Uses a so-called semiconductor memory and stores a plurality of vocabularies, for example, a single tone, a word, and a sentence as a response message, together with various parameters, word accents, and intonation patterns.

A vocabulary selection unit 3 as selection means selects an arbitrary vocabulary from a plurality of vocabularies stored in the voice information storage unit 1 in accordance with a control signal of a control unit 5 described later, and selects a conversation selected by the control unit 5. Construct a conversation sentence corresponding to the number. At this time, when the selected conversational sentence is long, a plurality of vocabularies, especially sentences, stored in the speech information storage unit 1 are appropriately connected to form one conversational sentence, and the speech synthesis unit together with the intonation pattern is used as speech information. 9 is output.

The control unit 5 includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and a random number generator. The random number generator appropriately generates a random number in response to a detection signal input from the switch 7, and stores the random number in the ROM or the RAM based on the random number. The conversation number to be selected is selected, and a control signal corresponding to the conversation number is output to the vocabulary selection unit 3.

The switch 7 as a detecting means is provided so as to come into contact with a switch button 7a provided on a casing 13 to be described later, and detects an external pressing operation of the switch button 7a. It is.

The speech synthesis section 9 as speech synthesis means synthesizes speech based on speech information output from the vocabulary selection section 3. The loudspeaker 11 as the uttering means utters the voice synthesized by the voice synthesizer 9.

The housing 13 has a bar portion 13b having a switch button a on one side of a disk portion 13a and a bar-shaped battery housing portion 15 protruding on the other side, and has the above-described voice information storage portion 1, vocabulary selection portion 3, A control unit 5, a switch 7, a switch button 7a, a voice synthesizing unit 9, a speaker 11, a battery (not shown), and the like are incorporated therein. The battery is housed in the battery housing 15, and a rail-shaped protrusion 17 a is formed on one side of the battery housing 15.

As shown in FIG . 3, the utterance doll 19 is
9a is made of synthetic resin and is hollow, and the body 19b is made of a cloth material 21 filled with a filling 23 such as cotton. The neck 27 of the head 19a has a battery housing 15 Is provided in the head 19a. The cross section of the hole 25 is formed in a shape in which the battery housing portion 15 is fitted, the battery accommodating portion 15 when removed the head 19a
It is formed so as to be exposed . When the housing 13 is incorporated into the body of the voice doll, the battery housing 15 is disposed in the head 19a, and the disk 13a and the rod 13b are disposed in the body 19b. The part 13b is embedded in the filling 23 in the body part 19b and is stabilized.
Therefore, when the doll is touched from the outside, it does not directly touch the housing 13, so that the doll does not feel uncomfortable, and the head 19 a is stably held on the body 19 b by the battery housing 15 . .

Next, the operation of the voice puppet of this embodiment will be described. With the above configuration, the voice puppet 19 of the present invention outputs a detection signal to the control unit 5 when the switch 7 detects an external operation caused by pressing the switch button 7a. When the control unit 5 receives the detection signal, it selects one of the conversation numbers based on the random number generated by the random number generation unit, and outputs a control signal corresponding to the conversation number to the vocabulary selection unit 3. The vocabulary selection unit 3 selects an arbitrary vocabulary from the voice information storage unit 1 that stores a plurality of vocabularies, and forms a conversation sentence corresponding to the conversation number selected by the control unit 5.

At this time, when the selected conversational sentence is long, one conversational sentence is constructed from a plurality of vocabularies stored in the speech information storage unit 1 and output to the speech synthesis unit 9 together with the intonation pattern and the like as speech information. . In the voice synthesizing unit 9, a voice is synthesized from the voice information, and a voice is uttered from the speaker 11.

In the conversation generated and synthesized in this manner, when the switch button 7a is pressed, what kind of voice is output is not determined since the conversation sentence is selected by random numbers. It is possible to give a sense of expectation as well as the unexpectedness of the spoken conversation.
