DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of the invention to provide a microphone for automatic accompaniment which stores and outputs a song voice signal resulting from a user's song according to the accompaniment melody or a mixed sound signal resulting from the user's song to the accompaniment of a selected melody.
It is another object of the invention to provide a microphone for automatic accompaniment and a receiver for receiving a signal from the microphone in which the microphone serves to transmit a mixed voice signal, a background image corresponding to an accompaniment melody and image control data of the song caption image, and in which the receiver serves to receive the song voice signal resulting from the user's song and/or the mixed voice signal outputted from the microphone for automatic accompaniment, wherein the receiver transmits the same to the television receiver set and at the same time generates a caption image of song words and a background image according to the received image control data.
In order to achieve the above and other objects of the present invention, the microphone for automatic accompaniment according to the present invention comprises record/playback means and accompaniment melody/song voice signal output means for outputting a song voice (audio) signal or a mixed voice(audio) signal mixed with the song voice signal, and the mixed voice signal outputted form the accompaniment melody/song voice signal output means is stored by the record/playback means and converted into an FM signal by transmitting means to be transmitted to a receiver.
A song to the accompaniment of a melody is completed, and when a user selects a playback operation, the mixed voice signal stored in the record/playback means or the song voice signal is reproduced through the record/playback means and transmitted with an FM signal through the transmitting means.
The record/playback means comprises a memory unit, an analogue-to-digital converter and a digital-to-analogue converter.
The analogue/digital converter converts the output signal signal outputted from the accompaniment melody/song voice (audio) signal into a digital signal to be stored in the memory unit
