BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a music reproducing apparatus for business or home use having a remote control device for selecting music from a remote location.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a music reproducing apparatus, the reservation status of a selected song is displayed on the display section of the music reproducing apparatus between songs or at a certain time.

0003

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] In this way, the reservation status of the selected song is only displayed on the display section between songs or at a certain time, so the reservation status of the selected song is only displayed on the display section during playback of the song. There was the inconvenience of not being able to know even if one wanted to know. The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and allows the reservation status of songs to be displayed at any time.
To provide a music playback device that allows you to know what you want to know when you want to know it.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a storage device for storing musical tone data of performance music, a control and playback device for reading musical tone data from the storage device and playing the music, a voice input means for inputting a singer's voice through a microphone or the like; a control device for outputting and controlling the voice input from the voice input device along with the reproduced performance sound; and a control device for transmitting music selection information to the control and reproduction means. In a music playback device equipped with a remote control device for input, the remote control device has means for communicating reservation status data with the main body of the music playback device, and a display section for displaying the reservation status.

[0005]

[Operation] According to the above structure, data exchange for reserving the selected song is performed between the remote control device and the main body of the music playback device, and it is possible to reserve the song, and the reservation status is displayed on the remote control device. can be displayed at any time.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a music reproducing apparatus according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of a music playback device according to this embodiment. The control device 1 is in charge of overall control of the music playback device, and includes a CPU, RAM, and ROM.
The following devices are connected to this control device 1, which has built-in devices such as: The operation unit 2 includes operation keys, etc., and is used to select a desired performance piece and input the information to the control device 1. The storage device 3 stores performance data and lyrics corresponding to the names of a plurality of pieces to be performed. It also stores musical tone reservation information. The above performance data is, for example, MIDI (
Musical Instrument Digi
tal Interface) standard,
The information consists of at least the scale, the strength of the sound, the length of the sound, and the timbre. In addition to the musical tone information, the storage device 3 also stores background video data that is output to a monitor 8 (described later) asynchronously with the performance data and that allows endless video to be output.

[0007]Reservation remote control device 10 with display unit (hereinafter referred to as
The remote control device inputs the reservation information stored in the storage device 3 via the control device 1 and controls the display of the reservation information. The playback device 4 includes an LD player that plays back a laser disc (LD) and a CD player that plays back a compact disc (CD). An amplifier 5 that amplifies the output and outputs the amplified output to a speaker 6 at the subsequent stage is provided at a downstream stage of the playback device 4, and a microphone 7 as an audio input means for inputting audio is connected to this amplifier 5. Then, the amplifier 5 mixes and amplifies the audio information from the microphone 7 and the musical tone information from the control device 1, and outputs the mixture to the speaker 6.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration of a remote control device. The remote control device 10 has an operation key f for selecting a desired performance piece, a transmitting unit a for reserving the selected piece, a receiving unit b for receiving the reservation status, and displays the received reservation status. It has a display section c consisting of an LCD or the like. Similarly, the control device 1 also has a transmitting section d and a receiving section e so that information can be exchanged with the remote control device 10.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the remote control receiving device of the present invention. When the reservation confirmation key of the remote control device 10 is turned on (step 1, hereinafter S1), the remote control device 10 outputs a signal confirming the reservation status from the transmitting section a to the receiving section e of the control device 1 (S2), and then the control device 1 is not busy (NO in S3), a signal indicating the reservation status is sent from the transmitting section d of the control device 1 to the receiving section b of the remote control device 10 (S4). After that, if the end code is input (YES in S5), the operation ends. In addition, recent reservation information is sequentially displayed on the display section c of the remote control device 10.
It is updated and output. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made.

0010

As described above, according to the present invention, information can be exchanged freely between the main body of the music playback device and the remote control device, and the reservation status can be displayed on the display section of the remote control device. You can check the reservation status whenever you want.
