The above objects and various advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the preferred embodiments of the present invention described below with reference to the accompanying drawings by those skilled in the art.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of a remote ensemble education system for implementing the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a plurality of subscriber stations, and 20 denotes a server connected to each subscriber station 10 through a high-speed information communication network such as the Internet.

In this case, the subscriber terminal 10 is preferably a personal computer system of more than a pentium class owned by a subscriber to the system in order to receive a performance education, MIDI (MIDI: musical instrument digital interface) output, sheet music output, performance It performs functions such as sound input and analysis result output.

In the above, the plurality of player terminals 10 includes a performance input unit 11 such as a microphone for receiving a user's performance signal, that is, a microphone for converting a musical sound into an electrical signal, and a performance signal input through the performance input unit 11. That is, the music MIDI converter 12 which digitizes the electrical signal of the instrument, extracts the pitch and time signature, and converts it into a music MIDI file, and allows the user to select a song to be played, and the corresponding music from the server 20. A music information searcher 13 for calling a MIDI file so that the user can listen to the music to be played in advance, and a performance result outputter for showing a progress result to the user while the operation of each component is performed ( 14). Basically, when an instrument such as an electronic keyboard having a MIDI connection function is used for the instrument itself, the performance input unit 11 and the music MIDI converter 12 may be omitted.

In this case, the performance input unit 11 uses a general microphone, and the music MIDI converter 12 may be implemented by a digital signal processing (DSP) board or software, and the music information searcher 13 requests a song selection. A keyboard for inputting a matter, a monitor for displaying a song stored in a server, and the like, and the performance result output unit 14 includes a monitor for displaying a performance score, a speaker for outputting a performance sound, and the like.

On the other hand, the server 20 stores and manages the MIDI file and the score file of the performance song, performs the analysis of solo and ensemble, and quickly delivers information online to the subscriber terminal 10, the player performs a curve taxi performance song name It manages meta information to provide composer name, composer name, and lyrics.

At this time, the server 20 is a meta-information management module 21 for managing the playable music MIDI files according to the meta information, and the performance analysis module 22 for analyzing the performance signal input from each of the subscriber terminal (10) And a result management module 23 for accumulating and managing performance results according to the respective subscriber stations 10, and a database for storing playable music MIDI files and performance data of each subscriber terminal 10; 24). In addition, some of the functions of the server 20 may be implemented in each subscriber station 10 as necessary to improve processing speed.

The operation of the present invention having the configuration as described above will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 2.

First, the user connects the system by turning on the subscriber station (10). In this case, the subscriber station 10 and the server 20 are connected through a high-speed information communication network such as the Internet for high-speed data communication, and internally connected using a TCP / IP protocol.

When the subscriber station 10 and the server 20 are connected, the type of music that can be played is displayed on the monitor of the personal computer used as the subscriber station 10 to perform a song selection function. At this time, it is possible to quickly select a song by executing a search function using meta information such as song name, classification, composer name, song writer name, part of lyrics.

Thereafter, when the user selects a song by using a keyboard, the server 20 calls meta information and score of the selected song stored in the database 24 and transmits it to the subscriber station 10. In this case, the user may select not only a song but also a playing instrument, so that the user may first listen to the content played by the corresponding instrument.

That is, as described above, the song transmitted to the subscriber terminal 10 can be played back to the player before the player starts playing so that the player can hear the correct sound in advance, so that the user can check the point, the beat, the pitch, and the pitch during the performance. Make sure

Thereafter, after each subscriber station 10 has agreed to start the ensemble, when the subscriber start signal is input to all subscriber stations 10 wishing to enlist, the ensemble signal is inputted through the play input unit 11. The music midi converter 12 converts the music midi file to the server 20. At this time, if there is one subscriber station 10 wishing to enlist, it is treated as a solo.

If the performance signal is continuously transmitted to the server 20 while the solo or ensemble is performed by the above operation, the performance analysis module 22 of the server 20 performs the beat and the pitch of each note online in real time. Perform an assessment of For example, while a performance is being performed, a score is displayed on the monitor of the subscriber terminal 10 and the current playing position is indicated by a change in color. If the performance is correct, a normal color change is made. You can prevent changes from happening. In other words, the player can immediately check whether the performance is correct by checking the color change.

After that, when all the performances are finished, the performance analysis module 22 of the server 20 outputs the evaluation value of the overall pitch and beat as a percentage through the monitor of the subscriber station 10, and the player needs to correct it. Print a message indicating where something failed. This information is divided into solo and ensemble, and in the case of ensemble, individual evaluation and evaluation of ensemble are output as a result. Ensemble means playing with two or more instruments at the same time. Thus, an example of the evaluation of the ensemble may be the performance of all the ensemble after the end of the performance-the pitch of the unit, the wrong number and percentage of length, the synchronization between the ensemble, the harmony between the players.

Thereafter, the result management module 23 generates cumulative data for knowing the progress according to the subscriber station 10 and stores it in the database 24. That is, when a subscriber terminal 10 performs the same song a plurality of times, if the performer needs to check the progress of each song as a whole, cumulative data is generated along with the meta information to generate the data. The base 24 is stored. This cumulative data can be used as a constant reference for performance improvement.

For example, if you play an ensemble or solo, you can tell if the pitch and beat are correct or wrong online. If you want to check the specific actual sound that you played, you can check the overall playing flow by using the play view function. In this case, the score of the selected song and the score actually played are simultaneously displayed on the monitor of the subscriber terminal 10 in different colors so that the user can easily compare them.

In addition, if you want to check what you have practiced so far, you can easily check the degree of improvement by showing a detailed evaluation of the ensemble or solo solo according to the date.

While the invention has been shown and described with respect to particular embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as indicated by the appended claims. Anyone can grow up easily.

The remote ensemble education method using the information and communication network of the present invention as described above can improve the convenience of education because the performers can practice without gathering in one place during the practice of ensemble, The effect is that the practice can be carried out efficiently without the help of the tutor.

In addition, the present invention has an effect that can increase the efficiency of the practice because you can listen to the music from the MIDI file before the performance using the automatic playing function.

In addition, there is an effect that can be informed of the player's weakness and improvement by showing the player's performance improved by continuously preserving the player's performance.
