Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a smart multi-sound control integrated system and method,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method or system for collecting sound data from multiple sounds using a sound control console connected to a network through a plurality of smart terminals configured as a smart device, Receives a sound data from a plurality of smart devices equipped with a microphone such as a smart phone, and transmits the sound data to a sound control console composed of a tablet PC or a notebook PC, and the sound control console controls the selection of a specific sound terminal, A system for providing sound data control and integrated services by integrating the sound data according to the sound control method specified for the sound data received from the selected sound terminal and then outputting the sound data to the speaker or transmitting the sound data to another device ≪ / RTI >

In the present specification, an 'acoustic terminal' is a terminal system connected to a sound control console through a network and capable of transmitting and receiving data. The acoustic terminal is composed of one or more hardware systems and software such as a PC, a smart phone, a mobile phone, and a tablet PC. The audio terminal may be provided with additional software, and may further include an audio output device such as a display or a speaker, an input device such as a touch pad, a keyboard, and a mouse. In addition, it may further include an interface for connecting auxiliary input devices such as Bluetooth.

A 'sound control console' is a system connected to a plurality of sound terminals via a network, receives sound data from the plurality of sound terminals, and processes sound control and integration according to a designated method. Typically, a sound control console is used by a sound control expert who manages sound control and integration. The sound control console is composed of at least one hardware system and software such as a PC, a smart phone, and a tablet PC. The sound control console may further include an output device such as a display or a speaker, and an input device such as a microphone or a touch pad keyboard. The sound control console includes wired or wireless network means and maintains connections with a plurality of acoustic terminals.

Throughout this specification, 'performer' refers to a person using a microphone in a broadcast or performance stage. Although it is explicitly designated as a person, in the present specification, it is proper to broaden the scope to a subject who makes a sound with a specific sound apparatus or musical instrument.

In the present specification, 'sound control' may simply be a degree of volume control for a specific sound, but is not limited thereto. That is, a special processing such as adjusting the acoustic balance of a specific range or removing a sound of a specific range or synthesizing a specific sound or modifying the voice itself. It can also be adjusted by a method of inserting a watermark sound or removing a watermark sound. 'Sound control' can be specified including both the method of sound deformation and the degree of volume control. The method specified here is referred to as the 'sound control method'. The sound control can be specified by a combination of at least one of the above methods and the degree of control.

In this specification, the sound control is performed in the sound control console. In the sound control console, the sound control for the input sound received from each sound terminal and the sound control for the output sound are performed in two steps.

Generally, each performer uses a microphone in a broadcasting stage or a performance stage, and uses a multi-sound control system for processing acoustic signals inputted from a plurality of microphones. In a sound control system that receives and processes sound signals from a plurality of performers using a microphone, it is very important to select whether to individually control sound signals received from respective microphones or output individual sounds. It is also important to adjust the sound for the output sound.

Conventional acoustic consoles are composed of HW console devices that control the sound signals received from multiple microphones and microphones. Microphones usually have independent power sources. The console device has a terminal for connecting a plurality of microphones, and each has a switch for selecting the microphone of the input microphone and a switch for selecting the microphone input. The console device further includes a terminal capable of outputting a combined sound and has an acoustic control device capable of adjusting an output sound.

Wired microphones have been widely used as instruments for performances. An independent power supply is used, and batteries are often used. It is difficult to use it if it is a concert where many performers need to move freely because the line is used continuously.

A wireless microphone that allows free movement of performers consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The wireless microphone transmitter corresponds to the microphone itself, uses a separate power source, and transmits a sound signal using a frequency such as FM. The receiver of the wireless microphone is configured to receive the acoustic signal and then transmit the acoustic signal to the control console device connected by wire.

Wireless microphones are composed of a limited number of microphones in a single receiver, and usually two channels or less are supported in a single receiver.

Microphones and sound console devices used in broadcasting and performances are distributed at various prices in connection with quality, etc., and the number of physical microphones is limited do.

The sound integrated control technique in such existing performances usually has a limited number of microphones that can be simultaneously supported, and the cost increases as the number of microphones increases.

Because it supports a limited number of microphones, the performer must share the microphone and use precise preparation to effectively share the microphone among the performers.

The existing technology is inconvenient for the separate power source used for the microphone, and it takes a lot of time and effort to install and test the microphone and sound equipment which are kept every time when performing or broadcasting.

The present invention relates to an acoustic terminal for receiving and transmitting a plurality of sounds in a relatively easy manner by using a widely-used smart device and communication means such as WIFI, Bluetooth, and LTE and receiving sound data from the sound terminal, This paper proposes a system and a technical method to control the output sound. In other words, based on a universalized data network, a system and a method for replacing existing technology are proposed by equipping devices such as a smart phone, a tablet PC, a PC and the like, which are already widely used in the market, and an acoustic SW.

For example, a system in which a plurality of performers located on a stage perform in front of spectators of the audience can be assumed.

Each performer executes a SW that performs an acoustic terminal function on their own smartphone and performs a performance using a microphone provided in the own smartphone. At this time, the smartphone of the performer becomes the acoustic terminal. In the acoustic terminal, the SW receives the voice of the performer as sound data through the microphone. The SW transmits the received sound data to a sound control console connected to the network.

The sound control console usually functions as a sound control console SW by being operated on devices such as a PC, a laptop PC, a tablet PC, a smart phone, and a PC. The sound manager provides an interface for controlling the sound, and the controlled sound is output to an output device such as a speaker.

If the performer is playing the musical instrument, the sound played from the musical instrument inputs micro sound data of the acoustic terminal composed of the smartphone of the performer, and transmits it to the sound control console.

The sound control console can be divided into separate loudspeakers that can be exported or integrated, or it can be stored as a separate sound file or transmitted to other devices using network means.

It is a problem to be solved by the present invention to provide a technical method for anyone to easily create a performance environment by using a microphone attached to the own smart device in accordance with the future development of the smart device and the network.

In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a sound processing apparatus and a sound processing method which process a plurality of sound data by using a plurality of smart device-based sound terminals and corresponding sound control consoles, This paper proposes a smart sound control integration method and system.

In order to construct a smart sound control integrated system, it is necessary to create and apply an optimized SW together with a configuration of a plurality of sound terminals, a sound control console, a network environment, and the like.

The acoustic terminal allows all performance performers to use their own independent terminal systems. A smart phone can be a good acoustic terminal. Instead of a smart phone, a mobile PC, a wearable computer, a tablet PC, or the like can be installed and operated, and a microphone having its own microphone, a microphone using a Bluetooth device or the like or an acoustic input device equivalent thereto must be provided.

The sound control console uses a system such as a PC, a tablet PC, or a smart phone that can be operated by running SW. A wired or wireless network must be operational, and a wired network is better for stable performance. The sound control console is fixed at the performance site, so there is no problem in using the wired network.

The present invention can be completed by constructing specially designed equipment as an acoustic terminal or a sound control console in addition to a method of installing dedicated SW in general equipment. In order to provide a single sound control integrated system, it is preferable to include a portable network device such as a WIFI.

In the present invention, in a plurality of audio terminals and a sound control console connected via a network, a sound terminal constitutes a device such as a smart phone, a mobile phone, a tablet PC, a laptop PC, a PC and the like, Smart phones, mobile phones, tablet PCs, PCs, and SWs running on these devices.

Here, the acoustic terminal includes a sound input module such as a microphone for receiving sound data, a communication module capable of transmitting / receiving the sound control console through the network, and means for outputting sound such as a speaker or a headset.

A method of configuring a multi-acoustic control integrated system using a smart device owned by each of a plurality of performers as an acoustic terminal includes the steps of: executing a SW dedicated to an acoustic terminal in a smart device owned by each of the performers; Inputting a voice by a performer using a microphone of the acoustic terminal; Transmitting the sound data received from the microphone to the sound control console connected to the network; Receiving a sound control signal from a sound control console while maintaining a network connection with a plurality of sound terminals; Outputting a connection state and an acoustic data reception state of each acoustic terminal; Receiving a designation data on whether or not the sound control console is to be integrated or a sound control scheme; The sound control console performing sound control of the sound data of each acoustic terminal in a designated manner; And outputting the sound data of the sound terminal designated as the integration target by performing sound adjustment by an output sound adjustment method.

In the PC of the performance technician, the switch for the sound control console is executed and set as the sound control console. The sound control console displays information on the acoustic terminals of each performer on the screen. The information about the sound terminal is displayed by a method of selectively combining some of various methods such as an identification code, whether or not the sound is currently input, and a real-time volume change display of the inputted sound.

It is preferable that each SW used in a sound terminal or a sound control console is composed of a single SW, but in a control part such as a sound output or input, there is a high possibility that there is a separate SW prepared for each terminal. It is also preferable to provide the liquid crystal display device as a unit.

The sound control console provides a means for designating a sound control method for sound data arriving from each sound terminal, an object of sound integration for each sound terminal, and a sound control method for the integrated sound.

The sound arriving from the sound terminal is defined as the input sound, and the sound output from the integration target sound data is defined as the output sound.

The sound manager designates an acoustic integration target for each acoustic terminal, determines the cancellation object, or designates a sound control method for the input sound or the output sound. It also specifies the manner of sound control for the output sound of the sound control console.

The sound control console individually processes the sound control according to the designated method for only the sound data received from each sound terminal designated as the integration target. Further, the sound control console processes and outputs the additional sound control according to the sound control designation method for the output sound only for all the sound data.

The method of sound control in the sound control console may include at least one of the following methods: adjusting the volume of the entire range, adjusting the volume of a specific range, inserting a watermark sound, removing a watermark sound, removing a specific range of sound, As shown in FIG. If necessary, the degree of control corresponding to each method should be further specified to specify the sound control method.

The outputting step of the sound control console includes a step of performing sound adjustment according to the designated method of the sound data of the output object and a first method of outputting the sound data to a device such as a speaker or an amplifier, 2 method, a third method of transferring data to another device connected to the network, and a fourth method of storing the data in a designated storage device.

A step of the sound control console analyzing the sound data of each sound terminal to automatically set the sound control method for the sound terminal or the step of requesting the sound control console to adjust the sound data to a specific sound terminal in a specific manner It is also possible to configure further.

It is also preferable that the sound control console further includes a step of providing a sign-in procedure of a performer and a separate sign-in process for each sound terminal.

The present invention can constitute a low-cost multi-voice control console system by allowing a plurality of performers to collect and selectively integrate voice data into a single voice control integration system using a microphone attached to a smart device widely cast by the cast.

As the HW device or SW is widely used, the rate of technology improvement is fast, but the price of related products tends to gradually decrease. Conventional professional microphones are expensive compared to microphones of personal smart handsets, but the quality of microphones attached to widely used personal handsets can be improved much more quickly.

These multi-voice control consoles can extend the use of wireless microphones in the performing stage by utilizing popular equipment such as mobile phones and PCs. In addition, by using personal devices, it is possible to reduce the purchase cost of additional microphone equipment and reduce the power management burden on individual microphones

The present invention can be implemented not only as a console for multi-voice control of performers but also as an extension to a sound device such as a musical instrument, thereby realizing an inexpensive but functional sound integration console system corresponding to multiple sound terminals.

The present invention supports a method of processing a digital sound control method by computing so that automation such as automatic detection and automatic control of sound control can be pursued.

The present invention eliminates the limitation of the number of microphones at the performance site, so that the entire performer can use his own microphone. This reduces the burden of pre-equipment installation and testing, reduces the inconvenience of exchanging microphones, and reduces unnecessary contact with multiple people, thus greatly contributing to personal hygiene.

As the spread of smart phones has led to the possession of HD cameras by everyone, the technological advances of widely-deployed hardware products tend to progress more rapidly than those of individual devices. As the functions of the microphones and the power management of the smart devices for personal use are enhanced, the present invention will provide a more effective integrated management service while avoiding redundant investment in individual devices.

And a GUI input / output interface for expressing and specifying the sound control method of each acoustic terminal in a screen so that the sound control method of the sound control console 100 can be easily designated.

The present invention can be further configured to manage the voice of a conference system or the like in which a plurality of users participate. This has the advantage of being able to use his own microphone equipment that he is familiar with at the meeting.

In order to manage the permission and blocking of the voice, the voice input application of the voice terminal 200 is received and the voice data is transmitted to the voice control console 100. The voice control console 100 receives the voice request from the specific voice control console Receiving an input of whether or not the talk right is permitted from the manager; And when the voice is granted, the audio terminal is notified of the permission and the audio data is received.

When the acoustic terminal 200 receives the notification that the voice is granted from the sound control console 100, the acoustic terminal 200 outputs the voice to another graphic means or acoustic means so that the performer can recognize the voice.

The sound control console 100 adds a function of dividing and setting a plurality of sound terminals into a plurality of groups. And output the acoustic terminal groups included in each group in a distinctive manner.

The sound specified as the integration target is separately integrated from the sound terminal of the specific group and output independently. That is, the streaming server can be output by a method of transmitting to a specified sound terminal, and a streaming server can be designated separately for each sound terminal group, and when a streaming server is designated, output sound can be transmitted to the server.

The group of the sound terminals may bundle the sound terminals using the same language. In this case, the sound terminal may be concurrently grouped so that the sound of the interpreter can be shared by the interpreter of a specific language.

It is preferable that the acoustic terminal 200 and the sound control console 100 are connected to a single network using a WIFI hotspot using one private IP address. In WIFI, it is necessary to group specific service ports by using specific IP addresses.

Here, one end of the acoustic terminal 200 or the sound control console 100 may be able to automatically search the other side. It is possible to distinguish and recognize the counterpart open to the specific port as the sound control console or the sound terminal by attempting to connect to all possible IP addresses automatically in the private IP address band after fixing a specific port without using a specific IP address Take the steps further.

For example, in case of private IP address of 192.168.1. * Band, automatic search for IP address with end number from 0 to 256 enables processing within a short time.

If one of the audio terminal and the sound control console can automatically track and configure the other side, if the WIFI antenna is turned on and only the password of the WIFI is input, a sound control console and audio terminals are automatically searched Can be used.
