FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram for explaining an operation process of a responsive multi-handle-based audio system to which the present invention is applied, FIG. 2 is a diagram for schematically explaining an operation process of the responsive multi-handle- .

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the audio system of the present invention includes an audio mixer 100 and at least one user terminal 200.

The user terminal 200 is a communication terminal such as a smart phone, a tablet PC, a notebook PC, etc., possessed by at least one user located at a remote location. The user terminal 200 is connected to an audio mixer 100, and then performs a setting operation on various functions including the intensity, tone color, phase, and surround of the input sound source provided by the audio mixer 100 to control the operation of the audio mixer 100 . At this time, the network is a variety of currently known communication networks including wired / wireless Internet, bluetooth, beacon, Zigbee, WiFi and the like.

That is, the audio mixer 100 performs processing such as volume adjustment, mixing, and the like for each of the audio signals, such as music broadcast, voice broadcast, and emergency broadcast, input through the input port of the audio mixer 100, In the process of outputting to the broadcasting terminal, the user can perform the setting operation for various functions of the audio mixer 100 on the network using the user terminal 200 to control the operation.

Accordingly, without performing a direct operation on the spot of a broadcasting station or the like where the audio mixer 100 is installed, the user can obtain status information (also referred to as operation status information) of various functions of the audio mixer 100 at a remote place ) Can be freely changed and applied.

The user who controls the status information of the various functions of the audio mixer 100 at a remote site may be a user who has previously obtained an access right and has been authenticated in connection with device control, When performing communication connection to the audio mixer 100, it is preferable to perform user authentication using all known authentication methods including ID, password, biometric information, and the like. Also, the setting operation authority of each user which can control the operation of the audio mixer 100 at a remote place can be divided into a plurality of sets.

Users who remotely control various functions of the audio mixer 100 intuitively check the current operation state and state information of various functions of the audio mixer 100 displayed on the user terminal 200, The setting operation for various functions of the audio mixer 100 can be performed. If the user terminal 200 does not support the touch screen function, a setting operation for changing a specific function of the audio mixer 100 may be performed using a method of inputting text such as numbers or characters Of course.

The audio mixer 100 executes an application program or the like installed in the user terminal 200 to perform a setting operation for various functions of the audio mixer 100 located at a remote location, It checks whether or not the status information of the various functions of the audio mixer 100 has been changed by another authenticated user currently connected to the audio mixer 100. [

If the state information of the various functions is changed, the audio mixer 100 provides the changed information to the corresponding user terminal 200 through the network so that the user can immediately check the changed information. That is, it is checked whether the setting information about various functions of the audio mixer 100 currently known by the user connected to the audio mixer 100 has been changed by another user. For example, the confirmation of information changed by another user may be made by comparing status information of various functions of the audio mixer 100 at the previous connection time of the user with status information of various functions of the audio mixer 100 at the current connection time Lt; / RTI >

Then, the user terminal 200 transmits the setting operation data for changing the state information of the specific function according to the user's operation of confirming the setting information about the various functions changed by the control of the other user provided from the audio mixer 100 And transmits it to the audio mixer 100 (2).

This is one of the main features of the present invention. When a plurality of users simultaneously perform setting operations for various functions of the audio mixer 100, the time of accessing the audio mixer 100, The state information of the audio mixer 100 and the output information of the audio signal that are changed by other users while being connected to the audio mixer 100 are checked and confirmed, So that setting operations for various functions can be performed. The feature of the present invention for preventing duplication of setting operations for various functions of the audio mixer 100 through synchronization among users is defined as a responsive multi-handle.

Synchronization is performed in real time. When one user operates the audio mixer from the console or remotely, the result is immediately notified to the other user and the user performs the next operation based on the latest operation state information . If a plurality of users operate at almost the same time, it is preferable to set priorities by scheduling and operate them in order, and to provide the reference information (the information that the other party is in operation) to the other party waiting in the middle of the operation by the particular user Do. However, depending on the frequency with which the user operates, the user may not provide the reference information to the other party. This is determined by the frequency of the user's operation event, the time interval of occurrence of the event, the importance of the event (for example, the volume, the volume of the console display brightness is high in importance), or the like. And judges the operation intention. The detection of these events is an important guide in determining whether or not the user will operate the audio mixer. Therefore, the audio mixer determines the assignment of the operation right to the specific user by scheduling through the judgment of the behavior of the user.

On the other hand, when the setting operation data for changing the state information of a specific function is inputted from the user terminal 200 through the network, the audio mixer 100 performs a predetermined operation according to the setting operation of the specific function received from the user terminal 200 The state information is automatically changed through software processing, and the changed information is provided to all the user terminals currently connected to the audio mixer 100 as well as the user terminal under the control of the specific user (3).

The information changed by the control of a specific user provided to each user terminal 200 in the audio mixer 100 may include status information (e.g., changed gain, volume, intensity) set in the corresponding function of the audio mixer 100 Etc.), an audio signal adjusted according to the change of the status information, and the like.

The audio mixer 100 performs software processing based on setting operation data for changing state information of a specific function input from the user terminal 200 to change state information of a specific function desired by the user.

This is one of the main features of the present invention. The audio mixer 100 can change state information about a specific function desired by a user in the following two types of control methods.

First, when the audio mixer 100 is constituted by a digital switch or button (that is, in the case of an apparatus in which all functions are digitized by 100%), the previously set state information is stored Adjust it with changed status information and change it.

In addition, the audio mixer 100 is composed of analog switches or buttons (dial type, knob type, etc.), and has a display unit for displaying scale information related to numerical values around each switch or button (In other words, when some functions are digitized or analog), the state information change of the digitized function changes the previously set state information to the setting operation data inputted by the user, The scale information displayed on the display unit provided for each button is adjusted first and then the status information of the specific function is increased or decreased as a whole based on the adjusted scale information.

If an actuator for performing operations such as turning, elevating, and the like is provided on each switch or button constituting the audio mixer 100 in addition to the above-described two types of methods, the actuator is automatically driven Adjust the switch or button according to the setting operation data entered by the user. However, constructing an actuator for each switch or button is not usually applicable because it is expensive, requires a large size of the product, and is not easy to design.

Here, the function of the actuator is to provide power to change the analog or digital operation handle on the console when the specific setting value is changed remotely, for example, when the value set by the dial is remote To be automatically returned to the position.

Accordingly, it is possible to automatically change the setting operation for various functions that can not be performed in the conventional audio-based mixer implemented by the hardware-based analog method. Based on this, a plurality of users can simultaneously change setting information As well as users who are not familiar with audio mixers. The value set remotely appears in the console and is updated in real time on the console GUI of multiple users.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the audio mixer 100 of FIG. 1 in more detail. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a software processing procedure for an analog control method performed by the automatic status information changing unit 160 of FIG. And FIG.

3, the audio mixer 100 includes an audio input unit 110, an audio processor 120, a communication interface unit 130, a user authentication unit 140, a setting operation confirmation unit 150, A status information automatic changing unit 160, a display unit 170, an information providing unit 180, an audio output unit 190, and the like. The audio mixer 100 further includes a power unit for supplying operation power to the respective components, a storage unit for storing and managing various programs for operating the audio mixer 100 and setting values for various functions, and the like .

The audio input unit 110 converts various audio sources input to the audio mixer 100 into various formats such as an IP network, a cable, a USB memory, and a microphone, and outputs the audio signals to the audio processor 120.

The audio processor 120 performs signal processing and mixing operations of various audio sources input from the audio input unit 110 and outputs a signal processed and mixed audio source to the audio output unit 190 according to each channel .

The audio processor 120 may also be configured to authenticate a user of the user terminal 200 connected at a remote site through the communication interface 130 and to confirm the setting operation data for changing various functions received from the user terminal 200 And automatically provides status information on the basis of the information, and provides information according to the setting operation of the audio mixer 100 changed by the control of another user.

The communication interface unit 130 may include user authentication information, user authentication information for setting a communication connection through the network, setting operation data for changing various functions provided by the audio mixer 100, And information related to the function of the audio mixer 100 changed by the user.

The user authentication unit 140 requests user authentication information to the user terminal 200 that has made a communication connection to the audio mixer 100 through the network and transmits the user authentication information to the user terminal 200 And performs authentication based on authentication data input from the user. At this time, the authentication data may use any known authentication data including ID and password, biometric information such as iris and fingerprint, or a combination thereof.

Also, the user authentication unit 140 can set and operate the setting operation right of the audio mixer 100 for each user connected to the communication. That is, the right of the function setting operation of the audio mixer 100 is differently applied to each user, so that the user having a higher authority can control various functions of the audio mixer 100 on the network.

The setting operation confirmation unit 150 confirms the setting operation data for changing the specific function of the audio mixer 100 transmitted from the user terminal 200 through the communication interface unit 130, To the status information automatic changing unit 160. [

At this time, the setting operation data for changing the specific function to be confirmed by the setting operation confirmation unit 150 may be input from the user terminal 200 or the audio mixer 100 by touch screen input, And data input through a method including a combination of these.

The state information automatic changing unit 160 automatically changes the state information of the specific function based on the setting operation data confirmed by the setting operation confirming unit 150. [ That is, the state information automatic changing unit 160 supports each function setting operation of the audio mixer 100 performed simultaneously by at least one user terminal 200 connected through a network.

At this time, when the state information automatic changing unit 160 automatically changes the state information of the specific function through the software processing based on the setting operation data checked by the setting operation confirming unit 150, the audio mixer 100 detects digital A switch, a button, or a combination thereof, the previously set state information is adjusted and changed to the changed state information according to the set operation data.

When the state information automatic changing unit 160 automatically changes state information of a specific function through software processing based on the setting operation data checked by the setting operation confirming unit 150, A switch, a button, or a combination thereof, the scale information displayed on the display unit 170 provided in each switch or button of a specific function is adjusted first according to the setting operation data inputted by the user, The state information of the function is increased or decreased as a whole based on the adjusted scale information.

For example, assuming that the user inputs setting operation data for reducing the gain value of the audio source output to a specific channel from 50 to 5, the state information automatic changing unit 160 may directly change the gain value The scale information displayed on the display unit 170 provided on one side of the button for adjusting the gain value as shown in FIG. 4 (a) is adjusted as shown in FIG. 4 (b) Then, the state information of the gain value is entirely reduced in accordance with the setting operation data input by the user, thereby changing the gain value. That is, in the console the scale can be implemented as a display and the dial or knob can be manipulated in hardware so that when the indication value for the dial or knob is set to a specific value remotely, Instead of moving, change only the scale value so that the knob and scale actually have the same effect as the updated value.

The display unit 170 includes a conventional LCD panel, an LED, and the like, and displays various status information of the audio mixer 100.

In this case, it is preferable that the display unit 170 is provided at a specific position of the device and displays status information of each function in a clear manner. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, And scale information for the corresponding function can be displayed.

The information providing unit 180 provides information according to the setting operation of the audio mixer changed by the control of the other user terminal 200 currently connected to the at least one user terminal 200 connected to the audio mixer 100 Function. The scale display is controlled by the software and can be integrated into the dial or knob or provided on the console panel, depending on the type, type and style of the dial or knob. One of which may be selectively constructed or combined.

In the console panel, a ruler for each function of the audio mixer can be drawn. For example, if the ruler is left as it is and the numerical value of the ruler is changed, the same effect as that of the set value can be displayed. The setting value is easily updated in the console.

The information provided to each user terminal 200 through the communication interface 130 in the information providing unit 180 may include operation state information set for each function of the audio mixer 100, The audio signal adjusted according to the change, or a combination thereof.

The audio output unit 190 outputs an audio signal for each channel, which performs signal processing and mixing operations in the audio processor 120, to a broadcast equipment connected to a subsequent stage.

5 is a diagram showing the configuration of the user terminal 200 of FIG. 1 in more detail.

5, the user terminal 200 includes an application driving unit 210, a communication interface unit 220, an authentication performing unit 230, an information checking unit 240, a setting operation unit 250, 260).

The application driving unit 210 confirms the operation of the user and drives an application program installed in the user terminal 200 to establish a communication connection with the audio mixer 100. The application driving unit 210 performs various communication functions provided by the audio mixer 100 To perform a setting operation for the user.

The communication interface unit 220 is connected to the audio mixer 100 communicated through a network, user authentication information, setting operation data for changing various functions provided by the audio mixer 100, And performs data transmission / reception with respect to the changed function-specific information and the like of the audio mixer 100.

The authentication performing unit 230 transmits authentication data, such as an ID, a password and biometric information, input by a user at the request of the audio mixer 100 communicatively connected via a network to the audio mixer (100).

The information verifying unit 240 verifies that the audio mixer 100 has been changed from the audio mixer 100 that has performed user authentication through the communication interface 220 to the audio mixer 100, The user can immediately check whether or not there is a change in the control state of each function of the audio mixer 100 by another user and display it on the screen So that the setting operation for the specific function can be performed by the user in a state in which the setting operation for the specific function is not duplicated.

The setting operation unit 250 transmits setting operation data for changing a specific function input by a user who has confirmed the control status of each function of the audio mixer 100 by another user displayed on the information checking unit 240, (220) to the audio mixer (100).

The controller 260 controls the operations of the components.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a method of operating a responsive multi-handle based audio system according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. It is noted that the steps according to the method of the present invention may be changed in the use environment or the order of those skilled in the art.

As a result of the determination in step S400, if there is the setting operation information for various functions changed by another user, the audio mixer 100 provides the changed information to the user terminal 200 via the network, (S500). That is, the information including the operation state information set for each function of the audio mixer 100 changed by the control of the currently connected other user terminal 200, the audio signal adjusted according to the change of the operation state information, To the user terminal (200).

Accordingly, when a plurality of users simultaneously perform setting operations on the various functions of the audio mixer 100, the status information of the audio mixer 100, which is changed by another user connected to the audio mixer 100, And output information of the audio signal are immediately received and confirmed, it is possible to perform setting operation for various functions of the audio mixer 100 while preventing duplication of setting operation between users.

The audio mixer 100 provides the user terminal 200 with status information and audio signal output information for various functions changed by another user connected to the audio mixer 100 through step S500 It is determined whether setting operation data for changing a specific function of the audio mixer 100 is inputted from the user terminal 200 (S600).

If the setting operation data for changing the specific function of the audio mixer 100 is input from the user terminal 200 as a result of the determination in step S600, the audio mixer 100 determines that the specific function received from the user terminal 200 (S700), the status information of the corresponding function is automatically changed through software processing based on the setting operation data for the function.

Thereafter, the audio mixer 100 transmits result information including the status information of the audio mixer 100 changed by the control of the specific user, the output information of the audio signal adjusted by the state information change, and the like to the current audio mixer To all the user terminals 200 connected to the network 100 so that each user can immediately check the changed information (S800).

Then, the audio mixer 100 confirms the input of the setting operation data for changing the state information of the specific function of the audio mixer 100 until the communication connection of the user terminal 200 is terminated, (S900).

As described above, since at least one user can simultaneously perform setting operations for various functions of the audio mixer on the network, it is inconvenient for a specific user to directly perform setting operations on various functions in front of the audio mixer to change the status information And it is possible to quickly set various functions of the audio mixer at a place where the user is currently located without restriction on the space.

In addition, since the user performing the setting operation for the various functions of the audio mixer can immediately check the operation state information of the audio mixer and the output information of the audio signal that are changed by other users, The setting operation for the function can be performed.

In addition, since the audio mixer checks the setting operation of various functions inputted through the network and automatically changes the state information through software processing, it is possible to perform various functions that can not be performed in the audio mixer implemented in the conventional hardware- Automatic control of setting operation is possible.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, I will understand the point. Accordingly, the technical scope of the present invention should be determined by the following claims.
