Character display from the knowledge of health promotion by action Since to possess calorie information which gave relevance to the user side, are those that can be achieved utilizing stimulate karaoke facilities, singing arouse.

Hereinafter, the best embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the positioning of a personal communication terminal on which a character display processing program based on calorie consumption according to the present invention is installed, FIG. 2 shows a configuration diagram of the personal communication terminal of FIG. 1, and FIG. The explanatory view of the memory | storage part regarding the character display of this is shown, and the block block diagram of the karaoke performance apparatus which concerns on 1st Embodiment of the singing scoring system in FIG. 1 is shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 1, a karaoke system 11 includes a karaoke performance device 12 and a single or a plurality of personal communication terminals 13 (13A, 13B, 13C...) Provided with a terminal display unit and specified by a terminal ID. It can be communicated freely.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the personal communication terminal 13 is owned by each system user. As shown in FIG. 2, a terminal display unit 22 having a control unit 21, a GUI 22A, a calorie consumption acquisition unit 23, a change character correspondence processing unit 24, a music reservation Means 25, a storage unit 26, and a wireless transmission / reception unit 27 are provided as appropriate. In the storage unit 26, storage areas of a character level specifying table 28, a changed character storage unit 29, and a calorie storage unit 30 are formed.

  The control unit 21 performs overall control of the personal communication terminal, and performs algorithm processing of a program stored in a ROM (not shown). Information on the terminal ID that identifies the personal communication terminal is stored in the control unit 21.

  The terminal display unit 22 is, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD), and the liquid crystal display (LCD) and a touch sensor are stacked for input / output, and the touch sensor corresponds to a displayed icon, an input screen, or the like. A user interface GUI 22A that can input a data group such as music selection and free pen input is provided. The calorie consumption obtaining means 23 is sent from the karaoke performance device 12 when the owner of the personal communication terminal 13 attaches a terminal ID to the karaoke performance device 12 described later and registers and sings a song. It is a program that acquires singing calorie consumption information.

  Although similar to the above, in the character level specifying table 28 of the storage unit 26, as shown in FIG. 3A, the retained calorie range and the character level of the character form corresponding to the range are stored in association with each other. Is. The calorie value is a calorie value calculated from the singing calorie consumption by singing from the time when the owner sets the character and the virtual intake calorie that is virtually taken every predetermined period (here, the unit is one day). It is allocated in the calorie range set appropriately. The character level is a level for specifying the weight increase / decrease form of the changing character (described with reference to FIG. 3B), and is set stepwise in a minus direction and a plus direction with reference to level zero. . Here, as an example, character levels are associated with each other in a range of 100 Kcal.

  The change character storage unit 29 of the storage unit 26 has a change character (image data) in the negative direction according to the calorie range, with level 0 as a basic form or reference form as shown in FIG. 3B. In accordance with the character level, the weight levels are sequentially created in accordance with the character level, and the weight levels in the positive direction are sequentially stored as a set. These character levels correspond to the character level specification table 28 described above. It is attached. The basic form (level 0) is a character created by the owner or selected from a character group prepared in advance. When creating or selecting the basic form of a change character, each part (for example, the head) Part, torso, limbs, etc.) and clothes are stored in the change character storage unit 29 and may be so-called custom-made to be selected by a combination of users.

  In addition to preparing a plurality of changing characters corresponding to the basic form as described above, although not particularly illustrated, only the basic form of two-dimensional data or three-dimensional data in which the weight increase / decrease form changes according to the coordinate value. It may be configured. For example, a three-dimensional local coordinate is defined as 3D CG (computer graphics), and the weight increase / decrease form can be expressed by giving a variable of the movement amount to the three-dimensional local coordinate. For example, this can be realized by setting a variable level value corresponding to a predetermined range of character calories in the character level specifying table 28.

  In this case, in expressing the weight increase / decrease form, a variable in one direction (for example, the X-axis direction) is sufficient, and in that sense, CG of two-dimensional data (one of the three-dimensional data may be treated as “0”). Even if it exists, it can be applied. In this case, the correspondence of the CG data to the weight increase / decrease form is set by, for example, setting a variable level value corresponding to a predetermined range of the character calories in the character level specifying table 28 and performing a matrix operation on the three-dimensional coordinates after conversion. This can be realized by a generally known affine transformation for obtaining the coordinate data.

  And the calorie memory | storage part 30 of the memory | storage part 26 records the calorie relevant to the character change corresponding to a holder, for example, as shown in FIG. The calorie consumption (Kcal) obtained by adding the virtual calorie intake assumed to be virtually ingested set for each predetermined period to the calorie retention) is calculated, and the singing consumption for each song in the karaoke performance apparatus 12 consumed from the retained calorie The retained calorie (Kcal) obtained by subtracting the calorie (Kcal) is recorded, for example, every day. Here, as described above, the owner of the personal communication terminal 13 is set as calorie intake that virtually ingests 30 Kcal on a daily basis.

Returning to the reference numerals, the change character correspondence processing means 24 calculates the stored calories that are ingested by the virtual intake calories every predetermined period based on the calorie storage unit 30 and stores them in the calorie storage unit 30. When the singing calorie consumption is acquired from the karaoke performance device 12, the calorie memory is calculated by subtracting the singing calorie consumption from the latest calorie consumption stored in the calorie storage unit 30 to calculate the calorie retention after singing. The character level corresponding to the retained calorie range is acquired from the character level specifying table 28 based on the stored latest retained calorie, and the character having the character level changed from the changed character storage unit 29. It is a program that extracts for display.

  For example, as shown on May 11, 2008 in FIG. 3 (C), whether or not singing is added to the previous holding calorie (240 Kcal) of the previous day, and 30 Kcal of the virtual intake calorie is added to hold the calorie (270 Kcal). When the karaoke performance device 12 is sung, the calorie holding calorie (150 Kcal) obtained by subtracting the singing calorie consumption (120 Kcal) acquired from the karaoke performance device 12 from the virtual calorie holding calorie (270 Kcal) is calculated. ) Is determined, a character level (level + 1) belonging to the calorie holding range of the character level specifying table 28 is specified, and a character at that level is extracted from the change character storage unit 29 so as to be displayed.

  In FIG. 3C, the personal communication terminal 13 temporarily stores the singing calorie sent from the karaoke performance device 12 in a RAM (not shown) and stores it as the total singing calorie consumption for one day. In this case, the singing calorie consumption information is transmitted from the karaoke performance device 12 for each singing, and the change character correspondence processing means 24 calculates each time and extracts the corresponding change character so that it can be displayed. Also good. Mostly, when the personal communication terminal 13 logs out, the karaoke performance device 12 transmits the total singing calorie consumption for one day, and the change character of the corresponding level according to the retained calorie obtained by subtracting the total singing calorie consumption. It is good also as extracting so that display is possible.

  The music reservation means 25 is a program that requests the karaoke performance apparatus 12 to make a reservation by associating a music with a terminal ID. For example, the music reservation format is displayed on the terminal display unit 22, and for example, the song name and artist name are displayed on the terminal display unit. 22 is input from the GUI 22A and transmitted to the karaoke performance apparatus 12. Although details will be described with reference to FIG. 4, in the karaoke performance device 12, the song reservation receiving means (50) identifies the song ID from the song name and artist name transmitted and registers the song ID in the reservation queue in association with the terminal ID. . Further, when index information corresponding to music is stored in advance in the personal communication terminal 13, the music ID of the music searched on the personal communication terminal 13 may be transmitted directly to the karaoke performance device 12. In this case, the music reservation receiving means (50) registers the transmitted music ID and the transmitted terminal ID of the personal communication terminal 13 in association with the reservation queue.

A notification unit 51 and a transmission / reception unit 52 are provided as appropriate. In addition, the RAM 44 has storage areas for the communication terminal information individual storage unit 53 and the reservation queue 54. In addition, even if it is an element part which is not directly related to the summary of this invention about each said structure, in order to show that most can be applied also in the conventional karaoke apparatus, the whole apparatus is demonstrated.

  The central control unit 42 is a physical CPU that performs overall processing control of the system, and performs algorithm processing based on a program stored in the ROM 43. The RAM 44 serves as a work area for developing and executing the various programs in addition to the storage areas for the communication terminal information individual storage unit 53 and the reservation queue 54 to be described later. It is a concept that includes a case where it is composed of a semiconductor memory and is virtually built on a hard disk.

  The music DB 45 stores note data and lyrics data for each music. Regarding performance, specifically, there is a music table in which a music ID, a music title, and an artist ID (artist name) are associated, and for each music, note data of a karaoke music in a predetermined data format managed by the music ID (for example, , MIDI (registered trademark) note data) and lyric data (lyric telop data) are composed of synchronized music data (files), each of which stores a music code as a file name and is stored in the video DB 46. Also, allocation data for allocating a predetermined number of scene videos for displaying the background video for each song is associated. The video DB 46 is a database that stores a predetermined number of scene video data for displaying a background video.

  The video playback control unit 47 synchronizes the lyric telop data (lyric character data) extracted from the music DB 45 with a predetermined number of scene video data and music code extracted from the video DB 46 at the time of performance with the note data of the music. This is an electronic circuit that outputs to the display unit 32. The music performance control unit 48 is an electronic circuit that digitally outputs the note data extracted from the music DB 45 by the music code, converts it into an analog signal, and outputs it to the mixing amplifier 33.

  The communication terminal registration means 49 is a program that acquires the terminal ID from the personal communication terminal 13 possessed by the user who uses the karaoke performance device 12 by a login process and stores it in the communication terminal information individual storage unit 53 of the RAM 44. is there. At this time, the user's name or nickname may be input and stored in the communication terminal information individual storage unit 53 of the RAM 44 in association with the terminal ID.

  For example, when a song name or an artist name is transmitted in response to a song reservation request attached with a terminal ID from a predetermined personal communication terminal 13 (music reservation unit 25), the song reservation receiving unit 50 The music ID is identified and the terminal ID is associated and registered in the reservation queue 54 of the RAM 44, and the music registered in the reservation queue 54 is played in order (described in FIG. 5).

  The singing calorie consumption notifying means 51 is a program for transmitting singing calorie consumption information for singing a song registered in the reservation queue 54 to a personal communication terminal having a terminal ID associated with the song. Each time a song is sung, a predetermined calorie consumption (for example, 30 Kcal in FIG. 3C) is set. In addition, the singing calorie consumption of the actual measurement value at the time of singing will be described with reference to FIG.

  The transmission / reception unit 52 is an electronic circuit and a program for enabling communication with each personal communication terminal 13 using a communication method and protocol corresponding to the personal communication terminal 13. Although not shown, the karaoke main body 31 includes a variable resistor and buttons and knobs for a user to directly input a music number, or to make various adjustments to the tempo of the performance music and the singing voice. An operation panel directly connected to an electronic element such as is also connected.

  Here, FIG. 5 shows an explanatory diagram of the reservation queue in FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 shows a processing explanatory diagram of the singing calorie consumption information notification. In FIG. 5A, for example, when a terminal ID is attached from the personal communication terminal 13A (music reservation means 25) and a music reservation request is made to the karaoke performance apparatus 12 based on, for example, the music title and artist name, the music reservation acceptance is received. The means 50 identifies the song ID from these song names and artist names, associates the terminal ID, and registers them in the reservation queue 54 of the RAM 44 in the order of reservation request as shown in FIG. The music registered in the reservation queue 54 is played in order, for example, according to a command from the central control unit 42.

  Then, in the karaoke performance device 12, as shown in FIG. 6, when the music registered in the reservation queue 54 is played, the terminal ID attached to the music of the performance information is given to the singing calorie consumption notification means 51. Sent out. When the singer who is the reservation person sings about the music performance and the singing is finished, the information of the singing calorie consumption calorie (previously 30 Kcal) determined by the singing calorie consumption calorie means 51 (single calorie consumption information) Is transmitted to the personal communication terminal 13A having the terminal ID attached to the music.

  FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of the character display processing based on the calories held by the personal communication terminal, and FIG. 8 shows an explanatory diagram of the character display and the like in FIG. 7A, in the personal communication terminal 13A, the change character correspondence processing means 24, if one day has passed since the previous singing (step (S1)), the previous day of the calorie storage unit 30 of the storage unit 26. The stored calorie value (previously held calorie value) is added to the virtual calorie intake (30 Kcal) for one day, and stored as the calorie corresponding to the virtual intake (S2).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the virtual calorie intake (30 Kcal) is added to the calorie retention (240 Kcal) of the previous day (May 10) to obtain the latest calorie retention (270 Kcal). The change character at this time is specified as level +2 from the character level specification table 28 as shown in FIG. 3B of the change character storage unit 29 (corresponding to the left display in FIG. 8B). Although it has been described that the virtual calorie intake is added every day, a period can be set as appropriate, such as a unit of two days or a unit of three days.

  Therefore, in FIG. 7B, when the calorie consumption acquisition means 23 acquires the singing calorie consumption information from the karaoke performance device 12 (S11), the change character correspondence processing means 24 stores the latest information from the calorie storage unit 30. The calorie (270 Kcal) is extracted (S12), the singing calorie consumption (120 Kcal) acquired from the karaoke performance device 12 is subtracted from the retained calorie (270 Kcal), and the subtracted retained calorie (150 Kcal) is stored in the calorie storage unit 30 ( S13). Then, based on the latest stored calorie (150 Kcal) stored, the character level specifying table 28 is referred to obtain a change character level (level + 1), and the change character corresponding to the level is stored as the change character storage unit 29. Extraction is performed so as to be more displayable (S14).

  Therefore, when there is a character display request by the holder of the personal communication terminal 13 (S15), the extracted changed character is, for example, before singing with added virtual calorie intake as shown in FIG. 8B. It displays on the terminal display part 22 with the change character corresponding to the holding | maintenance calorie (S16).

  On the other hand, in S11, when the singing calorie consumption information is not acquired from the karaoke performance device 12, in the change character correspondence processing means 24, the retained calorie (240 Kcal) reflecting the virtual intake calorie becomes the latest retained calorie. In this case, the changing character correspondence processing unit 24 acquires the changing character level (level +2) by referring to the character level specifying table 28 based on the latest held calorie (240 Kcal) reflecting the virtual intake calorie. The change character corresponding to the level is extracted from the change character storage unit 29 so as to be displayed (S14), and when a display request is made (S15), only the left character in FIG. 8B is displayed on the terminal. This is displayed on the part 22 (S16).

  In this way, the calorie information having the relevance to the character display from the knowledge of the health promotion by the singing action can be viewed at any time by the personal performance terminal 13A on the user side, and for example, FIG. As in (A) May 10, 2008, even when not singing, the personal communication terminal 13A carrying the character to which the virtual ingested calories are added can be displayed at any time. Thus, the use of karaoke facilities and singing can be promoted.

  Next, while FIG. 9 shows the explanatory view which concerns on 2nd Embodiment regarding the singing calorie consumption alert | report of the karaoke performance apparatus in FIG. 1, FIG. 10 shows explanatory drawing of an example of the calorie memory part in the personal terminal of 2nd Embodiment. Show. This embodiment shows the case where the singing calorie consumption is calculated based on the actual measurement at the time of singing. In the karaoke performance device 12, as shown in FIG. The A / D converter 62 is provided.

  The singing calorie consumption calculating means 61 samples, for example, the singing volume input from the microphone 34 via the A / D conversion unit 62 at a predetermined time interval and sequentially accumulates the integrated value according to a predetermined algorithm. This is a program for calculating the calorie consumption of singing by converting it into the calorie consumption of physical exercise. For example, the one described in Japanese Patent No. 3087701 can be applied to calculate the calorie consumption by singing in detail.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9 (B), when the music registered in the reservation queue 54 is played, the terminal ID attached to the music of the performance information is sent to the singing calorie consumption notifying means 51. . When the singer who is the reservation person sings for the music performance and the singing is finished, the singing calorie consumption calculation means 61 calculates the singing calorie consumption calorie, and the calculated singing calorie consumption The information is transmitted to the personal communication terminal 13A having the terminal ID attached to the music.

  The personal communication terminal 13A performs the same processing as in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, but as the singing calorie consumption of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the actual singing calorie consumption (actually measured with respect to the last held calorie 250Kcal). The singing calorie consumption 175 Kcal) is stored in the calorie storage unit 30 of the storage unit 26.

  In this way, in the karaoke performance device 12, the calorie consumption is calculated by actual measurement based on the singing sound volume, etc., so that the stored calorie is memorized with an increase or decrease closer to reality, and the change character is displayed on the terminal display unit 22. Therefore, in the same manner as described above, realistic calorie information having a relevance to the character display from the knowledge of the health promotion by the singing action can be visually recognized at any time by the personal performance terminal 13A on the user side. It will be possible to urge the use of karaoke facilities and singing.

  The character display processing method by calorie consumption of the present invention can be used for a computer software program for displaying a character on a personal communication terminal that can communicate with a karaoke system.

It is the schematic of positioning of the personal communication terminal by which the character display process program by the singing calorie consumption which concerns on this invention is mounted. It is a block diagram of the personal communication terminal of FIG. It is explanatory drawing of the memory | storage part regarding the character display of FIG.
