Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a quick sample of a karaoke piece in which a song number or the like which is input to specify a karaoke piece to be played by a karaoke device is posted.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a quick sample in which a song number or the like to be input for designating a karaoke song to be played by a karaoke device is posted is generally used. This quick sample is a list of song names that can be played on karaoke and input codes (song numbers) corresponding to them, and are arranged in the order of Japanese syllabary by song name or singer name so that the input code of the desired song name can be found quickly. In many cases, when there are a plurality of songs with the same song name, the lyrics of the singing part are often included in order to specify which song is desired.

[0003]

However, in the case of so-called computer karaoke, the karaoke songs are stored in the form of data in which the karaoke song data is encoded and stored, and is read out from the storage device for reproduction when playing. , It is possible to store a large number of songs without making the storage device so large. For this reason, the number of songs that can be played by one karaoke machine is enormous, for example, 10,000 songs or more.

Along with this, the number of pieces of music described in the quick sample has dramatically increased, and the quick sample itself has an extremely large number of pages. Therefore, simply arranging the song names and singer names in the order of the Japanese syllabary will considerably increase the number of songs having a song name or singer name starting with "A", and it will take time to find a desired song. In addition, for example, in a karaoke box or the like, the unit price of the quick sample becomes high, so that it is difficult to install a sufficient number of quick samples such as one book for each person. For this reason, for example, when only 4 books can be prepared for 4 to 5 people, the users have to compete for the few sample books and cannot use them at a desired timing. Was there.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and makes it easy for each person to use at a desired timing without having to prepare a large number of the same quick samples, and selects music. It is an object of the present invention to provide a quick sample set of karaoke songs that can improve convenience in the event.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention, which has been made to solve the above object, provides a quick view of a karaoke piece in which a song number for designating a piece of music to be played by a karaoke apparatus is described together with the corresponding song name and the like. A quick sample set of karaoke songs, characterized in that all the specifiable songs are classified into a plurality of groups based on the attributes relating to the songs, and the classified groups are divided into separate volumes.

In this case, the classification for dividing into volumes may be based on the gender of the singer corresponding to the song as shown in claim 2, or as shown in claim 3.
It may be performed based on the genre of the song, or claim 4.
As shown in, it may be performed based on the era when the song is hit.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, an example of a separate sample of a female singer and a male singer (hereinafter referred to as a separate sample sample) will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, a separate sample sample book 1a edited by a female singer shown in FIG.
The separate sample sample book 1b of the male singer edition shown in FIG. 7B is divided into two sets so that one set is composed of two volumes. If the song names and singer names are arranged in the order of the Japanese syllabary in each of the separate volume samples 1a and 1b, for example, the number of songs that start with "A" or the number of songs belonging to the singer name itself is compared to one volume. , It is thought to be about half.

Further, not only the number of pieces of music belonging to the same item is reduced, but there are the following advantages. That is,
Although it is also caused by the peculiarities of karaoke, in general, karaoke users often sing songs of male singers and women often sing songs of female singers. for that reason,
For example, when enjoying karaoke in a mixed-sex group, male users use the separate sample book 1b for male singers and female users use the separate sample book 1a for female singers when searching for requested songs. If you use them, you can select songs efficiently.

Conventionally, for example, in a karaoke box or the like, it becomes difficult to place a sufficient number of quick samples because the unit price of the quick samples becomes high. Therefore, for example, only about one in every 4 to 5 people. If not installed, the users had to compete with each other for the few sample books, and it was impossible for each person to use them at the desired timing. If this goes away. In other words, each person can easily use the sample at the desired timing without preparing many rapid samples having the same content, and the convenience in selecting a song is improved.

Further, as another classification, if the volume is divided into volumes based on the genre of the song, or if the volume is divided based on the hit age of the song, the number of songs in each volume quick sample 1a, 1b is combined into one volume. The effect is similar to that in the case of classification according to the gender of the singer, of course.

[0012] As a separate volume according to the genre of the song,
For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) to 2 (d), a separate sample book 2a for Enka, a separate sample book 2b for Rock, a separate sample book 2c for Folk Song, and a separate summary book for other genres It may be considered that the book 2d is divided into separate volumes. Generally, karaoke users have various tastes, and it is rare that all people sing only an enka. For example, when a person uses the separate sample book 2a for enka, Another person can use the separate volume sample 2b for locking. Then, if there is a piece of music that both parties want to sing in both enka and rock, at the next opportunity, the separate volume sample books 2a and 2b can be exchanged to select the piece of music. In this way, songs can be selected efficiently. The classification shown in FIG. 2 is an example, and the classification method may be changed as appropriate.

Further, as a volume according to the hit age, for example, as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (e), 1960
3c for the songs before 1 year, 3b for the 1960s, 3b for 1970s, 3c for the 1970s, 3d for the 1980s, 1990s Volume Sample Sample Book 3
It is conceivable to separate the volume into e. Generally, for karaoke users, there is a major age when they become familiar with music, and for example, a song hit in the teens or 20s is still a song that they want to sing even after they are older. There are many. Also, 10-2
Not limited to the age of 0 years old, songs that are memorable for me are events in my life (such as weddings and the birth of children).
Since it is closely related to, sometimes I think of the time when the event happened and select songs by age.

Therefore, when the family enjoys karaoke or when the age of the people who make up the group is large, it is possible to select the songs at the same time by using the separate volume sample books 3a to 3e suitable for each age. it can. In addition, in the case of classification by these genres and ages, the classification classification may be appropriately set according to the number of target karaoke songs, the user group, and the like. For example, it may be roughly classified into enka and pops, or may be finely classified into military songs, popular songs, folk songs, new music, folk songs, and animation songs.

Of course, two or more attributes for classifying the singer's sex, genre, and age may be combined. For example, the volume division method is such that one female singer in the enka, one male singer in the enka, one female pop singer, and one male pop singer. Or, in the enka, separate volumes such as the 1990s, 1980s, 1970s .. For pops, the 1990s, 1980s, 1
You may separate it with the 970s.

Further, for example, when the separate volumes 3e of the 1990s are frequently used in the case of separate volumes according to the above-mentioned ages, prepare only the separate volume 3e of the 1990s more than others. You can also In one book, if the usage frequency is low for other generations but high for a certain age, users must compete for the few samples. However, if it is separated, it is efficient in terms of cost and installation place that only a large number of sample samples of the frequently used age group need to be prepared.

[0017]

As described above, by adopting the quick sample set of karaoke songs of the present invention, it becomes easy for each person to use it at a desired timing without preparing a large number of quick samples having the same content. , Improves convenience when selecting songs.
