Music Data Display Control Adaptive Note Information Placement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing music data display techniques face challenges in maintaining visibility of information associated with notes when the display magnification ratio decreases, leading to difficulty in viewing voice codes or other information due to compression or reduction in the music score display area.
Innovation Solution
A music data display control apparatus that adjusts the display of relevant information, such as voice codes, by rearranging them outside the note image when the display magnification ratio is reduced, allowing for optimal visibility by varying the arrangement based on the magnification ratio, including positioning outside the note image in a second display state with a lower magnification ratio.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the display magnification ratio is reduced to compress the music score display area, then more notes can be displayed in the available space, but the relevant information (voice codes) becomes difficult to view clearly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the arrangement of relevant information adaptive to the display magnification ratio. The control section dynamically switches between two display modes: arranging voice codes inside note images when magnification is high, and arranging them outside note images when magnification is low. This dynamic adjustment ensures that voice codes remain visible and legible across different display conditions, resolving the contradiction between display capacity and information visibility.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display size of the voice code decreases to fit inside the compressed note image, then the voice code can be arranged inside the note image, but it becomes difficult for the user to view the voice code clearly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by altering the spatial parameter of voice code arrangement based on the display magnification ratio. When the magnification ratio is low, the system changes the arrangement parameter from 'inside note image' to 'outside note image'. This parameter change allows the voice code to maintain its display size and clarity even when the note image is compressed, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and information clarity.
3Area of stationary object
If the display magnification ratio is reduced, then the music score display area can be compressed to show more content, but the relevant information arranged inside the note image cannot be displayed clearly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by implementing a dynamic display control mechanism that responds to changes in display magnification ratio. The control section automatically adjusts the voice code arrangement strategy based on the current magnification level, switching between inside and outside placement. This dynamic adaptation maintains ease of viewing information across different display areas, resolving the contradiction between compact display and viewing ease.

AI summary
A display area, in which a note is displayed on two-axis coordinates configured by a tone pitch axis and a time axis, is displayed on a display device. A display magnification ratio used in the display area is variable. A note image of a given note is displayed in the display area to be arranged in correspondence with a tone pitch and a tone generation time of the note. The size of the note image is varied with the display magnification ratio. Relevant information is displayed in association with the note image displayed in the display area in such a manner that the relevant information is arranged inside the note image of the note in a first display state and the relevant information is arranged outside the note image of the note in a second display state with a display magnification ratio lower than that of the first display state.
