Sound generation device, sound generation method and storage medium storing sound generation program
First Claim
1. A sound generation device, comprising:
- a receiver which receives a sound emission instructing signal which includes time data;
a difference calculator which calculates a difference time between a first timing indicated in the received time data and a second timing when the receiver receives the sound emission instructing signal, each time the sound emission instructing signal is received;
a histogram creator which creates a histogram based on a plurality of difference times calculated previously by the difference calculator, each time a current difference time is calculated by the difference calculator; and
a timing controller which controls a timing for sending the received sound emission instructing signal to a sound emission unit based on the current difference time, which is the difference time most recently calculated by the difference calculator, and a highest frequency difference time which has a highest frequency in the created histogram, each time the difference time is calculated,wherein the timing controller includes a determination unit and a sending unit,wherein the determination unit determines whether the current difference time is longer than the highest frequency difference time,wherein, when the determination unit determines that the current difference time is equal to or longer than the highest frequency difference time, the sending unit sends the received sound emission instructing signal to the sound emission unit at the second timing, andwherein, when the determination unit determines that the current difference time is less than the highest frequency difference time, the sending unit sends the received sound emission instructing signal to the sound emission unit at a third timing obtained by adding the highest frequency difference time to the first timing.

Abstract
Disclosed is a sound generation device including a receiver which receives a sound emission instructing signal in which time data is included and a difference calculator which calculates a difference between a timing indicated in the received time data and a timing when the sound emission instructing signal is received by the receiver, when the sound emission instructing signal in which the time data is included is received. The sound generation device further includes a histogram creator which creates a histogram on the basis of the calculated difference and a difference calculated previously, when the difference is calculated and a timing controller which controls a timing for supplying the received sound emission instructing signal to a sound emission unit on the basis of the calculated difference and a most frequent difference in the created histogram, when the difference is calculated.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program that is executable by a computer of a sound generation device including a receiver which receives a sound emission instructing signal which includes time data, the program being executable by the computer to cause the computer to perform functions comprising:
-
calculating a difference time between a first timing indicated in the received time data and a second timing when the sound emission instructing signal is received, each time the sound emission instructing signal is received; creating a histogram based on a plurality of difference times calculated previously, each time a current difference time is calculated; determining whether the current difference time, which is a most recently calculated difference time, is longer than a highest frequency difference time, which is a difference time having a highest frequency in the created histogram; when it is determined that the current difference time is equal to or longer than the highest frequency difference time, sending the received sound emission instructing signal to the sound emission unit at the second timing; and when it is determined that the current difference time is less than the highest frequency difference time, sending the received sound emission instructing signal to the sound emission unit at a third timing obtained by adding the highest frequency difference time to the first timing. - View Dependent Claims (8)
