SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention
In light of this point, the atmosphere when performing karaoke
Karaoke system that can increase user interest
The purpose is to provide.

[0004]

Karaoke system according to the present invention SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION comprises a karaoke body, scoring results of song singer singing the accompaniment of the karaoke body, swelling of songs
And a karaoke song based on at least one of the song scenes
A paper discharge unit for dropping paper from above the hand,
Karao riding a singer who sings with the accompaniment of Laoke's body

And a paper-sheet collecting unit for collecting the paper sheet dropped by the unit.
It is characterized by comprising. In the karaoke system, the paper piece discharging unit scores a song of the singer ,
It is preferable that the paper piece is dropped for a predetermined time in accordance with at least one of a music excitement and a music scene . Further, the karaoke system preferably further comprises an end-of-song detection unit for detecting the end of the tune by inputting information from the karaoke main body, and a scoring system for scoring the singer's singing style, and further comprising: The unit drops the piece of paper for a certain period of time after the end of music is detected by the end-of-music detection unit when the scoring result by the scoring system exceeds a predetermined value.

[0005]

According to the present invention, it is possible to perform an effect such as dropping a piece of paper from above the singer's head like a confetti and collecting it based on the singing situation of the singer of the karaoke. When the music exceeds a certain level, when the music rises, or when confetti is generated according to the scenery of falling snow or cherry blossoms, the atmosphere of karaoke can be enhanced and the karaoke can be enjoyed more.

There is no need to clean up pieces of paper, and the karaoke itself
It is possible to concentrate and enjoy.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a paper sheet generator (shredder) 20 for automatically generating a large number of paper sheets 31 by cutting the paper sheets 30 input from the input port 11 vertically and horizontally, and cutting the cut paper sheets 31 from a high place. This is a paper strip discharge unit that automatically drops.
The paper discharge section 2 0, pipe 21 for guiding the paper 31 that is generated by the paper-forming machine 10 to the discharge port 41 of the ceiling portion 40
And a fan motor 22 that blows the pipe 21 from below to move the paper piece 31 to the end of the pipe. Immediately below the outlet 41 of the ceiling 40 is, for example, a karaoke stage 50 on which a singer 60 rides and enjoys karaoke. The upper surface 51 of the stage 50 may be formed in a mesh shape to collect the falling paper pieces 31.

[0007] The paper sheet generator 10 is operated appropriately to generate a required amount of paper sheet 31 in advance. Then, when necessary, the fan motor 22 is temporarily operated to feed the paper piece 31 to the ceiling 40 through the pipe 21 and discharge the paper piece 31 downward from the discharge port 41. In this way, the falling paper 3
1 automatically generates confetti. Taking karaoke as an example, when singer 60 has finished singing one song,
The singing is scored, and if it exceeds a certain level, confetti can be generated. In this way, the singer 60
Can recognize this confetti as one reaction like applause, so karaoke will be more fun. Alternatively, the confetti may be generated in accordance with a climax in the middle of a song or in a scene where snow or cherry blossoms fall.

The switch for operating the fan motor 22 may be of a manual type, but if a system as shown in FIG.
This is also automated. That is, the information from the karaoke main body 71 is input to the end-of-song detection unit 72 to automatically detect the end of the tune, while the singer 60
(Song scale, melody, etc.) is scored.
Then, if the scoring result exceeds a certain value, a drive signal is sent to the motor control unit 74 to operate the fan motor 22 for a certain time from the end of the music.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a paper sheet generator (10 in FIG. 1)
Are used in common, and the paper piece discharge units 20 are individually installed at locations required for confetti generation. Reference numeral 80 denotes lighting equipment for illuminating the singer 60. The paper piece discharging section 20 of this example is a box that can be attached and detached near the opening of the ceiling section 40, and the inside is divided into a plurality of rooms 23. Each of the rooms 23 accommodates a preliminarily cut piece of paper 31, and the inside paper piece 31 falls by opening the lid 24 thereunder. By automatically opening the lid 24, confetti can be automatically generated as in the embodiment of FIG.

In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 3, when a large number of karaokes are provided close to each other, such as in a karaoke room which has recently become a boom, a paper sheet generator is installed in each karaoke room. And instead, the sheet discharge unit 20 that individually supplies the sheet 31 from a common sheet generator.
Is replaced, so that the overall cost can be reduced.

The confetti generating apparatus of the above-described embodiment can be applied not only to a karaoke studio and a karaoke room, but also to a theater or the like where a play is performed. The paper sheet to be cut is not limited to the paper material.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, confetti can be easily and inexpensively generated at a karaoke installation location or the like, which is useful in increasing the interest of the user.
