Electronic music stand performer subsystems and music communication methodologies
First Claim
1. A system for conveying body movements, comprising:
- a plurality of sensors configured to be positioned at a plurality of locations on a body;
an optical capturing unit configured to sense positions of the plurality of sensors relative to a reference frame;
a library of data related to body movements within discrete ranges of motion and discrete instructions associated with the body movements;
a video processing component coupled to the optical capturing unit and configured to compare the positions of the plurality of sensors over a time period to at least a portion of the data in the library, to identify the body movements over the time period as within at least one of the discrete ranges of motion according to data in the library, and to select a discrete instruction associated with the body movements over the time period; and
a display subsystem coupled to the video processing component and configured to display a graphic representation of the discrete instruction associated with the body movements.

Abstract
An electronic music stand system and methodologies relating thereto are presented. The electronic music stand system is comprised of a performer subsystem comprising a processing subsystem, librarian logic, performance logic, and communications management logic. The communications management logic provides management of communication via the communications interface with external apparatus responsive to the performance logic and the librarian logic. The user input apparatus and the display apparatus can be integrated into a touch-screen input display. The present invention also relates to a method for providing for video display of music responsive to the music data stored in a music database. The method is comprised of defining a page of music image data from the music database; defining ordered logical sections; storing the mapping in a memory for selective retrieval; and providing for the video display of the music responsive to the mapping and the storing.

17. A system for communicating instructions from an operator to a recipient performer, comprising:
-
a plurality of markers configured to be positioned at locations on the operator; an optical capturing unit configured to sense positions of the plurality of markers over a time period to determine movements of the plurality of markers relative to a frame of reference and within discrete ranges of motion; a monitoring system configured to receive from the optical capturing unit data relating to the movements of the plurality of markers, the monitoring system being configured to catalog the movements, and assign to the movements a discrete instruction corresponding to at least one of the discrete ranges of motion, the discrete instruction being issued from the operator to the recipient performer for storage in a database; and a display subsystem coupled to the monitoring system configured to display to the recipient performer a graphic representation of the discrete instruction assigned to the movement of the operator. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
