The present invention relates to a network-based music performance / song accompaniment service system and method thereof, and more particularly to a virtual orchestra system in which digital music files (eg, MIDI, etc.) can be converted to play instructions and sound reproduction for each instrument. A network-based music / song accompaniment service apparatus, system and method for enabling solo or solo / original or ensemble or ensemble / chorus with multiple remote users, using the (VOS) file and realizing the method The present invention relates to a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program.

In general, song accompaniment refers to the sound of various musical instruments and specific sounds to help a singer, and with the development of electronics, an accompaniment performed by many people through electronic processing devices.

Such a device provides an accompaniment by combining and signaling a specific song by digitizing sound source waveforms that digitize sound elements such as musical instruments constituting an accompaniment that does not include human voice. In addition, by displaying the background image and the lyrics in accordance with the song accompaniment on a television (TV) on such a device, it is easy to see the karaoke that provides services by encouraging the singer to check the lyrics. In the song accompaniment apparatus, there is a memory including song accompaniment data for each song. When accompaniment is requested, a memory including accompaniment data for the corresponding song must be additionally installed.

In addition, in order to perform a song accompaniment in the outdoors for the mobility of such a general song cycle, many songs are stored in a portable device and connected to an amplifier or a TV by wire or wirelessly. However, it is difficult to add new songs quickly as new songs are released, and after a certain period of time, new songs must be replaced with devices.                         

In recent years, the Internet has been commercialized according to the development of wired data communication, and digitally converts not only the accompaniment data but also the song itself containing the voice of the singer. You can listen to songs on your old computer. In particular, the acquisition of music data through a data communication network such as the Internet can convert various types of music data types according to needs, thereby processing data according to a device so that music can be listened to.

Recently, a portable device has been developed that enables users to listen to songs by transferring compressed music from a computer via a cable to a downloaded music file. However, a well-known MP3 (Music Player-3) file for this purpose is 1 The amount of data is about 3 to 5M bytes per song, which requires a lot of memory and has a very slow transmission speed.

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a type of music file format designed to play musical notes through electronic gadgets, and is an international standard for the compatibility of data sent and received during electronic music periods. Most electronic instruments have the ability to send and receive data based on these MIDI standards. For example, among electronic musical instruments, homes can be divided into electronic electronic pianos, electronic pianos, electronic keyboards, and the like. All of these electronic musical instruments are designed to synthesize a sound waveform by using an analog circuit or a digital circuit, and these are also MIDI. It follows the standard.

In other words, MIDI is a local standard necessary to ensure compatibility in transmitting instrument performance information as a digital signal, and it is recommended to transmit and receive channel messages and system messages using a 5-pin dedicated cable. For example, the channel message of the recommendation to include the performance data such as musical scale, sound field, strength and weakness, conversion data information of the tone program.

By the way, in recent years, the data sharing with a personal computer (PC) has been increased to control the electronic musical instrument with a PC, and to control the electronic musical instrument with a MIDI terminal attached to the PC, a signal used inside the PC is used as a MIDI signal for the electronic musical instrument. You need to convert it, and in order to do that, you need a MIDI interface. There are two types of MIDI interfaces, an intelligent type having a central control unit (CPU) and a non-intelligent type. In addition, since channel information can transmit 16 different channel information through a single cable, it is easy to transmit a MIDI file including 16 musical instrument sounds (refer to expansion or reduction of such channel information. Is possible as required).

The present invention has been proposed as a technology for applying the above-mentioned environment and resources.

As a conventional case, the BeatMania (tradename) of Japan "KONAMI", which is widely known as a music playing game system, will be described in detail.

The BeatMania system is basically an offline game system, and when the player instructs the player to perform a play operation at a preset play operation time and the player performs a play operation accordingly, a preset sound wave of the player's selected instrument is played. A music playing simulation game machine for directing operation such as superimposing a sound effect wave (meaning a remaining background sound wave other than the user input wave) that the disc jockey (DJ) produces in accordance with music, The player uses a specific type of electronic score to instruct the player when to play, and the player uses the five buttons and one turntable to play the sound. The output is synthesized.

However, this BeatMania system may be said to have a significant effect in instructing the player when to direct the operation so that the player can easily produce music. Every time you design, you will have to artificially create and store all of the instrument-generated waves (user-input waves) that will be selected by the player and all of the waves (background sound waves) played by the instruments except those instruments. In general, in order to complete the design of a single song there was a serious problem that requires a lot of time and effort by professional musicians.

In addition, this method can not write a number of musical notes at a time, it is not possible to write at a time, so as to the number of instruments to be provided to the player can select the entire instrument wave (user input wave) and the entire background sound wave in the same manner as above. There are serious problems that must be designed one by one.

In addition, since the music file for the playing game made through the above process is a wave file as a result, there is a problem that the above complicated process must be newly made in order to change the once-made BeatMania game song.

In addition, since the music file for playing games made through the above process is stored in the form of a wave, even if compressed, the file size is several mega to tens of megabytes per song. Therefore, until now, the BeatMania game has to be provided only offline, and even if it is online, there is a technical limitation that the sound quality must be lowered inevitably as a means of reducing such a huge amount of data.

In the conventional case, such as the BeatMania game, only a limited number of wave-type songs stored independently in a single game system can be simply played, so that a large number of players are online on a network. Not only can not support the ability to collaborate at all, there was a problem that can not provide any online services such as chat or ranking.

A service control device 42 for receiving a user's song / playing data, a song accompaniment (karaoke) music file, a VOS music file, or a music playing / song accompaniment service program to control a service, and a music / song accompaniment Software storage device 43 that stores a service program and provides a corresponding music performance / song accompaniment service program at the request of the service control device 42, song accompaniment (karaoke) music files and VOS music files are classified by genre And a music file storage device 44 for providing the music file to the user computer 11 through the service control device 42 and the network connection device 41 according to a user's request, and an information communication network such as the Internet. Multiple remote users who want to connect to the chorus through the chorus provide an environment in which they can select the desired music and the instrument to play and perform the chorus Personal information and music of a user who is subscribed to the multi-chorus / entrance device 45 for transmitting the song / playing data of each user who sings / plays music to the users, and the music / song accompaniment service server 10, 20. Music file information stored in the file storage device 44 and the achievement level for the music (in the case of a song, it is expressed as a score, or in the case of performance, such as very good, excellent, normal, underperformed, etc.) It includes a database 46 that stores.

As described above, the music performance file uses a virtual orchestra system (VOS) music file, and the song accompaniment (karaoke) file inserts the lyrics and the beat sync part into these VOS music files. Sequence, and other accompaniment notes.

On the other hand, if necessary, mute the background sound other than the actual performance sound by the user's operation of the performance sound produced as described above to be able to check the playing state more clearly.

Now, the process of producing the VOS music file in the music performance / song accompaniment service server (10, 20) will be described in more detail.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a VOS music file production process for a music performance / song accompaniment service according to the present invention, and illustrates a musical instrument division and storage procedure. 6 is a diagram for easily explaining the meaning of delta time and absolute time, and FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a process of converting delta time information of a MIDI file into absolute time according to the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 5, the VOS file production process in the music / song accompaniment service server 10, 20 first performs MIDI in order to obtain necessary information from song messages stored in a music file made in MIDI format. The messages are divided into types and loaded on the memory (110). For reference, this message type can be largely divided into control messages (eg, volume messages, effects, etc.), performance messages, and instrument setting messages. In the MIDI file, the time domain for all these messages is defined as delta time. It is. Herein, the delta time means that time information of all messages is defined as a difference (interval) value from previous time information (see FIG. 6).

In producing the VOS file of the present invention, in order to enable virtual orchestra performance, the operation of converting the MIDI format message information defined in delta time to absolute time is performed (120).

The meaning of the delta time and the absolute time mentioned above can be easily understood from the time information display of the performance message illustrated in FIG. 6. That is, in FIG. 6, the time information indicated on the left side of each performance message is delta time, and the time information indicated on the right side is absolute time.

In addition, the process of converting the delta time to the absolute time as described above can be easily understood from the flowchart of FIG. That is, after performing an initialization process 121 such as setting an initial delta time value (usually "0") to an absolute time initial value, it is determined whether a message having unconverted delta time information exists (123). If present, the previous absolute time value plus the current conversion target message delta time value is determined to be the current conversion target message absolute time value (125), and then the message with unconverted delta time information no longer exists. By repeatedly performing the determination step 123 until not, the delta time information of the MIDI format messages is converted into absolute time.

You can then configure note messages for the user to play, for example, to configure the user to play only one specific instrument, or to change the instrument according to time of day, or to allow multiple users to play multiple instruments at once. You can also create a configured VOS file.

In addition, in some cases, it may be necessary to have a performance control input device capable of playing all octaves, such as a MIDI instrument, so that the performance can be performed without any special simplification. Therefore, it may be necessary to simplify complex playing procedures in order to allow non-experts to easily play a particular instrument without prolonged practice, or, conversely, more complicated manipulations than normal playing procedures for experienced professionals. It may require a process of complicating the sheet music to be performed by (130).

For example, referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, the case of simplifying the score is as follows.

Referring to FIG. 8, by removing the octave from a note, all the notes may be attributed to one octave (see "g" in 11a and 11b). It is also possible to place the semitones in the notes in the whole tone (see "e" in 11a and 11b). Through this process, the sheet music 11a of the original song can be simplified into a new type of electronic sheet music 11b (140). However, in practice, the electronic score 11b has original song information for reproducing accurate performance sounds during the user's performance and information for displaying a simplified performance instruction.

In addition, in the electronic sheet music 11b newly generated through the above process, if necessary, it is also possible to additionally modify the arrangement of notes or delete notes to be played (150). For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the difficulty may be adjusted by deleting a note using an editor.

On the other hand, in the case where the original song itself has an idle time that does not require a performance operation, or in the electronic sheet music 11b which has been modified such as the arrangement change or the deletion of notes, the advertisement information (i.e., , Time periods for inserting promotional texts, images, and sound clips to specific companies, products, and songs. In such a case, by designating information on the presentation time of the advertisement information together with each advertisement information (160), the usefulness can be enhanced by being included in the VOS file serving as the source of the performance.

The VOS file is finally generated through the above process (170).

10 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a music playing / song accompaniment service method according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 10, in the music performance / song accompaniment service method according to the present invention, a user first accesses a music performance / song accompaniment service main server 10 through a general user authentication process (801), and plays music. The song accompaniment service main server 10 selects an execution mode (802).

As a result of execution mode selection, music / song accompaniment service program, user's playing order for music and the notes are divided by instruments, and the VOS music file representing the notes to be played according to the timing of each instrument, and lyrics and beat sync to VOS music file. In order to download a song accompaniment for the music and the song order of the user, and other accompaniment sounds, the music storage / song accompaniment service software storage device of the main server 10 43) and the corresponding music performance / song accompaniment service program, song accompaniment (karaoke) music files, VOS music files from the music file storage device 44 (803), music performance / song accompaniment services from the user computer 11 Install a program (804), determine whether another operation is necessary (810), if another operation is required to perform the process of selecting the execution mode (802), If no work is needed, exit. As a result of the execution mode selection, in the case of a personal performance (solo), the music performance / song accompaniment service main server 10 or the user computer 11 performs a personal performance (solo) (805), and whether other operations are necessary. The determination process 810 is performed. As a result of the execution mode selection, when the ensemble is played by several people, the ensemble is performed (806) while maintaining the connection with the music performance / song accompaniment service main server (10). Process 810 is performed.

As a result of the execution mode selection, in the case of the individual solo, the music performance / song accompaniment service main server 10 or the user computer 11) means that the individual solo (provides the lyrics data only to the soloist) (807). In step 810, it is determined whether another operation is required.

As a result of the execution mode selection, in the case where the chorus sings together, the chorus is performed 808 while maintaining the connection with the music performance / song accompaniment service main server 10, and it is determined whether other tasks are necessary. A process 810 is performed.

In the case of execution mode selection result, inquiring and changing user information, a process of inquiring and changing user information stored in the music / song accompaniment service main server 10 (809) and determining whether other work is necessary (810). ).

FIG. 11 is a detailed flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a private playing process in a music playing / singing accompaniment service method according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 11, in the music performance / sing accompaniment service method according to the present invention, the individual performance performing process 805 may be performed by a user first performing a personal performance through the music performance / song accompaniment service main server 10. It is determined whether or not (901).

As a result of the determination, if it is not a personal performance (single) through the music performance / song accompaniment service main server 10, the user computer 11 selects a corresponding performance song and a musical instrument to be played (902), and the user computer 11 displays the screen. The electronic score is displayed on the display device 34 (903). At this time, the length of the song is often relatively long to be displayed on one screen, so as the time progresses, the electronic sheet music of the place to be played is scrolled and shown. The display process of the electronic score is as shown in FIG. That is, when the note of the A part is expressed in electronic score, it is converted to B.

Then, when the user performs the performance according to the electronic score displayed on the display device 34, the music performance / song accompaniment processing device 32 of the user computer 11 is input of the user's performance from the input device 33 In operation 904, the sound is synthesized by synthesizing the background sound with the playing input.

After the performance is completed, the music playing / song accommodating device 32 outputs the user's achievement of the corresponding musical file to the display device 34 (905).

As a result of the determination, when the music / song accompaniment service main server 10 is a personal performance (single), select a song to play from the VOS music file stored in the music performance / song accompaniment service main server 10 ( 906, it is determined whether the selected song exists in the user computer 11 (907), and if it does not exist, download the corresponding VOS music file of the selected song (908), and if present, select an instrument to play in the selected song ( 909).

Thereafter, the user computer 11 displays the electronic sheet music through the display device 34 (910), and at this time, the process of displaying the electronic sheet music is also the same as that of the electronic sheet music display process 903 above. When the performance is performed according to the electronic score displayed on the device 34, the music performance / song accompaniment processing device 32 of the user computer 11 receives the performance input of the user from the input device 33, and the performance input In operation 911, the background sound is synthesized.

After the performance is completed, the music playing / song accommodating processing device 32 outputs the user's achievement level of the musical instrument to the screen display device 34 (912).

Finally, using the Internet and the public telephone network connection device 30, information related to the performance, for example, the score of the corresponding music file, is stored in the database 46 of the music performance / song accompaniment service main server 10 In operation 913, it is determined whether to play another song (914). If the user wants to play another song, a process of selecting a song to be played (906) is performed.

Looking at the process (904,911) of receiving the user's playing input and outputting the playing sound in more detail, when the user plays through the input device 33 according to the electronic score displayed on the display device 34, the user inputs A performance is recognized by the music / song accompaniment processor 32. Subsequently, the music performance / song accommodating processor 32 outputs a note (ie, a designated sound MIDI output message) corresponding to the input key of the user input in real time to the music output device 35, and the user does not play. For musical instruments that do not have a musical instrument, a musical note (ie, a background sound MIDI output message) is automatically output to the music output device 35. At this time, in the case of the non-simplified electronic sheet music, for example, when the performance is performed on a real MIDI instrument, the input is sent without going through a simplified algorithm. On the other hand, in the case of the simplified electronic sheet music, the closest note is currently output.

For example, as shown in Fig. 17, when the "degree" key is pressed at 100 seconds (C) after the start of the performance, there is a "five octave degree" note (b) at the position of 90 seconds of the original song and the 105 seconds of the original song. When there is a "6 octave degree" note (a) at the position, the note (a note) at a position of 105 seconds closer to the user's input is determined as the note to be played. Next, the music corresponding to the note (MIDI output message) of the instrument played by the user in the music output device 35, and the instrument automatically played by the music performance / song accommodating device 32 that the user did not play. Mixing the sound corresponding to the note of in real time and outputs through the speaker 36. In this case, as shown in FIG. 18, the degree of achievement of the played song 16b relative to the original song 16a may be shown as to how accurate the user has performed compared to the original song standard.

12 is a detailed flowchart illustrating an embodiment of an ensemble performing process of a music playing / singing accompaniment service method according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 12, the ensemble performing process 806 of the music performance / song accompaniment service method according to the present invention may be performed by a user who first accesses the music performance / song accompaniment service main server 10 to perform the ensemble. The music is to be negotiated with the user (101), the music genre in which the music is present is selected (102), and the music is selected (103).

When the ensemble is selected (103), the music playing / song accommodating apparatus 32 of each user computer 11 determines whether the selected song exists in the user computer 11 (104). The user who does not exist in the user computer 11 downloads the selected ensemble 105, and if present, the service controller 42 of the music / song accompaniment service main server 10 selects a list of selectable instruments of the selected song. Displayed on user computer 11 (106).

Then, each user to perform the ensemble selects the instrument to be played by himself in the instrument list (107), and the instrument selection information of each user to perform the ensemble is transmitted to each user.

The electronic score of the selected song is displayed on the display device 34 of each user computer 11 (108), and each user plays the musical instrument selected by the user (109). In this case, the performance input of each user is transmitted to other users through the music performance / song accompaniment service main server 10 to which the users are connected, and the result is output to the screen output device 34.

Next, the music performance / song accompaniment service main server 10 synthesizes the performance input of each user who participated in the ensemble, calculates the degree of achievement and transmits it to each user (110), and stores the ensemble information in the database 46. After 111, it is determined whether to play another song (112), if not played is returned, and if performing, the process 101 of negotiating the synopsis with other users.

As described above, when two or more people play (ensemble) the music, the designated sound of the instrument selected by the first user and the designated sound of the instrument not played by the second user are mixed in real time. Orchestral ensemble is possible by giving the first and second users the sounds of playing each other through an information communication network such as the Internet. In addition, it is obvious that orchestra ensemble can be performed in the same manner even when several people play (ensemble) music.
