DESCRIPTION JPH08280083
[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a
microphone device which synthesizes prestored image data and sound data with a signal such as
voice inputted from a microphone and transmits the signal to a television signal monitor by
radio. is there.
[0002]
2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, portable karaoke devices other than stationary
karaoke devices have become widespread as karaoke devices for enjoying karaoke and the like.
This small-sized karaoke device connects a microphone cord extended from a microphone to the
main body, and also mounts a cartridge type storage medium storing data such as
accompaniment music on the main body, and transmits signals such as voice input from the
microphone The data such as the accompaniment tunes read out from the storage medium is
synthesized, and transmitted to the FM receiver by the FM signal band for reproduction. The list
of accompaniment songs is displayed on a liquid crystal display unit provided in the main unit,
and the accompaniment songs to be read out from the storage medium are selected from the
displayed list. When an accompaniment song is selected, a background image including subtitles
such as the lyrics of the selected accompaniment song is displayed on the liquid crystal display
unit.

Since the conventional microphone device is configured as described above, the liquid crystal
display unit provided on the main unit displays a list of accompaniment songs and the lyrics of
the selected accompaniment songs, and The size of the display unit is also limited, and the list of
accompaniment songs to be displayed and the lyrics of the selected accompaniment songs are
finely displayed, which makes it difficult to read.
[0004]
Also, the microphone is connected to the main body by the microphone cord, and there is also a
problem that the microphone can not be held and moved freely.
[0005]
In addition, since the liquid crystal display unit for displaying a list of accompaniment songs is
embedded in the side of the main unit, the accompaniment song list or lyrics displayed on the
liquid crystal display unit may be read depending on the angle of the display surface of the liquid
crystal display unit. There was a problem that became difficult.
[0006]
The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and an object of the present
invention is to transmit and output an image wirelessly to a monitor device having a large display
screen and to move freely while holding the microphone. To provide a microphone device that
can

5
buttons 5 of the operation unit 3 to select the karaoke image data and sound data stored in the
karaoke data memory 12.
As a result, since the karaoke song title list stored in the karaoke data memory 12 is displayed on
the screens of the liquid crystal display unit 4 and the monitor 26, the selected song title list is
selected. When a song title is selected, sound data and lyrics of an accompaniment song
corresponding to the selected song title, and further image data such as a video serving as a
background are read from the karaoke data memory 12 and correspond to the selected song
title. The lyrics of the accompaniment tune to be displayed are displayed on the liquid crystal
display unit 4, and the sound data and lyrics of the accompaniment tune and image data such as
a video to be a background are converted into an analog signal by the D / A conversion unit 22
and signal generation The signal is supplied to the unit 23, converted into a television signal,
transmitted as a television signal by the transmitting unit 24 via the transmission antenna 25 to
the monitor device 26, and displayed on the screen of the monitor device 26.
[0020]
In this case, when it is difficult to see the song title list displayed on the liquid crystal display unit
4 or the lyrics of the selected accompaniment song, the operation unit 3 is rotated in the
direction of the arrow shown in FIG. Adjust the angle so that the display surface can be viewed
easily.
[0021]
When the user of the microphone device 1 inputs voice and the like from the microphone 2 in
accordance with the accompaniment tune reproduced by the monitor device 26, this voice signal
is wirelessly transmitted from the wireless antenna 19 of the microphone 2 and detected by the
receiving antenna 20 The signal is detected and amplified in the receiving unit 21 and output to
the signal generating unit 23.
The audio signal sent from the microphone 2 and output to the signal generation unit 23 is
sound data of an accompaniment song converted into an analog signal by the D / A conversion
unit 22 and image data such as lyrics and video as a background. A television signal that is
synthesized and includes the audio signal and the image data is transmitted from the
transmission unit 24 to the monitor device 26 via the transmission antenna 25.

[0022]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the audio signal input from the
microphone 2 is synthesized with the sound data of the accompaniment music, the lyrics, and the
image data such as the video serving as the background, and reproduced on the large monitor 26
of the display screen. Therefore, a list of accompaniment songs and characters such as lyrics are
displayed in a large size, and a video as a background is also projected in the same manner as a
normal television video. In addition, since the microphone 2 and the microphone device body 1
are connected wirelessly, the movement while holding the microphone becomes free, and further,
the list of tune names displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 4 and the selected
accompaniment tunes When the lyrics and the like are hard to see, by rotating the operation unit
3, it is possible to adjust so that the song name list displayed on the display surface of the liquid
crystal display unit 4 or the lyrics of the selected accompaniment song can be clearly confirmed.
[0023]
As described above, according to the present invention, a signal output from a microphone is
combined with image data and sound data selected from a data storage medium, a television
signal is generated, and transmitted to the monitor means by radio. Therefore, there is no
restriction on movement in the state of possessing the microphone device, and the image data
can be largely displayed and output on the large monitor device of the screen, and the displayed
image data can be easily confirmed. There is.
[0024]
Further, according to the present invention, since image data and sound data for karaoke are
used, there is an effect that karaoke can be enjoyed effectively.
[0025]
Further, according to the present invention, since the angle of the display surface by the image
data display means is adjustable, it is possible to prevent the reading of the image displayed on
the display surface from being difficult to read due to the angle of the display surface. There is an
effect that image reading can be performed reliably.
