Abstract

PURPOSE: To eliminate the necessity of operation of an additional register switch or special operation of a regular switch and to simplify operation when a new disk is additionally housed by detecting the added disk and automatically storing musical information in a KARAOKE (orchestration without rylics) device. CONSTITUTION: A system controller 2 reads musical name information for sound information recorded on a disk n+1, and adds and records it on a nonvolatile memory device 3 together with a disk number and a musical number. When the disk number and the musical number are selected, the system controller 2 retrieves the nonvolatile memory device 3, and gains the disk number, the musical name of the musical number to send them to a display processor 4, and outputs the musical name as a character video to display it on a display device 7. Then, the controller 2 instructs to a disk reproducing device 5 so as to reproduce the musical number recorded on the disk number in a stocker 10. When reproduction is started, the information of the disk number, the musical number in the stocker 10 are decoded by a decoder 6 to be outputted from a sound output device 8.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a karaoke device for reading out music information recorded on a disc, recording it in a memory inside the device, and referring to the information to display a music title and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a conventional karaoke apparatus is provided with a special additional registration switch for adding music information of a new disc when the disc is added.

[0003]

When a disc is newly stored, the song information of the disc is recorded in the internal memory of the apparatus by operating a special additional registration switch or a special operation of the normal switch. There was a need.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there is provided a disc storage portion for storing a plurality of discs on which a plurality of audio information and music information of the audio information are recorded, and a reproduction for reproducing the discs stored in the disc storage portion. Means, a storage means for reproducing the disc by the reproducing means to read the song title information from the disc and storing it in the memory, a display means for displaying the song title information stored in the storage means, and a new disc added to the disc storage portion. The karaoke apparatus is provided with a detecting means for detecting the fact that the detecting means stores the music information of the added disc when the detecting means detects the addition of the disc.

Further, the detecting means is a karaoke apparatus equipped with a door open / close detecting means for detecting the opening / closing of the door of the disc storage portion and a disc presence / absence detecting means for confirming the presence / absence of the disc stored in the disc storage portion. .

Further, the door opening / closing detecting means is a karaoke device which detects opening / closing of the door of the disc housing portion and automatically updates the music information stored in the storage means.

[0007]

When a new disc is added to the stocker by the detecting means, the disc is detected from the stocker, the disc is put into the reproduction state, the music information is automatically read out and stored in the storage means. It is easy to handle because there is no need to operate a special additional registration switch for additional writing of information to the memory, or a special operation of a normal switch.

[0008]

EXAMPLE An example according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 shows a system diagram of the karaoke apparatus of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a flow chart.

In the stocker 10, voice information of a plurality of songs,
N discs in which music information indicating the names of the audio information are recorded are housed in order without a gap. An area for storing the number of disks stored in the stocker 10 is provided in the non-volatile memory 3, and if the stocker 10 is empty, an initial value of 0 indicating that no disk is set is written. Has been. Further, a detection switch 9 for detecting this is provided on the door that opens and closes when the disk of the stocker 10 is taken in and out, and the system control device 2
Can detect the open / closed state of the door by detecting that the detection switch 9 is connected or disconnected.

The system controller 2 always checks whether or not the door is opened by the detection switch 9 indicating the open / closed state of the door (S1). If the door is not open, a key input from the operation device 1 is accepted and a normal karaoke performance process is performed (S2). If it is detected that the door is open, the process continues to wait until the door is closed (S3). When the door is closed, the system controller 2 reads from the nonvolatile memory device 3 the number n of disks previously stored in the stocker 10 and recorded in the nonvolatile memory device 3 (S4), and the door is opened. At the time, it is checked whether or not a new disc is added, and the place where the disc n + 1 is stored is checked (S5).

A disc detecting device 10a for detecting the position of the disc stored in the stocker 10 moves along the stocker 10 and detects the disc. If no disc has been added, the process returns to S1. When a new disc is added and the disc n + 1 exists, the system controller 2 reads the song name information corresponding to the audio information recorded on the disc n + 1 and stores the song number information in the nonvolatile memory device 3 together with the disc number and the song number. Add and record
(S6). In addition, the stocker 10 in the nonvolatile memory device
The number n of the disks stored in is rewritten to n + 1 (S7). After that, the process returns to S5 again, and it is checked whether or not a disc is added, and the same process is performed.

During karaoke performance, the disc number and the song number in the stocker 10 are selected by the operating device 1 for karaoke performance. Here, as an example, when the disk number 150 and the song number 3 are selected, the system controller 2
Searches the non-volatile memory device 3 for disk number 15
The song names of 0 and song number 3 are obtained and sent to the display processor 4. The display processor 4 outputs the music title as a character image, which is displayed on the display device 7. And
The system control device 2 is
An instruction is issued to reproduce the tune number 3 recorded on the disk 150 in the stocker 10, that is, the audio information number 3. The detection switch 7 is configured so as to detect whether or not the stocker 10 is opened even when the power supply is backed up and the power supply of the karaoke apparatus is not connected.

When reproduction is started by the disk reproducing device, the disk number 150 and the song number 3 in the stocker 10 are set.
The audio information of is decoded by the audio information decoder 6 and output from the audio output device 8. When the karaoke is not performed, the system control device 2 uses the nonvolatile memory device 3 to
After obtaining all the song title information of the discs stored in the stocker 10, the song name information is displayed on the display device 7 together with the disc number and the song number to inform which song can be played.

In the present embodiment, the example in which the song name information is recorded is explained, but the song genre type such as composer name, lyrics, singer name, enka pops, etc. which is peculiar information for each song other than the song name information. Each information such as can be automatically read and displayed by the same means.

[0015]

When a new disc is additionally stored, the added disc is detected and the music information is automatically stored. Therefore, a special additional registration switch for additionally recording the music information of the disc in the memory. It is easy to operate because there is no need to operate or the special operation of switches.
