Electronic Percussion Strike Display With 2D Position Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic percussion instruments display strike position information in a uniaxial direction, making it difficult for users to accurately determine the specific position where the instrument was struck.
Innovation Solution
A system that includes a processor to display a striking surface modelled as a two-dimensional image, with strike position displays at corresponding two-dimensional positions based on acquired strike positions, allowing users to grasp the precise location of strikes on electronic percussion instruments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If strike position information is displayed in a uniaxial direction, then the display structure is simple, but the user cannot specifically confirm which position of the head was struck
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from one-dimensional strike position display to two-dimensional display by showing the strike position in both radial direction (from center to rim) and tangential direction (angular position). This dimensional expansion allows users to specifically identify any position on the circular head surface, resolving the contradiction between simple display structure and accurate position identification.
2Loss of information
If only radial strike position is displayed, then the display is simple, but the user cannot grasp the angular position information
Solution Approach 1:
The display adds angular position information as a second dimension complementing the radial position. The circular display format naturally accommodates both radial distance from center and angular position around the circle, preventing information loss while maintaining display clarity through intuitive geometric representation.

AI summary
Provided is an electronic machine to which an electronic percussion instrument is connected, the electronic machine including a processor configured to display a striking surface display that models a striking surface of the electronic percussion instrument and is composed of at least a two-dimensional image, and display a strike position display disposed at at least a two-dimensional position based on a strike position acquired from the electronic percussion instrument at a corresponding position on the striking surface display.
