Road closes.Such as, if press conduction string 12f against sound column 14e, then closing of circuit and output signal are from the output of phase inverter 23
End 24b transmission is back to input 24a by demultiplexer 30, conduction string 12f, sound column 14e and conductor 22.If it is defeated
Go out the voltage counterlogic 0 of signal, be then transmitted back to the voltage also counterlogic of input 24a by conduction string 12f and conductor 22
0.As response, phase inverter 23 output has the output signal of the voltage of counterlogic 1.
Output signal provides right by the transmission further of conduction string 12f, sound column 14e and conductor 22 at input 24a
Answering the voltage of logic 1, it then passes through phase inverter 23 at the anti-phase voltage for counterlogic 1 of outfan.If conduction string 12f quilt
Pressing against sound column 14e, the transmission of the output signal between outfan 24b and input 24a just continues.Therefore, by conduction
The signal of string 12f transmission replaces between logic 1 and logic 1.
As shown in the curve chart of Fig. 3, output signal can be expressed as between the first phase 52a and the second phase 52b alternately
Square wave, the most named 50, in the first phase 52a, its voltage counterlogic 0, in the second phase 52b, its voltage correspondence is patrolled

On any bar sound column.
Such as, if signal with the light velocity (c) transmission and phase inverter 23 chord be pressed against sound column between distance be
D, then can be expressed as by square wave frequency produced by output signal alternately: F=1/ (ti+t0), it is wherein tiFor phase inverter 23
Inner time delay, and wherein t0=c/ (2d).Accordingly, because every sound column defines and the distance (d) of phase inverter 23, so energy
The string 12a-12f pressing against wherein sound column 14a-14f enough detected.
It is understood that for any string 12a-12f, it is possible to conduction string is pressed against sound column perform inspection
Survey.But, due to the distance different from conductor arrange each conduction string 12a-12f, the distance of this change can affect from
The signal frequency that middle transmission is passed through.Therefore, as mentioned previously, fingerboard 10 can include the outer longitudinal edge along fingerboard 10
Two conductors 22 and 22a arranged and be bonded together at input 24a.Two conductors 22, the most each string 12a-of 22a
12f is arranged so that for all conduction strings, and two conductors are equal with the average distance of each conduction string 12a-12f.
Therefore, two conductors 22,22a provide signal averaging, thereby promote the correct detection of frequency change, the change of this frequency be by
Phase inverter 23 chord be pressed against sound column between change apart from caused.
According to different examples, it is possible to use single conductor 22, but, CPU can be configured to, by considering string and conductor
Distance between 22, detects the string being pressed and thus calculates this frequency.For instance, it is possible to by pressure detector or
Perform to detect the string being pressed by receiving feedback from demultiplexer 30.It is to say, only working as DeMux
When device 30 is connected to the conduction string being currently pressed, just signal is transmitted back to input 24a.Therefore, demultiplexer 30
Data relevant with the string being pressed can be provided, enabling the distance between consideration string and conductor 22 for CPU

On special purpose interface be connected to stringed musical instrument.In this way, wish to receive and the note played and chord as user
During relevant instruction, it is possible to module is connected to stringed musical instrument.
Fig. 2 is the fingerboard 60 according to another example of the present invention and the block diagram of detecting system 70.Fingerboard 60 and the fingerboard in Fig. 1
10 is essentially identical and include many conduction string 62a-62f and be connected to a plurality of sound column 64a-of one or more conductor 68,68a
64f.Similarly, detecting system 70 is essentially identical with the detecting system 20 in Fig. 1 and includes having input 74a, outfan 74b
And the phase inverter 73 of demultiplexer 80, demultiplexer 80 is configured for selecting a wherein data output lead 84a-
84f, each data output lead 84a-84f are connected in conduction string 62a to 62f.
According to this example, detecting system 70 farther includes capacitor 78, and it is connected to the input 74a of phase inverter 73.
Capacitor 78 is configured to so that being charged capacitor by the signal of conductor 68,68a transmission, capacitor fills back then leads
Body, thus between capacitor and conductor, form resonance.This resonance with the form of electric oscillation, this electric oscillation by capacitor 78, lead
Body 68 and the interaction being pressed between the conduction string of wherein sound column 64a-64f are produced.Owing to leading
Body 68,68a and the impedance of conduction string 62a-62f, electric oscillation produces decay, and then signal arrives the input 74a of phase inverter 73.
When signal enters phase inverter 73, this signal is inverted.Such as, if the voltage that the signal of input 74a is counterlogic 1,
Then this signal inversion is its opposite logic levels by phase inverter 73, i.e. 0, and as being explained above with reference to Fig. 1 and 3.
When the voltage of counterlogic 0 transmits by conduction string and conductor 68, produce similar vibration.This electric oscillation occurs
Decay, and then the signal of logical zero arrives the input 74a of phase inverter 73, wherein this signal inversion is returned logic 1.
Therefore, as shown in the curve chart of Fig. 4, signal can be expressed as between the first phase 92a and the second phase 92b alternately
Square wave, the most named 90, in the first phase 92a, its voltage counterlogic 0, in the second phase 92b, its voltage correspondence is patrolled
Collect 1.First and second phases 92a and 92b all include a die-away time, and it can be expressed as T, and this die-away time makes signal wavelength
Add 2T, this is because generation twice of vibrating in each wavelength, i.e. logical zero is once with logic 1 phase the most once.This causes
Signal has bigger wavelength, i.e. have lower frequency so that be easy to detect small frequency change.
