Description

  The present invention relates to a karaoke system comprising a karaoke apparatus and a management server that are communicably connected to each other, and a terminal apparatus that is capable of wirelessly communicating with at least the karaoke apparatus.

  In recent years, a karaoke system is configured by a karaoke device and a management server that are communicably connected to each other, and a user-related information (singing history, karaoke history such as past scoring results) relating to a user who uses the karaoke device is a management server. Service that allows the user's karaoke history to be reflected in the next karaoke singing by providing the user management information managed on the management server side to the karaoke device side. .

  The provision of such a service is realized by constructing the following system. When a user logs in to the management server from the karaoke device with the user identification information assigned to the user, the session after the login (the session here refers to the management server during the logout from the login) Information on the usage status of the karaoke device (song song name and its scoring value, etc.) is managed on the management server side as user related information of the user, and the user logs in next time. In this system, user management information managed on the server side is provided to the karaoke apparatus side related to the login.

  Specifically, when a user who logs in to the management server from the karaoke device with the user identification information and uses the karaoke device ends use of the karaoke device, the user identification information is accompanied from the karaoke device to the management device. Log out. When the logout also releases the session between the karaoke device and the management server, the karaoke device manages the user-related information updated by using the karaoke device between login and logout from the karaoke device. Transfer to server. On the management server side, the user identification information and the user related information are stored in association with each other, and when the user logs in with the user identification information from another karaoke device next time, the management server changes the user identification information. The corresponding user-related information is correctly provided to the karaoke device to which the user has logged in.

  This system is configured to store information related to the usage status of the karaoke apparatus in the same session as user related information related to the user who has logged in prior to the session. When you finish using the device, you must log out to release the session.

However, in practice, a user who uses a computer (a karaoke apparatus) as an amusement in a karaoke room, snack, bar, etc. in a karaoke box uses the computer as a job to log in and log out of the karaoke system using the computer. Unlike users who log in to the computer system and log out, they often enjoy karaoke by operating the computer while drinking alcohol. If you drink during karaoke singing, you can log in to the management server normally. Even users who have been able to do so are intoxicated by the time they log out, and there are cases where they return home from a karaoke box or the like without ending the use of the karaoke device without performing an operation for logout. Sessions between karaoke devices continue Left to become. In this case, when another user who visits the karaoke box after that sings with the karaoke device, information related to another user (song song name, scoring value, etc.) is included in the user related information of the user who has been used previously. There is a problem that the user-related information becomes inaccurate because it is reflected.

  In addition, services for which karaoke is charged according to the usage status of the user may be charged according to usage time. By setting the time during which the user is not operating the karaoke device as a time-out period, even if the user logs out, the session will continue during that time. Does not accumulate correctly. In addition, since billing information (such as a credit card number) is often included in the user-related information for the billing, there is a possibility that the billing information may be altered and not stored correctly by another user before logging out. When a situation in which the user has finished using the karaoke device (such as leaving the karaoke box) is detected, the user can immediately log out to terminate the use of the karaoke device and terminate the session. Accumulation may be considered from the viewpoint of the accuracy of the accumulated and recorded information. Here, “accumulated correctly” also means that the security of the karaoke system is maintained.

  For such problems, it is determined by some means that the user has ended the use of the karaoke device in a karaoke box or the like, and when the end of the use is detected, the karaoke device automatically logs out. It is conceivable to configure so as to perform processing for this purpose.

  Here, as a means for specifying that the use of the karaoke device is ended, for example, assuming that the user possesses a terminal device such as a mobile phone capable of wireless communication with the karaoke device, this terminal A means for monitoring the state of wireless communication with the apparatus on the karaoke apparatus side can be considered.

  When the user finishes using the karaoke device, the user moves away from the karaoke device together with the terminal device. At this time, if the user is out of the communication range capable of wireless communication with the karaoke device, the karaoke device and the terminal device are used. Will not communicate properly.

  Therefore, the karaoke device can detect that the wireless communication state has changed with the terminal device in this way as the user has finished using the karaoke device, and automatically detects logout with this detection. It can also be said that processing is performed.

  In this case, the karaoke device needs to monitor only the wireless communication state with the terminal device owned by the logged-in user in order to appropriately perform automatic logout. However, on the karaoke device side, since there is no way to identify whether the terminal device of the user who has performed the login operation is a terminal device capable of wireless communication, a user other than the logged-in user Since there is a risk that the logout process may be erroneously performed based on the terminal device that the user owns, the user-related information is not correctly stored for the user.

  In addition, since there are many users who do not change the user identification information (user ID, password, etc.) used for login, the wireless communication is intercepted and intercepted by others, and the user identification information is used by others. When the singing is performed and graded, the user-related information is modified, so that the correctness of the user-related information (karaoke history) is lost for a legitimate user.

Therefore, in order to identify which terminal device of the user who has performed the login operation is a terminal device that can communicate with the user, communication using identification information is realized using the following technology. Can be considered.

  Among the two devices capable of wireless communication, the other device that has received access from one device generates identification information (PIN) in response to the access, and transmits this to one device. This is a technique for providing communication between two parties based on this identification information (see Patent Document 1).

  When this technology is applied to the karaoke device and the terminal device described above, the karaoke device that first receives access from the terminal device after login can generate and provide identification information to the terminal device. Even if the three parties eavesdrop on the identification information, since the identification information is not constant, the security level is the same every time, and the wireless communication state with the terminal device based on the identification information can be monitored.

Therefore, the user who has performed the login operation from the terminal devices capable of wireless communication by the user accessing the karaoke device by the terminal device possessed by the user immediately after the login operation. The terminal device can be reliably identified, the wireless communication state with the terminal device can be monitored, and the logout process can be automatically performed.
JP 2005-174327 A

  However, in the above configuration, if the user does not access the karaoke device by the terminal device immediately after the login operation, the wrong terminal device may be identified as the terminal device of the user who has performed the login operation. Get higher. Therefore, even if the above configuration is adopted, there is no fear that the logout process may be erroneously performed based on a terminal device owned by a user other than the logged-in user.

  As described above, with the conventional technology alone, after the user performs an operation for login, the wireless communication state with the terminal device possessed by the user cannot be monitored without fail. As a result of detecting the state in which the use of the user has been terminated, the user cannot be automatically logged out, and it has not been possible for the logged-in user to correctly accumulate user-related information.

  The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and the purpose of the present invention is to always allow the use of a karaoke device at the same security level when the user starts karaoke with a logged-in karaoke device. Even if the user forgets to end the use of the karaoke device due to logout, the user automatically logs out when the use of the karaoke device is ended, and user-related information corresponding to the logged-in user is obtained from the karaoke device. It is to provide a technique for making user-related information such as karaoke history and billing accurate by accumulating correctly in a management server.

In order to solve the above problems, a karaoke system according to a first configuration includes a karaoke apparatus and a management server that are communicably connected to each other, and a terminal apparatus that is capable of wirelessly communicating with at least the karaoke apparatus.

Among these, the karaoke apparatus includes an input receiving unit that receives input of user identification information assigned to the user itself, and a login request accompanied by the user identification information based on the user identification information received by the input receiving unit. To the management server to establish a session based on the user identification information with the management server, and from the management server that has received the login request transmitted by the session establishment means Same as the terminal identification information registered by the corresponding registration means from the terminal device, the corresponding registration means for registering the terminal identification information to be notified and the user identification information received by the input receiving means in association with each other A terminal access check that checks whether there is access via wireless communication with the terminal identification information And the continuity monitoring means for monitoring that the wireless communication with the terminal device that is the access source is continued after it is determined that the access has been made by the terminal access determination means, and the continuity monitoring means. Logout request for requesting release of a session based on the user identification information associated with the terminal identification information associated with the access of the terminal device when wireless communication with the terminal device is terminated Session release means for releasing the session by sending the management server to the management server, and in the session established by the session establishment means, user-related information related to the user of the user identification information in the session It is configured to communicate with.

  In addition, when the management server receives a login request with the user identification information from the karaoke device, a session established means for establishing a session based on the user identification information with the karaoke device, and the session Of the data table in which the user identification information and the unique terminal identification information generated based on the user identification information are registered in association with each other when the session is established by the established means, The terminal identification information notifying means for notifying the corresponding terminal identification information to the karaoke apparatus that has transmitted the login request at the time of establishment of the session, and after the session is established by the session established means, the logout request is If the logout request is received, Session released means for releasing the requested session, and in the session established by the session established means, user-related information regarding the user of the identification information in the session is exchanged with the karaoke device It is configured.

And the said terminal device is provided with the 1st access means which performs the access by radio | wireless communication with respect to the said karaoke apparatus based on the said terminal identification information.
In the karaoke system configured as described above, the karaoke device that has received the user identification information from the user establishes a session with the management server based on the user identification information. Login with the management server via the server is realized. Thus, when a session is established between the karaoke device and the management server, the management server notifies the karaoke device of terminal identification information corresponding to the user identification information.

  The karaoke apparatus registers the terminal identification information notified in this way and the user identification information in the session in association with each other, and thereafter checks whether there is an access from the terminal apparatus with the terminal identification information. Then, after there is an access from the terminal device with the registered terminal identification information, monitoring of the communication state with the terminal device is started.

  Here, since the terminal identification information registered on the karaoke device side is a unique information notified from the management server as corresponding to the user identification information received by the karaoke device itself, the karaoke device indicates the communication state. Only the terminal device that can access the karaoke device with the terminal identification information corresponding to the user identification information input to the karaoke device is monitored.

Therefore, if the user identification information is assigned to the user and the terminal identification information generated based on the user identification information is provided to the terminal device owned by the user, the karaoke device side inputs the user identification information. After receiving, only the terminal device that has been accessed with the terminal identification information corresponding to the user identification information can be definitely recognized as the terminal device possessed by the user, and the communication state can be monitored. .

  Then, after the karaoke device starts monitoring the communication state with the terminal device, the user associated with the terminal identification information associated with the access of the terminal device is detected when the end of communication with the terminal device is detected. The session established based on the identification information can be released.

Thereby, logout with the management server via a karaoke apparatus by a user can be automatically realized without accompanying the user's operation.
As a result, when the user starts using the logged-in karaoke device, the user can always start using the same security level, and even if the user forgets to end the use of the karaoke device by logout, Automatic logout associated with detection is possible. Therefore, user-related information corresponding to the logged-in user can be correctly stored from the karaoke device to the management server, and user-related information such as karaoke history and billing can always be accurate.

  In the above configuration, the karaoke apparatus registers the correspondence relationship between the user identification information and the terminal identification information by the correspondence registration unit. Such a correspondence relationship allows access to the karaoke device with the terminal identification information. It is desirable to register only for a period of time. This is because if the correspondence relationship registered in the karaoke device is leaked due to some factor, inappropriate login to the management server via the karaoke device may be performed.

Thus, in order to register the correspondence relationship only during a period in which access to the karaoke device with terminal identification information can be performed, for example, the following correspondence is provided to the karaoke device in the first configuration. It is conceivable to have a configuration provided with a deleting means.

  As an example of the correspondence deletion unit, for example, when the session is released by the session release unit, the correspondence relationship with the user identification information in the session is deleted from the correspondence relationship registered by the correspondence registration unit. Such a thing can be considered.

  With this configuration, when the session is released, the correspondence relationship between the user identification information and the terminal identification information in the session can be deleted, and hence the management server due to the leakage of the correspondence relationship. Can prevent inappropriate login.

Further, as an example of the correspondence deletion unit, as in the second configuration , when the wireless communication with the terminal device monitored by the continuation monitoring unit is completed, the correspondence relationship registered by the correspondence registration unit is displayed. Of these, the correspondence between the terminal identification information when the terminal device has accessed and the user identification information corresponding to the terminal identification information may be deleted.

  With this configuration, since the correspondence relationship between the terminal identification information and the user identification information associated with the access to the terminal device can be deleted at the time when the wireless communication with the terminal device is completed, the correspondence relationship is hereinafter referred to. Can prevent inappropriate login to the management server.

In the above configuration, the karaoke device accumulates information on the usage status of the karaoke device in the session established with the management server in the storage unit as user-related information on the user usage status. Such user-related information is preferably stored only during the session. This is because if the user-related information is stored in the karaoke device, the user-related information may be viewed by another user who uses the karaoke device.

Thus, in order to store the user-related information only during the session, for example, the karaoke apparatus in the first and second configurations is provided with the following information erasing means. Can be considered.

  As an example of this information erasure means, for example, when the session is released by the session release means, among the user related information stored in the storage unit, the user related information in the session is deleted. Things can be considered.

  With this configuration, when the session is released, the user-related information during the session can be erased, so that the user-related information is subsequently viewed by another user who uses the karaoke device. Can be prevented.

In addition, as an example of the information erasure unit, as in the third configuration , when the wireless communication with the terminal device monitored by the continuation monitoring unit is completed, the user relation stored in the storage unit Of the information, it is also possible to delete user-related information in a session established based on user identification information associated with terminal identification information associated with access to the terminal device.

  If comprised in this way, when the wireless communication with a terminal device is complete | finished, since the user relevant information in an applicable session can be erase | eliminated, hereafter, the user relevant information will be given to another user who uses the karaoke apparatus. It is possible to prevent browsing.

  Moreover, what is necessary is just to comprise the terminal access determination means with which the karaoke apparatus mentioned above is provided so that the presence or absence of the access from a terminal device may be always checked. However, the presence or absence of access from the terminal device is checked because it is necessary to monitor the communication status with the terminal device and perform automatic logout. There is no need to check for access. Specifically, before the session with the management server is established, there is no request for automatic logout, so it is not necessary to check whether there is access during such a period.

Therefore, the terminal access determination means of the karaoke apparatus in each of the above configurations checks whether there is access from the terminal device after the session with the management server is established as in the fourth configuration. It may be configured to start.

If comprised in this way, when there is no need, the presence or absence of access will not be checked, As a result, the processing burden with respect to a karaoke apparatus can be reduced.
By the way, in each structure mentioned above, in order to provide a user with the terminal identification information corresponding to user identification information, the management server in each said structure should just be made into a 5th structure .

Specifically, in response to an access from the user of the terminal device, user identification information acquisition means for acquiring user identification information assigned to the user, and user identification information acquired by the user identification information acquisition means Based on identification information generating means for generating unique terminal identification information corresponding to the user identification information, user identification information acquired by the user identification information acquisition means, and generated by the identification information generation means A table registration unit that associates terminal identification information with the data table and registers the terminal identification information generated by the identification information generation unit with respect to the access source that has acquired the user identification information by the user identification information acquisition unit. Terminal identification information providing means to provide.

  If comprised in this way, after a management server acquires user identification information from the user of a terminal device, this is matched with the terminal identification information produced | generated based on this, and it registers in the data table, Then, the terminal Identification information can be provided to the user.

  In this configuration, the user identification information acquisition means is means for acquiring user identification information upon receiving an access from the user of the terminal device, and a specific configuration for acquiring the user identification information is not particularly limited. For example, when an access is received through another terminal device that can communicate with the management server (including one that does not constitute the karaoke system), user identification information is requested from the terminal device with the access device. A configuration is conceivable in which user identification information transmitted in response to this request is acquired.

  Further, if the terminal identification information providing means receives access from another terminal device that can communicate with the management server, the terminal identification information providing means should transmit the terminal identification information to the terminal device of the access source. Good.

  In addition, when transmitting terminal identification information to a terminal device in this way, only the terminal identification information may be transmitted as it is, but it is possible to easily access the karaoke device with the terminal identification information. It is advisable to send a program for doing this together.

  For this purpose, for example, in the management server, the terminal identification information providing means may be configured to provide a program for realizing the function as the first access means together with the terminal identification information.

  In this configuration, when the user of the terminal device incorporates and starts the program provided from the management server in the terminal device, the terminal device can implement access to the karaoke device by the first access means. It becomes a state.

  In this way, the user installs the program provided from the management server in the terminal device that the user has and starts the terminal device in the karaoke system without preparing a separate dedicated terminal device. It becomes possible to function as a device.

As described above, the management server, upon receiving an access from the terminal apparatus, if it is configured to transmit the terminal identification information to the terminal device, first shows a terminal device, then The configuration of 7 is preferable.

  Specifically, information input means for allowing the user of the terminal device to input the user identification information, second access means for accessing the management server with the user identification information input by the information input means, Terminal access information acquisition means for acquiring the terminal identification information provided from the management server after the second access means is accessed to the management server, the first access means comprising: The karaoke apparatus is accessed by wireless communication based on the terminal identification information acquired by the terminal identification information acquisition means.

  If comprised in this way, a terminal device will acquire the terminal identification information provided from this management server, after handing the user identification information which the user input to the management server, and based on this terminal identification information The karaoke device can be accessed.

Further, in this configuration, as in the eighth configuration, the terminal device includes a terminal identification information storage unit that stores the terminal identification information acquired by the terminal identification information acquisition unit in a storage unit, and the first access unit Is configured to access the karaoke device by wireless communication based on the terminal identification information stored in the storage unit by the terminal identification information storage unit, and further by the first access unit. It is preferable to include a terminal identification information deleting unit that deletes the terminal identification information stored in the storage unit by the terminal identification information storage unit when access to the karaoke apparatus is not performed.

  If comprised in this way, a terminal device will delete the terminal identification information memorize | stored in the memory | storage part, when access to a karaoke apparatus becomes impossible. Here, when the terminal device cannot access the karaoke device, the user who owns the terminal device leaves the karaoke device by terminating the use of the karaoke device. This means that you are out of the vicinity.

  After this situation has occurred, it is not necessary to store the terminal identification information on the terminal device side. Therefore, by deleting the terminal identification information when such a situation occurs, the storage of the terminal device is performed. Unnecessary information can be deleted from the section, and the storage area can be used effectively.

  Further, as described above, each time the management server acquires user identification information from the user, the management server registers the user identification information and corresponding terminal identification information in the data table, and provides the terminal identification information to the user. Is configured to do. Each information registered in such a data table may be left registered unless it is intentionally deleted thereafter.

  However, since the user identification information and terminal identification information registered in this data table are exchanged between the management server and the karaoke apparatus during the session established between them, they are leaked for some reason. There is no denying the possibility. Leakage of such information is not preferable for safety because it may cause inappropriate use of the karaoke system.

Therefore, the information registered in the data table may be configured to be deleted at a timing when a predetermined condition is satisfied from the viewpoint of safety.
As this condition, for example, it can be considered that a session based on information registered in the data table is released.

In order to adopt such a condition, when the session is released by the session-released means as in the ninth configuration , the management server according to any of the fifth to eighth configurations is Of the correspondences registered in the data table, a table deletion means for deleting the user identification information in the session and the terminal identification information corresponding to the user identification information may be provided.

  If comprised in this way, when the session with a karaoke apparatus will be released, the management server will delete the user identification information in the session and the terminal identification information corresponding thereto from the correspondence registered in the data table. can do. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the corresponding user identification information and terminal identification information from leaking after the session is released.

Further, as another configuration for solving the above problem, the following can be considered.
For example, a karaoke apparatus including all the means included in the karaoke apparatus according to any one of the first to ninth configurations is conceivable. This is because a part of the karaoke system according to any one of the first to ninth configurations can be configured.

A management server provided with all the means provided in the management server according to any of the fifth to ninth configurations is conceivable. This is because a part of the karaoke system according to any of the fifth to ninth configurations can be configured.

A program for causing a computer system to execute various processing procedures for causing the karaoke apparatus according to any one of the first to ninth configurations to function as all means is conceivable. This is because a computer system controlled in this way can constitute a part of the karaoke system according to any one of the first to ninth configurations.

And the program for making a computer system perform the various process procedures for functioning as all the means with which the management server which concerns on the structure in any one of 5th to 9th is considered can be considered. This is because a computer system controlled in this way can constitute a part of the karaoke system according to any of the fifth to ninth configurations.

  Each program described above is composed of an ordered sequence of instructions suitable for processing by a computer system, and includes a karaoke apparatus, a management server, and a user who uses this through various recording media and communication lines. Is provided.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
(1) Overall Configuration As shown in FIG. 1, the karaoke system 1 includes a karaoke device 2 and a management server 3 that can communicate with each other via a network 100, and a terminal device 4 that can wirelessly communicate with at least the karaoke device 2. Become. In the present embodiment, a mobile phone is used as the terminal device 4.

  The karaoke device 2 stores a control unit 12 for controlling the operation of the karaoke device 2 as a whole, an interface unit 14 for connecting the karaoke device 2 to the network 100, accompaniment content of performance music and music data or video data indicating lyrics. Storage unit 16, a wireless communication unit 18 that controls communication based on a predetermined wireless communication standard (in this embodiment, Bluetooth (registered trademark) standard; the same applies hereinafter), a display unit 20 that displays various images, An operation unit 22 including a key switch and the like, and a voice input / output unit 28 for controlling voice input from the microphone 24 and voice output from the speaker 26 are provided.

  The management server 3 is a known server including a control unit 32 that controls the operation of the entire management server 3, an interface unit 34 for connecting the management server 3 to the network 100, a storage unit 36 for storing various information, and the like. Device.

The terminal device 4 connects a control unit 42 that controls the operation of the entire terminal device 4, the terminal device 4 to the network 100 via a relay device (hereinafter referred to as a relay device) 200 of a mobile phone network, and a wireless communication standard for a predetermined mobile phone. A communication unit 44a for controlling communication based on Bluetooth, a communication unit 44b for controlling communication based on the Bluetooth (registered trademark) standard, a display unit 46 for displaying various information, an operation unit 48 including a plurality of key switches, and various information. This is a well-known portable information terminal (for example, a Bluetooth (registered trademark) built-in portable telephone terminal) provided with a storage unit 49 for storing.
(2) Operation by Karaoke System 1 The operation of the karaoke system 1 having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to FIG.

  In this karaoke system 1, when a registration request is transmitted from the terminal device 4 to the management server 3 via the relay device 200 to the management server 3 using the communication unit 44a (see a in FIG. 2), the registration request is transmitted. The received management server 3 transmits a registration page, which is a web page for user registration, to the terminal device 4 (see b in the figure).

  Note that this communication may be performed by the management server 3 using a content providing service (for example, i-mode (registered trademark), EZweb (registered trademark), etc.) by packet communication via the mobile phone network. If the portable terminal is PHS (trademark) or the like, it may be implemented by download communication using the ftp (File Transfer Protocol) protocol by PHS data communication.

  When the user of the terminal device 4 that has received this registration page inputs a login ID and password to the registration page and then performs an operation for transmitting it to the management server 3 (see c in the figure), these logins The ID and password are transmitted to the management server 3 as user identification information (see d in the figure).

  The management server 3 that has received the user identification information generates terminal identification information (PIN: Personal Identification Number) used for communication between the karaoke apparatus 2 and the terminal apparatus 4 as described later (see e in the figure). Is registered in the data table (correspondence table) in association with the user identification information (see f in the figure). At this point, the association between the terminal identification information (PIN) and the user identification information is completed.

  After registration in the correspondence table in this manner, the management server 3 transmits terminal identification information related to the registration and a dedicated application program (hereinafter simply referred to as “dedicated application”) to the terminal device 4. (See g in the figure). The dedicated application is installed in the terminal device 4 and is activated in response to a user operation (see h in the figure). Thereafter, the mobile terminal 4 attempts to start Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication via the communication unit 44b for access to the karaoke apparatus 2 based on the terminal identification information by the dedicated application.

  The “dedicated application” referred to here is, for example, if the mobile terminal 4 uses i-mode (registered trademark) and uses the i-appli (registered trademark) and EZweb (registered trademark). It is a so-called Java (registered trademark) application such as an EZ application (registered trademark), and if it is a PHS mobile terminal using Windows (registered trademark) Mobile, it is a program executable from Windows (registered trademark) Mobile. .

  Thereafter, when the user who has started using the karaoke apparatus 2 inputs a login ID and password from the operation unit 22 via the karaoke apparatus 2 (see i in FIG. 5), the login ID and password are used as a login request as a karaoke. The data is transmitted from the device 2 to the management server 3 (see j in the figure).

  Upon receiving this login request, the management server 3 performs authentication based on the login ID and password, and if authentication is successful, the authentication result and the terminal identification information corresponding to the login ID are sequentially displayed in the karaoke apparatus. 2 (see k and l in the figure).

  In this way, when the authentication is successful, a session with the login ID is established between the karaoke device 2 and the management server 3, and the user related information corresponding to the user identification information stored in the management device 3 is karaoke. By being sent to the device 2 and temporarily stored in the storage unit 16 of the karaoke device 2, user-related information regarding the usage status of the karaoke device 2 by the logged-in user is exchanged thereafter.

  Thereafter, the karaoke apparatus 2 that has received the terminal identification information corresponding to the login ID uses the identification information as a PIN used for pairing of Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication via the wireless communication unit 18 via Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication. As described above, pairing with the terminal device 4 that is accessed based on the terminal identification information corresponding to the same login ID as described above succeeds, and Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication (hereinafter referred to as “wireless communication”). Is started) (see m in the same figure).

  Thus, after the wireless communication between the karaoke device 2 and the terminal device 4 is started, the user operates the operation unit 22 to input the karaoke song number, sing the karaoke song, and the scoring result is output. Therefore, the user related information regarding the usage status of the karaoke apparatus 2 by the user is also updated. And the installation location of the karaoke apparatus 2 without the user ending the karaoke singing and ending the karaoke apparatus 2 (the operation of requesting logout together with the input operation of the user identification information including at least the user ID) When the user leaves the terminal, the terminal device 4 possessed by the user also moves away from the installation location of the karaoke device 2 together with the user. Thereby, the terminal device 4 comes out of the communication area of the wireless communication with the karaoke device 2.

  Then, when each of the terminal device 4 and the karaoke device 2 detects the interruption of the wireless communication (see n in the figure), the terminal device 4 ends the dedicated application (see o in the same figure), and the karaoke device 2 side Then, a logout request for logging out the user having the user identification information corresponding to the terminal identification information of the blocked wireless communication is transmitted to the management server 3 together with the user identification information and the user related information corresponding to the user (same as above). (See FIG. P).

Upon receiving this logout request, the management server 3 releases the session for the user (see q in the figure).
In FIG. 2, user-related information is sent when the session with the login ID starts, but the user-related information may be sent upon successful pairing. In this case, the user-related information is sent, but immediately after that, when the pairing is not successful, for example, when the user turns off the power of the terminal device 4, logout cannot be detected. When it is detected that the pairing is not successful after the authentication result from 3 is received, the karaoke apparatus 2 notifies the management server 3 of the pairing failure, and the management server 3 is in the case of the pairing failure. This is because if the user-related information is not sent to the karaoke apparatus 2, the possibility that the user-related information will not be accurate can be further reduced.

Specific processing contents of each device in the karaoke system 1 operating in this way will be described later.
(3) Process by karaoke apparatus 2 Below, the procedure of the process performed by the control part 12 of the karaoke apparatus 2 is demonstrated.
(3-1) Logout Method Selection Processing First, the processing procedure of logout method selection processing will be described with reference to FIG. This logout method selection processing is started by an operation of inputting a login ID and a password via the operation unit 22 (i in FIG. 2) (s102).

After starting up in this way, the login ID and password (user identification information) input at the time of starting up are transmitted as a login request to the management server 3 (FIG. J) (s110). Various information transmitted from the karaoke device 2 to the management server 3 including this login request is transmitted with the serial number of the karaoke device 2 attached, and from any karaoke device 2 based on this serial number. The management server 3 side can specify whether the information is information on the management server 3.

Next, after receiving the authentication result from the management server 3 that has received the login request (k in the figure) (s120), the authentication result is checked (s130).
If the authentication result is “normally authenticated” in s130 (s130: YES), the terminal identification information transmitted from the management server 3 is continuously received (FIG. 1L) (s140). This terminal identification information is transmitted from the management server 3 as corresponding to the user identification information transmitted in s110.

  In this way, by receiving the authentication result that “successfully authenticated”, a session is established between the karaoke device 2 and the management server 3, and thereafter, the use of the karaoke device 2 with the management server 3. Information about the situation will be exchanged.

  Next, the terminal identification information received in s140 and the user identification information transmitted as a login request in s110 are temporarily stored in the storage unit 16 in a state of being associated with each other (s150).

  Next, the presence / absence of access from the terminal device 4 is checked over a predetermined time (s160). If there is an access from the terminal device 4 (s170: YES), the terminal device 4 is in the above-described s150. An attempt is made to realize communication (perform pairing) based on the temporarily stored terminal identification information (s180). Here, if the terminal identification information temporarily stored in s150 and the terminal identification information associated with the access in s170 are the same, communication based on the terminal identification information is realized (see FIG. m).

  If communication based on the corresponding terminal identification information is realized (pairing is performed) in s180 (s180: YES), logout processing for performing logout based on the terminal identification information and the operation on the operation unit 22 is performed. After the (automatic logout process) is activated (s190), the logout method selection process ends.

  On the other hand, if communication based on the corresponding terminal identification information cannot be realized (pairing is performed) in s180 (s180: NO), logout processing (manual logout) for performing logout based only on the operation on the operation unit 22 is performed. Is started (s200), the logout method selection process ends.

If the authentication result is “normal authentication is not possible” in s130 (s130: NO), a message for notifying that is displayed on the display unit 20 (s210), and the process proceeds to s200. To do. Also, in the case where there is no access from the terminal device 4 in s170 (s170: NO), the process shifts to s200.
(3-2) Automatic Logout Process Next, the process procedure of the automatic logout process activated in the logout method selection process will be described with reference to FIG.

In this automatic logout process, first, it is checked whether or not a logout operation for logging out has been performed by the operation unit 22 (s220).
If it is determined in s220 that a logout operation has been performed (s220: YES), a logout request indicating that the session established in s120 should be released is transmitted to the management server 3 (FIG. 2). p) (s230).

  This logout request is sent to the management server 3 together with the user identification information temporarily stored in the above s150 (only the login ID may be used) and the user related information regarding the usage status. Processing to release a session based on user identification information (q in the figure), and processing for adding user-related information related to the transmitted usage status to user-related information related to the usage status corresponding to the user identification information (past Karaoke history is added to this karaoke history).

  Then, in the session established at s120, the user related information regarding the use status of the karaoke device 2 accumulated on the karaoke device 2 side (stored in the storage unit 16) and the user identification information temporarily stored at s150. Then, after the terminal identification information is deleted (s240), the automatic logout process ends.

  If it is determined in s220 that no logout operation has been performed (s220: NO), the state of communication based on the terminal identification information realized in s180 is checked (s250).

  If it is determined in s250 that communication based on the corresponding terminal identification information continues (s250: YES), the process returns to s220, while communication based on the corresponding terminal identification information is completed (same as above). If it is determined (FIG. N) (s250: NO), the process proceeds to s230, and a logout request is transmitted.

In this way, in this automatic logout process, after communication with the terminal device 4 is started, by monitoring the communication state with the terminal device 4, it is determined whether or not the user has finished using the karaoke device 2. It is configured to judge and automatically log out.
(3-3) Manual Logout Processing Next, the processing procedure of manual logout processing activated in logout method selection processing will be described with reference to FIG.

In this manual logout process, first, a standby state is entered until a logout operation is performed by the operation unit 22 (s260).
Thereafter, when it is determined that a logout operation accompanied by an input operation of user identification information by the user has been performed (s260: YES), the user who should release the session established in s120 as in s220 A user logout request corresponding to the identification information is transmitted to the management server 3 together with the user related information of the user (s270).

And the user related information regarding the usage status of the karaoke apparatus 2 accumulated (stored in the storage unit 16) on the karaoke apparatus 2 side in the session established in s120, the user identification information temporarily stored in s150, and After the terminal identification information is deleted (s280), the automatic logout process ends.
(4) Processing by Management Server 3 Hereinafter, a procedure of processing executed by the control unit 32 of the management server 3 will be described.
(4-1) User Registration Process First, after a registration page, which is a web page for user registration, is transmitted to the terminal device 4 (b in FIG. 2) and thereafter (s302), user identification information is received from the terminal device 4. The user registration process started by (d) (s304) will be described with reference to FIG.

When this user registration process is activated, first, the same login ID as the login ID in the user identification information received prior to the activation of this user registration process is registered in the login IDs registered in the correspondence table described above. It is checked whether it is registered (registered) (s310).

  If it is determined in s310 that registration has been completed (s310: YES), a web page (registration refusal page) for notifying that the user cannot be registered with the login ID is transmitted to the terminal device 4 that is the access source. Later (s320), the user registration process ends.

On the other hand, if it is determined in s310 that it has not been registered (s310: NO), unique terminal identification information is generated based on the login ID (s330).
Next, the user identification information (login ID and password) received prior to the activation of the user registration process and the terminal identification information generated in s320 are registered in the correspondence table in association with each other (s340). ).

  And the terminal identification information produced | generated in said s330 and the exclusive application for accessing the karaoke apparatus 2 based on this terminal identification information are transmitted to the terminal device 4 of the access origin (s350). Here, the terminal identification information generated in s330 is embedded in the dedicated application, and these are transmitted as a single data.

Here, the terminal identification information and the dedicated application are configured to be transmitted to the terminal device 4 at the same time. For example, the terminal identification information and an address (URL; Uniform Resource) for downloading the dedicated application are used. Locator) is transmitted, and downloading of the dedicated application may be left to the user's operation.
(3-2) Session Management Process Next, the process procedure of the session management process started when a login request is received from the karaoke apparatus 2 (j in FIG. 2) will be described based on FIG.

  When the session management process is activated, authentication is performed based on the login request received prior to the activation (s410). Here, when the combination of the login ID and the password in the user identification information transmitted as the login request exists in the combination of the login ID and the password registered in the correspondence table, the login request If it is determined that the authentication has been successfully performed based on the login request and the corresponding combination does not exist, the authentication cannot be normally performed based on the login request.

  Next, if the result of authentication by s410 is “normally unable to authenticate” (s420: NO), the authentication result to that effect is transmitted to the karaoke device 2 that is the access source (s430), The session management apparatus ends.

  On the other hand, if the result of authentication in s410 is “normally authenticated” (s420: YES), the authentication result to that effect is transmitted to the karaoke apparatus 2 that is the access source (k in FIG. 2). ) (S440). Thus, a session is established between the karaoke device 2 and the management server 3 by transmitting an authentication result indicating “successfully authenticated”. Will be exchanged.

  Next, based on the user identification information received as a login request prior to the activation of the session management process, the terminal identification information registered in the correspondence table in association with the user identification information is extracted (s450). .

Next, the terminal identification information extracted in s450 is transmitted to the karaoke apparatus 2 that is the access source (FIG. 1L) (s460).
Thereafter, it is checked whether or not a logout request is transmitted together with the user identification information from the karaoke apparatus 2 as the access source (s470).

  If it is determined in s470 that the logout request has not been transmitted (s470: NO), it is checked whether or not the elapsed time after transmitting the authentication result in s440 exceeds the time to be timed out ( If the time has not been exceeded (s480: NO), the process returns to s470.

If it is determined in s470 that a logout request has been transmitted (s470: YES), or if it is determined in s480 that the time to be timed out is exceeded (s480: YES), the above s440 The session corresponding to the user identification information established in (1) is released (q in the figure), and the user related information corresponding to the user identification information is accumulated in addition to the already stored user related information (karaoke (Addition of history) (s490). Then, after the user identification information and the terminal identification information corresponding to the session released in s490 are deleted from the correspondence table (s500), the session management process ends.
(5) Processing by Terminal Device 4 Hereinafter, various processing procedures executed by the control unit 42 of the terminal device 4 will be described.
(5-1) User Registration First, the procedure of the process performed for the above-described user registration will be described with reference to FIG.

  At the time of this user registration, the user performs an operation for starting the web browser after inputting the address of the registration page by the operation unit 48. Thereby, the registration request is transmitted from the terminal device 4 to the management server 3 (a in FIG. 2) (s610). As an operation for inputting the address of this registration page, in addition to an operation directly input by the operation unit 48, an operation such as an operation input by reading a barcode reader via a digital camera (for example, the terminal device 4). If the mobile phone is equipped with a camera-equipped QR code (registered trademark) reading function, the user operates the mobile phone, and a QR code (registered trademark) incorporating data corresponding to the network address on the registration page of the management server 3 is installed. ), And the control means of the mobile phone extracts the address of the registration page and connects to the management server 3).

  Next, a registration page is received from the management server 3 (b in the figure), and this registration page is displayed on the display unit 46 (s620). After the registration page is displayed (see FIG. 9A), the user inputs a login ID and a password through the operation unit 48, and then performs an operation for transmitting it to the management server 3. Become.

  Thus, after the registration page is displayed on the display unit 46, the process waits for an operation for transmitting the login ID and password (s630: NO), and when the operation is performed (s630: YES), the login ID and The password is transmitted as user identification information to the management server 3 (d in FIG. 2) (s640).

  From the management server 3 that has received the user identification information, if the registration into the correspondence table based on the user identification information is normally completed, the terminal identification information and the dedicated application are transmitted (g in the figure). On the other hand, if the registration does not end normally, a registration rejection page indicating that fact is transmitted.

Next, after data is received from the management server 3 that transmitted the user identification information (s650).
The contents of this data are checked (s660).
When the content of the data is registration refusal data in s660 (s660: YES), after the registration refusal page (see FIG. 9B) is displayed on the display unit 46 (s670), the user registration process is performed. finish.

  On the other hand, when the contents of the data are the terminal identification information and the dedicated application in s660 (s660: NO), the terminal identification information and the dedicated application are stored in the storage unit 49 (s662), and then the dedicated application is activated. Is displayed on the display unit 46 (s680). As shown in FIG. 9C, this activation page is for allowing the user to select whether or not to activate the dedicated application.

  Then, if an operation to activate the dedicated application is performed based on the activation page displayed in s680 (s690: YES), the dedicated application is activated (h in FIG. 2). ) (S700), the user registration is completed.

On the other hand, if an operation for not starting the dedicated application is performed (s690: NO), the user registration ends without performing s700. In the latter case, the user separately performs an operation for starting the dedicated application when starting to use the karaoke apparatus 2.
(5-2) Process by Dedicated Application Next, the procedure of the process performed by the above-described dedicated application will be described with reference to FIG.

When this dedicated application is activated, repeated access is attempted until access to the karaoke apparatus 2 is successful (s710: NO).
Thereafter, when access to the karaoke device 2 is successful (s710: YES), communication with the karaoke device 2 based on the terminal identification information stored in s662 (execution of pairing) is attempted. (S720). Here, if the terminal identification information stored in s662 is the same as the terminal identification information associated with the access in s710, communication based on the terminal identification information is realized.

  If communication based on the corresponding terminal identification information is realized (pairing is performed) in s720 (s720: YES), the communication state based on the terminal identification information realized here is checked (s730).

While it is determined in s730 that the communication based on the corresponding terminal identification information is continued, the communication based on the corresponding terminal identification information is ended after the state of the repeated communication is checked (s730: YES). If it is determined (n in FIG. 2) (s730: NO), after the terminal identification information stored in s662 is deleted (s740), the dedicated application ends (o in FIG. 2).
(6) Action and Effect In the karaoke system 1 configured as described above, the karaoke device 2 that has received the input of the user identification information from the user (i in FIG. 2) is connected to the management server 3 based on the user identification information. (J, k in the figure), and thereby the user can log in to the management server 3 via the karaoke device 2. Thus, when a session is established between the karaoke device 2 and the management server 3, the management server 3 notifies the karaoke device 2 of terminal identification information corresponding to the user identification information (FIG. 1L).

The karaoke device 2 registers the terminal identification information thus notified and the user identification information in the session in association with each other, and thereafter checks whether there is an access from the terminal device 4 accompanied with the terminal identification information. (S170 to s180 in FIG. 3). Then, after there is an access from the terminal device with the registered terminal identification information, monitoring of the communication state with the terminal device 4 is started (s230 in FIG. 4).

  Here, the terminal identification information registered on the karaoke apparatus 2 side is unique information notified from the management server 3 as corresponding to the user identification information received by the karaoke apparatus 2 itself (a in FIG. 2). ~ F). Therefore, the karaoke device 2 monitors the communication state only for the terminal device 4 that can access the karaoke device 2 with the terminal identification information corresponding to the user identification information input to the karaoke device 2.

  Therefore, the terminal identification information generated based on the user identification information input by the user is provided to the terminal device 4 possessed by the user (g in FIG. 2). With the above configuration, the user identification is performed on the karaoke device 2 side. After receiving the input of information, only the terminal device 4 that has been accessed with the terminal identification information corresponding to the user identification information is definitely recognized as the terminal device 4 possessed by the user, and its communication state Can be monitored.

  When the karaoke device 2 starts monitoring the communication state with the terminal device 4 and then detects the end of communication with the terminal device 4 (s250 “NO” in FIG. 4), the karaoke device 2 accesses the terminal device 4. The session established based on the user identification information associated with the terminal identification information associated with is released (s240 in FIG. 4, p in FIG. 2).

Thereby, logout with the management server 3 via the karaoke apparatus 2 by a user can be automatically realized without the user's operation.
As a result, when the user starts using the logged-in karaoke device 2, the user can always start using the same security level, and even if the user forgets to end the use of the karaoke device 2 by logout, the use is ended. It is possible to automatically log out when a state is detected. Therefore, user-related information corresponding to the logged-in user can be correctly stored from the karaoke device to the management server, and user-related information such as karaoke history and billing can always be accurate.

  Moreover, the karaoke apparatus 2 in the said embodiment is deleting the user identification information and terminal identification information in the session (s240 of FIG. 4, s270 of FIG. 5) at the time of releasing a session (FIG. 4). s250, s280 in FIG. 5). Therefore, it is possible to prevent an inappropriate login to the management server 3 via the karaoke device 2 due to leakage of the information stored in the karaoke device 2 for some reason. it can.

  The karaoke device 2 in the above embodiment is information accumulated in the storage unit 16 in the session when the session is released (s240 in FIG. 4 and s270 in FIG. 5), and the use of the karaoke device 2 The user related information indicating the situation is also deleted (s250 in FIG. 4 and s280 in FIG. 5). Thus, since the user related information in the session can be erased when the session is released, the user related information is browsed by another user who uses the karaoke device 2 thereafter. Can be prevented.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the karaoke apparatus 2 is comprised so that the presence or absence of the access from the terminal device 4 may be started after the session between the management servers 3 is established (s120 of FIG. 3). (S160 in the figure).

  Here, the reason for checking the presence / absence of access from the terminal device 4 is that it is necessary to monitor the communication state with the terminal device 4 and perform automatic logout (s250 in FIG. 4). There is no need to check for access until there is no need to log out automatically. Specifically, before the session with the management server 3 is established, there is no request for automatic logout, so it is not necessary to check whether there is access during such a period.

  For this reason, as described above, when a session with the management server 3 is established (s120 in FIG. 3), if the configuration starts to check whether there is access from the terminal device 4, it is unnecessary. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the processing load on the karaoke apparatus.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the management server 3 acquires user identification information from the user of the terminal device 4 (d of FIG. 2), and matches this with the terminal identification information produced | generated based on this, a data table (Figure e, f), the terminal identification information can be provided to the user side (fig. G).

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, when providing terminal identification information from the management server 3 to the terminal device 4, a dedicated application is provided together (g of FIG. 2). On the terminal device 4 side, the user can access the karaoke device 2 based on the terminal identification information by installing the dedicated application in the terminal device 4 and starting it (h in FIG. 2). It becomes.

  In this way, the user installs the dedicated application provided from the management server in the terminal device 4 possessed by the user, and activates the terminal device 4 without using a separate dedicated terminal device. It can function as a terminal device in the system 1.

  In the above embodiment, the terminal device 4 obtains the terminal identification information provided from the management server 3 after passing the user identification information input by the user to the management server 3 (d in FIG. 2). (G in the figure), the karaoke apparatus 2 can be accessed based on the terminal identification information (m in the figure).

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, when it becomes impossible to access the karaoke apparatus 2 (s740 of FIG. 10), the terminal device 4 deletes the terminal identification information memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 49 (s740 of the same figure). Here, the situation in which the terminal device 4 cannot access the karaoke device 2 is that the user who owns the terminal device 4 leaves the karaoke device 2 by terminating the use of the karaoke device 2 or the like. 4 means that the karaoke apparatus 2 is out of the communication range.

  After such a situation, it is not necessary to store the terminal identification information on the terminal device 4 side. Therefore, by deleting the terminal identification information when this situation occurs, the terminal device 4 By deleting unnecessary information from the storage unit 49, the storage area can be used effectively.

  In the above embodiment, the management server 3 registers in the correspondence table when the session with the karaoke apparatus 2 is released (“NO” in s220 and s250 in FIG. 4 and “NO” in s260 in FIG. 5). Among the correspondence relationships, the user identification information in the session and the terminal identification information corresponding to the user identification information can be deleted (s240 and s280 in the figure).

Since the user identification information and terminal identification information registered in the correspondence table are exchanged between the management server 3 and the karaoke apparatus 2 during the session established between them, they are leaked for some reason. There is no denying the possibility. Leakage of such information is not preferable in terms of safety because it may cause inappropriate use of the karaoke system 1.

For this reason, as described above, the configuration in which the correspondence relationship registered in the correspondence table is deleted after the session is released prevents the corresponding user identification information and terminal identification information from being leaked. Therefore, it is suitable.
(5) Modifications Embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can take various forms as long as they belong to the technical scope of the present invention. Needless to say.

  For example, in the said embodiment, it is comprised so that input operation and logout operation of login ID and a password with respect to the karaoke apparatus 2 may be performed by the operation part 22 of the karaoke apparatus 2. FIG. However, it goes without saying that each operation described above can be configured to be performed by a remote control device or electronic quick sample that can communicate with the karaoke device 2.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, when the karaoke apparatus 2 releases a session (s230 of FIG. 4, s270 of FIG. 5), it is comprised so that the user identification information and terminal identification information in the session may be deleted. (S240 in FIG. 4 and s280 in FIG. 5).

  However, the timing at which these pieces of information are deleted may be any timing as long as the period during which access from the terminal device 4 accompanied by the terminal identification information to the karaoke device 2 can be performed ends. For example, it may be configured to delete the corresponding information when the end of communication with the terminal device 4 is detected (s250 “NO” in FIG. 4). Specifically, s240 in FIG. 4 may be configured to be performed immediately before s230 in FIG.

If comprised in this way, since the radio | wireless communication with the terminal device 4 is complete | finished, since the correspondence of the terminal identification information and user identification information accompanying the access of the terminal device 4 can be deleted, Inappropriate login to the management server 3 due to leakage of the correspondence can be prevented.
(6) The reason why Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication is used for wireless communication between the karaoke apparatus 2 and the portable apparatus 4 for logout detection for accurately recording the karaoke history in the karaoke system will be described.

  First, since the karaoke device 2 can generally be connected to a remote controller using infrared rays, the karaoke device 2 can usually communicate with other terminals also by wireless communication using infrared rays (hereinafter referred to as infrared communication). Is possible. However, since infrared communication is easily blocked by infrared shielding by users or quick samples, infrared communication with the karaoke device 2 installed in the karaoke room, bar, snack, etc. of the karaoke box, It cannot be determined that the user has finished using the karaoke device 2.

In addition, since the karaoke apparatus 2 can be connected by a wireless LAN (for example, IEEE 802.11) in recent years, the karaoke apparatus 2 can communicate with other terminals by wireless communication using the wireless LAN. In comparison with infrared communication, wireless LAN is less likely to be disconnected due to infrared shielding by a person or book. However, since the wireless LAN consumes more power than the Bluetooth (registered trademark), the portable device 4 that operates on the battery goes into a low voltage state during the karaoke performance, and the wireless LAN communication between the karaoke device 2 and the terminal device 4 is performed. Although the user is disconnected and the user has not finished using the karaoke device 2, there is a high possibility of causing a malfunction that is judged to have ended. For wireless communication between the karaoke apparatus and the terminal device 4, wireless communication using weak radio waves such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) is suitable.
