Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention consists of audio information that becomes the accompaniment of a song, video information that shows the scene of the song, and lyric information that shows the lyrics of the song in text, and each of these information is recorded and reproduced. This invention relates to an improvement of a video karaoke device that is expressed through the screen and sound generator of the device.

Various types of video karaoke devices of this type have been proposed so far, and in particular, a method for displaying lyrics information that is transcribed into text as the audio information and video information progresses is shown on the screen. -1590
Invention No. 80 has been proposed. This invention uses the textual information G of the lyrics displayed on the screen as the accompaniment of the song to be sung and the video information that serves as the background of the song to be sung. The underline symbol that assists the character appears and moves directly below the corresponding character.

According to this method, the user can synchronize the timing with the progress of the accompaniment by sequentially singing the underlined letters while looking at the screen, so it is worthy of some evaluation.

However, in this method, the underlined characters are read while singing, which not only causes severe eye fatigue due to the lack of unity between the underline and the characters. It has the disadvantage that it is extremely difficult to express the emotion in relation to the phrases before and after the lyrics.

In connection with this, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 58-159081 states:
Regarding the above text information, it is proposed that the color of the lyrics to be sung changes sequentially as the accompaniment progresses, or the text of the part to be sung blinks (changes in brightness), or the size of the text is increased. has been done.

However, in this case, since the characters of the lyrics themselves change in color or size, it is necessary to visually observe the changes in the characters before and after the change in color or size, or the changes in the brightness of the characters. The same problem with the invention described above is that the eyes are subject to severe fatigue while singing.

Furthermore, in JP-A No. 58-161589, the timing of the beginning of singing is determined by displaying the subtraction numbers from the accompaniment prelude to the beginning of singing, or by displaying a clock-like picture. A method of displaying the information has also been proposed.

However, in this case, the main purpose is to capture the timing at which the lyrics begin to be sung, and the other methods of displaying the lyrics are no different from the conventional methods described above.

Under such circumstances, the present invention minimizes eye fatigue due to visual inspection of the user, and moreover, the present invention is designed to minimize the fatigue of the user's eyes when visually observing the lyrics, and to detect the characters corresponding to the accompaniment of the lyrics displayed on the screen based on the relationship with the lyrics before and after the characters. This allows the user to fully grasp the emotion entrusted to them and to sing expressive and satisfying songs.Specifically, it is possible to fully understand the emotion entrusted to the song and sing a satisfying song with a rich expression. Hail video information and line drawings.

In a video karaoke machine that consists of lyrics information and is expressed through the screen of a recording and reproducing device and a sound generator along with external voices sung along with each piece of information, the lyrics information is expressed in contrasting colors against a black background. The present invention has a means for projecting a subtitle with text of the lyrics on a video camera, and a means for applying two types of borders that exhibit mutually contrasting colors by applying electrical processing to the lyrics projected on the video camera. However, when the lyrics information displayed on the video camera is combined with the video information, two types of borders are sequentially transferred from one to the other in synchronization with the progress of the audio information and video information for the lyrics. This is what I did.

The specific contents of the present invention will be explained below based on the illustrated embodiments.■, telop, 3. 5. is a video camera device; is an editor, 9. is a sketch, and 1o is the screen of the recording/reproducing device.

Telop 1. In the case of cigarettes, those with a black background are used, and the lyrics 2. is manifesting.

Video camera device 3. is camera 4. is installed, and in front of it is the above-mentioned caption 1. You can set this to take a picture.

Editor 5. 9. is a sketch that shows the audio information and line drawing scene that will be the accompaniment of the song. Lyrics information is mixed and edited at the same time as the video information of the camera 4. The caption shown in 1. Lyrics 2. For example, characters 7. This orange character 7. white border 8a
Two kinds of border parts 6a are formed: a white border part 6a with a color border 6a and a black border part 6b with a black border 8b having a color contrasting with the white color.

The lyrics information to be provided is mixed and synthesized at an early stage while initially matching the white border portion 6a with the audio information and video information, and the lyrics characters 7 are projected onto the white border portion 6a in accordance with the timing of the song. ．． By sequentially replacing the black border part 6b with the orange lyrics character 7. The white border 8a part is "fu"
→Character 7 with black border 8b in order of "shi" - "no". It will be replaced by .

As described above, the present invention provides lyrics information for the audio information that serves as the accompaniment of the song and the video information that depicts the scene of the line drawing. In addition to quickly mixing and synthesizing the lyrics while matching them, the lyrics letters with white borders are sequentially replaced with lyrics letters with borders of a mutually contrasting color such as black in accordance with the timing of the song. The text that expresses the lyrics does not change in any way, and a border is attached, and only the coloring of the border changes sequentially to match the timing of the song, so it maintains a sense of unity with the lyrics text. We have created an ideal video karaoke device that not only allows for extremely low eye fatigue when visually inspecting the lyrics, but also allows you to read and sing the unique emotion entrusted to the corresponding characters based on the relationship with the phrases before and after the lyrics. can be provided.
