[Login process when communicating between karaoke devices]
Next, login processing when a plurality of karaoke apparatuses 20 communicate with each other will be described. As an example, as shown in FIG. 4, a case where there are a karaoke device 20a, a karaoke device 20b, and a karaoke device 20c at three locations will be described.

When the user 60 of each base desires mutual communication of the karaoke apparatus 20, the karaoke apparatus 20a, the karaoke apparatus 20b, and the karaoke apparatus 20c are operated, and registration of a login state is performed with respect to the management server 10. Performed (indicated by i) in FIG.

Registration of the login state is performed by inputting the user's 60 ID number or user name, age, gender, favorite artist name, singing range, etc. When such information has already been input to the management server 10, for example, the user ID number or the user name and password may only be input to log in. Also, an ID number or user name, age, gender, favorite artist name, singable sound range, etc. may be registered in advance via the Internet.

When registration of the login state from the user 60 is performed, the management server 10 creates a login management list 80 based on the input information. If a past history remains, the login management list 80 may be created using the remaining data. In the login management list 80, the ID number or user name of the user 60, profile information such as age, gender, favorite artist name, singable range, and device information are recorded. In addition, apparatus information is automatically transmitted from each karaoke apparatus 20a, karaoke apparatus 20b, and karaoke apparatus 20c. The device information may be any information such as an IP address that can identify each karaoke device 20 and enable communication.

Also, the registration of the login state may be performed by all the users 60 at each point, or may be performed by each representative 60a, 60b, 60c.

Next, a user who wants to enjoy a duet with a user at another point accesses the management server 10 and searches for the user (shown as ii) in FIG. 4). In this search, when another user ID or user name is known in advance, the search can be performed by inputting the user ID or user name. Alternatively, the login management list 80 may be displayed on the monitor 50 connected to each karaoke device 20 and searched from the profile information described in the login management list 80.

The management server 10 notifies the user of the result of the user search (indicated by iii) in FIG. In this notification, when a search is performed by inputting a user ID or a user name, it is only necessary to notify whether or not the search target user is logged in. Further, when a search is performed by displaying the login management list 80 on the monitor 50, it may be notified whether or not the selected user is logged in.

When the search target user is logged in, a connection permission inquiry is made to the user (indicated by iv) in FIG. 4). In this process, for example, a message such as “Do you want to make a connection permission inquiry” may be displayed on the monitor 50 so that the user selects “Yes” or “No”.

When the connection permission inquiry is performed, the management server 10 determines the connection permission for the karaoke terminal device 20 at the point where the selected user is logged in based on the device information recorded in the login management list 80. Notify that there has been an inquiry (indicated by v in FIG. 4). If there is this notification, the karaoke apparatus 20 of each base will display that on the monitor 50 connected to each karaoke apparatus 20.

For example, the ID number, user name, or profile information of the user who made the inquiry may be displayed, and a display such as “A connection permission inquiry has been received from this user.

When such display is performed on the monitor 50, for example, the user at each point selects “Yes” or “No” with a remote controller or the like, and answers the inquiry (indicated by vi in FIG. 4). ).

The management server 10 that has received the answer from the karaoke device 20 at each base notifies the karaoke device 20 of the user who inquired the result (shown by vii in FIG. 4), and the device of the karaoke device at the other base. Send information. The karaoke apparatus 20 that has received this notification may display on the monitor 50 such as “connection permitted”.

In this way, for example, the karaoke device 20a that has acquired the device information of the karaoke device 20b accesses the karaoke device 20b, the karaoke device 20a and the karaoke device 20b are connected, and the karaoke device 20a and the karaoke device 20b. Are mutually communicated (shown as viii) in FIG. 4). In this case, the karaoke apparatus 20a that first inquires about connection manages transmission of music reproduction data, a music reservation list, and the like as a parent device.

FIG. 5 shows an image of the state in which the karaoke apparatuses between the two bases communicate with each other in this way. In this state, for example, when karaoke music data selected by the user 60a at the site A is downloaded from the management server 10, the music data is stored in the hard disk (HDD) 23 of the karaoke terminal device 20a at the site A.

When the user 60a at the site A performs an operation for starting performance, the music data is reproduced, and the karaoke accompaniment of the music is reproduced at the site A via the amplifier 52a and the speaker 53a at the point A. The monitor 50a displays lyrics telop of the music and video data associated with the music. The song of the user 60a at the site A is collected by the singing microphone 54a and reproduced through the amplifier 52a and the speaker 53a.

Further, the karaoke accompaniment sound of the music is transmitted to the karaoke apparatus 20b as reproduction data by the karaoke terminal apparatus 20a at the site A. The karaoke apparatus 20b that has received the reproduction data reproduces the reproduction data, and the same karaoke accompaniment sound as the base A is also reproduced at the base B through the amplifier 52b and the speaker 53b.

Accordingly, the user 60b at the site B can sing according to the same karaoke accompaniment sound as that at the site A, and the song of the user 60b at the site B is picked up by the singing microphone 54b, via the amplifier 52b and the speaker 53b. Played. The voice data of the user B at the base B collected by the singing microphone 54b is transmitted to the karaoke apparatus 20a at the base A by the karaoke apparatus 20b at the base B. And it reproduces | regenerates through the amplifier 52a and the speaker 53a in the base A. At the same time, the song of the user 60a at the site A is similarly reproduced via the amplifier 52b and the speaker 53b at the site B. Therefore, the user 60a at the site A and the user 60b at the point B can duet on the same song while being at a place away from each other.

Furthermore, the state in which the user 60a at the site A sings is photographed by the camera 51a, transmitted to the site B, and displayed on the monitor 50b. The state in which the user 60b at the site B sings is photographed by the camera 51b, transmitted to the site A, and displayed on the monitor 50a. Therefore, the user 60a at the site A and the user 60b at the site B can experience a sense of reality as if they were duet at the same location while being away from each other.

Moreover, applause and voices of the audience 70a at the site A are collected by the communication microphone 55a, transmitted to the site B, and reproduced through the amplifier 52b and the speaker 53b at the site B. Similarly, applause and voice of the audience 70b at the site B are collected by the communication microphone 55b and reproduced via the amplifier 52a and the speaker 53a at the site A. Therefore, the user 60a and the spectator 70a at the base A and the user 60b and the spectator 70b at the point B can experience a sense of reality as if they were in the same place while being away from each other.

In the above-described example, the music data is downloaded by the karaoke device 20a at the base A, and the data obtained by reproducing the music data is transmitted from the karaoke device 20a to the karaoke device 20b. Data may be downloaded and the downloaded music data may be reproduced in the karaoke apparatus 20b.

In the above-described example, the karaoke apparatuses 20 at the two bases are connected. However, the karaoke apparatuses 20 at a plurality of more points may be connected. In this case, the karaoke device 20 at each base may transmit the data of the singing sound collected by the singing microphone 54 to the other connected karaoke devices 20.

The video of each site may be displayed in a composite manner on one screen, or may be displayed in a divided manner. In addition, the singing voice received from each base is reproduced by mixing with the accompaniment sound. The music data and the lyrics telop may be transmitted from the karaoke device 20 of the parent device to another karaoke device 20 or may be downloaded from the management server 10 by each karaoke device 20.

According to the system of the present embodiment as described above, after the connection between the master karaoke device 20 and the other karaoke device 20 is established, the connection state is maintained. For example, you can enjoy a duet with an acquaintance living in a remote area for a certain period of time.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, since the singing voices of a plurality of bases are mixed with the karaoke accompaniment sound and reproduced, it is possible to sing together between the bases even if they are not duets. Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, it is not always necessary to sing at a plurality of locations simultaneously, and it may be only viewed at other locations.

[Synchronization processing of music reservation list]

<C: Third Embodiment>
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Portions common to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted. The present embodiment is an embodiment in which the music performance operation at each base is reflected on other bases.

Also in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, there is a mutual communication request between the karaoke devices first from the karaoke device 20a, and the karaoke device 20a becomes the parent device, and communicates with the karaoke device 20b and the karaoke device 20c. Is assumed to be possible.

In this state, for example, when an operation related to music playback control is performed in the karaoke apparatus 20c (FIG. 10: S40), the karaoke apparatus 20c determines whether the operation is an operation to be synchronized ( FIG. 10: S41).

The operations that are subject to synchronization are performance operations such as start, performance stop, redo, fast reverse, fast forward, etc., and key control and tempo control operations.

Also, operations that are not subject to synchronization are site-specific volume adjustment operations, reservation list and setting state reference / confirmation operations.

When the operation is an operation to be synchronized, the karaoke apparatus 20c first determines whether or not the operation can be permitted by itself, and if the operation can be permitted, locks its own state. (FIG. 10: S42).

For example, start operations cannot be permitted during performance, and operations such as performance stop, redo, fast reverse, and fast forward cannot be permitted when performance is not being performed. However, during the performance, performance operations such as performance stop, redo, fast reverse, fast forward, etc., and key control and tempo control operations can be permitted. In addition, when no performance is performed, start operation, key control, and tempo control can be permitted.

The karaoke apparatus 20c does not perform the synchronization process when the operation performed by the user is an operation that cannot be permitted.

After the karaoke device 20c locks its own state, the karaoke device 20c inquires of other connected karaoke terminal devices 20a and karaoke devices 20b whether the operation is possible (FIG. 10: S43, S46).

Upon receiving the inquiry, the karaoke device 20a and the karaoke device 20b determine whether or not the operation can be permitted by themselves, and if the operation can be permitted, the karaoke device 20a and the karaoke device 20b lock their own state (FIG. 10: S44, S47).

Each karaoke device 20 is configured not to accept an operation request for itself or an operation request from another karaoke device 20 during the state lock period.

The karaoke device 20c that has made the inquiry (the device operated by the user) waits for a response indicating whether the operation is possible from all

other karaoke devices

20a and 20b.

If a response of “prohibition of operation” is received from some karaoke apparatuses 20 during standby, the request source cancels the operation request for all karaoke apparatuses 20 and an error message indicating that “the operation is being performed by another apparatus”. Is displayed.

When all of the karaoke apparatuses 20a and karaoke apparatuses 20b have returned an operation permission response, the requesting karaoke apparatus 20c notifies the karaoke apparatus 20a and the karaoke apparatus 20b at each base station of a master reproduction control command indicating specific operation contents. Then, the reproduction control is instructed (FIG. 10: S49, S50).

Upon receiving the instruction, the karaoke device 20a and the karaoke device 20b perform their own reproduction control based on the master reproduction control command and release the lock (FIG. 10: S51, S52). Then, a completion notification is transmitted to the requesting karaoke apparatus 20c (FIG. 10: S53, S54).

The requesting karaoke apparatus 20c receives the completion notification from all the

other karaoke apparatuses

20a and 20b, and then performs its own reproduction control to release the lock (FIG. 10: S54).

The above control may be performed under the management of the management server 10. For example, when an operation related to music playback control is performed in the karaoke apparatus 20a (FIG. 11: S60), the karaoke apparatus 20a determines whether the operation is an operation to be synchronized (FIG. 11: S61). ).

The operations to be synchronized are performance operations such as start, performance stop, redo, fast reverse, fast forward, etc., key control, and tempo control, as described above.

Also, operations that are not subject to synchronization are site-specific volume adjustment operations, reservation list and setting state reference / confirmation operations, as in the case described above.

If the operation is an operation to be synchronized, the karaoke apparatus 20a first determines whether or not the operation can be permitted by itself, and if so, locks its own state. (FIG. 11: S62).

The karaoke apparatus 20a does not perform the synchronization process when the operation performed by the user is an operation that cannot be permitted.

The karaoke apparatus 20a locks its own state, and then transmits a master reproduction control command indicating specific operation contents to the management server 10 to notify a request for synchronization processing (FIG. 10: S63).

Upon receiving the request, the management server 10 inquires of the other karaoke apparatus 20b and the karaoke apparatus 20c whether or not the operation can be permitted (FIG. 11: S64, S67).

Upon receiving the inquiry, the karaoke device 20b and the karaoke device 20c determine whether or not the operation can be permitted by themselves, and if so, lock their own state (FIG. 10: S65, S68).

Then, the karaoke apparatus 20b and the karaoke apparatus 20c respond to the management server 10 as to whether or not the operation can be permitted (FIG. 11: S66, S69).

Each karaoke apparatus 20 is configured not to accept an operation request for itself or an operation request from the management server 10 during the state lock period.

The management server 10 waits for a response indicating whether the operation is possible from the karaoke device 20b and the karaoke device 20c.

If a response “prohibit operation” is received from some of the karaoke devices 20 during standby, the management server 10 cancels the operation request for all the karaoke devices 20 and an error indicating that “the operation is being performed by another device”. Display a message.

When the karaoke terminal device 20b and the karaoke device 20c return an operation permission response, the management server 10 notifies a master reproduction control command indicating specific operation contents to all the karaoke devices 20a, karaoke device 20b, and karaoke device 20c. Reproduction control is instructed (FIG. 11: S70, S73, S76).

The karaoke device 20a, karaoke device 20b, and karaoke device 20c that received the instruction perform their own reproduction control based on the master reproduction control command and release the lock (FIG. 11: S71, S74, S77). Then, a completion notification is transmitted to the requesting karaoke apparatus 20c (FIG. 11: S72, S75, S78).

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the music performance operation performed on one karaoke device is reflected on all other karaoke devices connected in the communication mode, and therefore communicates with each other. Duet can be performed on all karaoke devices in the same state.
In the present embodiment, an example in which the content of playback control for music data is transmitted as a master playback control command by the master playback control output unit and reflected in the playback control of music data in the playback control unit has been described. The unit and the reproduction control unit are realized as a function of the control unit 21.

In addition, when no performance is performed, start operation, key control, and tempo control can be permitted. The karaoke apparatus 20b does not perform the synchronization process when the operation performed by the user is an operation that cannot be permitted.

After the karaoke apparatus 20b locks its own state, the karaoke apparatus 20b notifies the parent apparatus karaoke apparatus 20a of an individual reproduction control command indicating the content of the operation of the reproduction control, and makes an operation permission inquiry (S400). Upon receiving this inquiry, the karaoke apparatus 20a determines whether or not the content of the reproduction control operation indicated by the individual reproduction control command, for example, the reproduction control command is common to all the karaoke apparatuses. The determination method may be such that the karaoke device 20a makes an inquiry to another karaoke device, or commands of each karaoke device are stored in advance in the management server 10, and the management server 10 is inquired from the karaoke device 20a or managed. You may memorize | store the command of each karaoke apparatus acquired from the server 10 in the karaoke apparatus 20a.

As a result of the determination, for a device that uses a command different from the playback control command indicated by the individual playback control command, command conversion is performed for the device (S401). However, for an apparatus that uses the same command as the playback control command indicated by the individual playback control command, the command is used as it is (S401). That is, the conversion process (S401) shown in FIG. 22 includes both a case where the command is converted and a case where the command is used as it is.

Then, the karaoke apparatus 20a, which is the master unit, transmits an converted command to the apparatus that uses a command different from the reproduction control command indicated by the individual reproduction control command, and inquires about the operation permission ( S402). However, for the device using the same command as the playback control command indicated by the individual playback control command, the command is sent as it is and an operation permission inquiry is made (S402). That is, when there are a plurality of destination karaoke apparatuses, the converted command is transmitted to a certain apparatus, and the pre-conversion command is transmitted to another apparatus.

For example, when the command on the smartphone 20 'is different from the command on the karaoke apparatus 20b, the converted command is transmitted to the smartphone 20'. In this way, the karaoke device that has received the inquiry for the operation permission, in this example, the karaoke device 20a and the smartphone 20 ′ determines whether or not the operation can be permitted by itself, and if the operation can be permitted, The state is locked (S44, S47).

Then, the karaoke device 20a responds to the karaoke device 20b as to whether or not the operation can be permitted (S45). Further, the smartphone 20 ′ responds to the karaoke apparatus 20 a as to whether or not the operation can be permitted (S403). The karaoke apparatus 20a transmits this response to the karaoke apparatus 20b as a master unit (S404).

Each karaoke device 20 and the smartphone 20 ′ do not accept an operation request on its own and an operation request from another karaoke device 20 during the state lock period. The inquiring karaoke apparatus 20b (the apparatus operated by the user) waits for a response indicating whether the operation is possible from all the other karaoke apparatuses 20a and the smartphone 20 '.

If a response “prohibit operation” is received from some karaoke devices 20 or smartphones 20 ′ during standby, the request source cancels the operation requests for all karaoke devices 20 and smartphones 20 ′, and “operates by other devices”. Error message is displayed.

When the karaoke apparatus 20a and the smartphone 20 ′ return a response indicating that the operation is permitted, the requesting karaoke apparatus 20b notifies the karaoke apparatus 20a of an individual reproduction control command indicating specific operation contents, and instructs reproduction control (S49). . The karaoke device 20a serving as the parent device converts the command related to the reproduction control in accordance with the karaoke device of the transmission destination or the individual reproduction control command by using it as it is, as in the case where the operation permission inquiry is made. (S405) and notifies each karaoke device of an individual reproduction control command (S50). In this example, the karaoke apparatus 20a itself uses a command that is not converted, and notifies the converted command to the smartphone 20 '.

Upon receiving the instruction, the karaoke device 20a and the smartphone 20 'perform their own playback control based on the individual playback control command and release the lock (S51, S52). Then, the karaoke apparatus 20a transmits a completion notification to the requesting karaoke apparatus 20b (S53). The smartphone 20 'transmits a completion notification to the karaoke device 20a (S406), and the karaoke device 20a as the parent device transmits the completion notification to the karaoke device 20b (S407).

The requesting karaoke device 20b receives the completion notification from all the other karaoke devices 20a and the smartphone 20 ', and then performs its own reproduction control to release the lock (S54).

As described above, according to the present embodiment, even when different types of karaoke devices are connected to the network of karaoke devices, the music performance operation performed by one karaoke device is connected in the communication mode. Therefore, the karaoke can be enjoyed in the same state on all the karaoke apparatuses communicating with each other.

<J: Tenth Embodiment>
Next, a tenth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The ninth embodiment converts a playback control command when a different karaoke apparatus is connected in a communication karaoke system in which one of the karaoke apparatuses serves as a master unit to manage and update the master reservation list. An example was described. However, this embodiment is an example of converting a playback control command when different types of karaoke apparatuses are connected in the communication karaoke system in which the management server 10 manages and updates the master reservation list.

As shown in FIG. 16, the present embodiment includes a relay server 90 that can communicate with the management server 10, and the relay server 90 includes a conversion unit. Moreover, this embodiment is an example which manages and updates the music reservation list 90 as a master reservation list in the management server 10, as shown in FIG. 17, and a karaoke apparatus by karaoke apparatus 20a, karaoke apparatus 20b, and smart phone 20 '. Network is configured.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 23, the conversion process of the reproduction control command in the present embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, for example, when an operation related to music playback control is performed in the karaoke apparatus 20a (S60), the karaoke apparatus 20a determines whether the operation is an operation to be synchronized (S61). . The operations to be synchronized are performance operations such as start, performance stop, redo, fast reverse, and fast forward, and key control and tempo control operations, as in the case described above. Also, operations that are not subject to synchronization are, as in the case described above, site-specific volume adjustment operations, reservation list and setting state reference / confirmation operations.

If the operation is an operation to be synchronized, the karaoke apparatus 20a first determines whether or not the operation can be permitted by itself, and if so, locks its own state. (S62). For example, start operations cannot be permitted during performance, and operations such as performance stop, replay, fast reverse, and fast forward cannot be permitted when performance is not being performed. However, during the performance, performance operations such as performance stop, redo, fast reverse, fast forward, etc., and key control and tempo control operations can be permitted. In addition, when no performance is performed, start operation, key control, and tempo control can be permitted.

The karaoke apparatus 20a does not perform the synchronization process when the operation performed by the user is an operation that cannot be permitted. However, if the operation is permitted, the karaoke apparatus 20a locks its own state, and then transmits an individual reproduction control command indicating specific operation contents to the management server 10 to perform synchronization processing. A request is notified (S63).

The management server 10 that has received the request notifies the relay server 90 of the individual reproduction control command (S411). Receiving this inquiry, the relay server 90 determines whether or not the content of the playback control operation indicated by the individual playback control command, for example, the playback control command is common to all the karaoke apparatuses. The determination method may be such that an inquiry is made to another karaoke device via the management server 10, or the command of each karaoke device is stored in the management server 10 in advance and the management server 10 is inquired from the relay server 90. The command of each karaoke device acquired from the management server 10 may be stored in the relay server 90.

As a result of the determination, for a device that uses a command different from the playback control command indicated by the individual playback control command, the command is converted for the device (S412), and the management server 10 is notified (S413). ). However, for a device that uses the same command as the playback control command indicated by the individual playback control command, the command is used as it is (S412), and the management server 10 is notified (S413). That is, the conversion process (S412) shown in FIG. 23 includes both a case where the command is converted and a case where the command is used as it is.

The management server 10 that has received the notification of the converted command or the command before conversion from the relay server 90 converts the device using a command different from the playback control command indicated by the individual playback control command. An operation permission inquiry is performed by transmitting the command (S414). However, for the device that uses the same command as the playback control command indicated by the individual playback control command, the command is sent as it is and an operation permission inquiry is made (S414). That is, when there are a plurality of destination karaoke apparatuses, the converted command is transmitted to a certain apparatus, and the pre-conversion command is transmitted to another apparatus.

For example, when the command on the smartphone 20 'is different from the command on the karaoke apparatus 20a, the converted command is transmitted to the smartphone 20'. Thus, the karaoke apparatus which received the inquiry of the operation permission, in this example, the karaoke apparatus 20b and the smartphone 20 ′ determine whether or not the operation can be permitted, and if the operation can be permitted, The state is locked (S68).

The karaoke device 20b and the smartphone 20 respond to the management server 10 as to whether or not the operation can be permitted (S69). The management server 10 transmits this response to the karaoke apparatus 20a (S404).

Each karaoke device 20 and the smartphone 20 ′ do not accept an operation request on its own and an operation request from another karaoke device 20 during the state lock period. The inquiring karaoke apparatus 20a (the apparatus operated by the user) waits for a response indicating that the operation is possible from all the other karaoke apparatuses 20a and the smartphone 20 '.

When the karaoke device 20b and the smartphone 20 'return a response indicating that the operation is permitted to the management server 10, the management server 10 notifies the karaoke device 20a of these responses (S415). Receiving this notification, the requesting karaoke apparatus 20a notifies the management server 10 of an individual reproduction control command indicating specific operation contents, and instructs reproduction control (S416). The management server 10 notifies the relay server 90 of the individual reproduction control command in the same manner as when there is an operation permission inquiry (S417). Receiving this notification, the relay server 90 converts the command related to the playback control in accordance with the karaoke device of the transmission destination or uses it as it is as an individual playback control command (S418), and makes the individual playback to the management server 10 A control command is notified (S419). In this example, the command not to be converted is notified for the

karaoke apparatuses

20a and 20b, and the converted command is notified to the management server 10 for the smartphone 20 '.

The management server 10 notifies the converted command notified from the relay server 90 to the smartphone 20 ', and notifies the karaoke apparatus 20b of the command before conversion (S420). Further, the command before conversion is notified to the karaoke apparatus 20a (S421).

The karaoke device 20a, the karaoke device 20b, and the smartphone 20 'that received the instruction perform their own reproduction control based on the individual reproduction control command and release the lock (S71, S77). Then, the karaoke device 20a, the karaoke device 20b, and the smartphone 20 'transmit a completion notification to the management server 10 (S72, S78).

In addition, although this embodiment demonstrated the example which provided the relay server 90 which can communicate with the management server 10, and provided the conversion part in the relay server 90 in the communication karaoke system in which the management server 10 manages and updates a master reservation list. Such a configuration is also applicable to the ninth embodiment. In other words, in a communication karaoke system in which any karaoke apparatus becomes a master unit to manage and update the master reservation list, a relay server 90 that can communicate with the master unit is provided, and the relay server 90 includes a conversion unit. The command conversion process as described in the embodiment may be performed.

<K: Eleventh Embodiment>
Next, an eleventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the ninth embodiment and the tenth embodiment, the example of conversion when the command for reproduction control is different depending on the karaoke apparatus has been described. However, in this embodiment, when there is a playback control operation that is not supported by a specific karaoke device, the ninth embodiment and the tenth embodiment handle it as an error when there is a request for the playback control operation. Different from the embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 26, the

karaoke devices

20a, 20b, and 20c, which are devices dedicated to karaoke, support all playback controls of normal playback, pause, fast reverse / fast forward, tempo control, and playback key control. Yes. In FIG. 26, a circle indicates that the control is supported by the apparatus, and a cross indicates that the control is not supported by the apparatus.

However, as shown in FIG. 26, the smartphone 20 ′ or tablet as a portable device supports normal playback, pause, fast reverse / fast forward, and playback key control, but does not support tempo control. Not. In the stationary game machine, normal playback, pause, and playback key control are supported, but fast reverse / fast forward and tempo control are not supported.

As described above, specific playback control may not be supported depending on the device connected to the network of karaoke devices in the communication karaoke system of the present invention. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when there is a playback control operation request from any of the devices, it is determined whether the playback control operation is supported by all the devices connected to the network, An operation request for playback control that is not supported by any device is handled as an error. *

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 24 and FIG. 25, error processing of the reproduction control command in this embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, in a communication karaoke system in which any karaoke device serves as a parent device to manage and update the master reservation list, the karaoke device includes an individual reproduction control command output unit, a reproduction control unit, Is provided. The individual reproduction control command output unit and the reproduction control unit are realized by the control unit 21. The flowchart shown in FIG. 24 corresponds to the flowchart shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, as in the ninth embodiment, it is assumed that the karaoke device 20a is a parent device, and the karaoke device 20b and the smartphone 20 'are connected to a network of karaoke devices. For example, as shown in FIG. 24, when an operation related to music playback control is performed in the karaoke apparatus 20b (S40), the karaoke apparatus 20b determines whether the operation is an operation to be synchronized ( S41). The operations to be synchronized include performance operations such as start, performance stop, redo, fast reverse, fast forward, etc., key control, and tempo control. The operations that are not subject to synchronization are site-specific volume adjustment operations, reservation list and setting state reference / confirmation operations.

After the karaoke apparatus 20b locks its own state, the karaoke apparatus 20b notifies the parent apparatus karaoke apparatus 20a of an individual reproduction control command indicating the content of the operation of the reproduction control, and makes an operation permission inquiry (S400). Upon receiving this inquiry, the karaoke apparatus 20a determines whether or not the content of the reproduction control operation indicated by the individual reproduction control command, for example, the reproduction control command is supported by all the karaoke apparatuses. The determination method may be such that the karaoke device 20a makes an inquiry to another karaoke device, or the contents of reproduction control supported by each karaoke device are stored in advance in the management server 10 and managed from the karaoke device 20a. The content of the reproduction control supported by each karaoke device acquired from the management server 10 may be stored in the karaoke device 20a.

As shown in FIG. 24, when playback control for which an operation permission inquiry has been made is supported by all karaoke apparatuses, the same processing as that in the ninth embodiment is performed (processing after S401). Details of the process are omitted. However, if the playback control for which the operation permission has been inquired is not supported by any of the karaoke apparatuses, the karaoke apparatus 20a, which is the master unit, gives an error notification to the inquiring karaoke apparatus. (S501). Upon receiving this error notification, the karaoke apparatus displays an error and releases the lock (S502).

For example, it is assumed that a karaoke device 20b, which is a karaoke dedicated device, receives a permission inquiry about tempo control operation. Since the karaoke device 20a is the same type of device as the karaoke device 20b, the tempo control performed by the karaoke device 20b can be directly executed in the karaoke device 20a. However, as shown in FIG. 26, the smartphone 20 'does not support tempo control. Therefore, if the tempo control operation is permitted in the karaoke apparatus 20b and the karaoke apparatus 20a, the tempo control cannot be performed in the smartphone 20 ′, and therefore the tempo of the music being reproduced in the karaoke apparatus 20b and the karaoke apparatus 20a. And the tempo of the music reproduced on the smartphone 20 ′ is different. However, in the present embodiment, playback control that is not supported by any of these devices is handled as an error, so that a common playback environment is always provided in a karaoke device network to which different types of devices are connected. It is possible to enjoy karaoke even if each device is in a remote place, or even if the devices connected to the network are different types, as if they were in the same room.

In this embodiment, in the communication karaoke system in which one of the karaoke devices becomes a parent device to manage and update the master reservation list, the playback control supported in each karaoke device is determined in the karaoke device as the parent device. However, such a configuration can also be applied to the tenth embodiment. That is, in the communication karaoke system in which the master reservation list is managed and updated by the management server 10, the relay server 90 that can communicate with the management server 10 is provided, and the relay server 90 determines the playback control supported by each karaoke device. You may do it. Also, in a communication karaoke system in which any karaoke device becomes a parent device to manage and update the master reservation list, a relay server 90 that can communicate with the parent device is provided, and the relay server 90 is supported by each karaoke device. The playback control that is being performed may be determined.
