Description
SYSTEME D'ENREGISTREMENT, DE STOCKAGE ET
DE LECTURE D'INFORMATION.RECORDING, STORAGE AND
FOR READING INFORMATION.
La présente invention concerne un système d'enregistrement, de stockage et de lecture d'informations permettant à un utilisateur un très large choix de programmes grâce à différents moyens de stockage, de mémoire, de réception, d'enregistrement et de lecture, ainsi qu'un accès immédiat et portatif à l'ensemble de ces programmes grâce à un moyen de mémoire extractible. La présente invention concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif audio permettant le stockage et l'accès facile à un grand nombre de programmes de musique. The present invention relates to a system for recording, storing and reading information allowing a user a very wide choice of programs thanks to various means of storage, memory, reception, recording and reading, as well as '' immediate and portable access to all of these programs thanks to an extractable memory means. The present invention relates more particularly to an audio device allowing storage and easy access to a large number of music programs.
Actuellement, I'utilisateur n'a pas la maîtrise totale des programmes qu'il désire écouter (musique) ou regarder (film). En effet
soit le programme est diffusé sur un canal et le pouvoir de décision de l'utilisateur est limité au choix du canal à un instant donné,
soit le programme est pré-enregistré, le choix de l'utilisateur parmi les programmes pré-enregistrés à sa disposition est alors totale, mais reste limité par l'encombrement du nombre de supports (disques ou cassettes) contenant ces programmes pré-enregistrés. De plus. de nombreux standards différents limitent encore le choix de l'utilisateur lorsqu'il acquiert un programme pré-enregistré, ce à quoi il faut ajouter la restriction qui est que des artistes peuvent être distribués exclusivement sur un support parmi d'autres. Le seul moyen de remédier à cela est de s'équiper des matériels de standards différents, (exemple : lecteur de cassettes numériques DCC et lecteur de minidisques MD, chacun supportant des artistes différents).Currently, the user does not have total control of the programs he wishes to listen to (music) or watch (film). Indeed
either the program is broadcast on a channel and the user's decision-making power is limited to the choice of channel at a given time,
either the program is pre-recorded, the user's choice from the pre-recorded programs at his disposal is then total, but remains limited by the size of the number of supports (discs or cassettes) containing these pre-recorded programs. Furthermore. many different standards still limit the choice of the user when acquiring a pre-recorded program, to which must be added the restriction which is that artists can be distributed exclusively on one medium among others. The only way to remedy this is to equip yourself with materials of different standards (example: DCC digital cassette player and MD mini-disc player, each supporting different artists).
soit un appareil d'enregistrement permet d'enregistrer un programme diffusé ou pré-enregistré, cependant les choix de l'utilisateur restent limités comme décrit précédemment. De plus, les intérêts financiers des maisons d'édition de programmes conduisent alors à implanter un système limitant l'usage de l'enregistrement par le consommateur (une seule copie autorisée par programme diffusé ou pr6- enregistré). Le problème des différents standards reste entier, et la place occupée par les supports d'enregistrement ainsi que le nombre d'appareils nécessaires à I'enregistrement sont des inconvénients supplémentaires. or a recording device makes it possible to record a broadcast or pre-recorded program, however the choices of the user remain limited as described previously. In addition, the financial interests of program publishers then lead to the implementation of a system limiting the use of recording by the consumer (only one copy authorized per broadcast or pre-recorded program). The problem of the various standards remains unresolved, and the space occupied by the recording media as well as the number of apparatuses necessary for recording are additional disadvantages.
D'autre part, dans tous les cas, I'obligation pour l'utilisateur de manipuler plusieurs appareils de réception. de lecture ou d'enregistrement est aussi un désagrément
Enfin, il est nécessaire, si l'on désire bénéficier de ces programmes à plusieurs ou dans différents endroits, de s'équiper au moins de plusieurs lecteurs.On the other hand, in all cases, the obligation for the user to handle several receiving devices. reading or recording is also an inconvenience
Finally, it is necessary, if one wishes to benefit from these programs in several or in different places, to be equipped with at least several readers.
La présente invention permet de s'affranchir de ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif permettant la maîtrise totale de programmes ainsi qu'un choix de ces programmes très largement supérieur à celui obtenu avec les appareils existants tout en étant constitué de moyens simples et bons marchés. La présente invention a pour objet un système de stockage, d'enregistrement et/ou de lecture d'informations comportant au moins un premier moyen de stockage d'informations, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte, de plus, un moyen extractible et portable comprenant une mémoire dont la capacité est, pour un même encombrement sensiblement supérieure à la capacité du premier moyen de stockage et, une interface d'interconnexion avec le premier moyen de stockage de manière à pouvoir enregistrer dans la mémoire au moins les informations du premier moyen de stockage. The present invention overcomes these drawbacks by providing a device for total control of programs and a choice of these programs far greater than that obtained with existing devices while being made up of simple and inexpensive means. The subject of the present invention is a system for storing, recording and / or reading information comprising at least one first means for storing information, characterized in that it further comprises an extractable and portable means comprising a memory the capacity of which, for the same footprint, is substantially greater than the capacity of the first storage means and, an interface for interconnection with the first storage means so as to be able to store in the memory at least the information of the first means storage.
La présente invention sera mieux comprise et des avantages supplémentaires apparaîtront à la lecture de la description qui va suivre illustrée par les figures suivantes
- la figure 1 unique montre un exemple de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention,
- et la figure 2 montre un des moyens principaux de l'invention.The present invention will be better understood and additional advantages will appear on reading the description which follows, illustrated by the following figures.
single FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the device according to the invention,
- And Figure 2 shows one of the main means of the invention.
L'exemple de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention sera décrit à partir de l'application audio (disques optiques. cassettes) de celle-ci, mais pourra être étendu, bien évidemment, à tous les types d'informations (vidéo, jeux-vidéo, tout type de logiciel, etc...). The embodiment of the device according to the invention will be described from the audio application (optical discs. Cassettes) thereof, but may be extended, of course, to all types of information (video, games -video, any type of software, etc ...).
Le dispositif 1 est constitué d'un moyen 2 de type juke-box pouvant contenir plusieurs supports d'information, ces supports étant de préférence optiques de type disque (CD > ou mini-disque (MD) pouvant contenir sous forme numérique des programmes musicaux, et lire et/ou enregistrer sur ces supports. Avantageusement, à ce premier moyen 2 pourra être ajoutés un ou plusieurs autres premiers moyens 3 permettant d'augmenter la capacité de stockage des supports lus et/ou enregistrés (CD, MD, DCC). Chacun de ces moyens de stockage supplémentaires 3 est équipé d'un magasin pour lesdits disques et d'un mécanisme de déplacement de ces supports, et de préférence d'un lecteur et/ou enregistreur et compatible avec le standard CD-G dans le cas des disques optiques utilisés comme support d'informations. Ce standard graphique permet d'afficher sur un écran des images stockées sous forme numérique représentant la pochette du disque, les paroles des chansons, des animations simples, etc... The device 1 consists of a means 2 of the jukebox type which can contain several information media, these media being preferably optical of the disc type (CD> or mini-disc (MD) which can contain in digital form musical programs , and read and / or record on these supports Advantageously, to this first means 2 may be added one or more other first means 3 making it possible to increase the storage capacity of the supports read and / or recorded (CD, MD, DCC) Each of these additional storage means 3 is equipped with a magazine for said discs and with a mechanism for moving these supports, and preferably with a reader and / or recorder and compatible with the CD-G standard in the optical discs used as an information medium. This graphic standard makes it possible to display on a screen images stored in digital form representing the cover of the disc, the lyrics of the songs, simple animations s, etc ...
Le dispositif 1 est équipé d'un second moyen 4 de type mémoire de masse (comme par exemple un juke-box de MD enregistrables ou tout autre support d'enregistrement), pouvant contenir des informations sous forme digitale comprimées représentant entre plusieurs heures et plusieurs centaines d'heures de son ou d'image. Ce moyen de mémorisation n'est pas accessible de l'extérieur et est de préférence à accès aléatoire. The device 1 is equipped with a second means 4 of the mass memory type (such as for example a recordable MD jukebox or any other recording medium), which can contain information in compressed digital form representing between several hours and several hundreds of hours of sound or image. This storage means is not accessible from the outside and is preferably random access.
Selon une caractéristique importante de la présente invention, le dispositif 1 est d'autre part équipé d'un moyen ou module extractible å mémoire 5 compacte. Le fait que ce module 5 soit extractible permet de l'intégrer à un autre support comme1 par exemple, à un autre dispositif 1 ou à un autoradio. Dans ce but, ce module 5 est de petite taille (type baladeur). Ce moyen extractible à mémoire peut, dans le cas où il possède une capacité suffisante, remplacer éventuellement le second moyen de mémoire 4, ou enregistrer des programmes lorsque celui-ci est plein. Comme il est indiqué sur la figure 2, ce module 5, constitué d'au moins une mémoire compacte 12, comporte une interface d'interconnexion 13 avec le moyen de stockage de support de données 2 ou d'autres appareils d'enregistrement et/ou de lecture. Il peut. de préférence, comporter un moyen de lecture 14 ou de lecture/enregistrement. Ce module peut aussi comprendre une batterie se rechargeant lorsqu'il est en place dans la partie fixe 6 du dispositif 1, une prise casque, un moyen de fixation du type baladeur, un clavier et un écran permettant son utilisation comme baladeur, un connecteur d'interface avec la partie fixe du dispositif 1 et/ou un ou plusieurs autres appareils (par exemple un système simple du type du système selon l'invention mais fixé dans le tableau de bord d'une voiture afin de fonctionner, lorsque le module 5 y est connecté, comme un autoradio). According to an important characteristic of the present invention, the device 1 is on the other hand equipped with a means or module extractable with compact memory 5. The fact that this module 5 is extractable makes it possible to integrate it with another support such as 1 for example, with another device 1 or with a car radio. For this purpose, this module 5 is small (portable type). This extractable memory means can, if it has sufficient capacity, possibly replace the second memory means 4, or record programs when the latter is full. As indicated in FIG. 2, this module 5, consisting of at least one compact memory 12, includes an interconnection interface 13 with the data medium storage means 2 or other recording devices and / or reading. He can. preferably, include a reading means 14 or reading / recording. This module can also include a battery recharging when it is in place in the fixed part 6 of the device 1, a headphone jack, a portable type of fixing means, a keyboard and a screen allowing its use as a portable player, a connector for interface with the fixed part of the device 1 and / or one or more other devices (for example a simple system of the type of the system according to the invention but fixed in the dashboard of a car in order to operate, when the module 5 is connected to it, like a car radio).
De préférence une seule interface permet la connexion au dispositif 1 et aux autres appareils.Preferably a single interface allows connection to the device 1 and to the other devices.
Grâce à ce module de mémoire compacte et extractible, l'utilisateur peut disposer de toute sa discothèque (stockée éventuellement dans le premier moyen de mémoire 2) à tout moment, il lui suffit de garder sur lui le module 5. Il n'a plus, comme c'est le cas pour un baladeur traditionnel, à emporter ses disques avec lui, ou, comme c'est le cas pour un autoradio, à stocker quelques disques dans un juke-box d'accès non libre puisque contenu en général dans le coffre arrière de la voiture. Thanks to this compact and extractable memory module, the user can have all his discotheque (possibly stored in the first memory means 2) at any time, he just has to keep module 5 on him. , as is the case for a traditional portable music player, to take your discs with it, or, as is the case for a car radio, to store a few discs in a jukebox with non-free access since it is generally contained in the trunk of the car.
Ce module est de préférence réalisé grâce à une technologie utilisant un ensemble de têtes magnétiques, notamment en couches minces, disposées sous forme d'un réseau matriciel. Cette technologie a été développée par Thomson CSF, elle est notamment décrite dans la demande de brevet EP 340 085. Cette technologie est une technologie de bande, et ne permet donc pas un accès aléatoire parfait. Cependant, considérant 150 à 1 000 têtes de lecture en parallèle, ainsi qu'une mémoire semi-conductrice gardant la table des matières, et une mémoire tampon différant la reproduction du son par rapport à sa lecture sur la bande, on peut obtenir un quasi accès aléatoire lorsque les morceaux musicaux sont enregistrés dans un ordre basé sur les préférences du consommateur. This module is preferably made using a technology using a set of magnetic heads, in particular in thin layers, arranged in the form of a matrix network. This technology was developed by Thomson CSF, it is in particular described in patent application EP 340 085. This technology is a band technology, and therefore does not allow perfect random access. However, considering 150 to 1000 read heads in parallel, as well as a semiconductor memory keeping the table of contents, and a buffer memory delaying the reproduction of the sound compared to its reading on the tape, one can obtain a quasi random access when the musical pieces are recorded in an order based on consumer preferences.
Le dispositif 1 peut aussi contenir un ou plusieurs tuners 7 (FM et/ou AM) de préférence équipés de la fonction RDS (pour "Radio
Data System"), un tuner servant à la réception en directe, tandis que l'autre recherche la fréquence ou le programme sélectionné par l'utilisateur.The device 1 can also contain one or more tuners 7 (FM and / or AM) preferably equipped with the RDS function (for "Radio
Data System "), one tuner for live reception, while the other searches for the frequency or program selected by the user.
Pour que le choix du programme pouvant être écouté sur commande par l'utilisateur soit le plus large possible, une interface téléphonique 8 peut permettre le télé-chargement numérique de programmes (son ou image) à partir d'un serveur mis en oeuvre par un distributeur de programmes musicaux (ou vidéo), ainsi que les transactions associées : paiement du programme (qui peut aussi être fait grâce à un lecteur de cartes à puce équipant le dispositif 1), antipiratage (par exemple par cryptage), interface utilisateur par clavier. So that the choice of program that can be listened to on command by the user is as wide as possible, a telephone interface 8 can allow digital downloading of programs (sound or image) from a server implemented by a distributor of music (or video) programs, as well as the associated transactions: payment for the program (which can also be done using a smart card reader fitted to device 1), anti-piracy (for example by encryption), user interface by keyboard .
Enfin, le dispositif selon l'invention est muni d'une interface utilisateur 9 munie d'un écran de contrôle 10 (de préférence un écran plat de type à plasma ou à cristaux liquides) ainsi que d'un clavier, ou d'un écran tactile ou d'une télécommande permettant à l'utilisateur de manipuler le dispositif 1. Cette interface 9 permet le choix d'un programme parmi ceux contenus dans les disques stockés dans le jukebox 2, dans la mémoire de stockage 4 ou reçus par l'un des deux tuners, le choix des programmes par thèmes, par préférence ou par fréquence d'audition, la commande d'enregistrement instantanée, l'achat de programme par téléphone, une programmation du dispositif 1 à chaque fois qu'un disque est chargé dans le juke-box 2, la documentation concernant chaque disque et chaque enregistrement de radio soit en utilisant les informations CD-G ou RDS, soit localement par le consommateur, soit par un service téléphonique mis à jour en permanence, ainsi que le choix de la musique chargée dans le module extractible 5, si celui-ci ne peut contenir l'intégralité des programmes contenus par le dispositif 1. Finally, the device according to the invention is provided with a user interface 9 provided with a control screen 10 (preferably a flat screen of the plasma or liquid crystal type) as well as a keyboard, or a touch screen or remote control allowing the user to operate the device 1. This interface 9 allows the choice of a program from those contained in the discs stored in the jukebox 2, in the storage memory 4 or received by the '' one of the two tuners, the choice of programs by themes, by preference or by frequency of hearing, the command of instant recording, the purchase of program by telephone, a programming of the device 1 each time a disc is loaded in the jukebox 2, the documentation concerning each disc and each radio recording either using CD-G or RDS information, either locally by the consumer, or by a constantly updated telephone service, as well as the choice d e the music loaded into the extractable module 5, if the latter cannot contain all of the programs contained by the device 1.
Cette interface 9 peut être directe par l'utilisation d'un clavier sur le dispositif 1 et/ou par télécommande. De préférence, cette interface est vocale, le dispositif 1 étant équipé d'un logiciel de reconnaissance vocale permettant l'exécution de commande en associant les sons prononcés par l'utilisateur aux caractères mémorisés par l'utilisateur grâce à l'interface 9. Avantageusement, cette commande vocale est doublée d'une commande directe ou par télécommande afin d'effectuer certaines opérations nécessitant l'affichage d'informations comme, par exemple, le paiement par téléphone. This interface 9 can be direct by the use of a keyboard on the device 1 and / or by remote control. Preferably, this interface is voice, the device 1 being equipped with voice recognition software allowing command execution by associating the sounds pronounced by the user with the characters memorized by the user thanks to the interface 9. Advantageously , this voice command is coupled with a direct command or by remote control in order to perform certain operations requiring the display of information such as, for example, payment by telephone.
Cette interface 9 peut aussi être doublée d'une mémoire tampon qui permet d'éviter les silences pendant les opérations de chargement mécanique des disques. Elle peut aussi permettre, lorsque l'utilisateur demande, au travers de l'interface 9, I'enregistrement d'un programme à la radio, de commencer l'enregistrement au début du programme concerné d'une manière automatique si la fonction RDS équipe le ou les tuner 7, soit en autorisant ensuite une reconnaissance automatique de début et de fin de programme de type "fade in/out" dès que le consommateur précise où est le début du programme. This interface 9 can also be doubled with a buffer memory which makes it possible to avoid silences during the mechanical loading operations of the disks. It can also allow, when the user requests, through the interface 9, the recording of a program on the radio, to start recording at the start of the program concerned automatically if the RDS function is fitted the tuner (s) 7, or by then authorizing automatic recognition of the start and end of a "fade in / out" type program as soon as the consumer specifies where the start of the program is.
Le fonctionnement du dispositif est décrit ci-dessous. The operation of the device is described below.
Lors de l'installation du dispositif 1, l'utilisateur charge sa discothèque dans le juke-box 2 par l'intermédiaire du tiroir chargeur 11. During the installation of the device 1, the user loads his nightclub into the jukebox 2 via the charger drawer 11.
Au moment du chargement d'un disque par le tiroir 11,
I'interface 9 peut permettre à l'utilisateur de rentrer grace au clavier (ou à la télécommande ou de manière vocale) les caractéristiques (titre, auteur, genre...) du disque qui pourra être ensuite sélectionné grâce à ces données entrées. Avantageusement, les disques comportent des données numériques par exemple au standard CD-G correspondant à ces caractéristiques se chargeant automatiquement dans le dispositif 1 lors du chargement du disque. Cela permet par la suite une sélection des programmes par ces caractéristiques.When a disc is loaded by the tray 11,
The interface 9 can allow the user to enter, using the keyboard (or the remote control or by voice) the characteristics (title, author, genre, etc.) of the disc which can then be selected using these entered data. Advantageously, the discs contain digital data, for example according to the CD-G standard corresponding to these characteristics which are loaded automatically into the device 1 when the disc is loaded. This then allows selection of programs by these characteristics.
Le dispositif 1 peut aussi être équipé. à la place de cette gestion informatique, d'un système d'étiquettes munies chacune d'un micro-emetteur HF émettant son numéro (1 à 100) par pression grâce à l'énergie piezo-électrique. Ces étiquettes étant collées sur les pochettes des disques qui restent dans la discothèque du consommateur qui le souhaite (les disques eux-mXme sont dans le juke-box > 1 I'utilisateur n'a plus qu'à les sélectionner en pressant sur l'étiquette se trouvant sur la jaquette qui emet l'ordre de lecture vers le système 1. The device 1 can also be equipped. in place of this IT management, a system of labels each provided with an HF micro-transmitter transmitting its number (1 to 100) by pressure thanks to piezoelectric energy. These labels being stuck on the sleeves of the discs which remain in the discotheque of the consumer who wishes it (the discs themselves are in the jukebox> 1 the user only has to select them by pressing on the label on the cover that sends the reading order to system 1.
La sélection d'un programme par l'utilisateur s'effectue grâce au clavier de l'interface 9 ou par la télécommande au travers d'un menu affiché sur l'écran de contrôle 10 proposant toutes les caractéristiques des disques (titre, auteur, genre par classement alphabétique ou, au choix de l'utilisateur, par genre ou fréquence d'écoute. Cette sélection peut aussi s'effectuer par la voix ou par pression sur les étiquettes correspondant aux jaquettes des disques. Les réglages du son s'effectuent de manière classique au travers de l'interface 9. The selection of a program by the user is carried out using the keyboard of the interface 9 or by the remote control through a menu displayed on the control screen 10 offering all the characteristics of the discs (title, author, genre by alphabetical order or, at the user's choice, by genre or frequency of listening. This selection can also be made by voice or by pressing on the labels corresponding to the jackets of the discs. conventionally through interface 9.
L'utilisateur, si il désire écouter la radio, peut commander un titre, auteur ou genre précis si le moyen 7 est muni du système RDS. The user, if he wishes to listen to the radio, can order a specific title, author or genre if the medium 7 is equipped with the RDS system.
L'un des tuners balaie en permanence toutes les stations de radio à la recherche du genre de programme demandé (indiqué selon la norme
RDS). La musique écoutée à la radio est stockée dans une mémoire tampon, et peut ainsi être stockée dans le moyen de mémoire 4 ou 5 si l'utilisateur le désire. Par la suite, I'utilisateur par un bouton de réglage du débit du son "joug shuttle" de type FFW (fast forward) ou RW (rewind), choisira le moment exact du début du programme (sauf dans le cas de l'utilisation du système RDS où le dispositif 1 peut le déterminer automatiquement) . One of the tuners continuously scans all radio stations for the type of program requested (indicated by standard
RDS). The music listened to on the radio is stored in a buffer memory, and can thus be stored in the memory means 4 or 5 if the user so desires. Thereafter, the user by a button to adjust the flow rate of the "yoke shuttle" type FFW (fast forward) or RW (rewind), will choose the exact moment of the start of the program (except in the case of use RDS system where device 1 can determine it automatically).
La présente invention s'applique de préférence à un système destiné au grand public et s'adapte tout particulièrement au traitement des programmes musicaux, mais son domaine d'application peut s'étendre au traitement de tous les types d'informations (vidéo, jeuxvidéo, etc...). The present invention preferably applies to a system intended for the general public and adapts very particularly to the processing of musical programs, but its field of application can extend to the processing of all types of information (video, video games , etc ...).
