  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3A, when the regional attribute is a ranking attribute, the ranking calculation unit 220 counts the number of other singers associated with the singer A and the acquired scoring information. Is calculated as the national ranking (or overall ranking). Then, the ranking calculation unit 220 extracts, for example, scoring information having the attribute information of the geographical attributes of “Tokyo” and “Minato Ward” from the acquired scoring information, and associates them with the extracted scoring information. The second ranking reflecting the scoring result of the singer A whose number is the number of the other singers and the singer A is calculated.

  FIG. 3A shows the national ranking as the first ranking, the “Tokyo” ranking as the second ranking, and the “Minato Ward” ranking for the singer A who sang the song data “Mandoshite”. The scoring image is shown.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the gender attribute is a ranking attribute, the ranking calculation unit 220 sets the number of other singers associated with the singer A and the acquired scoring information as a mother. The first ranking reflecting the singer A's scoring results is calculated as the overall ranking. Note that the ranking calculation unit 220 differs only in the reference name to be calculated in the first ranking, and basically the calculation result is the same as the national ranking.

  Then, the ranking calculation unit 220 extracts, for example, scoring information having gender attribute information of “male” from the scoring information, and other singers and the singer A associated with the extracted scoring information. The second ranking that reflects the singer A's scoring results is calculated with the number as a parameter. However, when the obtained scoring information does not have gender attribute information, the ranking calculating unit 220 excludes the scoring information and calculates the second ranking.

  FIG. 3 (B) shows a scoring image of the overall ranking as the first ranking and the “male” ranking as the second ranking in the singer A who sang the song data “manly and be”. ing.

  Similarly, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, when the age (age) or occupation attribute is a ranking attribute, the ranking calculation unit 220 is associated with the singer A and the acquired scoring information. The first ranking using the number of other singers as a parameter is calculated as the overall ranking in the same manner as the national ranking.

  Then, the ranking calculation unit 220 extracts, for example, scoring information having attribute information of “30's” or “student” from the scoring information, and sings with other singers associated with the extracted scoring information. The second ranking reflecting the singer A's scoring result is calculated with the number of the person A as a parameter. However, when each acquired scoring information does not have age or occupation attribute information, the second ranking is calculated by excluding the scoring information.

  On the other hand, when the ranking calculation unit 220 calculates the first ranking and the second ranking, the ranking calculation unit 220 interlocks with the display control unit 150 and displays the result on the display unit 140. The display unit 140 first displays the first ranking, and then switches the display to display the second ranking. When a plurality of second rankings are calculated, the ranking calculation unit 220 displays the ranking from the ranking with the largest parameter.

  For example, in the case of FIG. 3A, the ranking calculation unit 220 first displays the national ranking on the display unit 140 as shown in FIG. 2 is displayed on the display unit 140, and finally the second ranking of “Minato-ku” is displayed on the display unit 140.

(B) Attributes relating to singer A including age and gender, or
(C) The attribute of the scored date is used.

  The scored date and time attributes are attributes such as within the last one week and within the most recent month based on the date on which the singer A sang.

  Further, the ranking calculation unit 220 of the present embodiment specifies a range in which the second ranking is calculated according to a predetermined prefecture and city, in the case of a geographical attribute and an address. In the case of an IP address, it is converted into an address in conjunction with a server device (not shown) via the network 20, and the second ranking is calculated based on the converted address.

  Furthermore, the ranking calculation unit 220 of the present embodiment calculates the second ranking based on the ranking attributes set in advance by the singer A, but each attribute of the singer A recorded in the ROM / RAM 181 is calculated. Based on the scoring information, the corresponding scoring information is extracted to calculate the second ranking, and the second ranking having a predetermined condition such as the ranking having the highest ranking is displayed together with the first ranking. You may display on the part 140. FIG.

  In this case, since the ranking of the best result can be provided to the singer A, it is possible to provide the singer A with a new interest in karaoke and to improve his willingness and satisfaction. Can be increased.

  Furthermore, although the ranking calculation unit 220 of the present embodiment calculates the second ranking based on the ranking attribute set by the singer A, the type of the set ranking attribute is changed by the singer A, A second ranking based on the type of the changed ranking attribute is calculated and displayed together with the second ranking based on the ranking attribute set by the singer A, which is changed randomly or based on a predetermined condition. May be.

  For example, in the case of FIG. 3 (A), when it is randomly changed to “Osaka Prefecture”, the second ranking is displayed on the display unit 140 as shown in FIG. If it is set to change to a ranking attribute type that will be ranked up as a prescribed condition, change the attribute type of the same level (for example, other prefectures in the case of Tokyo) The second ranking is calculated. For example, when the ranking increases in “Okinawa Prefecture”, the second ranking may be displayed on the display unit 140 as shown in FIG.
