摘要:
A compact image karaoke device with only a small number of image disks which provides the impression of having a great many background images. Two players are provided for reading background images from image disks. Background images read by the two players are changed at random, for example, every 30 seconds. By editing the display of background images in this manner, a great number of background image series can be obtained from combinations of the background images. Images obtained and displayed corresponding particularly to the starting portion of the song are provided only in the number of images. Therefore, even if a great number of songs are consecutively selected, a user will not feel as though the same images are being repeatedly shown.

When the terminal 5 requests a partial access of a desired karaoke song to the center 3 in S380, only the climactic passage data of the karaoke song is transmitted from the center 3 to the terminal 5. The terminal 5 reproduces the climactic passage in S400. Then, the terminal 5 determines whether or not the user will pay for the karaoke song in S410. When the payment is confirmed, the terminal 5 requests total access to the center 3 in S340, receives the entire data of the karaoke song in S350, and reproduces the data in S360. It is possible to prevent the user from erroneously requesting a total access of a karaoke song which the user does not want to sing. It is ensured that the user can obtain karaoke songs which he/she really wants to sing, within a short period of time.

An information delivery system or the like which autonomously distribute and arrange contents as many as a number necessary inside the delivery system at appropriate positions inside the delivery system without providing a server or the like which administrates ubiety and number of the contents. There are provided, in an information delivery system having a plurality of information processing apparatuses which can mutually communicate through a network and a registration apparatus which holds at least one or more common information pieces so as to be used in common with the plurality of information processing apparatuses, a means for receiving common information subjected to record instruction, a means for receiving record instruction information, premiere time information and evaluation value information, a means for recording the common information thus received in association with the premiere time information and the evaluation value information, a means for selecting an information processing apparatus which indicates record of the common information subjected to the record instruction, a means for transmitting the common information to the information processing apparatus thus selected, a means for updating the evaluation value, a means for sending record instruction information which instructs to record the evaluation value after update, the premiere time information and the common information in the information processing apparatus thus selected.

When it is judged that the latest set random variable R is equal to or lower than 24 in S730, it is determined that the latest reproduced chapter is of the image genre A. Therefore, the program proceeds to S735 and S740 to repeatedly generate a random variable R until the generated random variable R falls between 25 and 48, therefore indicating image genre F. On the other hand, when the latest set random variable R is higher than 24 in S730, it is determined that the most recently reproduced chapter is from the image genre F. Accordingly, the program proceeds to S745 and S750 to repeatedly generate a random variable R until the generated random variable R falls between 1 and 24, thereby representing a chapter from image genre A.

In a data transmission system 1, a center 3 and a plurality of terminals 5 are connected by a coaxial cable 7. The center 3 is controlled by a server 11 to transmit mode sense polling signals in succession every predetermined time (for example every 30 seconds) to all of the karaoke terminals 5 connected to the center 3. The center 3 determines whether each terminal 5 is in a karaoke mode or not based on the mode response signal transmitted from each terminal 5 in response to the mode sense polling signals. The center 3 then transmits request polling signal only to terminals 5 determined as being in the karaoke mode, confirms whether a request for a song has been made, and transmits karaoke data to those terminals that have a request.

摘要:
It is the object of the present invention to provide a processing apparatus, a tree-type network system, processing program and recording method that are capable of performing requests to a higher-order apparatus at the same time, while reducing the load that is concentrated in the communication path upstream in the network. One node apparatus which is provided with tree-type network system including broadcasting apparatus sending inquiry information as request-reception-begin data etc. for requesting sending response message as select-node information etc. to a plurality of node apparatus, receiving inquiry information that is sent from other processing apparatus that is connected in a higher-order layer above the processing apparatus, transferring to other processing apparatuses that are connected in a lower-order layer below the processing apparatus, receiving the reply-result information that is sent from other processing apparatus, creating its reply-result information based on own processing apparatus, and replying created reply-result information based on reply information included in reply-result-information and created reply information to other processing apparatus that is connected in a higher-order layer.
