Abstract:
1. A method for computing sense data comprising the steps of: inputting digital data in which a sound is expressed as a sound pressure value at each of divided frequency areas, analyzing temporal transition of distribution of said sound pressure value at each said frequency area, computing an amount of change in said sound pressure value at each said frequency area with respect to time, analyzing distribution of a region over an entire frequency area at which said amount of change in said sound pressure value exceeds a predetermined threshold value; computing feeling parameter values of five kinds of feeling comprising “pleasure”, “surprise”, “fear”, “happy”, and “sad” based on the distribution of said sound pressure value at each said frequency area, extracting long sound elements and short sound elements based on said sound pressure value at each frequency area divided into sound scales, counting said sound elements wherein a long sound element is counted as +1 when pressure values of both of two areas of a long sound element separated by one octave are larger than a threshold value and a short sound element is counted as +1 when pressure values of both of two areas of a short sound element are larger than a threshold value, and computing said feeling parameter wherein the count of the “happy” parameter is increased by +1 when the numeric value obtained by subtracting the counted value of a short sound element from the counted value of a long sound element is 2 or more and the count of the “sad” long sound element from the counted value of a short sound element is 2 or more, to compute sense data based on each of said feeling parameters.
