METHOD, APPARATUS AND SOFTWARE FOR PROVIDING USER FEEDBACK

摘要

A device for providing feedback to a user of a string instrument is described. The device comprises receiving circuitry operable in use to communicate with at least one finger sensor capable of detecting the force of a finger on a string, a camera operable in use to capture an image and a display operable in use to display data, wherein the receiving circuitry, camera and display are connected to processing circuitry which is operable to: detect, from the receiving circuitry, the force of a user's finger on at least one string at a given time; detect, from the camera, the position of the user's finger on the at least one string at the given time; compare the detected force of the user's finger and the position of the user's finger on the at least one string at the given time with a predetermined value of force and position at the given time; and generate, on the basis of the said comparison, feedback to display on the display.

1. A method of providing feedback to a user of a string instrument, comprising the steps:
detecting the force of a user's finger on at least one string at a given time; detecting the position of the user's finger on the at least one string at the given time; comparing the detected force of the user's finger and the position of the user's finger on the at least one string at the given time with a predetermined value of force and position at the given time; and generating feedback to display to the user on the basis of the said comparison.
