Description

The equipment of control reproducing music and the equipment of reproducing music
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of equipment that is used to control reproducing music, this equipment be adapted at the user carry out such as walk and jog repeat to take exercise the time situation of listening to the music.The equipment that the invention still further relates to the equipment that is used for reproducing music and use the equipment of control reproducing music.
Background technology
There is the legacy equipment that is used for reproducing music, this apparatus senses step pitch (rhythm of walking), then, the rhythm of walking according to sensing is adjusted music rhythm, so that its motion and the perfect harmony sensation (2003-85888 Japanese Patent Application Publication) of this music to be provided to the user who walks while listening to the music.Also there is another kind of legacy equipment, if the difference between employed music-tempo (music rhythm) and walking speed (rhythm of walking) surpasses particular value, then this equipment is adjusted the rhythm of music, this difference is reduced special ratios (2003-1377749 Japanese Patent Application Publication).
Above-described legacy equipment only reproduces in advance to adjust the music of rhythm appointment.If reproduce this music with the rhythm significantly different with original tempo, then this legacy equipment force users is listened the unnatural music of this musical performance person's of substantial deviation intention.Because this legacy equipment is only adjusted music rhythm, and does not change user's mood, and bored with listening to this music of user, so reduced the hope that he continues to take exercise.If this music data is registered as Wave data, and if adjust music rhythm and cause pitch (tone pitch) to change, then cause the user that this music is felt under the weather, handle unless this music data is carried out distinctive signal.Be under the situation such as the such performance data of MIDI (musical instrument digital interface) data with this musical recording, do not cause pitch to change although adjust music rhythm, the music full weight (musicalrichness) that is registered as the music data of such performance data is not so good as to be registered as the full weight of the music data of Wave data.
Also there is the another kind of equipment (conventional art that the 2001-299980 Japanese Patent Application Publication is described) that is called as the device of taking the lead in race.This equipment allows the user to specify the leg speed (running step pitch) of its mxm. of allowing pulse and minimum and requirement thereof, so that when its pulse surpasses the mxm. of appointment, reduce the output rhythm of the electronics tone of frequency changer circuit output, and when its pulse is lower than minimum, improve the output rhythm of electronics tone.
In addition, also exist a kind of tradition to temper support equipment, it uses music data, and does not use the electronics tone, and it is used for the sensor of sense movement rhythm (running rhythm), adjusts rhythm (music rhythm) (please refer to the 2001-299980 Japanese Patent Application Publication).More particularly, value according to user's appointment, this is tempered support equipment and produces target pulse rate function, with by user's pulse and the difference between the target pulse being multiply by the correcting value that original tempo and coefficient A obtain and will tempering rhythm and the multiply each other value addition of acquisition of coefficient D, try to achieve the rhythm of adjustment.Therefore, this exercise support equipment is controlled user's pulse.Suppose coefficient A=0, then adjust this music rhythm, to meet running rhythm.
Also there is a kind of legacy equipment that is used for reproducing music, by measuring user's heart rate, thereby adjust music-tempo (music rhythm) when surpassing particular value at the heart rate of measuring and according to the difference between the desirable heart rate of user profile acquisition, this equipment can make user's heart rate reach desirable heart rate (please refer to the 2003-177750 Japanese Patent Application Publication).Yet in above-mentioned these conventional arts, these equipment still only reproduce the music data of previous appointment with the rhythm of adjusting.
In addition, also have a kind of automatic playing equipment, the pulse of its sensing user with the pulse according to sensing, calculates and tempers load number percent.Exercise load number percent according to 70% to 100%, this automatic playing equipment is specified rhythm FACTOR P=1.0 to 0.7, one of automatic playing data file that the order of selecting original tempo to press the rhythm FACTOR P reduces, and corresponding to the rhythm FACTOR P, store this automatic playing data file, then, reproduce the automatic playing data of selecting (please refer to second embodiment of H10-63265 Japanese Patent Application Publication).Along with the rising of tempering rate of load condensate, this automatic playing choice of equipment has the automatic playing data of reproducing rhythm (music rhythm) more slowly, and therefore, the user can also reduce its speed of jogging according to the music rhythm that reduces.In addition, each when changing the rhythm FACTOR P, before the beginning from the song of new selection began this song, this automatic playing equipment stopped the song of current reproduction.In addition, in order to switch the song of new selection, this automatic playing equipment also can smoothly be changed the song and the new song of selecting of (cross-fade) current reproduction, or before beginning to reproduce the song of new selection, finish the song of playing current reproduction in more natural mode, finish up to this song.
Therefore, according to tempering rate of load condensate, this automatic playing equipment switches the automatic playing data, then, reproduces each song with corresponding original tempo.Yet from user's viewpoint, the user only differentiates current exercise rate of load condensate and music rhythm, but in order to reach the best rate of load condensate of taking exercise, this equipment does not influence its step pitch.More particularly, needn't be consistent owing to reproduce rhythm with user's the rhythm of walking, so the limit listens the exercise of this music limit that the user is felt under the weather.In addition, if user's exercise rate of load condensate does not change, then the rhythm FACTOR P does not change yet, and causes stopping this automatic playing when the song of the current reproduction of end of reproduction.
Also there is a kind of distributing equipment (please refer to the 2003-108154 Japanese Patent Application Publication).When user's walking specific range, this distributing equipment will begin elapsed time TC, exercise intensity m, heart rate S from taking exercise, the rhythm T that walks sends to the distribution website, and distribution plant point search rhythm (music rhythm) provides the song data of the most suitable exercise load to the user, distribute the song data that finds, so that the tone generator of terminal device reproduces this song data.More particularly, distribute by this way, so that from heart rate history lists TBL1, read load heart rate F corresponding to exercise intensity m, multiply by rhythm rising/reduction coefficient C with the rhythm T that will walk corresponding to the poor Δ d between load heart rate F and user's the heart rate S, thereby try to achieve load rhythm TMP, so that from database, obtain (retrieve) rhythm and the approaching consistent song data of load rhythm TMP.
Therefore, conventional art has been realized reproducing rhythm and the user is provided the best rhythm of walking of load of taking exercise near consistent song data.Yet for the download song data, this conventional art requires visit to distribute website, therefore, switches the processing delay that the song data requirement prolongs.In addition, the interval between interval between the measurement user heart rate and the switching music data all is the required time of user's walking specific range.Therefore, for changes in heart rate being made rapid response, this specific range must be lacked.Yet if in certain time period, heart rate does not change, and in short interlude section, repeats to reproduce from the outset identical song.In addition, the interval between the switching may change according to user's the rhythm of walking.In addition, this conventional art need be used to measure the sensor of rhythm T on foot.In addition, this conventional art does not consider how storing the song data file distributes station for acquiring rhythm and load rhythm TMP near consistent song data file with how to pass through.
Also have a kind of user of prompting to make the conventional art (please refer to the 2005-87731 Japanese Patent Application Publication) of the exercise that user's heart rate quickens naturally.More particularly, at user's exercise period, when its moment, heart rate was lower than the minimal heart rate of target exercise scope, this conventional art provides its rhythm than the fast song of current moment heart rate (beat from the minimal heart rate of target exercise scope in the scope of middle heart rate) to this user, so that this user knows that its heart rate is low, thereby remind the user as one man to perform physical exercise with its rhythm song faster than current heart rate.Yet the rhythm of song (beat) only tells this user that its heart rate is lower than the minimal heart rate of target exercise scope moment, and does not consider that on foot rhythm etc. adjusts.Therefore, the beat of this song and user's the rhythm of walking is inconsistent.
Summary of the invention
The present invention makes in order to address the above problem, and its objective is provides a kind of be used to the control equipment of reproducing music, the program that is used for the equipment of reproducing music and is used to control reproducing music, its suitable user to repeat the situation of taking exercise while listening to the music.In addition, another object of the present invention provides a kind of be used to the control equipment of reproducing music, the program that is used for the equipment of reproducing music and is used to control reproducing music, this equipment and program reproducing music are so that the user repeats to take exercise with its target exercise intensity or its target heart.

Embodiment
(A) among Fig. 1 and (B) be that the block scheme of functional configuration of equipment that the equipment and comprising that is used for reproducing music according to the embodiment of the invention is used to control the equipment of reproducing music is shown.The user utilizes this equipment limit that is used for reproducing music to do to repeat to take exercise the limit and listens to the music.After this, the situation of utilizing the user to do to jog, take exercise by running etc. describes as the object lesson that repeats to take exercise.As the function of selecting music, the equipment that is used for reproducing music provides two kinds of patterns to the user, that is, free (freely using) pattern and auxiliary (auxiliary exercise) pattern allow the user to utilize its selection operation freedom of entry pattern or auxiliary mode.(A) among Fig. 1 is the theory diagram that is in the music reproduction device under the free schema, and (B) among Fig. 1 is the theory diagram that is in the music reproduction device under the auxiliary mode.Under free schema, the user freely walks while listening to the music or runs (below be referred to as the rhythm of walking) with its wish to walk rhythm or running rhythm, and its rhythm of walking of nonintervention.
In (A) in Fig. 1, music data obtains part 1 from being used for storing the database of a large amount of music data files, or, write data storage part 2 with the music data that will obtain from being stored in such as obtaining the music data file that the user utilizes the requirement of its selection operation selection in the music data file the storage medium of CD (compact disk).When obtaining,, then also to obtain this cadence information if the music data file that obtains contains the data of original music rhythm.If no, then this music data is analyzed, to extract the original tempo of this music.Then, music data obtains part 1 this music data and original music rhythm is write this data storage part 2.Therefore, data storage part 2 a plurality of music data files of storage and corresponding original music rhythm thereof.Reproduce each music data file with each original music rhythm.
Above-mentioned music data is the Wave data type preferably, yet this music data can be the such performance data type such as the MIDI data, wherein stores music data and represents the duration of a sound (tone length) with certain sound as the such performance data of pitch.In this case, the music data of such performance data type must contain the data relevant for original music rhythm, makes to reproduce this music data with original music rhythm.As described below, the music data of being stored mainly is the Wave data type, yet the part music data can be the such performance data type.
The rhythm of walking that rhythm sensing part 3 sensing user of walking are walked or run.More particularly, walk step number in the rhythm sensing part 3 sensing time per unit sections (for example, 1 minute).The sensing step is not distinguished right crus of diaphragm and left foot.In some cases, the rhythm sensing part 3 of walking is ignored temporary transient great fluctuation process value, the moving average of getting a plurality of steps, or carry out the processing of having made up these two processing, and then, the rhythm of walking that output obtains.
Music rhythm specified portions 4 is specified the rhythm music rhythm of walking corresponding to rhythm sensing part 3 sensings of walking.More particularly, drop on particular range that the music rhythm value to the music data of the music data reproducing part 6 current reproductions that describe below is provided with when outer in the rhythm value of walking of rhythm sensing part 3 sensings of walking, music rhythm specified portions 4 is specified the music rhythm with the value that the rhythm value is consistent on foot of sensing.Reproducing control section 5 selects to have the music data file of the music rhythm of music rhythm specified portions 4 appointments from being stored in a plurality of music data files in the data storage part 2, then, makes this music data reproducing part 6 reproduce the music data file of selecting.Music data reproducing part 6 is reproduced the music data file of being selected by reproducing control section 5.
The above-mentioned particular range of this music rhythm setting is defined as expanding respectively to forward and negative sense from the music rhythm value of the music data file of current reproduction the scope of specified quantitative.Alternatively, above-mentioned particular range can be defined as the scope of expanding the amount of the music rhythm value that equals special ratios from the music data file of current reproduction to forward and negative sense respectively.When will walk rhythm value and music rhythm value compare, can utilize the music rhythm value of music rhythm specified portions 4 appointments.Because the music rhythm that the user listens is the music rhythm value of the music data of current reproduction, so this music rhythm value needn't be consistent with the music rhythm value of appointment.Therefore, preferably will the walk music rhythm value of music data file of rhythm value and current reproduction compares.
As mentioned above, selection has the music data file of the music rhythm of music rhythm specified portions 4 appointments a plurality of music data files of reproducing control section 5 in being stored in this data storage part 2, then, make music data reproducing part 6 reproduce the music data file of selecting.Yet data storage part 2 is not always stored the music rhythm value music data file identical with the music rhythm of appointment.On the contrary, in some cases, the data storage part 2 storage music rhythm values a large amount of music data files identical with the music rhythm of appointment.
Therefore, if the one or more music rhythms of data storage part 2 storage fall into the music data file in the particular range of the music rhythm value expansion of appointment, then reproducing control section 5 can be selected music data file (initial selected) from these one or more music data files.When carrying out this selection, if data storage part 2 storage music rhythms fall into a plurality of music data files in the particular range of the music rhythm value setting of music rhythm specified portions 4 appointments, then reproducing control section 5 can be selected music data file at random from a plurality of music data files.If only exist a music rhythm to fall into the interior music data file of this particular range, then select this music data file, but can consider to select at random this music data file.
If specify same music rhythm value after the music rhythm specified portions 4 again, then reproducing control section 5 has been selected the music data file outside the music data file of selection at random at random.If selected music rhythm to fall into all interior music data files of this particular range, the music data file of selecting when then reproducing control section 5 is chosen in initial selection then, is selected in the same way.Therefore, in order to select by this way, data storage part 2 keeps selecting historical corresponding to the music data file of the music rhythm value of appointment.
Alternatively, if a plurality of music rhythms of data storage part 2 storage fall into the music data file in the particular range of the music rhythm value expansion of music rhythm specified portions 4 appointments, then music rhythm is given the higher priority of reproducing control section 5 selections near the music data file (the music rhythm situation identical with the music rhythm value of appointment that comprises this music data file) of the music rhythm value of appointment.If only there is the music rhythm of a music data file to fall in this particular range, select this music data file, yet, in this case, also can consider to select to have music data file near music rhythm.
If specify same music rhythm value after the music rhythm specified portions 4 again, then 5 pairs of music rhythm values of reproducing control section are given higher priority near the music data file of the music rhythm value of appointment, and do not comprise the music data file of having selected.If selected music rhythm to fall into all interior music data files of particular range, the music data file of having selected when then reproducing control section 5 is chosen in initial selection is selected then in the same way.If there are a plurality of music data files with same music rhythm value, then reproducing control section 5 can with the mode identical with above-mentioned selection mode at random select they one of.
In addition, in order to switch the music data file that will reproduce, above-mentioned reproducing control section 5 can be stored the selection history (not pointing out the selection history of the music rhythm value of appointment) of music data file, if fall into music data file in the particular range of the music rhythm value of music rhythm specified portions 4 appointments expansion so that store one or more music rhythms, then give higher priority to the music data file of selecting least number of times, from these one or more music data files, to select according to the selection history of this music data file.Therefore, even when specifying same music rhythm or mutual close music rhythm value continuously, or when after a period of time, specifying same music rhythm or mutually close music rhythm value once more, above-mentioned the whole bag of tricks all makes reproducing control section 5 select different music data files when each the selection, thereby this user is listened to the music, and do not feel bored.
If data storage part 2 is not stored music rhythm and is fallen into Wave data type music data file in the particular range that begins to expand from the music rhythm value of appointment, then reproducing control section 5 is selected the music data file of such performance data type, this is done explanation below with reference to Fig. 2 A-2G.The music data file of the such performance data type of selecting is reproduced in 6 beginnings of music data reproducing part with the music rhythm of appointment.As the music data file of such performance data type, can store the uncertain music data file of its original music rhythm.In that storage is a plurality of when having different original music rhythm music data files as the music data of such performance data type, can with the music rhythm of appointment select and reproducing music rhythm near the music data file of the music rhythm of appointment.
When the music data shown in (A) in utilizing Fig. 1 obtains part 1 obtain music data file from database etc., this music data obtains part 1 and obtains this song music data from start to end, then, will put in order first song is stored in the data storage part 2.In this case, reproduce required each the song difference of time of song.Yet, can determine to begin to reproduce the special time period of song from this song.Alternatively, can determine to finish back several specific reproduction time periods from song.In addition, utilizing music data to obtain part 1 when database etc. obtains music data file, the user can be only with the song portions that requires by operation, for example the prelude part described later of the center section of song or do not comprise and the part of ending are stored in the data storage part 2.
Fig. 2 A to Fig. 2 G is the key diagram that the data file example in the data storage part shown in (A) that is stored among Fig. 12 is shown.For example, the music data of Wave data type and such performance data type is stored as the file that corresponds respectively to song.As the music data file of Wave data type, can use the file of WAV type (non-compressed waveform data type).In addition, as long as music data reproducing part 6 can reproduce these files, Wave data file that also can the various data compression methods compressions of applications exploiting, for example, MP3 (the MPEG-1 audio layer-III).As the music data file of such performance data type, can be applied to SMF (standard MIDI file) form to record MIDI message and event timing data.The music data of such performance data type can be employed similarly with the music data of Wave data type.Yet, usually, in this embodiment, as mentioned above, when not storing the music rhythm value, use the music data of such performance data type corresponding to the music data of the Wave data type of the music rhythm of appointment.In addition, following described with reference to figure 6 and Fig. 9 A, 9B, the temporary transient music data as using when switching the music data that will reproduce in some cases, can use the short time music data of such performance data type.
Fig. 2 A illustrates the key diagram that is stored in the data structure in the storer.The a plurality of music data files of data storage part 2 storages utilize this music data file of music organization data organization that is stored in the same data storage part 2.In the figure, the file of the file of Wave data type and such performance data type has the memory block of oneself respectively, yet, also can be together with these two kinds of dissimilar file storage.Fig. 2 B to 2E illustrates the key diagram that is stored in the example music data file in the data storage part 2 according to the time span of each music data file.In music data file, for example, head (header) district is positioned at before the music data district, yet Fig. 2 B to 2E schematically shows this music data district.
Usually, music data file has prelude part and ending.Prelude partly is the overture part of playing before theme.Yet in this manual, the prelude part only refers to the beginning part of song.In some cases, because synthetic technology, the song impression of prelude part is different with the song impression of back each several part, and the song impression of prelude part makes the hearer discern the beginning of song.The prelude part can begin with the part that does not have tone, also can only play the prelude part with accompaniment.The ending is the part after the theme.Yet in this manual, the ending only refers to the latter end of song.In some cases, because synthetic technology, the song impression of ending is quite different with the song impression of other parts, finishes so that the hearer discerns this song.Can only play the ending, also can finish this ending with the part that does not have tone with accompaniment.
Therefore, in embodiments of the present invention, the music data reproducing part 6 main parts that do not comprise prelude part and ending of reproducing each music data file that is stored in the data storage part 2.Yet, when stopping reproducing music because finishing exercise, the preferred song that comprises its ending of reproducing.Prelude part and ending can be by analyzing music data file or detecting by being discerned by musical expert automatically.Alternatively, can only distinguish the prelude part and the ending of every first song according to time span.For example, can judge that prelude partly is 20 seconds that starting position from each music data file begins, and the ending is from the back several 60 seconds position of the end position of each music data file.
For example, the specific reproduction time of the recovery time of the music data file shown in Fig. 2 B than 1 minute is short.The very short music data file of recovery time length causes frequently switching between each music data file, and hearer's ear is felt under the weather.Therefore, in embodiments of the present invention, do not reproduce these music data files.For example, the recovery time of the music data file shown in Fig. 2 C falls into longer and than the specific reproduction of 3 minutes weak points in the time than 1 minute.Therefore, reproduce this music data file.The recovery time of the music data file shown in Fig. 2 D is longer than 3 minutes, and it has surpassed the specific reproduction time.Therefore, utilize 3 minutes, reproduce this music data file as the special time restriction.In an example shown, the reproducing part of back counting these music data collection from the beginning of ending part, determining this reproducing part, yet, also can determine this reproducing part according to the end position of prelude part.Because the reproduction of the song that the recovery time is long is easy to cause the hearer tired, so recovery time length is applied this restriction.Yet,, preferably make the hearer listen long as far as possible music data file if having particular cadence value or few near the quantity of the music data file of rhythm value.Therefore, under any circumstance, or in the quantity of music data file after a little while, can remove the recovery time length restriction, this reproducing part is defined as do not comprise the largest portion of prelude part and ending.
Example shown in Fig. 2 B to 2D is based on each music data file has the music rhythm of almost fixed respectively for whole first song prerequisite.Yet, in the example shown in Fig. 2 E, the music rhythm of song have at least one cause music rhythm drop on specific permissible range (for example, ± 5% or ± 3BPM) outer variation.Therefore, determine that variation has taken place music rhythm shown in Fig. 2 E.In this case, each reproducing part of music rhythm almost fixed is as the independent music data file with different music rhythms.For example, if identical with situation shown in Fig. 2 C to 2D, the specific reproduction time ratio of each music data file reproducing part 1 minute is long and than 3 minutes weak points, then can use separately.
Music organization data division shown in Fig. 2 A is the database that is used to organize above-mentioned a plurality of music data files.This music organization data division only also comprises the data of organizing of when realizing specific function needs.Fig. 2 F illustrates the example set organization data of the music data file of Wave data type, and these tissue data are included in the music organization data division.
The organization number data representation is in order to discern the numbering that music data file is provided with, yet the example shown in Fig. 2 E has independent organization number to first reproducing part and second reproducing part.Music data start address data (start address of music data file) and specify this music data file to be stored in zone in the data storage part 2 about the data (data length of music data file) of music data length.First of example shown in Fig. 2 E organizes data and second to organize data to specify same zone.Can discern under the situation of music data file memory block according to the music data file numbering, can describe this music data file numbering, and not describe start address and data length.
Categorical data points out that this music data file is the Wave data type, or the such performance data type.The music rhythm data are pointed out original music rhythm.In the example shown in Fig. 2 E, the music rhythm data in the data of organizing that are included in this first reproducing part are pointed out the music rhythm of head half part, and the music rhythm data in the data organized that are included in second reproducing part are pointed out the music rhythm of latter half.The song impression data is represented the music rhythm speed class of music data, and the hearer feels this grade.Because the music rhythm felt of the numerical value of music rhythm and hearer is inconsistent in some cases, thus this song impression data is provided, however the song impression data is not an essential part of the present invention.The position that the reproduction start position data representation begins to reproduce, Fig. 2 C to Fig. 2 E illustrates this position.Utilization is represented this reproduction start position data from time or clock that the tip position of song data begins to count.For the data of organizing of the latter half of reproducing part shown in Fig. 2 E, reproduction start position is represented the position that music rhythm changes.Reproduce the position of this end of reproduction of end position data representation, Fig. 2 C to Fig. 2 E illustrates this position.Time or clock that utilization begins to count from the top of song data are represented this reproduction end position data.
The beat position data generally includes a plurality of beat position data sets (1), (2), (3) ....The first beat position that utilizes time or clock timing that beat position (1) expression begins to measure from the top of music data.Equally, beat position (2), (3) expression know that this song finishes the position of each beat of back before.More particularly, beat position (2), (3) ... that expression begins to measure from the top of this song or according to and a last beat position between difference each position of calculating.Yet if describe all beat positions that are included in this song, this data volume is huge.Therefore, can reduce the beat position data, for example, beat of each part, or every beat of several beats.By carrying out interpolation, can estimate the beat position of ignoring.In addition, if do not reproduce prelude part and ending, the beat position in the reproducing part is only described then.Yet, if prelude part and ending the length that length becomes requirement is set, if or prelude partly and the ending also reproduced, all beat positions of song are preferably described.For the data of organizing of head half part of reproducing part shown in Fig. 2 E, describe and be positioned at change beat position before the position of music rhythm.For the data of organizing of the latter half of reproducing part shown in Fig. 2 E, the beat position that is positioned at after the position that music rhythm changes is described.
Fig. 2 G illustrates the example set organization data of the music data file of such performance data type, and these tissue data are included in this music organization data division.Identical about organization number, music data (file) start address and music data (file) length, music rhythm, song impression, reproduction start position and each data of reproducing the completing place and above-mentioned Wave data shown in Fig. 2 E.Categorical data points out that this music data file is the such performance data type.In the such performance data type, determine or estimation beat position according to the event timing that is included in the note data, therefore, need not to describe the beat position data.
As mentioned above, data storage part 2 has the music organization data field, and therefore, reproducing control section 5 is read music data file with reference to this organization table.Then, the music data file that reproducing control section 5 identifications satisfy condition with reference to the start address and the data length of the music data file of being discerned, is read the music data file of being discerned.Therefore, when music data file being write in the data storage part 2, music data obtains part 1 and not only obtains this music data file from external unit, and obtains and organize data, for example, and categorical data and music rhythm data.If organize data unavailable, then music data obtains part 1 and analyzes this music data, tries to achieve the data of organizing of itself, then, the data of organizing of trying to achieve is write the music organization data field.
Can think that the beat position data is a kind of such performance data.Therefore, data storage part 2 can be stored the beat position data file discretely with music data file.In this case, the data that are used to discern beat position data file zone are included in these music organization data.The music organization data that replacement is used above, the Head Section of each music data file etc. can comprise organizes data, for example, categorical data, music rhythm data and song impression data.In this case, when reading music data file, reproducing control section 5 direct access music data files are to find the music data file that satisfies condition.
With reference to (A) among the figure 1, go on to say free schema again.When user's even pace on foot, the music rhythm of music rhythm specified portions 4 appointments does not change.Therefore, reproducing control section 5 makes music data reproducing part 6 reproduce the music data of selecting, and expires up to the recovery time of this music data,, just at the end of before the part, stops reproducing the music data of selecting that is.After finishing the reproducing part of music data file of selection, reproducing control section 5 makes music data reproducing part 6 begin to reproduce the music data file of new selection, so that continue automatic reproducing music.Therefore, before finishing reproducing part, select the music data file of music rhythm value a plurality of music data files of reproducing control section 5 in being stored in data storage part 2 corresponding to the music rhythm of appointment.When carrying out this selection,, then select follow-up music data file with same music rhythm value if the music rhythm of music rhythm specified portions 4 appointments is not changed.
Stopping walking or running by sensing user, or the subscriber switch operation that is used to stop to reproduce by sensing, reproducing control section 5 is received when being used to stop the instruction of reproducing music data, the reproducing control section 5 preferred music datas that allow to reproduce selection are taken exercise consistent up to the ending of this music data file with termination.For example, the unshowned sensing part that repeats take exercise to stop is set, with according to the output of rhythm sensing part 3 sensings of walking (rhythm of walking is 0 state continuance special time period or longer), or according to the operation of user's shutdown switch, sensing repeats to take exercise and stops.
During the user walked or runs, above-mentioned rhythm sensing part 3 each (beginning) regularly (timing in one step of beginning) of walking of sensing in real time of walking then, was exported this sensing result immediately.In first time when reproducing music data or follow-up reproducing music data, reproducing control section 5 makes first beat of reproducing part of music data file regularly regularly synchronous with walk (beginning) of rhythm sensing part 3 sensings of walking.Therefore, after having selected music data file and having begun to reproduce this music data file, the user walk (beginning) regularly with begin to reproduce after the beat of first appearance regularly identical.Shown in Fig. 2 C to 2E, predetermined reproduction starting point needs not to be first beat timing of reproducing part.Therefore, will be scheduled to reproduce starting point is arranged on before the timing of first beat.Replacement should predeterminedly be reproduced starting point, and reproducing starting point can be above-mentioned first beat timing of reproducing part.When being positioned at the reproduction starting point,,, can prevent the interrupt music reproduction up to beginning to reproduce follow-up music data file as long as continue to reproduce previous music data file.
According to before reproduction start position data in music data is stored in data storage part 2 and the beat position data shown in Fig. 2 F, above-mentioned first beat that can obtain this music data reproducing part regularly.If each beat is described the beat position data, then first beat regularly is to be positioned at the reproduction start position first beat position afterwards.Yet, if each beat is not described the beat position data, utilize interpolation processing, estimate the beat position that at first occurs after this reproduction start position.When the auxiliary mode of Miao Shuing reproduces beat tone down in the back, beat position data shown in the prognostic chart 2F.Be used to discern the data that are positioned at the reproduction start position first beat position afterwards as long as stored, just can use free schema.
In some cases, the user stops suddenly walking or running.In this case, the rhythm value of walking of the rhythm sensing part of walking 3 outputs reduces suddenly, causes the music rhythm of music rhythm specified portions 4 appointments to reduce suddenly like this.According to walking the rhythm value, the rhythm value of can Direct Recognition walking reduces suddenly.Except Direct Recognition, according to the music rhythm value of music rhythm specified portions 4 appointments, the rhythm value of can indirect identification walking reduces suddenly.When the rhythm value of walking reduced suddenly, reproducing control section 5 was hung up music data reproducing part 6 and is reproduced this music data, restored up to this rhythm value of walking.Alternatively, reproducing control section 5 can continue to reproduce the music data of current reproduction, restores up to this rhythm value of walking.As mentioned above, reproducing control section 5 is specified music rhythm according to the rhythm of walking, yet, according to the rhythm of walking, also can control other tonal properties of music data.For example, along with the quickening of the rhythm of walking, can make and reproduce the sound increase.In addition, according to the rhythm of walking, not only can control music rhythm, and can control other tonal properties.

When music rhythm specified portions 4 is specified than the slow music rhythm (reduction rhythm) of the music rhythm value of the music data file of music data reproducing part 6 current reproductions, reproducing control section 5 search are stored in the song impression data of a plurality of music data files in the data storage part 2, with from one or more have than the music data of current reproduction feel the music data file of slow more slow rhythm impression, select the music data file of music rhythm value corresponding to the music rhythm of appointment.Can give the priority higher to these music rhythm data,, then select to satisfy the music data file of song impression condition if so that there be the music data file of a plurality of music rhythm values corresponding to the music rhythm value of appointment than song impression data.
Then, will " auxiliary mode " be described with reference to (B) among the figure 1.The auxiliary mode that the present invention describes is to be used for user's reproducing music data, so that the user walks or run with the rhythm of walking of the music data music rhythm that meets current reproduction, to realize best pattern of tempering efficient.In (B) in Fig. 1, utilize with Fig. 1 in (A) in identical Reference numeral represent respectively with Fig. 1 in (A) in the identical part of part.According to the various personal data of user's input and the exercise mode of customer requirements, part 7 is set music rhythm and the target heart that is fit to the user is set.To describe the personal data and the exercise mode of user's input with reference to figure 8 in detail.The desired value that is provided with can be to utilize heart rate (for example, the heart rate of per minute) Biao Shi target heart, yet, this desired value also can be by heart rate being converted to the target exercise intensity level (for example, utilizing number percent [%HR reservation] expression of reserving (reserve) amount with estimated maximum heart rate) that exercise intensity is tried to achieve.Under latter instance, the heart rate of heart rate sensing part 8 sensings is converted to target exercise intensity, so that compare.
Therefore, in this manual, target heart or heart rate comprise the target exercise intensity of conversion.The whole period of walking or running for the user, or for whole period in specific exercise stage, above-described target heart is set to same value.Alternatively, can target heart being set to can be As time goes on and the value that changes.The value of setting of above-mentioned music rhythm can be the value that is provided with when beginning to walk or run, and also can be the value that is provided with during the stage in the beginning specific exercise.
During the user walks or runs, heart rate sensing part 8 sensing hearts rate.Because heart rate and pulse have same value,, the embodiment of the invention acts on the term of describing heart rate and pulse so using " heart rate ".In some cases, heart rate sensing part 8 reduces noise, before the heart rate that obtains in output, tries to achieve moving average (moving average).Music rhythm specified portions 9 is specified the music rhythm values like this, so that reduce the heart rate of heart rate sensing part 8 sensings and poor between the target heart that part 7 is provided with is set, the music rhythm that part 7 settings are set is defined as initial value.For example, according to the music rhythm value of the music data of current reproduction, music rhythm specified portions 9 is specified the music rhythm values.Desired user is walked or is run, and the music rhythm value of the music data of rhythm and current reproduction is coincide so that it is walked.A plurality of music data files of reproducing control section 10 in the music rhythm data with each music data file are stored in data storage part 2, select the music data file of music rhythm value corresponding to the music rhythm of music rhythm specified portions 9 appointments.Then, reproducing control section 10 makes and begins to reproduce the music data file of selection.
More particularly, when the heart rate of heart rate sensing part 8 sensings drops on outside the particular range that the target heart that part 7 settings are set is provided with, music rhythm specified portions 9 is adjusted the music rhythm value, specify with music rhythm value, thereby reduce difference between this heart rate and the target heart according to the music data file of current reproduction.The particular range of target heart is defined as expanding respectively to forward and negative sense from this target heart the scope of specified quantitative.Alternatively, this particular range can be defined as the scope of expanding the amount of the target heart that equals special ratios from this target heart to forward and negative sense respectively.Music rhythm value defined that will appointment is the value of the music rhythm value of the music data of the current reproduction that departs from special ratios from the music rhythm value of the music data of current reproduction to forward and negative sense respectively.Alternatively, music rhythm value that appointment can be to depart from the value of specified quantitative respectively to forward and negative sense from the music rhythm value of the music data of current reproduction.
Adjust will appointment the music rhythm value time, music rhythm specified portions 9 can be made amendment according to the music rhythm value of current appointment.Because the music rhythm listened of user is the music rhythm value of the music data of current reproduction, so that this music rhythm value need not is consistent with the music rhythm value of appointment.Therefore, preferably make amendment according to the music rhythm of the music data of current reproduction.
When music rhythm specified portions 9 is specified another music rhythm, reproducing control section 10 can select to have the music data file of this another music rhythm from a plurality of music data files in being stored in data storage part 2, then, make music data reproducing part 6 begin to reproduce the music data file of selection.Yet this embodiment desired user is walked with the rhythm of walking consistent with music rhythm.Therefore, preferably do not change music rhythm continually, frequently changing music rhythm can produce burden to the user.On the contrary, if heart rate changes suddenly, particularly, if heart rate raises suddenly, what for, also need to reduce its rhythm of walking, to prevent the excessive exercise intensity of loading to during the reproducing music data file.In order to satisfy opposite requirement, as described below, dispose this embodiment.
If the heart rate of heart rate sensing part 8 sensings drops on outside first particular range of target heart expansion, then according to the music rhythm value of the music data file of current reproduction, music rhythm specified portions 9 change will appointment the music rhythm value, to reduce poor between this heart rate and the target heart, then, make reproducing control section 10 select the music data file of music rhythm value, thereby make music data reproducing part 6 begin to reproduce the music data file of selection corresponding to the music rhythm of appointment.In addition, if when the part music data of the current reproduction of end of reproduction, this heart rate drops on outside second particular range of target heart expansion, this second particular range falls in first particular range, then music rhythm specified portions 9 according to the music rhythm value of the music data file of current reproduction change will appointment the music rhythm value, to reduce poor between this heart rate and the target heart, thereby after finishing the part music data file that reproduces current reproduction, make reproducing control section 10 select the music data file of music rhythm value, so that music data reproducing part 6 is reproduced the music data file of selecting corresponding to the music rhythm of appointment.
Above-mentioned first and second particular ranges are defined as respectively from this target heart expand the scope of first specified quantitative respectively and expand the scope of second specified quantitative from this target heart to forward and negative sense respectively to forward and negative sense.Yet, first and second particular ranges can be defined as respectively from this target heart expand respectively to forward and negative sense first special ratios this target heart scope and expand the scope of this target heart of second special ratios respectively to forward and negative sense from this target heart.In addition, with music rhythm specified portions 9 will appointment the music rhythm value defined depart from the value of this music rhythm value of special ratios respectively to forward and negative sense for music rhythm based on the music data file of current reproduction.Alternatively, music rhythm value defined that can appointment departs from the value of specified quantitative respectively to forward and negative sense for the music rhythm value based on the music data of current reproduction.This heart rate is dropped on the absolute value of the special ratios that the absolute value of the absolute value of special ratios of the situation setting outside first particular range of this target heart expansion and specified quantitative may be provided with greater than the situation outside second particular range that this heart rate is dropped in first particular range and the absolute value of specified quantitative.
Exist because incorrect initial value that this music rhythm is set or target heart etc., and feel to be difficult to or be not easy to the situation of walking or running with the rhythm of walking that the music rhythm with the music data file of current reproduction coincide the exercise period user.In order to handle this undesirable situation, this equipment that is used to control reproducing music is provided with music rhythm and changes manipulater, so that the user is using it during walking or running.For example, music rhythm changes manipulater and comprises: " reducing the rhythm button ", taking exercise too at need, press it; And " adding the fast pace button ", when taking exercise too easily, press it.In addition, unshowned music rhythm is set changes indicating section, detecting the operation of above-mentioned button, thereby indication music rhythm specified portions 9 changes the music rhythm values.
Music rhythm specified portions 9 becomes the music rhythm value of appointment the value of indication immediately, and make reproducing control section 10 select the music data file of music rhythm value corresponding to the music rhythm of indication, then, change the music rhythm value that indicating section is indicated according to music rhythm, change the target heart that part 7 settings are set.
Therefore, press " reduce rhythm button " music rhythm is become music rhythm more at a slow speed, and select, thereby switch the music data file that will reproduce corresponding to this music data file of music rhythm at a slow speed.In addition, when pressing " reducing the rhythm button ", reduce target heart.Even the heart rate of sensing is low, this music rhythm is not accelerated to according to definite grade before was set yet.Pressing " adding the fast pace button " becomes more rapid music rhythm with this music rhythm, and selects corresponding to this rapid music rhythm music data file, thereby switches the music data file that will reproduce.In addition, when pressing " adding the fast pace button ", improve target heart.Therefore, even the heart rate height of sensing is not reduced to this music rhythm according to definite grade before was set yet.When pressing these buttons and switch the music data file that will reproduce, can change music rhythm immediately, and level and smooth conversion does not take place, or not reproduce temporary transient music data.
In addition, when changing music rhythm that the indicating section indication will change according to music rhythm and changed music rhythm that part 7 appointments are set and target heart,, also can keep this changes new setting afterwards even behind powered-down.Therefore, even for the exercise that recovers, still remain valid in user's indication of the change music rhythm of exercise period setting.In other words, when recovering to walk or run, utilize the user to press the initial value and the target heart of the music rhythm of " reducing the rhythm button " or " adding the fast pace button " change, present embodiment is fit to help each user to perform physical exercise by everyone under auxiliary mode.
Because reproducing control section 5 selects the function of music data files identical under the free schema shown in (A) among the function that reproducing control section 10 is selected music data files and Fig. 1, therefore, omits this function is described.In some cases, as mentioned above, the music rhythm of music rhythm specified portions 9 appointments was changed before the reproducing part of reproducing the music data file of selecting finishes.In this case, select the music data file of music rhythm value a plurality of music data files of reproducing control section 10 in being stored in data storage part 2 corresponding to the music rhythm of new appointment.
In addition, under the auxiliary mode shown in (B) in Fig. 1, the rhythm sensing part 3 of walking shown in (A) among Fig. 1 can be set, to have the function of sensing is walked or run during the user walks or runs walk regularly (walking the start time).Therefore, in beginning for the first time or during follow-up reproducing music data, this function make reproducing control section 10 make music data file reproducing part first beat regularly with the time synchronized of walking of sensing.If the user walks or runs, the beat of the music data file of time and current reproduction regularly coincide so that it is walked, then do not need to be used to make beat regularly and the device of the time synchronized of walking, and only need to make current reproduction music data file beat regularly with the beat of follow-up music data file regularly synchronously.
In addition, music data reproducing part 6 can comprise the metronome generating portion, and when beat occurring, it produces the metronome of short time period.For example, make tone generator reproduce such performance data, thereby send rhythm sound with variable music rhythm, for example percussion instrument sound, bass and metronome sound, thus realize the generation of metronome.In some cases, during above-mentioned reproducing music data file, the user is difficult to grasp the music rhythm of song.Yet as long as the user can not grasp this music rhythm, the user just can not make its walk rhythm and this music rhythm identical.
Therefore, this embodiment is provided with unshowned metronome and generates specified portions, and the operation that it is selected according to the user determines whether to produce above-mentioned metronome.If select to produce metronome, then this metronome generating portion produces metronome with the music rhythm of music rhythm specified portions 9 appointments.Compare with music data, this metronome makes the user be easier to grasp music rhythm, helps the user to change its rhythm of walking, to coincide with this music rhythm.Yet when producing metronome, music data reproducing part 6 is gone back the reproducing music data file, and music data reproducing part 6 can be closed the output of (quiet) this reproducing music data file.
The metronome generating portion preferably produces metronome with the music rhythm value of the music data file of current reproduction, simultaneously the beat of the music data of current reproduction regularly (beat position) regularly realize synchronous between (beat position) with first beat of this metronome.The music rhythm of the music data file that reproduces needs not to be fixing.Therefore, along with the progress of reproducing music data, between the beat position of the beat position of this music data and this metronome, produce remarkable phase shift.Therefore, even when reproducing this music data, preferably make the beat position homophase of the music data of the beat position of metronome and reproduction.Therefore, require when beginning to reproduce, and require the beat position of the music data file of the current reproduction of continuous detecting.
For example, for the music data of Wave data type,, detect the beat position by analyzing this music data automatically.Alternatively, can be in this music data be stored in data storage part 2 with the beat position data.Shown in Fig. 2 F, more particularly, the music organization data of the music data file of Wave data type have each beat position that description is positioned at song specific reproduction part at least, for example beat position (1), (2), (3) ... data.If the music data that reproduces is the such performance data type, then, can directly detects each beat position easily or estimate each beat position according to being included in by the event time in the note data of this music data being analyzed acquisition.Therefore, shown in Fig. 2 G, in the music organization data, do not need to comprise the beat position data.

Fig. 4 C is the process flow diagram (S45 shown in Fig. 4 A) of reproduction processes.If at S61, determine that this equipment is in free schema, then this processing enters S62, with the sensing result according to the rhythm sensor 26 of walking, tries to achieve user's the rhythm of walking.At S64, rhythm changes if detect on foot, then reassigns another music rhythm (will elaborate with reference to figure 5).At S65, if it is poor to exist between the music rhythm of the music rhythm of appointment formerly and new appointment, if or the specific reproduction time of the music data of current reproduction expires, then this processing enters S66 (elaborating with reference to figure 7), with search flash ROM 22, with the music data file of selection music rhythm value, thereby the music data file of selecting is sent to cache memory (RAM23) from flash ROM 22 corresponding to the music rhythm of new appointment.At S67, the music data file of selecting is sent to music data reproducing circuit 30 from cache memory, to begin to reproduce this music data file.
If this equipment is in auxiliary mode, then this processing proceeds to S68 from S61, S63, with the sensing result according to heart rate sensor 27, tries to achieve user's heart rate (moving average calculation in some cases).At S69,, specify music rhythm (will elaborate) with reference to Figure 10 according to the scope that the best heart rate curve based on user's heart rate is provided with.Then, this processing enters S65, at S65, if have difference between the music rhythm of the music rhythm of appointment formerly and new appointment, if or the specific reproduction time of the music data of current reproduction expire, then select music data file, to begin to reproduce the music data file of selection.Yet in this embodiment, auxiliary mode has S65 fixed condition really, and this determines condition, and fixed condition is different really with free schema.If this equipment is in any other pattern, then this processing proceeds to S70 from S61, S63, to carry out other processing.If this equipment is in the pattern that this equipment comes reproducing music as conventional music player, then reproduces this music data, and do not consider walk rhythm and heart rate.
Fig. 5 is illustrated in detail in (S64 shown in Fig. 4 C) under the free schema, is used to specify the process flow diagram of the processing of music rhythm.In Fig. 5, rhythm sensor 26 output expressions (beginning) pulse regularly on foot of walking was described for per step.At S81, CPU 21 measures and steps the required time in a step (walking the time), then, the Measuring Time of multistep temporarily is stored in RAM 23 grades.At S82, from last 6 steps, get rid of the step of peaked step and minimum value, in the hope of the moving average of time of walking in 4 steps of remainder, to reduce noise.At S83, the step number according to the moving average calculating per minute of trying to achieve is defined as rhythm value on foot with the step number that will be calculated.
Then, specify music rhythm.More particularly, at S84, try to achieve the music rhythm value of the music data file of current reproduction.At S85, whether the music rhythm value that the rhythm value of walking of determining sensing surpasses the music of current reproduction kept for 6 steps more than or equal to the state of ± 3BPM (beat of per minute), in other words, whether kept dropping on the state outside " first particular range ".For the rhythm of walking of 120BPM, above-mentioned state is corresponding to 3 seconds duration, and for the rhythm of walking of 180BPM, and above-mentioned state was corresponding to 2 seconds duration.
If in step is definite certainly, then this processing enters S86, with the rhythm of respectively walking of determining continuous 6 steps whether fall into from the moving average of the rhythm of walking in this 6 step begin to expand ± scope of 3BPM in, in other words, whether keep the fluctuation of rhythm on foot to fall into " second particular range " interior state.If at S86 is definite certainly,, " the current rhythm of walking " is defined as the new rhythm of walking then at S87." the current rhythm of walking " can be the rhythm value of walking in this 6 step, or the moving average in these 6 steps.At S88, the rhythm value of newly walking be defined as will appointment the music rhythm value.If do not satisfy step S85 or S86 fixed condition really, then in this is handled, do not change will appointment the music rhythm value.
In above-mentioned object lesson, step S82 has eliminated the influence of the transient fluctuation in per step.Step S85 prevents that the variation slightly of walking from causing the music rhythm frequent variations.Step S86 is set,, waits for stable walking, but can omit step S86 with before specifying new music rhythm value.Therefore, these steps have been avoided frequent switching music data, frequently switch music data and can cause this music to make the ear incompatibility, or make the user uncomfortable.
Above-mentioned first particular range is defined as expanding respectively to forward and negative sense from the music rhythm value of the music data of current reproduction the scope of first specified quantitative.Yet, first particular range can be defined as the scope of music rhythm value of music data of expanding the current reproduction of first special ratios from the music rhythm value of the music data of current reproduction to forward and negative sense respectively.Above-mentioned second particular range is defined as the scope of expanding second specified quantitative from the moving average of the rhythm of walking to forward and negative sense respectively.Yet second particular range can be defined as expanding respectively to forward and negative sense from the moving average of the rhythm of walking the scope of the rhythm moving average of walking of second special ratios.
Fig. 6 is the figure that utilizes the object lesson explanation that reproducing music data shown in the S65 to S67 among Fig. 4 C are controlled.Each dark-part is represented the each several part of prelude part or ending, and dash area is represented level and smooth conversion portion.Music data file is provided with symbol (a) to (e).When beginning to walk, preferably the position after prelude partly finishes is selected and reproducing music data file (a), so that first beat of the reproducing part of this music data file (a) regularly coincide with the time of walking.In institute's elapsed time (1), the rhythm of walking drops on outside the particular range, cause so then will appointment music rhythm change, make and select the music data file (c) of music rhythm value corresponding to new music rhythm.
The simplest and changing method that do not produce delay is that the position after partly finishing from prelude begins reproducing music data file (c) immediately.Yet, several seconds (for example, 5 seconds in) time period, reproducing music data file (a) still, thereby the method for level and smooth transfer power music data file can realize smooth connection between song.In this embodiment, except said method, utilize to begin to reproduce the method that next music data file (c) reproduces temporary transient music data file (b) before in institute's elapsed time (2) and also can between song, realize smooth connection.
Music data file (a) and the level and smooth conversion of temporary transient music data file (b) afterwards, only reproduce temporary transient music data file (b).Then, temporary transient music data file (b) and the level and smooth conversion of music data file (c), afterwards, reproducing music data file (c) only.In an example shown, in the recovery time that does not comprise prelude part and ending, realize smoothly conversion.Temporary transient music data file can be the Wave data type, yet, also can adopt the music data file of such performance data type, for example, be used to produce the above-mentioned such performance data of metronome, because such performance data changes its music rhythm easily.
Reproducing control section 5 makes and begins to reproduce temporary transient music data file (b), so that the music rhythm of music data (b) is regularly regularly consistent with the music rhythm and the beat of previous music data file (a) with beat.Reproducing control section 5 can be at the music rhythm of the temporary transient music data file of a plurality of phasic changes (b), so that the music rhythm of the follow-up music data file (c) of the music rhythm of temporary transient music data file (b) when reaching institute's elapsed time (2) gradually.Reproducing control section 5 is preferably determined the timing (institute's elapsed time (2)) that begins to reproduce, so that first beat of the reproducing part of follow-up music data file (c) regularly coincide with time of walking of user.In addition, reproducing control section 5 preferred these reproduction processes of control are so that the beat of temporary transient music data file (b) is regularly regularly consistent with above-mentioned first beat of reproducing part.The recovery time of temporary transient music data file (b) can be the set time section near 5 to 10 seconds.Yet, consider and the level and smooth conversion of follow-up music data file (c) that the recovery time of temporary transient music data file (b) is the time period of requirement.
If reproducing music data file (c) up to having passed through the specific reproduction time (in an example shown, at the end of before the part), is then finished and is reproduced this music data file (c).Therefore, instantaneous when finishing the reproducing part of the music data that reproduces current reproduction (from institute's elapsed time (3), through time point corresponding to the level and smooth time period of changing) (yet, because the processing time, need fulfil ahead of schedule), specify music rhythm, so that reproducing control section 5 is selected the music data file (d) of music rhythm value corresponding to the music rhythm of appointment.Then, in institute's elapsed time (4), reproducing control section 5 makes and begins reproducing music data file (d).Yet, in some cases, reproduce this music data file (c) again.In addition, in institute's elapsed time (3), reproducing control section 5 level and smooth converting music data files (c) and temporary transient music data file (b).In institute's elapsed time (4), reproducing control section 5 level and smooth conversion temporary transient music data file (b) and music data files (d), so that preferably begin reproducing music data file (d), so that first beat of the reproducing part of music data file (d) regularly coincide with the time of walking.
Then, institute's elapsed time (5) will be described, at this moment, because determine that according to the rhythm value of walking of rhythm sensor 26 sensings of walking the user has stopped walking at time arrival certain point before the time point of specific exercise time (recovery time) when expiring, or the user operated stop button, thereby imported and be used to the instruction that stops reproducing.In these cases, can stop to reproduce the music data (d) of current reproduction immediately.Alternatively, can reproduce the music data (d) of the current reproduction that comprises the ending.For example, when the user operates a stop button, reproduce the music data that comprises the ending.When the user operates stop button again, this reproduction is stopped immediately.
Yet, in this embodiment, utilize the method replacement of transferring to the calm stage to reproduce the method for the music data file (d) of the current reproduction that comprises the ending.More particularly, specific music rhythm is set, reproduces for use in calm.Music rhythm specified portions 4 is specified the music rhythm that is provided with, so that reproducing control section 5 is selected the music data file (e) of music rhythm value corresponding to the music rhythm of appointment.Then, in institute's elapsed time (6), reproducing control section 5 preferably makes music data reproducing part 6 beginning reproducing music data files (e), so that first beat of the reproducing part of music data file (e) regularly coincide with the time of walking.From institute's elapsed time (5) to being positioned at elapsed time (6) level and smooth EOC position before, reproduce temporary transient music data (b).If specified calm duration,, determine the starting point of reproducing music data file (e) then according to the condition that will reproduce the music data file (e) that comprises the ending.Then, in institute's elapsed time (6), with top identical mode, the beginning reproducing music data file (e).Select music data file if consider the song impression in above-mentioned calm stage, then, this user is produced mentation in this calm stage.
Fig. 7 is shown specifically the process flow diagram that (S66 among Fig. 4 C) selects music data file.Free schema and auxiliary mode all are provided with this processing.Different with the object lesson of describing with reference to (A) among the figure 1, (B), explanation is had the object lesson of giving limit priority with the music data file of specifying music rhythm same music rhythm value to use.At S91, CPU 21 music data file that search for music rhythm value is identical with the music rhythm value of appointment in flash ROM 22 (Wave data type).If exist, then CPU 21 transfers to S92.If there are a plurality of music data files that satisfy this condition, then CPU 21 transfers to S93, with select at random they one of.Should select history temporarily to be stored in the history lists, so that remain valid when not changing the music rhythm of appointment, CPU 21 will select music data file from the music data file outside the music data file of having selected.If CPU 21 has selected to satisfy all music datas of this condition, then CPU 21 returns initial selection.
If a kind of music rhythm becomes another kind of music rhythm, then, a kind of music rhythm before specifying once more, then CPU 21 can continue to select at random music data file.If should select historical storage in flash ROM 22, even then the power supply of this equipment is disconnected, the music data file of selecting before CPU 21 also can continue.If at S92, there are not a plurality of music data files, then CPU 21 transfers to S94, with the music data file of selecting to find.
At S91, S95, determine whether to exist the music rhythm value to drop on from the music rhythm of the appointment music data file (Wave data type) in forward and negative sense are expanded 3% scope of music rhythm of appointment respectively.If there are these music data files, then CPU 21 transfers to S96, to select the music rhythm value near the music data file of the music rhythm value of appointment.In addition, in this case, should select history temporarily to be stored in the history lists, so that do not remain valid when changing the music rhythm of appointment, CPU 21 never comprises and selects to have this in the music data file of the music data file of having selected near the music data file of music rhythm value.If CPU 21 has selected to satisfy all music data files of this condition, then CPU 21 returns this initial selection.In addition, if this music rhythm becomes another kind of music rhythm, then, specify last music rhythm once more, then CPU21 can not comprise still in falling into this scope that the music data file selection of the music data file of having selected has the music data file of closest value.In addition, can will should select historical storage in flash ROM 22.
If determine not exist the music data file (Wave data type) of music rhythm in the scope of forward and negative sense expansion 3% that falls into from appointment at S95, then at S97, CPU21 selects the music rhythm value near the music data file (such performance data type) of the music rhythm value of appointment, then, the data with the music rhythm of appointment are sent to music data reproducing circuit 30.Music data reproducing circuit 30 reproduces the music data (such performance data type) that transmits with the music rhythm of appointment.
In the object lesson of describing with reference to (A) among the figure 1, if exist one or more music rhythm values to fall into music data file in the particular range of the music rhythm value of appointment expansion, then reproducing control section 5 is selected music data file at random from these one or more music data files.This object lesson is corresponding to the situation that begins to handle at S95.Yet, in this case, if certainly determine, this processing execution S93, and if negate to determine, then this processing execution S97.In process flow diagram shown in Figure 7, select music data file, the height of the priority ratio such performance data type that the music data file of Wave data type is distributed simultaneously, still, at S91 to S95, also can handle the music data file of these two kinds of data types comparably.
Then, utilize the project that is provided with of this equipment and temper the object lesson of items displayed afterwards, describe the processing of S69 shown in Fig. 4 C that is used to specify music rhythm under the auxiliary mode.Fig. 8 A to Fig. 8 C be illustrate the project of setting, will appointment option and take exercise after the key diagram of items displayed.Mainly provide this that project is set to auxiliary mode.Fig. 8 A illustrates the basic setup project and begins to take exercise the project that is provided with of appointment before.About resting heart rate, before importing, the user when he wakes up, utilizes the heart rate sensor 27 be installed on this equipment or commercially available cardiotachometer minimum to the heart rate of its measurement.Also require the user to import its maximum heart rate.Yet, if the user does not know its maximum heart rate, can deduct its age (that is, the 220-age) by utilizing 220 according to the age of user of input, can be in the hope of its maximum heart rate.
According to resting heart rate and maximum heart rate, the equation (1) below utilizing is tried to achieve the pre-allowance n[% of maximum heart rate of estimation], that is, and corresponding to the heart rate of the pre-allowance of n%HR:
HRR＝(LHR-RHR)＊n/100+RHR ...(1)
HRR: corresponding to the heart rate of the pre-allowance of n%HR
LHR: maximum heart rate
RHR: resting heart rate
Wherein the pre-allowance of the maximum heart rate of Gu Jiing (the pre-allowance of HR) is (maximum heart rate-resting heart rate).
N[%] the expression exercise intensity, it is the ratio with respect to the pre-allowance of estimating of maximum heart rate.If this heart rate equals resting heart rate, then n is 0[%].If this heart rate reaches maximum heart rate, then n is 100[%].On the contrary, the equation (2) below utilizing can be in the hope of exercise intensity n[%]:
EI＝(HR-RHR)/(LHR-RHR)＊100 (2)
EI: exercise intensity n[%]
HR: heart rate
RHR: resting heart rate
LHR: maximum heart rate
About the project that is provided with that will appointment before beginning to take exercise, the user selects a kind of pattern from above-mentioned free schema and several auxiliary mode.Except these patterns, can also increase pattern as conventional music player reproducing music.Can design this equipment like this, so that allow the user to switch to conventional reproducing music pattern by the operation setting manipulater from free schema or auxiliary mode at exercise period.This equipment can also be designed like this, so that the pattern of before having selected is set to default setting.Alternatively, this equipment can be set like this, to have the schedule ability, the degree of physical exercise pattern so that automatically switch every day.
In an example shown, specify the exercise duration.Yet when having operated stop button, this equipment can stop the reproducing music data file, or transfers to the reproduction in calm stage.Therefore, needn't require to take exercise duration as project is set.When distance, the amount calories that consumes, the fat mass of consumption etc. reached specified quantitative, this equipment can also stop the reproducing music data automatically, or transfers to the reproduction in calm stage automatically.According to the pattern that is provided with of auxiliary mode and user's basic setup, this equipment is created the most suitable each user's degree of physical exercise (exercise menu).
When Fig. 8 B is illustrated in " pattern of jogging " selecting to be included under the auxiliary mode, specify detailed programs according to degree of physical exercise.The pattern of jogging has exercise period: warm-up 1, warm-up 2, jog (main exercise period), calm 1, calm 2.In each exercise period, duration, the initial value [BPM] and the target exercise intensity [%] of suitable each user's music rhythm are set.Can utilize the pre-allowance n[% of maximum target heart rate that equals to estimate] target heart [BPM] replace target exercise intensity [%].
As the above-mentioned initial value [BPM] of music rhythm and the most suitable this user's target exercise intensity [%], the default value that this equipment has according to the basic setup project and the project that is provided with of input before taking exercise is determined.Yet, can design this equipment, add the fast pace button or reduce initial value [BPM] and the target exercise intensity [%] that the rhythm button changes music rhythm by operation to allow the user.In addition, thereby influence user's exercise afterwards in order to allow the user to carry out this change by operation, this equipment can change user's default value, then, stores this new default value.In addition, according to previous workout results, this equipment can consider that its physiological age etc. changes user's default value.Items displayed after Fig. 8 C illustrates and takes exercise.Derive its stride by height, then, the stride of deriving be multiply by total step number by the user, can be in the hope of the running distance.Calorie quantity according to user's load calculation consumption.Be stabilized in 70% duration according to exercise intensity, the fatty quantity of calculation consumption.
Fig. 9 A is the key diagram that is illustrated in the best exercise intensity characteristic (best exercise intensity curve) under the pattern of jogging that is included under the auxiliary mode.Transverse axis represents to take exercise institute's elapsed time, and Z-axis is represented target exercise intensity n[%].Can utilize target heart (corresponding to the heart rate of the pre-allowance of n%HR) to replace this target exercise intensity.In this case, can will should the best exercise intensity characteristic be called the best heart rate characteristic of AD HOC (the best heart rate curve of AD HOC).Fig. 9 B is the key diagram that the music rhythm value of setting under the identical pattern of jogging is shown.Transverse axis represent to take exercise institute's elapsed time [minute], and Z-axis is represented music rhythm value of setting [BPM].Determine these values according to the value of setting shown in Fig. 8 B.
In this embodiment, only in " jogging " (main exercise period) stage, according to the comparative result between the scope of user's exercise intensity (heart rate) and target exercise intensity (target heart), this equipment changes this music rhythm, to help its exercise.In " warm-up 1 " and " warm-up 2 " (stage that begins to take exercise) stage, directly specify the music rhythm value that is provided with.In degree of physical exercise, target exercise intensity (target heart) only plays directive function.The music rhythm value that is provided with can be one.Yet, in an example shown, change the music rhythm value that is provided with, with according to institute's elapsed time of tempering the incipient stage, create two stages.
In " jogging " stage (main exercise period), be initial value with the music rhythm value defined that is provided with.The stage of " jogging " has fixing ownership goal exercise intensity (target heart), and this target exercise intensity is provided with from target exercise intensity n[%] permissible range of expansion.In an example shown, this permissible range is defined as from target exercise intensity n[%] expand 5[% respectively to forward and negative sense] scope.According to target exercise intensity n[%] ratio, determine target exercise intensity n[%] permissible range.Except this permissible range, the stage of jogging is provided with alert stage.In an example shown, this alert stage is defined as with respect to target exercise intensity n[%] symmetry, and leave the scope of target exercise intensity 15% respectively, that is, greater than numerical value n+15% less than the scope of numerical value n-15%.Can according to target exercise intensity n[%] ratio determine the warning scope.
As long as user's exercise intensity falls in the permissible range of the target exercise intensity that the current institute elapsed time is provided with, then do not change this music rhythm.Yet, if user's exercise intensity drops on outside the permissible range of target exercise intensity, and enter in one of two warning scopes being provided with away from this permissible range, even then during reproducing song, this equipment also changes this music rhythm, with the exercise intensity that reduces the user and the difference between the target exercise intensity.Then, this choice of equipment music rhythm value then, begins to reproduce the music data file of selection corresponding to the music data file of new music rhythm.
If when the recovery time of the music data file of current reproduction finishes, user's exercise intensity drops on outside the permissible range of target exercise intensity, but do not enter in one of two warning scopes, then this equipment changes music rhythm, with the exercise intensity that reduces the user and the difference between the target exercise intensity.After the recovery time of the music data file of current reproduction finished, this choice of equipment music rhythm value then, began to reproduce the music data file of selection corresponding to the music data file of new music rhythm.
In addition, in " calm 1 " and " calm 2 " (exercise ending phase),, directly specify the music rhythm value that is provided with identical in " warming up " stage.For degree of physical exercise, this target exercise intensity (target heart) only plays directive function.The music rhythm value that is provided with can be one.Yet, in an example shown,, change the music rhythm value that is provided with, to create two stages according to institute's elapsed time of tempering ending phase.
The reality that can consider the user rhythm of walking changes the music rhythm that is provided with in " calm 1 " stage.More particularly, utilize the rhythm sensor of walking that under free schema, uses, will utilize the rhythm sensor rhythm of walking of sensing before tempering ending phase of walking to compare with the music rhythm value that is provided with of tempering ending phase.According to this comparative result, will be appointed as the music rhythm value of " calm 1 " by changing the numerical value that the acquisition of music rhythm value is set of tempering ending phase.More particularly, to compare than numerical value of tempering the little specified quantitative of rhythm of walking of sensing before the ending phase and music rhythm value, will be defined as being designated as the music rhythm value of " cooling down 1 " according to this smaller value that relatively obtains to this exercises ending phase setting.Yet above-mentioned specified quantitative is the special ratios of the rhythm of walking of sensing, and specified quantitative can only be a particular value.
In that select will be when beginning to take exercise for example warm-up 1 and warm-up 2 o'clock and will be when finishing to take exercise for example calm 1 and during the music data file that reproduced in calm 2 o'clock, this equipment can be considered the song impression.At warming up period, select its song impression to make the music data file of music rhythm sensation fast (fast pace song impression).In the calm stage, select its song impression to make the music rhythm sensation expire the music data file of (slow rhythm song impression).
For auxiliary mode, change, select music data and take exercise between the timing of switching the reproducing music data file in the period in the music rhythm value of appointment at the main of the actual assisted user of this equipment, existence is closely related.Figure 10 is shown specifically to be used to specify main process flow diagram of tempering the processing of the music rhythm (S69 shown in Fig. 4 C) in the period under the auxiliary mode.In Fig. 9, this processing is corresponding to the stage of jogging (main exercise period).As mentioned above, the numerical value shown in this process flow diagram only as an example.At S101,, utilize the actual heart rate (HR) of heart rate sensor 27 sensings to calculate actual exercise intensity [%] according to above-described equation (2).In each step below, actual heart rate and target heart are converted to exercise intensity compare.
If at S102, the moving average (20 seconds) of determining actual exercise intensity less than 55 (=70-15) %, then this processing enters S103, improving music rhythm immediately, thereby the music rhythm that makes raising is than current music rhythm fast 5%.If at S104, the moving average (20 seconds) of determining actual exercise intensity greater than 85 (=70+15) %, then this processing enters S105, reducing this music rhythm immediately, thereby the music rhythm that makes reduction is than current music rhythm slow 5%.If at S106, the moving average (20 seconds) of the actual exercise intensity when determining to finish before the time of reproducing this music data file 6 seconds be equal to or greater than 55 (=70-15) % and less than 65 (=70-5) %, then this processing enters S107, improving the music rhythm of the music data file then will reproduce, thereby the music rhythm that makes next music data is than the music rhythm of current music data fast 5%.If at S108, the moving average (20 seconds) of the actual exercise intensity when determining to finish before the time of reproducing this music data file 6 seconds is (=70+5) % and the (=70+15) % that is less than or equal to 85 greater than 75, then this processing enters S109, reducing the music rhythm of the music data file then will reproduce, thereby the music rhythm that makes next music data is than the music rhythm of current music data slow 5%.
In above-mentioned steps,, adopt moving average for the influence that the transient fluctuation that reduces heart rate produces.About the actual heart rate itself of trying to achieve at S101, utilize moving average to measure this heart rate, so not enough, therefore, also adopted moving average in above-mentioned steps.In the step of above-mentioned S106, S108,6 seconds before the recovery time of music data file finishes, carry out this and determine, because 5 seconds before being right after the recovery time that is finishing this music data file, this music data file is smoothly changed with temporary transient music file.In addition, for the delay of considering that the afterwards required processing of determining step produces, should determine 1 second in advance again.
The key diagram of the processing controlled of reproducing music data.In Fig. 9, this processing is corresponding to the control that the stage of jogging (main exercise period) reproducing music data are carried out.Although this music data file is provided with symbol shown in Figure 11 (a) to (f), and is uncorrelated with the symbol that uses among Fig. 6.Yet, when beginning this main exercise period, this choice of equipment music data (a), then, position after prelude partly finishes begins to reproduce the music data (a) of selection, music data file (a) links together this music data file (a) and the music data file of warming up period with the level and smooth conversion of unshowned temporary transient music data file (b), temporary transient music data file (b).
In institute's elapsed time (1), actual exercise intensity (moving average) enters alert stage, cause will appointment music rhythm change.Then, this music rhythm changes and makes the music data (c) of this choice of equipment music rhythm value corresponding to the music rhythm of new appointment.Identical with free schema situation shown in Figure 6, this equipment is inserted in temporary transient music data between each music data file, realizes level and smooth conversion between temporary transient music data and this music data.Therefore, in institute's elapsed time (2), this equipment begins reproducing music data (c).Insert temporary transient music data (b) so that the beat of temporary transient music data (b) regularly respectively with before and music data file afterwards (a) and beat (c) regularly identical.In addition, progressively change the music rhythm of temporary transient music data (b) to the music rhythm of music data (c) from the music rhythm of music data (a).Therefore, this equipment can each music data file of seamless switching.
When these equipment reproducing music data (c), when having passed through the specific reproduction time (in an example shown, at the end of before the part), this equipment is finished reproducing music data (c).Certain time point (6 seconds before) before in the position of finishing reproducing music data (c) (5 seconds afterwards institute's elapsed time (3) in example shown in Figure 11), if actual exercise intensity (moving average) does not enter the warning scope, but drop on outside the permissible range, then change will appointment music rhythm.When obtaining the music data that then will reproduce, this device search music rhythm value then, is selected music data (d) corresponding to the music data file of the music rhythm of new appointment.Therefore, this equipment began before institute's elapsed time (3) is reproduced in the position of finishing reproducing music data (c) the temporary transient music data (b) with the level and smooth conversion of music data (c).In institute's elapsed time (4), the position that this equipment begins after prelude partly finishes begins to reproduce and the level and smooth music data of changing (d) of temporary transient music data (b).
When these equipment reproducing music data (d), when having passed through the specific reproduction time (before the ending), this equipment is finished reproducing music data (d).Certain time point (6 seconds before) before in the position of finishing reproducing music data (d) (5 seconds afterwards institute's elapsed time (5)), if actual exercise intensity (moving average) does not drop on outside the permissible range, then this equipment do not change will appointment music rhythm, then, the music data file that search then will be reproduced is selected music data (e).Therefore, this equipment began before institute's elapsed time (5) is reproduced in the position of finishing reproducing music data (d) the temporary transient music data (b) with the level and smooth conversion of music data (d).In institute's elapsed time (6), the position that this equipment begins after prelude partly finishes begins to reproduce and the level and smooth music data of changing (e) of temporary transient music data (b).
In institute's elapsed time (7), if to stopping time of main exercise period, then this equipment enters calm stage, not shown this process of flow process shown in Figure 10.In (B) in Fig. 1, the specific music rhythm that is fit to this user is set, reproduces for use in calm.Music rhythm specified portions 9 is specified the music rhythm that is provided with.Reproducing control section 10 is selected the music data file (f) of music rhythm value corresponding to the music rhythm of appointment, then, makes these music data reproducing part 6 beginnings reproduce the music data file of selecting (f) in institute's elapsed time (8).Temporary transient music data (b) is reproduced in the level and smooth EOC position of (8) from institute's elapsed time (7) to institute's elapsed time.If specified calm duration, then under the situation that will reproduce the music data file (f) that comprises the ending, determine the starting position of reproducing music data file (f).Then, in institute's elapsed time (8), beginning reproducing music data file (f).
As described in reference to figure 6, under auxiliary mode, if input stops the instruction of reproducing music data, then before stopping this reproduction, this equipment can reproduce the music data file that comprises the ending of current reproduction, also can select the music rhythm value corresponding to the music data file to the calm music rhythm that is provided with, then, reproduce the music data of selecting, finish up to the ending.Can revise Fig. 9 A to Figure 11,, and not warn scope so that only have permissible range.In this modification, in the time of outside exercise intensity drops on permissible range, or when the recovery time of the music data of current reproduction finishes (yet, if exercise intensity still is positioned at outside the permissible range), change the music rhythm of appointment.
Figure 12 illustrates music rhythm value of setting of utilizing under the best exercise intensity characteristic shown in Fig. 9 A, the 9B (best exercise intensity curve) and the pattern of jogging, controls the curve map of the object lesson of reproducing music data.In Figure 12, transverse axis represent to take exercise institute's elapsed time [minute].Z-axis (left side) is represented actual exercise intensity [%] and target exercise intensity [%], and Z-axis (right side) expression music rhythm [BPM].In Figure 12, the time span that obtains moving average is 4[second], but be 20[second in Figure 10].The longest recovery time of music data file is restricted to the 2[branch] 5[second] (having increased level and smooth switching time (for example 5[second])).Do not insert temporary transient music data (b).
