Description

  The present invention relates to a karaoke apparatus.

  There are various timings at which a singer who uses the karaoke apparatus sings music. For example, in the case of enjoying karaoke with an energetic friend, each person reserves music at free timing and sings in the reserved order.

  In consideration of the reservation timing of music, for example, in Patent Document 1, in a karaoke apparatus that performs sequentially according to music IDs registered in a queue, if a music ID without time designation information is received, it is registered in the queue. When a music ID with time designation information is received, it is registered in the memory, a time value based on the time designation information is preset and a timer is started, and when the timer expires, the music ID registered in the memory is interrupted at the head of the queue The technique to register is disclosed. According to such a karaoke apparatus, the performance of the reserved music can be postponed for a certain period of time, and singing can be performed according to the convenience of each person.

JP 2008-310265 A

  On the other hand, like singing at night shops such as snacks and karaoke cafes, people who are not acquainted (including those who are acquainted with each other even if they are acquainted with each other) gather together to sing karaoke. In this case, a situation that is different from karaoke singing in a group is born.

  For example, those who are not acquainted do not know how much the difference between their singing level and the singing level of others is. Therefore, if the music is reserved at an appropriate timing, there is a possibility that a good singer who can obtain a high score by the scoring function will continue to sing and then sing. In this case, it may be difficult to perform your own singing due to concerns that the atmosphere of the place where you have been drunk with good singing may be damaged by your singing. It is possible. As described above, there is a case where the user cannot fully enjoy the karaoke singing although he / she visits the store to enjoy the karaoke singing.

  With the technique of Patent Document 1, it is difficult to make a singing at a timing desired by oneself because it is not possible to make a reservation for a song in consideration of the singing level of other singers. In addition, for example, it is conceivable to reserve a song after grasping the singing level of another singer, but it is complicated because it is necessary to always check the singing level of the other singers. Furthermore, even if an attempt is made to grasp the singing level of another person and make a reservation for a song, it is not always possible to make a reservation at a timing that one desires, such as being overtaken by another person.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a karaoke apparatus capable of singing music at a timing desired by the user.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, a karaoke apparatus according to claim 1 is a karaoke apparatus that plays music according to the order of music IDs registered in a queue. A scoring unit that evaluates skill and calculates a scoring value, a scoring value registration unit that registers the calculated scoring value in a scoring value storage unit according to the order of performance of the music, and a song selected by the singer When a reservation condition including a predetermined scoring value is not added to the corresponding music ID, the music ID is registered at the end of the queue, and the reservation condition is added to the music ID. Is a reservation registration unit for registering the music ID to which the reservation condition is added in the temporary reservation storage unit, and a comparison target scoring acquired from the scoring value registered in the scoring value storage unit based on the reservation condition. A determination unit that determines whether or not the value satisfies the reservation condition, and a music to which the reservation condition registered in the temporary reservation storage unit is added when it is determined that the value satisfies the reservation condition An interrupt registration unit for registering an ID at the head of the queue.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the karaoke apparatus according to claim 2 is a karaoke apparatus that plays music according to the order of the music IDs registered in the queue. The genre registration unit registered in the genre storage unit according to the order of performance and the music ID corresponding to the music selected by the singer are not added with a reservation condition including the genre of the music, the music ID is The reservation registration unit that registers at the end of the queue and registers the music ID to which the reservation condition is added in the temporary reservation storage unit when the reservation condition is added to the music ID, and the reservation condition A determination unit that determines whether or not a comparison target genre acquired from the genre registered in the genre storage unit satisfies the reservation condition; If it is determined that meets the serial reservation condition, and a interrupt registration unit in which the music ID to the reservation conditions registered is added to the provisional reservation storage unit, and registers the head of the queue.

  According to the present invention, since the music ID can be registered in the queue (reservation of music) based on the reservation condition, the music can be sung at a timing desired by the user.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration example of the karaoke main body 10. The karaoke main body 10 includes a control unit 11, a communication unit 12, a storage unit 13, an acoustic processing unit 14, a display processing unit 15, and an operation unit 16. Each component is connected to the bus B via an interface (not shown).

  The control unit 11 includes a CPU 11a and a memory 11b. The CPU 11a implements various control functions by executing the operation program stored in the memory 11b. The memory 11b is a storage device that stores a program to be executed by the CPU 11a and temporarily stores various types of information when the program is executed.

  The communication unit 12 provides an interface for connecting the karaoke main unit 10 to a communication line via a router (not shown).

  The storage unit 13 is a large-capacity storage device that stores various data, and is, for example, a hard disk drive.

  The storage unit 13 stores a plurality of music data. The music data is data for performing karaoke performance by the karaoke apparatus 1. When the karaoke apparatus 1 plays music based on music data, the singer can sing karaoke. The music data is given a predetermined ID (music ID) for each music.

  The music data includes MIDI data, lyrics data, reference data, and the like. MIDI data is karaoke performance data for automatically playing a sound source of an electronic musical instrument, and is composed of time-series note information. The note information is composed of various commands for controlling, for example, the timing of sound generation and mute, key pressing force, pitch, and playback pitch. The lyric data is character string data for causing the display device 30 to display the lyrics telop in the karaoke music. The lyric data is preset for each music piece. The reference data is data serving as a reference when scoring a karaoke song by a user, and is composed of time-series pitch information representing the pitch of a vocal.

  In addition, the storage unit 13 stores video data such as a background image and a character displayed on the display device 30 during karaoke performance.

  Note that the music data and video data used in the karaoke apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment are not stored in the storage unit 13 but may be data directly acquired from a server (not shown).

  Based on the control of the control unit 11, the acoustic processing unit 14 controls performance of the karaoke music and processes an audio signal input through the microphone 40. The acoustic processing unit 14 includes, for example, a MIDI sound source, a mixer, and an amplifier (all not shown). The MIDI sound source generates a musical sound signal based on the music data. The mixer mixes the music signal and the audio signal output from the microphone 40 at an appropriate ratio and outputs the mixed signal to the amplifier. The amplifier amplifies the mixing signal from the mixer and outputs the amplified signal to the speaker 20 as a sound emission signal. Thereby, the karaoke performance sound based on the sound emission signal and the singing voice from the microphone 40 are emitted from the speaker 20.

  The display processing unit 15 performs processing related to various displays on the display device 30 based on the control of the control unit 11.

To do. The control unit 11 detects an operation signal from the operation unit 16 and executes a corresponding process. As a specific example, the singer operates the remote control device 50 and inputs the name of a song to be sung. The operation unit 16 transmits a reservation signal including a music ID corresponding to the input music name or the like to the control unit 11. Based on the received reservation signal, the control unit 11 sequentially stores the music IDs in the memory 11b (or the storage unit 13), and manages the music IDs stored in the order of reception as a queue for performance processing.

(Software configuration)
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a software configuration example of the karaoke main body 10. The karaoke main body 10 includes a scoring unit 100, a scoring value registration unit 200, a scoring value storage unit 300, a reservation registration unit 400, a provisional reservation storage unit 500, a determination unit 600, and an interrupt registration unit 700.

  The control unit 11 functions as a scoring unit 100, a scoring value registration unit 200, a reservation registration unit 400, a determination unit 600, and an interrupt registration unit 700 by executing a predetermined program. The scoring value storage unit 300 and the provisional reservation storage unit 500 are realized as part of a storage area provided by the memory 11b or the storage unit 13.

  The scoring unit 100 calculates the scoring value by evaluating the skill of the singing voice input to the microphone in accordance with the performance of the music. A known method can be used to calculate the scoring value. For example, when the singer performs a song of a certain song, the scoring unit 100 acquires a song voice signal based on the song. And the scoring part 100 calculates the scoring value based on a pitch by reading the reference data corresponding to the said music from the memory | storage part 13, and comparing the acquired song audio | voice signal and reference data. The scoring value is calculated as score information in the range of 0 to 100 points, for example. Note that the scoring unit 100 may calculate not only the scoring value based on the pitch but also a comprehensive evaluation that combines the singing volume and timing (rhythm), and the evaluation result of the singing technique, as the scoring value.

  The scoring value registration unit 200 registers the scoring values calculated by the scoring unit 100 in the scoring value storage unit 300 in accordance with the performance order of the music.

  The reservation registering unit 400 registers the music ID at the end of the queue when a reservation condition including a predetermined scoring value is not added to the music ID corresponding to the music selected by the singer. In addition, when a reservation condition is added to the input music ID, the reservation registration unit 400 registers the music ID to which the reservation condition is added in the temporary reservation storage unit 500.

  The song ID corresponding to the song selected by the singer is the song ID corresponding to the song name or the like input by the singer using the remote controller 50 or the like. The reservation condition is a condition for determining the timing for playing a song corresponding to the input song ID (the timing at which the singer sings). In the present embodiment, the reservation condition includes a predetermined scoring value.

  When the reservation condition is not added to the input music ID, the singer does not particularly want to set the reservation condition. The case where the reservation condition is not added may be, for example, a case where he / she is confident in his / her singing or a case where he / she sings with his / her friend. In this case, the reservation registration unit 400 registers the song ID corresponding to the selected song at the end of the queue.

  On the other hand, for example, a singer who is not confident in singing wants to avoid singing at such a timing because it may impair the atmosphere of the place by singing after a high-scoring singer continues. You may feel it. In this case, the singer can add a reservation condition when selecting music with the remote controller 50. For example, the singer inputs reservation conditions on the display of the remote controller 50. The remote controller 50 adds the reservation condition to the music ID and transmits it to the karaoke main body 10. When the reservation registration unit 400 receives the music ID to which the reservation condition is added via the operation unit 16, the reservation registration unit 400 registers in the temporary reservation storage unit 500 to make a temporary reservation of the music.

  The reservation conditions can have various contents. For example, a specific scoring value such as “the scoring value of a singer who is currently singing is 70 or less” can be designated. Alternatively, it is possible to give a range to the scoring value such as “within 60 to 80 points”. In addition, a setting based on the scoring value of a plurality of people such as “the average value of the last five singing is 75 points or less”, or “a singer who sang before the scoring value of a singer who is currently singing is 80 points or less. A detailed setting such as “scoring value is higher than the scoring value of the singer who is currently singing (the scoring value is moving downward)” is also possible.

  Here, a setting example of the reservation condition will be described with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B. 4A and 4B show a display of the remote control device 50. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, when the singer selects the music piece X, the display processing unit 15 displays a window W1 for confirming whether or not the reservation condition is set. When “No” is selected, the remote control device 50 transmits the song ID corresponding to the song X to the karaoke main body 10. The reservation registration unit 400 registers the music ID corresponding to the received music X at the end of the queue. On the other hand, when “Yes” is selected, the display processing unit 15 displays a window W2 and a window W3 as shown in FIG. 4B. The window W2 is an area in which a plurality of reservation conditions in which the scoring value portion is blank are displayed as options. The window W3 is an area for inputting a specific numerical value as a predetermined scoring value. The singer selects one reservation condition via the remote controller 50 or the like (the check box is checked in FIG. 4B), and inputs a specific scoring value (70 points in FIG. 4B) in the window W3. To do. When the determination icon D is selected, the remote controller 50 adds the reservation condition set to the music ID and transmits it to the karaoke main body 10. The reservation registration unit 400 registers the music ID to which the reservation condition is added in the temporary reservation storage unit 500.

  In addition, when the singer has sung the selected music several times in the past, the following settings are possible for the scoring value included in the reservation condition. For example, a singer who has a personal ID corresponding to a karaoke system including the karaoke device 1 inputs the personal ID, or causes the karaoke device 1 to read an IC card in which the personal ID is stored. Log in to A server (not shown) reads past scoring histories such as the average value of the music sung by the singer in the past and the latest scoring value from the music ID corresponding to the selected music and the personal singing history. To the karaoke apparatus 1. The remote controller 50 can automatically set a value based on the past scoring history as a scoring value for the reservation condition.

  Based on the reservation condition added to the song ID registered in the temporary reservation storage unit 500, the determination unit 600 determines that the comparison target scoring value acquired from the scoring value registered in the scoring value storage unit 300 is the reservation condition. It is determined whether or not When the music ID to which the reservation condition is added is registered in the temporary reservation storage unit 500, the scoring value registration unit 200 registers the scoring value calculated by the scoring unit 100 in the scoring value storage unit 300, and a signal to that effect Is transmitted to the determination unit 600. Whenever the scoring value registration signal is received from the scoring value registration unit 200, the determination unit 600 compares the reservation condition with the reservation condition and determines whether the reservation condition is satisfied. The scoring value (comparison scoring value) to be compared with the reservation condition is determined based on the reservation condition. For example, when the reservation condition is “scoring value of the singer who is currently singing”, the determination unit 600 registers the scoring value of the singer who is currently singing in the scoring value storage unit 300. The value is acquired as a comparison target scoring value and compared with the scoring value shown in the reservation condition. Alternatively, in the case where the reservation condition is “average value of scoring values of the last three names”, the determination unit 600 obtains from the scoring values of the last three names among the scoring values registered in the scoring value storage unit 300. The obtained average value is acquired as a comparison target scoring value and compared with the scoring value indicated in the reservation condition.

  When determining unit 600 determines that the reservation condition is satisfied, it transmits a signal to that effect to interrupt registering unit 700. On the other hand, if it is determined that the score is not satisfied, the determination unit 600 repeats the same process again after receiving the score value registration signal from the score value registration unit 200 of the next song.

  When the determination unit 600 determines that the reservation condition is satisfied, the interrupt registration unit 700 registers the music ID added with the reservation condition registered in the temporary reservation storage unit 500 at the head of the queue. .

  In addition, there may be a case where the reservation condition set by the user is not satisfied indefinitely (for example, when a reservation condition of a scoring value of 80 points or less is set, other singers do not satisfy the condition). In this case, for example, the reservation registration unit 400 may perform a process of registering the music ID in the queue when there is no music input for a predetermined time or longer. The fact that there is no input of music for a predetermined time or more means that other singers are not singing during that time, so the possibility of damaging the atmosphere of the place is reduced. Alternatively, when the reservation condition is not satisfied for a predetermined time or more, the reservation registration unit 400 may perform a process of automatically deleting information registered in the temporary reservation storage unit 500. Furthermore, even when a music piece to which a reservation condition is added is reserved in a scene where the music piece is not played for a predetermined time or more, the possibility that the atmosphere of the place is impaired is reduced. In such a case, the reservation registration unit 400 may perform a process of directly registering in the queue without registering in the temporary reservation storage unit 500.

== About the operation of the karaoke apparatus 1 ==
Next, a specific example of the operation of the karaoke apparatus 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the karaoke apparatus 1. Further, in this example, it is assumed that the scoring values obtained by singing a plurality of singers are registered in the scoring value storage unit 300 in advance.

  The singer selects a music piece via the remote control device 50 (selection of music piece, step 10). The singer can set a reservation condition including a predetermined scoring value when selecting a song. The remote control device 50 transmits the song ID corresponding to the selected song to the karaoke main body 10.

  When a reservation condition is added to the music ID received by the remote controller 50 (in the case of Y in step 11), the reservation registration unit 400 registers the music ID in the temporary reservation storage unit 500 (temporary reservation, step 12). ).

  On the other hand, when the reservation condition is not added to the music ID received by the remote controller 50 (N in Step 11), the reservation registration unit 400 registers the music ID at the end of the queue (the end of the queue). Step 15).

  The scoring value registration unit 200 registers the scoring value in the scoring value storage unit 300 every time a scoring value is calculated by the scoring unit 100 with the provisional reservation as an opportunity, and notifies the judgment unit 600 of that. The determination unit 600 is registered in the scoring value storage unit 300 based on the reservation condition added to the music ID registered in the temporary reservation storage unit 500 every time a scoring value is registered in the scoring value storage unit 300. The comparison target scoring value acquired from the scoring value being compared is compared with the reservation condition set in step 10, and it is determined whether or not the comparison target scoring value satisfies the reservation condition (whether the reservation condition is satisfied). 13).

  If the reservation condition is satisfied (Y in step 13), the determination unit 600 notifies the interrupt registration unit 700 to that effect. The interrupt registration unit 700 registers the music ID at the head of the queue (interrupt registration, step 14).

  On the other hand, when the reservation condition is not satisfied (N in Step 13), the determination unit 600 performs the same comparison process again at the timing when the score value of the next singer is registered in the score value storage unit 300. .

  The karaoke main body 10 plays the music pieces registered in the queue according to the order (playing the music piece, step 16).

  Thus, according to the karaoke apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment, when reservation conditions are satisfy | filled at the timing before the end of the singing by which the scoring value which is a singing level of another singer is calculated, music ID is made into a queue. Even if a song registered in the queue is canceled before playing or an interrupted song enters the middle of the queue for registration (reservation of the song), the song should be sung at the timing you want. Can do. In other words, even if it is a place where people who are not acquainted can enjoy karaoke, singing for them by simply making a tentative reservation for the song they want to sing at any time without considering the singing level of other singers The performance starts in an easy-to-break situation. Therefore, it is possible to avoid anxiety that a singer who has a higher singing level than himself / herself may be sung, or a situation contrary to the intention of damaging the atmosphere of the place due to his / her singing.

Second Embodiment
Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the karaoke apparatus 1 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated. One of the causes of damaging the atmosphere in places where people who are not acquainted enjoy karaoke is the genre selection of music. For example, while bright music is sung and the venue is exciting, suddenly singing dark music, or singing minor Western music by one person while major Japanese music is sung. The atmosphere may be impaired. In the present embodiment, the karaoke apparatus 1 that enables a song to be sung at a timing desired by the user without regard to the genre of the song sung by another singer will be described. Detailed description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment will be omitted.

(Software configuration)
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a software configuration example of the karaoke main body 10. The karaoke main body 10 according to the present embodiment includes a reservation registration unit 400, a provisional reservation storage unit 500, a determination unit 600, an interrupt registration unit 700, a genre registration unit 800, and a genre storage unit 900.

  The control unit 11 functions as a reservation registration unit 400, a determination unit 600, an interrupt registration unit 700, and a genre registration unit 800 by executing a predetermined program. The temporary reservation storage unit 500 and the genre storage unit 900 are realized as part of a storage area provided by the memory 11b or the storage unit 13.

  The genre registration unit 800 registers the genre of the music to be played in the genre storage unit 900 according to the order of the music performance. The genre of the music is preset for each music and is associated with the music ID. The information set as the genre includes, for example, music classification (pops, rock, enka, animation, etc.), tone (bright, dark, quiet, etc.), singer gender (male, female, duet, etc.), age (1980s) , 1990s, 2000s, etc.), languages (Japanese, English, etc.), and other additional information (such as TV and CM tie-up songs).

  When the reservation condition including the genre of the music is not added to the music ID corresponding to the music selected by the reserved singer, the reservation registration unit 400 according to the present embodiment displays the music ID at the end of the queue. Register with. In addition, when a reservation condition is added to the music ID, the reservation registration unit 400 registers the music ID with the reservation condition added in the temporary reservation storage unit 500.

  For example, a singer who wants to sing a musical piece of dark genre may feel that he wants to avoid singing at a timing when a bright musical piece is sung because the atmosphere of the place may be impaired. In this case, the singer can add a reservation condition including the genre of the music when selecting the music with the remote controller 50. For example, the singer inputs reservation conditions on the display of the remote controller 50. The remote controller 50 adds the reservation condition to the music ID and transmits it to the karaoke main body 10. When the reservation registration unit 400 receives the music ID to which the reservation condition is added via the operation unit 16, the reservation registration unit 400 registers in the temporary reservation storage unit 500 to make a temporary reservation of the music.

  The reservation conditions can have various contents. For example, information on a genre preset for the music can be used as it is. Further, it is possible to select at least one piece of information (for example, music classification) from preset genre information as a reservation condition. Alternatively, it is also possible to add a genre to the genre set for the music (for example, “pops or rock” is set as a reservation condition for music of a pop genre). Furthermore, as a reservation condition, it is possible to set a genre such as “one of the songs sung by the three most recent singers is pops or rock”.

  The determination unit 600 according to the present embodiment has a comparison target genre acquired from a genre registered in the genre storage unit 900 based on a reservation condition added to the music ID registered in the temporary reservation storage unit 500. It is determined whether or not the reservation condition is satisfied. When the music ID to which the reservation condition is added is registered in the temporary reservation storage unit 500, the genre registration unit 800 registers the genre of the music before the end of singing in the genre storage unit 900, and determines the signal to that effect by the determination unit 600. Send to. Each time the determination unit 600 receives a genre registration signal from the genre registration unit 800, the determination unit 600 compares the reservation condition with the reservation condition and determines whether the reservation condition is satisfied. The genre (comparison genre) to be compared with the reservation condition is determined based on the reservation condition. For example, when the reservation condition is “the song currently being sung is pops”, when the genre of the song currently being sung is registered in the genre storage unit 900, the determination unit 600 acquires the genre and reserves it. Compare with the genre indicated in the conditions.

  When determining unit 600 determines that the reservation condition is satisfied, it transmits a signal to that effect to interrupt registering unit 700. On the other hand, if it is determined that the condition is not satisfied, the determination unit 600 repeats the same process again after waiting for the timing when the genre of the next song is registered in the genre storage unit 900.

== About the operation of the karaoke apparatus 1 ==
The operation of the karaoke apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment. However, in this example, it is assumed that the genre of the music sung by a plurality of singers is registered in the genre storage unit 900 in advance. Moreover, the singer can set reservation conditions including the genre of the music when selecting the music. Further, the genre registration unit 800 registers the genre of the music in the genre storage unit 900 before the end of the singing with the provisional reservation as an opportunity, and informs the determination unit 600 of that fact. The determination unit 600 receives the genre registered in the genre storage unit 900 based on the reservation condition added to the music ID registered in the temporary reservation storage unit 500 and the reservation set in step 20. The condition is compared, and it is determined whether or not the genre of the predetermined music satisfies the reservation condition. If the reservation condition is satisfied, the determination unit 600 notifies the interrupt registration unit 700 to that effect. When the reservation condition is not satisfied, the determination unit 600 performs the same comparison process again at the timing when the genre of the song to be sung next is registered in the genre storage unit 900.

  Thus, according to the karaoke apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, when the genre of a song sung by another singer satisfies the reservation condition at the timing before the end of the singing, the song ID is registered in the queue (the tune of the song). Therefore, even if the music registered in the queue is canceled before the performance or an interrupted music enters the middle of the queue, the music can be sung at the timing desired by the user. In other words, even if people who are not acquainted with each other enjoy karaoke, etc., without having to consider the genre of the song sung by other singers, just reserve a song you want to sing at any time, The performance starts in a situation where it is easy for you to sing. Therefore, avoiding anxiety such as whether the music you choose will fit the atmosphere of the place, or an unwilling situation such as damaging the atmosphere of the place by singing a genre of music that is not familiar with the atmosphere of the place. It becomes possible.

  In addition, the karaoke apparatus of the said embodiment is not an apparatus which can be used only in the place where those who are not acquainted enjoy karaoke. For example, by not adding a reservation condition in karaoke singing between familiar persons, the karaoke apparatus can play music according to the order of the music IDs registered in the queue in the same manner as normal karaoke singing.

  Moreover, the said embodiment is shown as an example and does not limit the scope of the invention. The above configurations can be implemented in appropriate combination, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, the reservation condition may include a predetermined scoring value in the first embodiment and a genre in the second embodiment. Those embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the invention described in the claims and equivalents thereof as well as included in the scope and gist of the invention.
