Description

System of selecting songs in karaoke}

The present invention relates to a selection system of a karaoke apparatus, and more particularly, to various karaoke apparatuses that have been widely used in the related art, to provide convenience to a user's selection and to provide a quick selection of a selection and a variety of selections.

A karaoke device that is widely spread is equipped with a number pad or a number pad operable by a remote control attached to the karaoke device itself, and is selected to have a separate song title and the number assigned to the song.

Therefore, in this configuration, in order for the user to select a song, a separate song and a book printed with the number assigned to the song are essential, and the user selects a song that he / she wants to sing from the book arranged in alphabetical order. Operation is selected as a reservation or start button.

However, the above-described conventional selection method has a lot of inconveniences of the user by having the following problems.

(1) In the dark karaoke environment, selection through the booklet affects the user's vision, and in the case of many users, it is inconvenient to have a large number of booklets.

(2) When new songs are added, there is also inconvenience of the owner, which requires reprinting separate sheets of paper each time.

(3) Most users, especially middle-aged and older users, do not remember the exact title of the song, but remember only a part of the song or a part of the lyrics, so they select the song that they want to sing in a book containing only the title and singer's name. It's not easy to do it, so he delays his time even in his turn and can't select a song.

(4) Failure to select a song having a specific purpose, for example, a birthday celebration or a song corresponding to an anniversary, also causes a problem in that the selection takes time.

The problem of the conventional karaoke apparatus is seen as a problem caused by simply assigning a number as a number by matching only the title of the song and the corresponding singer, storing it in the memory of the karaoke apparatus, and selecting only by manipulation of the numeric button.

Therefore, in addition to the selection method by the one-to-one correspondence of the name and number of the conventional music described above, a separate selection method is required.
