 12c in correspondence with the predetermined identification number.

As shown in FIG. 2, the CM information includes a CM header 30 for displaying information related to the music and video used in the CM, and a sound indicating the identification number of the sound information used for the CM. It comprises an information ID 32 and a video information ID 34 indicating an identification number of video information used for this CM. The CM header 30 will be described with reference to FIG.

The CM header 30 includes song name data 40 of a song (CM song) used in the CM, singer name data 42 singing the CM song, and song number data 44 reserved for karaoke performance. , And scheduled registration date data 46. The CM may create dedicated audio information or video information in some cases, but often uses separate and independent music or video. For example, this is the case where a part of a song that the singer sings itself as one piece of music is used for advertisement, or a part of a video created as a movie or drama program is used for advertisement. Therefore, in this embodiment, information on the original music is set in the CM header 30, and the music title and the singer's name are stored as described above. If the karaoke apparatus 1 can perform the music, a tune number is also stored for convenience of selection. Currently, the music is not registered in the karaoke apparatus 1 and cannot be played. However, if there is a plan to be registered soon, it is convenient to know the planned registration date.

In this embodiment, only the information related to the audio information of the CM has been described. For example, if a part of the video information of the CM separately created as a movie or drama program is used for advertisement, As the information on the original video, a movie name, a program name, and the like may be included in the CM header 30.

The audio reproducing device 18 and the amplifier 2
0, a speaker 22 and a microphone 23 are units relating to audio reproduction, and audio information sent from the hard disk 12 is converted into a music audio signal and output to the amplifier 20. When used as a karaoke device, the singing voice input through the microphone 23 is mixed with the singing voice of the user at an appropriate ratio, and the mixed audio signal is output to the outside by the speaker 22 as a performance sound.

On the other hand, the video reproducing device 24 and the CRT 26 are units relating to video reproduction, and the video information sent from the hard disk 12 is converted into a video signal, and when used as karaoke, it is combined with lyrics telop information. Output to the CRT 26. Next, the entry sensor 28 and the presence sensor 29 will be described. The karaoke apparatus 1 of the present embodiment is installed in a so-called karaoke box, and the entry sensor 28 is installed near the door of the karaoke box, and is a sensor for detecting that a person has entered the room. On the other hand, the occupancy sensor 29 is for detecting the presence of a person in the room. For example, a non-contact type sensor such as an infrared sensor may be used to detect the presence of a person somewhere in the room. Good, and also set sensors on the stage and chairs, people standing on the stage,
It may be determined that the user is sitting on a chair.

Next, the operation of the karaoke apparatus 1 thus configured will be described. FIG. 4 shows the karaoke apparatus 1
9 is a flowchart showing a main process executed by the CPU 13 of FIG. When the power is turned on, the main process is started, and first, the RAM 15 and the like are initialized by the control program stored in the program ROM 14 (S1).
0). In this initialization, the CM header counter C in the RAM 15 is set to 1.

Following the initialization in S10, the input device 10
Waits for a request for a karaoke song (S20). If there is a request (S20: YES), the flow shifts to S50 to perform a process related to the karaoke performance. The karaoke performance process in S50 will be described. The CPU 13 reads out audio information and video information corresponding to the requested music from the karaoke audio information storage area and the karaoke video information storage area of the hard disk 12, and the audio information is read by the audio playback device 18. In addition, the lyrics information and the video information
4 respectively. The sound reproducing device 18 converts the received sound information into a music sound signal and sends it to the amplifier 20, where the sound information is amplified and mixed with the singing voice of the user input via the microphone 23 at an appropriate ratio. Is output to the outside as a performance sound. On the other hand, the video information is converted to a background video signal by the video playback device 24 and is displayed on the CRT 26 in a state where the video information is combined with the lyrics telop also converted to the lyrics video signal.

When the karaoke performance processing for the requested music is completed in this way, it is determined whether or not there is a reservation by referring to the reserved music table in the RAM 15 (S6).
0) If there is a reserved song, karaoke performance processing (S50) is executed according to the reservation order. If there is no reservation, the process returns to S20 and returns to a state of waiting for a request input.

On the other hand, if there is no request input (S2
0: NO), it is determined whether there is an entrance based on the detection signals from the entrance sensor 28 and the occupancy sensor 29 (S3).
0). This “judgment as to whether or not there is an entry” will be additionally explained. This entry is for judging whether or not the person has entered the room at first, and even if a person enters from outside and the entry is detected by the entry sensor 28, if another person is already in the room, it is not determined. It does not correspond to "entrance" here. In other words, even if entry into the room is detected by the entry sensor 28, if it is detected by the in-room sensor 29 that there is another person in the room, the process proceeds to S30.
Is not affirmatively determined. An affirmative determination is made in S30 only when entry into the room is detected by the entry sensor 28 and it is detected by the in-room sensor 29 that the room is not in the occupancy state.

If it is determined that there is no entry (S30: NO), the process proceeds to S20.
Returning to the determination of whether or not there is a request input, if there is a room entry (S30: YES), processing related to CM reproduction / reservation is executed (S40). CM playback in S40
The reservation process will be described with reference to FIG.

First, it is determined whether or not there is a karaoke performance start instruction (S100), and if there is no start instruction (S10).
0: NO), the process proceeds to S110, but if there is a start instruction (S100: YES), this process is temporarily terminated without performing the processes after S110, and the process proceeds to S50 in FIG.
The processing pertaining to the karaoke performance described above is performed.

At S110, which is executed when there is no instruction to start the karaoke performance, the display of the CM related information and the C
M playback is started. Here, the display of the CM-related information and the reproduction of the CM will be described. Since the CM header counter C is set to 1 in the initialization of S10 in FIG. 4, at the time of the first CM reproduction, the CM information with the identification number = 1 is reproduced. That is, the hard disk 12
The corresponding CM information is read from the CM information storage area, and the song name data 40, the singer name data 42, the song number data 44, and the scheduled registration date data 46 in the CM header 30 are read.
The song name, singer name, song number, and expected registration date are displayed on the CRT 26 as CM-related information based on the. It should be noted that the scheduled registration date is necessary only when it has not been registered yet, so that, for example, for the already registered date, it is conceivable to display a content such as "currently available for request".

On the other hand, audio information and video information corresponding to the audio information ID 32 and the video information ID 34 in the CM information are
The audio information is read from the audio information storage area 12a and the video information storage area 12b of the hard disk 12, and the audio information is transferred to the audio playback device 18 and the video information is transferred to the video playback device 24, respectively. Subsequent output of audio or video is the same as in the case of karaoke, and a description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, the CM related information is stored in the CRT2.
6, the CM information is output from the CRT 26 and the speaker 22. The output timing of these two pieces of information, particularly the output timing of the related information, is at least one of immediately before, during or immediately after the output of the CM information. It is possible to output in one period. That is,
All the information may be output from immediately before the output of the CM information to during and immediately after the output, or may be output only at any one of the timings. However, considering that the user often listens to the actually output CM song to a certain extent and then becomes interested in the song,
If the CM-related information is output only immediately before the output of the CM information, when the user wants to know, the output of the CM-related information may end, so it is necessary to consider this point.

That is, in the case of the present embodiment, since it is possible to request a karaoke song by the apparatus itself, the CM
It is not realistic to output the CM-related information only immediately before outputting the information. Therefore, the output is preferably performed over all of the above three timings. If a part of them is to be output, the output is preferably performed during the period from the output of the CM information to immediately after the output. In addition, during the output, the CM related information may not be output simultaneously with the start of the output of the CM information, but may be output from the latter half.

When the CM related information is also displayed during the output of the CM information, the two pieces of information are combined and displayed. In this case, for example, the end of the screen,
That is, it is preferable that the advertisement is displayed not at the center of the screen but at the top, bottom, left and right end sides so as to minimize the advertising effect of the CM information. Immediately before or immediately after the output of the CM information, a large display may be performed at the center of the screen.

In this manner, the following processes of S120 to S160 are executed during the predetermined period during which the display of the CM related information and the reproduction of the CM are performed. That is, it is determined whether or not a song number has been input by the song number key 10b of the input device 10 (S
120), if no music number has been entered (S12)
0: NO), then, it is determined whether or not the CM reservation key 10a has been pressed (S130).

If the CM reservation key 10a has not been depressed (S130: NO), the flow shifts to S160 to determine whether the CM output has been completed (if the CM-related information is to be output immediately after the output of the CM information, the flow proceeds to S160). It is determined whether or not the output of the CM-related information has been completed.
Returning to step 20, the following processing is repeated.

Then, the music number key 10b of the input device 10
(S120: YE
S), it is determined whether or not the input number is a CM reservation number (S180). Even when a song number is input by the song number key 10b, a predetermined number (for example, “0000” or “9999”) corresponds to a CM instead of a number for requesting a normal karaoke song. A special CM reservation number for reserving music is set in advance, and it is determined whether or not the input music number is this CM reservation number.

Therefore, when the CM reservation number is set (S180: YES), the C corresponding to the CM being reproduced at present is read.
The music number data 44 is read from the M header 30 (S14).
0), the music number is written in the reservation table of the RAM 15, and the reservation processing is completed (S150). On the other hand, if it is not the CM reservation number (S180: NO), since it is a normal karaoke song reservation, the process directly proceeds to S150, and the song number is written in the reservation table of the RAM 15 to complete the reservation process.

As described above, until the CM output is completed,
Since the processes in S120 to S160 are repeated, a karaoke song corresponding to the CM currently being reproduced can be reserved by performing a predetermined operation while outputting the CM information or the CM-related information.

When the CM output is completed (S16)
0: YES), increments the CM header counter C (S170), returns to S100, and repeats again from the determination as to whether or not there is a karaoke performance start instruction. If there is no start instruction, the next step is S110. , That is, the CM information with the identification number = 2 is reproduced. Thus, the CM information is output in order until a karaoke performance start instruction is issued.

In the case of the present embodiment, the process does not return to S100 unless an affirmative determination is made in S160. Therefore, even if a karaoke song is reserved during CM output, the process does not immediately shift to karaoke performance. At this point, the karaoke performance is performed after the output is completed to the end. In other words, the reservation of a karaoke song is accepted at any time, but the actual karaoke performance is not executed until the CM is interrupted. The control may be such that the karaoke performance is given an absolute advantage and the karaoke performance is started even if the CM output is interrupted. In that case, as a follow-up to the interrupted CM information, for example, at the time of the next CM output, it is preferable to output again from the interrupted CM information.

In this embodiment, the CPU 13 corresponds to the output control means and the reservation means of the present invention.
5 corresponds to the processing as the output control means. Also, among the processes executed by the CPU 13, S120 to S160 and S180 in FIG.
Corresponds to the processing as the reservation means.

As described above, according to the karaoke apparatus 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to perform a karaoke performance according to a request, and a predetermined C
The M information is output. When the CM information is output, CM related information corresponding to the CM information is also output. According to the CM-related information, in addition to the song name and singer name of the CM song used for the CM, the song number for reservation as a karaoke song, and not yet registered in the karaoke apparatus 1, but will be registered in the future. In that case, the registration date is known.

Since this CM related information is output, the CM
If the user who has viewed the information is interested in the CM song used in the CM information, for example,
The name of the M song and the name of the singer can be easily understood. In particular, the C
If the user wants to sing karaoke once by watching the M information, the name of the song or the name of the singer can be easily identified, which is convenient when the karaoke apparatus is used next time.

Since it is often the case that the user wants to sing the CM song at karaoke immediately, displaying the song number is very effective. In other words, a user who wants to sing the CM song can remember the song number and operate the song number key 10b of the input device 10 to input the song, which is convenient.

If the karaoke apparatus 1 is configured to request a CM song of the output CM information, a tune selection number corresponding to the tune is not input as in the usual case, but is simplified. It is preferable that the request operation itself can be performed. In the above embodiment, a simple request operation can be performed in consideration of this point.

That is, as shown in S130 of FIG.
By pressing the CM reservation key 10a of the input device 10 while the CM information or the CM-related information is being output, the corresponding karaoke song can be reserved. This is such that reservation processing can be performed with one touch.

As shown in S120 and S180 in FIG. 5, the karaoke apparatus 1 assigns a very easily inputtable number such as "0000" using the music number key 10b used for a normal request. The reservation process can be performed by inputting a number. Regarding the point of inputting a number such as "0000", for example, even when inputting the same four-digit number, while inputting the number determined for each song by memorizing or watching the display, A simple request operation is realized by setting a very simple four-digit value of "0000".

In the above embodiment, the CM reservation key 10
Although the reservation can be made by using either the music number key 10b or the music number key 10b, the reservation may be made by using only one of them. As described above, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments at all, and can be implemented in various modes without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the background information and the lyrics telop during the karaoke performance are displayed by the set of the video reproducing device 24 and the CRT 26, and the CM information and the CM related information are displayed. Although the CM information was output while the background video or the like during karaoke performance was not output, two output systems were provided, and the CM information was displayed on a CRT different from the CRT that outputs the main information. You may make it. By doing so, it is possible to output the CM information while outputting the background video at the time of the karaoke performance, which is the main information.

In this embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a karaoke apparatus has been described. However, the application destination of the request type information providing apparatus is not limited to a karaoke apparatus which outputs karaoke performance as main information. This is possible in various information providing devices in the future multimedia society, such as a device for providing video information output as information.
