Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an exhibit in which sound and light work together.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are Karakuri clocks and the like as exhibits exhibiting sound and visual movements linked together. In this Karakuri clock, a sound is produced from a sound source such as a magnetic tape or music box, and the movements are stored in a sequencer program. It's done by action.

[0003]

However, in the exhibits such as the above-mentioned Karakuri clock, although the sound and the motion are interlocked, the interlocking is such that the start and the end are the same. , It wasn't particularly related to sound and movement. Therefore, the audience was not made aware of the sound and the motion, and as a result, the audience could not be strongly attracted.

Further, since the demonstration by sound and motion is started at a preset time, it is performed regardless of the number of spectators, and the person who passes by in the vicinity of the exhibit is suddenly demonstrated by a sudden demonstration. I did not insist on the existence of.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides an exhibit in which sound and a visual action are closely linked, and an exhibit in which the demonstration is irregularly started. With the goal.

[0006]

The present invention has been made in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, and an exhibit of the present invention performs an exhibit body and a visual operation provided in the exhibit body. A visual action unit, a sound producing unit provided in the display body or in the vicinity thereof for producing a sound, and a visual action unit corresponding to each sound is operated in association with each sound produced by the sound producing unit. And a control means.

The main body of the exhibit is not particularly limited, whether it is concrete or abstract, and can be formed in the shape of a musical instrument such as a saxophone or a piano. Further, it is not limited to one that exists alone, but may be a wall, a balustrade of a bridge, or the like.

The visual motion unit is a motion that can be visually sensed, and includes, for example, spatial movement of an object, blinking of light, or change of light quantity or hue.

The sounding means is for sounding around the main body of the exhibit, and is a tape, a compact disc, or a voice RO.
Use M as a sound source.

The control means operates the visual operation section corresponding to each sound in association with each sound produced by the sounding means. For example, a sequencer is used as the control means. The correspondence between the sound and the visual action part is one-to-one correspondence between the sound and the visual action part, for example, when using a music composed of eight sounds, eight visual action parts are provided and one to one. Correspondence of multiple visual action parts for one sound
For example, when using a song consisting of 8 sounds, 60 visual action parts are provided, 5 visual action parts are associated with a certain sound, and 7 visual action parts are associated with another sound. You may make it correspond to a part. That is, the former is 60 in 8 scales.
In the case of using a musical piece composed of sounds, the eight visual action parts are operated a plurality of times, but in the latter, the 60 visual action parts are operated only once.

Another object of the present invention is to exhibit a main body of an exhibit, an operation unit provided in or near the main body of the exhibit for performing a visual action or an auditory action, and moving near the exhibit. It is configured to have a moving body detecting means for detecting a moving body to be operated, and an operation starting means for operating the operation unit when the number of moving bodies detected by the moving body detecting means reaches a predetermined number. The main body of the exhibit is as described above.

The operation unit performs a visual operation or an auditory operation, and the visual operation is as described above. The auditory operation causes a musical composition, a bark of a bird, a sound of waves, etc. to be emitted.

As the moving body detecting means, a reflection type optical sensor, an ultrasonic sensor or the like is used. Examples of moving objects that can be detected include people and cars.

[0014]

In the exhibit of the present invention, the sounding means generates a sound, and the control means operates the visual operation unit in synchronization with each sound of the sounded sound.

Further, in another exhibit of the present invention, the moving body detecting means detects the moving body moving around the main body of the exhibit, and the operation starting means uses the detection signal from the moving body detecting means to move the moving body. When the detected number reaches a predetermined number, the operation unit is operated.
