Japanese Patent No. 3961373 JP 2004-354756 A

Patent Document 1 relates to a search-type karaoke remote control, and discloses a touch-panel type remote control device having a search result one-touch reproduction processing function.
The disclosed content in Patent Document 1 is to reproduce the search result remaining on the screen in a search used by the user with one touch.

  The search method and search device disclosed in Patent Document 1 reproduces the immediately preceding search situation, and is not an invention related to the display order of search results.

  Further, Patent Document 2 focuses on the fact that the category of music is different for each user when searching for music. For example, music is often selected with the same preference (for example, the same artist). Therefore, a technique for reproducing a past screen display state that is meaningful to the user with a small number of operation procedures is disclosed.

  Similar to Patent Document 1, the search method and search device disclosed in Patent Document 2 are not inventions related to the display order of search results.

  In selecting a specific music from a number of music in this way, although there are several proposals for measures to facilitate selection or to propose music selection, the music displayed after selecting a specific search axis The display order is only displayed by a method specified in advance by the manufacturer, such as in the order of the Japanese syllabary.

  An object of the present invention is to allow a user to customize a song at any time so that a user can quickly select a song that the user likes from a narrowed song list or a song list such as a personal song.

In order to achieve the above object, claim 1 of the present invention provides a search result for displaying a music list corresponding to a specific search axis for a user by displaying characters and images on a touch panel by screen transition or screen scroll. A karaoke remote control application having a display means,
Based on the user's music selection frequency, the display order of the music list displayed by the search result display means is changed at a predetermined timing in the order of the user's music selection frequency.

Further, claim 2 is a plurality of karaoke performance devices;
A center server that stores karaoke music and karaoke music search information, and supplies karaoke music equipment and karaoke music search information to a karaoke performance device;
A network karaoke system comprising a remote control terminal equipped with a karaoke remote control application connected to the center server via network communication and controlling each karaoke device,
The display order of the music list displayed by the search result display means is changed at a predetermined timing in the order of the user's music selection frequency in the user's music selection frequency information counted by the center server.

  Further, the display order of the music list displayed by the search result display means can be changed at a predetermined timing in the order of the user's music selection frequency in the remote controller terminal, and in this case and the center server In this case, it is possible to select the case of changing at a predetermined timing in the order of music selection frequency based on the music selection frequency information of the user.

  According to the present invention, since the music list is displayed in accordance with the user's music selection frequency, the music with the higher user selection frequency can be easily selected and the operability can be improved. For music that is not selected by an individual user, the display order can be changed based on the music selection frequency of the entire system counted by the center server, so that popular music is placed at a position where it can be more easily selected. In addition, regarding the handling of the order of selection frequency when music is added from the manufacturer side as needed, an application such as making it easy to select according to the user's preference is also conceivable.

The network karaoke system block diagram in one Example of this invention. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment of a remote control application top screen. Explanatory drawing of an example of a music list display screen. Explanatory drawing which shows the structure of the terminal for remote control.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the center server sends a music search axis to a remote control terminal 1 equipped with a karaoke remote control application directly via a network or indirectly via a karaoke device. Music management data including
Today, the remote control terminal 1 is provided with a dedicated remote control terminal manufactured by a karaoke device manufacturer as a set together with a karaoke device, and a portable information terminal installed with a karaoke remote control application by download. In the example, the remote control terminal 1 is a portable information terminal possessed in advance by a karaoke user in which a karaoke remote control application is installed.

  FIG. 5 shows the remote control terminal 1, which mainly includes a communication control unit 15 that performs communication with the outside, a memory 13, a touch panel 12, and the like, each connected to the control unit 14. Controlled. In particular, as an operation unit, the touch panel 12 includes a display 20 and a touch sensor 21, and a menu screen 2 or the like is displayed on the display 20 so that an operation can be performed while touching. Various application programs can be downloaded to the memory 13, and the program according to the present invention is also downloaded to this portion.

When the karaoke remote control application installed in the portable information terminal owned by the karaoke user is activated, the menu screen 2 is displayed as the karaoke remote control application top screen as shown in FIG. When the operation button 3 for searching for a song is tapped, a music list 4 in which music pieces as shown in FIG. 3 are listed is displayed at the bottom of the title bar 5.
The music list 4 can be displayed on one screen as shown in FIG. 3, and the music that is not displayed on the initial screen is sequentially displayed by scrolling the screen up and down, and the desired music is displayed. It can be specified.

  The music list by the conventional karaoke remote control is displayed in the order registered by the user, for example, in the case of a personal song, and although the scrolling speed is faster, it is not easy to select from a large number of registered music, Since the music list 4 is rearranged in accordance with the user's music selection frequency, it is easy to select music.

  Each user who enjoys karaoke has a preference, the music should be biased, and there should be a favorite, and there was a problem in displaying the music list unilaterally, but it was used according to the user's preference If the display order of the music list 4 is determined in the order of the user's selection frequency, even if the provider side adds music more and more, the user can always maintain a certain level of operability, and the service will not be degraded. The more you use it, the more it matches the user's taste and the more comfortable it is to use.

  As for the display order of the music list 4 in the personal song, members displayed in the order of the user's selection frequency by the personally-owned remote control terminal 1 and members counted by the center server as in the embodiment according to claim 2 If the user information based on the ID is in the up state, the user who uses the plurality of remote control terminals 1 can always register the music selection frequency information in the center server, and the user's music selection frequency. Since the music list 4 is rearranged in accordance with the above, music selection becomes easy.

As yet another embodiment, when the operation button 3 (search for a song) is pressed, a plurality of search axes are displayed, and a chronological search axis is selected, and the result of the chronological search is displayed. The case of the music list 4 will be described. What is age search?
