Description

  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a karaoke scoring device that scores and displays a skill of singing during the performance of karaoke music, and more specifically, to a karaoke scoring device that can display a progress score during singing.

  As is well known, the karaoke device is accompanied by a karaoke scoring device. This device scores by comparing the singer's singing voice input from a microphone with the main melody of accompaniment music. Specifically, for example, a score of 100 points is output as a scoring result for each scoring section with an appropriate section as a scoring section, such as for each measure, for each predetermined number of measures, or for each phrase set in the music. . Then, the average value of the scores in all scoring sections from the start to the end of the accompaniment music is calculated, and the score is displayed as the final scoring result. There is also a karaoke scoring device that calculates the elapsed score by averaging the scores for each scoring interval during the performance and displays the elapsed score (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  By the way, a karaoke device that is a performance terminal of a well-known online karaoke system downloads karaoke data that is the origin of karaoke accompaniment music and lyrics generation from a host device connected via a communication network, or records an operation log of the karaoke device itself. Uploading to the host device. Therefore, when the singing scoring function is used, the score calculated for the use opportunity is transmitted to the host device, and the host device collects the singing score from the karaoke devices in each place and collects the collected information in the score ranking etc. The karaoke apparatus distributes the information to the karaoke apparatus, and displays the distributed information as appropriate for presentation to the user.

By utilizing this communication karaoke system infrastructure and karaoke scoring device, there is a communication karaoke system that can provide a service (singing contest) for competing singing scores with other singers nationwide. For example, in the communication karaoke system described in Patent Literature 2 below, the karaoke device acquires a user ID for identifying a user, and transmits to the host device who sang what and how many points were taken. It has become. Then, the host device creates a score ranking for each predetermined period such as monthly or annual based on the transmission information. Thereby, for example, this ranking is distributed to the karaoke device, and the user can display the score ranking on the karaoke device and know where the user is in the ranking. In addition, it is possible to provide a service in which a karaoke company sends a certificate of merit, a prize or the like to a higher-ranking user in the score ranking at intervals of a predetermined period such as weekly or monthly.
JP-A-11-95775 Japanese Patent No. 3136272

  The karaoke device has a function to stop the performance in the middle according to the user's instruction. In the karaoke scoring device that displays the progress score, if the performance is stopped when a high score is obtained during the performance, the high score is obtained as a final scoring result. Therefore, this progress score can also be transmitted as a score to be transmitted to the host device in order to participate in the singing contest. For this reason, if a certificate or prize is in place, the singer is tempted to stop the performance with the high score. This is unfair because the person who sang to the end and the person who stopped the performance with a high score in the middle compete for ranking.

  Moreover, even if a singing contest is not carried out, making a high score in the middle of a performance as a scoring result is not in line with the original usage of a karaoke scoring device that sings to the end and knows the skill. Originally, the karaoke scoring device is intended to improve the enjoyment of singing karaoke by singing the motivation of the singing singer by knowing the scoring results when singing to the end. Even if you stop singing in the middle and get a high score, you will never get a sense of improvement or a sense of accomplishment.

  The present invention has been created to solve the above problems. An object of the present invention is to provide a karaoke scoring device that can keep a singer singing to the end while displaying the progress of scoring in the middle of a performance, and can inspire improvement and challenge to karaoke.

The present invention has the following requirements (1) to (7).
(1) A karaoke scoring device that marks and displays the skill of singing during the performance of karaoke music.
(2) To perform a scoring process for each section, an average score calculation process, a progress situation recognition process, a final score calculation process, and a score display process.
(3) The scoring process by section is to sequentially output score information with a predetermined score for each scoring section in karaoke music.
(4) The average score calculation process is to sequentially calculate the average value of the score information that is sequentially output for each scoring section.
(5) Progress status recognition processing is to recognize the scored and unscored scoring sections in karaoke music.
(6) The final score calculation process is to sequentially calculate the final score of singing cancellation by regarding the score information of the unscored score section as zero based on the latest average value calculated sequentially.
(7) In the score display process, the latest average value calculated sequentially and the final score of singing stop are sequentially displayed.

  Moreover, when the performance of a karaoke music piece is stopped on the way, it can also be set as the karaoke scoring apparatus which matches and outputs the said karaoke music piece and the singing stop final score at the time of cancellation.

  According to the karaoke scoring device of the present invention, it is possible to maintain the intention to sing to the end without stopping the singing, and to stir up the karaoke.

The central control unit 11 controls the peripheral components to control the karaoke device 1, and the hard disk device 12 is the origin of generation of accompaniment music data mainly composed of MIDI data and lyrics images for many karaoke songs. Karaoke data including lyrics rendering data is stored. In addition, for the long-format video data in a predetermined format, script data that defines the video data processing sequence (storage location and processing order of video data to be processed, etc.) Table of contents information such as the release year and the singing part of the lyrics is also stored. And the central control part 11 identifies the karaoke data, script data, and table of contents information of each music by a music number, and manages this as a karaoke database.

  The host device 90 distributes karaoke data, script data, table of contents information, etc., about new music to the karaoke device 1 in a timely manner, or collects operation logs collected at any time by the karaoke device 1. The central control unit 11 is connected to the store LAN 110 and the VPN 70 via the network interface 23 and communicates with the host device 90. Then, the karaoke data sent from the host device 90 is received to update the contents of the karaoke database, and various information such as an operation log collected on the karaoke device 1 side is transmitted to the host device.

  On the other hand, the electronic table of contents 30 includes a user interface mainly composed of a touch panel 33 in which a liquid crystal display (LCD) 31 and a touch sensor 32 are stacked, and the built-in flash memory 35 is stored in the karaoke apparatus 1. Similar table of contents information and various image information displayed on the touch panel 33 are stored. The remote control unit 34 includes a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, a video RAM, and the like, develops various image information and character information into a video RAM based on input information to the touch panel 33, and displays an LCD based on the bitmap data. The driver 36 is driven to display appropriate information on the touch panel 33. The table of contents information stored in the flash memory 35 is managed as a music index database.

  The remote controller control unit 34 accepts a fragment of the table of contents information as a query through dialogue with the user via the touch panel 33, extracts the table of contents information of the corresponding karaoke song from the song index database, and presents it. Then, in the electronic table of contents 30, when the karaoke piece is finally specified as one piece and a user input for making a reservation for the piece of music is made, the remote controller control unit 34 displays the performance reservation command including the piece number. A code is generated and transferred to the LED driver 37. The LED driver 37 drives the LED 38 to transmit an infrared signal including this code.

  When the operation control unit 13 of the karaoke apparatus 1 receives the performance reservation command code via the light receiving unit 15, the operation control unit 13 transfers the code to the central control unit 11. The central control unit 11 stores the music number in the command in an internal RAM and manages it in a performance processing queue. The music numbers are sequentially extracted from the queue, the corresponding karaoke data is read from the hard disk device 12, and the accompaniment music data in the karaoke data is transferred to the synthesizer 19 to generate accompaniment music.

  On the other hand, with regard to the lyric rendering data, the lyric image in which the portion to be sung is changed in color in synchronization with the accompaniment music is sequentially developed in the video RAM 16 as a bitmap. Also, predetermined moving image data is sequentially transferred to the video controller 17 in a predetermined order based on the script data, and the background moving image of the lyrics image is decoded.

  The mixing amplifier 20 mixes and amplifies the accompaniment music and the singing voice input to the microphone 22 and outputs the sound from the speaker 21. The video control unit 17 superimposes the lyric image on the decoded moving image and outputs it on the display 18.

  Moreover, the karaoke apparatus 1 is equipped with a karaoke scoring device. The singing scoring unit 23 is substantially a karaoke scoring device main body, and is based on the pitch of the main melody (pitch reference value) in the accompaniment music data transferred from the central control unit 11 and the singing voice signal input from the microphone 22. Scoring the skill of singing. The central control part 11 will transfer the pitch reference value of the karaoke data of a performance music to the singing scoring part 23 sequentially, if the user input to the effect of singing a score is received. The singing scoring unit 23 samples the singing voice signal input from the microphone 22 and converts it into digital singing voice data, and extracts the singing voice pitch from the singing voice data. Then, the pitch reference value is compared with the singing voice pitch, and the score based on the comparison result is sequentially output with a maximum score of 100 for each singing scoring interval preset in the accompaniment music data. In this embodiment, for each scoring section, a scoring section is set by associating codes indicating the beginning and end of the section in the performance time series in the accompaniment music data. That is, in the MIDI data in which the accompaniment sounds are described along with the performance time series, information indicating the beginning or end of the scoring section is described in the specific accompaniment sound. The central control unit 11 causes the display 18 to display an average score of 100 points that are sequentially output during the music performance as an elapsed score. The score is displayed on the display 18 as the final score.

In this embodiment, a person who is currently using the karaoke device 1 is temporarily registered in the karaoke device 1 as a user regardless of whether it is a member or a non-member, and the karaoke device 1 has an identification code (personal identification code) of each user and an individual. The identification mark is associated and managed as a member table. The member table is created on the electronic table of contents 30 side and is transferred to the karaoke apparatus 1. The personal identification mark is an image in which a face portion of a character image imitating an animal or the like prepared in advance in the electronic table of contents 30 is used as a frame frame, and a user's own face photograph is inserted in the frame frame. It is said. The electronic table of contents 30 is equipped with a digital camera 44 for taking an image as a mark, and a shutter button is disposed at an appropriate position of the housing.

  The user registration procedure in the electronic table of contents 30 is shown in FIGS. When the electronic table of contents 30 is activated, a top screen for calling various functions provided in the table of contents 30 is displayed (FIG. 4: 120). Here, an “add member” button 121 on the top screen 120 is instructed. The remote control unit 34 generates a unique personal identification code in response to this instruction operation. In this embodiment, a personal identification code is generated with a serial number for each instruction opportunity of the “add member” button 121. Then, a user registration start screen (FIG. 5: 130) is displayed. The screen 130 includes a user registration procedure description 131 and a list 132 of several types of frame images prepared in advance in the memory.

  When the user selects a desired frame from the frame list 132 in the user registration start screen 130, a shooting screen (FIG. 6: 140) including a captured image of the digital camera 44 is displayed. On this screen 140, the photographed image is displayed on the sub-screen 141, and on this screen 141, an outline (guide frame) 142 having the same shape as the frame of the previously selected frame image is displayed. In this state, the user directs the digital camera 44 toward the subject, moves the electronic table of contents book 30 back and forth, left and right so that the portion to be fitted in the frame is accommodated in the guide frame 142, determines the composition, and presses the shutter button. . In response to this shooting operation, the remote controller 34 cuts out the image in the guide frame 142 from the shot image of the digital camera 44 and performs image processing for fitting the cut image into the frame of the previously selected frame image. The inset image is stored in the flash memory 35 as an individual identification mark.

  When the personal identification mark is created, the electronic table of contents 30 next displays a character palette together with name input guidance (FIG. 7: 150). When the user uses this character palette to input a user name such as his / her name and nickname, a user registration screen (FIG. 8: 160) is displayed. This screen includes a frame image 161 in which a photographed image is fitted in a frame and a button 162 for registering this image as a personal identification mark. When the “registration” button 162 is instructed on this screen, the remote control unit 34 associates the previously generated personal identification code, the created personal identification mark, and the input user name, Enter this in the member table.

=== Member Registration ===
A user who wants to register as a member along with user registration performs an operation of reading the IC card ID into the electronic table of contents prior to the user registration procedure. The operation procedure is shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. First, the “MY BOX” button 122 on the top screen 120 is instructed to display the MY BOX menu screen including a list of MY BOX services (FIG. 9: 170). When the user designates the “member registration” button 171 in this list, a guidance screen including a description prompting registration of the card ID is displayed (FIG. 10: 180). When the user brings the IC card into contact with the antenna unit 45 according to this guidance, the card interface 46 demodulates the modulated radio wave received via the antenna unit 45, and the card ID code multiplexed in the demodulated signal is received. The extracted code is transferred to the remote controller 34. When receiving the code of the card ID, the remote control unit 34 issues a personal identification code, associates the card ID with the personal identification code, and temporarily stores them in an internal RAM or the like. Then, the previous user registration start screen 130 is displayed, and thereafter, registration of a personal identification mark and a user name is accepted according to the above-described user registration procedure. FIG. 11 shows a schematic structure of the member table. The image file name of the personal identification mark and the user name are associated with the 2-digit personal identification code, and the card ID is also associated with the registered user.

  When the user registers all the information in the member table, the user mounts the electronic table of contents 30 on the charging stand 50. When the electronic table of contents 30 is mounted on the charging table 50, the charging table 50 supplies power to the electronic table of contents 30 via the power input terminal 42 to charge the secondary battery 43, and for the communication interface (IF). The terminal 40 is connected to mediate communication between the communication IF 39 of the electronic table of contents 30 and the communication interface 24 of the karaoke apparatus 1. As a result, the member table is transferred from the electronic table of contents 30 to the karaoke apparatus 1. The central control unit 11 of the karaoke device 1 stores the received member table in a predetermined storage unit such as the hard disk device 12. When the card ID is associated with the member table, the card ID, the user name, and the personal identification mark are transmitted to the host device. The host device 90 opens a new MY BOX using the card ID as a member ID.

  For users who have completed membership registration in advance, it is only necessary to indicate the member authentication button 172 in the MY BOX service menu screen 170 and hold the IC card. The electronic table of contents 30 associates the newly issued user ID with the ID of the IC card. Then, only this association is transferred to the karaoke apparatus 1. The karaoke device 1 inquires of the host device 90 about the card ID and sends the user name and personal identification mark of the corresponding member. The karaoke apparatus 1 transfers the sent user name and personal identification mark to the electronic table of contents 30 and writes them in its member table. The user name and personal identification mark transferred also on the electronic table of contents 30 side are stored in association with the corresponding user ID.

=== Application for singing contest ===
The outline of the application procedure for participation in singing content is shown in FIGS. If the user wants to perform a singing contest when singing, the user instructs the MY BOX button on the top page 110 of the electronic table of contents 30 to display the MY BOX service menu screen 170. When the singing contest button 173 is instructed from this menu, the central control unit 11 temporarily stores information indicating that the instruction has been accepted, and makes the screen transition to the top page 110. When the user selects an appropriate music selection method from the top page 110 and finally specifies one music, a screen (FIG. 12: 190) on which detailed information on the music is described is displayed. When the “reservation” button 191 on this screen is instructed, a small screen (FIG. 13: 192) for prompting member identification is popped up on this screen 190. In the present embodiment, the user's personal identification mark registered in the member table is displayed in a selectable list. At this time, only a personal identification mark associated with a member ID may be selected and displayed so that a mark other than a member is not selected. When the user selects his / her mark, the electronic table of contents 30 reserves a performance reservation including the personal identification code corresponding to the selected mark, the music number of the specific musical piece, and information on the instruction to perform the singing content. The command is transmitted, a confirmation screen (FIG. 14: 200) is displayed, and the screen transitions to the previous top screen 120.

  When the central control unit 11 of the karaoke apparatus 1 receives the performance reservation command transferred from the electronic table of contents 30 via the operation control unit 13, when registering the music number in the command in the queue, the music number Is associated with the personal identification code and the information on the presence or absence of the contest execution instruction. FIG. 15 shows a queue registration state.

=== Implementation of a singing contest ===
The central control unit 11 sequentially monitors the contents of the queue, and for songs for which there is a contest execution instruction, singing content information including the song number is sent at an appropriate time, such as when the performance order of the song is first. The request is transmitted to the host device 90. When the host device 90 accepts this request, the host device 90 returns score ranking information about the corresponding music piece to the karaoke device 1. The karaoke apparatus 1 displays on the display 18 the score ranking information received from the host apparatus 90 when the music is played. FIG. 16 shows a score ranking information display screen 210. In this figure, the top 10 scoring ranks are displayed. Of course, it may be displayed up to the final order by scrolling.

  When the central control unit 11 starts playing the song contest participation song, it activates the singing scoring unit 23, compares the progress score sequentially calculated during the performance and each score ranking score, and the rank of the progress score is currently set. Monitor for it at any time. Then, a bitmap image in which the elapsed score is reflected on the score ranking screen is sequentially generated, and the generated screen is displayed on the display 18. When the performance is completed, the final score is reflected in the score ranking, and as a scoring result, data in which the number of the music played for the final score and the member ID are associated is transmitted to the host device 90. The host device 90 updates the singing score ranking information for the corresponding song, and stores the song number and the final score in association with this member's MY BOX as a scoring history.

  When the performance is forcibly terminated when the score becomes high during the performance, if the progress score at that time is uploaded to the host device 90 as the final score, the ranking is updated based on the progress score. End up. This is unfair to those who sang to the end. Therefore, in order to prevent such unfairness, the karaoke apparatus 1 calculates the score at the end of the performance as the final score of the singing stop when the performance is canceled so that the score of the scoring section after the stop is zero. The singing stop final score is output as the final score. During the performance, the latest progress score and the final score for singing stop are displayed on the display 18 together. Accordingly, when the performance is stopped, the singer can recognize that the singing stop final score is uploaded to the host device 90 as the final score instead of the progress score at that time. In addition, by displaying the final score of singing cancellation, it is possible to maintain the willingness and challenge of the singers to the end. FIG. 17 shows a score ranking screen displayed on the display 18 during the singing contest. In this screen 220, the latest average score (elapsed score) 221, singing stop final score 222, and rankings (223, 224) for each score (221, 222) are also displayed.

  As a calculation processing procedure of the final score of singing cancellation, the central control unit 11 acquires the number of all singing grading sections in the music accompaniment data before starting the performance of the singing contest participation music, and performs the performance processing. In parallel, the number of singing grading sections already scored and the number of unscored singing grading sections are sequentially monitored. Then, all the scores in the unscored singing scoring section are set to zero, the average score over all the singing sections is sequentially calculated based on the latest average score, and the calculation result is sequentially output as the singing stop final score. Specifically, the latest progress score may be multiplied by the number of scored sections, and the multiplied value may be divided by the total number of scored sections. When the central control unit 11 receives a user input to cancel the performance, the central control unit 11 cancels the processing of the karaoke data and forcibly ends the performance, and the scoring result with the final score of the singing stop at the time of the cancellation being the final score. Is uploaded to the host device 90. FIG. 18 shows a singing contest result screen 230 displayed after the performance is finished or stopped. At the end of the performance or when the performance is stopped, the final score of singing stop is displayed as the final score 231 and the score ranking is displayed in the corresponding position 232 in an identifiable manner.

  Note that users other than members may participate in the singing contest. For example, a ranking contest is conducted using a member's information, a scoring contest is conducted, regardless of whether the member is a member or a non-member, the scoring result is sent to the host device, and the host device obtains scoring ranking information based on all scoring results. Or create it. The member scoring results may be stored in the corresponding MY BOX.
