La présente invention concerne un appareil automatique, à payement par pièces de monnaie ou autre support monétaire, délivrant un enregistrement musical d'après l'image de personnes ou d'objets et pouvant aussi effectuer des photographies automatiques. The present invention relates to an automatic device, with payment by coins or other monetary support, delivering a musical recording according to the image of people or objects and which can also take automatic photographs.
Les méthodes pour convertir une image en son et de graver ce son sur un support enrégistrable sont connues mais leur mise en oeuvre demande un matériel et des connaissances informatiques et n'est pas à la disposition du grand public. The methods for converting an image into sound and for engraving this sound on a recordable medium are known, but their implementation requires computer hardware and knowledge and is not available to the general public.
L'appareil selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique, un-ou plusieurs-dispositifs numériques d'acquisition d'images, un microphone (optionnel), un moniteur (optionnel) un calculateur pré-programmé, un graveur avec reserve de supports enregistrables, une imprimante (optionnelle) et un dispositif déclencheur à pièces de monnaie ou autre support monétaire. Les termes dispositif numérique d'acquisition d'images, calculateur, graveur avec réserve de supports enrégistrables, imprimante, microphone, dispositif déclencheur à 'pièces de monnaie ou autre support monétaire, désignent des produits du commerce. The apparatus according to the invention overcomes this drawback. According to a first characteristic, it in fact comprises one or more digital image acquisition devices, a microphone (optional), a monitor (optional), a pre-programmed calculator, an engraver with a reserve of recordable media, a printer. (optional) and a trigger device for coins or other monetary support. The terms digital image acquisition device, calculator, engraver with a reserve of recordable supports, printer, microphone, trigger device for coins or other monetary support designate commercial products.
Le fonctionnement de l'appareil est déclenché par l'introduction du moyen monétaire de payement. Le fonctionnement commence par la création de l'image numérique par le-ou les- 'dispositifs numériques d'acquisition d'images. Les données numériques sont envoyées au calculateur. Selon une variante nonlimitative, les données numériques de l'image sont converties par le calculateur en données numériques de son d'après le schéma suivant : Pixel Son de durée t rouge intensité de la fréquence fl vert intensité de la fréquence f2 bleu intensité de la fréquence f3 La conversion de l'image en son peut etre répétée, eventuellement
. avec d'autres attrbutions de fréquence et intensitésjusqu'à e a l'obtention d'un fichier son de la durée voulue. Au fichier son ainsi obtenu peut s'ajouter le fichier obtenu par la voix de l'utilisateur. Le The operation of the device is triggered by the introduction of the monetary means of payment. Operation begins with the creation of the digital image by the digital image acquisition device (s). The digital data is sent to the computer. According to a nonlimiting variant, the digital image data are converted by the computer into digital sound data according to the following diagram: Pixel Sound of duration t red intensity of the frequency fl green intensity of the frequency f2 blue intensity of the frequency f3 The conversion of the image into sound can be repeated, possibly
. with other frequency and intensity attrbutions until obtaining a sound file of the desired duration. To the sound file thus obtained can be added the file obtained by the voice of the user. The
<Desc/Clms Page number 2> <Desc / Clms Page number 2>
fichier son est ensuite converti dans un format rcconmi par le graveur, par exemple. wav ou. mp3 et envoyé au graveur qui grave le disque compact au format cd ou. mp3. Une procédure similaire, en remplaçant les fréquences par des commandes midi, pourra générer un fichier au format. mid. Le disque compact crée est ensuite éjecté.
sound file is then converted to rcconmi format by the recorder, for example. wav or. mp3 and sent to the recorder who burns the compact disc in cd or. mp3. A similar procedure, replacing the frequencies with midi commands, can generate a file in format. mid. The compact disc created is then ejected.
Selon les modes particuliers de réalisation - l'appareil peut constituer une unité servant uniquement à la gravure de disques compacts d'après des images et la voix de 1'utilisateur.
According to the particular embodiments - the apparatus can constitute a unit used only for burning compact discs from images and the voice of the user.
- lorsqu'il comporte une imprimante, effectue la gravure de son et la photographie automatique, les fonctionnalités des composants sont alors utilisés pour la gravure de disques compacts et pour la photographie. - when it includes a printer, performs sound engraving and automatic photography, the functionalities of the components are then used for burning compact discs and for photography.
Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention. Dans la forme de réalisation selon la figure 1, 1'appareil sert uniqument à la production automatique d'un enregistrement musical d'après une image et éventuellement des sons enregistrés avec le microphone. Dans une autre version de cette forme de réalisation, non représentée sur la figure, plusieurs appareils de prises de vue numériques, entourant la personne ou l'objet, sont utilisés pour obtenir une image en 3 dimensions. La figure 2 représente un schéma d'une forme de réalisation de l'appareil lorsqu'il peut servir aussi à la photographie automatique. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention. In the embodiment according to Figure 1, the apparatus is used only for the automatic production of a musical recording from an image and possibly sounds recorded with the microphone. In another version of this embodiment, not shown in the figure, several digital cameras, surrounding the person or object, are used to obtain a 3-dimensional image. FIG. 2 represents a diagram of an embodiment of the apparatus when it can also be used for automatic photography.
En référence à ces dessins, dans la forme de réalisation représentée sur la figure 1 l'appareil comporte plusieurs composants, indiqués en pointillé, inclus dans un boitier (1), dont les faces comportent des orifices qui font apparaitre l'accès vers certains composants ; le dispositif de prises de vue numériques
(2) l'orifice (6) qui mène au scanneur (5) ; le microphone (3), le moniteur (10) ; les orifices (8) et (9) qui mènent au dispositif (7) de déclenchement automatique par pièces de monnaie ou autre support monétaire ; le graveur à reserve de supports enrégistrables (11) qui délivres les disques enregistrés par l'orifice (12) et le calculateur (4) 'qui est relié aux composants (2), (3), (5), (7), (10), (11) et est pourvu d'un programme qui régit le fonctionnement de tous les composants ; la prise (13) assure l'alimentation électrique de l'appareil.
