Description

この発明は、カラオケ選曲装置の娯楽性を向上させるための技術改良に関し、特に、カラオケ利用客が選曲し演奏予約した曲の履歴情報を提示する機能を備えたカラオケ選曲装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a technical improvement for improving the amusement of a karaoke song selection apparatus, and more particularly to a karaoke song selection apparatus having a function of presenting history information of songs that a karaoke user has selected and reserved for performance.

周知のように、カラオケ店では分厚いカラオケ目次本のかわりに、タブレットタイプのコンピュータで構成された電子目次本(カラオケ選曲装置)が普及している。DAMステーション、デンモク、キョクNAVI、ナビカラなどの商品名で知られている。このようなカラオケ選曲装置は、タブレットコンピュータのもつ高い演算能力や記憶能力・通信能力を利用することにより、個人の好みの曲をあらかじめ記憶させておいたり、多様な切り口でカラオケ楽曲を検索させて選曲したりすることが可能である。   As is well known, instead of a thick karaoke table of contents, an electronic table of contents (a karaoke music selection device) composed of a tablet-type computer is popular in karaoke stores. It is known by trade names such as DAM Station, Denmoku, Kyoku NAVI, and Navikara. Such a karaoke music selection device uses the high computing ability, memory ability, and communication ability of a tablet computer to store personal favorite songs in advance or to search for karaoke songs from various perspectives. It is possible to select songs.

たとえば、特許第3573420号公報には、アーティストのアルバム名やジャケット写真をつかって目的の曲を検索する機能について開示されている。
また、特許第3595292号公報には、利用者別の記憶領域に好みの楽曲を登録しておいたり、読み出して選曲に利用したりできる機能が開示されている。
また、特許第3645211号公報には、利用者の年齢や年代に基づいて、利用者の記憶に残る年代の流行曲を検索できる、いわゆる「あの頃検索」機能が開示されている。
For example, Japanese Patent No. 3573420 discloses a function of searching for a target song using an artist's album name and jacket photo.
Japanese Patent No. 3595292 discloses a function that allows favorite music to be registered in a storage area for each user, or to be read and used for music selection.
Japanese Patent No. 3645211 discloses a so-called “searching at that time” function that can search for popular songs of the age that remain in the user's memory based on the age and age of the user.

また、カラオケ演奏端末もパソコン応用機器であり、

The karaoke performance terminal is also a computer application device,
Japanese Patent No. 3573420 Japanese Patent No. 3595292 Japanese Patent No. 3645211

上記のようなさまざまな選曲操作は、あれこれ思いもよらない曲が見つかったりすることもあり、それだけでカラオケの楽しみの一つにもなっている。反面、たまたま見つけた曲については、同じ操作を再現することは面倒であったり難しかったり、曲名やアーティスト名はうろ覚えであることも少なくはなく、同じ曲を再度選曲するのは意外に面倒である。   Various music selection operations such as those mentioned above can lead to unexpected tunes, and that alone is one of the pleasures of karaoke. On the other hand, for songs that happen to be found, it is difficult or difficult to reproduce the same operation, and the names of the songs and artists are often memorized, and it is unexpectedly troublesome to select the same song again. .

そこで、利用者がさまざまに検索して選曲した履歴を一目で確認できると便利だと本発明者は考えた。利用者が選曲して演奏予約した楽曲は、一般に、予約曲リストで確認できるし、演奏済みの曲は演奏履歴として確認することができる。しかし選曲履歴であれば、その中には当然に、予約中の曲だけでなく演奏済みの曲も含まれる。そのため、予約中の曲も演奏済みの曲も区別せずに、曲名やアーティスト名などを簡単に確認できる。また、選曲操作に夢中になっている間に演奏された曲を聞き逃した場合などに、予約リストに載っていないから重複していないと勘違いして同じ曲を間違って予約してしまうようなことが避けられる。逆に、先に選曲して予約した曲をもう一度確認したい場合に、演奏済みか予約中かを区別して見るリストを変えることなく、しかも面倒な選曲操作をもう一度最初からしなくても、簡単に確認することができる。   Therefore, the present inventor thought that it would be convenient to be able to confirm at a glance the history of the user's various searches and selections. The music selected by the user and reserved for performance can generally be confirmed in the reserved music list, and the music that has been performed can be confirmed as the performance history. However, in the music selection history, naturally, not only reserved music but also played music are included. For this reason, it is possible to easily confirm the name of a song or the name of an artist without distinguishing between a reserved song and a song that has already been played. Also, if you miss a song that was played while you were addicted to the song selection operation, you would mistakenly reserve the same song by mistakenly because it was not duplicated because it was not on the reservation list. Can be avoided. On the other hand, if you want to check again the songs that you have selected and reserved earlier, you can easily change the list to see whether it is already played or reserved, and without having to perform troublesome song selection operations from the beginning again. Can be confirmed.

ところで、カラオケ店では、利用者の歌唱力をその場で採点して提示する周知の歌唱採点ゲームが人気を博している。カラオケネットワークを利用した全国ランキングを簡単に確認できる点も、自信の歌唱レベルを把握しやすく、人気の要因の一つになっている(たとえば、特開2005−99288号公報参照)。   By the way, in a karaoke shop, a well-known singing scoring game that scores and presents a user's singing ability on the spot is gaining popularity. The fact that the nationwide ranking using the karaoke network can be easily confirmed is also one of the popular factors because it is easy to grasp the singing level of confidence (see, for example, JP-A-2005-99288).

そこで、選曲履歴の楽曲について、いろいろな人の採点情報も表示されると、歌唱採点ゲームに挑戦する意欲をかき立てたりして、選曲の楽しみがさらに増すだろう。本発明は、そのようなことを考えながら創作したものである。   Therefore, if the grading information of various people is displayed on the music in the music selection history, it will further increase the enjoyment of music selection by inspiring the singing scoring game. The present invention was created with such considerations in mind.
