  The game control means 72 executes game control based on an operation by the remote controller 50 or the like as an operation device in parallel (synchronization) with the performance control by the performance control means 70. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an example of a game executed by the game control means 72. As shown in FIG. 4, the game control means 72 preferably responds to an operation by a remote controller 50 or the like, which is an operating device, of a moving body 82 that moves in a predetermined direction on the screen 80 of the video display device 12. Then, a so-called game control is executed in which the moving body 84 is moved or rotated in a predetermined direction and loaded on one end portion of the screen 80 to erase the moving body 84 loaded under a predetermined condition. In the parallel control of the performance and the game by the karaoke device 10, as shown in FIG. 4, the lyrics character video of the karaoke performance song is displayed in the other half of the screen 80 of the video display device 12 in the other half. The game screen is displayed in the area. The moving body 82 drops at a predetermined moving speed from the upper side to the lower side of the screen 80 of the video display device 12, and when the moving body 84 contacts the moving body 84 loaded on the lower end portion of the screen, the moving body 82 is loaded on the screen. However, for example, it is erased from the screen 80 together with a part of the loaded moving body 84 according to conditions such as connecting a predetermined number or more of the same type of marks, or eliminating the left-right gap in the loaded moving body 84. Is done. Here, the moving moving body 82 can be moved left and right by the operation of the arrow button 56 and the like of the remote controller 50, and the moving moving body 82 is moved around the center of gravity by the operation of the numeric button 52 and the music selection button 54 and the like. The number can be rotated (for example, the counterclockwise rotation with the number button “0”, and the clockwise rotation with the music selection button 54). As described above, by suitably moving the moving moving body 82 to the left and right and rotating around the center of gravity, the loaded moving body 84 can be efficiently erased. Then, the game is ended when the moving body 82 in which the moving body 84 is loaded up to the top of the screen 80 and cannot move is dropped.

  The performance evaluation means 74 evaluates the content of the performance according to the sound input from the microphone 22 in accordance with the output of the karaoke performance music by the performance control means 70. Specifically, audio information input from the microphone 22 that is an audio input device and converted into a digital signal by the A / D converter 42 is read from the song database of the hard disk 32 and stored in the RAM 30. The score as the singing evaluation is calculated based on the relative deviation from the pitch and tempo of the performance information, the volume, and the like. The smaller the relative deviation from the pitch and tempo, the higher the volume, the higher the score. This performance evaluation means 74 may calculate a score as a specific numerical value, or may give one of a plurality of predetermined evaluations as a scoring result.

  The game evaluation means 76 evaluates the content of the game according to the operation by the remote controller 50. Specifically, the score is calculated according to the amount of the loaded moving body 84 to be erased by bringing the moving moving body 82 into contact with the loaded moving body 84. The higher the number of loaded moving bodies 84, the higher the score. The game evaluation means 76 may calculate a score as a specific numerical value, or may give one of a plurality of predetermined evaluations as a scoring result.

  Here, the performance control means 70 preferably changes the performance load during the performance and the game in accordance with the evaluation result by the game evaluation means 76. The performance load is, for example, the speed or pitch of the karaoke performance music generated by the synthesizer 40 and output via the amplifier mixer 18, and the performance control means 70 is preferably configured to evaluate the game. The higher the evaluation result by the means 76, the higher the performance load. For example, when the evaluation result by the game evaluation means 76 is higher than the evaluation result by the performance evaluation means 74, the speed of the karaoke performance music is increased according to the difference between the evaluation results, as shown in FIG. Or change the pitch. Thus, it becomes difficult for the user to sing by increasing the speed of the karaoke performance song or changing the pitch, and it is difficult to obtain a high evaluation by the performance evaluation means 74. Difficulty increases. Preferably, when the load is increased to a level at which singing is difficult due to the speed of the karaoke performance song becoming too fast, the performance is terminated at that time. In other words, the performance control means 70 is a performance difficulty level changing means for changing the performance difficulty level during the performance and the game in accordance with the evaluation result by the game evaluation means 76.

  Further, the game control means 72 preferably changes the load of the game during the performance and the game according to the evaluation result by the performance evaluation means 74. The game load is, for example, the falling speed of the moving moving body 82, and the game control unit 72 preferably increases the game load as the evaluation result by the performance evaluation unit 74 increases. . For example, when the evaluation result by the performance evaluation means 74 is higher than the evaluation result by the game evaluation means 76, the falling speed of the moving moving body 82 is increased according to the difference between the evaluation results. Further, preferably, as shown in FIG. 6, an obstacle 86 appears in the screen 80 according to the difference between the evaluation results, and is dropped and stacked on the lower end of the screen in the same manner as the moving moving body 82. Let The obstacle 86 is erased under conditions different from those of the loaded moving body 84. Preferably, the obstacle 86 cannot be erased by the contact itself of the moving moving body 82 and is loaded around. It is harder to erase than the loaded moving bodies 84 so that the moving bodies 84 cannot be erased unless they are erased. As described above, the falling speed of the moving moving body 82 increases, or the obstacle 86 appears in the screen 80, so that it becomes difficult to erase the loaded moving body 84. As a result, the difficulty level of the game is increased. That is, in other words, the game control means 72 is a game difficulty level changing means for changing the difficulty level of the game during the performance and the game according to the evaluation result by the performance evaluation means 74.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining a karaoke performance control operation and a game execution control operation performed by the CPU 26 of the karaoke apparatus 10, and is repeatedly executed at a predetermined cycle.

  First, in step (hereinafter, step is omitted) SA1, the karaoke performance process and the game execution process are started. Next, in SA2, it is determined whether or not it is the performance and game evaluation timing. When the determination of SA2 is negative, the processing after SA8 is executed. When the determination of SA2 is affirmative, in SA3 corresponding to the operations of the performance evaluation means 74 and the game evaluation means 72. The sound information inputted from the microphone 22 and converted into a digital signal by the A / D converter 42 is read from the musical composition database of the hard disk 32 and stored in the RAM 30 from the pitch and tempo of the performance information. The score as the evaluation result of the performance is calculated based on relative deviation, volume, etc., and the game is erased by bringing the moving moving body 82 into contact with the loaded moving body 84. The score as the evaluation result of the game is calculated according to the amount of the loaded moving body 84. Next, in SA4, it is determined whether or not the performance evaluation result calculated in SA3 is larger than the game evaluation result. If the determination at SA4 is affirmative, the processing at SA8 and subsequent steps is executed after the game load is increased according to the difference between the evaluation results at SA5, but the determination at SA4 is denied. In this case, in SA6, it is determined whether or not the evaluation result of the game calculated in SA3 is larger than the evaluation result of the performance. If the determination at SA6 is affirmative, the performance load is increased according to the difference between the evaluation results at SA7, and then the processing after SA8 is executed, but the determination at SA6 is denied. In such a case, in SA8, it is determined whether or not the performance is ended by increasing the load to a level where singing is difficult due to the speed of the karaoke performance song becoming too fast. If the determination of SA8 is negative, after the karaoke performance process is performed in SA9, if the process of SA10 or lower is executed, if the determination of SA8 is affirmative, the determination is made in SA10. It is determined whether or not the game is ended, for example, when there is no moving area of the moving moving body 82 in the screen 80. When the determination of SA10 is affirmed, the process after SA12 is executed after the game execution process is performed at SA11. However, when the determination of SA10 is affirmed, the process is executed at SA12. It is determined whether or not both the karaoke performance and the game are over. When the determination at SA12 is negative, the processing after SA2 is executed again. However, when the determination at SA12 is affirmative, the routine is terminated. That is, in the above control, even if one of the performance and the game is ended, the other can be continued. SA7 and SA9 correspond to the operation of the performance control means 70, and SA5 and SA11 correspond to the operation of the game control means 72, respectively.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, the performance control means 70 (SA7 and SA9) that controls the performance of synthesizing and outputting the performance music output from the synthesizer 40 and the sound input from the microphone 22. Along with the performance control by the performance control means 70, the game control means 72 (SA5 and SA11) for executing the control of the game based on the operation by the remote controller 50 and the like, along with the output of the performance music Performance evaluation means 74 (SA3) that evaluates the content of the performance according to the sound input from the microphone 22, and game evaluation means 76 (SA3) that evaluates the content of the game according to an operation by the remote controller 50 or the like. Therefore, the performance and the game can be enjoyed in parallel, and each evaluation is used as a reference or parameter. It is possible to realize an attractive pastime. In other words, it is possible to provide the karaoke apparatus 10 that can execute a game that is linked to a performance.

  Further, the performance control means 70 changes the performance and the performance load during the continuation of the game according to the evaluation result by the game evaluation means 76, and the game control means 72 is the performance evaluation means. Since the load of the game is changed during the performance and the game according to the evaluation result by 74, the evaluation results of the performance and the game can be reflected as the other load. There is an advantage that a game that interlocks with each other can be executed.

  The performance control means 70 increases the performance load as the evaluation result by the game evaluation means 76 increases, and the game control means 72 increases the evaluation result by the performance evaluation means 74. Since the load of the game is increased, there is an advantage that a battle-type game in which the performance and the evaluation results of each game are competed can be executed.

  Since the performance control means 70 changes at least one of the speed and pitch of the performance music as the performance load, the performance and the evaluation results of the game are evaluated in a practical manner. It can be reflected as a load.

  Further, the game control means 72 moves or rotates a moving body 82 that moves in a predetermined direction on the screen 80 of the video display device 12 in a predetermined direction according to an operation by the remote controller 50 or the like, The game control is performed to erase the moving body 84 loaded on one end and loaded under a predetermined condition, and the moving speed of the moving moving body 82 is changed as the game load. In addition to realizing an attractive game, the performance and the evaluation results of each game can be reflected as a load of the game in a practical manner.

  The game control means 72 causes the obstacle 86 to be erased in the screen 80 as a load of the game, which is erased under different conditions from the loaded mobile body 84. The evaluation result can be reflected as a load of the game in a practical manner.

  Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the flowchart of FIG. In the control shown in FIG. 8, the steps common to the flowchart of FIG. 7 described above are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted.

  In the control of FIG. 8, it is determined in SB1 whether or not the performance evaluation result calculated in SA3 is larger than a predetermined value. When the determination at SB1 is negative, the processing after SB4 is executed. When the determination at SB1 is positive, the evaluation result of the game calculated at SA3 is a predetermined value at SB2. It is determined whether it is larger. When the determination of SB2 is affirmed, after both the performance load and the game load are reduced in SB3, the processing after SB5 is executed, but when the determination of SB2 is denied In SB4, after both the performance load and the game load are increased, it is determined in SB5 whether one of the performance and the game is ended. When the determination at SB5 is negative, after the karaoke performance process and the game execution process are performed at SB5, the processes after SA2 are executed again, but when the determination at SB5 is affirmed. This routine is then terminated. That is, in the above control, when one of the performance and the game is finished, the other is also finished. SB3, SB4, and SB6 correspond to the operations of the performance control means 70 and the game control means 72.

  Thus, according to this embodiment, the performance control means 70 (SB3, SB4, and SB6) reduces the performance load as the evaluation result by the game evaluation means 76 increases. Since the control means 72 (SB3, SB4, and SB6) reduces the load on the game as the evaluation result by the performance evaluation means 74 increases, the performance and the game cooperate with each other to aim for a high evaluation result. There is an advantage that a cooperative game can be executed.

The game control means 72 may change the display area of the game on the screen 80 of the video display device 12 as the game load. If the display area of the lyric text image is reduced, the load of the performance is increased, and if the display area of the game is reduced, the load of the game is increased. Furthermore, the voice quality of the voice input from the microphone 22 as the performance load may be changed, and for example, a male voice may be converted into a female voice and output, for example. That is, the performance and game loads may be in any form as long as the performance and game difficulty can be changed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the game control means 72 displays the video for the game on the video display device 12 of the karaoke device 10. For example, as shown in FIG.
