    METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CREATING A MOVEMENT GENERATED PATTERN TECHNICAL FIELD
    The invention relates to a method and a system for creating designs based on the physiology of a human body. More particular the invention relates to human influence on a digital blueprint that is used to operate a machine and an interface for creating such a blueprint. More particular the machine may comprise an industrial machine.
    BACKGROUND
    The pervasiveness of digital technologies has led to the digitalization of industrial machines, such as looms. Computers are used to operate such looms and to create the design blueprints, and are operated in what has become a traditional way of operating such computers. Current state of the art human computer interactions are mostly based on user control via physical interaction with one or more input devices, such as a mouse, a keyboard, a track ball, a touch pad, and so forth. What used to be a completely physical activity such as weaving with an old-fashioned manual loom, has turned into an activity of passively sitting behind a computer screen and using minimalistic movements of the hand or arm to move a cursor around in order to provide an industrial loom with a set of digital instructions. This in turn has led to a disconnection between the user and his/her ability to physically influence the output of the machine. Additionally, because these industrial machines are housed in factories, the studio designer has often no chance to interact with the machine at all. A striking statistic illustrates an alarming normalcy of our modem age: one-tenth of the American population suffered from some form of depression in 2009. Depression can be major, mild-but-chronic, or minor and it can manifest itself in physical symptoms, which, left untreated, can lead to more serious illnesses such as heart disease, alcoholism, chronic pain and diabetes (see James Gordon, 2009. “Unstuck: Your Guide to the Seven-Stage Journey Out of Depression”). Some of these cases can be linked to the feelings of redundancy that we experience in our modern industrialized world. “Our physical functioning affects the way we feel, think, and act, and our attitude towards the world around us” (Gordon). Directly or indirectly, the absence of sufficient physical functioning therefore limits creativity and even causes depression and other illness as mentioned above.
    Several attempts have been made to improve natural or intuitive interaction with a computer. One such attempt is disclosed in USA patent application US2015/00116214A1 by Grunnet-Jepsen Anders, which discloses an apparatus, computer-readable storage medium, and method associated with human computer interaction, in embodiments, a computing device may include a plurality of sensors, including a plurality of light sources and a camera, to create a three dimensional (3-D) interaction region within which to track individual finger positions of a user of the computing device. The light sources and the camera may be complementarity disposed for the camera to capture the finger or hand positions. The computing device may further include a 3-D interaction module configured to analyze the individual finger positions within the 3-D interaction region, the individual finger movements captured by the camera, to detect a gesture based on a result of the analysis, and to execute a user control action corresponding to the gesture detected. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
    Although the prior art methods and systems facilitate automated operation of industrial machines such as a loom, they are based on general human computer interfaces ((which stand far from the original manual operation of the machine.))

    Modem industrial looms require some kind of digital input. A typical industrial loom is configured to be able to read weave instructions from a digital file and translate a digitally produced pattern into a woven textile. The invention enables the designer to create completely unique graphic digital patterns, which reflect his purposeful, intuitive, or passive choices and decisions, unique to a specific moment in time. This is done by translating his particular and very personal way of conscious or unconscious movement or, for example, dancing. The invention therefore empowers the designer to use his full creative potential, which is for example reflected in the woven pattern of a textile made by an industrial loom.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION
    The invention is now described by the following embodiments, with reference to the figures. FIGURE 1a,b,c,d,e,f,g show embodiments of the present invention with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) 101 for selecting various design components. The selection process is part of the setup phase. The letters (“A”,”B” and “C”) are added next to or below design components in order to support the following descriptions. These letters are not necessary shown in the GUI. The setup phase comprises that the user selects out of a pre-selection design forms and lay-outs as presented in the GUI. The set of design forms and lay-outs may of course be enhanced with multiple other design forms and lay-outs than showed here in the figures. The examples are to illustrate some embodiments. FIGURE 1a shows a first screen of the GUI wherein design forms square (A), triangle (B) and circle (C) are presented. The user may select one of the design forms, for example triangle (B). FIGURE 1b shows a following screen wherein the user has a choice to increase (A) or decrease (B) the size of the triangle. FIGURE 1c shows a following screen wherein the user may select a filled triangle (A) or an open triangle (B). Additional selection screens may comprise that the line thickness may be selected or angle of the form etc. FIGURE 1d shows a following screen wherein a lay-out of triangles may be varied. A horizontal array of triangles may have triangles close together (A) or spaced apart (B). FIGURE 1e shows a following screen wherein the space between multiple horizontal arrays of triangles may be controlled from close together (A) to wide apart (B). FIGURE 1f shows a following screen wherein the layout of the pattern formation and progression may be chosen to create, as an example, horizontal rows left to right (A), horizontal rows left to right, then right to left (B), or circular-shaped spirals (C). FIGURE 1g shows a following screen wherein the pattern itself can be built in a two-dimensional (A) or three-dimensional (B) environment. FIGURE 2 shows an example of a digitally produced pattern, which may be created by using the invented method and system. After setting up the design forms and lay-out to the likings of a user, the user, equipped with sensors for detecting movement and muscle tension, starts to move. He could move for example in a very functional manner in order to achieve a particular pattern, move totally intuitively without bothering about the result, or anywhere between. The processor of a computer, using the set-up result of the selected design forms and lay-out as input for processing software, processes the measured sequence of movements and muscle tension. These measured values are then combined with the setup results. Based on this combination, a sequence of design forms is generated which in the end results in a digitally produced pattern which may be used as input for the operation of a machine, such as an industrial loom. Because of the selection of, in this case, triangles in the particular lay-out and size, the pattern is generated based on said set boundaries. A high muscle tension for example may lead to a bigger triangle, whereas the absence of muscle tension may lead to an empty space. A fast sequence of movements may lead to triangles being less spaced apart. Long movements with the same intensity of muscle tension may lead to many repetitions of the same size of triangle and evenly spaced. Accelerated movements may be represented by an increased spacing of the triangles etcetera. It should be understood that many variations and relations to movement and/or muscle tension may be programmed.
    The pattern of figure 2 is created by writing triangles in a horizontal direction from left to right and from the top to the bottom. The pattern may also be created from right to left or alternating. Likewise, the pattern may also be written from bottom to top or alternating, or in other such formations.
    The way the pattern is built in the example shows lots of similarities with the way a weaving machine, such as an industrial loom, works. Weaving is usually done by creating a pattern of two sets of threads at a right angle, which is built up from left to right and then from right to left etcetera. A pattern such as shown in figure 2 is therefore very suitable to be used as input for an industrial loom, even in real-time. The user of the present inventive method and system will easily learn the relation of his movements and muscle tension to the actual creation of the pattern. It will even become an intuitive and natural manner for creating patterns, which are for example particularly relevant for a textile pattern. FIGURE 3 shows an example of a product outcome shape that can be visualized while creating a pattern, indicating to the user how the pattern relates to the final design shape and form. FIGURE 4 shows examples from the pattern making process wherein animations can be paused and design components can be adjusted while in the live creation process, for example color (A) or pattern direction (B). FIGURE 5 shows an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the product shape is separated into colors, indicating areas of weave variation, and the pattern is laid into the product shape. - The product shape is separated into the design form (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b) and seams (3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7). - The textile is woven in up to four layers at any given location. - When the textile is woven as a quadruple layer, the layers will be referred to as ‘Layer T, ‘Layer 2’, ‘Layer 3’, and ‘Layer 4’. - When the textile is woven as a double layer, the two layers will be referred to as ‘Layer 1&2’ and ‘Layer 3&4‘. - When the textile is woven as a triple layer, the layers will be referred to as ‘Layer 1&2’, ‘Layer 3’, and ‘Layer 4’. - When the textile is woven as a single layer, the fabric will be referred to as a ‘single layer cloth’. - The product shape is woven in different layers to create both the pattern design and the product form, and the color in the graphic indicates which weave should be used. - Color (1a) and (1b) comprise the body of the design form. - Color (1a) is woven as a quadruple layer weave wherein the Layer 1 and Layer 2 belong to the front of the shirt and Layer 3 and Layer 4 belong to the back of the shirt. - Color (1b) is woven as a double layer weave wherein Layer 1&2 belongs to the front of the shirt and Layer 3&4 belongs to the back of the shirt. - Color (2a) and (2b) comprise the body of the design form on certain layers only. - Color (2a) is woven as a triple weave wherein Layer 1&2 is waste and Layer 3 and Layer 4 belong to the back of the shirt. - Color (2b) is woven as a double layer weave wherein in Layer 1&2 is waste and Layer 3&4 belongs to the back of the shirt. - Color (3a) and (3b) comprise a closed seam construction, which closes the product shape. - Color (3a) is woven as a tight, single layer cloth. - Color (3b) is woven as a double layer weave in which weft 1 belongs to Layer 1&2 and weft 2 belongs to Layer 3&4. - Color (4a) and (4b) comprise an open seam construction, which opens the product shape into two layers. - Color (4a) is woven as a tight weave on Layer 1&2 and a tight weave on Layer 3&4. - Color (4b) is woven as a quadruple layer weave in which weft 1 belongs to Layer 1 and Layer 4 and weft 2 belongs to Layer 2 and Layer 3. - Color (5a) and (5b) comprise an open seam construction in which a seam and a pattern weave at the same time, on respective layers. - Color (5a) is woven as a tight weave on Layer 1&2 and as the pattern design on Layer 3&4. - Color (5b) is woven as a double layer weave on Layer 1&2 in which weft 1 belongs to Layer 1 and weft 2 belongs to Layer 2, and as the pattern design on Layer 3&4. - Color (6a) and (6b) comprise an open seam construction in which a seam and waste are woven at the same time, on respective layers. - Color (6a) is woven as waste on Layer 1 &2 and as a tight weave on Layer 3&4. - Color (6b) is woven as waste on Layer 1&2 and as a double layer weave on Layer 3 and Layer 4 in which weft 1 belongs to Layer 4 and weft 2 belongs to Layer 3. - Color (7) is woven as a double layer weave on Layer 1 and Layer 2 in which weft 1 belongs to Layer 1 and weft 2 belongs to Layer 2, and is woven as tight weave on Layer 3&4. FIGURE 6a,b show embodiments of the present invention, wherein physical components of the physical tool may be selected and combined. A set of bars and hollow tubes is shown as an example. Bars 401 a,b are for example relatively lightweight wooden bars, whereas bars 402a,b may comprise heavier metal bars. The choice of a heavy or a light bar influences movement and/or muscle tension. The bars with various characteristics may be combined. For example bars 401 a,b and bars 402a,b may be partly inserted in the hollow and flexible tubes 403a,b,c,d as shown in figure 4b and together form a new tooi which may affect the movement and/or muscle tension of the user in a totally different manner than each tool would when manipulated separately. The tools 401a,b, 402a,b, 403a,b,c,d and the combination of any of these tools forming a new tool may also be equipped with motion sensors and/or position sensors. FIGURE 7 shows an embodiment of the present invention where a user 201 manipulates a physical tool 410 (hereinafter referred as “tooi”), in the figure a walking-cane 410 is shown. The tooi 410 has been selected by the user 201. The effect of manipulation of the tooi 410 is that on the one hand movements are influenced by directly limiting or stimulating movements of the user’s body parts and directly influencing muscle tension, while on the other hand the tool 410 may have a psychological impact on the user 201 which influences movement or muscle tension in a more indirect manner. The tooi 410 may for example be equipped with a sound generating device (not shown) which agitates or relaxes the user 201, and therefore respectively increases or decreases muscle tension. The changed state of mind of the user 201 may also increase speed of movement or slowing down of movement. The tooi 410 may also be equipped with a visual stimulus to achieve a change in perception by the user 201 and subsequent change in movements and/or muscle tension. In order to measure variations in muscle tension of body parts of the user 201, sensor devices 301 a,b are provided. These may comprise for example arm bands 301 a,b with electromyographical sensors (usually with metal sensors on the inside of the arm band which make contact to the user’s skin). By measuring a sequence of electromyographical signals as picked up by the sensors of the arm bands 301a,b, a processor processing these signals may determine a sequence of muscle tension variations. The arm band 301 a,b is preferably arranged for wireless communication to said processor, so as to enable free movement of the user 201. The arm band may further be equipped with one or more motion sensors, such as accelerometers. The tooi 410 may also be equipped with one or more motion sensors and/or position sensors 302a,b (preferably arranged for wireless communication with the processor as well). By measuring the movement of the tool 410 itself, the interaction becomes even richer. By combining the input of the movement of the tooi 410 with the movement of the arm bands 301 a,b and the measured muscle tension, the creation of the digitally produced pattern becomes a result of a much more complete interpretation of a movement by the user 201.
    It should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments illustrate rather than limit the invention, and that those skilled in the art will be able to design many alternative embodiments without departing from the scope of the appended claims. In the claims, any reference signs placed between parentheses shall not be construed as limiting the claim. Use of the verb "to comprise" and its conjugations does not exclude the presence of elements or steps other than those stated in a claim.

In the device claim enumerating several means, several of these means may be embodied by one and the same item of hardware. The mere fact that certain measures are recited in mutually different dependent claims does not indicate that a combination of these measures cannot be used to advantage.
