To do. The control unit 31a detects an operation signal from the operation unit 31f and executes a corresponding process.

(Software configuration)
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a software configuration example of the karaoke main body 31. The karaoke main body 31 includes an avatar creation unit 311, an information processing unit 312, a comment determination unit 313, a performance processing unit 314, and a comment storage unit 321.

  Note that the avatar creation unit 311, the information processing unit 312, the comment determination unit 313, and the performance processing unit 314 are realized by the CPU 311a of the control unit 31a executing an operation program stored in the memory 312a. The comment storage unit 321 is realized as a part of the storage area provided by the storage unit 31c.

  The avatar creation unit 311 creates an avatar that is a part of an employee in the karaoke system 1. For example, the avatar creation unit 311 reads a plurality of parts information that can be used to create an avatar from the server 2. The terminal display processing unit 31g displays the part information on the remote control display unit 35a. The employee selects his / her favorite parts on the remote control device 35. The avatar creation unit 311 creates an avatar based on the selected part. The created avatar data is associated with the employee ID for specifying the employee by the information processing unit 312 and transmitted to the server 2 via the communication unit 31b. The server 2 stores avatar data as part of employee information (details will be described later). In addition, it is also possible to use the photograph data taken from the employee's own portable terminal or the like as a part of the parts constituting the avatar (for example, face parts). The plurality of parts information may be stored in the storage unit 31 c of the karaoke apparatus 3.

  The information processing unit 312 processes various information in the karaoke apparatus 3 and transmits / receives various data to / from the server 2.

  For example, the information processing unit 312 processes the login / logout status of the employee to the karaoke system 1. Specifically, when a certain employee inputs an employee ID and logs in to the karaoke system 1, the information processing unit 312 transmits the employee information corresponding to the employee ID via the communication unit 31 b. Request to the server 2. Then, the information processing unit 312 registers the login date and time (updates employee information) in the received employee information. On the other hand, when the employee logs out from the karaoke system 1, the information processing unit 312 registers the logout date and time (updates the employee information) in the employee information. Thereafter, the information processing unit 312 transmits the updated employee information to the server 2 via the communication unit 31b. The server 2 stores the received employee information by replacing it with past employee information. The employee information received from the server 2 and the updated employee information are temporarily stored in a part of the storage area provided by the storage unit 31c.

  The employee information is information regarding employees who work at a certain store. FIG. 5 is an example of employee information stored as table data in the server 2. In this example, a name, information recording the previous login / logout date / time (login / logout information), and schedule information are registered in association with the employee ID for identifying the employee. As the employee ID, a dedicated ID may be provided separately, or the user ID registered by the employee when using karaoke may be used as the employee ID.

  The schedule information is information including at least one of a time period during which a certain employee can duet or the number of times that a duet can be performed.

  Registration of schedule information is possible at various timings. For example, the employee logs into the karaoke system 1 outside work hours and inputs schedule information in advance via the remote control device 35. The information processing unit 312 associates the input schedule information with the employee ID and transmits it to the server 2 via the communication unit 31b. The server 2 stores schedule information as part of employee information.

  Various methods for registering schedule information are also possible. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it is possible to register only due time periods or due times. Alternatively, “Monday / Day (Monday) is from 12:00 to 23:00, and △ Month / Day (Tue) is from 20:30 to 21:00 and 22:00 to 23:00,...” Thus, you may register in detail for each day of the week.

  The comment determination unit 313 determines a predetermined comment based on the schedule information and the singing information. Singing information is information for determining whether an employee is actually performing a duet. For example, the comment determination unit 313 randomly determines a comment from a plurality of comments stored in the comment storage unit 321 based on schedule information and singing information (details will be described later).

  The employee may select a desired comment from a plurality of comments in advance (or create an original comment) via the remote control device 35 or the like. The information processing unit 312 associates the created comment with the employee ID and transmits it to the server 2 via the communication unit 31b. The server 2 stores comments as part of employee information. In this case, the comment determination unit 313 selects a comment included in the employee information when determining a predetermined comment based on the schedule information and the singing information. Such a pre-selected comment (a pre-created comment) is an example of a “predetermined comment”.

  The performance processing unit 314 performs various control processes necessary for playing the music. For example, when a song ID of a certain song is input by the remote control device 35, the performance processing unit 314 reads the song data corresponding to the song ID from the storage unit 31c or the server 2. For example, the performance processing unit 314 controls the sound processing unit 31d to emit the karaoke performance sound and the singing sound from the microphone 34 from the speaker 32 based on the accompaniment data included in the music data. Further, the performance processing unit 314 controls the display processing unit 31e to display on the karaoke display unit 33 a video obtained by synthesizing the background video based on the video data included in the music data and the lyrics telop based on the lyrics data.

== About comment determination and comment display ==
Next, specific examples of comment determination and comment display will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of processing in the karaoke system 1. FIG. 7 is an example of table data of a comment group stored in the comment storage unit 321. 8A to 8D are examples of display screens of the remote control display unit 35a.

  In the table data shown in FIG. 7, each of the plurality of comments is assigned a comment ID. A plurality of comments are classified into some comment groups according to schedule information and singing information. In this example, it is divided into two major categories, “not singing” and “during singing”.

  In addition, the comments included in the group “not singing” are further divided into four subcategories. Specifically, a group of comments to be displayed when an employee goes to work and logs in to the karaoke system 1 ("when logging in"), a group of comments to be displayed when waiting for a duet appointment ("waiting"), If you are not singing, but have already entered duet reservations ("Reserved") and you are working, but the schedule information you have set is not yet met (the duet start time is reached) Comment group ("outside the singing time").

  On the other hand, comments included in the “singing” group are further divided into two subcategories. Specifically, a comment group to be displayed when a condition set as schedule information (for example, duet count) is cleared (“duet end”), and a comment group to be displayed when a condition set as schedule information is not cleared ("Duet continuation").

  In the following description, an example of comment determination and comment display that occurs from when employee A logs in to karaoke system 1 and logs out will be described. In addition, it is assumed that the employee A creates his / her avatar a in advance and registers “duet number 5 times” in advance as schedule information.

(1) When employee A goes to work and logs in to karaoke system 1 Information processing unit 312 receives employee information related to employee A from server 2 via communication unit 31b.

  The comment determination unit 313 determines a predetermined comment based on login information indicating that the employee A has logged into the karaoke system 1 and schedule information included in the received employee information.

  Specifically, the comment determination unit 313 determines that the employee A is “not singing” based on the login information (that is, the login information is an example of “singing information”). The comment determination unit 313 then selects a predetermined comment (comment ID2: “comment ID2:” from the corresponding comment group (comment ID1 to comment ID20)) based on the schedule information of the logged-in employee A (“duet count 5 times”). You can sing 5 songs today.

  The terminal display processing unit 31g displays the determined comment and the avatar a corresponding to the employee A on the remote control display unit 35a (S10, see FIG. 8A).

(2) When employee A sings (Y in S11)
Next, when the user who looks at the display screen shown in FIG. 8A appoints employee A as a partner who wants to duet, the user operates remote controller 35 to select avatar a corresponding to employee A.

  In this case, the terminal display processing unit 31g displays a music selection screen corresponding to the employee ID of the employee A on the remote control display unit 35a. Regarding the selection of the duet music to be sung, employee A may select and register a predetermined music in advance, or employee A may specify only the genre, and the user can select from the specified genres. May select music, or the user may select the music that the employee A wants to duet first.

  When the user selects a desired music piece, the karaoke apparatus 3 starts playing the music piece. Further, the information processing unit 312 updates the schedule information included in the employee information (changes the number of duets from 5 to 4).

  Here, the comment determination unit 313 determines a predetermined comment based on the performance start signal and the updated schedule information.

  Specifically, the comment determination unit 313 determines that the state is “singing” based on the performance start signal (that is, the performance start signal is an example of “singing information”). Further, according to the schedule information, the employee A still has four duets (corresponding to N in S12). Therefore, the comment determination unit 313 randomly determines a predetermined comment from the comment group (comment ID 81 to comment ID 100) corresponding to “during singing” and “duet continuation”.

  The terminal display processing unit 31g switches the comment displayed on the display screen of FIG. 8A to the determined comment (comment ID 81: “Now singing. Next, please appoint.”) (S13) (See FIG. 8B).

(3) When employee A finishes singing When employee A sings, the comment determination unit 313 determines a predetermined comment based on the performance stop signal and schedule information.

  Specifically, the comment determination unit 313 determines that the state is “not singing” based on the performance stop signal (that is, the performance stop signal is an example of “singing information”). Further, according to the schedule information, employee A still has four duets. Therefore, the comment determination unit 313 randomly determines a predetermined comment from the comment group (comment ID 21 to comment ID 40) corresponding to “not singing” and “standby”.

  The terminal display processing unit 31g switches the comment displayed on the display screen of FIG. 8B to the determined comment (comment ID 21: “You can still sing! Nominate!”) (S14, see FIG. 8C). ). If nominated again in this state (Y in S15), the karaoke system 1 returns to the determination process in S12 to determine and display a predetermined comment. The karaoke apparatus 3 repeats the processes of S12 to S15 until the duet number set by the employee A in the schedule information is reached.

(4) When employee A reaches the duet number set in the schedule information (Y in S12)
The comment determination unit 313 determines a predetermined comment based on the performance start signal and schedule information.

  Specifically, the comment determination unit 313 determines that it is in a “singing” state based on a performance start signal. Further, according to the schedule information, the employee A has no remaining duets. Therefore, the comment determination unit 313 randomly determines a predetermined comment from the comment group (comment ID 101 to comment ID 120) corresponding to “during singing” and “end of duet”.

  The terminal display processing unit 31g switches the comment displayed on the display screen of FIG. 8C to the determined comment (“I'm sorry, today is over. See you again.”) (S16, see FIG. 8D). .

  As described above, the employee A logs out from the karaoke system 1 when the condition set as the schedule information is satisfied. The information processing unit 312 records logout information (logout time) in the employee information and transmits the logout information to the control unit 31a. The terminal display processing unit 31g erases the avatar a corresponding to the employee A from the display screen of the remote control display unit 35a based on the control of the control unit 31a.

  Note that the terminal display processing unit 31g may erase the avatar from the display screen when it is determined that there are no duets remaining (Y in S12).

  8A to 8D show examples in which avatars and comments corresponding to a plurality of employees other than the employee A are displayed. The comments of these other employees can be determined and displayed by the same processing as described above.

  Thus, according to the karaoke system 1 which concerns on this embodiment, the comment determined based on the employee's schedule information and singing information can be displayed together with the avatar. Therefore, users can refer to avatars and comments to understand the duet status of employees (who can do a duet, who are singing employees, etc.). Application is possible. Alternatively, even users who have visited the store for the first time can easily apply for a duet by referring to their avatars and comments. That is, according to the karaoke system 1 according to the present embodiment, a user who desires a duet and an employee can communicate smoothly.

Second Embodiment
Next, with reference to FIGS. 9-10, the karaoke system 1 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated. In this embodiment, an example in which a mobile terminal possessed by a user is used as a terminal for displaying an avatar and a comment will be described. Detailed description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment will be omitted.

  In this embodiment, the user of the karaoke system 1 registers user information. User information is information relating to customers (users) who use a certain store. User information is managed by the server 2 as table data as shown in FIG. 9, for example. The user information includes the name, age, store visit history, last login date and time, etc. to the karaoke system 1. However, for the convenience of explanation of the present embodiment, as will be described later, the user α to the user γ are set as the current login date and time. For example, the user accesses a dedicated site provided by the karaoke system 1 from a portable terminal and inputs user information. The information processing unit 312 transmits the input user information to the server 2 through the communication unit 31b in association with the user ID. The server 2 stores the received user information.

  On the other hand, the employee information in the present embodiment includes information indicating a user designated in advance by the employee. Some employees have personal wishes such as “I want a duet with only users who are nominated well” and “I don't want to do a duet with a specific user”. Therefore, such information is registered in advance as employee information.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of table data including such information. Here, an example is shown in which information indicating a user designated in advance by each employee, specifically, a “user who refuses a duet” is registered. The registration of the user identification information is performed, for example, by inputting a user ID of a user who refuses duet when an employee inputs schedule information, or by inputting a name or nickname set at the time of registration. The information indicating the user designated in advance by the employee is an example of “user selection information for selecting a user who performs duet”.

  The terminal display processing unit 31g according to the present embodiment provides a predetermined comment only when the user who has logged into the karaoke system 1 from the mobile terminal is a user who corresponds to information indicating the user specified in advance by the employee. Is displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal.

== About comment determination and comment display ==
Here, it is assumed that employee A registers user β and user γ in the employee information as “users who refuse to duet”. Further, it is assumed that user α to user γ have registered user information in advance.

  When the users α to γ log in to the karaoke system 1 via the mobile terminal, the information processing unit 312 requests each user information from the server 2 based on the user ID corresponding to each user. To do. The server 2 transmits each user information to the karaoke apparatus 3.

  The comment determination unit 313 determines a predetermined comment by the same process as in the first embodiment.

  On the other hand, the terminal display processing unit 31g (control unit 31a) uses the user information of the user α to the user γ logged in during the same time period (2014/10/7/20: 15) and the employee of the employee A. Determine whether duets are possible based on the information.

  As described above, according to the employee information of the employee A, the employee A can duet only with the user α (the user β and the user γ are duet rejected). Therefore, the terminal display processing unit 31g determines that “a duet with the employee A is possible” for the user α, and uses the determined comment and the avatar a corresponding to the employee A of the mobile terminal of the user α. Display on the display screen. Note that the display screen of the mobile terminal is an example of “display unit (of terminal)”.

  On the other hand, the terminal display processing unit 31g determines that “a duet with the employee A is impossible” for the user β and the user γ. Therefore, the terminal display processing unit 31g does not display the determined comment and the avatar a corresponding to the employee A on the display screens of the mobile terminals of the users β and γ.

  Thus, according to the karaoke system 1 which concerns on this embodiment, the user who desires a duet on the employee side can be specified. Therefore, the employee is less likely to feel stress such as having to perform a duet with a poor user. In addition, it is possible to achieve closer communication with a specific user.

  In addition, it is also possible to use information according to the number of visits to the store as “user selection information for selecting a user who performs duet”. As a store manager, it is desirable for users to visit the store many times. As a motivation, it is conceivable to use the karaoke system 1 to provide information according to the number of visits to the store (a service for displaying avatars and comments of employees who can duet).

  In this case, the store manager sets a predetermined number of visits (for example, three times) in advance in the karaoke system 1.

  Here, when a certain user logs in to the karaoke system 1, the terminal display processing unit 31g compares the store visit history included in the user information of the user with a preset number of store visits.

  When it is determined that the store visit history is greater than the set number of store visits, the terminal display processing unit 31g displays the determined comment and the avatar corresponding to the employee on the user's mobile terminal.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the store visit history is less than the set number of store visits, the terminal display processing unit 31g does not display the determined comment and the avatar corresponding to the employee on the display screen of the user's mobile terminal.

  In this case, the store side can use the karaoke system 1 to provide a service that provides a motivation for the user to visit the store many times. In addition, since the avatar and the comment can be browsed according to the number of visits by the user side (it is easy to apply for a duet), the willingness to revisit the store is increased.

<Others>
It is also possible to change the display mode (facial expression, body shape, etc.) of the avatar itself based on the schedule information and the singing information together with the comment switching. For example, the avatar is displayed with an expression and gesture that seems to be boring during standby, and the avatar is displayed with an expression and gesture that seems to be fun during singing. Thus, by changing the display mode of the avatar, the user can more easily grasp the duet status of the employee. Therefore, smooth communication between employees and users can be achieved.

  Specifically, a plurality of parts information of the avatar is stored in the storage unit 31c. Each part information can be registered in association with a comment classification. For example, in FIG. 7, “Singing” and “Duet” are registered in the “Smiling” part, and “Singing” and “Duet end” are registered in the “Crying face” part. ing. The terminal display processing unit 31g selects a part registered in advance based on the schedule information and the singing information, and changes the display mode of the avatar.

  Furthermore, the change in the display mode of the avatar can be further devised by using the user information in the second embodiment.

  For example, it is assumed that there is an item of “employee favorite clothes” as user information. Here, when displaying an avatar on a mobile terminal of a user who has user information “preferring flashy clothes”, the terminal display processing unit 31g selects a flashy one from the avatar clothes data, The clothes data of the registered avatar is switched to another clothes data and displayed.

  Moreover, the comment determination part 313 may change a comment according to user information. For example, when deciding a predetermined comment from a comment group corresponding to “not singing” and “continue duet”, the comment determination unit 313 gives the user who visits the store a lot based on the user information. “Thank you for coming to the store. Please appoint me today.” A comment that considers the number of visits is determined as a predetermined comment.

  In addition, there are cases where a store with many employees has a plurality of employees who can duet in a certain time zone. In this case, there is a possibility that not all avatars and comments can be displayed on the display unit 35a for the remote controller or the display screen of the mobile terminal.

  In such a case, the terminal display processing unit 31g can devise display of an avatar or a comment. For example, the terminal display processing part 31g switches the avatar displayed for every fixed time. Or the terminal display process part 31g displays only the avatar corresponding to the employee who is waiting for singing.

  In addition, when the display of the avatar and the comment is determined in the second embodiment, the avatar and the comment are not displayed at all on the mobile terminal of the user who does not correspond to the user selection information even though the karaoke system 1 is logged in. There is also a possibility. Therefore, as a result of reducing the user's preference, there is a possibility that the visit to the store will be affected.

  Therefore, for a user who does not correspond to the user selection information, for example, the terminal display processing unit 31g may display a comment such as “no later duet at the next ○ visit” on the display unit of the mobile terminal. .

  It is also possible to set a duet time (start time and end time) in advance via the operation unit of the karaoke apparatus 3 or the like.

  In this case, the terminal display processing unit 31g causes the karaoke display unit 33 and the remote control display unit 35a to display a message indicating a time during which duet can be performed based on the time. Thereby, the user can grasp | ascertain the time slot | zone when a duet is possible.

  The above embodiment is presented as an example and does not limit the scope of the invention. The above configurations can be implemented in appropriate combination, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Those embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the invention described in the claims and equivalents thereof as well as included in the scope and gist of the invention.
