Abstract
A sound control device capable of allowing a user to perceive sound by physical tension and relaxation is provided. The sound control device may include an interface portion 15 for receiving a load input indicating a load size perceived by a user due to user operation; and a control portion 50 for outputting a sound to a speaker 40 corresponding to the load input received by the interface portion 15. The control portion 50 may output a dominant tone sound to the speaker 40 in a first state where the size of the load indicated by the load input is larger than a predefined size. The control portion 50 may output a tonic tone sound to the speaker 40 in a second state where the size of the load indicated by the load input has decreased to less than the predefined size of the first state.
Claims14
A sound control device comprising:
- an interface portion for receiving a load input indicating a load size perceived by a user due to user operation;
- and
- a control portion for outputting a sound to a speaker corresponding to the load input received by the interface portion;
- wherein the control portion outputs a dominant tone sound to the speaker in a first state where the size of the load indicated by the load input is larger than a predefined size;
- and
- wherein the control portion outputs a tonic tone sound to the speaker in a second state where the size of the load indicated by the load input has decreased to less than the predefined size of the first state.
A method of controlling sound to output a sound to a speaker using an interface portion for receiving a load input, recognized by a user, according to an operation by the user, comprising:
- outputting a dominant tone sound to the speaker in a first state where the size of the load displayed according to the load input is larger than a predefined size;
- and
- outputting a tonic tone sound to the speaker in a second state where the size of the load displayed according to the load input is less than the predefined size of the first state.
A sound control device comprising:
- an interface portion for receiving a load input indicating a load size perceived by a user due to user operation;
- and
- a control portion for outputting a sound to a speaker corresponding to the load input received by the interface portion;
- wherein the control portion outputs a first sound to the speaker in a first state where the size of the load indicated by the load input is larger than a predefined size;
- and
- wherein the control portion outputs a second sound to the speaker in a second state where the size of the load indicated by the load input has decreased to less than the predefined size of the first state, the second sound imparting less of a sense of tension to the user than the first sound.
A sound control device comprising:
- an interface portion for receiving a load input indicating a load size perceived by a user due to user operation;
- and
- a control portion for outputting a sound to a speaker corresponding to the load input received by the interface portion;
- wherein the control portion outputs a first sound to the speaker in a first state where the size of the load indicated by the load input is larger than a predefined size;
- and
- wherein the control portion outputs a second sound to the speaker in a second state where the size of the load indicated by the load input has decreased to less than the predefined size of the first state, the second sound causes the user to relax more than the first sound.
