However, in both Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, advertisement information with a display period and music related information such as artist information are attached to the music, and the user selects the attached music within the display period as appropriate. The music related information is displayed on the screen. However, in Patent Document 1, since music related information is automatically displayed to a user every time a predetermined music is selected, there is no need for the user, but there is freshness at the beginning and it is effective. Music related information can be provided to the user, but as the number of times of display increases, the user feels dissatisfied with viewing the same music related information every time. On the other hand, in Patent Document 2, although it is possible to view the music related information as many times as necessary within the display period as specified by the user, it is necessary to instruct display by manual operation every time. There is an inconvenience that it takes time and effort to the user.

Therefore, in the present invention, in view of the above-described conventional inconveniences, music related information can be provided every time a predetermined music is selected without any effort on the user, and each user can be effective within the display period. The objective is to build a system that can provide music-related information with a certain number of viewing times.

  In view of the above problems, the music related information display system according to claim 1 of the present invention is a music related information that is attached to a karaoke music and has a predetermined display period, and a preset individual within the display period. It has a music related information management table that records the number of times of display of a unit, and is a system that displays music related information when a user selects a music, that is, obtains and uses a user ID When a specified user selects a song, the user ID is linked to the song ID of the karaoke song and the selected song is reserved and registered, and the related information within the display period is included in the selected song. It is determined whether or not it is attached, and if it is determined that related information within the display period is attached, refer to the viewing count management table for each user that records the number of times the music related information of each user is viewed, Identified The number of viewings within the user's display period is acquired and recorded in the music-related information management table, which is recorded in a predetermined individual unit number of times for the selected music, and in the viewing count management table for each user. When the number of viewing times is less than a predetermined number of individual display times, it is determined that the music related information is displayed, and the music related information is displayed on a predetermined display means. Later, the above problem is solved by adding “1” to the number of viewing times of the user recorded in the viewing count management table for each user.

  According to the music related information display system according to claim 1 of the present invention, the music related information attached to the music is recorded in advance by recording the display period and the number of times of viewing in individual units, and the music related information is attached. When a user selects and reserves a song within the display period, the recorded number of individual views is compared with the number of views of the user who has selected and registered a song, and displays song-related information. Whether or not to display based on the comparison result, comparing the display number of individual units with the number of viewing times for each user, rather than determining only based on the conventional display period. By determining this, each user can view the music related information with a certain number of viewing times. Therefore, during the display period, more than the predetermined number of times of display is not displayed, and anyone can watch as long as it is within the predetermined number of times of viewing, and music related information according to the user's music selection status Display bias is eliminated. In other words, music related information can be provided each time a predetermined music is selected without any effort on the user, and each user can provide music related information with an effective number of views within the display period.
