Method, apparatus and software for providing user feedback
First Claim
1. A method of providing feedback to a user of a string instrument, comprising:
- detecting a force of a user'"'"'s finger on at least one string at a given time;
detecting a 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 at least two predetermined values of force and position at the given time; and
generating feedback to display to the user on the basis of the said comparison.

Abstract
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.
