Description

Pupitre informatique interactif, notamment pupitre musical Interactive computer desk, in particular musical desk
La présente invention concerne la présentation, la visualisation et la prise en compte d'informations et de données, notamment dans le domaine de la musique, et a pour objet un pupitre informatique interactif, notamment pupitre musical.The present invention relates to the presentation, display and taking into account of information and data, in particular in the field of music, and relates to an interactive computer desk, in particular a music desk.
Actuellement, la pratique et, plus particuliè¬ rement, l'apprentissage d'un instrument de musique néces¬ sitent généralement la mise en oeuvre de plusieurs acces¬ soires, à savoir, d'une part, un pupitre pour le support de la partition, d'autre part, un diapason pour l'accord préalable de l'instrument, sans que cet accord ne soit, toutefois, vérifié et, enfin, un métronome, notamment en phase d'apprentissage, pour aider à conserver une certai¬ ne régularité d'exécution et pouvoir maintenir un tempo donné.Currently, the practice and, more particularly, the learning of a musical instrument generally requires the use of several accessories, namely, on the one hand, a desk for supporting the score. , on the other hand, a tuning fork for the prior agreement of the instrument, without this agreement being, however, verified and, finally, a metronome, in particular in the learning phase, to help maintain a certai¬ ne regularity of execution and being able to maintain a given tempo.
A cette pluralité d'éléments accessoires, s'ajoutent généralement des dispositifs d'éclairage spé¬ cifiques supplémentaires, en vue d'autoriser une lecture convenable de la partition à exécuter. En outre, les feuillets des partitions, de constitution relativement délicate, font souvent l'objet d'inscriptions, d'indications ou de commentaires annotés par le professeur de musique, le chef d'orchestre ou le musicien lui-même, et relatifs à des modalités d'exécu- tion de l'oeuvre considérée, telles que tempo, nuance, articulation ou similaire, propres à celui ou celle qui porte ou fait porter lesdites annotations et susceptibles de changer ou d'être modifiées à plusieurs reprises.To this plurality of accessory elements, there are generally added additional specific lighting devices, with a view to authorizing a suitable reading of the score to be performed. In addition, the sheets of the scores, of relatively delicate constitution, are often the subject of inscriptions, indications or comments annotated by the music teacher, the conductor or the musician himself, and relating to terms of performance of the work under consideration, such as tempo, nuance, articulation or the like, specific to the person wearing or having said annotations marked and likely to change or be modified several times.
Par ailleurs, l'inscription d'indications par- ticulières ou le report de telles indications sur les feuillets des partitions d'un groupe nombreux (classe; de musique, orchestre, ... ) entraînent une perte de temps im¬ portante et un risque élevé d'annotations erronées, et nécessitent des accessoires d'écriture et d'effacement supplémentaires . De plus, il résulte de ces inscriptions et ef¬ facements répétés, une détérioration accélérée des feuil¬ lets de la partition (ou du volume de la méthode d'apprentissage) , ces derniers présentant déjà un nombre élevé d'inconvénients intrinsèques, à savoir, encombre- ment important, fragilité du support, sensibilité du sup¬ port au vent et aux agents atmosphériques, nécessité de manipulations gênantes pour le musicien et néfastes pour l'exécution (pages à tourner, maintien des feuillets) , prix élevé, obligation d'acheter les partitions par volu- mes entiers et délais importants entre la commande et l'obtention de ces derniers.In addition, the recording of particular indications or the recording of such indications on the sheets of partitions of a large group (class; music, orchestra, ...) entail a significant loss of time and a high risk of erroneous annotations, and require additional writing and erasing accessories. In addition, it results from these repeated inscriptions and facings, an accelerated deterioration of the sheets of the score (or of the volume of the learning method), the latter already having a high number of intrinsic drawbacks, namely , significant congestion, fragility of the support, sensitivity of the support to wind and atmospheric agents, necessity of troublesome manipulations for the musician and detrimental for the performance (pages to be turned, maintenance of sheets), high price, obligation to '' buy the scores in whole volumes and long delays between ordering and obtaining them.
Enfin, en phase d'apprentissage, l'élève n'est rendu attentif à ses erreurs et n'est susceptible d'être corrigé qu'en présence de son professeur ou éventuelle- ment d'un tiers présentant la qualification requise (par exemple des parents musiciens) , donc uniquement de ma¬ nière épisodique.Finally, during the learning phase, the pupil is only made aware of his errors and can only be corrected in the presence of his teacher or possibly a third party with the required qualification (for example parents who are musicians), so only episodically.
La présente invention a notamment pour but de pallier l'ensemble des inconvénients mentionnés ci- dessus.The object of the present invention is in particular to overcome all of the drawbacks mentioned above.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un pupi¬ tre interactif, notamment un pupitre musical, comprenant un piétement, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte également, d'une part, une unité de traitement et de gestion à mé- moires, reliée à au moins un dispositif de lecture/ enregistrement de supports de données et à au moins un moyen d'affichage et de visualisation, d'autre part, au moins un moyen de commande et/ou d'entrée de données et, enfin, des moyens de réception et d'émission de signaux sonores coopérant avec un ou plusieurs organes de signa- lisation, l'ensemble de ces éléments étant monté dans un ou plusieurs boîtiers compacts, dont une partie au moins est supportée par le piétement.To this end, the subject of the invention is an interactive pupi¬ tre, in particular a musical desk, comprising a base, characterized in that it also comprises, on the one hand, a memory processing and management unit , connected to at least one device for reading / recording data carriers and to at least one display and display means, on the other hand, at least one control and / or data input means and, finally , means for receiving and transmitting sound signals cooperating with one or more signaling bodies reading, all of these elements being mounted in one or more compact housings, at least part of which is supported by the base.

Ce montant pourra être avantageusement du type télescopique et être pourvu d'organes 1" de blocage en hauteur et de l'inclinaison de la portion supérieure. Selon une première caractéristique de l'inven¬ tion, le pupitre 1 interactif peut comporter deux dispo¬ sitifs 3 et 4 de lecture/enregis ement sous In forma do lecteurs de disques ou de disquettes informatiques, per¬ mettant notamment, l'un 3, la lecture de données, par exemple de notes d'une partition, mémorisées sur des sup¬ ports pré-enregistrés et leur affichage et visualisation par l'intermédiaire du moyen 5 et, l'autre 4, l'enregis¬ trement de données introduites grâce au( ) moyen(s) 6, 7, 9, 10 de commande et d'entrée de données et leur restitu- tion par le moyen 5 d'affichage et de visualisation en surimpression par rapport aux données pré-enregist ées et en concordance avec ces dernières.This amount may advantageously be of the telescopic type and be provided with organs 1 "for blocking in height and the inclination of the upper portion. According to a first characteristic of the invention, the interactive desk 1 may include two devices. sitives 3 and 4 for reading / recording in In forma do computer disk or floppy drives, allowing, in particular, one 3, the reading of data, for example notes from a score, stored on media prerecorded ports and their display and visualization by means 5 and, the other 4, the recording of data introduced by () means (s) 6, 7, 9, 10 for controlling and d input of data and their reproduction by the display and visualization means 5 superimposed on the prerecorded data and in accordance with the latter.
Néanmoins, le pupitre 1 interactif pourra éga¬ lement ne comporter qu'un unique dispositif de lecture/ enregistrement de supports de données, les données oriqi- nelles (notes de la partition et éven uellement premières annota ions), étant lues et sauvegardées temporairement au niveau de l'unité 2 de traitement et de gestion à mé¬ moires 2', puis, à la fin de la séance de travail, enre- gistrées, ensemble avec les annotations supplémentaires apportées (données entrées en cours de séance grâce à l'un des moyen 6, 7, 9 ou 10) , sur le même support ou, le cas échéant, sur un support différent de celui portant les données originelles. Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel de l'invention, représenté sur les figures 2 à 6 des dessins annexés, le moyen 5 d'affichage et de visualisation se présente sous la forme d'un écran plat, préfèren ielle- ent à affichage par cristaux liquides, pouvant être pourvu d'un moyen d'éclairage interne.However, the interactive console 1 may also include only a single device for reading / recording data carriers, the oriqi- data. nelles (notes of the score and possibly first annotations), being read and temporarily saved at the level of memory processing and management unit 2 2 ', then, at the end of the work session, - recorded, together with the additional annotations made (data entered during the session using one of the means 6, 7, 9 or 10), on the same support or, if necessary, on a support different from that carrying the original data. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, shown in FIGS. 2 to 6 of the appended drawings, the display and display means 5 is in the form of a flat screen, preferably with a crystal display. liquids, which may be provided with internal lighting means.

Afin de permettre d'accorder aisément et de ma¬ nière sûre l'instrument de l'élève ou du musicien préala¬ blement à une séance d'étude ou de répétition, notamment personnelle, le pupitre 1 comporte des voyants lumineux 13, avantageusement de couleurs différentes, allumés ou non en fonction du résultat de la comparaison entre un signal sonore émis par le générateur de signaux sonores 12 et un signal sonore capté ultérieurement par le micro¬ phone 11, ce après écoulement d'une durée prédéfinie ou après actionnement d'une commande appropriée au niveau des moyens 6 à 10. 7 Selon une caractéristique supplémentaire de l'invention, le pupitre 1 comprend également un disposi¬ tif de génération de pulsations rythmiques, par exemple sous la forme d'un compteur-décompteur programmable, re- lié au générateur de signaux sonores 12 pour l'émission de signaux sonores répétitifs de durée limitée et au moyen 5 d'affichage et de visualisation pour la réalisa¬ tion d'une animation visuelle à mouvements alternatifs, ledit dispositif de génération de pulsations rythmiques pouvant, en outre, déterminer la vitesse de défilement au niveau du moyen 5 d'affichage et de visualisation de don¬ nées lues sur des supports correspondants par le ou les dispositifs 3, 4 de lecture/enregistrement.As also shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 of the appended drawings, the means 11 and 12 for receiving and transmitting sound signals consist respectively of a high-fidelity microphone 11 and of a sound signal generator 12 connected to a loud speaker fidelity 12 '. In order to allow the pupil or the musician's instrument to be easily and securely tuned prior to a study or rehearsal session, in particular personal, the desk 1 includes indicator lights 13, advantageously of different colors, on or off depending on the result of the comparison between an audible signal emitted by the audible signal generator 12 and an audible signal subsequently picked up by the microphone 11, this after expiration of a predefined duration or after actuation d '' an appropriate command at the level of means 6 to 10. 7 According to an additional characteristic of the invention, the desk 1 also includes a device for generating rhythmic pulses, for example in the form of a programmable up-down counter, linked to the generator of sound signals 12 for the emission of repetitive sound signals of limited duration and by means of display and visualization for the realization of a visual animation with alternating movements, said device for generating rhythmic pulses being able, moreover, to determine the scrolling speed at level of the means 5 for displaying and viewing data read on corresponding supports by the device (s) 3, 4 for reading / recording.
Enfin, selon une caractéristique supplémentaire de l'invention représentée sur la figure 1 des dessins annexés, le pupitre 1 peut également comporter un module d'interface 16 pourvu d'une pluralité de connecteurs 17 à usage bidirectionnel, notamment du type connu sous la dénomination MIDI, permettant de relier ledit pupitre 1 à au moins un autre pupitre 1 similaire et/ou à un ou plu¬ sieurs appareils périphériques, tels que notamment impri¬ mante, synthétiseur, scanner ou ananlogue, permettant no¬ tamment une copie, une édition ou une analyse instantanée des passages de partition annotés ou des interprétations musicales correspondantes.Finally, according to an additional characteristic of the invention shown in Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings, the console 1 may also include an interface module 16 provided with a plurality of connectors 17 for bidirectional use, in particular of the type known under the name MIDI, making it possible to connect said desk 1 to at least one other similar desk 1 and / or to one or more peripheral devices, such as in particular printer, synthesizer, scanner or ananlogue, allowing in particular a copy, an edition or an instant analysis of annotated score passages or corresponding musical interpretations.
Le fonctionnement du pupitre 1 interactif con¬ forme à l'invention sera à présent décrit, à titre d'exemples illustratifs , par l'intermédiaire de plusieurs cas pratiques d'utilisation. Dans un premier cas d'application, un élève pourra s'exercer seul à la pratique de son instrument en travaillant sur une partition donnée, visualisée progres¬ sivement par défilement continu rythmé sur l'écran 5, ce après avoir accordé son instrument. L'élève jouera une ligne ou une séquence donnée et pourra, une fois l'interprétation achevée, contrôler cette dernière en commandant au pupitre 1 interactif la restitution de la ligne ou de la séquence jouée, enregis¬ trée par l'intermédiaire du microphone 11.The operation of the interactive desk 1 in accordance with the invention will now be described, by way of illustrative examples, by means of several practical use cases. In a first application case, a pupil can practice alone in the practice of his instrument by working on a given score, viewed progressively by rhythmic continuous scrolling on the screen 5, this after having tuned his instrument. The student will play a given line or sequence and can, once the interpretation is completed, control the latter by commanding the interactive console 1 to restore the line or the sequence played, recorded via the microphone 11.
L'interprétation de l'élève pourra être compa- rée au passage de la partition originelle sur l'écran 5 par superposition des lignes mélodiques ou à l'interpré¬ tation juste du passage concerné produite par le généra¬ teur de signaux sonores 12 par comparaison auditive.The pupil's interpretation can be compared to the passage of the original score on screen 5 by superimposing the melodic lines or to the correct interpretation of the passage concerned produced by the sound generator 12 by auditory comparison.
L'exécution du passage étudié pourra être répé- tée jusqu'à ce que son interprétation par l'élève soit jugée correcte par le pupitre 1 interactif.The performance of the passage studied may be repeated until its interpretation by the student is judged correct by interactive desk 1.
Dans un second cas d'application, le pupitre 1 interactif selon l'invention pourra être mis en oeuvre dans le cadre d'une séance d'étude d'un élève avec son professeur de musique.In a second application case, the interactive desk 1 according to the invention may be implemented as part of a student's study session with his music teacher.
La partition de la méthode utilisée ou du con¬ cert étudié pourra défiler alors selon une vitesse impo¬ sée par le dispositif de génération de pulsations rythmi¬ ques . Simultanément, le professeur pourra, par exem¬ ple par l'intermédiaire du photostyle 9, apposer des in¬ dications relatives à l'exécution du passage affiché (doigtés, liaisons, articulations, respirations ou analo¬ gues), ces indications étant sauvegardées à la fin de chaque séquence ou extrait défini au préalable par l'in¬ termédiaire d'un dispositif de lecture/enregistrement 4 sur un support de données affecté spécifiquement à l'élè¬ ve considéré.The partition of the method used or of the con¬ cert studied can then scroll at a speed imposed by the device for generating rhythmic pulses. Simultaneously, the professor will be able, for example through photostyle 9, to affix indications relating to the execution of the passage displayed (fingerings, connections, joints, breaths or the like), these indications being saved at the end of each sequence or extract defined beforehand by means of a reading / recording device 4 on a data medium assigned specifically to the student under consideration.
Ce dernier pourra, s'il possède chez lui un pu- pitre 1 interactif similaire à celui équipant la classe de musique, travailler chez lui en profitant des indica¬ tions personnelles du professeur, tout en n'ayant à transporter qu'un support de données de faibles taille et poids . Dans un troisième cas d'applic tion, un chef d'orchestre possédant un pupitre 1 interactif selon l'in- vention, pourra, chez lui et préalablement à un concert donné, sauvegarder sur un support de données la partition qu'il aura à diriger, ensemble avec ses indications per¬ sonnelles . II pourra ensuite envoyer ce support de données aux musiciens de l'orchestre, équipés chacun d'un pupitre 1 interactif, qui pourront alors transférer sur leur pro¬ pre support de données la ou les partitions à interpréter et les indications du chef d'orchestre les concernant, qu'ils pourront étudier au moyen de leur pupitre 1 per¬ sonnel et mettre en oeuvre dès la première répétition.The latter will be able to work at home, if he has an interactive lectern 1 similar to that fitted to the music class, taking advantage of the teacher's personal information, while only having to carry a data of small size and weight. In a third application, a conductor with an interactive desk 1 according to the vention, may, at home and prior to a given concert, save on a data medium the score he will have to conduct, together with his personal information. He can then send this data medium to the musicians of the orchestra, each equipped with an interactive desk 1, who can then transfer the score (s) to be interpreted and the instructions of the conductor to their own data medium. concerning them, which they will be able to study by means of their personal desk 1 and implement from the first rehearsal.
Grâce à l'invention, il est possible de regrou¬ per dans un dispositif compact unique sous forme de pupi¬ tre, les différentes fonctions d'une pluralité d'acces- soires de musique traditionnels, ledit pupitre présen¬ tant, en outre, de nombreux avantages supplémentaires et étant d'une utilisation très commode et très flexible.Thanks to the invention, it is possible to regroup in a single compact device in the form of a pupi¬ tre, the different functions of a plurality of traditional music accessories, said desk also presenting, many additional advantages and being very convenient and flexible to use.
Le pupitre 1 interactif décrit ci-dessus dans le cadre du domaine de la musique, pourra bien évidemment être mis en oeuvre dans d'autres domaines, pour des ap¬ plications nécessitant une présentation de données aisé¬ ment accessible, tels que, par exemple, dans les musées.The interactive desk 1 described above in the field of music, can obviously be implemented in other areas, for applications requiring presentation of data that is easily accessible, such as, for example , in museums.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés aux dessins annexés. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments ou par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention. Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown in the accompanying drawings. Modifications remain possible, in particular from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without thereby departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
