  • CD changers Only a few CD players have the functionality to record more than one CD in the case. In such devices, referred to as CD changers, the user must first one of the i.d.R. a maximum of 10 stored CDs before he can select the piece of music.
  • a commercial CD contains between 10 and 20 songs.
  • the listener When playing a CD, the listener basically has two options:
  • the functions for selecting the desired CD are similar to the above options for selecting the song.
  • Audio servers Both types of devices, hereafter referred to as audio servers, are self-sufficient in that they have software that can be used to manage the music files. These software programs not only save the actual Pieces of music, but also descriptive information such as the name of the artist, style, name of the album and title of the piece of music. In addition, they often allow the creation of so-called. Playlists, with which listeners can put together lists of music in any order from the entire repertoire itself. These data, which describe the actual pieces of music, are referred to below as metadata.
  • the user can only make the desired selection via the displayed titles of the pieces of music or also the names of the playlists. While this can already be read on different display devices directly on the display today, remote controls do not display this information.
  • the remote control of the future must therefore have the functionality that can display the selection of albums, artists, playlists and songs in a display.
  • the metadata must be transferred from the audio server to the remote control.
  • the data is requested and transmitted by the audio server the moment the user navigates through the choices and makes certain decisions. 2) The data is transferred from the audio server to the remote control at certain times and is thus directly available to the user.
  • the real-time communication and data transfer between remote control and audio server required in the first option will result in delays in the display of the data from which the user wishes to make his selection. Although these delays will only be fractions of a second, they will affect usability.
  • the metadata to the tunes and playlists in the remote control must be stored.
  • the metadata in the remote control In order for the metadata in the remote control to be on the same level as the music collection on the audio server, the metadata must be automatically synchronized between the remote control and the audio server.
  • a solution for a remote control is registered as a patent, which displays on a display to the user the choices, these data with the terminal, synchronized, ie kept up to date.
  • the terminal may be an audio, photo, video or movie server.
  • the subject of the patent application is a remote control for the control of audio, photo, video or film servers (hereinafter referred to as terminal), characterized by the following features:
  • the metadata of the music albums stored on the terminal, music pieces, playlists, photos, films, etc. - so for example the titles, genres and performers of music albums and pieces of music, the titles, categories to be awarded (eg friends, Holiday, etc.) of pictures or photo albums, or the titles, genre and directors of films - can be electronically stored in the remote control.
  • the electronic storage in the remote control can be done in different ways:
  • RAM memory including SIMM, DIMM, RIMM), e.g. SDRAM
  • the synchronization function consists of a component located in the remote control. This is u.a. responsible for the control of data transmission and the management of data storage.
  • the second component is located in the terminal. This accesses the metadata stored there and controls the transmission to the remote control. The interaction of the two components enables the automatic synchronization of the metadata from the terminal to the remote control.
  • the initiation of the synchronization can be realized in the following way: 2.1.1 Whenever the music, photo, video or film collection on the device is changed (eg saving or deleting an album or music piece, creating, modifying or deleting a playlist, etc.) and thus the metadata change, the terminal initiates the transmission of the updated metadata. (Push method)
  • the remote will periodically "ask” the terminal if the music collection and therefore the metadata have changed, and if so, the terminal transmits the updated metadata to the remote control (pull method).
  • the metadata stored in the remote control will be the same as the metadata of the audio, photo, video or film server.
  • a display e.g., LCD display
  • This display shows the user all the information about the albums, music, playlists, photos, movies etc. stored on the device.
  • the remote control with synchronization, storage and display of the selections can, in conjunction with terminals that have the components to synchronize the metadata, be used directly commercially.
  • the audio, photo, video or movie server may be different devices: a) Hi-Fi device that has the function of storing music.
  • the hi-fi device which is similar to other hi-fi components (e.g., a CD player or amplifier), may be either stand-alone or part of a hi-fi system. This hi-fi device acts as an audio server.
  • b) home theater system which has functionalities for storing movies and TV broadcasts and possibly also pieces of music. This home cinema system acts as a video and possibly also as an audio server.
  • Personal computer with appropriate music, photo and / or film management software and hard disk for storing audio, photos or video data.
  • the PC acts as an audio, photo and / or video server.
  • the audio, photo, video or film server can either process the music, images or films themselves (eg amplify) and transmit them to speakers or display displays, or they can transfer the data to other devices (eg amplifiers, televisions) which transmit the data Process or process data.
  • devices eg amplifiers, televisions
  • the transfer of the data from the audio, photo, video or film server to the one or more processing or reprocessing devices can be done in different ways, for example by cable, by radio, etc. Also, the data may first become complete transmission before being played back or displayed, or the data may already be played or displayed during transmission (streaming).
  • the remote control is also suitable for indirectly controlling the audio, photo, video or film server, e.g. via so-called clients installed in different rooms, which then request the selected pieces of music or films from the actual audio, photo, video or film server.
  • the illustrated characteristics of the audio, photo, video or film server show that, especially in the home entertainment area, there are many possible uses for the remote control with synchronization, storage and display of the selection options.
  • the remote control is also suitable for other applications in which a large number of choices are available, which should be displayed to the user on the display of the remote control so that he can make the right choice.
  • the invention of the remote control with storage and display of the choices, which are automatically synchronized with the terminal, will be illustrated using the example of an audio server.
  • the audio server is part of a hi-fi system and is operated via a remote control. He has a software for the management of the music pieces, by means of which u.a. the titles, genre and performers of the songs are managed.
  • the user now extends the music collection by e.g. From a PC transfers further music files via WiFi radio transmission to the audio server, so also change the metadata of the music collection.
  • This change initiates the synchronization component also located in the audio server to contact the remote control. If the remote control is within the transmission power of the audio server, the synchronization component will trigger the complete transmission of all metadata including the part being updated.
  • WiFi technology is used to transmit the data.
  • the data is received in the remote control.
  • the synchronization component of the remote control will then write the updated metadata to the memory of the remote control, completely overwriting the pre-existing metadata.
  • the current state of the metadata about the music collection stored on the audio server is available on the remote control again. If the listener now wants to play a specific title stored in the audio server's music collection, he can pick up the remote control and navigate through the order structure shown in the display of the remote control by pressing the "up” and “down” buttons until he reaches the desired song arrives. By pressing the control command "Start" the Hqrer then initiates the playback of this song from the audio server.
  • the user is able to select the available albums, tunes, playlists, etc., even without eye contact with the audio server, because it will display the information about the objects in the display.
  • the desired control command e.g., start, pause, pause

Abstract

Télécommande pour la commande de serveurs audio, photo, vidéo ou de films, sur laquelle sont transmises les informations concernant les morceaux de musique, les images ou les films se trouvant en mémoire dans les serveurs audio, photo, vidéo ou de films. Mais seules les métadonnées, donc par exemple les titres des morceaux de musique ou les noms des interprètes, sont transmis. Pour des raisons de performance, la synchronisation se produit de manière asynchrone lors du changement de la collection de musiques, d'images ou de films, si bien que lors de l'utilisation de la télécommande, l'utilisateur dispose toujours des informations mises à jour. L'utilisateur peut appeler les informations via un afficheur, naviguer vers le titre désiré et ensuite entrer l'instruction de commande, par exemple le démarrage ou l'arrêt du titre.
