Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a karaoke system and a performance order setting method thereof. In particular, it relates to a karaoke system having two or more terminals for song reservation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a karaoke house, usually one group uses one karaoke system, so it is possible to adjust the order of reservations within the group. However, in a store where multiple groups of customers, such as pubs and snacks, alternate and sing, multiple groups use a single karaoke system.

Depending on the song desired by the customer,
When a video disc (LD) or a video CD is mounted on a player and played back, it is possible for the employees who perform this exchange work to adjust so that each group has an equal opportunity to sing. The work of adjusting the order in which the customers sing is performed by this employee is difficult. Further, it is difficult for an employee to replace the video disc (LD) or the video CD with a player.

For this reason, the auto changer is used to enable continuous performance. According to this auto changer, the replacement work by the employee is unnecessary. There is also a karaoke system for performing a karaoke performance using MIDI data or the like stored in a storage memory instead of a video disc (LD) or a video CD. Further, in this karaoke system, the song data (MIDI data, etc.) is distributed by communication from a central host computer or the like via a telephone line or the like. Regarding such a karaoke system, JP-A-5-35288 (G10K15 / 0
4), JP-A-6-130974 (G10K15 / 04), JP-A-6-10287
It is well known as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6 (G10H1 / 36) and the like.

And, in these karaoke systems,
It is general to store information about pre-played music pieces in a buffer and play the stored information in the order of storage. In other words, it is possible to reserve a performance song. Regarding the reservation of the karaoke system, JP-A-3-256287 (G11B27 / 1
0), JP-A-3-273279 (G09B15 / 00), JP-A-3-28307
It is disclosed in the publication No. 3 (G11B27 / 34) and the like and is well known.

By the way, if a particular person reserves a large number of songs at a time, other persons cannot sing.
It is necessary to control the performance order as needed, rather than simply performing the performance in the reserved order. As described above, if a karaoke system that does not require replacement work is used, there is no opportunity for employees to be involved in the performance order as in the conventional case, and there is a demand for a karaoke system that evenly distributes the performance order to each group.

Therefore, a method of inputting personal identification information such as a name of a person who made a reservation or a person who sings at the time of reserving a song can be considered, but a new problem arises that the reservation operation becomes complicated. Therefore, a karaoke system is proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-171498 (G10K15 / 04), in which a music reservation device is stored in each group and the order of singing is evenly distributed among the music reservation devices.

[0008]

In the karaoke system disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-171498, the order is equally assigned to each of the song reservation devices. But this is not appropriate. In other words, a large group and a small group are treated the same, and a group who wants to sing and a group who does not want to sing are treated the same, which is not appropriate.

Even if the reservation is made early, the music of the group reserved later may be played first. It is not appropriate if the reservation after this is very late. In addition, in this karaoke system, when a plurality of song reservation devices are entrusted to a group of a large number of people, if the song reservation devices to be reserved are different in this group of many people, even if the reservation is made earlier, the reservation will be made later. The song you played may be played first.

For this reason, even a group of many people can only store one song reservation device. The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and provides a karaoke system and a performance order setting method thereof for giving a plurality of groups an opportunity to sing in an appropriate order.

Further, the present invention relates to an improvement suitable for a karaoke system in which the performance order is set according to the reserved music input device.

In this apparatus, the operation panel A1 (B1) has an arrow key for controlling the cursor position, a numeric keypad used for reserving a performance song, each mode (display, reservation, change) key and a key for canceling and confirming the operation. It consists of 2 and 3 show the state of the display mode, and display portions A2 and B2
Indicates the order of scheduled performances.

Reference numeral 100 indicates from which terminal the reservation is made, A indicates that the reservation is made from the A terminal, and B indicates that the reservation is made from the B terminal. 101 is the scheduled performance order,
102 is a performance song number. In this example, next, the song number 1000, the next song number 1110, and the next song number 1020 are scheduled to be played.

The display of the songs No. 1000 and No. 1020 input from the terminal A is highlighted on the terminal A, and the display of the song No. 1110 input from the terminal B is highlighted on the terminal B. It distinguishes between terminals that have been reserved for performance on other terminals. Further, in the middle of the currently played song, a guide for the next song is displayed on the terminal (here, terminal A) reserved for the next performance schedule as shown in FIG.

That is, in the present application, the next piece of music to be played is
In the case of a song reserved on the A terminal, the display section A2 of the A terminal displays
Display this. As a result, the group using the terminal A is informed that the song to be played next is the song reserved by this group, and the mind to sing is prepared. As a method of canceling or changing, a conventionally used method may be used, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

When making a reservation, first, the reservation key 103
Press to enter the reservation mode, enter the music number using the ten-key pad 104, and press the execute key 105 to send a reservation command to the main body CPU for execution. Reservation can be changed only for those reserved by the same terminal. Press the change key 106 to change the mode to the change mode,
By selecting the change item using the cursor movement key 107 and pressing the execute key 105, the reservation change command is issued to the main body CPU.
Execute by sending to.

Next, the automatic reservation control will be described with reference to the time chart of FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the reservation status of the A terminal and the B terminal. Other terminals are not shown. From Terminal A, 8:10, 8:20
Minutes, 8:35, and 8:45 are reserved for 4 performances,
The corresponding songs have already been played for the two reservations in the first half, and the two reservations for the second half are currently reserved.

The terminal B makes a reservation once at 8:50. In this case, in the conventional case, since the remote control devices perform equally, the third reserved song at 8:35 of the A terminal, which has already been played twice, is performed after the reserved song of the B terminal. Should be. That is, within a predetermined time,
For example, after 8 o'clock, the number of times the terminal A has made a reservation (the frequency of performance) is much higher than that of the terminal B.

Therefore, conventionally, the order is set so that the third reserved music of the A terminal is played after the reserved music of the B terminal. However, in this embodiment, the performance order is set in consideration of the reserved time. That is, the reserved music for the terminal A is reserved at 8:35, and the reserved music for the terminal B is reserved at 10:50, which is 10 minutes later.

Therefore, the reserved song at 8:35 on the A terminal is
The scheduled performance order is set by the scheduled performance order control unit 7 so that the reserved music of terminal B at 8:50 is played first.
Further, the fourth reserved song of the A terminal is reserved at 8:45, and the reserved song of the B terminal is reserved within 10 minutes after that, at 8:50. Therefore, the scheduled performance order controller 7 changes the scheduled performance order so that the song reserved from the terminal B at 8:50 is played before the song reserved at the terminal A at 8:45.

This operation will be described with reference to the processing flow of FIG.
In STEP 1, the CPU 1 of the main body detects that there is a reservation (new reservation) from the terminal. In STEP 2, the information (tune number) corresponding to the reserved song title data, the reservation means identification information (terminal ID) indicating the terminal for which this reservation is made, and the time (reservation time) at which this reservation is made are set by the timer 4. Input analysis.

The performance scheduled sequence control section, in STEP 3, R
The current reservation number nn stored in AM6 is read.
The reserved number nn is the number of songs currently in the performance waiting state.
In STEPs 4 to 8, the newly reserved song and the song waiting to be played are compared in priority, and a replacement process is performed in which the song having the higher priority is played first. A flag indicating that the processing of changing the order is completed is set as a processing completion flag flag “1”.

When STEP3 is completed, STEP4 to STEP8
Since the performance order is changed, the processing end flag flag is set to "0". In STEP 4, it is determined whether nn is “0” or the processing end flag is “1”. If there is no song waiting to be played, nn is “0”, so STEP 4 returns “YE
"S", and in STEP 8, the performance order of the newly reserved music is the first.

If there is a piece of music waiting for performance, nn is not "0" and the processing end flag is set to "1" at the end of STEP3, so that STEP4 becomes "NO". In STEPS 5 to 7, the priority of the nnth song (the last song in the performance waiting state) and this newly reserved song are compared. In STEP 5, the reservation information (terminal ID, reservation time) of the nnth song, performance frequency information for the terminal (terminal ID), and the like are read from the RAM 6.

Further, performance frequency information for a newly reserved (terminal ID) is read from the RAM 6. STE
At P6, the priority is calculated from the information (terminal ID, reservation time, performance frequency information) on the nnth song. Also, the priority is calculated from the information (terminal ID, reservation time, performance frequency information) regarding the newly reserved music.

In STEP 7, the priority of the newly reserved music is compared with the priority of the nnth music, and if the nnth reservation has a high priority, the processing end flag is set to "1". . In other words, the nnth song (the last song in the performance waiting state) has a higher priority, so if the processing end flag is set to "1" here, it will be "NO" in STEP4.
The newly reserved song is the nn + 1th song.

In STEP 7, the priority of the newly reserved song is compared with the priority of the nnth song, and if the newly reserved song has a high priority, 1 is subtracted from this nn. . As a result, STEPs 4 to 7 operate again to compare the priorities of the nn-1th (one song before the last song in the performance waiting state) and this newly reserved song.

In this way, in STEPs 4 to 7, until a song having a higher priority than the newly reserved song appears,
These STEPs 4 to 7 are repeated, and nn becomes smaller successively. Then, when a song having a higher priority than the newly reserved song (nth song in the performance waiting state) is detected in STEP 7, the processing end flag is set to "1". And S
The newly reserved song is "NO" in TEP4.
In STEP 8, the music is inserted and arranged after the music having a higher priority than the newly reserved music (the nnth music in the performance waiting state).

In this embodiment, the priority is calculated each time. However, in the present application, when the newly reserved song and the nnth song are reserved from the same terminal (terminal ID
, The processing end flag may be set to “1” without performing the priority calculation processing. This is because, in this embodiment, the order is not changed for reservations from the same terminal.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the replacement work may be prohibited with respect to the tune which has already been informed that it is the next performance regardless of the priority. Further, in this embodiment, the display section and the operation section are integrated, but they may be separated. Further, the connection between the terminal and the main body may be wired or wireless.

By the way, the method of changing the scheduled performance order is not limited to the number of times of performance and the frequency of performance, but can be changed as appropriate. For example, it is easy to make a software change, such as determining a reservation priority between terminals according to the number of users. The karaoke system of the second embodiment for changing the priority will be described with reference to FIG.

The second embodiment operates similarly to the first embodiment. FIG. 7 shows the operation unit 20 which is a feature of this second embodiment.
Shown in The operation unit 20 is directly or indirectly connected to the karaoke body to change the setting of the performance schedule order control unit. When changing the settings, first, the terminal setting mode key-3
Press 00 to enter the terminal setting mode.

Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the state of each terminal is displayed on the display section 320. Then, the cursor movement key 30
1 to move the highlighted cursor 302 to the portion 306 to 315 displayed in the rectangular frame to be changed, enter a new value using the ten keys 303, and press the Enter key 30
Press 4 to change the setting.

In FIG. 7, the terminal A is lent to the first group of five people. Terminals B and C are rented out to a second group of 10 people. The D terminal is lent to the fourth group of three people. The E terminal is lent to a fifth group of 10 people. The performance schedule order control unit operates so that the reserved music is often played from the terminal as the number of people increases, that is, as the number of people using the terminal increases.

Therefore, the actual number of people in the group, the degree of demand,
By setting a value for this number of people in accordance with customer priority and the like, an appropriate performance order can be set. Also, B
By setting the same value as the identification data of the lending group of a plurality of terminals such as the terminal C and the terminal C, this B
The reservation from the terminal and the C terminal is treated in the same way as the reservation from one terminal. At this time, a display 316 is made to inform that the grouping is performed. In addition, since I grouped the adjacent terminal, it was displayed in a frame, but
Any display may be used as long as the pinged terminal can be identified.
