Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a karaoke apparatus, particularly relates to a karaoke apparatus having the features in the background image selection system.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The excitement of grabbing a microphone with a full-fledged music performance from an excellent sound source and singing a favorite song high is common to many people who enjoy karaoke. And the background video adds to the atmosphere of the place, coupled with the performance of the music at the time of singing. In general, a large amount of background video data is recorded on a disk medium, and a karaoke apparatus stores a large number of these disk media to prepare for synchronized playback with music performance.
[0003]
These disc media are selectively loaded into a plurality of disc drives and played back in accordance with the music performance reservation list. Therefore, the karaoke apparatus loads the disk medium on which the background video D corresponding to the music to be played next is recorded into the disk drive B while the background video C is played back by the disk drive A along with a certain music performance. Prepare for playback. Thereby, the switching of the background video is realized according to the change of the music to be played.
[0004]
Several methods have been devised in the past for selectively playing back background images in accordance with musical performances. For example, words included in the title and lyrics of a song are extracted as text data from the storage medium in which they are stored, and the text data is used as words such as “winter”, “Japan Sea”, “Hawaii”, “Christmas”. There is a method of performing matching by comparing with a table that defines the relationship between the video and the background video and selectively reproducing the background video matched to the performance music from the corresponding disk medium (eg, Japanese Patent No. 2853258).
[0005]
On the other hand, the music genre attribute information such as “J-POP”, “Enka”, “Group Sounds” is associated with the background video, and a matching search is performed between the music genre of the performance music and the music genre of the background video. For example, there is a method of extracting and playing back a corresponding background image (eg, Japanese Patent No. 3106076).
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
For those who enjoy karaoke, it is important to sing a favorite song as you like, and the idea of singing a reserved song to the end is irrelevant. For example, when renting a box and enjoying karaoke on a time basis, for songs that you have decided that you cannot sing with your own singing ability, or for songs that have entered a later part that is no longer related to singing, Even if there is, it often interrupts the performance. On the other hand, the karaoke apparatus may have a function of automatically interrupting the performance. This is the “2 chorus fade-out” function used in stores and the like that employ a system that charges for each performance of music. The karaoke apparatus set to use this function automatically ends the music performance of the third or more music piece by turning it off at the second position and fading it out. The purpose is to increase the number of performance songs and improve profitability.
[0007]
When the music performance is interrupted in this manner, in the conventional karaoke apparatus described above, the disk drive that is preparing to reproduce the background video has a disk medium that is scheduled to be reproduced for the music that has been interrupted. Already installed. Therefore, after returning the medium or the disk medium that was being played back to the original storage location, set the disk medium that recorded the video specified first in the next scheduled performance song to the disk drive. I have to do it again. In other words, when the music performance was interrupted, the background video corresponding to the music scheduled to be played next could not be smoothly reproduced.
[0008]
Therefore, the user has to wait annoyingly for the time required for the reloading operation of the disk medium. In addition, if it is a rented karaoke store, the number of songs that can be sung will be reduced, and fees will be generated during wasted time, and user dissatisfaction will be accumulated. On the other hand, even if the karaoke store side charges for each song and uses the 2-chorus fade-out function, the effect of the function cannot be obtained sufficiently. For this reason, there has been a problem that the number of performance songs cannot be increased greatly and improvement in profits cannot be expected.
[0009]
On the other hand, in order to solve this problem, an emergency video for each music genre to be played when the music performance is interrupted is prepared in advance, and a background video script of the music scheduled for the next performance (video set in association with the music) There has been proposed a method of executing the reproduction of the background video by replacing the emergency video with the head background video in the permutation of the category identifier). However, when this method is executed, for example, even though the genres such as “Enka” and “J-POP” are the same, they are imaged in the first background video and the subsequent background video that were originally examined under different storylines. There was a problem that gaps were likely to occur and it was difficult for karaoke users to develop a story without any sense of incongruity.
[0010]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a karaoke apparatus capable of displaying and outputting a background image of a song scheduled for the next performance quickly and with a sense of incongruity when the music performance is interrupted.
[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
=== Basic configuration of karaoke equipment ===
FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a karaoke apparatus 1 according to the embodiment. The central control unit 11 is a microcomputer including a CPU, a RAM, and a ROM inside, and performs data communication with peripheral components via the data bus 100 and the control bus 110 to control / supervise the karaoke apparatus 1. . In addition to the karaoke data for a large number of songs, the hard disk device 12 also stores various data that are associated with each other so as to be searchable by the ID (music number) of the karaoke music. Karaoke data is accompaniment music generation data described in MIDI format, and lyrics that describe the lyrics characters to be drawn in synchronization with the performance of the accompaniment music and the attributes of the characters (display position, display color, display / erase timing) This is a set of rendering data.
[0017]
When the central control unit 11 receives the ID input of the requested music from the remote control transmitter 17 or the operation panel 18 via the operation control unit 19, the central control unit 11 stores the input order and the ID in association with each other in the RAM, and reserves the performance of the music. Register. Then, the karaoke data of the corresponding music is extracted according to the reservation order. Then, the MIDI data is transferred to the synthesizer 13. The synthesizer 13 controls the internal sound source according to the MIDI data, and generates karaoke accompaniment music. Karaoke accompaniment music is mixed with the singing voice signal from the microphone 15 by the mixing amplifier 14 and output to the speaker 16 as voice. On the other hand, a bitmap image corresponding to the lyric image is developed in the video RAM 20 based on the lyric rendering data. Further, the video database unit 30 is controlled to output an appropriate background video signal. The video control unit 21 superimposes the background video as the background of the lyrics image and outputs the video to the display 22.
[0018]
=== Configuration of Video Database ===
FIG. 2 shows a configuration diagram of the video database unit 30. The video database control unit 31 performs data communication with the central control unit 11 of the karaoke apparatus body 1 via the buses (100, 110), and controls each component of the video database unit 30. The disk storage unit 32 is loaded / accommodated with a large number (for example, 100 in this embodiment) of DVDs (hereinafter, disks) (Di: i is a number from 1 to 100). On each disc Di, a video for a long time (eg, 133 minutes as the playback time) prepared for display on the display as a background video during the performance of karaoke accompaniment music is encoded and compressed according to the MPEG2 standard. A video segment identifier is recorded as a segmented video segmented in a short time. The two disc drives 33 and 34 drive the disc Di supplied from the disc storage unit 32 by the disc loading mechanism 35, and read out the segmented video recorded on the disc Di using the video segment identifier as a key. The input switching unit 36 performs input switching of the segmented video output from the disk drives 33 and 34 and outputs the segmented video from the disc drive (33, 34) of an appropriate system to the MPEG2 decoding unit 37. The MPEG2 decoding unit 37 decompresses and decodes the input segmented video in real time to reproduce the video signal.
[0019]
Each of the multiple disks Di is assigned a disk number i (i is an integer of 1 to 100), and is loaded in a predetermined position of the disk storage unit 32 according to the number. Of course, identification data of its own number is also recorded on each disk Di. Further, the divided video at a desired data recording position on one disk Di can be accessed by the sector address assigned to each data sector. A desired sector address can be accessed in units of time of 1 second or less by specifying a time code (minute / second / frame) corresponding to the elapsed time when the video recorded on the disk Di is reproduced from the beginning. .
[0020]
Further, each disk Di has a VTS corresponding to “track number search” in a CD, and a specific sector address can be accessed by designating a predetermined VTS number. When the video database control unit 31 receives the disk number i and the sector address or VTS number from the central control unit 11, the video database control unit 31 controls the disk loading mechanism 35 and corresponds to the disk drive (33, 34) of an appropriate system. The disc Di is set, and the disc Di is driven to read out and join the desired segmented video to reproduce the background video. The set information of the disk number i and the sector address or VTS number described above is a “video segment identifier” that is information for identifying the segment video.
[0021]
=== Script Data and Video Database Operation ===
The background image displayed when a certain karaoke piece is played is obtained by connecting and editing short-time image materials (divided images) distributed and recorded on a large number of discs Di. In the video database unit 30, the two systems of disk drives 33 and 34 alternately take charge of playback processing and playback preparation, so that the divided videos are smoothly connected. Script data is the basis for connecting and editing short segmented videos in this way. This script data designates segmented video to be used during the performance of one piece of music by using a permutation of video segment identifiers. For example, the script data is described by a video segment identifier in which a disc number and a time code are set as described above. ing. The script data is associated with each karaoke song by its song number and stored in the hard disk device 12.
[0022]
Note that each segmented video in the present embodiment is recorded with at least one of the meanings of starting and falling for each video. For example, for a song about the theme of “love”, a group of material images 1 that envisioned “starting” that makes you feel the beginning of a love story, such as a scene where men and women meet, depicting how love develops. Multiple material video group 2 that assumes “acceptance” such as a scene, one turn, multiple material video group 3 that assumes “turn” such as a scene in which love enters the transition period, and follows various trajectories In addition, a plurality of material video groups 4 that are supposed to be “concluded” such as a scene that finally has a happy ending are collected in a video database using a CD-ROM or the like as a recording medium.
[0023]
Of course, the above-mentioned “love” may be defined as an easy-to-fit video genre in accordance with the meaning of the settlement. Specific examples of this video genre include, for example, Japanese emotional images, city night view images, sad snowy ocean images, intense wave ocean images, Japanese mountain landscapes, Japanese urban night views. It is possible to express a scene such as a foreign city, a foreign mountain, a south island, or a story development such as a happy ending for men and women, a happy ending for families, a tragedy for men and women. If such a specific video genre is set, the selection of segmented video that matches the attributes of the music becomes more reliable, leading to the production and selection of excellent script data.
[0024]
The material video groups 1 and 4 are produced in a fixed length (eg 60 seconds), and the material video groups 2 and 3 are produced in about 90 seconds. Regarding the latter half of the material video groups 2 and 3, there is no sense of incongruity even if the material video group 3 or 4 is switched to the next material video group during playback. In order to cope with the performance, it is produced with a video content with a light storyline that portrays landscapes and scenes so that there is no sense of incongruity even during repeat playback.
[0025]
In addition, in the script data of each song, the first 60 seconds of the music performance is the playback section of the segmented video (referred to as the first video) corresponding to “start”, and the last 60 seconds is the segmented video (the fourth video and the fourth video). On the other hand, the music performance time of the intermediate part excluding the head part and the tail part is appropriately divided and divided videos corresponding to “approval” and “turn” (second video and third video) The playback section is assigned. By taking such a common structure for the script data across songs, even if the script data edited for other songs is borrowed, the difference in music performance time can be absorbed and smooth background video can be reproduced. It becomes.
[0026]
In this embodiment, three script data from Candidate 1 to Candidate 3 are produced for each piece of music and are associated with each piece of music. In the singer-specific music video index file 300 in FIG. 3B, the script data 301 of the candidates 1 to 3 set for each song is added to the singer incident numbers “01” to “05” corresponding to the artist number “5627”. It is a compilation of each song. As can be seen from the structure of the index file 300, each piece of music has three candidate script data 301, and each script data 301 is composed of a video segment identifier 302 that identifies the first to fourth videos corresponding to "starting and rolling". It is done. The video segment identifier 302 in the figure is only a simple number such as “104” or “103”. For example, a correspondence table (not shown) of these numbers and disk numbers and sector addresses or VTS numbers. Assume that selective playback of segmented video is executed using.
[0027]
When starting the performance process of a certain karaoke piece, the central control unit 11 takes out the corresponding script data together with the karaoke data from the hard disk device 12 and transfers it to the video database control unit 31. First, the video database control unit 31 controls the disc loading mechanism 35, for example, a disc Dj (j is 1 to 100) in which the disc drive 33 contains a segment video to be used as the beginning of the music, that is, the first video. Number). In addition, the disk Dk (k is a number from 1 to 100 other than j) corresponding to the middle part of the music, that is, the second video is supplied to the disk drive 34. When the disk Dj is supplied to the disk drive 33 and it is recognized that it is ready to read the segmented video from a predetermined sector address, the central control unit 11 is notified accordingly. In response to this notification, the central control unit 11 starts music performance processing and causes the video database control unit 31 to start playback control of segmented video. The video database control unit 31 controls to switch the divided video input system of the input switching unit 36 to the disk drive 33 side. The MPEG2 decoding unit 37 decompresses / decodes the input MPEG2 data in real time, and gives the reproduced video signal to the video control unit 21.
[0028]
During the playback process of the segmented video that is the first video, the disk drive 34 completes preparation for reading data of the segmented video that is the second video. In synchronization with the end timing of the first video, reading of the segmented video as the second video from the disk drive 34 is started. At the same time, the input switching unit 36 is switched to the disk drive 34 side. In addition, the disk loading mechanism 35 causes the disk Dj mounted in the disk drive 33 to return to the original storage position, and the disk Dl (l is 1 to 1 other than k) on which the third video is recorded. (Number 100) is mounted on the disk drive 33 (of course, if the location of the segmented video for the third video is on the disk Dj, the disk Dj is not returned to the original storage location).
[0029]
The switching of the segmented video from the third video to the fourth video is the same as the switching from the first video to the second video. At this time, if the music to be played next is registered after the music being played, the script data of the music is taken out and the recording location of the segmented video used as the first video is acquired. Then, the disk Dk mounted in the disk drive 34 is exchanged with the disk Dm (m is a number from 1 to 100 other than l) on which the divided video used in the first video of the music is recorded (of course, In some cases, it may not be necessary to exchange the segmented video, which is the first video of the music, on the discs Dk and Dl).
[0030]
The above is the playback control of the background video when the music being played ends normally. In this embodiment, a background video selection function is provided that allows the next music performance to be started without interruption without reloading the disc Di in the case of an “emergency” such as the above-described performance interruption operation or 2-chorus fade-out. ing. In addition, it is possible to play a video that matches the atmosphere of the music instead of the segmented video specified by the script data.
[0031]
=== Background Video Selection Function 1 ===
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an overview of background video selection procedure example 1 in this embodiment, where (a) is a classification code index file, (b) is a song video index file by singer, and (c) is a simple processing flow. is there. When the performance of a certain piece of music is interrupted and the music number “5627-05” that is scheduled to be played next is played suddenly, the disk corresponding to the first video segment identifier that identifies the background video is the disk. Assume that the drive 33 or 34 is not set at the playback position.
[0032]
At this time, the central control unit 11 of the karaoke apparatus 1 sets the script data (video segment identifier permutation) set in association with the other music pieces with respect to a set of other music pieces having the same classification attribute as that of the music piece A. A video segment identifier that identifies the first video in the image is checked. In this embodiment, as a “predetermined classification attribute” common to the music A, the classification code and the original song artist are taken as an example, and the music of the original song artist whose artist number is “5627” is classified into the classification code index file 310 ( FIG. 3A) and the singer-specific music video index file 300 (FIG. 3B) are aggregated to be “a set of other music having a common classification attribute”.
[0033]
For example, 10 patterns from 1 to 10 are set as the classification codes, and music genres such as enka, pop, rock, jazz, classical music, war songs, nursery rhymes, etc. are defined for each pattern. Of course, there are various other classification patterns such as single cut songs, album recording songs, live recording songs, song pattern of songwriter A, song of songwriter B, song of songwriter C, song song of artist, etc. Semantics may be given. The central control unit 11 searches the classification code index file 310 for the music of the original song artist with the artist number “5627” for the music whose classification code is “3”, which is the same as the music A.
[0034]
Subsequently, the script data of the song B, “5672-03”, which is the latest of the searched songs (in this example, the more the associated song is, the more the latest song) is referred to in the song video index file 300 for each singer. The video segment identifiers of the first video in each script data (script candidate 1: 103, script candidate 2: 109, script candidate 3: 101) are recognized. Further, it is determined whether or not the disc on which the segment video corresponding to the recognized video segment identifier is actually set at the playback position of the disc drive 33 or 34. In the embodiment, the disk drive 33 is set with a disk that records a segmented video corresponding to the video segment identifier 101, and the disk drive 34 is set with a disk that records a segmented video corresponding to the video segment identifier 102. It is confirmed that the disc on which the segment video corresponding to the segment identifier 101 is recorded is set in the disc drive 33.
[0035]
Hereinafter, the central control unit 11 selects each of the first to fourth segment videos corresponding to the video segment identifiers 101, 116, 103, and 106 based on the script data of the candidate 3 having the video segment identifier 101 as the first video. The corresponding discs are connected and reproduced in the disc drive 33 or 34 to output the background image of the music piece A. According to the present embodiment, the original song artist is the same, the music genre is the same, and script data relating to the latest music can be selected and borrowed quickly and easily for other music. Because it borrows the script data of a song that is produced for the same former song artist and the production period is close, and the music genre is the same, the background video played based on this script data feels uncomfortable There will be very few users.
[0036]
=== Background Video Selection Function 2 ===
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an outline of background video selection procedure example 2 in this embodiment, where (a) is a classification code index file, (b) is a song video index file by singer, and (c) is a simple processing flow. is there. In the background video selection function 1 described above, the video segment identifiers of the first video recognized for the script data of the music B “5627-03” (script candidate 1: 103, script candidate 2: 109, script candidate 3: 104 ) Is assumed that when it is determined that the disc containing the segmented video corresponding to () is actually set at the playback position of the disc drive 33 or 34, it is determined that the disc is not set in either the disc drive 33 or 34. To do.
[0037]
In such a case, the central control unit 11 has the latest classification of the original song artist with the artist number “5627” other than the song B with “5627-03” among the songs with the classification code “3” same as the song B. The music is searched in the classification code index file 410 for music. The script data of the song “5627-01” of the searched song is referred to in the singer-specific song video index file 400, and the video segment identifier of the first video in each script data (script candidate 1: 104, script candidate 2). : 10 8 , script candidate 3: 110).
[0038]
Further, it is determined whether or not the disc on which the segment video corresponding to the recognized video segment identifier is actually set at the playback position of the disc drive 33 or 34. In the embodiment, since the disk drive 33 disc was recorded division image corresponding to the video segment identifier 10 1, the disk drive 34 disc was recorded fractional pictures corresponding to the video segment identifier 108 is set , it is confirmed that the disc was recorded division image corresponding to the video segment identifier 10 8 is set in the disk drive 34.
[0039]
Hereinafter, the central control unit 11, a video segment identifier 108 based on the script data of candidate 2 of the first is a video "5627-01" as music C, image partition identifier 108, corresponding to 105,106,102 Each of the first to fourth segmented videos to be played is connected to the corresponding discs in the disk drive 33 or 34 and reproduced to output the background video of the music B. As described above, by repeating the processing of the background video selection function 2 until a disc in which the first video that matches the predetermined attribute information is recorded is recognized as being ready for playback in the disc drive, Script data that can be borrowed for the music B is selected.
[0040]
=== Others ===
The video database unit may have two MPEG2 decoding units, input two playback video signals from each decoding unit, and switch the one system to be input to the video control unit. Further, by inserting a video effector (video signal processing unit) or the like in an appropriate signal path, it is possible to switch the video while adding a special effect such as fade-in / fade-out to the segmented video.
[0041]
Various data related to the background video selection function (script data, various attribute data, etc.) may be data attached to karaoke data or the like, and there is a table associated with the music number. The data file may be stored in the hard disk device. Further, a VTS or a sector address may be directly described as attribute data. It suffices if the various data are present in appropriate recording locations so that they can be searched based on the ID of the karaoke song.
[0042]
Furthermore, in this embodiment, a disc (a disc containing only karaoke data or a disc mixed with video data) Di on which karaoke data is recorded is also stored in the disc storage unit 32. The central control unit 11 searches for the corresponding karaoke data in the hard disk device 12 at the time when a performance reservation for a certain piece of music is accepted. Take it out and copy it to the hard disk device 12. At the time of actual music performance, designated karaoke data is taken out from the hard disk device 12.
[0043]
【The invention's effect】
Even if the music performance is interrupted, a segmented video that matches the scheduled music to be played next is selected and selected from discs that are loaded in any disk drive and ready for playback. By borrowing the script data associated with the segmented video, the background video can be reproduced quickly and smoothly. For this reason, the user is forced to spend ineffective time during the reloading operation of the disk medium, and because of this “ineffective time” for the user, the number of songs that the user can sing at a rented karaoke store It also leads to solving the problem of reducing it. In addition, the karaoke store that uses the 2-chorus fade-out function can charge the music for each song, so that the effect of the function can be obtained sufficiently, so that the number of songs played can be greatly increased. This will also have the economic effect of increasing profits.
[0044]
Moreover, according to the present invention, for example, the original song artist is the same, the music genre is the same, and the script data that reflects the arbitrarily set attributes such as those related to the latest music is selected, It becomes possible to borrow quickly and easily for music. In other words, borrowing script data of music with matching attributes that can be set in various ways to other music can reduce the number of users who feel uncomfortable with the background video played along with the music.
[0045]
Therefore, the present invention can provide a karaoke apparatus capable of displaying and outputting a background image of a music piece scheduled to be played next quickly and with a little discomfort when the music performance is interrupted.
