As the recorded contribution information of the two singers, the second information storage means stored in association with each other and the recorded posting information stored in the second information storage means based on a request signal from the external terminal Recording / reproducing means for outputting a reproduction signal of the recorded data to the external terminal, and a cumulative value of reproduction time or number of reproductions by the recording / reproducing means, one second person identification information and one second music identification information A totaling unit that counts for each piece of recorded posting information associated with each other, and either one of the karaoke apparatus and the server includes a plurality of the recorded posting information stored in the second information storage unit, Based on the singing history information of the first singer stored in the first information storage means, a plurality of second song identifications included in the recorded posting information and in common with the singing history information of the first singer By arranging at least a part of the information in association with the second person identification information related to each second music identification information in descending order of the cumulative value by the counting means, the first singer A list creating means for creating a recommended list of karaoke performance songs for the server, and after the creation of the recommended list by the list creating means, the second information storage means of the server includes the second person identification included in the recommended list When the new record posting information related to the information is stored, and the second song identification information related to the new record posting information is included in the singing history information of the first singer related to the recommended list And a list correction unit that performs a correction process corresponding to the new record posting information on the recommended list.

  The karaoke system of the first invention of the present application is provided with a function of storing a singer's singing history. That is, the first data identifying information relating to the karaoke performance performed at the time of singing by the singer (first singer) and the person identifying information relating to the first singer (first person identifying information) are the first data. It is output to the server by the transmission means. And the 1st information storage means of a server associates and memorize | stores these 1st music identification information and 1st person identification information as the said 1st song person's song history information.

  The karaoke system of the first invention of the present application is provided with a function of posting and storing a singer's singing record (only a moving image consisting of a singing sound and a camera image or a singing sound). That is, when the singer (second singer) sings, the singing state of the second singer (for example, a predetermined range of video or singing sound including the singer) is recorded by the recording means, and corresponding recording data; The music identification information (second music identification information) related to the karaoke performance sung by the second singer and the second person identification information related to the second singer are output to the server by the second data transmitting means. The And the 2nd information storage means of a server memorize | stores these recording data, 2nd music identification information, and 2nd person identification information in correlation with each other as said 2nd singer's recording contribution information. For example, when a request signal from an external terminal is input, the recording / playback information of the recorded data included in the recorded post information is output to the external terminal by the recording / playback unit of the server. Is done. Thereby, other users can listen to or watch the recorded data (hereinafter referred to as “viewing etc.” as appropriate). It should be noted that the total value of the reproduction time or the number of times of reproduction at the time of viewing or the like is totaled for each record posting information by the totaling means.

  Here, in the first invention of the present application, it is possible to recommend a post record suitable for a specific first singer in a list format by combining the two functions of storing the singing history and storing the post record. . That is, the list creation means is provided in either the karaoke apparatus or the server. In this list creation means, the second song identification information included in each of the plurality of record posting information is extracted from the song history information common to the specific first singer (that is, the first song). Karaoke performances that the person has sung in the past and recorded post information is picked up). At the same time, the plurality of pieces of second song identification information (or a part thereof) are arranged in correspondence with the second person identification information in descending order of the cumulative value of the totaled reproduction time (or number of reproductions). Thus, a recommended list of karaoke performances for the first singer is created. Thereby, the said 1st singer is especially popular among recorded data posted from other users (posting users) about karaoke performances that he can sing (for example, singing) It is possible to easily and quickly know recording data by a specific posting user who is strong and skilled and recording data by an attractive specific posting user with high entertainment properties.

  By the way, a specific posting user having high singing ability or high entertainment properties as described above, even after the recommended list is created, recorded data on a song different from the karaoke performance song extracted as described above. Is more likely to post. However, even in such a case, since the cumulative value of the playback time (or the number of playbacks) counted by the counting means is relatively small immediately after posting, even if the recommended list is recreated by the above method, Recording posting information including recording data is difficult to list.

  Therefore, in the first invention of the present application, list correction means is provided so that the specific first singer can quickly know the recording data posted separately. That is, after the recommended list is created, when new recorded posting information related to the second person identification information included in the list is stored in the second information storage means of the server (in other words, the specific posting user is newly added). And when the second song identification information related to the posting is included in the singing history information of the first singer (in detail, other posting users' Depending on the posting, there are cases where the recommendation list has already been entered and cases where the recommendation list has not yet been entered), a corresponding predetermined correction process is performed on the recommendation list.

  As an example of the correction process, if the second song identification information related to the posting has already been included in the recommended list by the posting of another posting user as described above, for example, the new record in the list New second person identification information is added to the second music identification information related to the posted information. At that time, the order of description of the original second person identification information and the new second person identification information associated with the second song identification information in the recommended list before addition is determined according to the cumulative value related to each. (Function of order determination means). For example, if the cumulative value of the original second person identification information is equal to or greater than the cumulative value of the new second person identification information, the original second person identification information has priority over the new second person identification information in the list. If the cumulative value of the original second person identification information is less than the cumulative value of the new second person identification information, for example, the new second person identification information is additionally written at the end. Inside, the new second person identification information is preferentially described over the original second person identification information (for example, the description order is changed).

  Alternatively, as another example of the correction process, if the second song identification information related to the posting has not yet entered the recommended list, for example, the second song identification information (list) included in the new recorded posting information Are not associated with the corresponding second person identification information (the person identification information of the specific posting user) and are newly added to the recommendation list (function of the record addition means).

  By performing the correction process as described above, the specific first singer can quickly know the recording data separately posted by the specific posting user who has high singing ability or high entertainment properties. Thereby, the specific first singer can enjoy various services using the recorded data (for example, singing together or performing a competition while playing the video eater). As a result, convenience can be improved.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the invention, the list correction unit has already included the second song identification information related to the new record posting information in the recommended list created by the list creation unit. In this case, the new second person identification information related to the new record posting information is added to the second song identification information in the recommendation list, and the second song is added to the recommendation list before the addition. It is an order determination means for determining the description order of the original second person identification information and the new second person identification information associated with the identification information in accordance with the cumulative value relating to each. And

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the invention, the list correction means includes the second song identification information related to the new record posting information in the recommended list created by the list creation means. If not, the second song identification information included in the new recorded posting information is associated with the second person identification information included in the new recorded posting information and newly added to the recommended list. It is a record adding means to be added.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, a singing user can know quickly new posting of a specific contribution user with high singing ability or high entertainment property, and the convenience can be improved.

Send (upload). This step S45 functions as the first data transmitting means described in each claim. Correspondingly, the song history storage unit 21 (corresponding to the first information storage means) of the host server 20 stores the uploaded song ID and user ID in association with each other as the song user's song history information. .

  When step S45 is completed, this flow ends.

<Posting by Posting User>
When the said contribution user sings in the 2nd karaoke apparatus 10B, for example, when the singing animation (equivalent to an example of a singing state) including the state of the said singing is posted, the control procedure performed in the said 2nd karaoke apparatus 10B is illustrated. 3 will be described. The same steps as those in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted or simplified as appropriate. In FIG. 3, for example, this flow is started when the power of the second karaoke apparatus 10B is turned on by a karaoke manager (not shown).

  First, in step S10, as in FIG. 2, the control unit 101 of the second karaoke apparatus 10B determines whether or not a karaoke performance song has been reserved by a posting user (corresponding to a second singer). When the posting user inputs his / her own user ID (corresponding to the second person identification information) and logs in and performs a karaoke performance music reservation operation, the posting user obtains the music ID (corresponding to the second music identification information). Reservations are accepted. If the posting user reserves a karaoke performance piece in this way, the determination is satisfied and the routine goes to Step S15.

  In step S15, the control unit 101 of the second karaoke apparatus 10B, like FIG. 2 above, records music data, background video data, lyric data, etc. from the large-capacity storage device 103 based on the reservation of karaoke performance songs in step S10. , And the display unit 109 is started to display the background video data and the lyrics data while the sound source 106 and the like start reproducing the music data. Thereby, the contribution user can sing the karaoke performance music reproduced | regenerated based on music data. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S20.

  In step S <b> 20, the control unit 101 outputs a control signal to the camera 40, and the camera 40 takes a video of a predetermined range of view including the appearance of the posting user singing a karaoke performance song in the karaoke room KR. (However, the predetermined range in a state where there is no singer may be captured as a moving image), and recording of the captured moving image is started. Video data acquired by moving image recording is stored in the mass storage device 103. At this time, the voice data of the user's karaoke song acquired by the microphone 30 is also attached to the video data of the karaoke song and stored in the large-capacity storage device 103. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S40.

  In step S40, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the reproduction of the music data started to be reproduced in step S15 is completed, as in FIG. If the reproduction of the music data does not end and the determination is not satisfied, the procedures of step S15, step S20, and step S40 are repeated. When the reproduction of the music data is completed, the determination is satisfied, and the routine goes to Step S45 ′.

  In step S45 ′, the control unit 101 uses the video data and singing voice data (hereinafter referred to as “posted video data” as appropriate) corresponding to the recording data described in each claim) stored in the above-described step S20. Read from. Then, the posted moving image data is associated with the song ID of the karaoke performance song acquired in the reservation of the song at step S10 and the user ID of the posting user, and the posted information (corresponding to the recorded posting information). Transmit (upload) to the host server 20. This step S45 'functions as the second data transmitting means described in each claim. Correspondingly, the posted moving image storage unit 22 (corresponding to the second information storage unit) of the host server 20 uses the uploaded posted moving image data, the song ID, and the user ID as the posted information of the posting user. Store them in association with each other.

  In addition, post information (including song ID, user ID, and post video data) of a plurality of post users stored in the post video storage unit 22 as described above is, for example, the external terminal P, the karaoke device 10A, A request signal based on an appropriate operation of a user at 10B (hereinafter referred to as “external terminal P or the like as appropriate”) (may be the singing user, the posting user, or another third party user). Based on the above, the moving image playback unit 23 (corresponding to the recording / playback means) of the host server 20 outputs a playback signal of the posted moving image data in the posted information to the external terminal P or the like. Accordingly, the user can view the posted moving image data on the external terminal P or the like.

  In addition, whenever the posted video data is played back and viewed by the user as described above, the playback counting unit 24 (corresponding to the counting means) of the host server 20 plays the playback time (or the number of playbacks) of the posted video data. Is accumulated for each posted video data.

  When step S45 'is completed as described above, this flow ends.

<Create recommendation list>
Next, based on the singing user's singing history and the posted video data posted and stored by the posting user, the list processing unit 25 of the host server 20 performs a “recommendation list” creation process for the singing user. (Hereinafter simply referred to as “list creation processing” as appropriate) will be described.

  A detailed procedure of the list creation processing executed by the list processing unit 25 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, first, in step S110, the list processing unit 25 accesses the singing history storage unit 21 based on the user ID of the singing user, and acquires the user singing history of the singing user. FIG. 5A shows an example of a list of singing histories acquired at this time. In this example, the song ID of the song that the singing user has sung in the past (in the above example, with the first karaoke apparatus 10A) is three songs “Song 123”, “Song 234”, and “Song 345”. It is. When step S110 ends, the process proceeds to step S120.

  In step S120, the list processing unit 25 accesses the posted moving image storage unit 22 and the reproduction totaling unit 24, and reproduces the plurality of posted moving image data stored in the posted moving image storage unit 22 by the reproduction time (or the other user). Sort in descending order of the number of times of reproduction) and generate a reproduction ranking. FIG. 5B shows an example of the reproduction ranking generated at this time (from the first place to the 1000th place). In this example, the most frequently played back by the user is the posted moving image data of “Song 999” by the user of “ID1”. Similarly, the second place is the posted moving image data of “Song 998” by the user of “ID2”, the third place is the posted moving image data of “Song 123” by the user of “ID1”, and the fourth place is “ The posted moving image data of “Song 997” by the user of “ID3”, and the fifth place is the posted moving image data of “Song 345” by the user of “ID4”. When step S120 is completed in this way, the process proceeds to step S130.

  In step S130, the list processing unit 25, based on the singing history acquired in step S110 and the playback ranking generated in step S120, selects the song ID included in the singing history from the playback ranking. And a record of the posted moving image data, which is a common song ID. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S140.

  In step S140, the list processing unit 25 arranges a predetermined number (for example, five) of the records extracted in step S130 in the order in which the reproduction ranking is higher, so that the “recommended list” for the singing user is arranged. ". FIG. 5C shows an example of the generated “recommendation list”. In this example, among the reproduction rankings of the posted moving image data shown in FIG. 5B, “Song 123” by the user of “ID1” related to the same song as the singing history of the singing user shown in FIG. "Posted moving picture data (ranking third place)" and "ID3" user's posted moving picture data (ranking fifth place) are extracted. In accordance with the above ranking, the posted video data of “Song 123” by the user of “ID1” is described at the top (first level) of the recommendation list, and “ID4” is recorded next (second level). The posted moving image data of “Song 345” by the user is described.

  The “recommendation list” created as described above is obtained by, for example, performing the appropriate operation after the login from the first karaoke device 10A (or the external terminal P) by the singing user. 109 (or external terminal P). Thereby, the said singing user is especially popular among the posted video data posted from other users (the above posting users) about karaoke performances that he can sing (for example, singing) It is possible to easily and quickly know posted video data by a specific posting user who is powerful and skilled, and posted video data by an attractive specific posting user with high entertainment properties.

  When step S140 is finished, this flow is finished. With the above processing, the list processing unit 25 functions as a list creation unit described in each claim.

<Revision of recommended list>
By the way, a specific posting user having high singing ability or high entertainment properties as described above is extracted as described above and created in the “recommended list” even after the “recommended list” for the singing user is created. There is a high possibility of further posting the posted video data for a song different from the described karaoke performance song. However, even in such a case, immediately after posting, since the cumulative value of the reproduction time (or the number of reproductions) totalized by the reproduction totaling unit 24 as described above becomes relatively small, the “recommended list” using the above method is used. Even if it is re-created, the posted video data is difficult to list.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the “recommended list” is corrected by the list processing unit 25 so that the singing user can quickly know the posted moving image data newly posted by the specific posting user. Is called. The “recommended list” correction process (hereinafter simply referred to as “list correction process” as appropriate) performed by the list processing unit 25 will be described.

  The detailed procedure of the list correction process executed by the list processing unit 25 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 6, first, in step S110, the list processing unit 25 accesses the posted moving image storage unit 22, and the specific posted user whose user ID is already described in the “recommended list” is newly posted moving image. Determine whether you uploaded (posted) data. If there is no new upload, the determination in step S210 is not satisfied (S210: NO), and this flow ends. If there is a new upload, the determination at Step S210 is satisfied (S210: YES), and the routine goes to Step S220.

  In step S220, the list processing unit 25 accesses the singing history storage unit 21, and whether or not the song related to the posted video data newly uploaded by the specific posting user is included in the singing history of the singing user. (Whether or not the song user has sung). If it is not included in the singing history, the determination in step S220 is not satisfied (S220: NO), and this flow ends. If it is included in the singing history, the determination at Step S220 is satisfied (S220: YES), and the routine goes to Step S230. The fact that the song related to the posted video data newly uploaded by the specific posting user is included in the singing user's singing history can be sung because the singing user has already sung the song. It is shown that.

  In step S230, the list processing unit 25 determines whether the posted moving image data newly uploaded by the specific posting user is already included in the “recommended list” as a record. If it is not included in the “recommendation list”, the determination in step S230 is not satisfied (S230: NO), and the process proceeds to step S240. If it is included in the “recommendation list”, the determination in step S230 is satisfied (S230: YES), and the process proceeds to step S250.

  In step S240, the list processing unit 25 generates a new record related to the posted moving image data newly uploaded by the specific posting user and adds it to the “recommended list”. This is because a posting user (a person who has high singing ability or high popularity and played many times) posted a new song that can be sung by a singing user. This means that if you select and play this posted video, you will be able to sing along with an attractive and highly entertaining video (also known as collaboration playback). FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B show the reproduction ranking and the additional processing at this time.

  In the reproduction ranking shown in FIG. 7A, in this example, posted video data (posted video data related to “Song 234”) is newly uploaded by the specific posting user (user of “ID1”) and ranked. Represents the state newly added to the lowest position (the 1001st place). The user of “ID1” is already included in the “recommended list” by the posted moving image data of the “song 123”, but the posted data itself of the “song 123” is not yet included in the “recommended list”. Therefore, in this case, as shown in FIG. 7B, a record of the posted moving image data of “Song 234” by the user of “ID1” is newly generated, and “Song 123” by the user of “ID1” which has already been described. "And the record of the posted moving image data of" Song 345 "by the user of" ID4 ". By this processing, the list processing unit 25 also functions as a record addition unit and a list correction unit described in each claim.

  On the other hand, in step S250, the list processing unit 25 has already generated a record by another specific posting user and has been included in the “recommended list” for the posted video data newly uploaded by the specific posting user. Thus, the notation of the user ID in the list is changed so that the one with the higher playback ranking is preferentially displayed among the specific user and the other specific posting user. FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B show the reproduction ranking and the notation changing process at this time.

In the reproduction ranking shown in FIG. 8A, in this example, posted video data (posted video data related to “Song 345”) is newly uploaded by the specific posting user (user of “ID1”) and ranked. Represents the state newly added to the lowest position (the 1001st place). The user of “ID1” is already included in the “recommended list” by the posted video data of “Song 123”, and the posted video data of “Song 345” is a record of the posted video data of the user of “ID4”. Already included in the “Recommendation List”. In the playback ranking, the ranking of the posted video data of the user “ID4” of “Song 345” (5th) is the ranking of the posted video data of the user “ID1” of “Song 345” (1001). Is higher than. Therefore, in this case, as shown in FIG. 8B, the user ID “ID1” is additionally described at the end of the posted video data record of “Song 345” having the user ID “ID4” already described. The In this case, the ranking of the posted video data of the user “ID1” of “Song 345” at this time is higher than the ranking of the posted video data of the user “ID4” of “Song 345”. In the case of the recorded moving image data record of “Song 345”, the user ID “ID1” is described first, and the user ID “ID4” It is described (not shown). By this processing, the list processing unit 25 also functions as an order determination unit and a list correction unit described in each claim.
This indicates that there are a plurality of specific posting users who can perform attractive collaboration reproduction on songs that can be sung by the singing user. Also, in FIG. 8B, a posted moving image of a specific posting user who is less likely to fail by placing “ID4” that has been reproduced for the song above the “ID1” (left side). Can be determined.

  Note that the “recommendation list” corrected as described above is corrected, for example, when the singing user performs an appropriate operation after the login from the first karaoke apparatus 10A (or the external terminal P). Is reflected on the display unit 109 (or the external terminal P). Thereby, the said singing user can know immediately the contribution animation data posted separately by the said specific contribution user with high singing ability or high entertainment property. When step S240 or step S250 is finished, this flow is finished.

<Effect of embodiment>
As described above, in the present embodiment, a specific posting user who has already been described in the “recommended list” for the singing user (who has high singing ability or high entertainment properties) has posted video data for another song. Even in the case of further posting, the singing user can quickly know the posted video data posted separately. Thereby, the singing user can enjoy various services by using the posted moving image data (for example, performing a collaboration reproduction such as singing together or performing a competition while reproducing the video data). it can. As a result, convenience can be improved.

  In the above, the flowcharts shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 6, etc. are not intended to limit the present invention to the procedure shown in the above-mentioned flow, but are within the scope not departing from the spirit and technical idea of the invention. May be added / deleted or the order may be changed.

  Moreover, in the above, as a singing state, the case where the singing moving image including the state of the singing user's singing is recorded and posted (that is, when the posted moving image data including the video data and the singing voice data becomes the recording data) Although described as an example, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the present invention can be applied even when data (posted audio data) that does not include video data and includes singing audio data is the recording data. In this case, the ranking related to the posted audio data is generated by the same method as described above, a “recommended list” for the singing user including the record of the posted audio data is generated, and the same correction processing as described above is performed. In this case, the same effect as the above embodiment is obtained.

  In the above description, the “recommendation list” is created and corrected (see FIGS. 4 and 6) on the host server 20 side, but is not limited thereto, and may be performed on the karaoke apparatuses 1A and 1B. . In this case, the same effect is obtained.
