Description

  The present invention relates to a karaoke system for recording and supplying the voice of a user who has sung along with the performance of a predetermined karaoke song.

In recent years, as a way of enjoying karaoke, there is a way of enjoying recording voices of users who sing along with the performance of karaoke music.
In order to perform such a service, a recording device and a data conversion device for providing the recording data to the user are required. For example, recording data of the voice played by the synthesizer and the voice of the singing user is stored and supplied in the MP3 format or the PCM data format.

  Heretofore, as well known in the karaoke technology, a singing ability scoring function of the user is accompanied by the karaoke performance. It is known that this scoring function compares the singing voice input from the microphone with the main melody of karaoke accompaniment music, and scores according to the difference in the pitch and the pronunciation timing.

  Heretofore, various techniques have been conceived with regard to a karaoke system to which such a scoring means is attached. For example, in Patent Document 1, by the karaoke performance terminal acquiring a user ID for identifying the user, it is recognized who performed what and who sent it to the karaoke host apparatus, the result of the scoring, and the host The device discloses a technique for creating a graded ranking every predetermined period such as monthly or yearly based on the graded result. Moreover, in patent document 2, the user designates the appropriate area | region in the music performance process of a music, and the technique which carries out the display display of the scoring result in this designated area is disclosed.

  Further, in Patent Document 3, the karaoke user registers the reference score value in advance in the karaoke host device, and the user ID is recognized in any karaoke performance terminal connected to the karaoke host device via a network. If the user sings a predetermined karaoke piece in normal karaoke use without following a special process, the karaoke singer will record the voice as an arbitrary voice if the scoring result exceeds the standard scoring value. It has been disclosed that a writing device can write data on a portable recording medium.

  In addition, when the present application drives the recording function in this way, it prohibits the operation halfway, and the operability of the normal mode that is not so is always operated during the karaoke performance, pause button, fast forward, rewind etc. I wanted to design it so that I could do it.

  When enjoying karaoke performance, recording and enjoyment are increasing steadily, and when playing in the recording mode, while playing karaoke like this, prohibit the operation during the pause button, fast forward, rewind, etc., and record Although I want to concentrate on the subject, I often feel tense and often can not record a good recording. On the other hand, if you enjoy karaoke by relaxing in the normal mode without selecting the recording mode, there are times when you can sing better than expected, and that everyone thinks, "I wish I had recorded the current karaoke performance." Many karaoke lovers are experiencing that. The present invention separates the recording mode and the normal mode in these karaoke apparatuses, and while providing the karaoke apparatus emphasizing operability, the karaoke system capable of recording under predetermined conditions even in the normal mode not specifying the recording. It is intended.

In view of the above problems, the karaoke system according to the present invention is

The control unit controls the user's selection to start recording regardless of the recording mode or the normal mode,
In recording mode, control is performed to prohibit midway operation such as pause button, fast forward, rewind, etc. during karaoke performance,
In the normal mode, if there is an operation during the karaoke performance, control so as not to record,
If the recording mode or the normal mode is not operated in the middle, the recorded recording data is maintained, the output instruction can be accepted, and the user is notified that the recording data is maintained in the normal mode. It is characterized by

  In the second aspect of the invention, the control unit can select whether or not to maintain the recorded data recorded at the end of the music.

  Furthermore, in claim 3, the control unit is configured to maintain the recording data when the preset condition is satisfied.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the karaoke system has a scoring means in singing, and the condition is a scoring result of a range set in advance in the vocal scoring of the scoring means.

  According to the fifth aspect of the invention, the output enabling acceptance of the instruction is reproduction of the recorded data recorded by the recording means.

  According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the output enabling reception of the instruction is configured to save the recording data recorded by the recording means.

  According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, the control section is configured to output when a preset condition is satisfied.

  The eighth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the karaoke system has a scoring means in singing, and as a condition, the result is a scoring result of a preset range in the singing score of the scoring means.

  In claim 9, the control unit enables output of the recording data during the session specifying the usage unit, and performs control to erase the recording data at the end of the session.

  11. The control unit according to claim 10, upon receiving an instruction at the end of the session specifying the usage unit, receives the necessity of the output of the maintained audio recording data and, when the output is required, the audio data after output. And control to end the session.

  In the present invention, even in the normal mode which is not particularly the recording mode, control is performed so as to always perform recording during karaoke performance, and if there is an operation halfway through the karaoke performance, the operation is enabled to enable recording operation. As there is no operation and there is no operation on the way during karaoke performance, recording artifacts are temporarily stored and it is possible to decide whether or not to output the recording artifacts, so the operability in the normal mode is impaired. The trouble is eliminated. Then, when there is no operation on the way, the processing of the recording product can be decided at the end of the singing when the singing which is convincing can be performed, so that the karaoke performance can be enjoyed more.

Conceptual explanatory drawing of the karaoke system of this invention. Flow explanatory drawing of the karaoke system of this invention.

  The karaoke system of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. First, as shown in FIG. 1, the karaoke apparatus 1 as the karaoke system of the present invention is periodically downloaded from the content server 2 such as a karaoke song and a karaoke background image, and the content is accumulated or downloaded from the content server 2 each time, It is possible to enjoy karaoke performance.

The karaoke apparatus 1 configured as the karaoke system according to the present invention includes the karaoke recording means 5 for storing voices consisting of accompaniment and singing by the karaoke performance means 3 and the control unit 4 for monitoring and controlling the karaoke performance operation. In a karaoke system that allows you to select a recording mode that specifies recording and a normal mode that does not specify recording,
The control unit 4 controls the user's selection to start recording regardless of the recording mode or the normal mode,
In recording mode, control is performed to prohibit midway operation such as pause button, fast forward, rewind, etc. during karaoke performance,
In the normal mode, if there is an operation during the karaoke performance, control is made so as not to record.
When no operation is performed in the recording mode or the normal mode, the recorded data recorded is maintained, and the output instruction can be accepted.

And the output means 8 which reproduces | regenerates the performance and recorded sound recording data, and outputs it to an external server as an upload etc. is provided. In addition, the karaoke apparatus 1 is also provided with a scoring means 9 for scoring the singing of the singer. The karaoke recording means 5 constantly records karaoke performance during karaoke performance, and is provided with a storage unit 6 for temporarily storing the recording.
For recording, there are a method of mixing and recording karaoke performance and the voice of a singer and a method of recording separately on recording tracks, but it may be selected arbitrarily.

  In the recording mode, the control unit 4 controls to perform recording at the time of karaoke performance, and prohibits midway operations such as pause button, fast-forwarding, rewinding during karaoke performance. Then, at the end of the performance, it is controlled to be able to output the temporarily stored recording product.

  On the other hand, in the normal mode, when performing karaoke, control is performed so as to always record, and when there is an operation during the karaoke performance, while abandoning the recording product and when there is no operation during the karaoke performance The recording product is temporarily stored in the storage unit 6 and controlled so that it can be determined later whether to output the recording product.

In addition, the karaoke apparatus 1 has the scoring means 9, and in the above-mentioned normal mode, the control unit 4 is not operated halfway during the karaoke performance, and further exceeds the set score in the singing score. Are configured to be temporarily stored as recording artifacts and controlled to be determined whether to output the recording artifacts.
Specifically, in the normal mode, the scoring result when the singing is finished and the function of the scoring means 9 is enabled is displayed, and when it is more than a certain score, the singer is It is sufficient to give an output instruction. Alternatively, as another embodiment, it can be automatically abandoned or automatically uploaded to the server.

  The karaoke apparatus 1 configured in this way can decide whether to use the recording mode or the normal mode when performing a karaoke performance, and will be described from the case of singing in the recording mode first. The remote control sets the recording mode to start karaoke performance (step 21). During the karaoke performance, the karaoke apparatus 1 prohibits operations on the way such as a pause button, fast-forwarding, rewinding (step 22), and the karaoke performance and recording function is activated (step 23). The karaoke performance is ended, and the recording data, which is a recording product, is stored in the storage unit 6. The recording product is reproduced by the karaoke apparatus 1 or uploaded to the content server 2 for storage. In addition, the recording data stored in the content server 2 can be downloaded to a portable terminal or a personal computer owned by the user.

  In the case of the normal mode in which the karaoke performance is not the recording mode, from step 21, the recording function is activated when the karaoke performance is started in step 25. At this time, the control unit 4 in the karaoke apparatus is in a state not to prohibit midway operations such as a pause button, fast forward, rewind, etc. during karaoke performance. When the karaoke performance is finished, if there is an operation during operation such as pause button, fast-forwarding or rewinding during the karaoke performance in step 26, the data of the recording part 6 is abandoned in step 27, and the storage is stored The recording data of section 6 is reset.

  If there is no halfway button operation such as a pause button, fast-forwarding, rewinding, etc. during the karaoke performance in step 26, then in step 28, the recording data which is a recording product is stored in the storage unit 6. Thereafter, the recording product is reproduced by the karaoke apparatus 1 in the same manner as in step 24, or the karaoke apparatus 1 uses the WiFi (registered trademark) function or the content server 2 via a portable terminal or personal computer owned by the user. It is downloaded by When there is no output instruction of the recording product, the recording product temporarily stored at a predetermined timing is deleted from the karaoke apparatus 1.

  Also, in the recording mode or the normal mode, when there is no operation during the karaoke performance and the score is lower than the preset score in the singing score, the recording result is automatically abandoned (that is, deleted). It is a good thing to do. If the set score is exceeded in the singing score, the recording material is temporarily stored, and a recording instruction can be accepted, or an upload or the like can be automatically output to the server device.

As an example
At the end of the performance (at the time of step 28), the karaoke user is indicated whether it has been recorded, such as whether to play the recorded data or upload it to the content server 2, or a message or the like is displayed. You may.

  Alternatively, as another embodiment, it is determined that the venue has been boosted by receiving an input signal of which the input sound from the microphone is higher than the preset score or the input sound from the microphone is higher than the preset score. It may be possible to prompt the output instruction of the recording data when it has been done.

  In the present invention, recording data recorded by the recording means can be output particularly during the session specifying the unit of use, and the recording data is controlled to be erased after the session ends. It is also possible to prompt the output instruction of the recording data before the end of the reserved time for use, such as a karaoke room.

  In addition, when the user performs an operation to end the session (for example, pressing a reset button provided on the karaoke apparatus 1), the control unit of the karaoke apparatus 1 outputs the sound recording data to the user during the session. An instruction (reproduction or uploading to the content server 2) may be accepted.

  As described above, according to the present invention, although recording is always performed in the normal mode, since operability is emphasized, in the normal mode, midway operations such as a pause button, fast-forwarding, rewinding, etc. are performed during karaoke performance. While being in a state where it is not prohibited, you can enjoy the karaoke performance without a sense of incongruity, and when you feel like you want to record unexpectedly when you are able to sing perfectly without any operation during the karaoke performance playback Because it can be easily used, such as uploading to a content server, it is possible to provide a more enjoyable karaoke device.
