External Terminal Display for Electronic Musical Instruments
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic musical instruments lack an effective means to provide users with comprehensive operational information, especially when they do not have a high-performance display or require additional tutorial and manual guidance, limiting user understanding and operation efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system comprising an electronic musical instrument, a server, and a terminal, where the server receives operation information from the instrument and transmits operation-associated information to the terminal, enabling the display of detailed tutorials, manuals, and search results on the terminal's higher-performance display, thus aiding user operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If electronic musical instruments are equipped with high-performance display devices to provide comprehensive operational information, then user understanding and operation efficiency are improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the display function from the electronic musical instrument itself and relocates it to an external terminal device (smartphone, tablet, or PC). The instrument only transmits operation data and receives control instructions, while the terminal device handles all display and tutorial presentation functions. This separation allows the instrument to remain simple while users access comprehensive operational information through their personal devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal device serves multiple functions: it displays operational information, provides tutorials, shows manuals, and transmits control instructions back to the instrument. By utilizing the user's existing terminal device for these diverse functions, the patent avoids adding specialized components to the instrument while achieving comprehensive information delivery.
2Ease of operation
If electronic musical instruments include built-in display devices for operational guidance, then ease of operation is improved, but manufacturing cost and device complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent leverages the user's existing terminal device (smartphone, tablet, or PC) to provide operational guidance and tutorials. Instead of manufacturing instruments with built-in displays, the system uses the user's own devices, which they already possess and are familiar with. This eliminates the need for manufacturers to invest in display hardware while still providing comprehensive operational support.
3Loss of information
If electronic musical instruments transmit detailed operational information to external terminals, then user understanding is enhanced, but communication data volume and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device pre-stores comprehensive tutorial information and manuals before the user needs them. When the user operates the instrument, the instrument only needs to transmit minimal operation data (which buttons were pressed, what notes were played) to trigger the display of pre-prepared tutorial content. This approach minimizes real-time data transmission while ensuring comprehensive information is available.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing device includes a control part. The control part executes: receiving operation information of an electronic musical instrument from the electronic musical instrument; and transmitting operation associated information of the electronic musical instrument corresponding to the operation information to a terminal of a user of the electronic musical instrument, the terminal being different from the electronic musical instrument.
