In this way, by moving the obstacles back and forth, it is possible to effectively promote the elderly users to exercise their upper limbs, and at the same time, they can enjoy the music they made, so that users who do not understand music can also interact like a toy. In the device, enjoy the fun of playing music or simply playing with touchable music interactive devices, so as to enhance the life, psychology, social and leisure benefits of senior users.

In order to enable those skilled in the art to clearly understand the content of the present invention, please refer to the following descriptions and drawings.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, which are perspective views and block diagrams of the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the music interactive device 1 of the present invention includes a detector 11 , a plurality of obstacles 12 , a processor 13 and a player 14 .

The detector 11 can be rotated in place or the reciprocating action of a circular path, and when the detector 11 is reciprocated in a circular path, the circular path of the detector 11 can be an ellipse The path of the shape provides a different implementation mode from the in-situ rotation, and the detector 11 can detect the distance of the obstacles 12 by using infrared rays or ultrasonic waves. The obstacles 12 are movably arranged on the side of the detector 11 , and the processor 13 is electrically connected to the detector 11 and stores a scale database 131 . The distance between the detector 11 and the obstacles 12 is defined as a plurality of scale information, wherein, when the detector 11 detects that the distance from the obstacles 12 is infinite (detection When the distance is less than the obstacle), the scale information corresponding to the distance in the scale database 131 is Do in the key of C major, and the scale information can also be modified by the user on the processor 13, not This is the limit. The player 14 is electrically connected to the processor 13 .

In use, the user can place the obstacles 12 around the detector 11, and turn on the processor 13 and the detector 11, so that the detector 11 will start to rotate in place or The reciprocating action of the circular path, and the distance between the obstacles 12 and the obstacles 12 is detected at any time and returned to the processor 13 , and the processor 13 reads the scale information corresponding to the scale database 131 accordingly. Then, it is transmitted to the player 14 to play music, and while the detector 11 is rotating in place or reciprocating the circular path, the user can also move the obstacles 12 at any time. The music played by the player 14 will also change accordingly, so that the user can feel that they can create their own music by changing the positions of the obstacles 12 .

In this embodiment, the present invention may further include a shape sensing module 111 , which is arranged on the detector 11 and is used for detecting the distance between the detector 11 and the obstacles 12 . When the distance is detected, the shapes of the obstacles 12 are detected synchronously, and a signal is transmitted to the processor 13 , so that the processor 13 changes the scale information to be transmitted to the player 14 according to the detected shapes. The shape sensing module 111 affects the music played by the player 14 by when the shape of the obstacle 12 detected by the shape sensing module 111 is a regular shape, the processor 13 according to the detector 11 and the distances between the obstacles 12, and transmit the corresponding scale information to the player 14 for playback. If the shape of the obstacle 12 detected by the shape sensing module 111 is irregular, a signal is transmitted to the processor 13 so that the processor 13 transmits the corresponding scale information according to the distance, At the same time, a scale-up information is sent to the player 14, and the player 14 is then driven to play the sound represented by the scale information after the half-scale scale. Moreover, the shapes of the obstacles 12 are basically one of a rectangular block, a triangular block, a cylindrical block, or a combination thereof, that is, the user can freely stack the obstacles 12 in one place, so that the The obstacles 12 are no longer regular, but form irregular shapes. In this way, the shape sensing module 111 can detect the irregularly shaped obstacles 12 , so that the music played by the player 14 has more different changes, thereby showing the present invention in music interaction. Variety and fun.

In addition, the present invention can also be provided with a time control module 132 in the processor 13, which is used to control the time required for the detector 11 to rotate once on the spot or to reciprocate the circular path once, so that The rhythm of the music can be affected by time control, so that the user has more variables to adjust the music he wants, which improves the user's enjoyment of using the present invention, and makes it easier for the user to feel bored with the present invention. .

Please continue to refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , which are a perspective view and a schematic side view of the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, compared with the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the detector 11 is placed on a placing plane 151 of a platform 15 when it is rotated in situ, and the platform 15 is placed by the placing plane 15 . The plane 151, a base 17 and a plurality of pillars 16 are formed, two ends of the pillars 16 are respectively supported on one side of the placing plane 151 and one side of the base 17, and the detector is attached to the placing plane 151 The position of 11 is the center of the circle, and there are plural concentric circle lines 152 equidistant from each other, and the obstacles 12 are movably placed at any position on the concentric circle lines 152, and the processor 13 accommodates between the placement plane 151 and the base 17 .

In addition, spaces of different sizes or shapes may also be provided on the concentric circle lines 152 set on the placement plane 151, and corresponding scales will be marked beside them, so that the user can place the obstacles 12 according to the size or shape. After entering the space on the concentric circle line 152, the user will find that the player 14 will play the scale marked next to the space, so that the user can quickly become familiar with the use of the present invention, and it is easier to obtain from it. pleasure.
