Device for the auditory reproduction of sound sequences upon approach to an art / picture object

Abstract

Device for the auditory reproduction of sound sequences upon approach to an art / picture object, comprising • a picture carrier that represents a work of art, • a motion sensor to detect approach or movement in the area of ​​the image carrier, • a control unit that is connected to the motion sensor and triggers the output of a sound sequence upon detection of movement, • a memory module with a large number of stored sound files (sounds, tones, nature sounds, musical pieces) that are relevant to the theme, • at least one audio output unit (speaker) for playing back the sound sequence, • a power supply (battery or AC adapter).

Description

[0001] ARTISONIC - audible masterpieces combined: an art / image object (e.g. on canvas), a motion sensor, a sound unit (speaker + memory), control electronics to play motion-controlled auditory feedback (sounds, noises, sound effects, music) appropriate to the subject. Title of the invention

[0002] ARTISONIC - audible masterpieces - Device for the auditory reproduction of sound sequences when approaching an art / picture object. Technical field

[0003] The invention relates to a decorative device, in particular a work of art or picture object, which automatically plays acoustic tones, noises, sound effects or music when a person approaches. It is a solution geared towards art / picture objects that enables motion-dependent, motif-related and variably controlled sound playback. Object of the invention

[0004] The invention comprises an art / image object that, in addition to the visual representation, also opens up an auditory perception level by playing different sounds, noises or pieces of music as one walks past, corresponding to the depicted motif.

[0005] This is solved by a device that includes the following features: • Image carrier / artwork • Motion sensor that detects movements within the detection range. • Control unit that is connected to the motion sensor and triggers an audio signal from a memory after detecting movement. • Memory module containing a variety of sound files of varying lengths (e.g., noises, nature sounds, sound effects, music pieces, etc.). • Audio output unit, integrated miniature speakers that reproduce individual sound sequences of varying duration. • Power supply (batteries, USB or AC adapter) (Optional: Random control that variably selects the sound sequences, so that different acoustic impressions are created with repeated triggers.) Advantages of the invention

[0006] A novel, multi-dimensional art experience (visual + auditory)

[0007] Easy integration into private or public spaces

[0008] Individual adaptation of sound files to different themes; variability through different sound sequences ensures variety; low energy consumption (e.g. battery operation, power supply or USB) Examples of implementation

[0009] A picture of a beach / sea, printed on canvas, for example, contains a motion sensor. When someone walks by, sounds such as waves, wind, seagulls, and short musical passages are played. One sound is played per detection. The speakers are located behind the image.

[0010] Example 2: An art print of Vincent van Gogh's public domain masterpiece "Starry Night" depicts a nighttime landscape. When motion is detected, chirping cicadas, an owl, rustling leaves, church bells, piano music, etc., become audible.

Claims

[1] Device for the auditory reproduction of sound sequences upon approach to an art / picture object, comprising • a picture carrier that represents a work of art, • a motion sensor to detect approach or movement in the area of ​​the image carrier, • a control unit that is connected to the motion sensor and triggers the output of a sound sequence upon detection of movement, • a memory module with a large number of stored sound files (sounds, tones, nature sounds, musical pieces) that are relevant to the theme, • at least one audio output unit (speaker) for playing back the sound sequence, • a power supply (battery or AC adapter). [2] Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the sound sequences have different lengths. [3] Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized bythat the memory module can hold a total length of up to 60 minutes of stored sound files. [4] Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the control unit has a random control for the variable selection of sound sequences. [5] Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by that there is a motion sensor. [6] Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the audio output unit is integrated in / behind the frame or image carrier. [7] Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the power supply is provided via batteries or a power adapter. [8] Device for the auditory enhancement of the perception of an art / image object, in which a motion sensor detects an approach or movement in the area of ​​the image carrier, the detection transmits a control signal to a control unit, the control unit selects a sound sequence from a storage module, and the selected sound sequence is played back via an audio output unit. [9] Device, characterized by , that the selection of the sound sequence can be done randomly. [10] Device, characterized by that the sound sequences are thematically adapted to the artwork being depicted. [11] Device, characterized by , that different sound sequences are played with repeated triggers.
