JP6181503B2 - Karaoke system that can set priority for each account - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a karaoke apparatus having a function capable of making a music selection reservation from a remote control terminal device.

In karaoke singing, all singers are basically equal, but sometimes equality can be difficult to use.
For example, when there is a vertical relationship or entertainment relationship such as a boss and subordinate, a business operator and a customer, the boss or the customer may have a function of giving preferential treatment to other members.
In an environment where employees are enjoying karaoke, there may be cases where bosses and customers participate from the middle. (This is an annoying situation for employees who have fun)

  Most of the applications related to the karaoke reservation function are to adjust the singing order so as to make the singing opportunity as fair as possible, and there are few applications that intentionally skip or interrupt the order.

  However, the world is not always equal and fair, and there are demands that you do not want to equalize, such as hierarchical relationships and entertainment, rather than reservation order.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a reservation control apparatus in which a reservation control apparatus and a plurality of reservation terminals are coupled through predetermined data transmission means, and a song ID that is requested by each reservation terminal is input together with the ID of the reservation terminal. The reservation control apparatus arranges the music IDs supplied from the respective reservation terminals in the order of acceptance, determines the performance order of each requested music according to a predetermined rearrangement rule, and transmits the performance order to the karaoke performance apparatus. The reservation control device includes group setting means for setting one or several reservation terminal IDs as one group according to an operation input by an administrator, and the sorting rule for the reservation status for each group. It includes performance schedule setting means that is appropriately set according to an operation input by the administrator.

  Patent Document 2 is a method for optimizing music selection in a karaoke music selection system in which a store system and a music selection management device are connected via a network, and receives data of members who participate in a group at the karaoke shop on the day. Acquire attribute information in the group of participating members, history information of songs sung in the past in the store, or songs heard from others, determine the priority based on the acquired attributes and history information, the participating members The order of selection of performance songs to be sung is determined, and the performance song list of all members of the group on the day is output.

Patent Document 1 controls priority for each customer group, and basically has an administrator, and is intended to adjust reservations between groups on the store side.
On the other hand, Patent Document 2 automatically gives priority in consideration of scenes such as entertainment and subordinates, but it is necessary to input information and singing history of each individual in advance.

  In recent years, there are many cases where there is no manager as in Patent Document 1, and there is a case where it is desired to operate the priority of later participants or reserved music. In Patent Document 2, since the participating members are required to be members, this is also not realistic.

  In the present invention, in a karaoke system that accepts reservations from a plurality of accounts, priority is given to reservations from accounts with high priority by giving priority information to the accounts.

Claim 1 is a karaoke system that accepts reservations from a plurality of accounts, and a priority can be set for each account, and a song reserved from an account with a higher priority is a song reserved from an account with a lower priority. It will be played earlier. The priority for each account can be changed at any time, and reserved music is also changed according to the change in the priority of the account.
Claim 2 sets a queue having a plurality of priorities, and reserves music in a queue having a high priority when the music is waiting in a queue having a high priority and a queue having a low priority. When the high priority queue is emptied, the songs in the low priority queue are played in the reserved order.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, the maximum number of continuous reproductions can be set in each priority queue in claim 2, and if the maximum number of continuous reproductions arrives even if the queue is not empty, The music of the queue is played. The number of songs that can be played continuously is determined, and the higher the priority, the more songs that can be played continuously.
For example, if the account with the maximum number of continuous playbacks of 3 is account a only, account a can play up to 3 songs in succession, and on the 4th song, the song of account b of the next priority is played, and then again The music of the account a with high priority is played.
A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a method according to the third aspect, wherein the reservation of the next song in the queue of the low priority account queue is made even if the maximum number of continuous playbacks in the high priority account queue is reached. If the time is set earlier than the reservation of the earliest music, the music of the account with a higher priority is played.
For example, 3 songs of account a with the maximum number of continuous plays 3 are played, and usually the first song of account b with low priority is played next, but the 4th song of account a is the first song of account b. If the reservation is made first, the fourth song of account a is played first.
Claim 5 notifies that the same song is reserved on the remote control of the account with lower priority when the song is reserved with a high priority account and the account with lower priority has already reserved the same song. In addition, a change of music is requested. (Do not notify anything for high-priority accounts.)
Claim 6 is to set the scoring standard of an account with a high priority as compared with an account with a low priority.

An example of embodiments of claims 1 and 2 of the present invention is shown in the figure.
Suppose karaoke music reservations are reserved in the order of the queue as shown in FIG. Here, A is now singing song A in the karaoke apparatus 1, and then B's song B and A's song C are registered in this order.
Here, when the performance of the music piece A is finished, the performance of the music piece B is started next. Suppose that music D is reserved. It is difficult for Japanese participants to make reservations with their own high-priority accounts. In this state, the order of singing following the music A of A is B's music B → A's music C → 丙 's music D (FIG. 1). Here, the waiting second party can reduce his / her priority so that he / she can give priority to the reservation of the bag in consideration of entertaining (FIG. 2).

After that, even though the performance of the music A is finished, the queue 3 having a high priority still has the music C and the music D reserved by a high-priority account. It becomes a performance of C (FIG. 3). When the performance of the song D is completed and the high priority queue 3 is emptied, the next B music B at the head of the low priority queue 2 is played (FIG. 4). From the customer's point of view, in contrast to the fact that the former Singing at the store sang two songs prior to their own singing, the singer sings after the song despite the fact that it was coming first. Compared to B, who effectively uses the priority change, the impression of Party A is not so good. In this way, the usage is in line with Japanese culture, which gives priority to customers in an inconspicuous manner and can establish impression preservation or relative advantage.
Examples of claims 3 and 4 of the present invention are shown in FIG. Here, Party A, Party B, and 丙 are low-priority account users, and Ding, 戊, and Self are high-priority account users. In FIG. 5, the user Ding is singing the music E now. In addition, in the queue 2 having a low priority, the first music A, the second music B, the second music C, and the second music D are waiting in this order.
On the other hand, it is assumed that the song 3 of the song “F”, the song “G” of the song D, the song “H” of the song “M”, and the song “I” are waiting in this order.

Here, as an example of claim 3, if the number of songs that can be continuously sung by this high priority account (maximum number of continuous playbacks) is 3, the singing order is:
Music E → Music F → Music G → Music A → Music H → Music I → Music B → Music C → Music D (After singing three songs with high priority account continuously, you can sing one song with low priority account.)

  Further, in the fourth aspect, in addition to the maximum number of continuous reproductions of the third aspect, the subsequent part of the reserved time is taken into consideration. For example, after the music G is finished, in claim 3 the next is the music A of the account with the lower priority, but if the time when the music A was reserved is 19:05, When the time when the music H is reserved is 19:03, the fourth music H is played first even if the maximum number of continuous playbacks of the account with high priority is 3.

6 and 7 show an embodiment of claim 5. The users of the first, second, and second are low priority accounts, and Ding is the high priority account user. It is assumed that the song C and the song D are already reserved in the queue 2 having a low priority, and the account D having a high priority reserves the song E and the song C in this order. The music E and music C of the account with high priority are registered in the queue 3 with high priority (FIG. 6), and at the same time, the music of the music is sent to the remote controller who has already reserved the music C first. A change is required (FIG. 7).
Here, if the song is canceled by the song C and changed to the song F, the song is changed as shown in FIG. 8 while maintaining the song order of the song C in the queue 2 having a low priority. .
At this time, if the order of singing the song C arrives without changing the song C, the song is skipped and the next reserved song D in the same queue 2 is played. Is done.

As an example of claim 6 which gives priority to the singing scoring standard, in the Ding book reserved in the account with high priority, the former, the second, the niece reserved in the account with low priority,
The threshold of pitch deviation, which is the standard for scoring,
30 cents for Party A, Party B, and Domaine reserved with a low priority account
For a ding book reserved for an account with a high priority, setting the cost to 50 cents can facilitate the scoring of users of accounts with a high priority.
