The present invention relates to a karaoke remote control device used in an environment.

  In the karaoke apparatus, reservation of music to be sung is performed by remote operation using a remote control device. Conventional remote control devices that use infrared communication with a numeric keypad have been used, but with the development of information processing devices, it has a display screen and can provide various information to the user. Large amounts of data can be sent and received using high-speed wireless communication. Further, the remote control device can provide services corresponding to each user by handling user information.

  When performing a service corresponding to the user, the user performs user authentication (login) to the host server or karaoke device by inputting the user identifier and password from the remote control device, and the remote control device is connected from the host server or karaoke device. You can receive services that correspond to each person. For the service, it is possible to provide a service according to the authenticated user, such as simply reserving a favorite music pre-registered or a previously sung music.

  By the way, when using a remote control device or a facility with a karaoke device installed in each room, such as a karaoke box, the number of people in a general group who enjoy karaoke (about several people), the area of the room, the number of chairs, table size, etc. Therefore, in many cases, the number of persons allowed for the service in the room is set in advance. However, it may be used in groups exceeding the allowable number of people in each room assumed by a karaoke box, for example, at a secondary party such as a wedding. In such a case, the facility side assigns a plurality of rooms to the group for use. Even under such circumstances, the users in the group can, for example, go back and forth between adjacent rooms to interact with the users in the group and enjoy singing.

  Under such circumstances, when a remote control device that can log in is used, the user may log in in each room to be used. In Patent Literature 1, when members of a group registered in advance are logged in and distributed to a plurality of karaoke performance terminals connected to a network, each karaoke performance terminal is synchronized with other karaoke performance terminals at the same time. A login user copy system that copies and authenticates constituent members of a logged-in group as a virtual login user is disclosed. According to this system, when a plurality of users constituting a group perform singing in different karaoke rooms, there is no need to perform login and logout operations a plurality of times.

The present invention relates to a karaoke remote control device in which a plurality of users can log in at the same time and use their services, and in particular, in a user interface for switching between logged-in users, The purpose is to improve usage efficiency.

Therefore, the karaoke remote control device according to the present invention is
In the karaoke remote control device used in association with the karaoke device,
An input means for accepting various inputs from the user;
Communication means for receiving operation information generated based on use in other karaoke remote control devices;
A login process, a user display process, a switching process, and a control means for executing a movement process,
The login process registers a user who has been authenticated based on an input from a user in a user sequence.
The user display processing displays specific information of a predetermined number of users adjacent in the user permutation in a display frame displayed on a display means,
The switching process is performed by selecting the specific information displayed in the display frame from the input unit, thereby switching to a process corresponding to the user corresponding to the selected specific information,
In the movement process, the operation information received by the communication means is information based on the use of the karaoke remote control device associated with the other karaoke device, and a user registered in the user permutation If it is determined that the user is identical, the position of the determined user in the user permutation is moved.

Furthermore, in the karaoke remote control device according to the present invention,
The movement process is executed on condition that the number of used users registered in the used user permutation exceeds the number of the specific information that can be displayed in the display frame. The position in the user permutation is moved to the head or tail.

Furthermore, in the karaoke remote control device according to the present invention,
The operation information is generated based on a music reservation operation by a user or an operation requiring authentication.

  According to the present invention, in a karaoke remote control device that can be used by authenticating a plurality of users with one device, when the use by the same user is detected by a karaoke remote control device associated with another karaoke device, By moving the user's position in the user permutation, it is possible to display the image of the user who is used in another room outside the display frame and to be actually in the room Thus, it is possible to continuously display a user having a problem in the display frame and improve the operability of the user.

  Furthermore, the moving process is executed on the condition that the number of users registered in the user permutation exceeds the number of phantom images that can be displayed in the display frame. The user remembers the order of the ghost images displayed in the display frame, and may perform an operation for switching the user depending on the remembering of the order of the ghost images. By adding such conditions, it is possible to improve the operability without unnecessarily moving the order of the user's images displayed in the display frame.

Further, it is assumed that the operation information used for the determination in the movement process is generated based on a music reservation operation by the user or an operation requiring authentication. In a karaoke remote control device used by a plurality of people, a user's preference may be browsed by displaying other users' registered songs. In such a case, although it is an operation of another user, it is determined that the operation is the user's own operation. Therefore, the operation information is limited to operations that only the user is supposed to perform, such as music reservation operations and operations that require authentication, such as entering a password, so that the accuracy of determining the use of the user is determined. Can be improved.

Further, the remote control device 1 is connected to a network constituted by the LAN 100 by being wirelessly connected to the access point 110 by the wireless LAN communication unit 16. Each remote control device 1 is associated with a specific commander 2 in advance. Various commands output from the remote control device 1 are received by the associated commander 2. In consideration of the situation in which the LAN 100 cannot be used, the remote control device 1 and the commander 2 may be provided with short-distance communication using infrared rays, Bluetooth (registered trademark), or the like in advance.

  With such a configuration of the remote control device 1, the control unit 15 receives various inputs from the user at the operation unit 17, displays video information on the display unit 11, and provides various information to the user. Various instructions such as music reservation can be transmitted to the commander 2 or the karaoke host 5.

  Furthermore, the network formed by the karaoke system of the present embodiment is connected to the karaoke host 5 via the Internet. Information necessary for various services such as music information and user information is stored in the storage unit 51 as storage means of the karaoke host 5. The music information newly added to the storage unit 51 is transmitted to the commander 2 so that new music can be added by distribution. The user information is information related to a user who has registered as a member in advance, and is stored in the memory 14 of the remote control device 1 by executing a login process in which the remote control device 1 inputs a user identifier and a password. A logged-in user can receive a service suitable for the user based on the user information.

As a service using user information, a user's favorite music or favorite singer (artist) registered in advance by the user is read from the user information and a simple music selection is performed, or scoring when singing music There are services such as competing results (scoring information) with other registered users. In this embodiment, one user can log in simultaneously with a plurality of remote control devices 1 (so-called double login) in consideration of the use form unique to karaoke.
Specifically, the user logs in to the remote control device 1a shown in FIG. 1 and logs in from another remote control device 1b.
In FIG. 1, the remote control device 1 a and the remote control device 1 b access the commander 2 through a common access point 110.

If login authentication is performed by the karaoke host 5, even if the remote controllers 1a and 1b are in different rooms, each remote controller 1 authenticates with the karaoke host 5 so that one user can use multiple remote controllers. You can log in at the same time. At this time, the commander 2 controlled by the remote controllers 1a and 1b uses each commander 2 in the room in which each is installed. Although not shown, the commanders 2 in each room can communicate with each other via the LAN 100.

Now, the use of the remote control device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. FIG.
These are figures which show the screen of the karaoke remote control apparatus which concerns on embodiment of this invention. As described above, the remote control device 1 of the present embodiment can receive a service suitable for each user by executing a login process. In addition, in consideration of the use form of karaoke in which a plurality of users gather and share the remote control device 1, a plurality of users can log in to the single remote control device 1 at the same time.

  FIG. 2 shows a screen (display frame 101, details of which will be described later) of the display unit 11 of the remote control device 1 in a situation where a plurality of users have logged in. A user can switch to a service using his / her user information by selecting specific information for identifying himself / herself from among logged-in users. Services include a service for simply searching for previously registered songs and singers, and a service for browsing the history of songs sung so far. In the present embodiment, an avatar (self-portrait) and a user name imitating the self or created by the user are used as the specific information for identifying the self. In addition, as specific information, it is good also as only an avatar (another image) or only a user name. In addition, various notations such as icons, photos, characters, etc. that allow the user to identify themselves can be adopted.

  The state displayed in FIG. 2 is a state where “Mr. A” is selected from a plurality of logged-in users, and an avatar “Mr. A” is displayed on the right side of the screen. Based on the user information of “Mr. A”, a service specialized for “Mr. A” is being performed. A user who is receiving a service is called an active user. In the state of FIG. 2, “Mr. A” can be said to be an active user.

Switching of the active user is executed by selecting specific information (configured by an avatar and a user name in the present embodiment) in the display frame 101 displayed at the upper left of the screen. In order to make effective use of the limited display area, the remote control device 1 can display a predetermined number of logged-in users at the same time, rather than expanding the display area in an unlimited manner to display all logged-in users. A display frame 101 is provided as a predetermined area frame.
This display frame 101 can display the specific information of login users at a time until the number of login users reaches a predetermined number. In this embodiment, the display area frame of the display frame 101 is for five persons. The predetermined number of persons is determined in advance assuming the number of general karaoke groups. The switching of the active user is displayed when the user touches the movement buttons 102 a and 102 b displayed on the left and right of the display frame 101 to display his / her specific information (avatar and user name) in the display frame 101. The specific information is executed by touch selection.

  FIG. 3 shows a state of changing the specific information (avatar) displayed in the display frame according to the embodiment of the present invention. In each figure, seven users “Mr. A” to “Mr. G” are logged in. In this embodiment, the user is registered in the use user permutation in the order of login in the login process to the karaoke host 5. The use user permutation is a table managed on the memory 14 of the remote control device 1 and stores the order for each logged-in user. Based on the user permutation, user specific information is displayed in the display frame 101.

As described above, the display frame 101 of this embodiment can display specific information for five people. When more users log in, the specific information displayed in the display frame 101 is changed by operating the movement button 102a or 102b. FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing the relationship between the specific information (in this case, the avatar and the user name) displayed in the display frame 101 and the user permutation, and from “Mr. A” to the right. Seven users are logged in order up to “Mr. G”. FIG. 3A shows that among the seven users, five users from “Mr. A” to “Mr. E” are displayed in the display frame 10.
1 is displayed. In this state, “Mr. A” to “Mr. E” displayed in the display frame 101 are switched as active users by selecting specific information of each login user displayed in the display frame 101. Is possible.

  Consider a case where “Mr. G” not displayed in the display frame 101 is switched to an active user. In this case, “Mr. G” needs to be displayed in the display frame 101, and the user operates the movement button 102a. FIG. 3B shows a state when the movement button 102a is operated once. The display portion, that is, the display frame 101 moves to the right by one user on the user permutation. By performing the same operation again, the specific information of “Mr. G” can be displayed as shown in FIG. When “Mr. G” is an active user, “Mr. G” can be switched to an active user by selecting specific information. The selection of the specific information is executed by an operation by the operation unit 17. For example, when the operation unit 17 is configured by a touch panel including the display unit 11, it can be executed by touching the specific information with a touch pen or a finger.

  In this way, a plurality of users log in, and the remote control device is provided with a service using user information by switching users. Such a touch panel is used to log in a predetermined area on the panel display screen. When the specific information is displayed and the specific information is touch-selected, the following problem occurs in the user interface in which user switching is performed.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the situation of a room where karaoke is used. When a large group visits a karaoke box or the like, the number of people in the group may exceed the allowable number of people in each room. In such a case, the store side responds by using a plurality of rooms. In each room, a commander 2 as a karaoke device and a remote control device 1 associated therewith are installed. As shown in FIG. 4, when a group of 10 people from “Mr. A” to “Mr. J” comes to the store, 6 people and 4 people can use two rooms.
Here, “Mr. D” and “Mr. G” will be described as an example.

Since “Mr. D” is initially in the room 1, he logs in from the remote control device 1 a and acquires the singing history (for example, pitch key setting) from the karaoke host 5. The screen of the display unit 11 is switched to the screen for “Mr. D”, becomes an active user, reflects the singing history in the song to be reserved, makes a song reservation to the commander 2a, and performs a song.
Similarly, “Mr. G” logs in from the remote control device 1 b in the room 2 and acquires the singing history (for example, pitch key setting) from the karaoke host 5. Then, the screen of the display unit 11 is switched to the screen for “Mr. G”, the singing history is reflected on the song to be reserved, and the song reservation is made to the commander 2b to perform the song.
In such a case, even if the rooms are divided, since they are the same group, the user may move the room across the rooms in order to exchange each other. FIG. 4 shows the state after the movement. Initially, room 1 is used by 6 people from “Mr. A” to “Mr. F”, and room 2 is used by 4 people from “Mr.” to “Mr. J”. On the other hand, “Mr. D” and “Mr. G” are interchanged.

In such a case, “Mr. G” uses the remote control device 1 a installed in the moved room 1 to execute the login process again, and “Mr. D” is installed in the moved room 2. It is conceivable to execute the login process again using the remote control device 1b. In the karaoke system of the present embodiment, one user can log in (double login) on the remote control device 1 associated with different commanders 2.
Therefore, “Mr. D” after moving to the room 2 does not use the remote control device 1 a and the commander 2 a installed in the room 1, but “Mr. D” has logged into the remote control 1 a. It has become.
Similarly, “Mr. G” after moving to the room 1 is also logged in to the remote control 1b even though the remote control device 1b and the commander 2b installed in the room 2 are not used.
Unlike a general computer terminal login, the remote control in karaoke obtains the singing history (such as pitch key setting) of the logged-in user from the karaoke host 5 at the time of login, and the reservation of the song is made to the commander 2 in the same room. Since the singing history is also reflected at that time and the song is played from the commander 2 in the same room, such double login is permitted.

  The login situation of the display frame 101 shown in FIG. 3 is the same as the situation after the movement in the room 1 of FIG. “Mr. D” located almost in the middle of the user permutation has moved to the room 2 and is not used as an active user in the room 1. In such a case, in order to display “Mr. G” from the state of FIG. 3A, it is necessary to operate the movement button 102a twice as described above. Further, in order to display “Mr. A” from the state of FIG. 3B, it is necessary to operate the movement button 102b twice.

  In consideration of such a situation, in the present embodiment, for a user who is determined to use the remote control device 1 associated with another commander 2, by changing the position in the usage user permutation, A move button for a user in the same room as the user who is determined to use the remote control device 1 associated with the commander 2 (a user who is left in the room 1 after “Mr. D” has moved from the room 1 to the room 2) The number of operations of 102a and 102b is reduced, and the use efficiency of the user is improved.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the display position changing process according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, in order to determine the use of the remote control device 1 associated with another commander 2, each remote control device 1 transmits operation information on the network (LAN 100) when a predetermined operation is performed, Each remote controller 1 (remote controller 1a, remote controller 1b) shares the operation information of the logged-in user when other remote controllers 1 receive it. The operation information transmitted from one remote control device 1 to the network is received by the other remote control device 1, whereby the user's usage status on the same network is determined. The flow of transmission and reception of operation information is shown in FIG. The description of FIG. 7 will be described later.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a data configuration of operation information according to the embodiment of the present invention. The operation information is information that includes a commander identifier, a user identifier, and operation details, and is information that is transmitted when the remote controller 1 is operated. The commander identifier is information for identifying the commander 2 associated with the remote control device 1. For example, in the case of FIG. 4, when the operation of the remote control device 1a is performed, the remote control device 1a includes the commander identifier of the commander 2a associated therewith in the operation information. The user identifier is an identifier indicating a user who has performed an operation, and specifically, is a user identifier of a user selected as an active user in the remote control device. The operation content is information indicating the operation content performed in the remote control device 1, and as shown in the figure, the operation content of the remote control device 1 such as music reservation, login, setting change, my song browsing, my artist browsing, etc. , Information indicating the situation.

The transmission of operation information from one remote control device 1 to another remote control device 1 connected on the same network can take various forms. FIG. 7 shows various modes for transmitting operation information according to the embodiment of the present invention. Here, various modes of transmission of operation information from the remote control device 1b installed in the room 2 described in FIG. 4 to the remote control device 1a installed in the room 1 are shown. The operation information is transmitted to other remote control devices 1 connected to the same network in addition to the remote control device 1a installed in the room 1.

  FIG. 7A illustrates a case where operation information is directly transmitted and received between the remote control devices 1b and 1a. Operation information generated by performing a predetermined operation on the remote control device 1b is transmitted to the remote control device 1a via the network, and the display position changing process is started. FIG. 7B shows a case where the operation information is transmitted via the commander 2b on the transmission side. The operation information transmitted from the remote control device 1b is relayed by the commander 2b and transmitted to the remote control device 1a installed in the room 1 via the network. FIG. 7C shows a mode in which the operation information is relayed by the commander 2 on both the transmission side and reception side of the operation information. The operation information generated by the operation of the remote control device 1b is relayed by the commander 2b associated therewith and transmitted to the commander 2a via the network. The commander 2a that has received the operation information transmits it to the associated remote controller 1a.

Now, display position change processing performed based on operation information received in such various communication modes will be described. The flowchart of FIG. 5 is a process executed on the remote control device 1 side, and is executed by receiving the above-described operation information. When the operation information from another remote control device is received in S101, the processing after S102 is started. In S102, it is determined whether the received operation information is transmitted from the remote control device 1 in the same room. This determination can be made by examining the commander identifier included in the operation information.
The identifiers (IP address, serial number, etc.) of the remote controller 1 and the commander 2 are stored in advance in each other's storage means, or are associated with the remote controller 1 and the commander 2 (common name: linking, linking). Acquire each other's identifier at the timing. Therefore, the remote control device 1 can check the commander identifier.
The commander identifier included in the operation information is compared with the commander identifier of the commander 2 with which the received remote control device 1 is associated. In the same case, the transmission is from the remote control device 1 in the same room. In this case, it is determined that the transmission is from the remote control device 1 in a different room.

  If the operation information is from the remote control device 1 associated with the commander 2 in the same room (S102: Yes), it is not necessary to move the specific information, so the next operation information is awaited. On the other hand, when the operation information is from the remote control device 1 in a different room (S102: No), the process proceeds to the next process.

  In S103, it is determined whether or not the operation content included in the operation information is a predetermined operation. In the present embodiment, it is determined that the user is performing the operation by himself / herself when a music reservation, login with authentication, or setting change is performed. For example, since my song browsing and my artist browsing of registered songs and singers may be executed by other users, such operation details are excluded as conditions for moving specific information, and the accuracy of identity determination We are going to improve. Therefore, in S103, the specific information is moved only when the operation content is highly likely to be performed by the user himself, such as music reservation, login with authentication, or setting change (S103: Yes).

  In S104, it is determined whether or not the number of logged-in users in the remote control device 1 that has received the operation information is greater than the displayable number (five people in the embodiment of FIG. 2) of the display frame 101. In the present embodiment, as described above, the number of operations of the movement buttons 102a and 102b is reduced to improve the use efficiency. Therefore, when the number of logged-in users is within the displayable number of the display frame 101, the specific information is not moved.

In S105, it is determined whether or not the user corresponding to the user identifier of the operation information is a logged-in user in the remote control device 1. This is performed by comparing the user identifier included in the operation information with the user identifier of the user who has logged in to the remote control device 1 that has received the operation information. If the user identifier in the remote controller 1 matches the user identifier included in the operation information, it is determined that the user is using another remote controller 1.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the various conditions of S102 to S105 are satisfied, the position of the user in the usage user permutation is moved. The movement in the user permutation is reflected in the sequence of the user specifying information displayed on the display unit 11. Note that the determination that the logged-in user is using the remote control device 1 in another room requires the processing of S102 and S105, and the presence or absence of the processing of S103 and S104 is arbitrary. Is possible.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the movement of the specific information (avatar, user name) according to the embodiment of the present invention. This figure corresponds to the situation where the user in FIG. 4 has moved the room, and corresponds to the situation where “Mr. G” is added to the room 1 and “Mr. D” has moved to the room 2. Although the specific information of “Mr. D” that does not exist in the room 1 becomes an obstacle on the user interface, in this embodiment, “Mr. D” is the remote controller 1b of the other room in view of the usage situation in the other room. When it is determined that the user is using, the specific information (avatar, user name) of “Mr. D” displayed on the remote control device 1a in the room 1 is moved.

FIG. 8A shows a state where “Mr. G” has moved to the room 1 and logged in using the remote control device 1a.
In the room 1 before “Mr. G” moved to the room, since the last login was “Mr. F”, the specific information of “Mr. F” is located sixth from the left (FIG. 8). (A)).
At this time, since the display size of the display frame 101 is five, the specific information of “Mr. F” is always located outside the display frame 101, and in order for “Mr. F” to become an active user, it always moves. The display frame 101 must be moved by one person by operating the button 102b once.
(In FIG. 8 (a), “Mr. G” has moved to the room 1 and logged in to the remote control 1a, so the last logged in G is added to the right end.)
At this time, “Mr. D” has moved to the room 2, and the operational problem described above has occurred. Here, when “Mr. D” logs in on the remote control device 1b, the operation information is transmitted to the remote control device 1a. Since the operation information received by the remote control device 1a meets the conditions of S102 to S105 described above, the specific information is moved (S106).

FIG. 8B shows a state after the specific information is moved. In this embodiment, “Mr. D” is moved to the tail in the user permutation. In addition, with the movement of “Mr. D”, a process of moving “Mr. E”, “Mr. F”, and “Mr. G” to the front is executed. By moving in this user permutation,
In the display frame 101, five persons, “Mr. A”, “Mr. B”, “Mr. C”, “Mr. E”, and “Mr. F” are displayed. Therefore, “Mr. F” does not have to operate the movement button 102a. Further, “Mr. G” that cannot be displayed in the display frame 101 can be displayed in the display frame 101 by operating the movement button 102 a once.

In FIG. 8B, the user who is determined to be using another remote control device 1b is moved to the tail of the usage user permutation, but the same may be achieved by moving the user to the head of the usage user permutation. An effect can be obtained. FIG. 8C shows a case where “Mr. D” is moved to the head of the user permutation. Even in such a case, “Mr. A”, “Mr. B”, “Mr. C”, “Mr. E”, “Mr. F”, and “Mr. G” who are actually in the room 1 are selected as active users.
