  However, in such inter-song CMs, if there are many music selection reservations, the inter-song time should be as short as possible. Therefore, inter-song CMs are not preferable for users and are usually deleted. . Therefore, PP (Product Placement) technology is currently being used as an advertising technique. This PP technology has been used in the past as a method for incorporating corporate products and services in the natural flow so as to harmonize with the progress of the movie, television or game images. Therefore, it is an effective method for users because they can visually recognize and accept products and services. Recently, instead of inter-song commercials, this PP technology has also been introduced into karaoke background video, and movements to consider media conversion of background video have become active.

  In addition, in the fusion field of broadcasting and communications, a business model that targets products and services compatible with PP technology as mail-order items has also been conceived, which leads to the creation of new business opportunities and deepening of mail-order sales. It has become a thing. However, it is quite impossible for the user to make a purchase decision in a very short time during the performance of a karaoke piece by simply performing PP production on a mail-order item in the background image of karaoke, and it will be decided later. Even so, it is difficult to remember exactly what the mail-order items introduced in the PP production that I saw were. Or, for example, even if a booklet or pamphlet containing mail order items is prepared separately, it is possible to easily identify the mail order items that have been produced by PP from all the mail order items posted on them. However, even if an item is introduced at the corner PP production, this will not be fully utilized.

  Therefore, the present invention allows each user to easily reconfirm after the performance of the mail-order items introduced in the PP effect etc. in the background image of the predetermined karaoke music, so that the introduction information for each user is provided. It is an object of the present invention to provide a karaoke performance device that allows a user to purchase a desired mail order item easily and efficiently while making full use of it and enjoying karaoke.

  In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor, for a mail-order item introduced by PP production in a background image corresponding to a predetermined performance music in a karaoke performance device, for each performance of the music, a predetermined introduction item recording unit Are recorded in a list, and the recorded mail-order items are displayed in a list at an arbitrary timing after the performance, and when the user designates a mail-order item desired to be purchased, the user ID is linked. Then, it is found that the above-mentioned problem can be solved by constructing a system for registering the mail-order item to be purchased in a predetermined purchase designation item registration unit, and the karaoke performance device with a mail-order item purchase function of the present invention is provided. I came up with it.

That is, the karaoke performance device with a mail-order item purchase function of the present invention has a user ID acquisition means, an introduction item recording means, an introduction item list display means, and a purchase designation item registration means. A karaoke performance device capable of purchasing desired mail order items,
(A) The user ID acquisition means acquires a user ID for identifying the user of the karaoke performance device,
(A) The introduction item recording means is a predetermined introduction for each item ID of the mail order item introduced in the background video for each performance of the reserved music corresponding to the background video in which any mail order item is incorporated. Record in the item recording section,
(C) The introduction item list display means, based on each item ID recorded in the introduction item recording unit, according to an arbitrary user instruction, various preset items for each introduction item corresponding to each item ID. From the item attribute data recording unit in which the attribute information is recorded , a list of the attribute information is displayed for those within a predetermined number of performances of the music corresponding to the background video in which the mail order item is incorporated ,
(D) The purchase designated item registration means associates the user ID and designates a purchase target when a mail-order item desired to be purchased is designated by an arbitrary user from the list display. Register mail order items in the specified purchase designated item registration unit,
It is characterized by that.

  According to the karaoke performance device with a mail-order item purchase function of the present invention, when a mail-order item is PP-produced in a predetermined karaoke background image, the mail-order item introduced is introduced for each performance of the music. In order to record and display a list, when a mail-order item desired to be purchased is specified from the list display, by registering it in a predetermined purchase specification item registration unit with a user ID associated with it, The introduced mail-order items can be easily confirmed by the user after the performance, and the user can fully utilize the introduction information for the user, and the user can easily and efficiently purchase desired mail-order items while enjoying karaoke. There are effects such as.

  Hereinafter, the optimal example is given about the karaoke performance apparatus with the mail order item purchase function of this invention, and the structure is explained in full detail.

  The hard disk device (3) is further provided with an introduction item recording unit (19), and the introduction item recording means (12) is provided for each performance of the reserved music corresponding to the background video in which an arbitrary mail-order item is incorporated. For each item ID introduced, the music ID data (19a) and the introduction item ID data (19b) are recorded in the introduction item recording unit (19). That is, when a musical piece corresponding to a background image produced by PP is played, an introduction item of the product or service is recorded.

  Next, a list display of introduction items will be described. When the introduction item list display means (13) receives an instruction to display the list of the introduction item data (19b) recorded in the introduction item recording unit (19), the introduction item data ( 19b) is displayed in list form on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) of the remote control device (5) or the display device (D) for displaying the background video / lyric telop. However, LCD is more convenient because it does not hinder karaoke performance with background video and lyrics telop display. The introduction item data (19b) is quoted from individual attribute information managed in the item attribute data recording unit (23) corresponding to each item ID. Then, when an arbitrary user designates a mail-order item desired to be purchased from the list display, the purchase designation item registration means (14) is a purchase designation item registration unit set in the hard disk device (3). In (20), purchase designation item data (20b) associated with the user ID data (20a) is registered.
