DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a two-way broadcasting system for composing a broadcast content based on information inputted by a user via a telephone line, and more particularly, to a broadcast prohibition in a message sent by a user. The present invention relates to a two-way broadcasting system that displays a TV image while avoiding words.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional television program is created by a person in charge at a broadcasting station. Although there are programs in which the user participates, the broadcasting itself is generally performed only in one direction from the broadcasting station to the user. On the other hand, an interactive broadcasting system that allows a user to request broadcast contents using a telephone line has been used.

For example, as an interactive broadcasting system, CA
There is a request program for karaoke performed by local cable broadcasting such as a TV system. In this method, a user inputs request information to a broadcasting station via a telephone line using a telephone, and a karaoke music performance program configured according to the input request information is broadcast to a cable broadcast. is there. Generally, in a two-way karaoke program, a broadcast station automatically receives a request phone from a user, and inputs a song number in a predetermined format using a dial key. Next, the received tune number is input to the karaoke apparatus by reservation, and the karaoke tune is automatically selected and played in accordance with a predetermined priority order such as the order of the number of reservations or the order of the number of reservations. Therefore, the request is made personally, but the broadcast is transmitted to an unspecified majority. The user views this program by receiving it with a wired TV receiver.

[0004] As described above, in the karaoke program by the conventional interactive broadcasting system, only the input of a music number in a predetermined format is accepted. Therefore, only the requested song is broadcast. On the other hand, for example, in a radio request program or the like, the postcard together with the title of the requested song is
Write an episode and a message to the audience about the song, and if adopted, DJ with the performance of the requested song
Can be read aloud. On the other hand,
In the two-way broadcasting system, karaoke songs were broadcast, but no personal information such as messages was accepted.
This is unsatisfactory for the user making the request, and for the viewers of the program, there is a problem that the karaoke tunes are merely played one after another, which makes the program less interesting.

[0005] Therefore, when a user sends a request, personal information such as an episode related to the song and a message to the viewer is input together with the song number of the requested song, and the input information is converted to the requested song. A two-way broadcasting system capable of broadcasting a character image simultaneously with a performance has been considered.

As a method, a user who makes a request checks the song number of the song to be requested, and further considers a message sent to the request. next,
For example, by using the numeric character conversion table shown in FIG.
Converts one character to two digits each. For example, "ki" is <
22> and “R” are converted to <48>. For example, if you want to input “Hatsuko no Uta.”
2512551344144043385 ". In addition, add "##" at the end of the sentence to indicate the end,
After the requested song number, input from the dial key of the telephone.

[0007] The broadcasting station separates the input requested song number from the message text, and the message text is automatically converted into characters by the numeric character conversion table of FIG. 4 and is created as a character image. Further, when the requested karaoke song is broadcast, the message sentence converted into the character image is combined with the karaoke image and broadcast. Therefore, in the broadcast karaoke program, the lyrics of the karaoke song are displayed in the lower part of the screen while the lyrics of the karaoke song progress, superimposed on the background image suitable for the atmosphere of the song. At the top of the screen, a message sent by the user who has requested the karaoke song is displayed as a character image for a certain period of time. For example, in the above example, "Hatsu no Uta is a song." The viewer can receive this karaoke broadcast with a cable TV receiver and watch it.

[0008]

However, in the conventional interactive broadcasting system, the message information input by the user is automatically converted into a character image as it is and broadcast.
Therefore, even if a message input by the user includes a broadcast prohibition word such as a discriminatory word, the message is directly converted to characters and broadcast. As described above, in the two-way broadcasting system, although the request and the message input are personally performed, the broadcast is transmitted to an unspecified number of people, so that it is not allowed to broadcast the broadcast prohibited word.

Therefore, it is necessary to check whether broadcast prohibited words such as discriminatory words are included in the message text. If this is done manually, it will be necessary to convert the input message text into characters, check if there are broadcast prohibited words, and if the broadcast prohibited words are included, delete or replace the part . These operations are extremely complicated and time-consuming, and it is difficult to perform these operations in accordance with the automatic performance of karaoke songs. Further, there is a problem that it becomes more difficult when a large number of requests and messages are input to one karaoke song.

[0010] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and it is possible to automatically check an input message sentence to check whether a broadcast prohibition word is included. If it is included, provide a two-way broadcasting system that can create a broadcastable message sentence that avoids the broadcast prohibited word by deleting that part or replacing it with another character or symbol and broadcasting it The purpose is to do.

[0011]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a two-way broadcast system, comprising: a broadcast station that transmits a desired broadcast request information and a message information transmitted from a reception side; In a two-way broadcasting system for combining broadcast information of a broadcast and transmitted message information and transmitting the combined information to a television device on the receiving side, a forbidden word information storage unit for storing a character string of a forbidden word, and a broadcast station receiving the forbidden word information A forbidden word search unit for searching for a broadcast forbidden word stored in the forbidden word information storage unit from the message information obtained.

[0012] In the interactive broadcast system according to the first aspect, the prohibited word search means searches the message information received on the broadcast station side and checks whether or not the broadcast prohibited word stored in the prohibited word information storage means is included. . As described above, the prohibited word search unit can easily search for broadcast prohibited words in the message information.

Further, in the interactive broadcast system according to claim 2, in the interactive broadcast system according to claim 1, when the prohibited word search means detects a broadcast prohibited word in the message information, the broadcast prohibited word is replaced with the broadcast prohibited word. A prohibition word deletion unit for deleting from the message information is provided. Claim 2

Therefore, it is possible to delete the broadcast prohibited word before the message information is broadcast, and it is possible to very easily create and broadcast the message information avoiding the broadcast prohibited word.

Further, in the interactive broadcast system according to claim 3, in the interactive broadcast system according to claim 1, when the prohibited word search means detects a broadcast prohibited word in the message information, the broadcast prohibited word is replaced with the broadcast prohibited word. A forbidden word replacing means for deleting from the message information and replacing it with a prepared character string or symbol string is provided. In the interactive broadcast system according to the third aspect, when the prohibited word search means detects a broadcast prohibited word in the message information, the prohibited word replacement means replaces the broadcast prohibited word in the message information with a broadcastable character string or symbol string. . Therefore, it is possible to replace the broadcast prohibited word with another character before the message information is broadcast, and it is possible to very easily create and broadcast message information avoiding the broadcast prohibited word.

The interactive broadcast system according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the interactive broadcast system according to the first aspect, further comprising a prohibited word changing unit for changing broadcast prohibited word information stored in the prohibited word information storage unit. It is characterized by the following. In the two-way broadcasting system according to the fourth aspect, the broadcast prohibition word information can be appropriately changed in the broadcasting station. Therefore, it is possible to quickly cope with a broadcast prohibition word that increases or changes due to the change of the times or fashion, and it is possible to always store necessary broadcast prohibition word information.

[0016]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a two-way broadcasting system according to the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment embodying the present invention with reference to the drawings. First, a schematic configuration of the interactive broadcast system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the interactive broadcast system according to the present embodiment.

In FIG. 1, a user's telephone 10 is connected to a request receiving device 30 of a broadcasting station via a telephone line 20. The request receiving device 30 is connected to a character conversion device 42 that separates the karaoke song number and the message portion from the numeric string input by the user and converts the message portion into a character string. The character conversion device 42 internally includes a prohibited word search unit 42A, a prohibited word deletion unit 42B, and a prohibited word replacement unit 42C, and is externally connected to a prohibited word storage device 43 for storing prohibited word information. Further, an input device 45 for externally changing prohibited word information is connected to the prohibited word storage device 43.

The request receiving device 30 is further connected to a karaoke control device 40. Karaoke control device 40
Includes a storage device for storing karaoke song data therein, and is connected to an audio output device 50 for outputting karaoke voice and a video output device 60 for outputting karaoke lyrics video and background video. Further, a message synthesizing device 48 for synthesizing a message character image with a background image is connected between the karaoke control device 40 and the image output device 60. The audio output device 50 and the video output device 60 are both karaoke output devices 7
0, and to the user's cable receiving device 90 via the cable line 80. Further, the cable receiving device 90 is connected to a TV 100 for a user to watch a broadcast.

Next, a description will be given of an operation for creating a message text in which the requested music number and the broadcast prohibition word are avoided from the numeric string input by the user from the dial key of the telephone 10.
As a method of avoiding the broadcast prohibited word, there is a method of deleting the broadcast prohibited word or replacing the broadcast prohibited word part with another character or symbol. In this case, the broadcast prohibited word part is replaced with “**”. The replacement method is used. The same applies to the case of replacing with another character or deleting the broadcast prohibition word.

The tune number of the karaoke tune input by the user and the numeric string indicating the message are received by the request receiving device 30. The request receiving device 30 first separates the karaoke song number portion and the message portion from the received numeric string. The karaoke song number is sent to the karaoke control device 40. The karaoke control device 40 searches for karaoke tune data from the internal storage device according to the input tune number and makes a reservation. When performing a reserved karaoke song, the audio data is transmitted to the audio output device 50, and the background video and lyrics data are transmitted to the video output device 60.

On the other hand, the message part is converted to a character
, First, the numeric string in the message part is converted to a character string. The message sentence converted into a character string is subjected to phrase conversion generally used in a word processor. For example,
When the message sentence "Sakano fool / Yarou!" Is input, the message is split into "Sasaki no fool / Yarou /!"
Each phrase is input to the forbidden word search unit 42A. The forbidden word search unit 42A compares each of the input segments with the forbidden words stored in the forbidden word storage device 43 and searches. FIG. 3 shows an example of the broadcast prohibited word table stored in the prohibited word storage device 43. In this example, it turns out that "idiot" applies.

Next, since there is an applicable forbidden word, that part is replaced with "**" by the forbidden word replacing unit 42C.
Therefore, “idiot” is replaced with “**”. As a result, this message is "Let's do **!" Alternatively, when replacing with another character, another character is set in the prohibited word replacement unit 42C. When deleting the prohibited word part, the message sentence, "Sasaki no Yado!", Is generated by inputting the prohibited word part into the prohibited word deletion unit 42B.

Here, it is very important to first perform phrase conversion. The reason for this is that, as shown in FIG. 3, the broadcast prohibition word has many relatively short words, and therefore, if the search is performed using only the character array, the search may be more likely to be performed by chance. For example, this is because the message “To Soba Kaschan” cannot be changed to “So ** su-chan”. or,
If a prohibited word is not included in the message text, it goes without saying that the prohibited word search unit 42A outputs the message as it is.

The message sentence in which the forbidden word thus created is avoided is further converted into a character image by the message synthesizing device 48 and synthesized into a background image of the image output device 60 and a lyric image. Finally, the audio output created by the audio output device 50 and the video output created by the video output device 60 are combined and broadcast from the karaoke output device 70.

Next, a specific operation of the character converter 42 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 shows a character conversion device 4.
6 is a flowchart of an operation program of FIG.

In FIG. 2, first, in step (hereinafter abbreviated as S) 1, the character conversion device 42 reads two digits from the numeric string of the message information. Subsequently, it is determined whether the read number is “##” (S2). If the read number is not "##" (S2: NO), FIG.
The two-digit number is converted into one character using the numeric character conversion table shown in (3) (S3). Further, the converted character is stored in the storage means in the character conversion device 42 (S4). continue,
The next two-digit number is read (S1), and if it is a number, the conversion to characters is repeated. If the number read in S1 is "##" (S2: YES), the number string of the message information ends, and it is determined that all the message sentences have been stored in the storage device in the character conversion device 42 by characters. Become.

Next, the message sentence thus created is divided into segments (S5). Furthermore, in each segment,
It is determined whether there is a word corresponding to the broadcast prohibited word in FIG. 3 stored in the prohibited word storage device 43 (S6). When it is determined that there is a prohibited word (S6: YES), the corresponding prohibited word is replaced with "**" (S7). Alternatively, when it is determined that there is no prohibited word (S6: NO), the program ends without changing the message text.

The broadcast prohibited word information stored in the prohibited word storage device 43 changes with the times and fashion. Therefore, addition or deletion can be performed by the input device 45 in the broadcasting station.

As described in detail above, in the two-way broadcasting system of the present embodiment, the message information portion of the numeric string input by
2 is converted into a character string, and the prohibited word search unit 42A searches whether or not the broadcast prohibited word stored in the prohibited word storage device 43 is included. Furthermore, if a prohibited word is included, the prohibited word deletion unit 42B deletes the prohibited word, or the prohibited word replacement unit 42C replaces the prohibited word with another character or symbol. The message sentence created in this way to avoid the prohibited words is combined with the audio output and the video output of the karaoke song, and the karaoke output device 70 performs cable broadcasting. Therefore, the user has T
With V100, a karaoke song can be played and a message sentence containing no prohibited words can be appreciated.

Further, by inputting from the input device 45 at the broadcasting station, the broadcast prohibited word information stored in the prohibited word storage device 43 can be changed in response to a change in the broadcast prohibited word.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, if there is a broadcast prohibited word, it is uniformly deleted or replaced.However, for example, a corresponding expression such as “Jap” → “Japanese” is stored, and the corresponding expression is stored. If there is, you can change it there.

[0032]

As described above, in the interactive broadcasting system according to the first aspect of the present invention, since the prohibited word search means is provided, the message information input by the user and received by the broadcasting station is searched, and the prohibited word information is stored. It can be checked whether or not the broadcast prohibited word stored in the means is included. Therefore, the broadcast prohibited words in the message information can be easily searched without manual operation.

In the two-way broadcasting system according to the second aspect, when the prohibited word search means detects a broadcast prohibited word in the message information, the prohibited word deletion means deletes the broadcast prohibited word in the message information. It is possible to delete a broadcast prohibited word before information is broadcast, and it is possible to very easily create and broadcast message information avoiding the broadcast prohibited word.

In the two-way broadcasting system according to the third aspect, when the prohibited word search means detects a broadcast prohibited word in the message information, the prohibited word replacement means uses a character string or a character string capable of broadcasting the broadcast prohibited word in the message information. By converting to a symbol string, it is possible to convert a forbidden word into other characters before the message information is broadcast, making it extremely easy to create and broadcast message information that avoids the forbidden word. it can.

Further, in the two-way broadcasting system according to the fourth aspect, the broadcast prohibited word information can be appropriately changed in the broadcasting station. Therefore, it is possible to quickly cope with a broadcast prohibition word that increases or changes due to the change of the times or fashion, and it is possible to always store necessary broadcast prohibition word information.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to automatically check an input message sentence and to check whether or not a broadcast prohibition word is included. It is possible to provide a two-way broadcasting system capable of creating a broadcastable message sentence that avoids a broadcast prohibition word and replacing it by replacing it with another character or symbol.
