Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
A. Configuration FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of an electronic percussion instrument 100 equipped with an input device according to the present invention. The electronic percussion instrument 100 shown in this figure is roughly divided into a main body portion 10 and stick portions 20-1 and 20-2 which are respectively held by the left and right hands of the user. Hereinafter, the description will be divided into the configuration of the main body unit 10 and the configuration of the stick unit 20.

(1) Configuration of Main Unit 10 The main unit 10 includes a CPU 11, a ROM 12, a RAM 13, an operation unit 14, a display unit 15, a communication unit 16, a sound source unit 17, and a sound system 18. The CPU 11 executes a main body process (see FIG. 4), which will be described later, and instructs the pronunciation of a percussion instrument sound when a drum operation (performance operation) of shaking a stick is performed. On the other hand, unlike the drum operation (performance operation) in which the stick is shaken, when one of the stick units 20-1 and 20-2 is "flicked" and the other is pointed in a predetermined direction, the "pointing operation" Operation inputs corresponding to the “pointing operation” and “flick operation” are generated, and sequencer processing is controlled in accordance with the operation input. The processing operation of the CPU 11 will be described later. Also, “flick operation” and “pointing operation” will be described later.

  The ROM 12 stores various program data and control data that are loaded into the CPU 11. The various programs include a main body process (see FIG. 4) and a sequencer processing program (not shown) which will be described later. The RAM 13 includes a work area and a data area. In the work area of the RAM 13, various register / flag data used for the processing of the CPU 11 are temporarily stored.

  The data area of the RAM 13 stores output data (identification data, acceleration data, angle data, and azimuth data) from the stick unit 20 received and demodulated via the communication unit 16 described later. Of the output data from the stick unit 20, the identification data is data for discriminating whether the data is output from either the stick unit 20-1 or 20-2. The acceleration data and the angle data represent the acceleration and rotation angle for each roll axis, pitch axis, and yaw axis defined in the stick unit 20 shown in FIG. The azimuth data represents the azimuth angle of the roll axis.

  Further, in the data area of the RAM 13, an example conversion table T illustrated in FIG. 2 is provided. This conversion table T generates a correction value corresponding to the angle difference. The angle difference here refers to the difference between the angle data acquired last time and the angle data acquired this time among the output data from the stick unit 20. The purpose of the correction value output from the conversion table T will be described later.

  The operation unit 14 includes a power switch for powering on / off the main unit 10 and a performance switch for instructing start / end of performance, and generates an event corresponding to the switch operation. Events generated by the operation unit 14 are captured by the CPU 11. The display unit 15 displays an operation state, a setting state, and the like of the main body unit 10 on the screen according to a display control signal supplied from the CPU 11.

  Under the control of the CPU 11, the communication unit 16 receives and demodulates output data (identification data, acceleration data, angle data, and azimuth data) individually transmitted from the stick units 20-1 and 20-2. Stored in the data area. The tone generator 17 is configured by a well-known waveform memory reading method, and reproduces waveform data of a musical tone (percussion instrument sound) designated by the user according to a note-on event supplied from the CPU 11. The sound system 18 converts the waveform data of the percussion instrument sound output from the sound source unit 17 into an analog signal format, and then performs unnecessary noise removal and level amplification before generating sound from the speaker.

(2) Configuration of Stick Unit 20 Next, the configuration of the stick units 20-1 and 20-2 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the stick units 20-1 and 20-2 include a sensor unit 20a, a CPU 20b, a ROM 20c, a RAM 20d, a communication unit 20e, and an operation unit 20f inside a stick as a housing.

  The sensor unit 20a is configured with, for example, a capacitance type, and includes an acceleration sensor that detects acceleration for each of three axes (roll axis, pitch axis, and yaw axis) and a piezoelectric gyro type, and detects angular velocity for each of the three axes. An angular velocity sensor, a Hall element, and a magnetic sensor that detects geomagnetism for each of the three axes, and outputs of each of these sensors (acceleration sensor, angular velocity sensor, and magnetic sensor) are A / D converted and acceleration for each of the three axes. An A / D converter that generates data, angular velocity data, and magnetic data and supplies the data to the CPU 20b.

  The CPU 20b stores acceleration data, angular velocity data, and magnetic data for each of the three axes supplied from the sensor unit 20a in the data area of the RAM 20d. The CPU 20b represents the three-dimensional angle of the stick unit 20 based on the acceleration data and angular velocity data for each of the three axes stored in the data area of the RAM 20d, that is, the angles representing the rotation angles of the roll axis, pitch axis, and yaw axis shown in FIG. Data is calculated and stored in the data area of the RAM 20d.

  The CPU 20b calculates azimuth data representing the azimuth angle of the roll axis of the stick unit 20 based on the magnetic data for each of the three axes stored in the data area of the RAM 20d, and stores it in the data area of the RAM 20d. Further, the CPU 20b reads acceleration data for each of the three axes, angle data, and azimuth data representing the azimuth angle of the roll axis from the data area of the RAM 20d at predetermined intervals, and from this, from any of the stick units 20-1 and 20-2. Output data (identification data, acceleration data, angle data, and azimuth data) is generated by adding identification data for distinguishing whether the data is output, and the generated output data is supplied to the communication unit 20e.

  The ROM 20c stores various programs and control data that are loaded into the CPU 20b. The various programs include a stick process (see FIG. 5) to be described later in addition to a program for calculating angle data and azimuth data. The RAM 20d includes a work area and a data area. Various register / flag data used for the processing of the CPU 20b are temporarily stored in the work area of the RAM 20d. In the data area of the RAM 20d, acceleration data, angular velocity data, and magnetic data for each of the three axes output from the sensor unit 20a are stored under the control of the CPU 20b, and from the acceleration data and the angular velocity data for each of the three axes. Stored is azimuth data representing the azimuth angle of the roll axis calculated from the calculated angle data for each of the three axes and the magnetic data for each of the three axes.

  The communication unit 20e modulates output data (identification data, acceleration data, angle data, and azimuth data) generated by the CPU 20b by a predetermined method and wirelessly transmits the data to the main unit 10 side. The operation unit 20f includes a power switch for turning on / off the power, a performance switch for instructing start / end of performance, and the like, and generates an event corresponding to the switch operation. An event generated by the operation unit 20f is captured by the CPU 20a.

B. Operation Next, the operation of the electronic percussion instrument 100 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. Hereinafter, as an operation of the electronic percussion instrument 100, an operation of a stick process executed by the CPU 20b on the stick unit 20 side and an operation of a main body process executed by the CPU 11 on the main body unit 10 side will be described.

(1) Operation of Stick Processing The operation of stick processing executed by the CPU 20b of the stick unit 20 will be described with reference to FIG. When the power of the stick unit 20 is turned on by the power switch operation, the CPU 20b proceeds to step SA1 of the stick process shown in FIG. 5 and waits until the performance switch is set to an on state indicating the start of performance. When the user sets the performance switch to the ON state, the determination result in step SA1 is “YES”, and the process proceeds to step SA2, where acceleration data obtained by A / D converting the acceleration sensor output of the sensor unit 20a is stored in the RAM 20d. Store in the data area.

  Subsequently, in step SA3, angular velocity data obtained by A / D converting the angular velocity sensor output of the sensor unit 20a is stored in the data area of the RAM 20d. Next, in step SA4, angular velocity data obtained by A / D converting the magnetic sensor output of the sensor unit 20a is stored in the data area of the RAM 20d. In step SA5, the three-dimensional angle of the stick unit 20 based on the acceleration data and angular velocity data stored in the data area of the RAM 20d, that is, the rotation angles of the roll axis, pitch axis, and yaw axis shown in FIG. Is calculated and stored in the data area of the RAM 20d.

  Next, in step SA6, azimuth data representing the azimuth angle of the roll axis of the stick unit 20 is calculated based on the magnetic data for each of the three axes stored in the data area of the RAM 20d, and stored in the data area of the RAM 20d. Next, in step SA7, acceleration data for each of the three axes, angle data, and azimuth data representing the azimuth angle of the roll axis are read from the data area of the RAM 20d, and are output from either of the stick units 20-1 and 20-2. Output data (identification data, acceleration data, angle data, and azimuth data) is generated by adding identification data for distinguishing whether the data is data.

  Subsequently, in step SA8, the output data generated in step SA7 is wirelessly transmitted from the communication unit 20e to the main body unit 10 side. Thereafter, steps SA1 to SA8 are repeated until the performance switch is set to an off state indicating the end of the performance. As a result, the stick units 20-1 and 20-2 generate and wirelessly transmit output data (identification data, acceleration data, angle data, and azimuth data) that changes according to the movement applied to the stick.

(2) Operation of Main Body Processing Next, an operation of main body processing executed by the CPU 11 of the main body unit 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. When the main unit 10 is powered on by the power switch operation, the CPU 11 proceeds to step SB1 of the main unit process shown in FIG. 6, and outputs data (identification data, (Acceleration data, angle data, and azimuth data) are received and demodulated and stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 13.

  Subsequently, in step SB2, the stick units 20-1, 20- held by the user with both hands based on the acceleration data generated by both stick units 20-1, 20-2 in the output data acquired in step SB1. In step 2, it is detected whether or not a performance operation such as hitting a drum is performed. When a swing performance operation such as hitting a drum is detected, the determination result in step SB2 is “YES”, and the flow proceeds to step SB3.

  In step SB3, note-on processing for instructing sound generation based on acceleration data among the output data acquired in step SB1 is executed. That is, in the note-on processing, whether the polarity of the acceleration data acquired last time and the polarity of the acceleration data acquired this time have changed from positive to negative, that is, whether the note-on operation is to turn the stick unit 20 down and turn upward. If a note-on operation is performed, a note-on event is generated and supplied to the sound source unit 17. As a result, the sound source unit 17 generates percussion instrument sounds such as drum sounds in response to the note-on event.

  Then, when the process proceeds to the next step SB4, it is determined whether or not the performance end is instructed by the performance switch operation. If the end of performance is not instructed, the determination result is “NO”, and the process returns to step SB1 described above. On the other hand, when the end of the performance is instructed by the performance switch operation, the determination result in the above step SB4 becomes “YES”, and this processing is finished.

  On the other hand, if a swinging performance action such as hitting the drum is not detected, the determination result in step SB2 is “NO”, and the flick process is executed via step SB5. In the flick process, as will be described later, when the difference absolute value between the angle data (pitch axis) acquired from the stick unit 20 last time and the angle data (pitch axis) acquired this time is greater than or equal to the threshold value, or the difference absolute value is less than the threshold value. Even if the direction in which the flick operation is performed is determined, the flicking flag is set to “1” to indicate that the flicking operation is being performed, while the difference absolute value is less than the threshold value and the flicking operation has been performed. When the direction is not fixed, the flicking flag is reset to zero to indicate that no flick operation is performed.

  Next, in step SB6, it is determined whether or not the flick operation is being performed, that is, whether or not the flicking flag is “1”. If the flick operation is being performed (the flicking flag is “1”), the determination result is “YES”, and the process proceeds to step SB8 described later. On the other hand, if the in-flick flag is “1”, that is, if the flick operation is not performed, the determination result here is “NO”, and the process proceeds to step SB7.

  Therefore, for example, if the stick unit 20-1 is flicked and the stick unit 20-2 is pointed, the determination result of step SB6 is “YES” for the stick unit 20-1, and the process proceeds to step SB8 described later. However, for the stick unit 20-2, the determination result in step SB6 is “NO”, and the position process is executed via step SB7. In the position processing, as will be described later, the pointing position A is calculated by converting the deflection width (angle) of the pointing operation into the length (distance) from the angle data a0 acquired last time and the angle data a1 acquired this time.

  In step SB8, an operation input corresponding to the combination of the pointing position A (the fluctuation width (angle) of the pointing operation) obtained in the position processing in step SB7 and the flick operation is generated. In the subsequent step SB9, The sequencer process is controlled according to the generated operation input.

  For example, as in the example shown in FIG. 9, in the state where the score is displayed on the display unit 15 by the sequencer process, the stick unit 20-1 is flicked from left to right, and the stick unit 20-2 is moved in a predetermined direction. Assume that a pointing operation is performed. Then, in response to an operation input determined by the combination of the flick operation and the pointing operation, the sequencer process displays a volume display screen for setting the volume for each performance part on the display unit 15.

  Further, for example, as in the example illustrated in FIG. 10, in the state where the score is displayed on the display unit 15 by the sequencer process, the stick unit 20-2 is flicked from left to right, and the stick unit 20-1 is predetermined. It is assumed that a pointing operation is performed in the direction. Then, in accordance with an operation input determined by the combination of the flick operation and the pointing operation, the score that has been paged by the sequencer process is displayed on the display unit 15. Then, when the sequencer process is controlled according to the operation input determined by the combination of the flick operation and the pointing operation, the process is returned to step SB1 described above.

(3) Operation of flick processing Before describing the operation of flick processing, the flick operation defined in the present embodiment will be described. As described above, in this embodiment, the operation of turning down the stick unit 20 and turning it back, that is, the movement of the yaw rotation is defined as a performance operation. Unlike this performance operation, the stick unit 20 is moved from right to left. Alternatively, an operation in which a pitch rotation that swings from left to right is caused to occur at a predetermined angle or more at a predetermined angular velocity, such as 80 degrees or more per second, is defined as a “flick operation”. In the flick processing described below, it is determined whether or not “flick operation is in progress” based on the pitch axis angle data acquired from the stick units 20-1 and 20-2.

  Next, the operation of the flick process will be described with reference to FIG. When this process is executed through step SB5 of the main body process (see FIG. 6) described above, the CPU 11 proceeds to step SB1 shown in FIG. In step SB1, an absolute difference between the angle data (pitch axis) acquired last time from the stick unit 20 and the angle data (pitch axis) acquired this time is calculated. Subsequently, in step SB2, it is determined whether or not the difference absolute value calculated in step SB1 is greater than or equal to a threshold value. If the absolute difference is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the determination result in step SB2 is “YES”, the process proceeds to step SB3, the moving flag is set to “1”, and in the subsequent step SB4, the flicking flag is set to “1”. To complete the process.

  On the other hand, if the difference absolute value calculated in step SB1 is less than the threshold value, the determination result in step SB2 is “NO”, the process proceeds to step SB5, and the moving flag is reset to zero. Next, in step SB6, the flicked direction can be calculated based on the azimuth data (roll axis azimuth angle) acquired from the stick unit 20 last time and the azimuth data (roll axis azimuth angle) acquired this time. It is determined whether it has been completed, that is, whether the direction of the flick operation (from left to right or from left to right) has been confirmed.

  If the flick operation direction (from left to right or from left to right) is confirmed, the determination result in step SB6 is “YES”, the process proceeds to step SB4, the flicking flag is set to “1”, and this process is performed. Finish. On the other hand, when the flick operation direction (from left to right or from left to right) is not fixed, that is, when the flick operation is not performed, the determination result of the above step SB6 becomes “NO” and the flicking flag is set. Zero reset to finish this process.

  As described above, in the flick process, the absolute value of the difference between the angle data (pitch axis) acquired last time from the stick unit 20 and the angle data (pitch axis) acquired this time is greater than or equal to the threshold value, or the difference absolute value is less than the threshold value. Even if the direction in which the flick operation is performed is determined, the flicking flag is set to “1” to indicate that the flicking operation is being performed. On the other hand, the absolute value of the difference is less than the threshold value and the flicking operation has been performed. When the direction is not fixed, the flicking flag is reset to zero to indicate that no flick operation is performed.

(4) Position Processing Operation Next, the position processing operation will be described with reference to FIG. When this process is executed via step SB7 (see FIG. 6) of the main body process described above, the CPU 11 proceeds to step SC1 shown in FIG. 8, and from the previously acquired angle data a0 to the currently acquired angle data a1. The corresponding correction value is read from the conversion table T (see FIG. 2). Subsequently, in step SC2, the read correction value is integrated (cumulative addition).

  Next, in step SC3, the differential value sign (a1-a0) obtained by subtracting the angle data a0 from the angle data a1 is multiplied by the integral value obtained in step SC2. In step SC4, the offset value obtained by multiplying the angle data a1 by a constant R is added to the integral value multiplied by the difference code, and the amplitude (angle) of the pointing operation indicating the predetermined direction is set to the length ( The pointing position A converted to distance) is calculated. Subsequently, in step SC6, if the generated pointing position A (the fluctuation width of the pointing operation) is within the range of −180 ° to 180 °, the value is left as it is, but exceeds the lower limit value of −180 °. If the upper limit value of 180 ° is exceeded, the process is terminated with the upper limit value being limited.

As described above, in the position processing, the pointing position A obtained by converting the deflection width (angle) of the pointing operation into the length (distance) from the angle data a0 acquired last time and the angle data a1 acquired this time according to the following equation (1). Is calculated.
A = Σ (f (| a1-a0 |) × sign (a1-a0) + a1 × R (1)
Note that Σf (| a1-a0 |) in the above equation (1) reads out from the conversion table T (see FIG. 2) the correction values corresponding to the angle data a0 acquired previously and the angle data a1 acquired this time. The integrated value, sign (a1-a0) is a difference code, and a1 × R is an offset value.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, output data (identification data, acceleration data, angle data, and azimuth data) that changes according to the operation (operation) given to the stick units 20-1 and 20-2 is generated. Wirelessly and acquired on the main body 10 side. In the main body unit 10, the operation in which the polarity of the acceleration data acquired last time and the polarity of the acceleration data acquired this time change from positive to negative in the acquired output data, that is, the note that turns down the stick unit 20 after swinging down. It is determined whether or not the operation is on. If the operation is a note-on operation, a note-on event is generated and supplied to the sound source unit 17, and a percussion instrument sound such as a drum sound is generated according to the note-on event.

  On the other hand, when the stick unit 20-1 is flicked and the stick unit 20-2 is pointed as an operation different from the performance operation, the pointing position (the swing width (angle) of the pointing operation) is combined with the flick operation. Since the corresponding operation input is generated and the sequencer process is controlled according to the operation input, it is possible to generate an input to another application without disturbing the performance operation.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the score display is switched to the volume display in response to the flick operation or the score displayed in response to the flick operation is paged has been described. 11, the music tracks in the score displayed on the display unit 15 are aligned in accordance with an operation input for flicking both the stick units 20-1 and 20-2 from left to right. It is possible to instruct the sequencer processing as described above. Further, as in the modification shown in FIG. 12, according to the operation input generated by the flick operation of the stick unit 20-1 in the score displayed on the display unit 15. A mode is also possible in which the position is designated by the stick unit 20-2 and the sequencer process is instructed to start the automatic performance from the place.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, an operation input for generating a volume designation by rotating the stick unit 20-1 (around the roll axis) and setting a volume by rotating the stick unit 20-2 (around the roll axis) is generated. 14, after a specific music track is selected and moved by the pointing operation of both stick parts 20-1 and 20-2, the flick operation of both stick parts 20-1 and 20-2 is performed. It is also possible to generate an operation input for releasing the music track moved in step.
