  As one of the environments where such a karaoke system is installed, there is a night market (bar market) such as a snack bar where employees are served along with providing alcoholic beverages. The eighteenth registration is also used in the karaoke system installed in the night market.

  By the way, the karaoke system installed in the night market is composed of one karaoke device main body and one remote control terminal in consideration of the area (area) of the installation store and the number of employees serving customers in the installation store. Often. In the karaoke system configured as described above, it is necessary for a plurality of users to share and use one remote control terminal, and the remote control terminal sings the karaoke music during the period in which the karaoke music is sung. There is a high possibility of being used by other users other than the inside user.

  For this reason, even if the user who is singing wishes to register eighteenth about the karaoke song being sung, information (trigger) cannot be input via the remote control terminal, and the eighteenth registration cannot be performed promptly. Occurs.

  In other words, in the conventional karaoke system, the eighteenth registration cannot be performed at an appropriate timing, and there is a possibility that the eighteenth registration may remain unexecuted for the karaoke piece to be registered.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to enable eighteenth registration at an appropriate timing in a karaoke system.

  The present invention made to achieve the above object relates to a karaoke system including one remote control terminal and one karaoke device main body, and configured to allow data communication between the karaoke device main body and the remote control terminal. .

  One remote control terminal in the karaoke system of the present invention has an information receiving unit that receives input of information from the outside, and designates at least one karaoke piece based on the information received by the information receiving unit.

  And in the karaoke system of this invention, a music information transmission means acquires the user identification information which identifies the user of the said remote control terminal, and based on the acquired user identification information and the information received in the information reception part. The music information, which is information for identifying at least one karaoke music specified in the above, is transmitted in association with the karaoke apparatus main body.

On the other hand, one karaoke apparatus main body in the karaoke system of the present invention has a music performance section for playing karaoke music specified by a remote control terminal.
In the main body of the karaoke apparatus, at least a part of the operation accepting unit constituted by a touch panel accepts input of information from the outside, and the reservation accepting means acquires user identification information and music information transmitted by the music information transmitting means. And the reservation of each karaoke music represented by the music information is accepted. Furthermore, when the eighteenth registration means receives a command from the outside via the touch panel of the operation reception unit during a period in which the reserved karaoke music, which is the karaoke music that has been reserved by the reservation reception means, is played on the music performance unit. A registration button for receiving a registration command is displayed on the touch panel of the operation receiving unit.

<Processing to be executed in the karaoke system>
Next, processing executed in the karaoke system will be described.

Here, FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the registration process for executing the eighteenth registration among the processes executed in the karaoke system.
As shown in FIG. 2, the registration process is a process executed in cooperation by the control unit 60 of the remote control terminal 50 and the control unit 35 of the karaoke commander 20. This registration process is executed by the remote controller side process executed by the control unit 60 of the remote control terminal 50 and the control unit 35 of the karaoke commander 20, and a command or remote control input via the input unit 21 of the karaoke commander 20. Commander-side processing that executes control corresponding to information from the terminal 50.

  First, when the power is turned on, the remote control terminal 50 displays a guest user screen YG as shown in FIG. This guest user screen YG realizes a login button LB for requesting display of the user's own information registered by the storage process, a search execution screen SG for searching for karaoke music, and various functions prepared in advance. And a process execution button group PB for executing a process for executing the process. In the search execution screen SG, for example, a button is prepared for each search method.

  2 is started when the operation receiving unit 52 acquires that the login button LB is pressed on the guest user screen YG via the input unit 51.

  Then, in the remote control processing, the user information input via the input unit 51 is acquired by the operation reception unit 52 and transmitted to the karaoke commander 20 (S110). The user information here includes user identification information (so-called user ID) for identifying the user of the remote control terminal 50 and a password defined when the storage process is executed.

  In the commander side processing, when user information is received from the remote control terminal 50, the received user information is collated with information stored in the storage processing (hereinafter referred to as stored information), and the result of the collation If the user information matches the stored information, a login process for authenticating the user of the remote control terminal 50 corresponding to the user information is executed (S510). As shown in FIG. 4A, the stored information includes user identification information (so-called user ID), a registered name input by the user, and user characteristics (for example, wearing glasses). Etc.) at least. Further, the stored information includes a password. The stored information may be stored in the storage unit 29 of the karaoke commander 20 or may be stored in a server configured to be communicable with the karaoke commander 20.

  In S510 of the commander-side process, when the user of the remote control terminal 50 is authenticated as a result of the login process, it corresponds to the user identification information of the user together with information indicating that the login is successful, and the storage process or the registration process The registered information (hereinafter referred to as user correspondence information group) is transmitted to the remote control terminal 50.

  When the user is authenticated as the user in S510 of the commander side process and the remote control terminal 50 receives the user correspondence information group, the remote control side process stores the user correspondence information group in the storage unit 59 and executes the music search process. (S120). Since this music search process is a well-known process for searching for karaoke music based on information input via the input unit 51, detailed description thereof is omitted.

  Then, in the remote control side processing, one of the karaoke songs searched in the music search process is determined as a karaoke song to be karaoke played by the karaoke commander 20 and reserved processing is executed (S130). Specifically, in S130 of the present embodiment, when at least one karaoke song searched in the music search process is input with a reservation command indicating reservation determination of the music, the music information corresponding to the karaoke music (Here, information including at least the music identification information) and the user identification information of the user who has logged in when the reservation command is input are transmitted to the karaoke commander 20.

  That is, the music information (music identification information) and the user identification information transmitted in S130 of the remote control process are associated with each other as shown in FIG. In addition, key information representing a key (pitch) in karaoke performance and option information representing setting conditions in karaoke performance may be included. Note that the option information here includes, for example, information for prohibiting the performance of the guide melody (in the figure, “Gimero OFF”), control information for controlling the strength of the performance of the guide melody, and the like.

  Thereafter, in the remote control processing, it is determined whether or not information (command) input has been received via the input unit 51 (S140). If the result of the determination is that information (command) input has not been received (S140: NO), it returns to S120. On the other hand, if the input of information (command) is received via the input unit 51 (S140: YES), processing corresponding to the received information (command) is executed.

  By the way, when the karaoke commander 20 receives the music information (music identification information) transmitted in S130 of the remote controller side process and associated with the user identification information, the commander side process represents the received music information. A reservation reception process for receiving a reservation for karaoke performance of the karaoke piece is executed (S520). Since this reservation acceptance process is a well-known process, a detailed description thereof is omitted here. For example, as shown in FIG. 4C, the reservation acceptance process is associated with user identification information sequentially transmitted from the remote control terminal 50. A list representing the order of karaoke songs to be performed is created so that the karaoke songs represented by the received song information are played along the order in which the song information is received.

  Further, in the commander-side process, a performance start process for starting the karaoke performance of the karaoke piece for which the reservation is received in the reservation reception process is executed (S530). Subsequently, an eighteenth registration preparation process for accepting selection of whether or not to execute the eighteenth registration is executed for the karaoke musical piece whose karaoke performance is started in S530 (S540).

  Then, in the commander-side process, a performance end process for ending the karaoke performance is executed for the karaoke music for which the karaoke performance has been started in S530 (S550), and it is selected that the eighteenth registration is executed in the eighteenth registration preparation process. If yes, an eighteenth registration process for executing eighteenth registration is executed (S560).

Thereafter, the karaoke commander 20 stands by until user information, music information associated with the user identification information, and other information and commands are input.
<About the eighteenth registration preparation process>
Next, the eighteenth registration preparation process executed by the karaoke commander 20 will be described.

Here, as shown in FIG. 5, it is a flowchart which shows the process sequence of a eighteenth registration preparation process.
When the eighteenth registration preparation process is started, first, as shown in FIG. 6 (A), the display panel 21a continues to continue the karaoke performance of the karaoke music whose karaoke performance has been started in the previous S530. The eighteenth button RA is displayed on the touch panel, and the eighteenth button RA is set on the touch panel to put the display area of the eighteenth button RA into the touch input waiting state for the input unit 21 (S610). At this time, lyrics and the like based on the lyrics telop data are also displayed on the display unit 28 and the display panel 21a of the karaoke commander 20, as shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not a preparation command indicating that preparation for the eighteenth registration is performed is input (touch input of the “eighteenth button”) via the input unit 21 (the eighteenth button RA display area) of the karaoke commander 20. (S620). As a result of the determination, if the preparation command is not input (S620: NO), the process returns to S610. If the preparation command is input (S620: YES), the process proceeds to S630.

  In S630, the operation mode is set to the eighteenth registration mode for executing preparation for eighteenth registration. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6B, the display panel 21a is switched to a screen on which a registration button RB for receiving an input of a registration command indicating that the eighteenth registration is executed is displayed.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the karaoke performance has been completed for the karaoke music for which the karaoke performance has been started in the previous S530 (S640). If the result of the determination is that the karaoke performance has not ended (S640: NO), it is determined whether or not a registration command has been input (S650).

  Specifically, in S650 of the present embodiment, when the operation accepting unit 22 acquires that the registration button RB (“Yes”) has been pressed, it is determined that a registration command has been input, and the registration button RB is pressed. If the operation accepting unit 22 has not acquired this, it is determined that the registration command has not been input, and the input is waited for.

  As a result of the determination in S650, when it is determined that the registration command is “No” (S650: “No”), the process returns to S610 and waits for the touch input of the eighteenth button RA again. S610 to S640 are repeated until the karaoke performance is completed for the karaoke music whose karaoke performance has been started in the previous S530.

  On the other hand, if a registration command is input as a result of the determination in S650 (S650: “Yes”), the eighteenth registration preparation information is stored in the RAM 37 provided in the control unit 35 of the karaoke commander 20 (S660). As shown in FIG. 7A, the eighteenth registration preparation information stored in S660 is reserved for music identification information corresponding to the karaoke music for which karaoke performance has been started in S530 and the karaoke music. Information including user identification information associated with the music identification information.

  Subsequently, the eighteenth registration notification information is set (S670). The eighteenth registration notification information set in S670 is a flag (in FIG. 7B, the eighteenth registration notification flag) indicating that the eighteenth registration is executed, as shown in FIG. “1” in 7 (B) means that the eighteenth registration notification flag is set. In S670 of this embodiment, the eighteenth registration notification information is set in association with the user identification information stored in S660.

Thereafter, the eighteenth registration preparation process is terminated, and the process proceeds to S550 of the commander side process. Note that if the result of determination in S640 is that the karaoke performance has ended (S640: YES), the eighteenth registration preparation process is ended and the process proceeds to S550 in the commander side process.
<About the eighteenth registration process>
Next, the eighteenth registration process executed by the karaoke commander 20 will be described.

Here, as shown in FIG. 8, it is a flowchart which shows the process sequence of an eighteenth registration process.
When the eighteenth registration process is started, it is first determined whether or not eighteenth registration preparation information is stored (S710). If the eighteenth registration preparation information is not stored as a result of the determination in S710 (S710: NO), the eighteenth registration process is terminated without executing the eighteenth registration, and the process returns to the commander side process.

  On the other hand, if the eighteenth registration preparation information is stored as a result of the determination in S710 (S710: YES), the key information set when the previous S550 is executed is acquired (S720). Then, the key information acquired in S720 is registered together with the eighteenth registration preparation information stored in the RAM 37 in the previous eighteenth registration preparation process (S730).

  That is, in S730, as shown in FIG. 7C, the karaoke performance of the karaoke music represented by the music identification information, the user identification information associated with the music identification information, and the music identification information is performed. The registration of the key information set at the time of completion and the option information set at the time of the karaoke performance of the karaoke song represented by the song identification information is performed as eighteenth registration.

  Further, the eighteenth registration notification information set in the previous S670 is maintained in the set state (S740). That is, the eighteenth registration notification information is set after being associated with the user identification information registered in S730.

Thereafter, the eighteenth registration process is terminated, and the process returns to the commander side process.
<Registration confirmation process>
Next, among the processes executed in the karaoke system, the registration confirmation process will be described.

Here, FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the registration confirmation processing.
As shown in FIG. 9, the registration confirmation process is a process executed in cooperation by the control unit 60 of the remote control terminal 50 and the control unit 35 of the karaoke commander 20. This registration confirmation process is performed by the remote controller side confirmation process executed by the control unit 65 of the remote control terminal 50 and the command input by the control unit 35 of the karaoke commander 20 and input via the input unit 21 of the karaoke commander 20. Alternatively, it consists of commander side confirmation processing for executing control corresponding to information from the remote control terminal 50.

Among these, the remote control side confirmation process is activated when the user of the remote control terminal 50 logged into the karaoke system 1 is changed.
The change of the user of the remote control terminal 50 that is logged in is executed by the following method.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10A, an image (hereinafter referred to as “my room screen”) LG that can browse the user correspondence information group corresponding to the logged-in user is displayed on the display unit 57 of the remote control terminal 50. If the operation accepting unit 52 obtains that the user switching button CB provided in the image LG is pressed under the current situation, the login process is performed as shown in FIG. 10B. A list screen CA of each user who is notified of the result, that is, who is logged in, is displayed. Then, when one user is selected from the list screen CA of each logged-in user (if the touch panel is used, the user name is touch-input), the my room screen LG of the selected one user is displayed. Next, a user switching process is performed in which the My Room screen of the logged-in user is switched.

  At this time, in the user switching process, a process of transmitting to the karaoke commander 20 a registration confirmation request for requesting provision of user identification information corresponding to the user after switching and information relating to the newly registered music. Is also executed (S210).

  On the other hand, the karaoke commander 20 that has received the registration confirmation request (corresponding to the specific request in the claims) associated with the user identification information from the remote control terminal 50 activates the commander side confirmation process, and the commander side confirmation process. In step S810, it is determined whether or not the eighteenth registration notification information associated with the received user identification information is set. Subsequently, in the commander side confirmation process, the result confirmed in S810 (hereinafter, registration confirmation result) is transmitted (output) to the remote control terminal 50 (S820).

  Thereafter, in the commander side confirmation process, if the eighteenth registration notification information associated with the user identification information transmitted from the remote control terminal 50 is set as a result of the confirmation in S810 (S830: YES), the eighteenth registration is performed. The notification information (that is, the flag) is canceled (S840).

  Then, the karaoke commander 20 stands by until a command or new information (command) is input from the remote control terminal 50 via the input unit 21 of the karaoke commander 20. If the eighteenth registration notification information associated with the user identification information transmitted from the remote control terminal 50 is not set (S830: NO), the remote control terminal maintains the state where the eighteenth registration notification information is released. It waits until information is input via the input unit 21 of the command or the karaoke commander 20 from 50.

  On the other hand, when the remote control terminal 50 receives the registration confirmation result from the karaoke commander 20, the remote control side confirmation process determines whether or not the eighteenth registration notification information is set in the karaoke commander 20 based on the registration confirmation result. If the eighteenth registration notification information is set as a result of the determination in S220 (S220: YES), the display unit 57 of the remote control terminal 50 indicates that there is a newly registered eighteenth karaoke piece. The eighteenth registration notification process to be displayed is executed (S230). In S230, information about the newly registered karaoke music (for example, the name of the karaoke music) may be displayed on the display unit 57 of the remote control terminal 50.

Thereafter, the remote control side confirmation process is terminated, and the process proceeds to S120 of the remote control side process. In the remote control side confirmation process, if the eighteenth registration notification information is not set as a result of the determination in S220 (S220: NO), the remote control side process proceeds to S120 without executing the eighteenth registration notification process. Transition. However, when a new command input via the input unit 51 of the remote control terminal 50 is input, processing corresponding to the new command is started.
[Effect of the embodiment]
As described above, according to the karaoke system 1 of the present embodiment, the eighteenth registration can be executed by inputting a registration command via the input unit 21 provided in the karaoke commander 20.

  For this reason, according to the karaoke system 1, even if the karaoke system 1 is used by a plurality of people and the remote control terminal 50 is used by a user other than the user who is singing, the eighteenth registration can be executed. In other words, according to the karaoke system 1, even when karaoke music is being played (and thus singing karaoke music), the eighteenth registration can be executed at a necessary timing, and the eighteenth registration is performed for the karaoke music to be registered. It is possible to reduce being left unimplemented.

  In particular, since the karaoke system 1 is installed in the night market, an employee of the installation store inputs a registration command, so that the eighteenth registration can be realized without making the user who is singing troublesome.

In the karaoke system 1, in the eighteenth registration, information obtained by adding key information and option information to music information and user identification information is registered.
Therefore, when the karaoke performance of the karaoke performance is set based on the key information and the option information associated with the karaoke music the next time the karaoke performance is registered, the karaoke system 1 can be used. The person does not need to reset performance conditions that are easy to sing when the eighteen registered karaoke music piece is sung next time. That is, according to the karaoke system 1, the convenience for the user of the karaoke system 1 can be improved.

  In particular, there is a high possibility that the key set when the karaoke performance of the karaoke piece is finished is set to a key that is easy to sing for the user who sang the karaoke piece. For this reason, according to the karaoke system 1, the key which is easy to sing more reliably for the user of a karaoke system can be registered with the music information etc. eighteenth.

In the karaoke system 1, every time the My Room screen is changed according to an operation input by the user of the remote control terminal 50, it is confirmed whether or not there is a newly registered karaoke song corresponding to the user. If there is a corresponding karaoke piece, the fact is displayed. As a result, when the screen of the remote control terminal 50 is changed to the user's My Room screen, the user can recognize the presence or absence of a newly registered karaoke song.
[Other Embodiments]
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, In the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention, it is possible to implement in various aspects.

  For example, in the confirmation process of the above embodiment, the karaoke commander 20 that has received the registration confirmation request from the remote control terminal 50 has returned to the remote control terminal 50 as the confirmation result of the presence or absence of the newly registered karaoke song, In the confirmation process, the information returned from the karaoke commander 20 to the remote control terminal 50 is not limited to this. That is, the information returned from the karaoke commander 20 to the remote control terminal 50 is associated with the user identification information received together with the registration confirmation request, and is information related to all eighteen registered karaoke songs (for example, information including song information ( The eighteenth information in the claims))) may also be used.

In this case, in S230 of the remote controller side confirmation process, information related to all the eighteenth registered karaoke songs may be displayed on the display unit 57.
In S230 of the remote controller side confirmation process in the above embodiment, the information is notified by displaying on the display unit 57. However, the mode of notifying the information is not limited to the display. For example, voice notification may be executed. However, in this case, the remote control terminal 50 needs to be provided with a speaker that outputs sound.

Further, in the eighteenth registration preparation process in the above embodiment, the input of the registration command is accepted as the display area of the eighteenth button RA.
In addition, the following areas may be considered as areas for receiving registration command inputs.

  In a general bar market, considering that the karaoke commander 20 is mainly operated by an employee, the touch panel is not displayed on the display unit 21a without displaying the eighteenth button after the eighteenth registration preparation process during performance starts. May be shifted from the eighteenth registration preparation to the eighteenth registration mode by touch-inputting to an arbitrary position in the display area.

By doing so, the employees who are in the service are not required to look away from the customer and look for the eighteenth button on the touch panel screen.
Further, if the eighteenth button is not displayed at the above timing, it is not necessary to distinguish the characters of the lyrics telop displayed on the display unit 21a and the “eighteenth” character in FIG. 6A. Therefore, the employee is not likely to mistakenly read the position of the lyrics telop character “18th” displayed accidentally and the character “18th” of the 18th button.

Furthermore, since the lyrics telop is hidden on the registration command screen from when the preparation command is input (S620: YES) until the registration command is input (S650: “Yes”) (FIG. 6B )), The employee is still not afraid to mistake the text on the button with the lyrics telop.
