  By the way, many karaoke users are particular about their own singer rankings, and often sing again and again until they are within the target singer rankings. In such a case, since the song that does not reach the target singer ranking has no meaning, the song itself may be wasted even though it was sung throughout the entire song section. is there. As described above, the scoring result for the singer ranking is obtained by dividing one musical piece into a plurality of singing sections and based on the scoring values in the respective singing sections. If you fail to sing in the first half of the section, even if you sing in the second half of the singing section with a high score that can be ranked higher in the singer ranking, the overall scoring result will be low and within the target singer ranking You may not be able to enter.

  In such a case, the singing in the latter half singing section sung with a high score is useless, leading to a loss of time. Of course, when the singer realizes that he could not sing well, the performance may be stopped by his own operation, but such operation is troublesome for the singer. In addition, it may be difficult for the singer's subjective judgment to accurately grasp whether or not he / she can finally fall within the target singer ranking.

  The present invention has been proposed in view of the above-described circumstances, and is used in a karaoke system that performs ranking based on a singing score result of a song sung by a user using a singing scoring function attached to a karaoke device. The purpose is to provide a karaoke system that does not bother the singer and avoid unnecessary singing after the possibility that the listener has reached the target singer ranking And

  The karaoke system of the present invention has the following features in order to achieve the above-described object. That is, the karaoke system of the present invention calculates a singing score value for each singing section divided in advance for an arbitrary karaoke piece, singing the singing score value to obtain a singing grading result, A karaoke system having a music performance stop control function, comprising: a user management means, a singer ranking management means, a target ranking management means, a provisional ranking assigning means, and a performance control means. Is.

  The user management means is a means for specifying a user based on the user ID of the user who has logged in the system and managing the user using a predetermined user management table. The singer ranking management means, for each ranking corresponding song sung by the user, the singer ranking corresponding to the singing scoring result corresponds to the song ID of the ranking corresponding song and the user ID of the user In addition, it is a means for managing in a predetermined ranking management table. The target ranking management means is a means for managing a singer ranking set by an arbitrary user for each piece of music as a target ranking in a predetermined target ranking table. The provisional ranking means, for each ranking-corresponding song sung by any user, every time the singing score in each singing section ends, each singing score value in each singing singing section, and in the unsung section It is a means for performing provisional ranking with reference to the singer ranking in the ranking management table in accordance with the virtual singing grading result calculated based on each highest grading value. The performance control means is means for stopping the performance of the music piece when the provisional ranking is lower than the target ranking.

  In the karaoke system having such a configuration, when an ID card or the like possessed by a user is inserted into a card reader, the user ID of the user is read by the card reader, and the system login of the user is performed. When the user logs in to the system, a user management table is created based on the user ID of the user by the function of the user management means, and thereafter, the user is managed by the user ID. The user management table is stored in a RAM or the like that is a component device of the karaoke performance terminal.

  Moreover, when the ranking corresponding music for which ranking is set is played, ranking is performed based on the scoring result by the function of the singer ranking management means, and the song ID, the user ID of the singer, and the scoring result Are associated with each other and managed in a predetermined ranking management table. The management of the singer ranking is performed for all ranking-compatible songs. The ranking management table is stored in, for example, an HDD that is a component device of the karaoke server.

  In the present invention, the singer ranking targeted by the user can be set. In other words, by the function of the target ranking management means, a singer ranking set by an arbitrary user for each song is managed as a target ranking in a predetermined target ranking table. The target ranking table is stored in a RAM or the like that is a component device of the karaoke performance terminal.

  And if the performance of the music to which the target ranking was set is performed, singing scoring will be performed for every song section divided beforehand. And, by the function of the provisional ranking means, when scoring of the singing section where the singing was actually finished, it is assumed that the highest scoring value was acquired in all the singing sections after the singing section, virtual scoring Results are calculated and provisional ranking is performed. That is, provisional ranking is performed based on the scoring values in the singing sections that have already been scored, the scoring values in the singing singing sections, and the highest scoring values in all the singing sections that have not yet been sung.

  Here, the provisional ranking and the target ranking are compared by the function of the performance control means, and when the provisional ranking is lower than the target ranking, the performance of the music is stopped. That is, if it is assumed that the highest score value was acquired in the unsung section, if there is a possibility that it falls within the target ranking, the performance of the music is continued while the highest score value is acquired in the unsung section. If it is assumed that there is no possibility of entering the target ranking, the performance of the music is stopped.

  According to the karaoke system of the present invention, even if it is assumed that the highest score value has been obtained in a singing section that has not yet been sung, the performance of the music piece is no longer possible within the target singer ranking. Therefore, for the singer who sets the target ranking, it is not necessary to perform unnecessary singing after that, and the time loss can be minimized. Also, since the performance is automatically stopped, it is not necessary for the user to perform troublesome operations, and the user can save time and concentrate on the singing.

Suppose it was a point. Here, it is assumed that 10 points which are the highest scoring values have been acquired from the singing section (3) to the singing section (10) which are unscored sections. In this case, the provisional ranking at the time when the scoring of the singing section (2) is finished is first place (95 points) and is within the target ranking third place (80 points), so the music performance is continued. Although not shown, the provisional ranking up to the following singing section (3) is 1st place (91 points), the provisional ranking up to the singing section (4) is 1st place (89 points), each within the target ranking 3rd place As a result, the music continues to be played.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7 (2), scoring from the singing section (1) to the singing section (5) ends, the scoring section (1) has a scoring value of 8 points, and the singing section (2) has a scoring. Assume that the score is 7 points, the scoring value is 6 points in the singing section (3), the scoring value is 8 points in the singing section (4), and the scoring value is 6 points in the singing section (5). Here, it is assumed that 10 points which are the highest scoring values have been acquired from the singing section (6) to the singing section (10) which are unscored sections. In this case, the provisional ranking at the time when the singing section (5) has been scored is first (85 points) and within the target ranking (third point) (80 points), so the music performance is continued. Although not shown in the figure, the provisional ranking up to the following singing section (6) is 2nd place tie (83 points), the provisional ranking up to the singing section (7) is 2nd place tie (83 points), and each target ranking is 3rd place. The performance of the music is continued because it is within.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7 (3), scoring from the singing section (1) to the singing section (8) is completed, the singing section (1) has a scoring value of 8 points, and the singing section (2) has a scoring. The score is 7 points, the scoring value is 6 points in the singing section (3), the scoring value is 8 points in the singing section (4), the scoring value is 6 points in the singing section (5), and the scoring value is in the singing section (6). It is assumed that the scoring value is 10 points in the singing section (7), and the scoring value is 7 points in the singing section (8). Here, it is assumed that 10 points which are the highest scoring values have been acquired from the singing section (9) to the singing section (10) which are unscored sections. In this case, the provisional ranking at the time when the grading of the singing section (8) is finished is 4th place (80 points) and is not within the target ranking 3rd place (82 points).
