Description

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

In recent years, as a way to enjoy karaoke, there is a way to enjoy recording and recording the voice of the user who has sung along with the performance of the karaoke music.
In order to perform such a service, a recording / recording apparatus and a data conversion apparatus for providing the recording / recording data to the user are required. For example, recording and recording data of the voice played by the synthesizer and the voice of the singing user are 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.

The recording / recording data is erased and control is made 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 when there is an operation halfway through 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 according to the present invention is periodically downloaded from the content server 2 such as karaoke music and karaoke background images, and the content is accumulated or downloaded from the content server 2 each time , Karaoke performance can be enjoyed.

The karaoke apparatus 1 configured as the karaoke system of the present invention monitors and controls a recording and recording means 5 for storing an audio consisting of accompaniment and singing performed by the karaoke performance means 3 and a video during singing, and a karaoke performance operation. In a karaoke system having a control unit 4 and capable of selecting a recording mode in which the user designates recording and a normal mode in which the user does not designate recording,
The control unit 6 controls recording to start when the user's selection is in the recording mode, and to start recording in the normal mode,
In the 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 sound or the recorded recording / recording data is maintained and the output instruction can be accepted.

And the output means 8 which reproduces | regenerates the performance of recording and recording, or the recorded recording / recorded data, and outputs it to an external server as an upload etc. is provided. Further, the karaoke apparatus 1 is also provided with a scoring means 9 for scoring the singing of the singer. The karaoke recording and recording means 5 constantly records and records karaoke performance during karaoke performance, and is provided with a storage unit 6 for temporarily storing the recording and recording.
Recording and recording can be performed by mixing a karaoke performance and the voice of a singer and recording and recording, and a method of recording and recording separately on a recording and recording track, but it may be arbitrarily selected.

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 video 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 recordings, and to be controlled so as to determine whether to output the recordings.
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 records, records It is sufficient to instruct data output. 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 the karaoke performance, and the case of singing in the recording mode will be described first. In the mode selection (step 21) by the remote controller, the recording mode karaoke performance is started. At that time, the karaoke apparatus 1 prohibits operations during the karaoke performance such as a pause button, fast-forwarding, rewinding and the like (step 22), and the karaoke performance and recording function are activated (step 23). The karaoke performance is finished, and the recording data, which is a recording product, is stored in the storage unit 6 (step 24). 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.

  When the karaoke performance is in the normal mode, the recording function is activated from step 21 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 the karaoke performance at step 26, such as pause button, fast-forwarding, rewinding, etc., at step 27, the recording result is the data of the storage unit 6 is abandoned and the storage unit The recording data of 6 is reset.

  If there is no halfway button operation such as pause button, fast-forwarding, rewinding, etc. during karaoke performance in step 26, the recording / recording data which is the recording / recording product is accumulated in the storage unit 6 in step. After that, as in step 24, the recording / recording product is reproduced by the karaoke apparatus 1, or the portable terminal or personal computer owned by the user, by the appropriate network function from the karaoke apparatus 1, or via the content server 2 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.

  In addition, in the normal mode, when there is no operation during the karaoke performance and the score is lower than the preset score in the song scoring, the recording material is automatically abandoned (i.e., deleted). Is also good. When the set score is exceeded in the singing score, the recording material is temporarily stored, a recording instruction can be accepted, and an upload or the like can be automatically output to the server device.

  As an example, in the normal mode, when there is no operation during the karaoke performance, recording is made to the karaoke user at the end of the performance (at the time of step 28), whether the recorded data is reproduced or uploaded to the content server 2, etc. It may be possible to output a voice or a display or a message that indicates that the user has made a message or prompt the user to use it.

  Alternatively, as another example, in the normal mode, when there is no operation during the karaoke performance, a preset condition, for example, a result scored by the scoring function is more than a preset score, or a microphone When it is determined that the input sound from the input signal above the setting is received and the venue is excited, an instruction to output the recording data may be prompted.

  In the present invention, recording and recording data recorded by the recording and recording means can be output during the session for specifying the unit of use, and the recording and recording data can be erased after the session ends. Since the system is controlled, it may be possible to prompt the output instruction of the recording / recording data before the end of the use reservation time in the karaoke room or the like.

In addition, when the user performs an operation to end the session (for example, by pressing the reset button provided on the karaoke apparatus 1), the control unit of the karaoke apparatus 1 records, during the session, to the user.
It is also possible to receive an output instruction (reproduction or uploading to the content server 2) in which the recording data is maintained.

  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.
