When performing karaoke singing or using various modes, the user of the karaoke device K selects a musical piece or a mode via the remote control device. The remote control device K transmits the specific information of the selected music or mode to the karaoke main body 10 together with its own identifier. The reservation processing unit 100 registers the received specific information in the reservation queue in association with the identifier of the remote controller device. In this embodiment, the identifier of the remote controller functions as the identifier of the group. For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the identifier IR1 of the remote control device R1 functions as an identifier of the group A.

Here, it is assumed that the user U1 belonging to the group A selects the start of the song battle mode M1 via the remote control device R1. The remote control device R1 transmits the specific information IM1s corresponding to the start of the song battle to the karaoke device K together with its own identifier IR1. The reservation processing unit 100 registers the specific information IM1s in the reservation queue in association with the identifier IR1.

After that, it is assumed that the user U1 belonging to the group A selects the music X1 via the remote controller R1. The remote control device R1 transmits the specific information IX1 corresponding to the music X1 to the karaoke device K together with its own identifier IR1. The reservation processing unit 100 registers the specific information IX1 in the reservation queue in association with the identifier IR1.

On the other hand, it is assumed that after the song battle mode M1 is set for the group A (details will be described later), the user U1 belonging to the group A selects the end of the song battle mode M1 via the remote controller R1. The remote control device R1 transmits the specific information IM1e corresponding to the end of the song battle to the karaoke device K together with its own identifier IR1. The reservation processing unit 100 registers the specific information IM1e in the reservation queue in association with the identifier IR1.

Alternatively, the reservation processing unit 100 corresponds to a song for performing karaoke singing, or when one mode is selected by a user belonging to another group different from one group, the selected song or mode. The specific information is registered in the reservation queue in association with the group identifier of the group to which the user belongs.

Here, the mode selected by the other group is the same as or different from the mode selected by one group. For example, in the example of FIG. 1, when the group A selects the song battle mode M1, the group B and the group C can also select the same song battle mode M1 or different modes (for example, singing scoring). It is also possible to select the mode M2).

Specifically, it is assumed that the user U4 belonging to the group B selects the start of the singing scoring mode M2 via the remote control device R2. The remote control device R2 transmits the specific information IM2s corresponding to the start of singing scoring to the karaoke device K together with its own identifier IR2. The reservation processing unit 100 registers the specific information IM2s in the reservation queue in association with the identifier IR2.

The remote control device R2 transmits the specific information IM2e corresponding to the end of the singing score to the karaoke device K together with its own identifier IR2. The reservation processing unit 100 registers the specific information IM2e in the reservation queue in association with the identifier IR2.

It is also possible to select only the music without selecting the mode. For example, it is assumed that the song battle mode M1 is set for the group A and the singing scoring mode M2 is set for the group B. In this case, it is assumed that the user U8 belonging to the group C selects the music X3 via the remote control device R3. The remote control device R3 transmits the specific information IX3 corresponding to the music X3 to the karaoke device K together with its own identifier IR3. The reservation processing unit 100 registers the specific information IX3 in the reservation queue in association with the identifier IR3.

(Mode setting section)
The mode setting unit 200 performs different processing depending on whether the specific information registered in the reservation queue corresponds to the mode and the specific information registered in the reservation queue corresponds to the music.

<When specific information corresponds to the mode>
When the specific information registered in the reservation queue corresponds to the mode, the mode setting unit 200 sets the mode. Setting the mode includes starting or ending the mode.

The mode setting unit 200 starts the mode when the specific information registered in the reservation queue by the users belonging to one group corresponds to the start of the mode. On the other hand, the mode setting unit 200 terminates the mode when the specific information registered in the reservation queue by the users belonging to one group corresponds to the termination of the mode.

For example, when a combination of the specific information IM1s and the identifier IR1 is registered in the reservation queue, the mode setting unit 200 specifies the mode M1 of the song battle based on the specific information IM1s, and associates the mode list with the identifier IR1. Create (see Figure 4A).

Then, the mode setting unit 200 starts the song battle mode M1 based on the specific information IM1s. In this case, for example, the display device 30 displays an opening image indicating that the song battle mode has started. After starting the song battle mode M1, the mode setting unit 200 deletes the combination of the specific information IM1s and the identifier IR1 registered in the reservation queue.

On the other hand, when the combination of the specific information IM1e and the identifier IR1 is registered in the reservation queue, the mode setting unit 200 specifies the mode M1 and the identifier IR1 of the song battle based on the specific information IM1e and the identifier IR1, and the mode list. Remove from.

Then, the mode setting unit 200 ends the song battle mode M1 based on the specific information IM1e. In this case, for example, the display device 30 displays an ending image indicating that the song battle mode has ended. After ending the song battle mode M1, the mode setting unit 200 deletes the combination of the specific information IM1e and the identifier IR1 registered in the reservation queue.

Further, the mode setting unit 200 sets the mode when the specific information registered in the reservation queue by the user belonging to another group different from one group corresponds to the start of the mode. Setting the mode includes starting or ending the mode.

For example, when the combination of the specific information IM2s and the identifier IR2 is registered in the reservation queue after the song battle mode M1 is set for the group A, the mode setting unit 200 scores the song based on the specific information IM2s. The mode M2 of the above is specified, and the mode list is updated in association with the identifier IR2 (see FIG. 4B).

Then, the mode setting unit 200 starts the singing scoring mode M2 based on the specific information IM2s. In this case, for example, the display device 30 displays an opening image indicating that the singing scoring mode has started. After starting the singing scoring mode M2, the mode setting unit 200 deletes the combination of the specific information IM2s and the identifier IR2 registered in the reservation queue.

On the other hand, when the combination of the specific information IM2e and the identifier IR2 is registered in the reservation queue, the mode setting unit 200 identifies the singing scoring mode M2 and the identifier IR2 based on the specific information IM2e and the identifier IR2, and identifies the mode list. Remove from.

Then, the mode setting unit 200 ends the singing scoring mode M2 based on the specific information IM2e. In this case, for example, the display device 30 displays an ending image indicating that the singing scoring mode has ended. After finishing the singing scoring mode M2, the mode setting unit 200 deletes the combination of the specific information IM2e and the identifier IR2 registered in the reservation queue.

<When specific information corresponds to a song>
A mode is set that corresponds to a song with specific information registered in the reservation queue by a user belonging to one group, and is associated with the group identifier of the group to which the user who selected the song belongs. If so, the mode setting unit 200 selects the set mode.

For example, assume that the mode list shown in FIG. 4B exists. That is, it is assumed that the karaoke device K is executing the song battle mode M1 and the singing scoring mode M2.

Here, it is assumed that the user U1 belonging to the group A selects the music X1 via the remote control device R1. In this case, the combination of the specific information IX1 and the identifier IR1 is registered in the reservation queue.

Whether or not the mode setting unit 200 is set to the mode associated with the group identifier of the group A to which the user U1 who has selected the music X1 corresponding to the specific information IX1 belongs (in this example, the identifier IR1 of the remote controller R1). To judge.

According to FIG. 4B, the mode M1 of the song battle is associated with the identifier IR1. Further, as described above, the song battle mode M1 selected in the group A is being executed (that is, the song battle mode M1 is set).

Therefore, the mode setting unit 200 selects the song battle mode M1 for the music X1. The mode setting unit 200 outputs the information of the selected mode to the performance processing unit 300.

On the other hand, it is assumed that the user U3 belonging to the group A selects the music Y1 via the remote control device R1 after the mode M1 of the song battle selected in the group A ends. In this case, the combination of the specific information IY1 and the identifier IR1 corresponding to the music Y1 is registered in the reservation queue.

The mode setting unit 200 determines whether or not the mode associated with the group identifier of the group A to which the user U3 who has selected the music Y1 corresponding to the specific information IY1 belongs is set.

As described above, since the song battle mode M1 selected in the group A has ended, there is no mode associated with the identifier IR1 in the mode list.

In this case, the mode setting unit 200 selects the standard mode (that is, the performance mode Md) preset in the karaoke device K for the music Y1. The mode setting unit 200 outputs the information of the selected mode to the performance processing unit 300.

Alternatively, when the specific information registered in the reservation queue by a user belonging to another group different from one group corresponds to a certain music, the group identifier of the group to which the user who selected the certain music belongs. When the mode associated with is set, the mode setting unit 200 selects the set mode.

For example, assume that the mode list shown in FIG. 4B exists. That is, it is assumed that the karaoke device K is executing the song battle mode M1 and the singing scoring mode M2. Then, it is assumed that the mode setting unit 200 selects the song battle mode M1 for the music X1 and outputs it to the performance processing unit 300. In this case, the performance processing unit 300 is in a state of performing a karaoke performance of the music X1 based on the song battle mode M1 (details will be described later).

Here, it is assumed that, following the selection of the music X1, the user U4 belonging to the group B selects the music X2 via the remote control device R2. In this case, the combination of the specific information IX2 and the identifier IR2 is registered in the reservation queue following the combination of the specific information IX1 and the identifier IR1.

Whether or not the mode setting unit 200 is set to the mode associated with the group identifier of the group B to which the user U4 who selected the music X2 corresponding to the specific information IX2 belongs (in this example, the identifier IR2 of the remote controller R2). To judge.

According to FIG. 4B, the singing scoring mode M2 is associated with the identifier IR2. Further, as described above, the singing scoring mode M2 selected in the group B is being executed (that is, the singing scoring mode M2 is set).

Therefore, the mode setting unit 200 selects the singing scoring mode M2 for the music X2. The mode setting unit 200 outputs the information of the selected mode to the performance processing unit 300.

It is assumed that the user U8 belonging to the group C selects the music X3 via the remote controller R3 when the mode list shown in FIG. 4B exists. In this case, the combination of the specific information IX3 corresponding to the music X3 and the identifier IR3 of the remote control device R3 is registered in the reservation queue.

Whether or not the mode setting unit 200 is set to the mode associated with the group identifier of the group C to which the user U8 who selected the music X3 corresponding to the specific information IX3 belongs (in this example, the identifier IR3 of the remote controller R3). To judge.

According to FIG. 4B, there is no mode associated with the identifier IR3. In this case, the mode setting unit 200 selects the performance mode Md preset in the karaoke device K for the music X3. The mode setting unit 200 outputs the information of the selected mode to the performance processing unit 300.

(Performance processing unit)
The performance processing unit 300 performs processing including karaoke performance of the music based on the mode selected by the mode setting unit 200.

For example, it is assumed that the mode setting unit 200 selects the song battle mode M1 for the music X1. In this case, the performance processing unit 300 acquires the accompaniment data of the corresponding music X1 from the storage means 10a based on the specific information IX1 registered in the reservation queue. Then, the performance processing unit 300 outputs the acquired accompaniment data to the performance means 10d, and causes the music X1 to perform a karaoke performance. The user U1 who has selected the music X1 can sing karaoke along with the karaoke performance.

Further, the performance processing unit 300 executes processing based on the mode M1 of the song battle being executed. That is, the performance processing unit 300 calculates the scoring value by scoring the singing voice data extracted from the singing voice of the karaoke singing performed by the user U1 based on the pitch and the volume. Then, the performance processing unit 300 adds the calculated scoring value as a score of either the red group or the white group. Then, the performance processing unit 300 displays the scores of the red group and the white group on the display screen of the display device 30 or the remote control device R1.

Next, it is assumed that the mode setting unit 200 selects the singing scoring mode M2 for the music X2. In this case, the performance processing unit 300 acquires the accompaniment data of the corresponding music X2 from the storage means 10a based on the specific information IX2 registered in the reservation queue. Then, the performance processing unit 300 outputs the acquired accompaniment data to the performance means 10d, and causes the music X2 to perform a karaoke performance. The user U4 who has selected the music X2 can sing karaoke along with the karaoke performance.

Further, the performance processing unit 300 executes processing based on the singing scoring mode M2 being executed. That is, the performance processing unit 300 calculates the scoring value by scoring the singing voice data extracted from the singing voice of the karaoke singing performed by the user U4 based on the pitch and the volume. Then, the performance processing unit 300 displays the calculated scoring value on the display screen of the display device 30 or the remote control device R2.

When the singing scoring mode M2 is selected for the music X2 by the mode setting unit 200, the processing in the mode selected by another group (for example, the song battle mode M1) is executed. In this case, the performance processing unit 300 switches from the song battle mode M1 to the song scoring mode M2. However, the performance processing unit 300 puts the mode itself into a standby state without ending it until the specific information IM1e corresponding to the end of the song battle mode M1 is selected.

Alternatively, it is assumed that the performance mode Md is selected for the music X3 by the mode setting unit 200. In this case, the performance processing unit 300 acquires the accompaniment data of the corresponding music X3 from the storage means 10a based on the specific information IX3 registered in the reservation queue. Then, the performance processing unit 300 outputs the acquired accompaniment data to the performance means 10d, and causes the music X3 to perform a karaoke performance. The user U8 who has selected the music X3 can sing karaoke along with the karaoke performance.

After the karaoke performance of each song is started, the performance processing unit 300 deletes the combination of the specific information corresponding to the song and the identifier of the remote controller device registered in the reservation queue.

== About the operation of the karaoke device K ==

Register the specific information corresponding to the mode in the reservation queue by associating it with the group identifier of the group to which the user belongs (Register the specific information corresponding to the music or mode by associating it with the group identifier of one group. 10).

Here, when the specific information registered in the reservation queue corresponds to the mode (in the case of Y in step 11), the mode setting unit 200 sets the mode (mode is set. Step 12).

On the other hand, when the specific information registered in the reservation queue does not correspond to the mode (when N in step 11), the specific information registered in the reservation queue corresponds to a certain music. In this case, the mode setting unit 200 determines whether or not the mode associated with the group identifier of the group to which the user who selected the certain music belongs is set. When the mode associated with the group identifier of the group to which the user who selected a certain song belongs is set (in the case of Y in step 13), the mode setting unit 200 selects the set mode (in the case of Y in step 13). Select the set mode. Step 14).

On the other hand, when the mode associated with the group identifier of the group to which the user who selected a certain music belongs is not set (when N in step 13), the mode setting unit 200 sets the preset standard mode. Select (select standard mode, step 15).

The performance processing unit 300 performs a process including a karaoke performance of the music based on the mode selected in step 14 or step 15 (a process including a karaoke performance is executed based on the selected mode. Step 16).

Next, with reference to FIG. 6, an example in which one of a plurality of modes that can be executed by a music piece for singing karaoke or a karaoke device K is selected by a user belonging to another group. explain. In this example, it is assumed that one mode is already executed for one group.

When a mode is selected by a user who belongs to another group different from one group, the reservation processing unit 100 associates the specific information corresponding to the mode with the group identifier of the group to which the user belongs. Register in the reservation queue (register specific information corresponding to the mode in association with the group identifier of another group. Step 20).

The mode setting unit 200 sets the mode (mode is set. Step 21).

After that, when a song for karaoke singing is selected by a user belonging to another group, the reservation processing unit 100 provides specific information corresponding to the selected song to the group identifier of the group to which the user belongs. Register in the reservation queue in association with (step 22).

The mode setting unit 200 determines whether or not the mode associated with the group identifier of the group to which the user who selected the music in step 22 belongs is set. In this example, the mode is set. In this case, the mode setting unit 200 outputs the information of the mode set in step 21 to the performance processing unit 300.

The performance processing unit 300 performs a process including a karaoke performance of a certain song based on the mode set in step 21 (a process including a karaoke performance is executed based on the set mode. Step 23).

As is clear from the above, the karaoke device K according to the present embodiment is used by a plurality of groups. The karaoke device K is a song for singing a karaoke song by a user belonging to one group, or a selected song or mode when one of a plurality of modes that can be executed by the karaoke device K is selected. When the reservation processing unit 100 that associates the specific information corresponding to the user with the group identifier of the group to which the user belongs and registers it in the reservation queue, and the specific information registered in the reservation queue corresponds to the mode, the mode is used. Is set to correspond to a song with specific information registered in the reservation queue, and the mode associated with the group identifier of the group to which the user who selected the song belongs is set. In this case, it has a mode setting unit 200 for selecting the set mode, and a performance processing unit 300 for performing processing including karaoke performance of the music based on the mode selected by the mode setting unit 200.

According to such a karaoke device K, processing is executed for the karaoke singing of one group based on the mode selected by the one group. On the other hand, for karaoke singing of other groups, the process based on the mode is not executed. Therefore, one group can use the desired mode without worrying about other groups. That is, according to the karaoke device K according to the present embodiment, it is easy to use various modes provided in the karaoke device K in a situation where one karaoke device is used by a plurality of groups.

Further, in the karaoke device K according to the present embodiment, when the specific information registered in the reservation queue corresponds to the start of the mode, the mode setting unit 200 executes the mode and specifies the identification registered in the reservation queue.

When the mode associated with is terminated, the standard mode preset in the karaoke device K can be selected. According to such a karaoke device K, karaoke singing can be enjoyed even after the mode setting is completed.

Further, in the karaoke device K according to the present embodiment, when the reservation processing unit 100 selects a song for singing karaoke or one mode by a user belonging to another group different from one group. , The specific information corresponding to the selected music or mode is registered in the reservation queue in association with the group identifier of the group to which the user belongs. With such a karaoke device K, it is possible to enjoy karaoke singing by using a mode desired for each group.

Further, the karaoke device K according to the present embodiment has a plurality of remote control devices capable of communicating with the karaoke device, and the group identifier corresponds to the identifier of the remote control device. By identifying the group using the identifier of the remote controller device in this way, it is possible to save the trouble of setting an individual group identifier each time.

<Modification 1>
While one mode is being executed in one group, the user of the one group may further select a mode. In this case, the mode setting unit 200 can invalidate the selection of the mode.

For example, in the example of the above embodiment, it is assumed that the user U2 belonging to the group A selects the start of the singing scoring mode M2 via the remote control device R1 during the execution of the song battle mode M1. The remote control device R1 transmits the specific information IM2s corresponding to the start of singing scoring to the karaoke device K together with its own identifier IR1. The reservation processing unit 100 registers the specific information IM2s in the reservation queue in association with the identifier IR1.

On the other hand, the mode setting unit 200 refers to the mode list and confirms whether or not there is specific information corresponding to the mode associated with the identifier IR1. In this example, the identifier IR1 is already associated with the specific information IM1s corresponding to the song battle mode M1. In this case, the mode setting unit 200 invalidates the selection of the singing scoring mode M2. At that time, the mode control unit 200 may display the display device 30 to that effect. The mode setting unit 200 deletes the combination of the specific information IM2s and the identifier IR1 from the reservation queue.

<Modification 2>
Instead of using the identifier of the remote control device as the group identifier, it is also possible to use a plurality of group identifiers preset in the remote control device.

For example, one remote control device can display a group selection screen. On the group selection screen, icons with group names such as "Group A" and "Group B" are displayed. Each group is set with unique information (that is, a group identifier) for identifying the group.

When one group came to the store, an employee of Karaoke Store S said, "When selecting a song or mode, select the" Group A "icon on the display screen of the remote control device." deep.

After that, it is assumed that the users of one group select the icon of "Group A" and then select the music for singing karaoke. In this case, the reservation processing unit 100 registers the specific information corresponding to the selected music in the reservation queue in association with the group identifier corresponding to the group A set in the remote controller device.

According to the configuration of this modification, by providing at least one remote control device, it is possible to enjoy karaoke singing by using the desired mode for each group.
