Description

  The present invention relates to a system mainly including a predetermined karaoke performance device installed in a karaoke room and an interphone used for a call with a user of the karaoke room.

  In recent years, karaoke has become a popular pastime regardless of age or gender, and recently, karaoke stores with numerous karaoke rooms are spreading nationwide. Usually, in each karaoke room, an interphone for use in a call between a room user and a person in charge at the front of the store is installed. The interphone is the same as a general one that has been widely used for home use in the past, and it has not been conceived so far that a special function is added to the karaoke room. Nevertheless, Patent Document 1 discloses an interphone that automatically flashes light when calling and makes the user aware of the call because the ringing tone is difficult to hear during performance in a karaoke room.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-54343

  However, even if the call is noticed, it is difficult for the user to hear the call if the user is playing in the karaoke room. Conventionally, some intercoms installed in a karaoke room have a function to manually adjust the volume of the audio output. If it is not readjusted, it will sound inadvertently loud when not playing this time, which is very inconvenient.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, that is, when a karaoke room user uses an interphone, the karaoke performance device installed in the room is playing or not playing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a system that can easily listen to a call regardless of whether or not the performance is performed.

In view of the above problems, the present inventor mainly operates a predetermined karaoke performance device installed in a karaoke room and an interphone for use in a call with the user of the karaoke room, and the operation of the karaoke performance device. Based on the status, the type of whether or not the performance is being performed is determined in real time, and based on the respective type signals, the interphone is more relative when the karaoke performance device is performing during a call than when not performing. The present inventors have found that the above problem can be solved by providing a system for automatically adjusting the volume to a high level, and have come up with the karaoke room intercom system of the present invention.

That is, the karaoke room interphone system of the present invention is a system mainly composed of a predetermined karaoke performance device installed in the karaoke room and an interphone used for a call with the user of the karaoke room. And
(A) The karaoke performance device
Based on the operating state of the karaoke performance device, action type determination means for determining in real time the type of whether or not the karaoke music is being played,
A type signal transmitting means for continuously transmitting the determined type signal;
(B) The interphone is
Volume adjustment means that can adjust the volume of the audio output;
A type signal receiving means for receiving a type signal from the type signal transmitting means,
The sound volume adjusting means automatically adjusts the sound volume to be relatively higher when performing a call based on the type signal received from the type signal receiving means during a performance than when not performing. .

According to the karaoke room interphone system of the present invention, based on the operation state of the karaoke performance device, it determines whether or not the playing type in real time, interphone is, during a call, when karaoke performance device is playing Since the sound volume is automatically adjusted to be relatively higher than when it is not being played, there is an effect that the user is not troubled and the call can always be easily heard regardless of whether or not the performance is performed.

  Hereinafter, the karaoke room interphone system of the present invention will be described with reference to a preferred embodiment. First, the main configuration diagram of the karaoke performance apparatus according to the system of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. Each functional means in the present invention will be described in detail with reference to a conceptual diagram of a method for determining whether or not a performance is being performed and a block diagram related to the system of the present invention shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the karaoke performance apparatus (P) of the present invention has almost the same basic mechanism as a conventional performance apparatus. For example, the central control means (11) performs overall control of the entire system, and includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, etc., and various peripheral devices are connected thereto. Specifically, a hard disk device (12) as a large-capacity storage means, an optical disk reproducing means (16) such as a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM, an ADSL line, an ISDN line, or an optical communication line, and a karaoke host device. Communication control means (14) for performing communication, user interface (13) for exchanging inputs from the user and responses to the user, music performance data such as MIDI format and MP3 format Music generating means (15) for generating an acoustic signal of karaoke accompaniment music based on the above, and an acoustic control means for amplifying an acoustic signal from karaoke accompaniment music or a karaoke microphone (M) and emitting it from the speaker (S) (18) A display control unit for processing data to be displayed on a display (D) using a CRT, LCD, PDP or the like (17), and the like.

  In addition, the user interface (13) includes an operation panel of the performance device main body and a karaoke remote control device. Further, a recent remote control device has a function for identifying a user ID and a short communication capable of bidirectional communication. Some have a distance wireless communication function. When receiving the reserved performance command from the user interface (13), the central control means (11) registers these in the queue in the order in which the music ID codes included in the signal are received. Then, the music ID codes are extracted from the queue in the order of registration, and the corresponding music performance data is sequentially subjected to performance processing.

  A karaoke database is constructed in the hard disk device (12), and karaoke data corresponding to each song ID code (12a) for each karaoke song is stored. The karaoke data specifically refers to music performance data (12b) that is the origin of karaoke accompaniment music expressed by MIDI data, ADPCM data, etc., and lyrics for displaying lyrics subtitles synchronized with karaoke accompaniment music. Subtitle data (12c), and further, a data group such as background video data (12d) to be displayed as the background of the lyrics subtitle during the karaoke accompaniment music output period.

And as a functional means related to the system of the present invention, based on the operating state of the karaoke performance device (P), an action type determining means (2) for determining in real time the type of whether or not the karaoke music is being played, Type signal transmitting means (3) for continuously transmitting each type signal to a predetermined interphone (F) is provided. Here, the action type determining means (2) will be described in detail based on the conceptual diagram of the method for determining whether or not the performance is being performed as shown in FIG.

  In the present invention, the criteria for determining whether or not the performance is being performed is not particularly limited as long as it can be confirmed whether or not the performance operation has been started. For example, in this embodiment, in addition to determining that there is no performance reservation music in the reservation queue including the music currently being played, it is determined that the performance reservation is not being performed, and even if there is a performance reservation, the music performance data The initial setting parameters (setup data) included in the are sent to the sound source, and it is determined that the operation state from the initial setting to the start of performance is also not being performed. Specifically, as shown in (a), between the performance songs, for example, the performance of the A song is finished, and the initial setting parameters included in the music performance data of the B song are sent to the sound source and initialized. It is also determined that the operation state from the time point to the start of the performance of the B song is not being performed. Then, it is determined that a state other than the non-performance is being performed.

  Next, the system (1) shown in FIG. First, when the user picks up the handset (not shown) and the hook switch (9) is hooked off, the state shifts from the calling state to the talking state, and the CPU (8) receives the receiver amplifier (6) and the microphone amplifier (not shown). ) And the type signal receiving means (4) is activated. The type signal receiving means (3) receives from the type signal transmitting means (3) the type signal transmitted in real time from the action type judging means (2) on the karaoke performance device (P) side, and based on this type signal. The volume adjusting means (5) automatically adjusts the receiver amplifier (6) so that the volume of the receiver amplifier (6) is relatively higher when the performance is being performed than when the performance is not being performed. Sounded. Normally, the volume when not playing is set to a predetermined default, and the volume when playing is set to a predetermined value higher than this, and the volume change to each is adjusted using the digital volume mechanism. To do.

  Hereinafter, the operation procedure of each functional unit based on the system of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart relating to the system of the present invention shown in FIG.

  First, when the interphone receives a ringing tone and the user picks up the handset, the call connection is confirmed (S1). Then, the CPU of the interphone causes the type signal receiving means to receive the identification signal transmitted at that time (S2). Then, the identification signal receiving means that has received the identification signal sends this identification signal to the volume adjusting means (S3). When receiving the identification signal, the volume adjusting means checks whether or not the identification signal is being played (S4), and if it is being played, adjusts the volume to a predetermined value higher than the default volume ( S5) If not being played, the volume is adjusted to the default volume (S6). Then, depending on whether or not the call is disconnected (S7), in the connected state, the same processing is repeated even if the transmitted identification signal changes during the call, and the process ends when the connection is disconnected. .

As described above in detail, according to the karaoke room interphone system of the present invention, based on the operating state of the karaoke performance device, the type of whether or not the performance is being performed is determined in real time . When the karaoke performance device is playing, the volume is automatically adjusted to be relatively higher than when it is not playing. Easy to do.
