  Here, FIG. 2 shows an explanatory diagram of music reservation and music reservation management by the remote input / output terminal of FIG. FIG. 2A is an explanatory diagram in the case where reserved music is selected by the remote input / output terminal, and FIG. 2B is an explanatory diagram of a state in which the reservation management means registers as a reservation queue in accordance with the music selection. In FIG. 2 (A), the remote input / output terminal 18 is provided with a music search means 19, so that when the corresponding music information is displayed on the remote input / output terminal 18, the recording designation button 18A sings. The recording mode is designated as the video shooting presence / absence information. For example, the recording mode in which shooting is not performed in the default state is “off”, and the user makes a reservation by transferring the recording mode “on” by operating the recording designation button 18A.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 2 (B), the reservation management means 25 registers in the reserved memory area on the RAM 24 in the reservation queue column in order. That is, in each column of the reservation queue, a music selection number, a music title, and a recording flag (for example, “0” is a non-recording flag and “1” is a recording flag) are added and registered as shooting mode information. It is what is done. In the case of video recording, reserved recording is performed by adding “1” to the recording flag.

  FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of video recording by the singer video recording karaoke system of FIG. In FIG. 3, first, when a user requests a music reservation (step (S) 1), in the reservation management means 25, in addition to the music selection number and music name reservation information, a recording request (recording mode is on or off). Whether there is information) is determined (S2). When the recording mode is “off”, the music selection number, the music title, and the information of the recording flag “0” are appended and recorded in the reservation queue in the reserved memory area of the RAM 24 (S3). On the other hand, when the recording mode is “ON”, the information of the music selection number, the music title, and the recording flag “1” is appended and recorded in the reservation queue in the reserved memory area of the RAM 24 (S4).

  Then, when the reservation management means 25 starts playing in the order of the reservation queue and reproduces the background video (S5), if the attached recording flag is “1”, the video recording control unit 33. Operates the video camera 14, acquires video data from the video camera 14, and stores it in the recorded data storage unit 34 in synchronization with the singing voice data and performance data acquired from the mixing system 15 (S7). On the other hand, when the attached recording flag is “0”, the video camera 14 is not operated and the performance is started, and the background image is displayed on the display unit 13. When the performance is finished (S8), the video camera 14 is stopped (S9).

  As described above, since the shooting information indicating whether or not to record video is specified for the reserved music, it is possible to perform reserved video recording that automatically records video from the start to the end of the performance for all the music. It can be done. In addition, when the video image | photographed with the video camera 14 is memorize | stored in the recording data memory | storage part 34, you may display on the display part 13 simultaneously. The same applies to the following embodiments.

  Next, FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of another video recording in the video recording of the first embodiment. In the above embodiment, the case where the video recording is designated when the music is reserved is shown. Here, the video recording is designated after the music is reserved. That is, in FIG. 4, for example, when a request for changing a reserved music (recording mode) from a predetermined user is input from the remote input / output terminal 18 (S11), the reservation manager 25 waits for a reservation stored in the reserved memory area. The display file creation means 26 creates a display file for displaying all the reserved music columns in the matrix, and sends the display file to be displayed on one or both of the display unit 13 and the remote input / output terminal 18. Are displayed (S12).

  When a column of a predetermined reserved music in the reservation queue displayed is selected and a change of a recording flag attached thereto is inputted (S13), the reservation management means 25 sets the corresponding music in the reservation queue in the reserved memory area. Rewriting is performed by changing the attached recording flag (S14). Here, the change of the recording flag means that the recording flag “0” which is not initially recorded is set to the recording flag “1” which is recorded, and the recording flag “1” which is initially recorded is recorded. This is a case where the recording flag “0” is not set.

  In this way, in addition, since it is possible to change whether or not video recording is performed even after a predetermined music has already been reserved, it is wasted by canceling video recording that is no longer necessary. In addition to being able to prevent shooting, it is possible to make a reservation for a video recording desired later, which can be used for the convenience of the user.

  Next, FIG. 5 shows a block diagram of a main part of the second embodiment in the singer video recording karaoke system according to the present invention. This embodiment is a case where the user (song selector) is specified after the music reservation and the recording mode is changed, and there are at least two forms. First, it is a case where the user is not allowed to specify whether or not video recording is to be performed at the time of music reservation, and is to be specified only when video recording is to be performed after the reservation, and secondly, video recording is to be performed at the time of music reservation. This is a case in which the user designates whether or not to perform the recording and changes the recording mode after the reservation. Here, the latter (second) case will be described.

  5, the configuration of the singer video recording karaoke system 11 shown in FIG. 1 is further provided with an ID reading unit 41, user ID registration means 42, and user-specific shooting designation means 43. The user has an ID medium 44 in which at least the user ID is stored.

It is a reader to memorize.

  The user ID registration means 42, when a predetermined user among the logged-in users selects a reserved music by the user ID, the reservation management means 25 reserves the user ID along with the music selection information. This program is registered in the memory area reservation queue, and is expanded in the RAM 24. The user-specific shooting designation unit 43 extracts a column of the user ID from the reservation queue managed by the reservation management unit 25 in response to a request based on the user ID, and displays either the display unit 13 or the remote input / output terminal 18. The program is displayed on one or both of them, and allows the user to designate or change the shooting at the time of singing for a desired column of the reservation queue, and is developed in the RAM 24.

  Here, FIG. 6 shows an explanatory diagram of music reservation management in the case of FIG. FIG. 6A is an explanatory diagram of a state in which the reservation management unit associates and registers a user ID as a reservation queue according to the music selection, and FIG. 6B shows a reservation based on the user ID by the user-specific shooting designation unit. It is explanatory drawing which showed the extraction state of the column of a queue. In FIG. 6A, the user is made to reserve a predetermined song based on the user ID, and the column of the reservation queue on the reserved memory area in the RAM 24 includes the song selection number, song name, The user ID of the reserved user and a recording flag as shooting presence / absence information in the recording mode are added and registered.

  Then, when a change of the reserved music (recording mode) is requested based on a user ID (for example, “****** A”) from a predetermined user, it is shown in FIG. As described above, the column for only the user ID is extracted from the reservation queue by the user-specific shooting designation means 43. The extracted column of the reservation queue of the user ID is displayed on either or both of the display unit 13 and the remote input / output terminal 18 as described above.
