Hereinafter, the principle and structure of the acceleration sensor will be briefly described with reference to FIG. 4.

An acceleration sensor is a device for detecting a change in speed per unit time. In the past, a mechanical sensor is used, but now, a product using a semiconductor type is mainstream.

The figure shown in (a) of FIG. 4 is to show the principle of the acceleration sensor, which is composed of proof mass, spring and damper, and acceleration can be obtained from the equation shown from the change of position of proof mass according to the acceleration. . The mechanical acceleration sensor can only obtain a small acceleration range, which is not suitable for portable electronic devices.

To this end, a semiconductor acceleration sensor that can be manufactured in a small size is shown in (b). The acceleration sensor shown in (b) outputs the magnitude of the acceleration applied to the object. The acceleration sensor is divided by the number of axes into one axis, two axes, and three axes, and the three-axis acceleration range is detectable in three axes. The sensor may detect an object's movement from an inclination angle of the object and acceleration in each direction based on gravity acceleration.

In the present exemplary embodiment, the sensor unit 200 includes a plurality of

acceleration sensors

202 and 204 disposed on the substrate 30, and a combination of the plurality of

acceleration sensors

202 and 204 allows a user to carry out the body ( 10) can recognize the action applied to. Here, reference numeral 202 is referred to as a first acceleration sensor (hereinafter referred to as "first sensor"), and reference numeral 204 is referred to as a second acceleration sensor (hereinafter referred to as "second sensor").

5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation process of the rooting tool according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the control unit 90 determines whether the cheering tool 100 is in an operable state (S10), checking the sound source stored in the storage unit 60 (S20), and disposed in the body 10. Displaying the operation state of the rooting tool on the display unit 110 (S30), determining whether the data sensed by the

sensors

202 or 204 is greater than or equal to a set value A (S40), and the sensor 202 Determining whether the data sensed at 204 is maintained for more than a predetermined time (S50); reproducing the sound source when the sensed data is equal to or greater than a predetermined value A and is maintained for a predetermined time (S60); According to the sound source comprises a step (S70) of lighting the LED disposed on the body (10).

The step S10 is a step of determining whether the control unit 90 is normally operable after the rooting tool 100 is turned on and turned on, and whether the power is properly maintained, the

sensors

202 and 204. Check if it works normally.

In the step S20, the control unit 90 checks the sound source stored in the storage unit 60. When the user selects the sound source by operating the sound source selection unit 120, the control unit 90 stores the storage unit ( Play back at least one of the sound sources stored in (60). In this case, when the user selects a plurality of sound sources, the controller 90 reproduces the plurality of selected sound sources sequentially or randomly.

The step S30 is a step of displaying the operating state of the rooting tool 100, and displays the message or the volume of the sound source selected during the normal operation, as well as displaying the error message during normal operation.

The step S40 is a step for detecting a state in which the user shakes the rooting tool 100, and checks whether the data sensed by the

sensors

202 and 204 is larger than the set value A. That is, when the data sensed by the

sensors

202 and 204 is larger than the set value A, it is determined that the user is taking an action with the rooting tool 100 for rooting, and the

sensors

202 and 204 may indicate that the user The acceleration is detected by the manipulated action.

Here, the set value A takes an absolute value and compares the set value with the set value after removing the directionality applied to the rooting tool 100.

In particular, the data sensed by the

sensors

202 and 204 may be sensed by at least one of the

sensors

202 and 204.

Next, the step S50 is to prevent the cheering tool 100 from being operated by a temporary shock, and operates the cheering tool 100 only when the controller 90 continuously detects the data for a predetermined time. By doing so to prevent the rooting tool 100 is operated in case it is not intended, such as when placing or rolling on the floor.

Here, the step S50 may include both sensing the data above the setting value A when the data is periodically detected within a predetermined time or continuously detecting the data above the setting value A within the predetermined time.

Next, the step S60 is a step of reproducing the selected sound source, if it is determined that it is appropriate in both step S40 and step S50.

In the step S70, the control unit 90 visually utilizes the rooting tool 100 by operating the light source generator 50 according to a predetermined pattern according to the selected sound source. That is, for example, when the selected sound source is music, the LED of the light source generator 50 is turned on according to the beat of the music.

Figure 6 is a flow chart illustrating a volume control and light source control method of the rooting tool according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, when the rooting tool 100 is in normal operation, the action of the rooting tool 100 is determined using the difference in data detected by the first and

second sensors

202 and 204.

Therefore, it is determined whether a difference between each data value sensed by the first and

second sensors

202 and 204 is formed between B and C (S100), and the difference between the data values is the set values B and C. If it is formed between the step of determining that the rooting tool 100 is the pivoting movement (S110), and after determining the pivoting movement and adjusting at least one of the volume or light source corresponding to the pivoting movement (S120) ) And determining whether a difference between the data values sensed by the first and

second sensors

202 and 204 is greater than C (S130), and in the first and

second sensors

202 and 204, If the difference between the sensed data value is greater than C, it is determined that the impact amount is transmitted to the rhythm action (S140), and adjusting at least one of the volume or the light source corresponding to the rhythm action (S150). .

Here, the step S100 is for determining whether the cheering tool 100 operated by the user is being pivoted, and the difference between the respective data values detected by the first and

second sensors

202 and 204 is a set value. It is determined whether it is arranged between C.

That is, when the body 10 is pivoted, a sensor disposed radially outward among the first and

second sensors

202 and 204 respectively disposed on both sides of the body 10 detects a larger acceleration value. And the sensor disposed inside creates an acceleration value smaller than that of the outer sensor.

Here, the rotational motion may be determined by taking an absolute value from the difference between the data values sensed by the first and

second sensors

202 and 204 and comparing the result with the B and C. (S110)

B and C are experimental values generated during the pivoting motion of the body 10.

In addition, when the movement of the body 10 is determined as the turning movement, the volume corresponding to the turning movement may be adjusted or the light source may be adjusted.

Here, a difference between the data values sensed by the first and

second sensors

202 and 204 is formed between B and C. When the value is close to B, the volume is adjusted to generate a small volume and the value is set to C. If it is close, adjust the volume to produce a loud volume.

That is, the closer to the set value B, the smaller the difference in acceleration detected by the first and

second sensors

202 and 204, which means that the user operates the rooting tool 100 in a uniform action. In this case, it is controlled by increasing the lighting interval of the light source generating unit 50 to be turned on or reducing the reproduction sound of the sound source.

In addition, the closer to the set value C, the larger the difference in acceleration detected by the first and

second sensors

202 and 204, and the lighting interval of the light source generator 50 is compared with the case where the value is close to the B value. Control by narrowing down or increasing the playing sound of the sound source.

The step S130 is for determining whether the user performs a rhythm action through the rooting tool 100, and the rooting tool (for the user to apply an impact to either of the first and second sensors 202 and 204). In the case of operating 100), the difference of the data value is formed larger than the set value C.

Specifically, when the user hits the cheering tool 100 on the palm of the hand and cheers like 337 clapping, the difference between the two acceleration values is formed larger than the C, thereby determining the rhythm action.

Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the acceleration sensor is described as an example of the dynamic sensor, but may be implemented using a pressure sensor.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments and drawings presented herein, and can be applied by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
