Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for obtaining a more accurate scoring result when scoring a user's song performed during karaoke performance.

  Conventionally, a scoring function is well known as an incidental function of a karaoke apparatus. This scoring function generates singing data indicating the singing state such as pitch, volume or tempo uttered by the singer by sampling the singer's voice signal input from the microphone. The singing data is compared with scoring reference data such as main melody data in karaoke data, and a predetermined score is given based on the comparison result to generate scoring data. When the singing part ends, the scores in the scoring data are totaled to calculate a total score. The total score is displayed as it is on the scoreboard or the display, or a video reflecting the total score such as a video including a predetermined message or predetermined expression content is output to the display.

Similarly, a speech recognition device that normalizes and displays two phoneme sequences on the time axis is known as a device for scoring speech by a user (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Such a speech recognition apparatus includes an input unit 50 for inputting the voice of an unspecified speaker, a recognition unit 51 for performing speech recognition from the speech signal and obtaining a language symbol, and a predetermined acoustic feature amount of the speech signal. And display means 54 for normalizing and displaying the correspondence between the language symbol and the corresponding language symbol for at least two types of speech. In this voice recognition device, one of the two voice data is voice data input from the input means, and the other voice data is a model voice data stored in advance. After comparing and processing, they are normalized and displayed.

[Description of analysis scoring result display process (1)]
Below, the process procedure of the analysis scoring result display process (1) performed by the control part 12 of the karaoke apparatus 4 of the karaoke network system 1 is demonstrated based on the flowchart of FIG. 4, FIG. 3, and FIG. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the transition of normalized analysis scoring results for each past section and the transition of analysis scoring results for each current section. FIG. 6A is an explanatory diagram (1) showing the flow of analysis scoring result data transmitted and received between the karaoke host server and the karaoke apparatus.

This analysis scoring result display process (1) is executed independently from other processes when the karaoke apparatus 4 of the karaoke network system 1 is activated.
First, when analysis scoring is started (S100), it is determined by referring to the reserved song list stored in the HDD 16 whether or not a karaoke performance song is reserved (S102). If it is determined that the karaoke performance song is not reserved (S102: NO), it waits until there is a karaoke song selection by the user performed by the remote control terminal 5 (S104). Then, it is determined whether or not a karaoke song is selected (S106). If it is determined that a karaoke song is not selected (S106: NO), the process returns to S104. Is determined (S106: YES), the process proceeds to S108. If it is determined in S102 that a karaoke performance song is reserved (S102: YES), the process proceeds to S108.

  In the next S108, the interface section 14 is referred to by referring to the reserved song list described above, the song selection number of the karaoke performance song to be performed next, the user ID of the user who made the reservation, and the serial number of the karaoke device 4. It is controlled and transmitted to the karaoke host server 2 (S108, see arrow 1 in FIG. 6A). Then, the past analysis scoring result and speed control value transmitted from the karaoke host server 2 are received via the interface unit 14 (see S110, arrow 2 in FIG. 6A).

  In subsequent S112, the set value of the current speed control value in the karaoke apparatus 4 is acquired, and the past speed control value and the karaoke apparatus are referred to by referring to the past analysis scoring result and speed control value received earlier. Based on the current speed control value in step 4, the past analysis scoring results are normalized so that both have the same performance speed (S112). The normalized past analysis scoring result is displayed on the monitor 36 (S114, see FIG. 3).

  Subsequently, referring to the reserved music list, the music data of the karaoke performance music to be performed next is read from the HDD 16 and the karaoke performance is started (S116). And the audio | voice signal of the karaoke song input from the microphone 26 is scored for every area, and the analysis scoring result for every area is displayed on the monitor 36 (refer FIG. 3, S118). At that time, it is set in advance to obtain n pieces of data per song. That is, when the speed control value is specified, the section (time interval) for scoring the audio signal is specified. Since the number of scoring data for one song is n, the scoring interval differs depending on the performance speed of the song determined by the speed control value. For example, if a song is scored at a performance speed of 120 seconds at n = 10 (pieces), it is scored at 12-second intervals, but when played at 100 seconds, since n is constant, it is scored at 10-second intervals. In addition, when two songs with the same performance but different performance speeds (circles and triangles in FIG. 3) are displayed at the same time in this time and the past, the circles and triangles are displayed at 0 minutes (FIG. 3 X-axis: 0%). The positions on the X-axis match, but the display positions on the X-axis differ because the scoring interval is different at other positions on the X-axis, and the end of the song (current time: 2 minutes) Then, it seems that ○ and △ are markedly different in the scoring positions in the song (even though they are scoring the same singing position, they appear to be scoring different singing positions) Therefore, it is difficult for the user to compare the scoring results (Y axis) between this time and the past. Therefore, by normalizing two songs (◯, Δ) according to one of them, the positions on the X-axis of each of n pieces of scoring data, ○, song Δ, shown in FIG. Since all match according to the degree of progress of the music, it is easy for the user to compare the scoring result indicated by the Y axis with the current time and the past. Therefore, with regard to which of the two songs (○, △) is to be normalized according to the performance speed, by normalizing according to the song (○) to be sung this time, It becomes possible to easily compare the past scoring levels. Therefore, according to the acquisition setting of the n pieces of data, the scoring results for each section and the normalized past analysis scoring results previously displayed on the monitor 36 are simultaneously displayed so that they can be compared. (S120, see FIG. 3).

  Further, the karaoke song analysis scoring result and the speed control value in the karaoke apparatus 4 associated with this karaoke performance are transmitted to the karaoke host server 2 via the interface unit 14 (S122, arrow 3 in FIG. 6A). reference). Then, the process proceeds to S102.

[Description of analysis scoring result transmission process (1)]
Below, the process procedure of the analysis scoring result transmission process (1) performed by the karaoke host server 2 of the karaoke network system 1 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

This analysis scoring result transmission process (1) is executed independently of other processes when the karaoke host server 2 is activated.
First, it is determined whether or not the information transmitted from the karaoke apparatus 4 has been received in S108 of the above-described analysis scoring result display process (1) (S200). Here, in order to determine that the information transmitted from the karaoke device 4 has been received, the song selection number of the karaoke performance song to be performed next, the user ID of the user who made the reservation, and the serial number of the karaoke device 4 The number needs to be included in the received information. When it is determined that the information transmitted from the karaoke device 4 has not been received (S200: NO), the process waits until the information transmitted from the karaoke device 4 is received by repeatedly executing S200.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the information transmitted from the karaoke apparatus 4 has been received (S200: YES, see arrow 1 in FIG. 6A), the user who made the reservation for the karaoke performance song is registered as a user. It is determined whether or not (S202). Specifically, referring to the stored contents of the database 2b, if the user ID of the user who made the reservation for the karaoke performance song is registered in the database 2b, it is determined that the user is registered as a user. . If it is determined that the user is not registered (S202: NO), the process proceeds to S200.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the user who made the reservation for the karaoke performance song is registered as a user (S202: YES), from the information related to the karaoke song of the user having the user ID included in the previously received information. A record including the same music selection number as the music selection number included in the previously received information is extracted, and the analysis scoring result and speed control value included in the extracted record are received first via the interface unit 14. The data is transmitted to the karaoke apparatus 4 having the serial number included in the information (see S204, arrow 2 in FIG. 6A). Then, the process proceeds to S200.

[Description of analysis scoring result registration process]
Below, the process procedure of the analysis scoring result registration process performed by the karaoke host server 2 of the karaoke network system 1 is demonstrated based on the flowchart of FIG.5 (b).

This analysis scoring result registration process is executed independently of other processes when the karaoke host server 2 is activated.
First, it is determined whether or not the information transmitted from the karaoke apparatus 4 has been received in S108 of the analysis scoring result display process (1) (S300). Here, in order to determine that the information transmitted from the karaoke device 4 has been received, the song selection number of the karaoke performance performed for the karaoke performance, the scoring result of the karaoke song performed along with the karaoke performance, It is necessary that the received user ID and the serial number of the karaoke device 4 are included in the received information. If it is determined that the information transmitted from the karaoke device 4 has not been received (S300: NO), the process waits until the information transmitted from the karaoke device 4 is received by repeatedly executing S300.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the information transmitted from the karaoke device 4 has been received (S300: YES, see arrow 3 in FIG. 6A), the user who made the reservation for the karaoke performance song is registered as a user. It is determined whether or not (S302). Specifically, the user is registered as a user when the user ID of the user who made a reservation for the karaoke performance song is registered in the registered user list of the database 2b with reference to the stored contents of the database 2b. Judge. If it is determined that the user is not registered as a user (S302: NO), the process proceeds to S300.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the user who made the reservation for the karaoke performance song is registered as a user (S302: YES), from the information related to the karaoke song of the user having the user ID included in the previously received information. , A record including the same music selection number as the music selection number included in the previously received information is extracted, and the analysis scoring result included in the extracted record is compared with the analysis scoring result included in the previously received information. (S304). If the value of the analysis scoring result included in the previously received information is smaller than the value of the analysis scoring result included in the extracted record (S304: NO), the previously received information is discarded. Return to S300. When the value of the analysis scoring result included in the previously received information is larger than the value of the analysis scoring result included in the extracted record (S304: YES), the information received earlier is registered in the database 2b. (S306). Then, the process proceeds to S300.

[Effect of the first embodiment]
(1) Thus, according to the karaoke network system 1 of 1st embodiment, there exist the following effects. That is, in S112 of the analysis scoring result display process (1), the control unit 12 of the karaoke apparatus 4 acquires the set value of the current speed control value in the karaoke apparatus 4, and the past analysis scoring results received in S110. Referring to the speed control value, the past speed control value and the current speed control value in the karaoke apparatus 4 are normalized with respect to the past analysis scoring results so that both have the same performance speed. The normalized past analysis scoring result is displayed on the monitor 36 (S114, see FIG. 3). Then, referring to the above-mentioned reserved song list, the song data of the karaoke performance song to be performed next is read from the HDD 16 to start the karaoke performance (S116), and the voice signal of the karaoke song input from the microphone 26 is obtained. Scoring is performed for each section, and the analysis scoring result for each section is displayed on the monitor 36 (S118, see FIG. 3).

  This makes it possible to compare the scoring result of the past singing and the scoring result of the current singing more accurately even when the performance speed is different between the past singing and the current singing. In addition, it becomes possible to compare not only the singer himself but also the fellows (other users) who came to sing together at that time and the scoring results at the time of singing. Therefore, more accurate scoring results can be obtained when scoring the user's singing performed during karaoke performance.

  (2) Also, according to the karaoke network system 1 of the first embodiment, in S108 of the analysis scoring result display process (1), the song selection number of the karaoke performance song to be performed next with reference to the reserved song list The user ID of the user who made the reservation and the serial number of the karaoke device 4 are transmitted to the karaoke host server 2 by controlling the interface unit 14, and the past analysis scoring results transmitted from the karaoke host server 2 The speed control value is received via the interface unit 14 (S110). This process is executed before the karaoke performance starts in S116.

  In this way, if the past analysis scoring results and speed control values are acquired in advance, such as at the time of reservation, if the reservation is canceled, the resources spent on the acquisition will be wasted. As described above, by acquiring the past analysis scoring results and the speed control value at the start of karaoke performance of the reserved song, it is possible to prevent the above-described waste of resources.

  (3) Moreover, according to the karaoke network system 1 of the first embodiment, in the analysis scoring result display process (1), the music data of the karaoke performance music to be performed next with reference to the reserved music list described above. Is read from the HDD 16 and the karaoke performance is started (S116), the voice signal of the karaoke song input from the microphone 26 is scored for each section, and the analysis scoring result for each section is displayed on the monitor 36 (S118, FIG. 3). In accordance with the setting, the scoring results for each section and the normalized past analysis scoring results previously displayed on the monitor 36 are displayed simultaneously so that they can be compared (S120, FIG. 3). reference). This makes it possible to attract the interests of the user and other users to the karaoke performance and singing during the karaoke performance, as compared with the case where the comparison result is displayed only after the karaoke performance is completed, for example. In addition, the user can refer to the singing method while viewing the scoring results for each section.

(4) Moreover, according to the karaoke network system 1 of the first embodiment, in the analysis scoring result display process (1), the analysis scoring result of the karaoke song accompanying the current karaoke performance and the speed control value in the karaoke device 4 are obtained. The karaoke host server 2 transmits the received information to the karaoke host server 2 via the interface unit 14 (S122), and the karaoke host server 2 confirms that the received information belongs to the registered user in the analysis scoring result registration process. Above (S302: YES), the past analysis scoring result and the current analysis scoring result are compared (S304). If the value of the current analysis scoring result is larger than the value of the past analysis scoring result, The current analysis scoring result is registered in the database 2b (S306).

  Thus, even when different karaoke devices 4 sing the same karaoke performance piece, it is possible to acquire the scoring history information that is the past scoring result and perform the comparison as described above.

  (5) Moreover, according to the karaoke network system 1 of the first embodiment, in the analysis scoring result display process (1), when the voice signal of the karaoke song input from the microphone 26 is scored for each section, Since the acquisition of n data is set in advance, the number of data included in the unit time changes when the scale is changed, and fine scoring is possible. Since the singing position and the scoring position match each other when displayed in a normalized manner, the scoring positions are different from each other. The scoring value corresponding to the same singing position as one singing position is calculated from the scoring values before and after the scoring position, and the other scoring at the same scoring position as one scoring position It is not necessary to supplement the, it is possible to reduce the burden of the processing of the control unit 12.

[Other Embodiments]
As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, It is possible to implement in the following various aspects.

  (1) In the above embodiment, in the analysis scoring result display process (1), before the karaoke performance starts in S116, the past analysis scoring results and speed control values transmitted from the karaoke host server 2 are displayed in the interface unit. 14 (S110), but the present invention is not limited to this, and past analysis scoring results and speed control values may be acquired when a karaoke performance is reserved by the user.

  (2) In the above embodiment, in the analysis scoring result display process (1), the comparison result of the analysis scoring results for each section is sequentially displayed during the karaoke performance (S116 to S120). At the end, a comparison between past scoring results and current scoring results may be displayed.

  (3) In the above embodiment, in the analysis scoring result display process (1), the analysis scoring result of the karaoke song accompanying the current karaoke performance and the speed control value in the karaoke device 4 are sent via the interface unit 14 to the karaoke host. On the other hand, the karaoke host server 2 confirms that the received information belongs to the registered user in the analysis scoring result registration process (S302: YES), and the past is transmitted to the server 2 (S122). The analysis scoring result is compared with the current analysis scoring result (S304), and if the value of the current analysis scoring result is larger than the value of the past analysis scoring result, the current analysis scoring result is registered in the database 2b. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the past analysis scoring results are compared with the current analysis scoring results as described above. In the present analysis scoring results may be with a code indicating increase or decrease of the value of the analysis rating result to be registered in the database 2b. In addition, you may make it display the code | symbol which shows such increase / decrease on the monitor 36 with a scoring result.

  In this way, in order to measure the progress of the singing, by adding a time element to the analytical scoring results and comparing the scoring results with the old and new times, the singing ability for the performance song has improved or decreased The user can identify whether he is doing it.

(4) In the above embodiment, in the analysis scoring result display process (1), when scoring the voice signal of the karaoke song input from the microphone 26 for each section, it is necessary to obtain n data per song in advance. Although it sets, it is not restricted to this, You may set beforehand so that n data may be acquired per unit time. However, if this is done, the number of data included in the unit time changes when the scale is changed, so it is necessary to complement the previous and subsequent values.
[Second Embodiment]
In said 1st embodiment, selecting the scoring history information at the time of singing the same karaoke performance music as the karaoke performance music from the past scoring history information of the user who reserved the karaoke performance music which performs a karaoke performance next time It is characterized by. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, from the past scoring history information of the user who reserved the karaoke performance song to be performed next and the past scoring history information of other users who are logged in at the same time as the user, Scoring history information when singing the same karaoke performance song as the karaoke performance song is selected.

Below, the karaoke network system 1 of 2nd embodiment is demonstrated.
In addition, since the structure of the karaoke network system 1 of 2nd embodiment is the same as the structure of the karaoke network system 1 of 1st embodiment, the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted here.

  The karaoke network system 1 of the second embodiment is different from the karaoke network system 1 of the first embodiment, and instead of the above-described analysis scoring result display process (1) and analysis scoring result transmission process (1), an analysis scoring is performed. Result display processing (2) and analysis scoring result transmission processing (2) are executed. Moreover, the karaoke network system 1 of 2nd embodiment performs an analysis scoring result registration process similarly to the karaoke network system 1 of 1st embodiment.

Next, the analysis scoring result display process (2) and the analysis scoring result transmission process (2) will be described in order.
[Description of analysis scoring result display process (2)]
Below, the process procedure of the analysis scoring result display process (2) performed by the control part 12 of the karaoke apparatus 4 of the karaoke network system 1 is demonstrated based on the flowchart of FIG. 8, FIG. 7, and FIG. FIG. 7A is an explanatory diagram showing a display example of the current analysis scoring result, and FIG. 7B is an explanatory diagram showing a display example of the normalized past analysis scoring result. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram (2) showing the flow of analysis scoring result data transmitted and received between the karaoke host server and the karaoke apparatus.

A supplementary explanation will be given below with reference to FIG. 7A shows the relationship between the current scoring position and the number of scores actually measured at that position, and the ◇ point shown in FIG. 7B shows the past scoring position and its position. The relationship of the number of marks actually measured is shown. Note that the scoring intervals in the second embodiment are different from the scoring intervals in the first embodiment. In the first embodiment, a predetermined number n is scored, and the scoring quantity (number of samples) is constant. In the second embodiment, the scoring time interval is scored at a predetermined time interval. (Sampling time) is constant. Furthermore, when simultaneously displaying analysis scoring results with different performance speeds in this time and in the past, as in the first embodiment, if the current performance time and the past performance time are not displayed on the X axis, the scoring indicated on the Y axis is displayed. Since the results are difficult to compare, the two songs are normalized and displayed. Also, if the current analysis scoring results and the current analysis scoring results with a fixed scoring time interval are displayed in a normalized manner, the scoring positions of the two songs are different. For example, the past performance time is adjusted to the current performance time shown in FIG. In this case, one of the current scoring positions is identified (point A in FIG. 7 (a)), and two scoring points before and after the past analysis scoring results at that scoring position (B1 points, B2 points) ) Is specified, and the B1 point and the B2 point are linearly interpolated to calculate the B point score, and this is the past score corresponding to the current A point score. The other scoring positions are calculated in the same way, and each of them is set as the Δ point shown in FIG. 7B, so that the performance times of two songs with different scoring positions are matched and normalized and displayed.
Since the points ○ and △ coincide with each other on the X-axis, it is easy to compare the analysis scores when the performance speed is different between this time and the past. In FIG. 7, the interpolation is linear interpolation. Since linear interpolation is simpler than other interpolation methods (for example, quadratic curve interpolation), in the karaoke field, there is a possibility that the performance of a song may be hindered. This is because it is lower than the interpolation method. In the first embodiment, since the number n is determined in advance, it is not possible to change the performance speed by changing the speed control value in the course of the song. However, in the second embodiment, the scoring time interval is constant. Since the performance speed can be changed, there is a feature that the convenience of analysis scoring is improved for the user.

This analysis scoring result display process (2) is executed independently of other processes when the karaoke apparatus 4 of the karaoke network system 1 is activated.
First, when analysis scoring is started (S400), it is determined by referring to the reserved song list stored in the HDD 16 whether or not a karaoke performance song is reserved (S402). If it is determined that the karaoke performance song is not reserved (S402: NO), it waits until there is a karaoke song selection by the user performed by the remote control terminal 5 (S404). Then, it is determined whether or not a karaoke song is selected (S406). If it is determined that a karaoke song is not selected (S406: NO), the process returns to S404. Is determined (S406: YES), the process proceeds to S408. If it is determined in S402 that a karaoke performance song has been reserved (S402: YES), the process proceeds to S408.

  In subsequent S408, referring to the above-mentioned reserved song list, the song selection number of the karaoke song to be played next, the user who made the reservation, and the user ID of each of the other users logged in at the same time and the user, The serial number of the karaoke device 4 is transmitted to the karaoke host server 2 by controlling the interface unit 14 (see S408, arrow 1 in FIG. 10). In this case, the user ID to be transmitted may be selected. Then, the past analysis scoring results and speed control values transmitted from the karaoke host server 2 are received via the interface unit 14 (see S410, arrow 2 in FIG. 10). In this case, the past analysis scoring results and speed control values transmitted from the karaoke host server 2 are not limited to information related to the user who made the reservation, but information related to other users who are logged in simultaneously with the user. Can be.

  In subsequent S412, the set value of the current speed control value in the karaoke device 4 is acquired, and the past speed control value and the karaoke device are referred to by referring to the previously received analysis scoring result and the speed control value. From the current speed control value in 4, normalization is performed on the past analysis scoring results so that both have the same performance speed (S 412). Then, the normalized past analysis scoring results are displayed on the monitor 36 (S414, see FIG. 7B).

  Next, referring to the reserved music list, the music data of the karaoke performance music to be performed next is read from the HDD 16 and the karaoke performance is started (S416). Then, the voice signal of the karaoke song input from the microphone 26 is scored for each section, and the analysis scoring result for each section is displayed on the monitor 36 (see S418, FIG. 7A). At that time, it is set in advance to obtain n pieces of data per song. Further, according to the setting, an effect may be performed such that the scoring results for each section and the normalized past analysis scoring results previously displayed on the monitor 36 are displayed simultaneously so that they can be compared (S420, FIG. 7).

Furthermore, the analysis score of the karaoke song accompanying this karaoke performance and the speed control value in the karaoke apparatus 4 are transmitted to the karaoke host server 2 via the interface unit 14 (see S422, arrow 3 in FIG. 10). Then, the process proceeds to S402.

[Description of analysis scoring result transmission process (2)]
Below, the process procedure of the analysis scoring result transmission process (2) performed by the karaoke host server 2 of the karaoke network system 1 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

This analysis scoring result transmission process (2) is executed independently of other processes when the karaoke host server 2 is activated.
First, it is determined whether or not the information transmitted from the karaoke apparatus 4 has been received in S408 of the analysis scoring result display process described above (S500). Here, in order to determine that the information transmitted from the karaoke apparatus 4 has been received, the song selection number of the karaoke performance song to be performed next, the user who made the reservation, and the user logged in at the same time It is necessary that the received user ID and the serial number of the karaoke apparatus 4 are included in the received information. When it is determined that the information transmitted from the karaoke device 4 has not been received (S500: NO), the process waits until the information transmitted from the karaoke device 4 is received by repeatedly executing S500.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the information transmitted from the karaoke device 4 has been received (S500: YES, see arrow 1 in FIG. 10), is the user group who reserved the karaoke performance song registered as a user? It is determined whether or not (S502). Specifically, referring to the stored contents of the database 2b, the user ID of the user who made the reservation for the karaoke performance song and the user IDs of other users who are logged in simultaneously with the user are the user registration database of the database 2b. If it is registered in 2c, it is determined that the user group is registered as a user. If it is determined that the user group is not registered as a user (S502: NO), the process proceeds to S500.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the user group that reserved the karaoke performance song is registered as a user (S502: YES), information on the karaoke song of the user having the user ID included in the previously received information. The record including the music selection number that is the same as the music selection number included in the previously received information is extracted, and the analysis scoring result and the speed control value included in the extracted record are extracted via the interface unit 14 first. The data is transmitted to the karaoke apparatus 4 having the serial number included in the received information (S504, see arrow 2 in FIG. 10). Then, the process proceeds to S500.

[Effects of Second Embodiment]
(1) Thus, according to the karaoke network system 1 of the second embodiment, the past scoring history information of the user who reserved the karaoke performance music to be performed next and other users who are logged in simultaneously with the user From the past scoring history information, scoring history information at the time of singing the same karaoke performance music as the karaoke performance music is selected. As a result,
Comparison with the past scoring results of not only the user (singer) who reserved the next karaoke performance but also other users who are logged in simultaneously with the user is possible.

Although not shown in the figure, when comparing with a plurality of logged-in user IDs, a user ID to be compared may be selected.
[Other Embodiments]
As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, It is possible to implement in various aspects.
[Third embodiment]
In the first embodiment, from the past scoring history information of the user who reserved the karaoke performance song to be performed next, the scoring history information when singing the same karaoke performance song as the karaoke performance music is selected. It is characterized by. On the other hand, in the third embodiment, from the past scoring history information of the user who reserved the karaoke performance song to perform the next karaoke performance and the past scoring history information of other users who are logged in at the same time as the user, Scoring history information when singing the same karaoke performance song as the karaoke performance song is selected.

Below, the karaoke network system 1 of 3rd embodiment is demonstrated.
In addition, since the structure of the karaoke network system 1 of 3rd embodiment is the same as the structure of the karaoke network system 1 of 1st embodiment, the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted here.

  Moreover, unlike the karaoke network system 1 of the first embodiment, the karaoke network system 1 of the third embodiment executes an analysis scoring result display process (3) instead of the above-described analysis scoring result display process (1). . Moreover, the karaoke network system 1 of 2nd embodiment performs the analysis scoring result transmission process (1) and the analysis scoring result registration process similarly to the karaoke network system 1 of 1st embodiment.

[Description of analysis scoring result display process (3)]
Below, the process procedure of the analysis scoring result display process (3) performed by the control part 12 of the karaoke apparatus 4 of the karaoke network system 1 is demonstrated based on the flowchart of FIG.

This analysis scoring result display process (3) is executed independently of other processes when the karaoke apparatus 4 of the karaoke network system 1 is activated.
First, when analysis scoring is started (S600), it is determined by referring to the reserved song list stored in the HDD 16 whether or not a karaoke performance song is reserved (S602). If it is determined that the karaoke performance song is not reserved (S602: NO), it waits until the user selects the karaoke performance song performed by the remote control terminal 5 (S604). Then, it is determined whether or not a karaoke performance song is selected (S606). If it is determined that a karaoke performance song is not selected (S606: NO), the process returns to S604, while the karaoke performance song is selected. If it is determined that the music selection is made (S606: YES), the process proceeds to S608. If it is determined in S602 that a karaoke performance song is reserved (S602: YES), the process proceeds to S608.

  In subsequent S608, the interface section 14 is referred to by referring to the reserved song list described above, the song selection number of the karaoke song to be played next, the user ID of the user who made the reservation, and the serial number of the karaoke device 4. It is controlled and transmitted to the karaoke host server 2 (see S608, arrow 1 in FIG. 6A). Then, the past analysis scoring results and speed control values transmitted from the karaoke host server 2 are received via the interface unit 14 (see S610, arrow 2 in FIG. 6A).

  In addition, from the past scoring history information of the user and other users who are logged in at the same time as the user, the music selection number that is the same as the music selection number of the karaoke performance song to be performed next is included. Information is searched (S612).

In subsequent S614, the setting value of the current speed control value in the karaoke device 4 is acquired, and the past speed control value and the karaoke device are referred to by referring to the past analysis scoring result and speed control value received earlier. Based on the current speed control value in step 4, the past analysis scoring results are normalized so that both have the same performance speed (S614). In this normalization, when information including the music selection number that is the same as the music selection number of the karaoke performance music to be performed next in S612 is extracted, the analysis scoring result included in the extracted information and A speed control value may be used. Then, the normalized past analysis scoring results are displayed on the monitor 36 (S616, see FIG. 3).

  Subsequently, referring to the reserved music list, the music data of the karaoke performance music to be performed next is read from the HDD 16 and the karaoke performance is started (S618). And the audio | voice signal of the karaoke song input from the microphone 26 is scored for every area, and the analysis scoring result for every area is displayed on the monitor 36 (refer FIG. 3 in S620). At that time, it is set in advance to obtain n pieces of data per song. Further, according to the setting, an effect may be performed such that the scoring results for each section and the normalized past analysis scoring results previously displayed on the monitor 36 are displayed simultaneously so that they can be compared (S622, FIG. 3).

  Further, the analysis score of the karaoke song accompanying this karaoke performance and the speed control value in the karaoke apparatus 4 are temporarily stored in the HDD 16 (S624) and transmitted to the karaoke host server 2 via the interface unit 14. (See S626, arrow 3 in FIG. 6A). Then, the process proceeds to S602.

[Effect of the third embodiment]
(1) Thus, according to the karaoke network system 1 of 3rd embodiment, there exist the following effects. That is, for example, the grading result and the speed control value are transmitted to the karaoke host server 2 and stored in the HDD 16 or the memory in the karaoke apparatus 4 where the grading is performed. Acquired from the karaoke host server 4, and scoring history information of other users is acquired from the HDD 16 or the memory in the karaoke apparatus 4. At this time, the user IDs of other users are searched or read from the HDD 16 or the memory in the karaoke apparatus 4 and displayed as a list. As a result, for other logged-in users, the karaoke host server 2 is not subjected to user information inquiries or scoring history information acquisition processing, so the access time to the karaoke host server 2 can be shortened. it can.

  (2) Moreover, according to the karaoke network system 1 of the third embodiment, when desired scoring history information is stored in the karaoke device 4, the scoring history information is preferentially acquired from the karaoke device 4. On the other hand, since the scoring history information is acquired from the karaoke host server 2 when the desired scoring history information is not stored in the karaoke device 4, the access time to the karaoke host server 2 can be further shortened. it can.

[Other Embodiments]
As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, It is possible to implement in the following various aspects.
