Hereinafter, in order to exclude overlapping descriptions of the detailed configuration of the authoring player 10 and the description of the recording-authoring music file management method, the configurations and functions of FIGS. Let's take a look at how to manage recording-writing music files.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of generating a music file 50 in the recording-writing music file management method according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1 to 4, the recording control means 15a of the authoring player 10 receives an instrument performance and a singer vocal through the microphone 12 to perform recording, and the recording result data. Are classified into a stereo master component and stored in the master storage area 16a of the storage unit 16 (S1).

In addition, the recording control unit 15a records only the instrument playing portion input through the microphone 12 and classifies it as an instrumental component (S2), and the singer vocal portion input through the microphone 12 in the same manner. Only recording is performed and classified as an original vocal component (S3). Then, by storing the instrument component and the original vocal component in the first hidden area 16b of the storage unit 16, a single recording-authored music file in association with the storage for the master storage area 16a in step S1. To generate (S4). The first hidden area 16b is an area corresponding to the hidden track 55 of the music file 50 described above with reference to FIG. 2.

On the other hand, in the authoring player 10, as described above, the three components of the stereo master component, the instrument component, and the original vocal component are recorded as separate tracks as described above. These components correspond to the stereo master track 51, the instrument track 52, and the original vocal track 53 in the music file 50 of FIG. When the author player 10 generates data stored in the storage unit 16 as one music file 50, a file having a format as shown in FIG. 2 is generated.

Here, the stereo master component corresponds to the whole music including both the instrument performance and the singer vocals (All-Recorded: 'AR'), and the general music file currently used corresponds to the stereo master component. In contrast, instrument components record only the sound of musical instruments, while the original vocal component records only the voice of the singer.

In the authoring player 10, since the recording-authoring music file is recorded as a separate track of the stereo master component, the instrument component, and the original vocal component, the sound source producer (producer) uses the music file (50) as a combination of some or all of them. ) Can be made. That is, various combinations such as a combination of a stereo master component and an instrument component, or a combination of a stereo master component and an original vocal component are possible.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of playing a music file 50 by a playback program in the recording-writing music file management method according to the embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, the music file 50 is produced and distributed in the authoring player 10 by the method described above with reference to FIG. 4. For example, the music file 50 is separated and recorded in the storage unit 16, which is a removable storage device, and distributed in various ways such as being connected to another player or transmitted to another player through a communication network 20 such as the Internet. do. Through these various paths, the playback program reads the recording-writing music file 50 according to the present invention (S11).

When the music file 50 according to the present invention is processed in a playback program, its processing form is completely changed depending on whether or not (S12) the playback program can recognize the technology according to the present invention.

First, as a result of the determination of step S12, the case where the playback program is the authoring player 10 according to the present invention will be described. In this case, the play mode control means 15b of the authoring player 10 can grasp the internal structure of the recording-writing music file 50, and accordingly, the master storage area 16a of the storage unit 16, the first one. It is possible to recognize the stereo master track 51 and the various hidden tracks 52, 53, 54 of the hidden area 16b, the second hidden area 16c, or the music file 50 (S13).

After the step S13, the play mode control means 15b of the authoring player 10 may perform various types of playback operations in response to the user's selection (S14). That is, the stereo master component stored in the master storage area 16a may be reproduced and output through the speaker 13. In addition, the instrument component and the original vocal component stored in the first hidden region 16b may be independently processed, and only one of them may be output through the speaker 13. That is, it is possible to select only the sound of musical instrument performance or only the singer vocal sound through the vocal mute button 14a and the vocal only button 14b.

In addition, according to the present invention, the instrument component and the original vocal component stored in the first hidden region 16b may be separately played and then synthesized and output at a specific volume ratio. That is, since the play mode control means 15b can recognize the first hidden area 16b, the play component control unit 15b can separately process the instrument component and the original vocal component in music playback, thereby making it an object oriented method. Can be operated. The play mode control unit 15b synthesizes the instrument component and the original vocal component in the normal mode and outputs them to the speaker 13, and then controls to select and output one of the instrument component and the original vocal component according to the mode change request. have. In another embodiment, the play mode control unit 15b may control to reproduce and output the stereo master component in the normal mode, and then select and output one of the instrument component and the original vocal component according to the mode change request.

Second, as a result of the determination of step S12, the case where the playback program is a general playback program other than the authoring player 10 according to the present invention will be described. In this case, the playback program can recognize only the master storage area 16a of the storage unit 16 or the stereo master track 51 of the music file 50 (S15).

An example of a general playback program may be a general MP3 player. In addition, it may be a smart phone or a PC equipped with general music playback software rather than a recording-creating music file generation / playback application, and the hidden areas 16b and 16c. ) Is not recognized and therefore cannot be used for playback. Therefore, the general playback program simply performs the original operation such as a CD player, an audio, an MP3 player, etc. which are on the market.

Accordingly, after step S15, the general playback program reproduces only the stereo master components stored in the master storage area 16a to the stereo master track 51 through the speaker 13 at the user's choice (S16). Instrument components and original vocal components stored in (16b, 16c) are independently processed and not individually or synthesized and output to the speaker 13.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart specifically illustrating a reproduction and authoring process utilizing the recognition of the first hidden area 16b by the authoring player 10 in step S14 in FIG. 5. 1 to 6, the authoring / upload control means 15c of the authoring player 10 is connected to the first hidden area 16b in response to a user's recording mode selection through the input unit 14. The stored instrument component is reproduced through the speaker 13 and the lyrics data corresponding to the singer vocals are output to the display unit 17 (S21), thereby implementing a function of a so-called 'karaoke room'.

Meanwhile, the authoring / upload control unit 15c controls the original vocal component to not be played at all according to the recording mode selection, or to output the speaker through the speaker 13 with a relatively weak output compared to the instrument component even when the recording is performed. It is preferable.

Accordingly, when the user sings a song using the lyrics, the authoring / upload control means 15c classifies it as a user vocal component that is input to the microphone 12 and is recorded in the second hidden area 16b of the storage unit 16. Save it. The format of the music file 50 corresponds to the user vocal track 54. In this way, the authoring / upload control means 15c updates the recording-authoring music file 50 (S22). Meanwhile, as described above, a plurality of second hidden areas 16a to vocal tracks 54 for storing the user vocal components may be formed.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the authoring / upload control means 15c implements a record jacket on the UI screen of the display unit 17 and touches the corresponding part, and the lyrics of the song are output. You can do it.

After step S22, the authoring / upload control means 15c controls the transmitter / receiver 11 to upload the previously recorded recording-authored music file 50 to the cloud system 30 via the communication network 20 ( S23).

The cloud system 30 includes a recording-writing music file reproduction application. Accordingly, the cloud system 30 allows access to viewing the asset according to the purchaser's purchase request for the user vocal component (S24). Here, the viewing of the asset provided by the cloud system 30 is a recording-authored music file 50 that is requested by the purchaser and updated, and in order to prevent copyright disputes, the viewing of the asset is a user vocal component and an instrument component individually recorded by the user. It is preferable to limit to. By restricting the access range of the component, general music song files are prevented from being distributed through this path.

In more detail, other users, including the purchaser, may access the cloud system 30 to enjoy the uploaded recording-written music file 50, and may download it further. Here, it is free to play the updated recording-storage file in a streaming manner at the request of another user, but it is preferable to set the fee to download at the request of another user for the updated recording-storage file.

On the other hand, in this case, since a device for avoiding copyright disputes is required, in the present invention, a part of each component of the stereo master component, the instrument component, and the original vocal component at the time of uploading in step S23 for the updated recording-production music file. Only upload is desirable.

Alternatively, the cloud system 30 locks only the original song, the stereo master component and the original vocal component of the uploaded updated recording-writing music file, and has access only to the user vocal component that is the user recreated component. Can be set to enable.

Alternatively, the cloud system 10 may generate a user walk by synthesizing the instrument component and the user vocal component when the updated recording-storage file 50 is uploaded from the authoring player 10, and the generated user walk. To allow buyer access to.

After step S24, the authoring / upload control means 15c acquaints with the URL link information for the updated recording-storage file 50 in the uploaded state via the short or long message or the message transmission application at the request of the user. The transmitter / receiver 11 is controlled to transmit to the mobile terminal through the communication network 20 (S25). Accordingly, the person who receives the message can appreciate the user vocal component.
