They have created and used books and sheets in which the disc positions corresponding to the song titles and singer names are written numerically or in barcodes. Further, these are created and used by each manufacturer of discs such as CDs and LDs.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In conventional autochangers, the song selection data is a book or sheet with a 50-tone arrangement for each manufacturer, making it difficult to change, delete, and save the software on CDs and LDs, and it is difficult to register, change, and save the software. When using a keyboard, it is easy for those with computer experience to use the keyboard, but it is very difficult for those without experience or knowledge of computers, and it is very difficult to input using keys. The disadvantage was that it took a lot of time.

The present invention allows even those without experience or knowledge of computers to create, add, or delete data compatible with the autochanger by simply operating buttons at any time, and the data can be dazzlingly rewritten and the songs displayed on the display device. The system uses selection data such as karaoke, etc. to perform a karaoke performance or the like.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention stores CDs and LDs in the disc storage of the autochanger that plays and plays them, operates the operation panel, reads the character data recorded in the CD software, sends it to the storage device, and saves the character data to the storage medium. Write disk position.

The autochanger body includes a control device with CPtJ, a memory for temporarily storing data, a character data reading device for reading character data in the software to be played, and a character data reading device for controlling reading of the character data. A reading controller, a disk storage for storing software such as multiple CDs to be played, a disk storage controller for controlling it, a disk storage controller for taking out the disk from the disk storage, setting it in the playback device, and reading the data on the disk. A disc tray that stores a disc for playing the disc, a disc tray controller that controls the disc tray, a performance device that plays the disc in the disc tray, and a storage device that writes data from the memory to a storage medium. , a storage medium for recording data corresponding to the storage device, a storage device controller for controlling the storage device and the storage medium, and a front panel of the autochanger body for executing the processing. It has an operation panel, an operation controller for controlling the operation panel, and a display device for displaying data.

These are linked via the CPU to a controller that controls each operation and a memory that stores the controlled state.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, first, all software such as CDs to be subjected to data creation (new registration and additional registration) are stored in the disk storage of the autochanger main body.

At this time, the values may be placed randomly regardless of the manufacturer. By operating the data creation execution on the operation panel on the front panel of the autochanger, the CPU detects the data creation signal and gives a series of instructions to the memory, each controller, and each device, and then
The software is loaded from the disc storage into the disc tray and played, the character data and disc position are sent to the storage device, and the data are sequentially written to the storage medium.

It is possible to create data (new registration and additional registration) for the autochanger itself that is compatible with CD software.

In addition, the process of deleting the data recorded on the disc and storage medium of software such as CDs in which data has been registered is performed by operating the data deletion execution panel on the front of the autochanger main body, and the CP L+ is activated by the data deletion signal. It detects that there is a disk number, gives a disk number from the deletion key, checks whether the disk number input from the key exists in the data in the storage medium, and if it exists, deletes all data corresponding to that number. The software is stored in a disc storage, the software is transferred from the disc storage to the disc tray, the disc tray is opened, and the disc of software such as a CD is removed from the autochanger main body.

Data deletion processing compatible with autochangers compatible with software such as CDs can be performed.

Even those with no experience or knowledge of computers can perform the desired process by using the keys on the operation panel on the front panel of the autochanger to execute each process according to the instructions on the display.

Compared to books or sheets that list song titles, singer names, and disc locations, data can be created or deleted without going through the process of printing, binding, etc., and by operating keys on the operation panel that are shown on the display device of the operation panel. By doing so, data to be displayed can be created and software such as CDs can be registered and deleted.

-' - The disc is transferred to the disc tray 14, the disc tray 14 is opened, and since the disc on the disc tray 14 is the CD software to be deleted, the disc is deleted from the disc tray (S810). Also,
If the CPU 301 detects that the data has not been deleted in step 5809, this means that the data was not deleted from the storage media device 6 because the disk number input did not exist, and the CPU 301 returns to step 5809.
-5808 are performed.

So-called, first, all the data of the disk to be deleted stored in the storage medium 16 is deleted, and then the disk itself is removed from the main body of the auto-change roller, and the deletion process is performed.

After deleting the disk (S8] 0), step 5802
The process returns to step 5802 and executes the entire process from step 5802 onwards.

In step 5802, if no input is made within the time period, the deletion process is terminated.

Next, the deletion process of interactively deleting text while displaying characters on the display device will be explained with reference to FIG.

The control device of the autochanger l has a ROM 18 storing characters and kanji, fonts 19 for them, and an operation panel 2 for operating them.

The operation panel is the operation panel 2 shown in FIG. 1, and includes a manual disk number designation button 3, a deletion execution button 6 for executing deletion processing, and a display device for displaying information on each operation. Consists of W7.

The explanation will be given according to the flow of deletion processing shown in FIG. In the process of FIG. 9, the functional steps 5801-3810, which are equivalent to the flow of the deletion process of FIG. 8, have been described above, so newly provided steps 5901-5904 will be explained.

The process in step 5901 is performed when the CPU 301 sends a signal to the ROM 18, which stores characters and kanji for the control device shown in FIG. Those fonts19. Via the operation controller 303, a message such as "Do you want to perform deletion processing?" is displayed on the display device 7 on the operation panel 2, and the CPU 301 performs the processing from the next step 5802. If in step 5803 no key effort has been made within said time, step 581)
After performing this, the CPU 301 sends a signal and causes the display device 7 to display a message such as "The deletion process has been completed" via the controllers, etc. (S905).
), completes the series of operations.

In the process in step 5902, the CPU 301 sends a signal to the ROMI 8. Font 19. Via the operation controller 303, the display device 7 displays a message such as "Please specify the disk number to be deleted" for inputting the disk number to be deleted. Steps 3804 to 5809 are executed as described above, and step 5809
The CPU 301 determines that data has not been deleted.
When the data is deleted, there is no corresponding data to be deleted, so a message such as "There is no corresponding data to be deleted 1" is displayed on the display device 7 (S903), and step 59
Returning to step 02, steps 8902 to 5809 are repeated. In step 5809, if the CPU 301 determines that data has been deleted from the storage medium 16, the CPU 301
301 sends a signal to ROMI 8. Those fonts19. Via the operation controller 303, the display tray controller 305 pulls out the CD software 10 corresponding to the disk number from the disk storage 8 and sends it to the disk tray 14 on the display device M7 on the operation panel. Remove the disk from the changer 2. (S904), and displays a message such as Disc Tray 1 (S904).

Next, a display mechanism for displaying the storage status of CD software will be explained.

The control device shown in FIG. 10 includes a storage lamp controller 1) 1, a storage lamp 1) 2, a front panel lamp controller 121, and a front panel lamp 122, and a pilot lamp shown in the disk storage in FIG. 1I. 131, an input check clamp 141 of the front panel 140 in FIG. 12, and a disc check clamp 142,
A read check clamp 143, a write check clamp 144, and a guide label 145 for these are provided on the autochanger.

In the registration process, 1) the disk storage 8 shown in FIG.
A pilot lamp 131 for checking is provided at the front of the box in which the ~nth discs are stored one by one. This is a pilot lamp for detecting which disc in the storage is currently stored in the disc tray and is being registered.

First, the detection of whether all the 1st to nth CD software are stored in the disc storage is performed in response to the process of storing all the CD software to be registered in the storage in step 5401 of the registration process in the first to third embodiments. For example, if you accidentally store 21 of 50 CD software in the 1st to 21st disc storage areas, and 29 CD software to the 23rd to 51st disc storage areas, then the disc storage Warehouse number 22 will be vacant.

When there is an empty disc storage box by mistake, a CD software registrant is notified by lighting or blinking a lamp on the front of the disc storage box with the corresponding number.

In FIG. 10, the control device 1)0 receives a signal from the CPU 301 via the disk storage controller 304 of the control device,
When the CPU 301 searches for a number where no CD software is stored in the disc storage and detects that no disc is stored, the CPU 301 sends the unstored number of the storage lamp 1) 2 via the storage lamp controller II. Turn on or flash the pilot lamp.

To detect that CD software is stored in the disc tray 310 and that the disc is being registered, the CPU 301 sends a signal to detect, via the storage controller 304, a number in which no CD software is stored in the disc storage. .

In addition, a maximum of m CD software can be stored in the disc storage, but in reality n discs may be stored in the disc storage.The CPU 301 sends a signal via the disc storage controller 304 to The number of needles 4 is detected and held in the n memory with the maximum storage capacity, and it is detected where within the n number of sheets the storage is empty (or not stored).

It has been explained that in the registration process, it is detected whether the CD software 10 is stored in the disc tray 310. Therefore, the CPU 301
If it is detected that the CD software 10 is stored in the storage area 0, and if it is detected that there are no discs stored within the maximum of n discs in the disc storage number ↓, the CPU 301 sends the storage lamp controller 1) to Light up or flash the warehouse number.

In the deletion process, which CD software 1 is currently used in the above embodiment?
This is a pyro nodramp to detect whether 0 is to be deleted. The CPU 301 sends a signal via the disk storage controller 304 of the control device to determine which CD software 10 in the disk storage 8 is to be deleted.
Let U301 detect it. When the CPU 301 detects which CD software 10 is to be deleted, the CPU 301 sends a signal via the storage lamp controller 1)1.
The storage lamp 1) 2 at the location corresponding to the storage storage number is turned on or blinks.

A front baffle 140 shown in FIG. 12 is provided at the front of the main body of the autochanger 1. This front panel 140
These include an input check clamp 141 that lights up or flashes when there is an invalid button input or voice input, and a disc check clamp 142 that lights up or flashes when the target CD software 10 is stored in the disc tray 14. and a reading check clamp 143 for lighting or blinking when character data in the CD software 10 stored in the disc tray 14 is being read or character data stored in the storage medium 16 is being read. , a write check lamp 14 for lighting or blinking when writing to the storage medium 16 or deleting data from the storage medium 16;
4, and a guide label 14 corresponding to the check clamp mentioned above.
5.

During registration/deletion, button input or voice input is performed on the input check clamp, but if the CPU 301 determines that it is invalid, the front panel lamp controller 121
Sends a signal through the light to turn it on or blink.

When the target CD software 10 is not stored in the disc tray 14, the CPU 301 sends a signal to cause the disc check clamp 142 on the front panel to light up or blink via the front panel lamp controller 121. When this state occurs, CD software 0 is newly selected and placed in the disc tray 14.

In the registration process, the read check clamp 143 reads the character data on the disk, stores it in the memory 302, and the CPU 301 sends a signal to turn on the read check clamp on the front panel 140 via the front panel lamp controller 121. Or make it blink. In addition, in the deletion process, the character data (disc number) in the storage medium is read and held in the memory, and the CPU 30
1 sends the signal, front panel lamp controller 1
