Description

{DEVICE FOR MATCHING RHYTHM}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a device for aligning a beat, and more particularly, to a device for aligning a beat using a user's foot motion to align the beat with sound and vibration to transmit the beat to the user.

The Metronome was invented by Vinkel in the Netherlands in 1812, and in 1816 it was patented by German Meltzer. The application of the principle of the watch is that there is a weight at the lower end of the pendulum of about 15 cm, and the oscillation period adjusts the weight up and down on the upper side, and oscillates the rocking with the manual winding device. The wiggling makes a ticking sound, engrave the beats, and rings the bell to announce the beat. Beethoven and Cherny were the first to use this to rate the composition. On the other hand, there is a metronome by an electric oscillator. It is an essential machine for piano practice.

Such a metronome, which is a mechanism for adjusting the timing of a musical instrument, has a disadvantage in that when the musical tone is transmitted by the sound and the visual, the sound is buried or the eyes are fixed to the instrument and played.

On the other hand, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 20-2014-0000384 is an example of a conventional technique relating to an apparatus for electronically matching a beat.

In this patent document, "a speaker incorporating the metronome function of the present invention has a metronome signal output from a clock generating unit, a tempo adjusting unit, a beat setting unit, a tempo display unit, a beat display unit, a control unit, An output section periodically reproducing a specific sound source in accordance with the output of the metronome signal, and a mode selecting section capable of selecting a metronome mode and a general speaker mode.

However, in the conventional electronic metronome technology such as the patent literature, although a complicated metronome configuration is used, it is possible to communicate with each other organically by means of a simple mechanical configuration, There has been a constant demand for development of an apparatus that can fix the inconvenience of fixing the instrument to the instrument and playing it.

Furthermore, with the same instrumental configuration, there is currently no technique for the player to automatically beat the player himself, as well as to automatically provide the player with the beat.
