DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a music reproducing apparatus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a music reproducing apparatus of this kind, for example, a karaoke apparatus, when playing a musical piece, an image corresponding to each musical piece is displayed on a TV screen.
After the performance of a certain music is completed, nothing is displayed on the TV screen until the next music is read from the storage means and the performance is started. Since a meaningless video screen such as a video at the time was played, this time was wasted, and effective utilization was desired.

Therefore, in order to make effective use of this time and to lower the unit price of performance per song, after the performance of a certain song is completed, the next song is read out of the storage means and started to be played. A karaoke apparatus capable of displaying service information such as advertisement on a TV screen has been proposed.

[0004]

However, in such a karaoke apparatus, the service information is always displayed between the end of the performance of a music piece and the start of the performance of the next music piece. Although the user of the karaoke apparatus wants to sing as many songs as possible, there is a problem that the singable songs are limited due to the service information.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and provides a music reproducing apparatus capable of flowing service information such as an advertisement at a time interval between music pieces at fixed time intervals. The purpose is to do.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, the configuration of the karaoke apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. This karaoke apparatus has a switch panel 1, a timer 2, an HDD (hard disk drive) 3, a CPU 4, a video control unit 5, a TV
6, a ROM 7, a RAM 8, a sound source 9, an amplifier 10, and a speaker 11.

The switch panel 1 is mounted on the front of the karaoke apparatus main body 20, as shown in FIG. 3, and performs settings such as reservation, cancellation, interruption, and replay of music. The timer 2 counts time to control display of service information described later. The HDD 3 stores music data and video data of performance music, service information data such as advertisements, travel guides, movies and concert guides, and the like.

The CPU 4 reads a key code corresponding to a pressed key from a program in the ROM 7 based on a key input from the switch panel 1 and reads an operation corresponding to the key code from the program.
Reading of the timer value from the timer 2 or HDD
3 is read out of the music data, video data and service information, and key input data from the switch panel 1 and read data from the timer 2 are written into the RAM 8 and read out. Accordingly, video data and service information data are transmitted to the video control unit 5 and music data is transmitted to the sound source 9.

The video control unit 5 converts the video data from the CPU 4 into a so-called NTSC video signal,
It is sent to the V6 and displayed on the screen in accordance with the change of the phrase of the performance music. The sound source 9 performs digital-to-analog conversion of the music data transmitted from the CPU 4, converts the music data to a musical signal having a musical scale, and transmits the music signal to the amplifier 10. Amplifier 10 is sound source 9
And amplifies the music signal from the speaker 11 and sends it out to the speaker 11 for sound output.

Next, the flow of the operation of the karaoke apparatus of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In this karaoke apparatus, the reservation of the music to be played can be made at an arbitrary timing by using the switch panel 1 or a well-known remote controller (not shown).

First, the CPU 4 reads out a set time of the service information display interval set in advance (S
10). This may be set by the user using the switch panel 1 or the remote controller, or may be stored in advance in the ROM 7 together with the program.
Subsequently, the count value of the timer 2 is reset to start counting (S20). If there is a reserved song, the song data and video data corresponding to the song
The data is read from D3 and transmitted to the sound source 9 and the video control unit 5, and the audio and video are output from the speaker 11 and the TV 6 (S30).

When the performance of the music is completed (S
40: YES), the CPU 4 compares the set time of the display interval of the service information read in S10 with the count value of the timer 2 (S50). At this time, when the CPU 4 detects the music end code set at the end of the music data, it is determined that the performance of the music has ended. If the count value exceeds the set time (S50: YES), the CPU 4 reads out the service information from the HDD 3 and sends it to the video control unit 5, and as shown in FIG. Is displayed (S60), and the timer 2 is reset again to start counting (S20). On the other hand, if the count value has not exceeded the set time (S50: NO), the next music piece is played (S30). At this time, if there is no reserved song,
The CPU 4 selects an arbitrary tune from the HDD 3 and plays the tune.

As described above, in the karaoke apparatus according to the present embodiment, service information such as advertisement is displayed on the TV 6 at predetermined time intervals and at a time between music pieces to be played. In addition, the unit price per karaoke song is reduced due to the advertisement fee, and the service information is not displayed for each song, so that the number of songs that the user can sing does not decrease so much.

In this embodiment, the display timing of the service information is determined based on whether or not the count value of the timer 2 has exceeded the set time. The service information may be displayed when the count value becomes 0 or less.

[0019]

Apparent as from the above explanation, according to the present invention, according to the music playback apparatus of the present invention, by inserting a spacing out-bis information certain time during the musical piece and musical piece, waste that is not used a time can be used effectively, it is also beneficial utilization <br/> for users.
