Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fireworks control system for creating, confirming, and igniting a fireworks project effect synchronized with music using a computer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the case of fireworks firing and ignition, in particular, when music and fireworks are launched in synchronization with each other, a computer-controlled technique is used. In this case, to synchronize the actual fireworks, that is, the phenomena of the fireworks after they are fired from the launch tube, with the music, it is necessary for the fireworks maker to design the fireworks with the imagination in his head like a music image. General.

[0003]

As described above, in the technique of determining the actual fireworks phenomenon and music after the fireworks are imagined in the head while listening to music and fired from the launch tube, as described above, The fireworks maker decides only the ignition timing, and the actual fireworks and the music are matched only in the creator's mind, and the effect of the fireworks production can be checked by other people (for example, fireworks customers, etc.). There was a problem that it was not possible to show, and it was also difficult to obtain an exact match between the fireworks and the music. The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fireworks control system capable of performing fireworks planning effects, confirmation, and ignition work as one part.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a computer which incorporates video editing software capable of editing a video of a fireworks and music synchronized with the video.
A speaker for playing music through the output signal of the computer, for example, via a CD drive or directly; a controller for outputting a signal at intervals set by the output signal of the computer; And current distribution means for supplying

[0005] Therefore, in the present invention, a moving picture and music of fireworks are edited by moving picture editing software of a computer (which may be a conventionally known one), thereby synchronizing the moving picture and music of the fireworks with a VTR or the like. Is prepared, the fireworks maker can produce the fireworks while checking it by himself, can show it to others such as fireworks customers, and can easily incorporate the wishes of the customers. In addition, by controlling the type and ignition interval of the fireworks ball by the computer and the controller, it is possible to launch the fireworks exactly in synchronization with the music as set in the moving image editing.

Further, in the present invention, the music may be sent directly from the computer 1 to the amplifier 5 via a controller and converted into an analog signal.
The speaker may be sounded by operating an audio device such as a drive. Thus, not only CDs but also ordinary music tapes and music players can be used. Also, by recording the digitized music for each frequency or musical instrument in a recording / reproducing device that digitizes the music and recording / reproducing it, a specific frequency is output and adjusted to the ignition timing, so that the fireworks can be output only with the frequency output. Music can be synchronized to

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a fireworks control system of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a computer, which includes a display unit 1a and an audio output unit 1b.

In FIG. 2, a controller 2 is connected to the computer 1 and a relay 3 is connected to the controller 2.
Are connected to each relay 3, and a large number (only one is shown in the figure) of ignition balls 4 for firing smoke is connected. Reference numeral 7 denotes a power supply such as a battery that supplies a current to the ignition ball 4.
The computer 1 is provided with an audio device such as a CD drive, and a signal from the audio device is output from a speaker 6 via a music amplifier 5.

The computer 1 has the following functions. (B) Video editing software is installed. (B) A fireworks launch interval is set, and signals are generated at the set intervals. (C) The analog information of music is digitized and recorded and reproduced.

Using the above function (a), a confirmation work for matching the moving picture of the fireworks with the music is performed, and a work of recording on the VTR and guiding the customer is performed. That is,
The work performed by the firework maker only in the head is performed while watching the screen of the display unit 1a of the computer 1 and listening to the music output from the audio output unit 1b. In addition, customers can look at the screen and listen to music while incorporating their wishes.

Next, using the functions (b) and (c), the control of the fireworks launch is performed by the configuration shown in FIG. That is, a fireworks launch interval is set in the computer 1, a signal is output from the computer 1 to the controller 2, the relay 2 is operated by the controller 2 at the set interval, and a current is supplied to a predetermined ignition ball 4 to ignite. . A music signal synchronized with the music signal is sent to the amplifier 5, and music is played from the speaker 6.

The music may be sent directly from the computer 1 to the amplifier 5 by converting the signal into an analog signal.
A controller or the like may operate a music player such as a music tape or a CD, and output to an amplifier or a speaker. In this case, normal music software such as a music tape or a CD can be used. Alternatively, using a recording / reproducing device that digitizes analog information of music and records / reproduces it, records the digitized music by frequency or by instrument, and outputs a specific frequency to match the ignition timing. It is also possible. As described above, the actual fireworks are launched as edited by the computer 1 in advance, and music synchronized with the actual fireworks can be played.

[0013]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, video and music of fireworks are edited by video editing software of a computer, thereby creating a VTR or the like in which the video and music of fireworks are synchronized. If this is done, the fireworks maker can produce the fireworks while confirming the fireworks themselves, show it to others such as fireworks customers, and easily incorporate the wishes of the customers. In addition, by controlling the type and the ignition interval of the fireworks ignition ball by the computer and the controller, it is possible to launch the fireworks exactly in synchronization with the music as set in the moving image editing.
