Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing musical training systems fail to efficiently manage and display multiple target portions for training within a music piece, making it difficult for users to grasp and practice effectively.
Innovation Solution
A musical performance assistance apparatus and method that sets and displays multiple target portions for training in a side-by-side arrangement, with optional features like display order determination based on evaluation criteria, connected musical score creation, and additional information acquisition to enhance practice efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple target portions for training are set in a music piece, then the comprehensiveness of training is improved, but it becomes difficult for the user to easily grasp the target portions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the musical score into multiple separate display regions, each showing a different target portion. This segmentation allows the user to view multiple target portions simultaneously without confusion, resolving the contradiction between providing comprehensive training targets and making them easy to grasp.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a traditional single-page vertical layout to a multi-region layout that utilizes horizontal space more effectively. By arranging target portions in parallel regions across the screen width, the system enables simultaneous viewing of multiple targets that would otherwise require page turning or scrolling.
2Quantity of substance
If target portions are dispersed throughout the entire music piece, then the coverage of training is improved, but page turning is required which reduces practice efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple dispersed target portions from different parts of the music piece into a single consolidated display view. By combining these scattered targets into one screen showing multiple regions simultaneously, the system eliminates the need for page turning while maintaining comprehensive coverage of all target portions.
3Measurement precision
If detailed information about each target portion is provided, then the precision of training guidance is improved, but the complexity of the display increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing detailed information specific to each target portion within its own dedicated display region. Each region can show tailored details relevant to that particular target without cluttering the entire screen, thus maintaining precision of guidance while managing display complexity through localized information presentation.

AI summary
Musical score acquisition section acquires musical score information representing a musical score of a music piece to be practiced by a user. Target portion setting section sets a plurality of portions of the music piece as target portions for training, respectively. Target musical score acquisition section acquires target musical score information indicative of partial musical scores of the respective target portions for training set by the target portion setting section. Display control section controls, on the basis of the target musical score information acquired by the target musical score acquisition section, a display device to display two or more of target musical scores in a side-by-side arrangement. Thus, a user can easily grasp the plurality of target portions for training.
