By deciding whether to transmit the data and transmitting the data to the corresponding monitor using the corresponding output method, the user can use the information he / she wants.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a multi-interface providing method in karaoke according to the present invention.

The method of providing a multi-interface in karaoke according to the present invention starts with driving a karaoke service for a user who wants to use the karaoke service in karaoke (201).

The song accompaniment service user enters a desired service, and the song accompaniment system receives the input (202) and analyzes what the user's request is (203).

As a result of analyzing what the user's request is, if the user's request is a song, the user selects the song (204), and provides an accompaniment of the song selected by the user according to the request order for the song accompaniment. (205). This, of course, is basically provided in the karaoke cycle, and the user will sing first in karaoke, and provide a service for this.

As a result of analyzing what the user's request is, if the user's request is a screen change, the user is informed of the change condition, that is, the format that can be changed (206).

It is provided to the user through the screen (214). In other words, when a person who wants to use a song accompaniment service in a karaoke is singing, the other person wants to use a service other than the song accompaniment, and presents a list of videos that can be provided to the user. From among them, the user is selected, and the screen is also selected by the user. Furthermore, it can be used not as a karaoke room but as a movie room.

As a result of analyzing the user's request, if it is an online casting, it connects with an online casting agency (215) to provide accompaniment of the selected song to the user (216), and provides the user's song performance recorded through the Internet. (217).

Here, the online casting may be referred to as a user watching an interview for casting through karaoke. There can be two main things: one is a user singing a song in a karaoke room, performing a rhythm, a camera in the room, and sending such an image online to the agency responsible for the user's request. The other is that when a user applies for online casting in a karaoke room, the user connected to the online agency requests a specific request for an interview, and the user sings and moves accordingly. Of course, such an online casting is made in an environment that can handle various situations by combining a song accompaniment system and an online system in karaoke.

As a result of analyzing the user's request, if the user's request is a private broadcast, the user selects the broadcast contents to be selected by the user (218) and the broadcast format is selected by the user (219). According to the broadcast through the Internet (220).

Here, the personal broadcast means that the user transmits a broadcast, and a song accompaniment system is provided, the computer can be used, such as the Internet, and in an environment where a camera is provided, the user can directly produce and transmit a broadcast of a desired form. . At this time, the karaoke may be a studio or a broadcast editing room.
