| 20090173213 | Music Score Recognizer and Its Applications - A music playing evaluation system, comprising: (i) an input, (ii) a real-time digital signal processing system having an A/D converter, a signal storage, a volume analyzer, a pitch analyzer, a tempo analyzer and a music notes recognizer, (iii) an original score storage, (iv) a played score storage, (v) a performance analyzer, (vi) a music output interface, and (vii) a music display interface, wherein the played music is analyzed, and the amplitude information, the pitch information and the tempo information are extracted and sent to the music notes recognizer and the played music score is obtained. The played music score is compared with the original music score in real time based on the amplitude information, the pitch information and the tempo information extracted from the played music so as to generate a performance evaluation report displayed on the music display interface. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090288545 | Andantephone: Sequential interactive multimedia environment, device, system, musical sculpture, or method of teaching musical tempo - A new way of teaching musical tempo and rhythm is disclosed, together with devices and systems for implementing it. A song-stepper moves through a song or other multimedia file a set amount for each footstep. For andantephonic songs, each step activates the next note in the song, so that there is perfect synchronization between the music and the speed of walking (i.e. if a player walks faster the song plays faster; if the player stops walking the song stops, etc.). The footsteps are sensed by pads such as patio stones arranged along a path. For example, walking to a garden causes a song to play in time with a person's footsteps. Portable versions of the invention are also disclosed. These use sensors installed in shoes, skates, skis, or toboggans. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20110083544 | HEADPHONE METRONOME - A user can select to play a metronome of the user's voice or a default which is played on headphones at a user-established tempo. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20140260905 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TEACHING AND PLAYING A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT - A tool for teaching the playing of a musical instrument includes a control and a signaling unit that instruct a student as to the proper time to strike an instrument. The control is configured to provide a series of signals, through the signaling unit, that denote a tempo for music or a beat, a warning that the time to strike the instrument is approaching, and a signal when it is time to strike the instrument in accordance with the beat or music. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20140352521 | RHYTHM BRAIN FITNESS PROCESSES AND SYSTEMS - Methods and systems for training cognitive skills are disclosed. The methods and systems include: providing, via a computing device and user interface display, musical rhythm training comprising at least one trial comprising: displaying on the user interface display, via the user computing device, a rhythm track comprising at least one stationary beat timing mark and at least one moving beat timing mark repeatedly moving along the rhythm track at a uniform speed; receiving via a user interface input an indication from the user that the user perceives a moving beat timing mark to be coincident with a stationary beat timing mark; and providing, via the user interface, an indicator that the user is correct or not correct. | 12-04-2014 |
| 20150348527 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TIMED EVENT EVALUATION - A timing unit and method useable with a computer and user input includes a circuit and a timer. The timer establishes a reference signal having periodic occurrence and receives a trigger signal from the user input. The circuit generates information that represents the periodic occurrences of the reference signal and response timing data representing a relationship between the trigger signal and one of the occurrences. A communication channel is provided between the circuit and the computer. | 12-03-2015 |
| 20160098940 | RYTHMIC MOTOR SKILLS TRAINING DEVICE - A computerized system and method for music practice and training to assist a musician to improve their skills in maintaining a tempo and to improve ear-hand coordination, eye-hand coordination and other motor skills while learning to play an instrument. The system receives user defined beats per minute (BPM), rhythms or short segments of a music piece and generates audio reference outputs and visual display of music notes as stimuli. The user responses to these stimuli are measured in time and in the force and intensity of the responses and provided as feedback to the user to improve their response time and intensity to stimuli and assists the user in modifying the responses to the output stimuli to reduce the time between the output stimuli and the user response and thus improve the user's timing accuracy while playing music. | 04-07-2016 |
