Next, functional blocks of the guitar-type performance device 1 will be described.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing functional blocks of the guitar-type performance device 1 according to the first embodiment.
The guitar-type performance apparatus 1 includes a control unit 10 and a storage unit 20 inside the guitar-type performance apparatus 1 in addition to the insertion port 2, the camera 3, the button 4, the speaker 5, and the display 6 described in FIG.

The insertion slot 2 is an insertion slot for inserting a medium 34 that is a storage medium such as a flash that has downloaded the song data from the PC 30 having the song data. When the medium 34 is inserted into the insertion slot 2, the control unit 10 may detect the medium 34 and automatically store the music data stored in the medium 34 in the music data area 22 by plug and play. .
Moreover, the insertion port for inserting the cable 33 connected with respect to the mobile telephone 31 and music player 32 which have music data may be sufficient. The music data of the mobile phone 31 and the music player 32 can be downloaded via the cable 33 and stored in the music data area 22.
As described above, the guitar-type performance device 1 has the insertion port 2 as a relay for storing the music data stored in the external device such as the PC 30, the mobile phone 31, and the music player 32 in the music data area 22. Data can be easily added.

The control unit 10 has functions of a music output unit 11, a part output unit 12, a ratio calculation unit 13, and a notification unit 14. Details of these functions will be described later.
The control unit 10 is an information calculation processing device (CPU) that performs calculation and processing of information, and controls the entire guitar-type performance device 1. The control unit 10 reads and executes various programs stored in the storage unit 20 as appropriate, thereby realizing various functions according to the present invention in cooperation with the hardware of the guitar-type performance device 1.

  The storage unit 20 includes a program area 21 for storing various programs such as a program for performing a musical performance performed by the control unit 10 and a music data area (memory unit) 22 for storing music data. In addition, the storage unit 20 stores musical instrument information that is information related to a musical instrument whose shape is similar to that of the apparatus. For example, in the case of the guitar-type performance device 1, the instrument information refers to information that the instrument is “guitar”, and the instrument part data is minus-one (erased and removed) from the music data, or the instrument It is used to output only part data. The storage unit 20 has a temporary storage area. The temporary storage area may include a local memory for expanding a table or the like and a cache memory when various programs are executed.

The music data area 22 stores a plurality of music data, for example, music data A and music data B. Each piece of music data has a plurality of channels, and each channel is associated with different part data. For example, in the music data A, guitar part data is associated with channel a1, drum part data with channel a2, and bass part data with channel a3. The remaining channels are also associated with predetermined part data. The part data is, for example, information representing a tone color, a pitch, a sound length, and the like represented by data in MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) format. Therefore, by outputting the part data via the speaker 5, it is possible to output the sound of each musical instrument part from the speaker 5.
Thus, by using the music data in the MIDI format, the part data can be easily specified from the characteristics of the MIDI data.

Next, processing of the guitar-type performance device 1 will be described.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the performance process according to the first embodiment.
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a screen example of the display 6 according to the first embodiment.
In FIG. 4, in step S <b> 1, the control unit 10 of the guitar-type performance device 1 determines whether, for example, the above-described medium 34 or cable 33 for downloading music data into the insertion slot 2 is inserted. If it is inserted (step S1: YES), the controller 10 moves the process to step S2. If not inserted (step S1: NO), the control unit 10 moves the process to step S3.

In step S2, the control unit 10 performs music data download processing. Specifically, when the medium inserted into the insertion slot 2 is the medium 34, the control unit 10 downloads music data included in the medium 34 and stores the music data in the music data area 22 of the storage unit 20.
Next, in step S3, the control unit 10 determines whether or not a reproduction instruction has been accepted. The reproduction instruction is performed, for example, by the player P operating the button 4 to select and determine a song to be played from a list of songs displayed on the display 6.

  Here, FIG. 5A shows a song name list displayed on the display 6. In the song name list, song names 41 of a plurality of songs are displayed. The song name 41 displayed as the song name list is the song name of the song data stored in the song data area 22. A selection symbol 43 in the shape of a right-pointing triangle indicating “◯ Δ ×” is displayed on the left side of the song title 42 “◯ Δ ×”. The selection symbol 43 moves up and down by the operation of the button 4 by the player P, and selects another song name. Then, the player name P is determined by the player P operating another button 4 with a certain song title selected.

Returning to FIG. 4, when the control unit 10 receives a reproduction instruction (S3: YES), the control unit 10 moves the process to step S4. On the other hand, when the reproduction instruction has not been received (S3: NO), the control unit 10 ends this process.
In step S4, the control unit 10 (music output unit 11) outputs other part data excluding the part data of the guitar part based on the instrument information stored in the storage unit 20. With this processing, the guitar-type performance apparatus 1 can output other part data such as a drum and a bass from the speaker 5 except for the guitar part which is a musical instrument imitated by itself.

In step S5, the control unit 10 determines whether or not a performance action by the player P is detected. Here, the detection of the performance movement by the player P means that the player P imitates playing the guitar and performs a gesture of drawing a string, so that the player P's hand passes across the camera 3 and It means detecting the movement of the player P from the video. When the performance action is detected (step S5: YES), the control unit 10 moves the process to step S6. On the other hand, when the performance operation is not detected (step S5: NO), the control unit 10 moves the process to step S7.
In step S6, the control unit 10 (part output unit 12) outputs the part data of the guitar part in synchronization with the output of other part data.
As described above, the guitar-type performance device 1 outputs part data excluding guitar part data among music data composed of a plurality of part data, and the camera 3 senses a pseudo performance performance of the player P. As a result, the guitar part data is output, so that the player P can be made to perform the performance of the musical instrument in a pseudo manner.

When the guitar-type performance device 1 has a plurality of cameras 3, the volume of sound output from the speaker 5 is changed or the tone of the sound is changed depending on the video captured by the camera 3. Or put it on. For example, when all the cameras 3 sense the movement of the player P, the loudness of the sound is made larger than when a certain camera 3 does not sense the movement of the player P.
Therefore, the guitar-type performance device 1 can output sound with various changes depending on the mode of the pseudo performance operation of the player P.

  In step S7, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the process is finished. The term “end” refers to a case where the performance of the musical piece that has been performed ends or a case where the performance is interrupted by the player P operating the button 4. When the process is to be ended (step S7: YES), the control unit 10 moves the process to step S8. On the other hand, when not complete | finishing (step S7: NO), the control part 10 moves a process to step S4.

  In step S8, the control unit 10 (ratio calculation unit 13, notification unit 14) performs an evaluation process. Specifically, the ratio calculation unit 13 calculates the output time of the guitar part data as the data amount of the guitar part data of the played music, and the player P actually performs the performance operation of the guitar part data. As a result, the output time is calculated as the amount of data output as sound to the speaker 5. And the ratio calculation part 13 calculates the amount of data performed with respect to the whole data amount of part data as an evaluation value. For example, assuming that the music piece has a performance time of 2 minutes and the guitar part is 80 seconds in total, the time of the guitar part played by the player P actually performing the performance action is 68 seconds in total. Suppose. In this case, the evaluation value is calculated as 0.85 (= 68/80). The notification unit 14 notifies the player P of the calculated evaluation value.

Here, FIG. 5 (b) shows a case where it is displayed on the display 6 as a notification to the player P. On the display 6, the evaluation value is scored as “85 points” and displayed on the evaluation unit 45. A comment corresponding to the evaluation of the evaluation unit 45 may be displayed on the comment unit 46.
Thus, the guitar-type performance apparatus 1 can provide an environment in which the player P can recognize the proportion of reproduction of the part data reproduced by the player P's pseudo performance operation.
Returning to FIG. 4, the control unit 10 then ends this process.
