This audio / video information is a file compressed in the MPEG format or the like. Unlike the MIDI data described above, the audio information is information created by recording, and the video information is created by superimposing lyrics to be sung on the video taken by the person. It has become.

  All lyrics display performed by the remote control device 1 in the present embodiment uses all lyrics information in the music information stored on the commander 1 side. Therefore, it is not necessary to store all lyrics information in the database stored in the memory 14 on the remote control device 1 side, and the storage capacity of the memory 14 can be suppressed. By the way, there is a music that includes all lyrics information as in the standard type of FIG. 5A and a music that does not include all lyrics information as in the person video type in FIG. 5B. . In such a case, all lyrics can be displayed using all lyrics information for the standard type music, but all lyrics cannot be displayed for the personal video type music.

  In order to avoid such an inconvenience, information provided in the present embodiment is a group ID (group identifier) and an all lyrics flag. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between music pieces according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, a common group ID is assigned to different types of music that are the same music. Each type of music is provided with an all-lyric flag indicating whether or not the music information has all lyrics information. In the present embodiment, with respect to the music specified by the remote control device 1, it is determined whether or not all lyrics can be displayed with reference to the all lyrics flag. If all the lyrics cannot be displayed, It is possible to display all lyrics by using all lyrics information of the music for which the all lyrics flag is valid.

The group ID, all lyrics flag, and music type of this embodiment are configured to be embedded in music related information having display information. However, it is also possible to construct a new database different from the display information with these information. Good.

  Returning to the flowchart of the music confirmation screen display process in FIG. 2, in S103, all the lyrics flags are acquired from the music related information acquired in S102. In S104, the validity of all the lyrics flags is determined. As shown in FIG. 3, when the all lyrics flag is invalid (flag: 0), the corresponding song information is a song type that does not include all lyrics information, and the all lyrics flag is valid (flag: 1). Indicates a music type in which all lyrics information is included in the corresponding music.

  When the all lyrics flag is valid (S104: Yes), it is determined that the song ID acquired in S101 is a song in which lyrics information that can display all lyrics is embedded, and all the lyrics information is acquired as it is. Is stored as the lyric information acquisition song ID (S105). In S106, the all-lyric information button 111 is displayed on the music confirmation screen (FIG. 6) displayed on the display unit 11 together with the display information in the music related information.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a music confirmation screen (music for all lyrics) according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, on the right side of the screen, an all lyrics display button 111 displayed as "View the continuation of lyrics" is displayed on the touch panel (display unit 11), and the user presses this all lyrics display button 111. By performing a touch operation (operation unit 17), the screen of the display unit 11 moves to the all lyrics display screen (FIG. 13), and all the lyrics of this music can be confirmed. FIG. 13 shows an example of this all lyrics display screen. If all the lyrics cannot fit in the display frame, the lyrics can be scrolled and checked by operating the “Previous Page” button and the “Back Page” button.

  In addition, the song confirmation screen displays the song ID, song type, and key setting in addition to the display information in the song related information such as song name, singer name, singing, original song key, and the like. In the music confirmation screen of this embodiment, in addition to various information for confirming such music, it is possible to change the music type and change the key settings when singing. The figure shows a state where the standard type is selected as the music type of the selected music. By operating the “Change” button, the same music can be changed to an available music type. Is possible.

  FIG. 7 shows a music type selection screen according to the embodiment of the present invention. When the “change” button displayed in the music type column in the music confirmation screen of FIG. 6 is operated, a transition is made to this music type selection screen, and the candidates for the available music types for the same music are displayed. The In this example, there are different song types for the song name “Natsu no Umi”, including standard, live performance, and guide vocals, and the user can select a favorite song type from these candidates. . The user who has finished selecting the music type operates the “Close” button to return to the music confirmation screen.

  Key setting is a function to change the key (pitch) at the time of singing. By operating the “change” button displayed in the key setting field, the screen changes to another screen for setting (not shown). However, it is possible to adjust the key setting set for karaoke singing in semitone units. The key setting in the state shown in the figure is “−4”. When this is changed to “+2”, the original music key, that is, the pitch set by the singer is set.

Furthermore, the music confirmation screen of this embodiment is provided with a music detail display button 112 labeled “More about this music”. By operating the music detail display button 112, it is possible to transition to the music detail screen and confirm music related information that is not displayed on the music confirmation screen. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the music detail screen, and shows a state after the music detail display button 112 is operated on the music confirmation screen of FIG. In this music detail screen, in addition to the singer name, music name, and singing that were displayed on the music confirmation screen, the program name of the program used, the product name of the CM used, etc. In addition, additional information is displayed. Further, it is possible to search for a singer of this music and music related to the program used. In this music detail confirmation screen, as in the music confirmation screen, an all lyrics display button 113 labeled “View the continuation of lyrics” is provided. By operating this all lyrics display button 113, it is possible to transition to the all lyrics display screen shown in FIG. 13 and confirm the lyrics.

  Returning to the music confirmation screen display process of FIG. 2, when the all lyrics flag is invalid (S104: No) for the specified music, other music search information is searched and the music search information of the specified music is searched. The music search information of the other music having the group ID and the common group ID is extracted. Then, in each piece of music search information having a common group ID, it is determined whether or not there is a piece of music for which all the lyrics flags are valid. As described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, in the karaoke apparatus, there may be a plurality of different music types even for the same music. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the same music is associated with each other by a group ID (group identifier). For example, let us consider a case where a song having a song ID “2222” is identified in FIG. Referring to this music-related information, it can be seen that all the lyrics information is not present in the music information stored on the commander 2 side because the all lyrics flag is “invalid” for this music.

  In such a case, for other music pieces having a common group ID, it is confirmed whether or not there is a music piece for which all the lyrics flags are “valid”. In the case of FIG. 4, it can be seen that the three lyrics of the song ID: 1111, song ID: 3333, and song ID: 4444 have the “valid” all lyrics flag. In such a case (S107: Yes), the music ID of the music whose all lyrics flag is “valid” is acquired (S109), and all the lyrics information is acquired for one of the acquired music IDs. Is stored in the memory 14 as a music ID (hereinafter, lyrics information acquisition music ID). As shown in FIG. 4, when there are a plurality of songs having all the lyrics flags set to “valid”, any one song ID is set as the lyrics information acquisition song ID. In that case, although it may select at random, it is preferable to compare the addition time of music search information, and to use the newest music, ie, the music added most recently.

  When the music ID is added in a predetermined order, the latest music can be determined by the music ID. In the case of FIG. 4, when the numerical value of the newly added music increases as the music ID assignment rule increases, the latest music (music ID: 4444) among the music for which all the lyrics flags are “valid”. Is selected as the lyrics information acquisition song ID. By using all the lyrics information of the latest music in this way, when the music information of a new type of music type is additionally recorded in the commander 2, there is a mistake in the description of all the lyrics information of the previous type of music information. It is possible to use correct all lyrics information when it is corrected. Although a specific procedure for distinguishing between the previous type and the new type is not shown, generally, when music information is distributed from the karaoke host 5 to the commander 2 and recorded in the HDD 32, and for karaoke When the music related information is distributed from the host 5 to the remote control device 1 and the music search database in the memory 14 is updated, the version number described above is set in advance for each of the music information and the music related information on the karaoke host 5 side. Can also be specified whether it is the previous type or a new type.

Since all lyrics information can be acquired in S111, the all lyrics display button 111 is displayed in the music confirmation screen as in S106. On the other hand, if there is no song whose all lyrics flag is “valid” even for songs having a common group ID (S107: No), the all lyrics display button 111 is hidden and the user selects all lyrics display. Display the music confirmation screen in a disabled state. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a music confirmation screen (music not corresponding to all lyrics) according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown by a broken line, the all lyrics display button 111 is not displayed, and the user can display all lyrics. The display function cannot be used. In this case, the all lyrics display button 113 is also hidden on the music detail screen of FIG. 9 or is in a semi-hidden state that does not react even if operated.

  As described above, the music confirmation screen display processing has been described based on the flowchart of FIG. 2, but in this embodiment, when all lyrics can be displayed, the all lyrics display button 111 on the music confirmation screen or the music details are displayed. When all the lyrics display button 113 in the screen is operable, and all lyrics cannot be displayed, all the lyrics can be displayed to the user by disabling the non-display or half-display. It becomes possible to visually confirm that the lyric display function cannot be used. In addition, even when music information does not include all lyrics information, it is possible to use music having all lyrics information among songs having a common group ID.

  Then, in the remote controller 1, the all lyrics display button 111 in the music confirmation screen in FIG. 6 or the all lyrics display button 113 in the music details screen in FIG. 9 is operated, and the all lyrics display screen shown in FIG. A process for displaying is described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing processing when the all lyrics display button is pressed according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a data structure of lyrics request information according to the embodiment of the present invention. These are the flowcharts which show the commander side response process which concerns on embodiment of this invention.

  10 is a process that is started by the control unit 15 when all the lyrics display buttons 111 and 113 are pressed by the user. When the process is started, the lyrics information acquisition music ID stored in the memory 14 in the music confirmation screen display process is read (S201). Then, the lyrics request information including the acquired lyrics information acquisition music ID is transmitted to the commander 2 associated in advance via the wireless LAN communication unit 16 (S202).

  FIG. 11 shows the data structure of the lyrics request information. The lyrics request information includes a remote control device ID for indicating a transmission source, a lyrics request flag indicating that the transmission content is lyrics request information, and a lyrics information acquisition song ID (music ID). . Note that when the remote control device 1 holds the ID of the commander 2 associated in advance, the commander ID may be included. The remote control device ID and commander ID can specify the other party by using the IP address, serial number, etc. of each device.

  When the lyrics request information is transmitted, there is a communication response from the commander 2 (S203: Yes), and the response information obtained at the time of the communication response indicates successful acquisition (S204: Yes), it is included in the response information All lyrics information is acquired (S205), and all lyrics information is displayed on the display unit 11, thereby forming the all lyrics display screen of FIG. 13 (S206). On the other hand, if there is no communication response from the commander 2 after waiting for a predetermined time (S203: No), a message indicating a communication error is displayed on the display unit 11. If the response information indicates an acquisition failure (S204: No), a message indicating an acquisition failure error is displayed on the display unit 11.

  On the other hand, FIG. 12 shows a response process by the control unit 30 on the commander 2 side that receives the lyrics request information from the remote control device 1 via the interface unit 24. In the karaoke system of this embodiment, the remote control device 1 and the commander 2 are connected in the same network via the LAN 100 and the access point 110. Various information transmitted from the remote control device 1 is broadcasted to the remote control device 1 or the commander 2 connected to the same network, and each remote control device 1 or the commander 2 determines whether or not the information is addressed to itself.

  In S301, the transmission information from the remote control device 1 is received, and the remote control device ID included in the transmission information is extracted (S302). In S303, it is determined whether or not the extracted remote control device ID is transmission information addressed to itself. The remote control device 1 and the commander 2 are associated in advance, and in this embodiment, the ID (remote control device ID) of the remote control device 1 associated with the commander 2 is stored. Based on the stored remote controller ID, it can be determined whether or not the transmission information is addressed to itself. When the commander ID is included in the transmission information from the remote control device 1, it is possible to determine whether or not the transmission information is addressed to itself using this commander ID.

  If it is determined that the transmission information is not addressed to itself (S303: No), the transmission information is discarded. On the other hand, if the transmission information is addressed to itself (S303: Yes), the corresponding processing is executed by determining the type of the transmission information. In S305, it is determined whether or not the transmission information is music reservation information. The music reservation information is information transmitted from the remote control device 1 when the “reservation” button is operated on the music confirmation screen of FIG. 6, and plays the music displayed on the music confirmation screen to the commander 2. It is information to make it. This music reservation information includes a music ID for playing.

  When the music reservation information is received, the music ID included in the transmission information is added to the reservation table, and the series of processing ends. The commander 2 executes performance processing for causing the acoustic control unit 70 to sequentially perform performance information corresponding to the music IDs added to the reservation table.

  When the transmission information is the lyrics request information described in FIG. 11 (S307: Yes), the music information stored in the HDD 32 is searched, and all the music information corresponding to the lyrics information acquisition music ID included in the lyrics request information is searched. Lyric information is extracted (S308). The extracted all lyrics information is included in the response information, and is returned as a communication response of the lyrics request information to the remote control device 1 to which the lyrics request information has been transmitted via the interface unit 24 (S309).
