Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a music reproducing device provided with a display means for displaying lyrics.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of music reproducing apparatus, when a singer selects a song recorded on a recording medium such as a laser disk, the image data, lyrics data and performance data corresponding to the song are read. The video and lyrics corresponding to the video data and the lyrics data are displayed on the TV screen, and the sound based on the performance data is output from the speaker. When the singer sang in karaoke, he was singing along with the voice output from the speaker while watching the lyrics displayed on the TV screen.

[0003]

However, since the same lyrics are always displayed on the TV screen for the selected song, if one wants to sing a kae song, some of the lyrics displayed on the TV screen must be replaced. I couldn't sing or display the newly recreated lyrics on the TV screen.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides a music reproducing apparatus in which a singer can freely input lyrics and display the lyrics on a display means. With the goal.

[0005]

To achieve this object, a music reproducing apparatus of the present invention comprises an input means for inputting lyrics data, a storage means for storing the lyrics data input by the input means, and a storage means for storing the lyrics data. Control for reading the lyrics data from the storage means, synchronizing the lyrics data with the performance data read from the recording medium, playing based on the performance data, and displaying the lyrics corresponding to the lyrics data on the display means. And means.

[0006]

In the music reproducing apparatus of the present invention having the above structure, the lyrics data input by the input means is stored in the storage means. Then, the control means reads the lyrics data from the storage means, synchronizes the lyrics data with the performance data read from the recording medium, performs the performance based on the performance data, and displays the lyrics corresponding to the lyrics data on the display means. To do.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a music reproducing device embodying the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the music reproducing apparatus 20 of this embodiment, the switch panel 1 for editing lyrics includes terms such as dialect keys for editing lyrics as shown in FIG. It is composed of various keys such as the key 12, and is connected to the CPU 2. That cpu
2, a language storage unit 3 in which various terms such as dialects, buzzwords, foreign words, uncle words, and aunt words are stored in advance, and a RAM 4 for storing the lyrics data edited by the switch panel 1. The later-described synchronization adjustment unit 5 is connected. The synchronization adjustment unit 5 reads out the data from a laser disk 6 in which video data, lyrics data and performance data for a plurality of songs are stored, and an LD drive circuit 7 reads out the data from the laser disk 6. A voice control unit 9 for converting the generated performance data into a voice signal to be input to the speaker 8 and a display control unit 11 for converting the lyrics data and the video data into the lyrics and the video to be displayed on the TV screen 10. It is connected. The synchronization adjustment unit 5 adjusts the synchronization between the lyrics data read from the RAM 4 and the performance data read from the laser disk 6 by the LD drive circuit 7.

A method of using the music reproducing apparatus 20 having such a configuration will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

First, a main switch (not shown) is turned on, and a desired device is selected from the songs stored in the laser disk 6 by a selector (not shown) (S1). Then, the display key (not shown) is pressed (S2, YE
S), the lyrics of the song are displayed on the TV screen 10 (S
3). Further, when a term key 12 such as a dial key of the switch panel 1 is operated, a list thereof is read from the language storage section 3 as shown in FIG. 6, and the TV screen 10 is displayed together with the lyrics.
(S4), the operator edits the lyrics by operating various keys of the switch panel 1 while watching the TV screen 10 (S5). When the memory key 13 of the switch panel 1 is pressed after the lyrics are edited (S6, YES), the lyrics data for which the editing is completed is stored in the RAM 4 (S).
7).

Then, when the start key (not shown) is pressed (S8, YES), the performance data stored in the laser disk 6 is read by the LD drive circuit 7. The performance data is converted into a voice signal by the voice control unit 9, and the voice is output from the speaker 8. Further, the performance data is read by the LD drive circuit 7, the lyrics data is read from the RAM 4 in synchronization with the voice data by the action of the synchronization adjustment section 5, and the lyrics data is read from the laser disk 6 by the LD drive circuit 7. The displayed image data is displayed on the TV screen 10 as lyrics and images via the display control unit 11 (S9). Then, the singer can sing along with the voice output from the speaker 8 while watching the lyrics edited by the above-described editing operation.

Now, the synchronization control of the performance data and the lyrics data by the synchronization adjustment section 5 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 and FIG.

When the LD drive circuit 7 reads out the performance data 25 stored in the laser disk 6 (S10), the synchronization adjusting section 5 indicates that the performance data 25 indicates the start time point of one phrase shown in FIG. 4 (a). It is determined whether or not it is the phrase start data 21 shown (S11), and the phrase start data 2
If it is 1, the audio data 22 following it is read (S
12) After that, of the lyrics data 26 stored in the RAM 4, as shown in FIG. 4B, the lyrics head data 23 at the head of the phrase corresponding to the performance data 25 is detected (S13). Then, the character data 24 of the phrase is read (S14), and T is displayed via the display control unit 11.
It is displayed on the V screen 10 (S15). The voice data 22 of the phrase is output from the speaker 8 via the voice control unit 9 (S16).

When the voice output of the phrase is completed, the phrase start data 21 of the next phrase is detected (S1
7) The audio data is read out and the same operation is repeated thereafter. Then, the performance end data is detected (S18, Y
ES), the operation of the apparatus ends.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

For example, in order to edit lyrics, a keyboard having keys such as alphabet or kana may be provided in place of the switch panel 1, or a word processor or the like may be connected to a music reproducing device and the word processor may be used. The lyrics may be directly input to the music reproducing device.

Further, the configuration of the control means and the control method are not limited to the present embodiment as long as they can perform the same operations as in the present embodiment.

[0018]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the music reproducing apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to freely create a plurality of lyrics for one song and display the lyrics. Since it can be displayed on the screen, the user can sing with a variety of lyrics while watching the lyrics displayed on the display means.
