Embodiment Construction

[0062] figure 1 (A) and (B) in are block diagrams showing functional configurations of an apparatus for reproducing music and an apparatus including an apparatus for controlling music reproduction according to an embodiment of the present invention. A user listens to music while performing repetitive exercises using the device for reproducing music. Hereinafter, description will be made using a case where the user does jogging, running exercise, etc. as a specific example of repeated exercise. As a function of selecting music, the device for reproducing music provides the user with two modes, namely, a free (free use) mode and an auxiliary (assisted exercise) mode, allowing the user to enter the free mode or the auxiliary mode with its selection operation. figure 1 (A) in is a schematic block diagram of the music reproduction device in free mode, and figure 1 (B) in (B) is a functional block diagram of the music reproducing device in the auxiliary mode. In the free mode, th...

Abstract

The invention provides apparatus for controlling music reproduction and apparatus for reproducing music. In order to reproduce music suitable for a situation where a user listens to the music while performing repetitive exercise, if a walking tempo value sensed by a walking tempo sensing portion 3 falls outside a certain range defined on the basis of a music tempo value of a music data file currently being reproduced by a music data reproduction portion 6, a music tempo specifying portion 4 specifies a music tempo value agreeing with the walking tempo value. A reproduction control portion 5 selects a music data file having a music tempo value corresponding to the music tempo specified by the music tempo specifying portion 4 from among a plurality of music data files stored along with dataon music tempo of the respective music data files in a data storage portion 2, and causes the music data reproduction portion 6 to start the reproduction of the selected music data file.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for controlling the reproduction of music suitable for the situation where a user listens to music while performing repetitive exercises such as walking and jogging. The invention also relates to a device for reproducing music and a device using the device for controlling the reproduction of music. Background technique [0002] There is a conventional device for reproducing music that senses the step distance (walking tempo) and then adjusts the tempo of the music based on the sensed walking tempo to provide a user who walks while listening to music and whose movements are in harmony with the music. Sensation (Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2003-85888). There is also another conventional device that adjusts the tempo of the music to reduce the difference by a certain ratio if the difference between the used music tempo (music tempo) and the walking speed (walking tempo) exceeds a certain value (J...
