Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is applicable to various physical movements of humans, such as walking, running, jumping, arm swinging, etc., as well as dancing, volleyball, dance, etc. The present invention relates to a musical tone generating device that generates musical tones in a controlled manner, such as a musical scale, depending on various displacement states.

[Prior Art] In conventionally well-known musical tone generators, a person selects one of a plurality of strings, such as a guitar or a violin, and moves the selected string with a finger to one of a plurality of frets. At the same time, the string is mechanically vibrated by pressing the selected string with a finger or rubbing a bow against the selected string, thereby controlling the generation of a musical tone with a pitch corresponding to the string and fret. . Other well-known musical tone generators, such as pianos and electronic organs, mechanically or electrically detect keys or key switches pressed by a human finger, and vibrate strings based on the detection results. The system controls the generation of musical tones at a pitch corresponding to the pressed key or key switch by electronically synthesizing the musical tones.

Furthermore, as other conventional techniques, there is
As shown in Publication No. 24822, the front end of the sole,
Switches are disposed on the rear end, left side, and right side, and a musical sound generator that generates musical sounds of pitches corresponding to the respective switches is built into the shoe, so that a person can cover the shoe. There is also a device in which one of the switches is pressed against the ground or floor by moving one's foot, and by closing the pressed switch, the generation of a musical tone of a pitch corresponding to the switch is controlled.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional device described above, the pitch of a musical tone, which is one of the musical tone generation modes (musical tone elements), is controlled by human actions such as pushing, plucking, and rubbing. However, it is not possible to generate musical sounds corresponding to various human athletic actions such as walking, running, jumping, arm swinging, dancing, ballet, dancing, etc. In other words, in the case of guitars, violins, etc., the instruments themselves are configured to be portable, so it is possible to walk, run, etc. while playing the instrument, but these walking, running, etc. have nothing to do with playing the instrument. To control the musical tone, press the button above.
This is achieved through actions such as plucking, rubbing, etc. that are solely for playing musical instruments. In addition, pianos, electronic organs, etc. also generate musical sounds in response to various human athletic actions such as walking, running, jumping, arm swinging, dancing, ballet, dance, etc. It's completely unrelated.

Furthermore, the device disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 53-24822 merely controls the generation of musical sounds by pressing the soles of the feet against the ground or floor instead of the hands or fingers of the prior art. , the difference is that the hands or fingers are replaced by feet, but it is the same as the conventional case in that musical sounds are generated by the act of pressing. As a result, even in this prior art, the act of pressing the switch for specifying the pitch of a musical tone on the ground or floor is
Gymnastics such as running, jumping, arm swinging, dancing,
It is difficult to directly relate to various human athletic actions such as volleyball, dance, etc., and it is not possible to freely control musical sound generation according to the athletic actions.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to freely adapt to various human exercise behaviors such as walking, running, jumping, arm swinging, dancing, volleyball, dance, etc. By controlling the generation of musical tones, the present invention provides a completely new musical sound generation device that directly connects the human movement behavior with music and allows the user to enjoy both at the same time.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems and achieve the object of the present invention, the structural feature of the present invention is that the first and second a detection means for detecting a physical quantity representing a mutual relationship between an object and at least one of the first or second objects due to spatial displacement; and a musical tone according to the physical quantity detected by the detection means. A musical tone generating device is constituted by a musical tone signal generating means for generating a musical tone signal whose elements are controlled.

[Operation of the invention] In the present invention configured as described above, a person holds both the first and second objects or either one of the objects in his hand or attaches them to a part of his body. When you carry one of the objects and move a part of your body by doing gymnastics such as walking, running, jumping, or swinging your arms, or by dancing, volleyball, or dancing, the movement of that part of the body occurs. As a result, the first object and the second object move spatially relative to each other, and a spatial relative displacement occurs between the two objects. At this time, the detecting means detects a physical quantity representing the mutual relationship between the two objects accompanying the displacement, and the musical tone signal generating means generates a musical tone signal with a musical tone element, such as a pitch-controlled musical tone, according to the physical quantity detected by the detecting means. occurs. As a result, the musical sound signal generation means continuously outputs a musical sound signal in which the musical sound elements are controlled according to the spatial displacement of the body part, so that it is possible to perform physical exercises such as walking, running, jumping, arm swinging, etc. Oh, dance, volleyball,
Along with a movement such as a dance, a musical tone directly related to the movement is emitted.

[Effects of the Invention] As can be understood from the above description of the operation, according to the present invention, the physical quantity detected by the detection means and changing in accordance with the human movement is controlled by the type or quantity of the musical tone element to be controlled. If you assign it,
For example, if the above-mentioned physical quantity is assigned to the type of pitch, a person can perform gymnastics such as walking, running, jumping, arm swinging, dancing, volleyball, dance, etc., and then move a part of the body, such as the upper body, hands, arms, etc. When you move your legs, etc., music is played that matches the continuous movement of that part of your body, so if you are a stranger, you can watch the movement while you are doing it, or if you are the person yourself, you can watch it while you are performing the movement. You will be able to enjoy music.

[Example] Examples of the present invention will be described in detail below, but before that, an outline of the present invention common to each example will be explained using the drawings.

The present invention controls the generation of musical sounds in accordance with human exercise movements such as walking, running, jumping, arm swinging, dancing, volleyball, dance, etc. The displacement state of a part of the body associated with a movement is assigned in advance to musical information such as a musical scale,
A musical tone whose pitch is controlled is generated in accordance with the motor movement. In this case, if the movements A, B, and C in Figure 1 are assigned to the pitches "do,""mi," and "so," the human can raise the arm from the bottom to the top.
"Do" along with gymnastics, dance, volleyball, dance, etc.
Musical tones corresponding to the pitches of "mi" and "so" are pronounced.

First Example First, the reference points (in this case, the shoulder and elbow joints)
A case will be described in which a part of the body (in this case, the arm) is rotated around , and a musical tone is generated in accordance with the rotation. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, the human 10 holds a detector 20 for detecting a rotation angle in his hand and rotates his arm around his shoulder and elbow.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the detector 20 is composed of a spherical ring 21 that can be carried by a person 10, and a support base 22 extending toward the center is fixed on the inner peripheral surface of the ring 21. has been done. Support stand 22
The tip rotatably supports a rotating shaft 24 of a pendulum 23, so that the pendulum 23 can rotate in all angles, up and down, left and right, and front and rear, except for a part of the support base 22. A magnet 25 is attached to the tip of the pendulum 23.
is fixed to face the inner peripheral surface of the spherical ring 21. The spherical ring 21 includes a plurality of detection elements 26a, 26b, . . . that detect the rotational position of the magnet 25.
26n is fixed, and the same detection elements 26a, 2
6b...26n are constituted by, for example, Hall elements. With this configuration, the detection elements 26a, 2
Of the elements 6b...26n, the detection element at the position facing the magnet 25 is turned on, and since the pendulum 23 always hangs down in the direction of gravity, only the detection element located in the direction of gravity is turned on. For example, when the detector 20 is in the state shown in FIG. 3, the detection element 26a is turned on, and when the detector 20 rotates by a predetermined angle in the direction A in the figure, the detection element 26n is turned on, and the detector 26a is turned on. When the detection element 26b is rotated by a predetermined angle in the direction B in the figure, the detection element 26b is turned on. This results in
The rotational position of the detector 20 itself is detected.

As shown in FIG. 2, a musical tone generating device 30 is connected to the portable detector 20, and the generating device 30 generates a musical tone signal having a pitch corresponding to the detection signal from the detector 20. In this case, the pitch of the musical tone signal generated by the musical tone generating device 30 is determined corresponding to each detection element 26a, 26b...26n. The detecting element 26b detects the pitch "re", the detecting element 26c detects the pitch "mi", and the detecting element 26d detects the pitch "fa".
, the detection element 26e detects the pitch "G" and the detection element 2
6n corresponds to the pitch "A". As a result, when the detector 20 is in the state shown in FIG. 3 as described above, the musical tone generator 30 generates a musical tone signal of pitch "C", and the detector 20 changes from the state shown in FIG.
If the generator 3 is rotated by the predetermined angle in the direction
0, a musical tone signal of pitch "A" is generated, and if the detector 20 rotates by the predetermined angle in the direction B from the state shown in FIG. is generated. A speaker 31 is connected to this musical tone generating device 30, and the speaker 31 produces musical tones corresponding to the musical tone signal from the musical tone generating device 30.

In such a case, for example, the rotation of the arm shown in A to F in Figure 2 around the shoulder and elbow joints may be expressed as pitch "do", "re",
"Mi", "Hua", "G", and "A" are set respectively, and the detector 20 is set such that a musical tone signal of the pitch is generated by detecting the rotation angle of the detector 20 corresponding to the rotation of the arm. Try to hold 20 in your hand. In this state, when the human 10 rotates the arm around the shoulder and elbow joints, the rotation is detected by the detector 20 and a detection signal corresponding to the rotation is output. This detection signal is supplied to a musical tone generator 30, which generates the detection signal, that is, a musical tone signal having a pitch corresponding to the rotation of the arm, and the speaker 31 outputs a musical tone corresponding to the musical tone signal. pronounced. To explain this using an example, if the human 10 moves his arm in the order of A, E, F, E in FIG.
Pitches corresponding to "C", "G", "A",
A series of tones consisting of "G" is obtained.

In this way, according to the first embodiment, gymnastics,
If the arm is appropriately rotated around the shoulder and elbow joints during a movement such as dancing, ballet, dance, etc., a musical tone corresponding to the movement will be emitted from the speaker 31, making it possible for others to perform the movement. You will be able to enjoy music while watching or yourself.

First modification of the first embodiment In the first embodiment described above, the detection elements 26a,
Although the detection elements 26b...26n are arranged one-dimensionally, as shown in FIG. 4, the detection elements 26a, 26b..., etc. may be arranged multidimensionally. According to this, more music information, such as pitch information, for controlling the musical tones generated by the musical tone generating device 30 can be extracted from the detector 20.

Second modification of the first embodiment In the detector 20 of the first embodiment, the pendulum 2
3 is used to detect the rotation angle, however, the rotation angle may also be detected using a liquid and a float floating in the same liquid.

FIG. 5 shows a detector 40 according to the second modification, in which a portable spherical container 41 is filled with a liquid 42, and the liquid 42 includes a float 43.
is floating. A weight 44 is fixed to the bottom of this float 43, and a magnet 4 is attached to the top of the float 43.
5 is fixed. Further, the container 41 is provided with detection elements 46 at a plurality of predetermined locations, which are turned on when the magnet 45 comes to the opposing position, as in the first embodiment.
a, 46b...46h are fixed. With this configuration, when the detector 40 is rotated, the float 43
moves relative to the container 41 in a direction opposite to gravity, and with this movement, the detection elements 46a, 46b...
Among 46h, the detection element at the position facing the magnet 45, that is, the detection element located in the upper direction is turned on. For example, if the detector 40 is in the state shown in FIG.
0 rotates by a predetermined angle in the direction A in the figure, the detection element 46b turns on, and when the detector 40 rotates by a predetermined angle in the direction B in the figure, the detection element 46b turns on.
h is turned on. Thereby, the rotational position of the detector 40 itself is detected.

As can be understood from this explanation, this second
By holding the detector 40 according to the modified example in the hand and connecting the detector 40 to the musical sound generating device 30 of the first embodiment, the arm can be moved to the shoulder and the shoulder during exercise movements such as gymnastics, dancing, ballet, dance, etc. Even if the elbow joint is rotated appropriately, similar to the first embodiment, the speaker 31 will emit a musical tone corresponding to the exercise action, and the user will be able to hear the exercise action while another person is watching it or the person himself or herself is performing the exercise action. You will be able to enjoy music while listening to music.

Other Application Examples of the First Embodiment In the first embodiment and its first and second variations, the human 10 holds the detectors 20 and 40
However, any part of the human body 10 other than the hand whose angle with respect to the reference point changes due to the movement The present invention can be carried out even if the detectors 20, 40 are attached to the parts.

Second Embodiment Next, a part of the body (in this case, the left hand or the right hand) is spatially displaced, and the generation of musical tones is controlled according to the distance of the body part from the reference point due to the displacement. Let me explain the case. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the human 10 moves his arms while holding portable first and second objects 50A and 50B that detect the distance between his left and right hands. In such a method, it is sufficient to use only one object as a detector, and there is no need to use the other object as a detector. Therefore, in this embodiment, for convenience, the first object 50A will be described as a distance detector. .

As shown in FIG. 7, the first object 50A as a distance detector is constituted by a detector outer frame 51 formed in a cylindrical shape, and the inner bottom surface of the outer frame 51 is equipped with elastic rubber or a spring. A support base 53 is formed to fix one end of the constructed elastic string 52. The elastic string 52 extends upward within the detector outer frame 51 and is connected to a pulley 55 rotatably supported by a bracket 54 fixed to the upper inner wall of the outer frame 51.
and is further extended to the outside through a hole 51a provided in the upper side wall of the outer frame 51, and the other end is connected to the second object 5.
It is set to be fixed at 0B. A magnet 56 is fixed to this elastic string 52 inside the detector outer frame 51, and by pulling or loosening the string 52, the magnet 56 moves up and down. Further, on the inner wall of the detector outer frame 51, a plurality of detection elements 57a, 57b...57e are arranged so as to face the magnet 56 at a position where the magnet 56 moves up and down.
For example, Hall elements are arranged and fixed in a line in the vertical direction.

With this configuration, when the first object 50A is in the state shown in FIG. 7, the detection element 57c is turned on,
When a force is applied to the elastic string 52 in the direction of arrow A in the figure and the string 52 stretches by a predetermined length, the magnet 56 moves upward, turning on the detection element 57d, and the elastic string 52 is moved in the direction of arrow B in the figure. Loosen the same string 52
When is contracted by a predetermined length, the magnet 56 moves downward and the detection element 57b is turned on. As a result, the detector 50A allows both detectors 50A, 50
The distance between B is detected.

A musical tone generator 30 and a speaker 31 similar to those in the first embodiment are connected to this portable detector 50A, and the generator 30 generates a musical tone signal with a pitch corresponding to the detection signal from the detector 50A. do. Also in this case, the pitch of the musical tone signal generated by the musical tone generating device 30 is determined by each detection element 57a, 57b...57e.
It has been established in accordance with

In such a case, as mentioned above, the human 10
When you hold the second objects 50A and 50B in your hands and move your arms through exercise movements such as gymnastics, dance, ballet, dance, etc., the distance between the two objects 50A and 50B changes and the elastic string 52 stretches or contracts. do.
The elastic string 52 expands and contracts each detection element 5.
7a, 57b, . speaker 31
pronounced from Now, if the distance between the hands of the human 10 accompanying the motor movement is appropriately assigned to the pitch of the musical sound signal generated by the musical sound generating device 30, the manner in which the musical sound is generated can be controlled according to the motor movement. Therefore, even in the second embodiment, if the distance between the hands is changed by moving the arms during an exercise action such as gymnastics, dance, ballet, dance, etc., the speaker 31 will emit a musical tone corresponding to the exercise action. The user can enjoy the music while others or the user himself or herself are watching the movement.

First modification of the second embodiment Next, a part of the body (in this case, the left hand or the right hand) is spatially displaced, and a musical tone is generated according to the displacement speed of the body part accompanying the displacement. The case of control will be explained. In this case, the human 10 is
In place of the first and second objects 50A and 50B of the embodiment, the eighth A is used as a speed detection device for detecting the speed of the right hand relative to the left hand or the speed of the left hand relative to the right hand.
The first and second objects 6 as shown in Figures and Figure 8B.
Hold 0A and 60B in both hands and move your arms.

The speed detection device composed of the first and second objects 60A and 60B utilizes the Doppler effect, and the first object 60A functions as a transmitting device and the second object 60B functions as a receiving device. As shown in FIG. 8A, the first object 60A is a power source 62 housed in a portable cylindrical outer frame 61a.
a, a transmitter 63a, and a drive circuit 64a. The oscillator 63a outputs an electric signal of a predetermined frequency, and a radio wave transmitting antenna 65a is connected to the oscillator 63a.
converts the electrical signal into radio waves and transmits them. The drive circuit 64a is connected to the transmitter 63a and drives the electro-acoustic converter 66a based on the electrical signal from the transmitter 63a. Electric-acoustic converter 6
6a is fixed to the upper part of the outer frame 61a, and includes an acoustic radiator 67a formed in the outer frame 61a by converting the electric signal into an acoustic signal (ultrasonic wave).
The ultrasonic wave as the acoustic signal is outputted via.

As shown in FIG. 8B, the second object 60B has a power source 62b housed in a portable cylindrical outer frame 61b, and an ultrasonic-electrical signal converter fixed to the upper part of the outer frame 61b. It has a container 63b. The ultrasonic-electrical signal converter 63b is connected to the outer frame 61b.
The ultrasonic wave inputted through the ultrasonic receiving cavity 64b formed in the ultrasonic wave receiving cavity 64b is converted into an electric signal. This ultrasound-
The electrical signal converter 63b is connected to an amplifier 65b housed within the outer frame 61b.
b amplifies the electrical signal from the ultrasonic-electrical signal converter 63b and supplies it to a Doppler detector 66b housed within the same outer frame 61b. A radio wave receiving antenna 67b is connected to this Doppler detector 66b.
The relative velocity between the first and second objects 60A and 60B, that is, the Doppler effect, is detected based on the electric signal corresponding to the radio wave received at point b and the electric signal corresponding to the ultrasonic wave from the amplifier 65b.

In such a case, similarly to the second embodiment above, the human 1
When 0 holds the first and second objects 60A and 60B in his hands and moves his arms through exercise movements such as gymnastics, dance, volleyball, dance, etc., both objects 60A and 60B
The relative speed between them changes. In this case, the first object 6
Radio waves are transmitted from the 0A transmitting antenna 65a, and at the same time ultrasonic waves are emitted from the electro-acoustic converter 66a, and these radio waves and ultrasonic waves are transmitted to the second
Receiving antenna 67b and ultrasonic wave of object 60B
The signals are received by the electrical signal converter 63b, converted into electrical signals, and supplied to the Doppler detectors 66b, respectively. The frequency of the ultrasonic waves transmitted from the first object 60A and received by the second object 60B changes due to the Doppler effect corresponding to the movement of the arm; Since the frequency of radio waves received at 60B hardly changes, the Doppler detector 66b
is the Doppler effect, that is, the first and second objects 60A, 6 with reference to the electric signal corresponding to the radio wave.
Detect the relative speed between 0B. Further, as in the second embodiment, this detection signal is supplied to the musical tone generator 30 (see FIG. 6) to control the generation of musical tone signals, so that the Doppler effect, that is, the relative velocity The corresponding musical tone is produced. Now, if the relative velocity between both hands accompanying the movement of the human being 10 is appropriately assigned to the pitch of the musical sound signal generated by the musical sound generating device 30, the manner in which the musical sound is generated can be changed according to the movement. Since this is controlled, the same effects as in the second embodiment can be achieved in the first modification as well.

Second modification of the second embodiment Next, a part of the body (left hand or right hand in this case) is spatially displaced, and the part of the body accompanying the displacement and the other part (left hand or right hand in this case) A case will be explained in which the generation of musical tones is controlled according to the vertical distance from the
In this case, the human 10 is in the first embodiment of the second embodiment.

A detection element 7 consisting of a Hall element is arranged so as to face the
7a, 77b...77e are arranged and fixed in a line on the inner wall of the outer frame 71b. With this configuration, if the first and second objects 70A and 70B are at the same height, the detection element 77c is turned on, and the first object 70A and 70B are at the same height.
0A is lifted and the hydraulic pressure applied inside the bellows 72b increases, causing the other end of the bellows 72b to move to A in the figure.
When it is displaced by a predetermined amount in the direction, the detection element 77d turns on, and the first object 70A is lowered and the hydraulic pressure applied to the bellows 72b decreases, causing the other end of the bellows 72b to move in the B direction in the figure by a predetermined amount. Upon displacement, the detection element 77b is turned on. As a result, the second object 70B causes both objects 70A, 7

...77e, and the detection signal representing the detection result is supplied to the musical tone generating device 30 (see FIG. 6) to control the generation of musical tone signals, as in the second embodiment, so that the detection signal representing the detection result is transmitted from the speaker 31. A musical tone is produced according to the vertical distance, that is, the height difference. Now, if the difference in height between the left hand and the right hand due to the movement of the human being 10 is appropriately assigned to the pitch of the musical tone signal generated by the musical tone generating device 30, then
Since the manner in which musical tones are generated is controlled according to the exercise motion, also in this second modification, the second
