Abstract

To provide a sound producing system using physiological information to create sound outputs based on the user'"'"'s physiological data, without individual differences between human instructors who provide the instructions for human movement, by using sounds that regulate human movement by machine. A sound system using physiological information comprising: a plurality of sensors that acquire physiological data, a MIDI device for producing sound information, a control unit that combines digital voice file data, sensor information, and sound information to control the output from speakers.

Claims

1. A sound producing device using physiological information, comprising:

a plurality of sensors that acquire physiological information,

a MIDI device for producing audio information, and

a control unit that combines digital sound file data, sensor information and audio information to control the output from speakers.

2. The sound producing device using physiological information according to claim 1, further comprising:

a sound source for producing audio information uses a MIDI device using at least two-track that primarily produces music and rhythm, and

a sound source that digitally records human voice.

3. The sound producing device using physiological information according to claim 1, wherein the audio output comprises at least three types of sounds:

music, rhythm, and voice;

the output of the music and rhythm is the audio output that uses MIDI notes; and

the voice is played back with recorded voice.

4. The sound producing device using physiological information according to claim 1, wherein the device performs:

comparing with the numerical range prepared in advance to determine whether the physical condition is appropriate;

in order to create an appropriate physical condition by using the sound, initially using the output speed of a MIDI sound which has an audio output instructing physiological information that is lower than the target numerical range, and then incrementally increasing the speed; and

when the target numerical range is reached, ceasing a function that incrementally increases the speed, and maintaining the output speed at the time that the numerical range is reached.

5. The sound producing device using physiological information according to claim 1, wherein the output of voice data differs by the voice data selected in accordance with the physiological information acquired by the sensors, and the voice data is divided into several states:

the intermediate area of the setting range, the lower area of the setting range, the upper area of the setting range, the area below the lower setting range, and the area above the upper setting range.

6. The sound producing device using physiological information according to claim 4, wherein the audio output is stopped in the event that the measured physiological information is not reached in the setting range even if the audio output speed is increased within a specified period of time.
