Description

  The present invention relates to infant furniture including a top board.

  Conventionally, various infant toys have been provided, and among them, there is an infant toy equipped with a sound output device that generates a specific sound when a button is touched (see, for example, Patent Document 1). . The voice output device mounted on the toy for infants is provided with a plurality of buttons with characters and shapes, and outputs a voice corresponding to the button when any button is touched.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 05-020796

  By the way, as infants have to move to life toward furniture such as desks as they grow up, each home considers various devices to make them interested in furniture. However, since conventional furniture cannot be enjoyed like a toy, it is difficult to make an infant interested in furniture.

  Therefore, it is conceivable that children are interested in furniture by attaching the above-described audio output device to the furniture. However, since this voice output device simply outputs the voice corresponding to the button, it is not established as a conversation and does not cause the infant to perform any specific action. For this reason, the interest of infants fades in a short time, and it does not reach the point where interest in furniture is heated.

  Then, an object of this invention is to provide the furniture for infants which can make an infant interested in furniture.

  The infant furniture according to the present invention is an infant furniture having a top board, and a voice output that sequentially outputs a switch attached to the top board and a series of words that prompt a specific action each time the switch is pressed. And a portion.

  According to the infant furniture according to the present invention, every time the infant presses a switch attached to the top board, a series of words for prompting a specific action are sequentially output from the audio output unit. The specific action through the conversation with the child makes it possible to have the pleasure of talking with the furniture for infants and the fun of performing the specific action at the same time. Thus, the infant has a great interest in the furniture for infants, and this interest continues for a long time, so that it is possible to make a habit of going to furniture from an early age.

  In this case, the voice output unit outputs the last word of the specific action urged by the last voice output word after the switch is pressed and the word is output by voice after the switch is not pressed for a predetermined time. It is preferable. In this way, even if the infant leaves the infant furniture, it can be recalled with interest in the infant furniture again, so that the infant can be directed to the infant furniture for a long time.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the voice output unit outputs a series of words prompting an action corresponding to the time when the switch is pressed. In this way, the infant can be made to wear a life rhythm.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the voice output unit automatically outputs a voice that invites an action performed on the furniture for infants at a specific time. By doing in this way, even when the infant is away from the furniture, the infant can be directed to the furniture for the infant at a specific time, so that it is possible to acquire the habit of going to the furniture from an early age.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, an infant's interest in furniture can be raised and the habit to go to furniture can be made from the childhood.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of furniture for infants according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, the infant furniture according to the present invention is applied to an infant desk. In the drawings, the same or corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an infant desk according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the infant desk 1 according to the present embodiment has a top plate 3 and a storage shelf 4 attached to four leg plates 2. The storage shelf 4 is composed of a side plate 4 a fixed to each leg plate 2 and a bottom plate 4 b that is detachably attached to each side plate 2. The audio output device 10 is fitted into the top plate 3.

  FIG. 2 is a functional configuration diagram of the audio output device. As shown in FIG. 2, the audio output device 10 includes one switch 11, an audio output control unit 12, and a speaker 13.

  The switch 11 is fitted in a hole formed in the top plate 3, and the upper surface thereof is flush with the top plate 3. Note that the switch 11 may be attached at a position protruding from the top plate 3 as long as various operations on the top plate 3 are not harmed. The switch 11 is constituted by a switch mechanism, a contact sensor, or the like, and is provided with a function for detecting that an infant has pressed it. In this specification, pressing the switch 11 is referred to as “touch”. A mark in the shape of a hand is formed on the upper surface of the switch 11 so as to urge the infant to touch visually.

  The speaker 13 is a loudspeaker that outputs a sound based on a sound output instruction from the sound output control unit 12. The speaker 13 may be configured integrally with the switch 11 or may be attached to the leg plate 2 or the top plate 3 separately from the switch 11.

  Each time the switch 11 is touched, the voice output control unit 12 sequentially outputs a series of words that prompt a specific action.

  Here, the specific action is an action performed with a specific purpose. These specific actions include not only direct actions to achieve a specific purpose, but also actions before or after this direct action. Actions are also included.

  Examples of specific actions include stories on specific topics, morning greetings, drawing work, making things, picking and placing specific things, eating, sleeping, etc. It is preferable that it is a work act such as drawing performed on the top board 3 of the infant desk 1.

  A series of words that prompt a specific action is two or more related words that cause an infant to feel a specific action. For this reason, a series of words that prompt a specific action includes not only words that directly perform a specific action, but also words that guide the user to perform a specific action, and words that evaluate or praise the action. It is.

  For example, as a series of words that prompt a specific act of drawing an elephant, the first is “What kind of face is the elephant?” The second is “Draw an elephant!” The third is “Cooler! "The fourth is" Did you call it? Amazing! Show me! " In this case, the first word “What kind of face is the elephant?” Is output as a voice, so that the child is drawn on a topic that interests the infant and talks about the face of the elephant. The second word “Draw the elephant!” Invite the child to play (draw) on the infant desk 1 by outputting the voice to the child. By outputting the third word “Look more coolly”, the infant will expand their imagination. Is output to the child's desk 1 to give a sense of achievement to the infant's desk 1. By outputting such a series of words as a voice, it is possible to effectively encourage an infant to draw an elephant picture.

  In addition, when the voice output control unit 12 outputs a word prompting a different type of action as a voice, the voice output control unit 12 outputs the voice information as a hand in the meantime. The voice information that becomes a good hand is voice information that is not a word such as a nose song or a laughter, but may be voice information that represents a specific word.

  Furthermore, the audio output control unit 12 is equipped with a clock 14 and outputs a series of words prompting a specific action corresponding to the time according to the time when the switch 11 is touched. For this reason, the audio output control unit 12 is set with a plurality of modes corresponding to specific times and time zones.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a schedule in each mode. As shown in FIG. 3, the first time zone mode in which a series of words for prompting a morning greeting is output in the time zone within 6:30 to 8:59. In the time zone within 9:00 to 11:29, a second time zone mode is set in which a series of words prompting an act of playing intensively on the infant desk 1 such as drawing after breakfast is output as a voice. In a time zone within 11:30 to 13:59 and a time zone within 18: 0 to 18:59, a third time zone mode in which a series of words for prompting a meal is output as a voice is set. In the time zone within 14: 00 to 17: 59, a fourth time zone mode is set in which a series of words prompting an act of playing intensively on the infant desk 1 such as drawing after returning home is output as voice. In a time zone within 19:00 to 19:59, a fifth time zone mode is set in which a series of words that prompt the user to prepare for going to bed are output as audio. In a time zone within 20:00 to 6:29, a sixth time zone mode is set for outputting a sound of sleep or the like in order to encourage an infant to go to bed.

  In addition, the audio output control unit 12 is equipped with a memory 15, and a large number of types of voice information that serve as a series of words for promoting a specific action and voices are registered in advance. Each word registered in the memory 15 is given an identification number, a series of words that prompt a specific action are associated with the identification number, and a series of words and voice information that are output in each time zone mode. Are associated by an identification number.

  Then, the audio output control unit 12 acquires the current time from the clock 14 to identify the current time zone mode. When the voice output control unit 12 detects that the switch 11 is touched, the voice output control unit 12 acquires a series of words and voice information corresponding to the specified time zone mode from the memory 15 based on the identification number, and the switch 11 touches. Each time, the acquired series of words and audio information are sequentially output as audio. In addition, even when the switch 11 is not touched, the voice output control unit 12 automatically outputs a voice that invites an action to be performed at the infant desk 1 at a specific time.

  Next, an example of the processing operation of the audio output device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. The processing operation of the audio output device 10 is performed based on the control of the audio output control unit 12, and the processing is started when the power is turned on, and the processing is ended when the power is turned off.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the audio output device. As shown in FIG. 4, when the power is turned on, the audio output device 10 enters a sleep mode as an initial state (step S1). The sleep mode is a standby state waiting for the switch 11 to be touched.

  Next, the audio output device 10 acquires time from the clock 14 and determines which time zone mode corresponds to the current time (step S3). When it is determined that the current time is within 6:30 to 8:59, the first time period flow is executed (step S4), and when it is determined that the current time is within 9:00 to 11:29, When the two-time zone mode is executed (step S5) and it is determined that the current time is within 11:30 to 13:59 or the current time is within 18: 0 to 18:59, the third time zone mode is executed ( Step S6) When it is determined that the current time is within 14: 0 to 17:59, the fourth time zone mode is executed (Step S7), and it is determined that the current time is within 19: 0 to 19:59. Then, the fifth time zone mode is executed (step S8), and if it is determined that the current time is within 20:00 to 6:29, the sixth time zone mode is executed (step S9).

  The execution of each time zone mode in step S4 to step S9 acquires a series of words and voice information corresponding to each time zone mode from the memory 15, and each time the switch 11 is touched, the obtained series of words and The voice information is sequentially outputted by voice, and at a specific time, the words invited to the action performed at the infant desk 1 are automatically outputted by voice. Details of each time zone mode will be described later.

  When each time zone mode ends, the audio output device 10 once ends the process, transitions to the next time zone mode, and repeats the process from step S1 until the power is turned off.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the first time zone mode. As shown in FIG. 5, in the above-described first time zone mode of step S4 (see FIG. 4), first, it waits for the switch 11 to be touched in the sleep mode (step S10). When the switch 11 is touched (step S10: YES), good morning mode audio output processing is performed (step S11).

  Next, it returns to the sleep mode and waits for the switch 11 to be touched (step S12). When the switch 11 is touched (step S12: YES), play conversation short mode voice output processing is performed (step S13).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the end condition of the first time zone mode is satisfied (step S14). The end condition of the first time zone mode is, for example, when the current time passes 8:59 and transitions to the second time zone mode, or when the play conversation short mode voice output process of step S13 is performed a predetermined number of times (one time Including). And if it determines with the completion | finish conditions of 1st time zone mode being satisfied (step S14: NO), it will return to step S12 and repeat the process mentioned above, and the completion conditions of 1st time zone mode will be satisfied. If it determines (step S14: YES), 1st time zone mode will be complete | finished.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the good morning mode sound output process (see FIG. 5) in step S11 described above, first, the first word for the good morning mode (the first word for the good morning mode) immediately after the switch 11 is touched. ) Is output (step S16). The first word for the good morning mode can be a word that urges the infant to say hello, for example, “Good morning!”.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the switch 11 is touched within 10 minutes after the first good morning mode word is output (step S17). If it is determined that the switch 11 is not touched within 10 minutes after the first good morning mode word is output (step S17: NO), the good morning mode audio output process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the switch 11 has been touched within 10 minutes after outputting the first word for the good morning mode (step S17: YES), the second word for the good morning mode immediately after the switch 11 is touched. (The second word for good morning mode) is output by voice (step S18). The second word for the good morning mode can be a word that gives a satisfaction in response to the greeting and prompts a conversation following the greeting, for example, “How are you today?”

  Next, after outputting the good morning mode second word by voice, it is determined whether or not the switch 11 is touched within 10 minutes after the first good morning mode word is outputted by voice (step S19). If it is determined that the switch 11 is not touched within 10 minutes after the first good morning mode word is output (step S19: NO), the good morning mode audio output process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the switch 11 is touched within 10 minutes after the first good morning mode word is output (step S19: YES), the hand information is output as a voice (step S20), and the good morning mode voice output process is performed. finish. Aino's hand voice information is, for example, voice information such as a nose song and a laughing voice.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing play conversation short mode audio output processing. In the play conversation short mode voice output process in step S13 described above (see FIG. 5), first, the first word for the play conversation short mode (first word for the play conversation short mode) immediately after the switch 11 is touched. Is output by voice (step S29). The first word for the play conversation short mode can be a word that prompts an act that is the starting point of play, for example, “Touch a red thing in the house!”.

As shown in FIG. 13, in the invitation mode voice output process (see FIG. 12) in step S65 and step S69 described above, first, it is determined whether or not the current time is a specific time (step S73). The specific time is, for example, 15:00, 15:30, 16:00, 16:30, 17:00, 17:30. If the current time is any one of these times, the current time is specified. It is determined that it is time.

  If it is determined that the current time is the specific time (step S73: YES), the invitation mode words are automatically output (step S74), and the invitation mode audio output process is terminated. The invitation mode words are words invited to various actions performed at the infant desk 1, and may be words invited to play at the infant desk 1, such as “Let's play with the desk!”. On the other hand, if it is determined that the current time is not a specific time (step S73: NO), the invitation mode voice output process is terminated without outputting the invitation mode words in voice.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a return mode audio output process. As shown in FIG. 14, in the return mode voice output process (see FIG. 12) in step S <b> 66 described above, first, the first word for the welcome mode (first word for the welcome mode) immediately after the switch 11 is touched. ) Is output (step S75). The first word for the welcome mode can be, for example, a word that encourages a conversation about an event on the go, such as “Welcome back!

  Next, it is determined whether or not the switch 11 has been touched within 10 minutes after the first word for the welcome mode is output (step S76). If it is determined that the switch 11 has not been touched within 10 minutes after the first word for the return mode is output as a voice (step S76: NO), the return mode voice output process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the switch 11 is touched within 10 minutes after the first word for the welcome mode is output (step S76: YES), the second word for the welcome mode immediately after the switch 11 is touched. (Second word for welcome mode) is output by voice (step S77). The second word for the welcome mode can be, for example, a word for reminding the snack and urging to eat the snack, such as “Today, snack, what?”.

  Next, after outputting the second word for the welcome mode by voice, it is determined whether or not the switch 11 is touched within 10 minutes after the first word for the welcome mode is voiced (step S78). If it is determined that the switch 11 is not touched within 10 minutes after the first word for the return mode is output as a voice (step S78: NO), the return mode voice output process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the switch 11 is touched within 10 minutes after outputting the first word for the welcome mode (step S78: YES), the hand information is output as a voice (step S79), and the return mode voice output process is performed. finish.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the fifth time zone mode. As shown in FIG. 15, in the above-described fifth time zone mode (see FIG. 4) in step S8, first, it waits for the switch 11 to be touched in the sleep mode (step S80). When the switch 11 is touched (step S80: YES), a sleep preparation mode sound output process is performed (step S81).

  Next, it returns to the sleep mode and waits for the switch 11 to be touched (step S82). When the switch 11 is touched (step S82: YES), play conversation short mode voice output processing is performed (step S83). The play conversation short mode sound output process in step S83 is the same as the play conversation short mode sound output process in step S13 shown in FIGS.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the end condition of the fifth time zone mode is satisfied (step S84). The end condition of the fifth time zone mode is, for example, when the current time has passed 19:59 and transitioned to the sixth time zone mode, or when the play conversation short mode audio output process of step S83 is performed a predetermined number of times (one time Including). And if it determines with the completion | finish conditions of 5th time zone mode not being satisfied (step S84: NO), it will return to step S82 and will repeat the process mentioned above, and the completion conditions of 5th time zone mode will be satisfied. If determined (step S84: YES), the fifth time zone mode is terminated.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the bedtime preparation mode audio output process. As shown in FIG. 16, in the bed preparation mode voice output process (see FIG. 15) in step S81 described above, first, immediately after the switch 11 is touched, the first word for the bed preparation mode (for bed preparation mode). The first word) is output as voice (step S85). The first word for the sleep preparation mode may be a word that prompts the user to clear the room, such as “Clean up!”.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the switch 11 is touched within 10 minutes after outputting the first word for bedtime preparation mode by voice (step S86). If it is determined that the switch 11 has not been touched within 10 minutes after the first word for bedtime preparation mode is output (step S86: NO), the bedtime preparation mode audio output process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the switch 11 has been touched within 10 minutes after outputting the first word for the sleep preparation mode (step S86: YES), the second for the sleep preparation mode immediately after the switch 11 is touched. Are output as voice (step S87). The second word for the sleep preparation mode can be a word that gives a sense of accomplishment of the clean-up and prompts the next clean-up, for example, “You are clean!”.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the switch 11 is touched within 10 minutes after outputting the first word for bed preparation mode by voice after outputting the second word for bed preparation mode by voice (step S88). If it is determined that the switch 11 has not been touched within 10 minutes after the first word for bedtime preparation mode is output (step S88: NO), the bedtime preparation mode audio output process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the switch 11 has been touched within 10 minutes after outputting the first word for bedtime preparation mode by voice (step S88: YES), the hand information is output by voice (step S89), and the bedtime preparation mode voice is output. The process ends.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the sixth time zone mode. As shown in FIG. 17, in the above-described sixth time zone mode (see FIG. 4) in step S9, it is first determined whether or not the current time is 20:00 (step S92). If it is determined that the current time is 20:00 (step S92: YES), the sleep mode words are automatically output (step S93), and the process proceeds to step S98. The word for the sleep mode can be a word that prompts the user to go to bed, for example, “Good night! Then, the sixth time zone mode is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the current time is not 20:00 (step S92: NO), it waits for the switch 11 to be touched in the sleep mode (step S94). Until the switch 11 is touched, the process returns to step S92 and the above-described processing is repeated. When the switch 11 is touched (step S94: YES), it is determined whether or not the time when the switch 11 is touched is within 21: 0 to 5:59 (step S95). If it is determined that the time at which the switch 11 is touched is not within 21: 0 to 5:59 (step S95: NO), the sleep mode words are output (step S96), and the process proceeds to step S98. The words for the sleep mode can be, for example, words or voice information that further promotes bedtime by sleep, such as “gu, gu, gu, gu”. On the other hand, if it is determined that the time at which the switch 11 is touched is within 21: 0 to 5:59 (step S95: YES), the touch of the switch 11 is invalidated because it is midnight (step S97). move on.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the end condition of the sixth time zone mode is satisfied (step S98). The end condition of the sixth time zone mode is, for example, a case where the current time has passed 6:29 and the transition is made to the first time zone mode. And if it determines with the completion | finish conditions of 6th time slot | zone mode not being satisfied (step S98: NO), it will return to step S92 and will repeat the process mentioned above. On the other hand, if it is determined that the termination condition for the sixth time zone mode is satisfied (step S98: YES), the sixth time zone mode is terminated.

  As described above, according to the infant desk 1 according to the present embodiment, a series of words prompting a specific action from the audio output device 10 is sequentially voiced each time the infant presses the switch 11 attached to the top 3. Since the data is output, the infant can enjoy the conversation with the infant desk 1 and the pleasure of performing the specific action at the same time by the specific action through the conversation with the infant desk. As a result, the infant has a great interest in the infant desk 1 and this interest continues for a long time, so that it is possible to make a habit of heading to the desk from an early age.

  In the play conversation length mode voice output processing in the second time zone mode and the fourth time zone mode, the switch 11 is touched and any one of the first words for the play conversation length mode to the third words for the play conversation length mode is selected. After the voice output, when the switch 11 is not touched for a predetermined period of time, the fourth word for play conversation length mode is automatically output as a voice. Therefore, even if the infant leaves the infant desk 1, it is again for the infant. Since the desk 1 can be recalled with interest, the infant can be directed to the infant desk 1 for a long time.

  In addition, the mode corresponding to the time zone is set, and the time zone when the switch 11 is touched and a series of words that prompt a specific action corresponding to the time are output by voice, thereby allowing the infant to acquire a life rhythm. Can do.

  Further, in the fourth time zone mode, the invitation mode words are automatically output by the invitation mode voice output processing at a specific time, so that even when the infant is away from the infant desk 1, the specific time is reached. Since the infant can be directed to the infant desk 1, it is possible to acquire the habit of going to the desk from an early age.

  In addition, since a series of words that prompt a specific action are sequentially output by voice by operating one switch 11, even an infant can be easily and easily operated. Further, since only one switch 11 needs to be operated, the infant can concentrate on the conversation with the infant desk 1. Thereby, the interest to the infant desk 1 of an infant can be continued for a long time.

  Further, since the bottom plate 4b of the storage shelf 4 is detachably attached to the leg plate 2, the height of the bottom plate 4b attached to the leg plate 2 is changed as the child grows, or the infant desk 1 is moved up and down in this state. By turning it over, it can function as a shelf.
