The present invention relates to an audio system, and more particularly, to an audio system capable of registering a user's preferred audio data from a plurality of CDs / DVDs corresponding to a plurality of presets, and playing back the registered preferred audios using the preset. It relates to a preferred audio management method using a preset.

In general, an audio system has a radio, cassette player, and disc player function and receives and outputs a radio, plays back audio stored in a cassette, or plays back audio data stored on a CD / DVD.

In addition, in recent years, a plurality of CDs and / or DVDs (hereafter referred to as CD and DVD collectively use “disc”) can be inserted, and audio and / or video recorded on a plurality of inserted discs can be inserted. Audio systems are being released that can play and have the ability to play MP3 files stored on disks.

As described above, since a large number of discs are inserted in a recent audio system, tens to hundreds of songs may be reproduced depending on the format of digital audio data. However, since many discs are inserted in the CD / DVD deck and can play up to hundreds of songs, the user has to listen to many songs before listening to his or her favorite song, or spend a lot of time searching for a favorite song.

In order to solve this problem, an audio system having a mark function in an audio system has been developed and released. The mark function refers to recording of audios selected by a specific key, for example, a mark key, into internal storage, during playback of audios stored on discs inserted into a CD / DVD deck. This is the function to play and listen to the songs stored in.

However, the mark function can sequentially store audio data selected by the user and play only sequentially according to the stored order. Therefore, when there is a lot of audio data stored by the mark function, the preferred audio data can be heard among the registered audio data. In order to do this, it is inconvenient to listen to all audio data registered before the corresponding audio data.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to classify and store audio preferences of a user from a plurality of discs corresponding to a plurality of presets, and to use a preset of an audio system capable of reproducing classified audios using a preset. To provide a management method.

Store in the corresponding preset mark storage area. The upper address of each preset mark storage area is allocated a preset identifier and a preset classification name storage area. Each of the regions may be divided into the same capacitance, or may be variably divided.

The display unit 40 is a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a touch screen under the control of the controller 10 to display an operation state and various information of the audio system. When the display unit 40 is a touch screen, the display unit 40 displays a plurality of buttons for controlling the operation of the audio system. In particular, the display unit 40 displays mark buttons and preset buttons for setting the mark function according to the present invention. , And outputs the coordinate values (hereinafter referred to as "command") for the touched button to the controller 10. In the case of a touch screen, the display unit 40 displays the preference, genre, or singer name on the preset button under the control of the controller 10.

The key input unit 50 includes a plurality of keys for the user to set various functions of the audio system or to control operations, and controls key data (hereinafter referred to as "commands") of keys pressed by the user among the keys. Output as (10). In particular, the key input unit 50 includes a mark key 51 for setting a mark function and a plurality of preset keys 52-1, 52-2, 52-3 ... 52-n.

Under the control of the control unit 10, the disc player unit 60 reads audio recorded on discs inserted into a disc deck, that is, a CD / DVD deck, and outputs the audio to the audio processing unit 70 or the control unit 10.

The audio processor 70 converts digital audio data input from the disc player unit 60 into analog audio under the control of the controller 10, performs audio processing such as an audio volume level, and outputs the same through a speaker.

The controller 10 controls the overall operation of the audio system according to the present invention. In particular, the control unit 10 controls the audio data currently being reproduced through the disc player unit 60 according to the mark command for setting the mark function and the preset command from the key input unit 50 or the display unit 40 (in the case of the touch screen). To store in the second storage unit 30 corresponding to the preset. In addition, the controller 10 reads audio data from the region of the second storage unit 30 corresponding to the preset pressed by the user during audio reproduction by the mark function, and outputs the audio data to the disc player 60 or the audio processor 70. do. In addition, when the display unit 40 is a touch screen, the controller 10 receives a genre or a singer name from a user when storing audio data by setting a mark function, and displays the input genre or singer name. It is displayed on the corresponding preset button displayed on.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a preferred audio management method using a preset of an audio system according to the present invention. 1 and 2, a case in which the display unit 40 is a touch screen and the audio is MP3 will be described as an example.

First, the controller 10 checks whether a mark command is input from the key input unit 50 or the display unit 40 in step 211.

When the mark command is input in step 211, the controller 10 checks whether the mark command is input for a predetermined time or more in step 213.

If it is determined in step 213 that the mark command is input for a predetermined time or more, the control unit 10 proceeds to step 217. The general mark function is to sequentially store the audio selected by the user in the second storage unit 30 without being classified by the preset.

The control unit 10 proceeds to step 217 to check whether the preset classification name is set by checking the second storage unit 30, and proceeds to step 221 if the preset classification name is set, or if the preset classification name is not set. Proceed to 219.

In step 221, the controller 10 reads the preset classification name set for each preset in the region for each preset of the second storage unit 30 and displays it on the preset button displayed on the display unit 40. . On the other hand, the controller 10 proceeds to step 219 and performs the preset classification name setting routine by the user and proceeds to step 221. Step 219 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3 to be described later.

In the above-described embodiment, the process of displaying the preset classification name on the preset button through the steps 217 to 221 has been described. However, the process may be performed without the steps 217 to 221. However, in order to manage the user's favorite audio, that is, the favorite MP3 file more conveniently, it may be desirable to display the preset classification name on the preset button.

When the preset classification name is displayed in step 221, the controller 10 proceeds to step 223 to determine whether a preset command for a specific preset key or button is input from among the plurality of preset keys or buttons from the key input unit 50 or the display unit 40. Check it.

If a specific preset command is input in step 223, the controller 10 proceeds to step 227 to check whether the preset command is input for a predetermined time or more, and if the specific preset command is not input for a predetermined time, proceeds to step 225 to play a general mark. Perform the function. The general mark reproduction function is a function of sequentially reproducing audio stored in the second storage unit 30 regardless of the preset mark storage area.

If the preset command is input for a predetermined time in the inspection of step 227, the controller 10 determines whether the audio of the disc is being played through the disc player 60 in step 231.

On the other hand, if a preset command is input within the predetermined time, the process proceeds to step 229 where the audio stored in the mark storage area of the second storage unit 30 corresponding to the input preset command is read, that is, the MP3 file is read. )

As a result of the determination in step 231, when the disc audio is being played, the controller 10 proceeds to step 233 and reads the MP3 file for the audio being played through the disc player 60, that is, the MP3 audio being played, and the second storage unit ( 30) to the corresponding preset mark storage area.

However, if the disc audio is not playing in step 231, the control unit 10 proceeds to step 235 to allow the user to select a disc and audio to play, and if the disc and audio to play is selected, after playing the audio selected in step 237. The MP3 file being played is stored in the preset mark storage area. In the above description, the selected disc and the audio are configured to be played after being stored. However, the selected MP3 file may be directly stored in the corresponding preset mark storage area without being played. In addition, the mark function according to the present invention may be performed only when a preset is input when the disc audio is reproduced without performing the steps 231, 235, and 237. In addition, if the user wants to select the audio to be stored after outputting a message asking the user whether to select the audio to be stored even when the disc audio is being played, the corresponding audio of the second storage unit 30 is separately selected. It can also be configured to store in the preset mark storage area.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a preset classification name setting method according to the present invention. A description with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3 is as follows.

The controller 10 checks whether a preset classification name input event occurs in step 311. The preset classification name input event is generated when a user inputs a preset classification name input command through the key input unit 50 or the display unit 40 or determines whether to set the preset classification name in step 217 of FIG. 2.

If a preset classification name input event occurs in step 311, the controller 10 proceeds to step 313 to display a preset designation request message on the display 40, and in step 315 for a specific preset key among a plurality of preset keys or buttons. It checks to see if a preset is specified by checking if a preset command is entered.

If a specific preset is designated in step 315, the controller 10 displays a preset classification name input window on the display unit 40 in step 317, and checks whether a preset category name storage command is input in step 319.

When the preset classification name is input in step 319, the controller 10 stores the preset classification name input in the preset classification name input window in the corresponding preset area of the second storage unit 30. At this time, if the preset classification name is not input, it is stored as a default preset classification name, for example, "first preset" or "preset 1".

Meanwhile, in the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be determined not only by the scope of the following claims, but also by the equivalents of the claims.

As described above, the present invention has a merit of providing convenience to a user because a large number of audios recorded on a plurality of discs can be stored and reproduced by a user's preference, genre, and singer.
