FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic system configuration example of the first invention (conversion system), and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a case where illumination information accompanied by luminance fluctuation is converted into a sound pressure change and output as sound information. 1 shows a configuration example when applied to the system example shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 shows a circuit example when the configuration example shown in FIG. 2 is realized by an electronic circuit. FIG. 4 shows an example of a configuration in which sound information accompanying sound pressure fluctuation is converted into luminance change and output as illumination information to the example shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is a configuration shown in FIG. Circuit examples when the example is realized by an electronic circuit are shown.
[0015]
First, a schematic configuration example of the first invention (conversion system) will be described with reference to FIG. 1. Input means 11 for taking in natural world information having a healing effect including biological information as digitized input information, An information processing means 21 for performing a necessary processing for causing the input information taken in through the means 11 to have a required fluctuation, and converting the information to be processed processed through the information processing means 21 into an analog signal. The overall configuration is at least provided with at least an output unit 41 including a D / A conversion unit 42 and an output unit 43 for outputting as output information with fluctuation.
[0016]
Next, the system configuration example shown in FIG. 1 will be described in accordance with a specific example shown in FIG. 2 in which illumination information accompanied by luminance fluctuation is converted into a sound pressure change and output as sound information. For example, the input unit 13 obtains, as a moving image, illumination information 3 including flickering light 2 of a firefly 1 that repeats blinking under a predetermined light emission pattern, and a plurality of still images obtained by digitizing the obtained moving image. It is formed by an image pickup device 12 composed of a digital video camera, a CCD camera, or the like having an A / D conversion section 14 for taking in as input information.
[0017]
The imager 12 moves the individual fireflies 1 that repeat blinking as blinking light 2 having a predetermined light emission pattern, for example, when a firefly or a firefly fires independently, when a group flickers, or under a natural environment or an artificial breeding environment. Can be acquired as a moving image with a time resolution of 1/30 second under various conditions.
[0018]
The moving image thus obtained is digitized via a known moving image processing board including an A / D converter 14, and is sent to an information processing means 21 such as a personal computer (PC) at a sampling frequency of 30 Hz, for example. Thus, 1024 frames (34.2 seconds in time) are captured as input information consisting of digital still images per firefly.
[0019]
The information processing means 21 includes a data holding unit 22 composed of a RAM, a hard disk (HDD), and the like, a central processing unit (CPU) 23 that performs necessary arithmetic processing with the support of storage software, It is provided with at least an input operation unit 24 composed of a keyboard or the like and a display unit 25 composed of an LCD or the like, and illuminates a large number of digital still images acquired as digitized input information via the input means 11 with illumination information. 3 can be held.
[0020]
That is, each digital still image captured as input information by the information processing means 21 goes through a database construction process using a known image density displacement analysis system, and its time-series data is related to the luminance fluctuation of the light emission pattern. The database is constructed by being stored in the data holding unit 22 as the illumination information 3.
[0021]
In this case, in the database construction process, since the target firefly 1 is constantly moving, the time-series data is obtained by designating the analysis area with the cursor and tracking the maximum luminance of the luminous organ of the firefly 1 with time. It has gained. The time-series data is subjected to FFT analysis, and "1 / f ⁿ After calculating the power spectrum for evaluating "fluctuations" and the cross-correlation for biologically observing biological signals between males and females, a database consisting of illumination information as luminescence data will be constructed. .
[0022]
FIG. 6 is a graph of the illumination information 3 created based on the light emission pattern 2 as long-time data based on the time-series data in the database construction process. The time-series data subjected to the series processing is stored in the data holding unit as illumination information 3 as shown in FIG. 6, for example, which is created based on the light emission pattern of the blinking light 2 using an image density displacement amount analysis system. 22 so that a database for the illumination information 3 is constructed.
[0023]
In this case, the illumination information 3 includes a light emission pause section B which fluctuates with 1 / f fluctuation between each light emission section A of the firefly 1. ₁ ~ B ₅ By adding, the flickering light 2 can be given the same irregularity as the emission pattern of the fireflies 1 and the discomfort caused by the repeat reproduction can be eliminated, so that the natural flickering light can be reproduced for a long time.
[0024]
In addition, the information processing means 21 multiplies, for example, a basic waveform with a sound pressure fluctuation generated from the squeal 6 of the smoothing sound 5 in FIG. 7 by the illumination information 3 shown in FIG. The processed information 4 can be generated as the sound information 7 accompanied by the sound pressure fluctuation as shown.
[0025]
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a procedure for converting light (illumination information 3) into sound (sound information 7) at that time. First, in addition to selecting a scale, a sampling rate (frequency), and a basic waveform, A firefly luminance data file to be placed on the basic waveform is selected.
[0026]
The selection of the scale is performed by selecting a desired one such as "D #, D, D #, E, F, F #, G, G #, A, A #, H, C2, 0.5k, 1k, 5k, 10k". This is performed by selecting a desired appropriate one from music (scale) symbols.
[0027]
The sampling frequency is determined by selecting a desired frequency from among, for example, “6 kHz, 8 kHz, 11.25 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, and 48 kHz”.
[0028]
The basic waveform is obtained by selecting an appropriate waveform for which audio output is actually desired from, for example, “sine wave, rectangular wave, triangular wave, sawtooth wave, squeaky squeal”.
[0029]
The firefly luminance data file to be placed on the selected basic waveform is appropriately selected from the illumination information 3 which is light emission data already stored in the data holding unit 22 as a database.
[0030]
Thus, each of the scale, the sampling frequency, the basic waveform, and the firefly luminance data file is selected. After a DAT file based on these is created, the DAT file is converted into a WAV file, and the sound information is stored in the data holding unit 22. 7 is held.

And a loudspeaker 44 such as a speaker 45 capable of outputting sound.
[0032]
FIG. 3 illustrates an example of an electronic circuit configured to correspond to the system configuration example in which the illumination information 3 accompanied by the light emission fluctuation illustrated in FIG. 2 is converted into a sound pressure change and output as sound information 7.

In the example of FIG. 3, when a high-level output signal from the operational amplifier 26 is received by the terminal 1 of the IC chip 27, the switch is turned on, and the sound that has entered the terminal 13 of the IC chip 27 from the terminal 15 of the IC chip 29. Is output from the terminal 2 of the IC chip 27.
[0034]
Since the output means 41 is formed using a loudspeaker 44 such as a speaker 45 as in the example shown in FIG. 2, the output means 41 receives an output signal from the terminal 2 of the IC chip 27 and converts the sound information 7 after conversion. Can be produced. Specifically, a certain value determined in terms of a circuit when selecting the IC chips 27 and 29 is set as a threshold value. For example, the signal level of light derived from a firefly light emission pattern (illumination information 3) is set to the threshold value. When the value exceeds the value, the switching circuit 28 acts on the transmission circuit 30 to generate an audio signal as the sound information 7. If the light signal level does not exceed the threshold value, the switching circuit 28 does not operate.
[0035]
On the other hand, if the example of the system configuration shown in FIG. 1 is described in accordance with a specific example shown in FIG. 4 in which sound information is converted into illumination information and output, the input unit 11 converts the sound 6 of the smoothing 5 into, for example, FIG. It is formed using a sound collecting microphone 17 necessary to obtain the sound information 7 as shown. Instead of the sound collecting microphone 17, an audio signal may be taken in from an external output of a speaker.
[0036]
The squeal 6 of the smoothie 5 which is the natural world information acquired via the sound collecting microphone 17 is taken in as the digitized sound information 7 as input information on the information processing means 21 side such as a personal computer (PC).
[0037]
The information processing means 21 includes a data holding unit 22 composed of a RAM, a hard disk (HDD), and the like, a central processing unit (CPU) 23 that performs necessary arithmetic processing with the support of storage software, It is formed to include at least an input operation unit 24 composed of a keyboard and the like and a display unit 25 composed of an LCD and the like, and is stored as sound information 7 which is input information digitized and obtained via the input means 11. You can do it.
[0038]
For this reason, the sound information 7 taken in by the information processing means 21 undergoes a database construction process, so that the time-series data is accumulated in the data holding unit 22, and for example, as shown in FIG. A database in which the squeal 6 is sound information 7 is constructed.
[0039]
Moreover, the information processing means 21 synthesizes the sound information 7 by multiplying the basic waveform of the predetermined light with the luminance fluctuation generated from the blinking light 2 of the firefly 1 as shown in FIG. By doing so, the information to be processed 8 can be generated as the illumination information 3 accompanied by the luminance fluctuation.
[0040]
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a procedure for converting a sound (sound information 7 comprising the squeaky squeak 6) into a sound (illumination information 3) at that time. First, the sampling rate (frequency) and the WAV file of the sushi And are selected.
[0041]
The sampling frequency is determined by selecting an appropriate frequency from among frequencies such as "6 kHz, 8 kHz, 11.25 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz".
[0042]
After the WAV file is created by selecting the sampling rate and the smooth WAV file, a process of converting the WAV file into a text file is performed to create a text file, and the illumination information 3 is stored in the data holding unit 22. To be held.
[0043]
The output means 41 outputs the illumination information 3 which is generated as information to be processed by multiplying the sound information 7 by the information processing means 21 by the basic waveform obtained from the predetermined light as described above and held in the data holding unit 22. And a light emitting device 46 including a light emitting diode 47 capable of outputting light.
[0044]
FIG. 5 shows an example of an electronic circuit configured to correspond to a system configuration example in which the sound information shown in FIG. 4 is converted into light emission fluctuation and output as illumination information. The information processing means 21 includes an operational amplifier 31 for amplifying an input signal (sound) acquired through the sound collecting microphone 18, and an operational amplifier 31 connected to an output side of the amplifier 31 to output the signal. The light emitting device 46 (light emitting diode 47), which is the output means 41, is formed under a circuit configuration including at least an NPN transistor 31 capable of controlling flickering according to an input condition.
[0045]
In FIG. 5, when the NPN transistor 31 receives a high-level output signal from the operational amplifier 30, a voltage is applied and the light emitting diode 47 as the output means 41 emits light. Specifically, a certain value determined in terms of a circuit when selecting the NPN transistor 31 is set as a threshold value. For example, a signal level of a sound derived from a smoothing sound pattern (sound 7) exceeds the threshold value. In this case, the switching circuit acts on the transmission circuit to generate a voice signal as the illumination information 3. If the signal level of the sound does not exceed the threshold value, the switching circuit does not operate.
