And a second storage operation unit 17. In addition, a character portion 51 is provided on the surface of the panel portion 5. The character portion 51 is printed with a display of the name of the holder of the storage and reproduction device 1, a display of the name of the user, and a display for performing reproduction by pressing the reproduction operation section 4.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the storage / reproduction device 1 of this embodiment. The storage and reproduction device 1 includes a storage unit 2, a reproduction unit 3, a reproduction operation unit 4, a power supply unit 7, a control unit 8, an input unit 9,
Signal converter 10, microphone 11, speaker 12, discriminator 1
5, a first storage operation unit 16, a second storage operation unit 17, and a storage medium 21.

The microphone 11 collects an audio signal from outside the storage / reproduction device 100. The input unit 9 outputs the audio signal collected by the microphone 11 to the signal conversion unit 10. The signal conversion unit 10 converts the audio signal output from the input unit 9 into audio data and outputs the audio data to the storage unit 2.

The first storage operation section 16 is composed of a changeover switch, and outputs a first signal to the discrimination section 15 by an operation from the panel section 5. The second storage operation unit 17 includes a changeover switch, and outputs a second signal to the determination unit 15 by an operation from the panel unit 5. The discrimination unit 15 includes a microcomputer, and the first signal and the second signal are arranged in a predetermined order,
For example, when the first signal is input first, the second signal is input second, and the first signal is input third, a storage instruction signal for instructing the storage medium 21 to store audio data is sent to the control unit 800. Output. When the first signal and the second signal are not input in a predetermined order, the determination unit 15 does not output the storage instruction signal.

The control unit 800 controls the storage unit 2 to store an audio signal in the storage medium 21 according to the storage instruction signal from the determination unit 15.

The storage unit 2 stores the audio data output from the signal conversion unit 10 for a predetermined period of time, for example, 10 seconds, according to a storage instruction signal output from the determination unit 15 and input via the control unit 8. It is stored in the medium 21. The storage medium 21 includes an information recording medium such as an optical information recording medium or an IC memory. When the storage instruction signal is input from the determination unit 15 while the storage medium 21 has already stored the audio data, the storage unit 2 deletes the audio data stored in the storage medium 21, and The voice data input from 10 is stored in the storage medium 21.

By operating the reproduction operation unit 4, a reproduction instruction signal for instructing reproduction of the audio data stored in the storage medium 21 is output to the control unit 8. The control unit 8 controls the storage unit 2 to reproduce the audio data stored in the storage medium 21 according to a reproduction instruction signal from the reproduction operation unit 4.

The storage unit 2 outputs the audio data stored in the storage medium 21 to the reproduction unit 3 in response to a reproduction instruction signal output from the reproduction operation unit 4 and input via the control unit 8.
The reproduction unit 3 demodulates the audio data output from the storage unit 2 and converts it into an audio signal. The speaker 12 outputs an audio signal from the playback unit 3 to the outside of the storage and playback device 10.

As described above, the storage / reproduction device 1 erases the audio data stored in the storage medium 21 by operating the first storage operation unit 16 and the second storage operation unit 17 in a predetermined order. Then, new audio data can be stored. First storage operation unit 16 and second storage operation unit 1
A person who does not know the operation method of 7 deletes the audio data stored in the storage medium 21 of the storage / reproduction device 1 and cannot store new audio data. It is possible to prevent the audio data from being erased.

When the storage / reproduction device 1 is used between a doctor in a hospital and a patient, only the doctor operates the first storage operation unit 16 and the second storage operation unit 17 for storing voice data. Know the order and do not inform the patient. The doctor operates the first storage operation unit 16 and the second storage operation unit 17 in a predetermined order, and
To store the message for the patient. The patient reproduces the doctor's message stored in the storage and reproduction device 1 by operating the reproduction operation unit 4. The patient has the first storage operation unit 1
6 and the operation order of the second storage operation unit 17 are not known,
A message from a doctor cannot be erased intentionally or accidentally.

The storage / reproduction device 1 of this embodiment is configured to operate the two operation units of the first storage operation unit 16 and the second storage operation unit 17 in a predetermined order. An arrangement may be provided in which an operation unit is provided and audio data can be stored by operating in accordance with a predetermined order.

The storage / playback apparatus of this embodiment has a display unit on the panel unit 5, which displays the current date and time and the set date and time on the display unit, and displays the storage medium 21 at the set time.
May be automatically reproduced. In this case, a clock unit that outputs a signal of the current date and time, a time setting unit that sets time, and a time storage unit that stores the set date and time are provided.
The doctor sets the time at which the patient wants to take the medicine by the time setting unit, and causes the storage medium 21 to store the message. As a result, the message is automatically reproduced at the time set by the doctor. For example, when the patient takes the medicine, a message such as “Please take two white tablets in the medicine bag” is automatically reproduced. Therefore, the patient can hear the message at the time intended by the doctor.
