The “various operations” in the present embodiment include not only various setting operations on the karaoke apparatus 2 but also music selection operations for music.

  The operation panel 22 in the present embodiment is detachably provided to the apparatus main body 21. Further, the apparatus main body 21 and the operation panel 22 are communicably connected by a cable L. By removing the cable L, the communication state between the apparatus main body 21 and the operation panel 22 can be released.

  The apparatus main body 21 performs various controls related to karaoke singing, such as performance control of selected karaoke music, display control of lyrics and background video, and processing of an audio signal input through the microphone 25. The apparatus main body 21 has a control unit 21 a including a CPU and a memory (all not shown). The CPU implements various functions by executing the operation program stored in the memory.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing an example of the software configuration of the apparatus main body 21. As shown in FIG. The device body 21 includes a detection unit 211 and a transmission processing unit 212. The detection unit 211 and the transmission processing unit 212 are realized by the CPU of the control unit 21a executing an operation program stored in the memory.

  The detection unit 211 detects whether the operation panel 22 can communicate with the apparatus main body 21.

  Specifically, the detection unit 211 detects whether communication is possible by confirming the communication state between the operation panel 22 and the apparatus main body 21 at a predetermined timing. For example, in the case of removing the cable L from the operation panel 22 due to a failure of the operation panel 22 or the like to release the communication state, or in the case of reconnecting the repaired operation panel 22 to the apparatus main body 21 either The unit 211 can check the communication state.

  The transmission processing unit 212 according to the present embodiment has a first device identifier corresponding to the karaoke device 2 when the detection result received from the detection unit 211 is not communicable with the device body 21 of the operation panel 22. , And a non-communication flag signal to the server 4. On the other hand, when the detection result received from the detection unit 211 indicates that the operation panel 22 can communicate with the device main body 21, the transmission processing unit 212 communicates the first device identifier corresponding to the karaoke device 2 and the communication A flag signal is sent to the server 4.

  The non-communication flag signal is a signal for setting a flag indicating that the operation panel 22 can not communicate with the apparatus main body 21. The communication flag signal is a signal indicating that the operation panel 22 can communicate with the apparatus main body 21. The communication flag signal is a signal for lowering the non-communication flag when it is already set. The first device identifier is assigned different data for each karaoke device 2. That is, by confirming the first device identifier, one karaoke device 2 can be specified from a plurality of karaoke devices 2.

  Specifically, when the transmission processing unit 212 receives a signal (detection result) indicating that the operation panel 22 can not communicate with the device main body 21 from the detection unit 211, the transmission processing unit 212 receives the first device identifier as the device main body. Acquired from the memory etc. of 21. Then, the transmission processing unit 212 adds a non-communication flag signal to the first device identifier and transmits the first device identifier to the server 4. On the other hand, even when the transmission processing unit 212 receives a signal (detection result) to the effect that the operation panel 22 can communicate with the device main body 21 from the detection unit 211, the first device identifier Acquired from the memory etc. of 21. Then, the transmission processing unit 212 adds a communication flag signal to the first device identifier, and transmits the first device identifier to the server 4. Such a transmission processing unit 212 is an example of a “device-side transmission processing unit”.

== Mobile terminal ==
The portable terminal 3 can use a general smart phone, a tablet terminal or the like. The portable terminal 3 can execute various programs by installing predetermined application software.

  In the present embodiment, the portable terminal 3 is installed with software capable of inputting a command for performing remote control of the karaoke apparatus 2 through the server 4. By executing this software, the portable terminal 3 functions as an identifier acquisition unit 301, a transmission processing unit 302, and a command control unit 303 (see FIG. 4).

  The identifier acquisition unit 301 acquires the second device identifier from the karaoke device 2. For example, the camera function of the portable terminal 3 is used to read a barcode or a two-dimensional code (for example, QR code (registered trademark)) provided in the karaoke apparatus 2. Data (second device identifier) for identifying at least the karaoke device 2 are recorded in these codes. The identifier acquisition unit 301 analyzes the read code and acquires a second device identifier. In one karaoke apparatus 2, the first apparatus identifier and the second apparatus identifier are common.

  Acquisition of the second device identifier is not limited to the example using the camera function. For example, an ID preset for each karaoke device 2 is input on the screen of the portable terminal 3. In this case, the identifier acquisition unit 301 acquires a second device identifier corresponding to the input ID.

  The transmission processing unit 302 transmits the second device identifier acquired by the identifier acquisition unit 301 and the terminal identifier of the portable terminal 3 to the server 4. The mobile terminal 3 has a different identifier (for example, a telephone number) for each terminal.

  As a specific example, when the second device identifier is acquired by the identifier acquiring unit 301, an icon for confirming whether the device identifier is to be transmitted to the server 4 is displayed on the screen of the portable terminal 3. When the icon is selected, the transmission processing unit 302 transmits the terminal identifier of the portable terminal 3 to the server 4 together with the second device identifier. Such a transmission processing unit 302 is an example of a “terminal-side transmission processing unit”.

  The command control unit 303 controls the command input for remotely operating the karaoke apparatus 2 by the portable terminal 3. The command control unit 303 causes a plurality of operation buttons to be displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal. For example, buttons for raising and lowering the karaoke volume and echo level. When a certain operation button is selected, the command control unit 303 transmits to the server 4 a signal for causing the command of the operation button to be executed. The command control unit 303 also transmits the terminal identifier to the server 4 together with the command signal.

== server ==
The server 4 is a computer that accumulates and manages various information related to a karaoke user, the karaoke apparatus 2 and the like. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the server 4. The server 4 includes a control unit 40, a communication unit 41, and a storage unit 42. Each configuration is connected to the bus B via an interface (not shown).

  The control unit 40 includes a CPU 40a and a memory 40b. The CPU 40a realizes various functions by executing an operation program stored in the memory 40b. The memory 40 b is a storage device that stores a program executed by the CPU 40 a and temporarily stores various information when the program is executed. The communication unit 41 provides an interface for connecting the server 4 to the network N. The storage unit 42 is a storage device for storing various data, and is, for example, a hard disk drive.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the software configuration of the server 4. The server 4 includes a first storage processing unit 401, a first determination unit 402, a second storage processing unit 403, a second determination unit 404, and a transfer unit 405. The first storage processing unit 401, the first determination unit 402, the second storage processing unit 403, the second determination unit 404, and the transfer unit 405 cause the CPU 40a to execute a program stored in the memory 40b. To be realized.

  The first storage processing unit 401 causes the storage unit 42 to store the uncommunicated flag signal transmitted from the karaoke device 2 in association with the first device identifier.

  For example, a management table as shown in FIG. 7A is set in the storage unit 42. When a first apparatus identifier X and an uncommunicated flag signal are sent from a certain karaoke apparatus 2, the first storage processing unit 401 registers the first apparatus identifier X in the management table and sets an uncommunicated flag. (Indicated by “o” in FIG. 7A). On the other hand, when the first apparatus identifier X and the communication flag signal are sent from the karaoke apparatus 2, the first storage processing unit 401 performs a process of deleting the first apparatus identifier X from the storage unit 42. The server 4 can manage information related to the karaoke apparatus 2 in which the operation panel 22 and the apparatus main body 21 are not in communication with each other based on such a management table.

  When the first determination unit 402 receives a second device identifier from a certain portable terminal 3, the first device identifier that matches the second device identifier and in which the uncommunicated flag is set is the storage unit It is judged whether or not it is stored in 42.

  For example, when the second device identifier X is received from a certain portable terminal 3, the first determination unit 402 is a device identifier that matches the second device identifier X in the management table of FIG. 7A, and Look for the first device identifier for which the uncommunicated flag is set. In the management table of FIG. 7A, there is a first device identifier X in which a non-communication flag is set. Therefore, the first determination unit 402 determines that the first device identifier X that matches the second device identifier X and in which the uncommunicated flag is set is stored in the storage unit 42.

  If the second storage processing unit 403 stores a first device identifier that matches the second device identifier and for which the uncommunicated flag is set in the storage unit 42, the second storage processing unit 403 The terminal identifier of the portable terminal 3 that has transmitted the second device identifier is associated and stored.

  For example, the second storage processing unit 403 stores the terminal identifier α of the portable terminal 3 that has transmitted the second device identifier X with the first device identifier X stored in the management table of FIG. 7A. (See FIG. 7B). As described above, the terminal identifier is transmitted from the portable terminal 3 together with the second device identifier.

  When a command is input from a certain portable terminal 3, the second determination unit 404 determines whether the storage unit 42 stores the terminal identifier of the portable terminal 3 transmitted together with the command.

  For example, it is assumed that a command for remotely operating the karaoke apparatus 2 is input from the portable terminal 3 of the terminal identifier α. In this case, the second determination unit 404 determines whether the terminal identifier α transmitted together with the command is stored in the management table of the storage unit 42. According to the management table of FIG. 7B, the terminal identifier α is associated with the first device identifier X. Thus, the second determination unit 404 determines that the terminal identifier α transmitted together with the command is stored in the storage unit 42.

  When the terminal identifier transmitted together with the command is stored in the storage unit 42, the transfer unit 405 inputs the command input to the karaoke apparatus 2 having the first device identifier associated with the terminal identifier. Transfer

  As described above, when a command is transmitted from the portable terminal 3, the terminal identifier of the portable terminal 3 to which the command has been input is transmitted together with the command. The transfer unit 405 confirms whether the received terminal identifier is stored in the storage unit 42, and if stored, transfers the input command to the karaoke apparatus 2 associated with the terminal identifier. Do. For example, in the management table of FIG. 7B, it is assumed that the terminal identifier α is received together with the command. In this case, the transfer unit 405 transfers the command to the karaoke device 2 identified by the device identifier X associated with the terminal identifier α. As a result, even when the operation panel 22 of the karaoke apparatus 2 can not be used due to a failure or the like, the karaoke apparatus 2 can be remotely controlled from the specific portable terminal 3 via the server 4.

== About the operation of the karaoke system ==
Next, a specific example of the operation of the karaoke system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the karaoke system 1. In this example, it is assumed that software for enabling input of a command for performing remote control of the karaoke apparatus 2 via the server 4 is installed in the portable terminal 3.

  First, the detection unit 211 detects whether the operation panel 22 can communicate with the apparatus main body 21 (detection of communication state: step 10). When the operation panel 22 can communicate with the apparatus main body 21, various operations of the karaoke apparatus 2 can be performed by the operation input from the operation panel 22.

  On the other hand, for example, it is assumed that the operation panel 22 is removed from the apparatus main body 21 because the operation panel 22 is broken and can not be operated. In such a case, the detection unit 211 detects that the operation panel 22 can not communicate with the apparatus main body 21. As described above, when the operation panel 22 can not communicate with the device body 21, the transmission processing unit 212 sends the server 4 the first device identifier corresponding to the karaoke device 2 and the uncommunicated flag signal. Send (send unsent communication flag etc. Step 11).

  In the server 4, the first storage processing unit 401 associates the uncommunicated flag signal transmitted in step 11 with the first device identifier and stores it in the storage unit 42 (storage of uncommunicated flag etc. step 12).

  Here, when it is thought that the store clerk or the like of the store wants to operate the karaoke apparatus 2 using his / her portable terminal 3 in a situation where the operation panel 22 can not be used, the second attached to the karaoke apparatus 2 by the portable terminal 3 The dimension code or the like is read to obtain a second device identifier.

  The transmission processing unit 302 transmits the acquired second device identifier and the terminal identifier of the portable terminal 3 used for acquiring the second device identifier to the server 4 (transmission of terminal identifier etc. Step 13).

  In the server 4, when the first determination unit 402 receives the second device identifier transmitted in step 13, the first determination unit 402 matches the second device identifier, and the first communication flag is set. It is determined whether the device identifier is stored in the storage unit 42 (device identifier present? Step 14).

  When the first device identifier that matches the second device identifier transmitted in step 13 and in which the uncommunicated flag is set is stored in the storage unit 42 (in the case of Y in step 14), the second device identifier The storage processing unit 403 associates the first device identifier with the terminal identifier of the portable terminal 3 that has transmitted the second device identifier in step 13 and stores the same (storage of terminal identifier: step 15).

  On the other hand, if the first device identifier that matches the second device identifier transmitted in step 13 and has the uncommunicated flag set is not stored in the storage unit 42 (in the case of N in step 14), The second storage processing unit 403 does not perform the processing after step 15.

  Next, it is assumed that a command for operating the karaoke apparatus 2 is input from the portable terminal 3 (input of command. Step 16). In this case, the second determination unit 404 determines whether the terminal identifier of the portable terminal 3 transmitted together with the command is stored in the storage unit 42 (with terminal identifier? Step 17).

  When the terminal identifier transmitted together with the command is stored in the storage unit 42 (in the case of Y at step 17), the transfer unit 405 has the first device identifier associated with the terminal identifier. Transfer the input command to 2 (transfer of command. Step 18). Thereby, the karaoke apparatus 2 is remotely operated by the portable terminal 3. On the other hand, when the terminal identifier transmitted together with the command is not stored in the storage unit 42 (in the case of N at step 17), the transfer unit 405 discards the data of the command and does not perform the transfer process of step 18.

  As described above, according to the karaoke system 1 according to the present embodiment, even when the operation panel 22 can not be used due to a failure or the like, the user can easily operate the karaoke apparatus 2 using the portable terminal 3 It is possible. Therefore, it is convenient because the karaoke apparatus 2 can be used even before a substitute is available. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to stop the singing even while using the karaoke apparatus 2, the interest of the karaoke singing will not be lost.

  When a plurality of terminal identifiers are associated with one device identifier, one karaoke device 2 can be operated from each portable terminal 3. In this case, the setting may be changed without the manager of the store or the like grasping it, or a music selection may be performed, which may cause inconvenience.

  Therefore, even if the other mobile terminal 3 has transmitted a device identifier corresponding to the device identifier of the karaoke device 2 to the karaoke device 2 already associated with one terminal identifier, the terminal It is possible not to register an identifier. Specifically, in the case where one terminal identifier is already associated with a certain first device identifier, the second storage processing unit 403 makes it possible to use another terminal identifier for the first device identifier. Do not associate and register. In the case where one terminal identifier is already associated with a certain first device identifier, and a new terminal identifier is transmitted, the second storage processing unit 403 selects a new terminal identifier. You may overwrite and register.

  Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which a dedicated management table is provided in the storage unit 42 has been described. For example, since the server 4 manages a plurality of karaoke devices 2, the server 4 normally has a list including information (first device identifier) for identifying each of the karaoke devices 2. Therefore, it is possible to use this list instead of a dedicated management table. For example, when the first device identifier and the non-communication flag signal are received, the first storage processing unit 401 searches for the first device identifier from the list, and associates the non-communication flag signal (sets the non-communication flag). . In addition, when the communication flag is received, the first storage processing unit 401 performs a process of dropping the non-communication flag from the list.

  Furthermore, when transmitting the first device identifier corresponding to the karaoke device 2 and the uncommunicated flag signal to the server 4, it also includes setting value information such as karaoke volume and echo level currently set in the device main body 21. May be sent. In this case, the portable terminal that has stored the setting value information and the uncommunicated flag signal in the storage unit 42 in association with the first device identifier in the server 4 and transmits the terminal identifier associated with the first device identifier later. This setting value information is sent back to 3. The portable terminal 3 stores the setting value information received from the server 4 and displays it as the setting value of the operation button item corresponding to the setting value information, and at each time the setting value information changed based on the input of the operation button By updating and displaying on the screen, the store clerk or the like of the store can operate while referring to the current setting value.

Second Embodiment
A karaoke system 1 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the first embodiment, when the operation panel 22 can communicate with the device main body 21, the server 4 side may delete the first device identifier from the storage unit 42 or the like. An example of disabling command input has been described. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, an example will be described in which the karaoke apparatus 2 side invalidates the command input from the portable terminal 3. A detailed description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment will be omitted.

  The mode control unit 213 sets the normal mode and the remote control mode for the karaoke apparatus 2. In the normal mode, when various operations of the karaoke apparatus 2 are performed, only the input from the operation panel 22 is accepted. The remote control mode receives a command from the portable terminal 3 when performing various operations of the karaoke apparatus 2.

  The mode control unit 213 sets the remote control mode when the operation panel 22 can not communicate with the apparatus main body 21, and when the operation panel 22 can communicate with the apparatus main body 21. Sets the normal mode.

  As described above, by setting the mode (normal mode) for prohibiting the remote control on the karaoke apparatus 2 side, the communication flag signal is transmitted to the server 4 each time the communication state of the operation panel 22 is recovered, and stored. A process of deleting the device identifier from the unit 42 is not necessary. Further, even if the server 4 transfers a command received from the portable terminal 3, when the karaoke apparatus 2 is set to the normal mode, the operation of the karaoke apparatus 2 is not executed by the command. Therefore, the inconvenience that the setting is arbitrarily changed can not occur.

  The above embodiments can be realized by causing a computer or a microprocessor to execute the various processes described above. In this case, all the processes may be prepared as a program, or some processes may be processed by hardware and the remaining processes may be prepared as a program. It is also possible to supply the program to a computer using a non-transitory computer readable medium in which an executable program is stored. Examples of non-transitory computer readable media include magnetic recording media and CD-ROMs.

  The above embodiments are presented as examples and do not limit the scope of the invention. In addition, the above configurations can be implemented in combination as appropriate, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
