HARDVER (HARDWARE)HARDWARE

Princip rada MP 3 JUKEBOX-a baziran je na primjeni jednog jedinog standardnog PC-a ili NOTEBOOK-a kao upravljačke, kontrolne i memorijske jedinice. Pored standardnih sklopova koje sadrži svaki PC ili NOTEBOOK (napajanje, matična ploča, RAM, HDD, zvučna kartica-soundblaster, mrežna kartica, CD-ROM, floppy disk) potrebna je i posebna “interface pločica” koju su razvili autori ovog izuma na bazi jednog ili više mikroprocesora. Ona služi kao sučelje (interface) između svih vanjskih (ulaznih) signala i PC-a ili NOTEBOOK-a, a ušteka se direktno na matičnu ploču PC-a ili se priključuje na neki od serijskih portova NOTEBOOK-a. Sučelje procesira vanjske (ulazne) signale, koji dolaze s tipki i iz uređaja za naplatu, dok izlazne signale prosljeđuje PC-u ili NOTEBOOK-u. Prilikom svakog uključenja JUKEBOX-a PC ili NOTEBOOK programira sučelje, kako bi ono moglo obavljati svoju funkciju u cijelom sustavu.The working principle of the MP 3 JUKEBOX is based on the application of a single standard PC or NOTEBOOK as a management, control and memory unit. In addition to the standard circuits that every PC or NOTEBOOK contains (power supply, motherboard, RAM, HDD, sound card-soundblaster, network card, CD-ROM, floppy disk) a special "interface board" developed by the authors of this invention based on one or more microprocessors. It serves as an interface between all external (input) signals and the PC or NOTEBOOK, and is connected directly to the PC's motherboard or connected to one of the NOTEBOOK's serial ports. The interface processes external (input) signals, which come from the buttons and from the payment device, while it forwards the output signals to the PC or NOTEBOOK. Every time the JUKEBOX is switched on, the PC or NOTEBOOK programs the interface, so that it can perform its function in the entire system.

Floppy disk je potreban zbog tog što sve manje promjene softvera dolaze na disketi. Time je omogućeno jednostavno i jeftino unošenje dopuna i promjena softvera. Velike promjene softvera dolaze na CD-u. Predviđeno je da sve promjene softvera može obaviti i nestručna ovlaštena osoba, zahvaljujući “user friendly” programskoj potpori. Ona omogućava da se dopune i/ili izmjene softvera koje se nalaze na disketi ili CD-u obave jednostavnim ubacivanjem diskete ili CD-a u odgovarajući “drive”, nakon čega se kompletan postupak dopune i/ili izmjene softvera izvrši potpuno automatski. Ovlaštenoj osobi preostaje samo da na kraju isključi uređaj i izvadi disketu ili CD.A floppy disk is needed because all minor software changes come on diskette. This enables simple and inexpensive additions and changes to the software. Major software changes come on CD. It is foreseen that all software changes can be done by a non-expert authorized person, thanks to the "user friendly" program support. It makes it possible to complete and/or change the software found on a diskette or CD by simply inserting the diskette or CD into the appropriate drive, after which the complete process of updating and/or changing the software is performed completely automatically. All that remains for an authorized person is to finally turn off the device and remove the diskette or CD.

U kućište JUKEBOX-a zidne (sl. 1), stolne, samostojeće ili verzije kombinirane s pikadom (sl. 2) smješten je standardni PC ili industrijsko računalo s CRT ili LCD TFT monitorom (6) ili s “touch screen” dodatkom monitoru (6). Umjesto ove kombinacije moguće je ugraditi kompletan NOTEBOOK s LCD TFT monitorom (6). Ova je kombinacija puno kompaktnija i lakša za servisiranje jer se prilikom mogućeg kvara odvaja svega nekoliko konektora i kompletan NOTEBOOK se šalje na servis. Ovo može raditi i manje stručna osoba, čime se smanjuju troškovi radne snage na terenu.A standard PC or industrial computer with a CRT or LCD TFT monitor (6) or with a "touch screen" addition to the monitor ( 6). Instead of this combination, it is possible to install a complete NOTEBOOK with an LCD TFT monitor (6). This combination is much more compact and easier to service because in the event of a possible failure, only a few connectors are disconnected and the complete NOTEBOOK is sent for service. This can be done by a less skilled person, which reduces labor costs in the field.

Kompletna komunikacija između uređaja i korisnika odvija se posredstvom tipki [image] (1 - 4), koje na prednjoj ploči uređaja tvore ergonomski svrsishodan četverokut s vrhovima na horizontali odnosno vertikali i odvojene tipke OK (5). Tipke [image] (gore/dolje) služe za kretanje unutar jedne stranice (ekrana) izbornika, a tipke [image] (natrag/naprijed) služe za listanje kompletne stranice, kao kod listanja knjige. Tipka OK (5) služi za potvrdu bilo koje izabrane opcije i startanje njenog izvršenja, zbog čega je prostorno udaljena od ostalih tipki (1 - 4), čime se praktički eliminira mogućnost neželjenog ili preuranjenog aktiviranja izabrane opcije.Complete communication between the device and the user takes place through the [image] keys (1 - 4), which on the front panel of the device form an ergonomically expedient quadrangle with horizontal and vertical vertices, and a separate OK key (5). The [image] (up/down) keys are used to move within one page (screen) of the menu, and the [image] (back/forward) keys are used to scroll through a complete page, like flipping through a book. The OK button (5) serves to confirm any selected option and start its execution, which is why it is spatially distant from the other buttons (1 - 4), which practically eliminates the possibility of unwanted or premature activation of the selected option.

Priprema muzikePreparation of music

Muzika se sa bilo kojeg standardnog nosača zvuka posebnim softverom pretvara u MP 3 format, dodaju se posebni kodovi za izvođača, naziv melodije te vrstu glazbe (po potrebi mogu se dodati i drugi potrebni podaci), ili se koriste slični podaci o melodiji već prisutni na nosaču zvuka.Music is converted from any standard sound carrier into MP 3 format using special software, special codes are added for the artist, the name of the melody and the type of music (if necessary, other necessary data can be added), or similar information about the melody already present on sound carrier.

Pohranjivanje muzikeStoring music

Glazba obrađena na vanjskom PC-u ili NOTEBOOK-u koja je na njima i pohranjena služi za “punjenje” odnosno spremanje u memoriju JEKEBOX-ova, ili prilikom proizvodnje ili tijekom eksploatacije samih uređaja i to na dva načina:Music processed on an external PC or NOTEBOOK that is stored on them is used for "charging" or saving in the memory of JEKEBOXes, either during production or during exploitation of the devices themselves, in two ways:

1. Direktno sa PC-a ili NOTEBOOK-a priključenjem istih na odgovarajuće ulaze (portove- USB, PCMCIA) na samom JUKEBOX-u ili paralelno na sam fiksni HDD u uređaju. Muzika se može prebacivati po pojedinačnim, unaprijed izabranim, naslovima ili odjednom sva.1. Directly from a PC or NOTEBOOK by connecting them to the corresponding inputs (ports - USB, PCMCIA) on the JUKEBOX itself or in parallel to the fixed HDD in the device itself. Music can be switched by individual, pre-selected titles or all at once.

2. Na vanjski PC ili NOTEBOOK se priključi “CD pržilica” i “ispeku” se CD-i sa po cca 180 naslova, ovisno o kapacitetu današnjih CD-a što iznosi 64O-700 MB. To će ubuduće ovisiti o napretku tehnologije samih CD-a (npr. DVD sistem).2. A "CD burner" is connected to an external PC or NOTEBOOK and CDs with approx. 180 titles are "baked", depending on the capacity of today's CDs, which is 640-700 MB. In the future, this will depend on the progress of the technology of the CDs themselves (eg the DVD system).

Tako pripremljeni MP 3 CD-i služe kao jeftino i efikasno sredstvo za mijenjanje i/ili nadopunjavanje sadržaja JUKEBOX-a jer omogućuju i laiku lagano opsluživanje uređaja na terenu, zahvaljujući softverskoj podršci koja je razvijena timskim radom autora ovog izuma.The MP 3 CDs prepared in this way serve as a cheap and efficient tool for changing and/or supplementing the content of the JUKEBOX, as they enable even a layman to easily service the device in the field, thanks to the software support developed by the team work of the authors of this invention.

Sam uređaj ima u svojoj unutrašnjosti servisnu tipku dostupnu jedino ovlaštenoj osobi. Pritiskom na njega ulazi se u servisni mod, te se na ekranu pojavljuju slijedeće informacije:The device itself has a service button inside, accessible only to an authorized person. By pressing it, the service mode is entered, and the following information appears on the screen:

1. USNIMAVANJE AUDIO CD-a,1. RECORDING AUDIO CD,

2. USNIMAVANJE MP 3 CD-A,2. RECORDING MP 3 CD,

3. MREZNI RAD,3. NETWORK WORK,

4. BRISANJE PJESAMA,4. DELETING SONGS,

5. BROJCANIK KREDITA,5. LOAN NUMBER,

6. STATISTIKA UREDJAJA.6. DEVICE STATISTICS.

Tipkama (3 ili 4), sl. 1 ili 2, odabire se željeni način rada i potvrđuje pritiskom na tipku OK (5):Use the keys (3 or 4), fig. 1 or 2, to select the desired operating mode and confirm by pressing the OK key (5):

1. USNIMAVANJE AUDIO CD-a1. AUDIO CD RECORDING

U CD-ROM u uređaju stavi se standardni audio CD, nakon čega uređaj ispisuje na ekranu “track-ove” koji su snimljeni na CD-u. Može se birati između usnimavanja svih “track-ova” (naslova) tipkama (1) i (3), te se oni automatski snime potvrdom na tipku OK (5). Druga mogućnost je pojedinačno usnimavanje pojedinih “track-ova” (naziva), označenih (markiranih) tipkama (1) i (3). Potvrdom na tipku OK (5) snime se neoznačeni “track-ovi” (nazivi). Moguće je izabrati i obrnuto, tj. da se snime označeni “track-ovi” (nazivi).A standard audio CD is inserted into the CD-ROM in the device, after which the device displays the "tracks" recorded on the CD on the screen. You can choose between recording all "tracks" (titles) with buttons (1) and (3), and they are automatically recorded by confirming with the OK button (5). Another possibility is individual recording of individual "tracks" (names), marked (marked) with buttons (1) and (3). By pressing the OK button (5), unmarked "tracks" (names) are recorded. It is possible to choose the other way around, i.e. to record marked "tracks" (names).

Poslije snimanja tastaturom se upisuje izvođač, naziv pjesme te vrsta muzike. Pritiskom na tipku (1), sl. 1ili 2, izlazi se iz moda “usnimavanje audio CD-a”. Softver koji su razvili autori ovog izuma sada automatski svrstava novo snimljenu muziku prema abecednom redu izvođača i vrsti muzike ili prema ostalim unesenim podacima.After recording, enter the artist, song name and type of music using the keyboard. By pressing the button (1), fig. 1 or 2, the "audio CD recording" mode is exited. The software developed by the authors of this invention now automatically sorts newly recorded music alphabetically by artist and type of music or by other entered data.

Glazba se može podijeliti na veliki broj vrsta. Podjela može izgledati:Music can be divided into a large number of types. The division may look like:

- dance, disco, funky, house, techno,- dance, disco, funky, house, techno,

- hip-hop, rap, rave,- hip-hop, rap, rave,

- pop, rock,- pop, rock,

- hard, heavy, new age, new wave, punk,- hard, heavy, new age, new wave, punk,

- afro, greece, italo, latino,- Afro, Greek, Italian, Latin,

- reggae, ska,- reggae, ska,

- blues, gospel, jazz, R&B, soul,- blues, gospel, jazz, R&B, soul,

- country, folk,- country, folk,

- soundtrack.- soundtrack.

Sve navedene vrste mogu postojati u varijanti domaće i strane glazbe.All the listed types can exist in domestic and foreign music variants.

Početnu podjelu muzike na ekranu moguće je načiniti na mnogo načina, primjerice:The initial division of music on the screen can be done in many ways, for example:

domaće, strane, top lista lokala, novi ulaz.domestic, foreign, top list of bars, new entrance.

2. USNIMAVANJE GOTOVOG MP 3 CD-a2. RECORDING OF A FINISHED MP 3 CD

U CD-ROM se ubaci CD s već pripremljenom muzikom u MP 3 formatu, te se nakon potvrde pritiskom na tipku OK (5) na ekranu pojave svi naslovi. Može se birati između usnimavanja svih naslova te se to automatski i usnimi pritiskom na tipku OK (5), ili pojedinačnih s time da se u kvadratiću sa lijeve strane naslova označi koje naslove ne želimo snimiti. Neoznačeni naslovi automatski se usnime pritiskom na tipku OK (5). Može se podesiti da bude i obrnuto tj. da budu snimljeni označeni naslovi, ali je logična pretpostavka da je gotovo uvijek više naslova na novom MP3 CD-u koje treba snimiti, pa se time skraćuje postupak markiranja.A CD with already prepared music in MP 3 format is inserted into the CD-ROM, and after confirmation by pressing the OK button (5), all titles appear on the screen. You can choose between recording all titles, which is automatically recorded by pressing the OK button (5), or individual titles by marking the titles we do not want to record in the box to the left of the title. Unmarked titles are automatically recorded by pressing the OK button (5). It can be set to be the other way around, i.e. to record marked titles, but the logical assumption is that there are almost always more titles on a new MP3 CD that need to be recorded, so the marking process is shortened.

U oba slučaja uređaj pita prije izvršenja jesmo li sigurni i to opet treba potvrditi tipkom OK (5). Ovime se omogućava vrlo brzo i jednostavno mijenjanje i dopunjavanje muzičkih naslova u JUKEBOX-u, čime smanjujemo troškove.In both cases, the device asks before execution if we are sure, and this must be confirmed again with the OK button (5). This enables a very quick and easy change and addition of music titles in the JUKEBOX, thus reducing costs.

3. MREŽNI RAD3. NETWORK WORK

Odabirom ove opcije JUKEBOX-i uspostavljaju međusobnu komunikaciju bez ikakvog vanjskog centralnog kompjuterskog sistema, te ovlaštena osoba ima mogućnost prebacivanja i brisanja muzike i svih drugih digitalnih zapisa (npr. video posjetnica lokala, slika izvođača, video spotova, …) između uređaja. Dovoljno je priključiti običnu tastaturu na ugrađeni PC ili koristiti tastaturu NOTEBOOK-a ukoliko je on ugrađen .Uređaji mogu biti priključeni na javnu komunikacijsku mrežu ili internu komunikacijsku mrežu (primjerice ako ih je nekoliko u različitim prostorijama velikog zabavnog centra). Također se može očitavati stanje brojčanika kredita ili statistike pojedinih uređaja. Na taj način može se procijeniti potreba obilaska pojedinih lokacija, te uštedjeti nepotreban put.By selecting this option, JUKEBOXes establish mutual communication without any external central computer system, and the authorized person has the possibility to transfer and delete music and all other digital records (eg video business card of the venue, pictures of performers, video clips, ...) between devices. It is enough to connect an ordinary keyboard to the built-in PC or use the NOTEBOOK keyboard if it is built-in. The devices can be connected to a public communication network or an internal communication network (for example, if there are several of them in different rooms of a large entertainment center). It is also possible to read the state of the credit dial or the statistics of individual devices. In this way, the need to visit certain locations can be assessed, and an unnecessary trip can be saved.

4. BRISANJE PJESAMA4. DELETING SONGS

Odabirom ove opcije može se osloboditi prostor za usnimavanje novih pjesama. Na ekranu se pojavljuje ista slika kao pri normalnom korištenju JUKEBOX-a, te se odabire željeni blok muzike u kojem će se vršiti brisanje. Markiraju se naslovi koji se žele obrisati, a nakon toga uređaj traži potvrdu za brisanje markiranih naslova pjesama. Potvrdom na tipku OK (5) markirani naslovi se brišu. Pritiskom na tipku 1, sl.1, 2 i 3, uređaj sortira preostale naslove po abecednom redu izvođača i vrsti muzike. Nakon toga počinje svirati glazbu.Selecting this option can free up space for recording new songs. The same image appears on the screen as during normal use of the JUKEBOX, and the desired block of music to be deleted is selected. The titles to be deleted are marked, and after that the device asks for confirmation to delete the marked song titles. By pressing the OK button (5), the marked titles are deleted. By pressing button 1, fig.1, 2 and 3, the device sorts the remaining titles alphabetically by artist and type of music. After that he starts playing music.

5. BROJČANIK5. NUMBER

Brojčanici ugrađeni u jukebox prema izumu mogu biti hardverski, softverski ili kombinirani. Pokazuju ostvareni promet odnosno financijske parametre korištenja uređaja.Dials built into the jukebox according to the invention can be hardware, software or combined. They show the achieved turnover, that is, the financial parameters of the use of the device.

6. STATISTIKA6. STATISTICS

Pokazuje koliko je kojih pjesama odsvirano u određenom periodu radi lakšeg praćenja ukusa i želja gostiju, te brisanja naslova koji se rijetko biraju i izvode. Na osnovu statističkih podataka formira se top-lista i onemogućava uzastopno ponavljanje iste pjesme.It shows how many songs were played in a certain period in order to easily follow the tastes and wishes of the guests, and to delete titles that are rarely chosen and performed. On the basis of statistical data, a top-list is formed and makes it impossible to repeatedly repeat the same song.

Svi statistički podaci, pohranjeni u memoriji uređaja, dostupni su samo ovlaštenim osobama. Ti podaci mogu se prikazati na ekranu, štampati ili poslati na bilo koji drugi umreženi MP 3 jukebox istog proizvođača.All statistical data, stored in the device's memory, are available only to authorized persons. This data can be displayed on the screen, printed or sent to any other networked MP 3 jukebox of the same manufacturer.

Rad s uređajemWorking with the device

Ponovnim pritiskom na servisnu tipku JUKEBOX se prebacuje u “random mod” rada u kojem i bez aktiviranja uređaja za naplatu svira smanjenom glasnoćom, birajući naslove po algoritmu slučajnog izbora naslova odnosno melodije. Poseban kontrolni sklop određuje razliku između razine glasnoće u “random modu” (neplaćena tiša glazba) i izabrane plaćene glazbe.By pressing the service button again, the JUKEBOX switches to the "random mode" of operation, in which even without activating the payment device, it plays at a reduced volume, choosing titles according to the algorithm of random selection of titles or melodies. A special control circuit determines the difference between the volume level in "random mode" (unpaid quieter music) and the selected paid music.

Sada gost lokala ima mogućnost odabira željene vrste muzike (6) tipkama (1 –4), te ponovnim biranjem tipkama (1 – 4) odabire željene melodije, te aktiviranjem uređaja za naplatu svira izabrani naslov. Uređaj za naplatu (7) može se aktivirati prije ili poslije odabira glazbe, što znatno pojednostavljuje rukovanje uređajem. Pritom mu je omogućeno plaćanje jedne melodije po nominalnoj tarifi, a više izabranih melodija po povoljnijoj tarifi, npr. 1 pjesma 2 kn (0,25 USD, 0,5 DEM), 3 pjesme 5 kn. Ekran može sadržavati i dodatne informacije o cijeni pojedine pjesme, slike izvođača, reklamne poruke, video posjetnice lokala, spotove i slično. Ove se mogućnosti kontroliraju vlastitim softverom, a mogu se mijenjati prema zahtjevima kupaca JUKEBOX-a. Uređaji za naplatu su standardni industrijski kakve proizvodi više svjetskih proizvođača, a mogu biti aktivirani kovanicama svih apoena proizvoljnim redoslijedom (za prepoznavanje se brine vlastiti softver), žetonima, novčanicama ili karticama (magnetskim ili s chipom). Vrsta uređaja za naplatu odabire se prema želji kupca JUKEBOX-a.Now the guest of the bar has the possibility to select the desired type of music (6) using the keys (1-4), and by selecting the keys (1-4) again, he selects the desired melody, and by activating the payment device, the selected title plays. The charging device (7) can be activated before or after the selection of music, which greatly simplifies handling of the device. In doing so, he is enabled to pay for one melody at a nominal rate, and several selected melodies at a more favorable rate, eg 1 song HRK 2 (USD 0.25, DEM 0.5), 3 songs HRK 5. The screen can also contain additional information about the price of individual songs, images of artists, advertising messages, video business cards of local establishments, videos and the like. These features are controlled by our own software, and can be changed according to the requirements of JUKEBOX customers. Payment devices are standard industrial products produced by several global manufacturers, and can be activated by coins of all denominations in any order (recognition is handled by our own software), tokens, bills or cards (magnetic or with a chip). The type of payment device is selected according to the wishes of the JUKEBOX customer.

Signali sa njih obrađuju se u posebnoj “interface pločici”, koja je rezultat vlastitog razvoja izumitelja, a osnovna prednost je u tome što je ona ili direktno utaknuta u matičnu ploču PC-a ili je spojena na neki od serijskih portova NOTEBOOK-a, te ožičenje ide direktno na nju. Time dobivamo na pouzdanosti rada. Biranje melodija se ostvaruje pritiskom na jednu od tipki 1-4, te se otvara puni ekran za izabranu vrstu glazbe.The signals from them are processed in a special "interface board", which is the result of the inventor's own development, and the main advantage is that it is either plugged directly into the PC motherboard or is connected to one of the serial ports of the NOTEBOOK, and the wiring goes directly to it. This increases the reliability of work. Melodies are selected by pressing one of the keys 1-4, and the full screen for the selected type of music opens.

Podaci o vrsti glazbe, izvođačima i nazivima pjesama složeni su po hijerarhijskom principu “vrsta glazbe→izvođač→ naziv pjesme”.Data on the type of music, artists and song names are compiled according to the hierarchical principle "music type→artist→song name".

Svi podaci prikazani na ekranu vizualno mogu izgledati poput dvije stranice knjige, tako da prelazak s jednog na drugi ekran izgleda kao listanje otvorene knjige. Takav način prikaza podataka omogućava jednostavnije i brže snalaženje u velikom broju podataka, te lakši i brži odabir.All the data displayed on the screen can visually look like two pages of a book, so that switching from one screen to another looks like flipping through an open book. This way of displaying data enables simpler and faster navigation in a large amount of data, and easier and faster selection.

Druga moguća varijanta prikaza podataka na ekranu je da oni vizualno izgledaju kao da su poslagani u retke na jednoj stranici proizvoljne duljine i mogu se prelistavati redak po redak ili ekran po ekran u smjeru prema gore ili prema dolje.Another possible variant of the display of data on the screen is that it visually appears as if it is arranged in lines on one page of arbitrary length and can be scrolled line by line or screen by screen in the upward or downward direction.

Sada korisnik u izabranom ekranu bira izvođača i/ili samu melodiju i starta je pritiskom na tipku OK. Kako bi se spriječilo maltretiranje ostalih gostiju ponavljanjem izvođenja jedne te iste melodije, program izumitelja podržava zabranu ponovnog biranja iste melodije na sljedeći način. Moguće je odrediti proizvoljan broj n (n = 1, 2, …) različitih drugih melodija koje moraju biti izvedene prije nego je moguće ponovno birati istu melodiju.Now the user selects the artist and/or the melody itself in the selected screen and starts it by pressing the OK button. In order to prevent other guests from being harassed by repeating the same melody, the inventor's program supports the prohibition of repeating the same melody as follows. It is possible to specify an arbitrary number n (n = 1, 2, ...) of different other melodies that must be performed before it is possible to select the same melody again.

SOFTVER (SOFTWARE)SOFTWARE

Sustav zapisa MP3 JUKEBOXA koristi, kao što je već naznačeno, MP3 format kompresije zvučnog zapisa. Taj format zahtijeva velike procesorske mogućnosti. Utemeljen je na izuzetno velikoj kompresiji (sažimanju) u odnosu na original, a u isto vrijeme zadržava visoku razinu kvalitete u odnosu na originalni zvučni zapis. MP3 JUKEBOX ima mogućnosti direktnog pretvaranja originalnog CD-a ili bilo kojeg drugog medija pohrane zvučnog zapisa u MP3 format. Pri tome se koriste već postojeće programske rutine (tzv. MP3 coderi) koje su implementirane unutar vlastitog software-a. Na taj način postupak je potpuno automatiziran i ne zahtijeva od korisnika ništa više do umetanja CD-a u čitač, startanje programa za kodiranje te, na kraju, upisivanje imena izvođača i naziva pjesme. Nakon toga sustav sam automatski smješta tako kodirane pjesme u određene mape, koje su definirane nazivom izvođača ili vrstom glazbe.The MP3 JUKEBOX recording system uses, as already indicated, the MP3 audio compression format. This format requires large processing capabilities. It is based on extremely high compression compared to the original, and at the same time it maintains a high level of quality compared to the original soundtrack. MP3 JUKEBOX has the ability to directly convert the original CD or any other audio storage media into MP3 format. In doing so, already existing program routines (so-called MP3 coders) are used, which are implemented within our own software. In this way, the process is completely automated and requires nothing more from the user than inserting the CD into the reader, starting the encoding program and, finally, entering the name of the artist and the name of the song. After that, the system automatically places the encoded songs in certain folders, which are defined by the name of the artist or the type of music.

Dekodiranje MP3 formata vrši se u trenutku izvođenja pjesme. Programska rutina počinje s dekodiranjem i zvučnim izvođenjem pjesme praktički trenutno po izboru, te tako dekodirani signal šalje prema zvučnoj kartici koja pretvara dekodirani digitalni zapis u analogni.Decoding of the MP3 format is done at the moment the song is played. The program routine begins with the decoding and sound performance of the selected song almost instantly, and thus sends the decoded signal to the sound card, which converts the decoded digital record into an analog one.

Sustav za koordinaciju i upravljanje vanjskim komponentama koristi posebno razvijeni dio hardware-a. Konkretno ISA ili PCI kartica sa ulazno-izlaznim kontrolerom (procesorom) koji povezuje vanjske komponente (tipke, žetonjera, upravljanje zvukom i sl.) s rutinama u samom software-u. Nakon startanja sustava, software vrši inicijalizaciju kontrolera postavljajući procesor u određena stanja (neka za čitanje ulaznih komponenti npr. tipki, a neka u izlazna stanja npr. upravljanje žetonjerom). Pošto takav kontroler u nekom trenutku primi signal iz vanjske komponente, obavještava software da je podatak došao i da ga je spreman “isporučiti” programu. Isto tako ukoliko u programu dođe do potrebe za upravljačkim signalom prema nekoj od vanjskih komponenti, program kontroleru šalje podatak koji treba proslijediti prema određenoj komponenti.The system for coordination and management of external components uses a specially developed piece of hardware. Specifically, an ISA or PCI card with an input-output controller (processor) that connects external components (keys, token holder, sound control, etc.) with routines in the software itself. After starting the system, the software initializes the controller by setting the processor in certain states (some for reading input components, eg keys, and some in output states, eg token management). Since such a controller at some point receives a signal from an external component, it informs the software that the data has arrived and is ready to "deliver" it to the program. Likewise, if the program requires a control signal to one of the external components, the program sends data to the controller that needs to be forwarded to the specific component.

Kompletan softver objedinjuje nekoliko cjelina:The complete software combines several units:

1. Izvođački dio gdje se jednostavnim izborom pomicanjem strelica tipkama (1 – 4) bira, a tipkom za potvrdu (5) izvodi odabrana pjesma.1. The performing part where a simple selection by moving the arrows with the keys (1 – 4) is selected, and the selected song is performed with the confirmation key (5).

2. U donjem dijelu ekrana ispisuju se slijedeći parametri:2. The following parameters are displayed in the lower part of the screen:

a) trenutno svira … (naslov pjesme),a) currently playing ... (song title),

b) za odsvirati izabranih pjesama “x”,b) to play selected songs "x",

c) broj plaćenih pjesama (plaćenih kredita) “y”,c) number of paid songs (paid credits) "y",

3. Pokazivač u obliku bar koda na dnu ekrana vizualno pokazuje i prati vrijeme izvođenja pjesme; u toj fazi rada uređaja angažman kontrolera je maksimalan, jer se provjerava da li je koja tipka pritisnuta, da li je aktiviran uređaj za naplatu (netko ubacuje kovanice), prati se kompletan tijek izvođenja pjesme i kontrolira da li u “playlisti” ima još plaćenih pjesama za izvođenje. Ukoliko ih nema, sustav automatski prelazi u “random mod” tj. bira pjesmu po kriteriju slučajnog izbora i šalje nalog kontroleru da smanji nivo glasnoće zvuka na nivo prethodno podešen posebnim kontrolnim sklopom.3. The indicator in the form of a bar code at the bottom of the screen visually shows and monitors the time of the song performance; in this phase of the device's operation, the controller's engagement is maximum, because it is checked whether any button has been pressed, whether the payment device has been activated (someone inserts coins), the complete course of the song performance is monitored and it is checked whether there are any paid items in the "playlist" songs to perform. If there are none, the system automatically switches to "random mode", i.e. it selects a song according to random selection criteria and sends an order to the controller to reduce the sound volume level to the level previously set by a special control circuit.

4. Sustav za brisanje isto tako ima izgled kao i kod izvođenja, s time da se jednostavnim izborom tipkama (1 – 5) brišu pojedine pjesme i izvođači. U statusnom dijelu ekrana prikazuje se slobodan prostor na disku u minutama.4. The deletion system has the same appearance as the performance, with the fact that individual songs and artists are deleted by simple selection with the buttons (1 – 5). In the status part of the screen, the free space on the disk is displayed in minutes.

5. Sustav za automatsko usnimavanje gotovih MP3 CD-a je automatiziran do te mjere da će, po umetanju CD-a u čitač, automatski usnimiti sve pjesme pohranjene na CD-u. Ukoliko neka pjesma već postoji na disku, automatski će biti prebrisana novom verzijom iste kada se učitava s CD-a – to je pogodno ako na pjesmi postoji neka greška koja se automatski ispravlja brisanjem stare i snimanjem nove ispravne verzije. Naravno i tu postoji mogućnost pojedinačnog upisa pjesama.5. The system for automatic recording of finished MP3 CDs is automated to the extent that, after inserting the CD into the reader, it will automatically record all the songs stored on the CD. If a song already exists on the disc, it will be automatically overwritten by the new version when it is loaded from the CD - this is convenient if there is an error on the song that is automatically corrected by deleting the old version and recording a new correct version. Of course, there is also the possibility of individual entry of songs.

6. Sustav statistike prati sve pjesme koje su izvedene u nekom vremenskom razdoblju i stvara po želji top liste najslušanijih izvedbi koje su dostupne na ekranu. Također postoji mogućnost automatskog brisanja pjesama koje se ne sviraju u određenom razdoblju. Ova mogućnost se može podešavati u odnosu na vremensko razdoblje praćenja i minimalni broj izvođenja.6. The statistics system tracks all the songs that have been performed in a certain period of time and creates, as desired, top lists of the most listened to performances that are available on the screen. There is also the option of automatically deleting songs that have not been played for a certain period. This option can be adjusted in relation to the monitoring time period and the minimum number of executions.

Dio vlastito razvijenog softvera ima posebnu zadaću, a to je memoriranje plaćenih kredita i izabranih pjesama u slučaju prekida napajanja uređaja električnom energijom. Time su praktički eliminirani mogući nesporazumi između vlasnika i korisnika uređaja.Part of the self-developed software has a special task, which is to memorize paid credits and selected songs in the event of a power outage. This practically eliminates possible misunderstandings between the owner and user of the device.
