The number of steps counted can be displayed. (3) The microcomputer single chip contains a control program that can preset a number and automatically decreases the number by 1 every time you take a step, and when the preset number decreases to 0, the I/O It may also include a device that energizes the sound generator via the circuit. (4) Microcomputer single chip is
It includes a control program used to output various different musical note signals from the I/O circuit, an off-chip amplifier circuit amplifies the output musical note signal, and a speaker amplifies the musical note signal input from the amplifier circuit. This converts the sound into a sound wave signal (music), thereby generating comfortable music while walking, which can entertain the mind and body of the person walking (or running). (5) A software control program is used to generate a variety of different beat sounds (e.g., drum beat sounds) from the I/O circuits, thereby causing the pedestrian's walking speed to reach a certain level. Sometimes the musical note signal output from the I/O circuit can be converted into a beat signal. (6) A software control program is used to count the time interval from one gait input signal to the next, and another control program utilizes this counted time interval to generate a predetermined music. Determining the tempo for the meter, or beat, so that the tempo for the meter, or beat, of a given piece of music can be adjusted to match the walking speed. (7) One or more multi-rotary switches may be used to select and determine the type of music or beat required during walking.

(7) 64-byte
RAM is characterized by having two register bands, each band having eight registers. Next, the electronic circuit of the electronic music/step counting shoe of the present invention will be explained. The chip SCP consists of a microcomputer single chip INTEL8021. Ports P ₀₀ to P ₀₇ , P ₁₀ to P ₁₇
and _P20 to _P23 are 20 built-in I/O circuits, and port _T1 is a test pin used as an input circuit. The display DP is a 6-digit display. The 7-segment data and decimal point are provided by ports P ₀₀ to P ₀₇ , and the illuminated digit scan data is provided by ports P ₁₀ to P _15.
is given by Port P ₁₆ is an output circuit, which plays beats or music when walking,
A cue call signal is generated when a predetermined number of steps is achieved. Ports P ₂₀ to P ₂₂ are input circuits,
Used to select between music or meter. Switch V is a three-stage selection switch. The selection switch DS is used to select the type of data required for display data on the display. When the switch DS is 1, the displayed data is the number of steps or walking speed. The storage switch MS stores the data placed on the display device DP in a predetermined memory. To preset the required number of steps, first the switch KS is pressed and the oscillator OSC is connected to port _T1 .
Input the rectangular wave input from the sensor SC to the sensor SC. At this time, the display DP displays the rectangular wave number input to port _T1 , so when the number on the display DP reaches a predetermined number, the switch KS is released and the switch MS is pressed, and the required number of steps is calculated. It is stored in a predetermined memory. The coupling switch M is a selection switch that sends the audio signal generated by the amplifier AMP directly to the speaker SP and transmits it wirelessly. When the arrangement is as shown in the figure, ie when switch S ₁ is on and switch S ₂ is off, the signal is sent to the speaker SP and the sound is generated directly from the speaker SP. When switch S ₁ is off and switch S ₂ is on, the signal is transmitted from the radio transmitter EM. The sensor SC indicated by a dotted line is a walking sensor. Switch KW is a detection switch provided on the sole of the shoe and is turned on once every time the user walks. switch
When KW is turned on, a positive potential is introduced to the leading edge to extract an instantaneous pulse wave via the differentiator circuit. This pulse wave energizes the transistor, after which the inverter generates an instantaneous positive potential. amplifier
The OP amplifies the potential and sends it to a filter circuit consisting of a capacitive reactance. As a result, a signal is provided to port _T1 via the trigger circuit. In this case, the signal obtained at port _T1 is extremely stable. Port _T1 is at high level when there is no signal and at low level when there is signal. FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the walking sensor SC of FIG. 1. The switch KW' is a walking sensor switch provided on the sole of the shoe, and the switch KW' is pressed every time the pedestrian walks to energize the magnet M.
NS is a coiled core. switch
When KW′ is pressed and magnet M is inserted into core NS,
Point e detects a small voltage which is then amplified and shaped to produce a "low" signal at the output. 3 and 4 are flowcharts of the software program of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a main flowchart, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart of an "interrupt service routine" when an interrupt is caused by a timer. First, the various memories and tables used in the flowchart will be described below before discussing FIG. Memory-N consists of two or more registers and stores time interval data requiring a "high" signal output from the gait sensor SC. Memory- _M1 consists of two or more registers and serves as time interval data stored in memory-N during which the "high" signal from the gait sensor SC is extinguished. That is, the memory _M1 functions as time interval data for the time period from the disappearance of the "low" rectangular wave from the walking sensor SC until the generation of the next rectangular wave. Memory _M2 is a register that stores address data regarding the starting address of a music table or audio table. Memory _M3 is 2
It consists of the above registers, and after counting the number of rectangular waves supplied by the walking sensor SC, stores the counting result data. The memory _M4 consists of two or more registers and stores in advance data regarding the required number of steps. The memory _M5 is a register that stores starting data regarding the content of the time each time it starts counting the time. The purpose of this function is to ensure that the time _interval from one timer interrupt to the next interrupt is
can be freely controlled by memory
_M6 consists of two or more registers, is a note and meter memory, and is used to determine how many square waves can be transferred to the port.
Remember the data about what should be given from P ₁₆ . The memory _M7 is a register which, after checking a certain music or audio frequency by the music or audio table, stores an address regarding data of that frequency. Memory _M8 is a register that checks and then stores the number of data contained in a certain music or audio table. In music or audio charts, each built-in data is musical note or audio frequency data. Bits 0 to 2 are the note part (i.e. 1, 2,...7 and rests), bits 3 and 4 are the scale part (i.e. bass, alto, soprano, etc.), and bits 5 to 7 are the meter part. (i.e. 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1,
2, 3 and 4 beats). From the above, except for the three music tables (three different song tables) and the three phonetic tables (three different time signature tables),
Separate note charts and music meter charts (including bass, alto and soprano) are required. Details of each table are explained below. (1) Notebook. The starting address is indicated by MT.

[Table] 〓

[Table] 〓〓〓 〓〓〓
Scale Note The data you checked earlier is the frequency data of the note (LFi is the low frequency, Fi is the intermediate frequency,
HFi is a high frequency), this data is transferred to the contents of a timer that determines how much time is required for each interruption that occurs, and then the frequency of the sound wave input from port _P16 is selected to form a certain note. (2) Music meter table. The starting address is indicated by NT. MT: ×××××000 (1/16 time signature) → P ₀ ×××××001 (1/8 time signature) → P ₁ ×××××010 (1/4 time signature) → P ₂ ××× ××011 (1/2 time signature) → P ₃ ×××××100 (1 time signature) → P ₄ ×××××101 (2 time signature) → P ₅ ×××××110 (3 time signature) → P ₆ ×××××111 (4 beats) → P ₇ The data checked before is the music rectangular wave number input from port P ₁₆ , and this number is definitely
When it exceeds 255, it is stored in 2 bytes. The memory _M9 stores the frequency data obtained immediately after checking the musical note table, and the memory _M6 stores the data regarding the square wave number obtained immediately after checking the music meter table. (As mentioned above, the memory M ₆ is composed of two or more registers.) The register M ₁₀ is a memory used to store address data of the musical notation table (including the scale part). The register RX functions as a mark (flag) that records whether the walking signal read by the sensor at that time has been read or not. This mark is 1 for yes and 0 for no. Next, FIG. 3 will be explained. Program block 1 reads the signal provided by the gait sensor SC if a signal entering block 2 or block 6 is present. Block 6 determines whether the signal from the gait sensor SC to be read has been processed. Block 3 stores the data in memory N into memory _M1 . As mentioned above, the memory N counts data for time intervals during which the gait sensor SC has no signal. Block 4 clears the memory N to O and sets the register RX to 1 in order to avoid repeatedly processing the same signal input from the walking sensor SC. Block 5 counts the "low" square wave numbers provided by the gait sensor SC. Blocks 6 and 7
operates during periods when the gait sensor SC has no signal, except when clearing the register RX to O. If register RX is cleared, blocks 6 and 7 can process the subsequently generated signals and count the time intervals between this period. However, when the contents of the memory N count more than a certain value E (ie when the wearer takes off his shoes or the pedestrian stops walking), blocks 6 and 7 no longer count. The task of blocks 8 and 9 is to store the contents of memory _M3 in memory _M4 when switch MS is on. The task of blocks 24 to 28 is to generate a remaining call signal from port _P16 when the number of steps has reached a preset number of steps (M ₄ ). Blocks 10 to 12
The work of the display is to display the number of steps walked when the switch DS is on, and to display the number of steps per unit time when the switch DS is off. Block 13 takes the value Y as a reference to count the time interval between cycles in which the walking sensor SC does not detect a signal, and if it is greater than Y (that is, the walking speed is less than a certain value), blocks 19 to 23 are executed. If Y is less than or equal to Y, then the operations in blocks 14 to 18 are processed. Blocks 19, 20 and 14, 15 are used to ascertain the position of the multi-stage rotary switch V (FIG. 1) and to select the required musical table or metrical table. X ₁ , X ₂ and X ₃ each mean the start address of three different music tables, R ₁ , R ₂ and R ₃ each mean the data numbers included in these three tables, Y ₁ , Y ₂ and Y ₃ respectively mean the starting addresses of three different metrical consonant tables, and
S ₁ , S ₂ and S ₃ respectively mean data numbers included in these three tables. When the walking speed is less than a certain value, storing the starting address of a music table in the memory _M2 and its contained data number in the memory _M8 (as shown in blocks 21 to 23). is controlled by the position of the multi-stage rotary switch, but if the walking speed is greater than a certain value, the start address of a certain metrical table and the data number it contains are stored as shown in blocks 16 to 18. . In block 29, A has two tasks. 1
One is that the contents of memory N are applied to obtain the value of K, and this value of K is an element that determines the tempo of music, that is, the beat. It is applied to obtain the walking speed per unit time. The meaning of blocks 30-32 is to interrupt the timer to disable the music or beat function when the shoe is no longer worn. Furthermore, the purpose of block 31 is to cause the timer to generate a first interrupt when the contents of memory N are less than _Z , since the shoes are being worn for walking. restart from the starting point. Block 33 causes the timer to interrupt and play music or beats when the contents of memory N are less than E (ie, the time to start walking). “TIMER INTERRUPT SERVICE ROUTINE” in Figure 4.
ROUTINE), the interrupt is applied to make port _P16 alternately 1 or 0, and the time and number of times set to generate the interrupt change the output frequency of port _P16 . Applied to control and obtain musical effects. This is explained as follows. Block 1 of FIG. 4 is the flow route used to determine whether it should operate from a starting point. Block 2 stores memory M ₇ as M ₇ = 0.
(i.e., the starting point). Block 9
is the start address of a certain music table and the memory at this time
Add the contents of _M7 , that is, the address of a certain note data in the music table, and calculate the sum by accumulator A.
memorize it internally. Block 10 is accumulator A
The contents of the specified address memory in A are retrieved and stored in A. Therefore, the data in A is the note data at this time. Here, the data of the note part including the scale and the data of the music meter part are separated and stored in the memory _M10 and the data of the music meter part, respectively.
Temporarily stored in _M11 . Blocks 13 to 18 check the note table and the music meter table and store the checked results in memory _M6 and memory _M9 , respectively. The task of block 19 is to add one to the contents of memory _M9 , so that the next data in the music table or meter table is obtained when the next table is checked. Block 2
0 checks whether the content of memory _M7 is greater than the data number contained in the table, and if so, it clears memory _M7 to 0 again and the next music or beat signal is repeated. Generated cyclically. The task of block 22 is to multiply the contents of memory _M9 by the value K obtained by the operation of block 29 shown in FIG. 3, so that the time interval for determining the occurrence of an interrupt can be adjusted. This allows the actual walking speed to control the tempo or beat of the music. The task of block 23 is to transfer the contents of memory _M9 to the timer. The task of blocks 3 and 4 is to determine whether the number of square waves provided by port _P16 is complete. If completed, block 9 or block 5 is entered. The task of block 5 is to determine whether the note is a rest. If it is a rest (as shown in block 6), the port
P ₁₆ is set to 0, and if it is not a rest, port P ₁₆ is set to 0 and 1 alternately as shown in block 7. The task of block 8 is to restore the program to the address of the main program when the service is completed. 5 and 6 show the overall arrangement of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the entire device is housed within the main body 30, and the switch KW or KW'(KW' is taken in this example) is housed within the heel 31; Main body 30
is connected to two conductive wires 32 and 33. key 3
