Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an underlay for a cup, and more particularly to an underlay for a cup (such as a coaster and the like) having a built-in audio device for detecting when the contents of the cup are consumed to some extent and outputting a melody.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 With the development of the eating and drinking culture, the drinking culture has changed. In accordance with this, people will drink at a Japanese-style izakaya or quiet bar, alone or in groups of two or three people. At this time, a bar is prepared for the customer from a service point of view, but the underlay has only the function of simply placing a cup.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an underlay of a cup having a built-in audio device for automatically detecting how much the contents in a drink cup is empty and outputting a melody.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an underlay of a cup having a built-in audio device for detecting the empty state of alcohol in the cup and outputting a melody.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a pad-shaped underlay for a cup so that the cup does not fall.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an underlay on which a cup is placed, a weight detection sensor for sensing the total weight of the cup placed on the underlay, and a data storage unit for storing various voice information. A control unit that outputs audio data from the data storage unit in response to an input of a sensing signal output from the weight sensor, and a speaker that converts audio data from the control unit into audible sound and outputs the audio data. A cup underlay having a built-in voice device is provided.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the description of the present invention, a detailed description of related known functions or configurations will be omitted when there is a risk of blurring the gist of the present invention. The various terms described below are defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention, and may be changed according to the intention or custom of a user or a chip designer. Must be based on the general content of the

First, if we look at the concept of an underlay for a cup with a built-in audio device, which is proposed in the present invention, the weight of a cup with alcohol inside the underlay is automatically calculated. A cup configured to detect and output a predetermined melody in response to the detection signal, preferably an interesting sound such as "the cup is empty." The underlay is proposed.

FIG. 1 shows an outer shape of a cupboard with a built-in audio device proposed above according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, an underlay 12 of a cup to be embodied in the present invention is formed in the shape of a stationary table used for charging a mobile phone. Preferably, the cup 10 is inserted and seated. It has a seating section (stationary section) 14 for being stably installed. The stationary portion 14 can have various shapes depending on the shape of the cup 10, but is specifically formed in a cylindrical shape.

A speaker 20, a weight adjustment button 18 and a setting button 16 are provided in front of the underlay 12. The speaker 20 converts the audio data into an audible sound in accordance with a control signal of the control unit 110 described later, and outputs this to the outside. The weight adjustment button 18 is a button that allows the user to arbitrarily adjust the total weight of the cup 10, and is preferably a button for setting the percentage of the total weight of the cup 10 at which a melody is generated. is there. At this time, the weight adjustment button 18 includes an increase button 18a and a decrease button 18b for convenience of use. The setting button 16 is a button for automatically setting the weight when the weight is set by operating the weight adjusting buttons 18a and 18b. For example, if the user wants to set the melody to be generated when the content in the cup 10 is 20% or less, the user presses the setting button 16 after adjusting with the weight adjustment buttons 18a and 18b. The settings are made automatically.

On the other hand, FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the underlay 50 of the cup proposed in the present invention is formed in a plate shape, and is preferably used in a portable computer. It has a structure like a pad-type button. A seating surface (stationary surface) 52 on which the weight sensing sensor 100 is provided is formed at the center of the underlay 50, and the cup 10 containing water or alcohol is placed on the stationary surface 52. Become like On the other hand, the underlay 50 is provided with the speaker 20, the increase button 18a, the decrease button 18b, and the setting button 16 as in the configuration of the first embodiment described above.

FIG. 3 shows the internal structure of the underlay of the cup according to the first and second preferred embodiments of the present invention. In the figure, the weight sensing sensor 100 determines whether or not the cup 10 containing the contents (hereinafter, limited to “liquor”) is placed on the stationary portion 14 or the stationary surface 52 of the underlay 12, 50. It is a sensor that senses The data storage unit 130 is a storage medium that stores various types of audio information, and is preferably a medium that stores funny audio data such as "the cup is empty." At this time, various melodies can be stored in the data storage unit 130.

Meanwhile, the weight input unit 120 receives the switching signals of the increase / decrease buttons 18 a and 18 b and the switching signal of the setting button 16 and transmits the signals to the control unit 110. The control unit 110 is a central processing unit that collects audio data from the data storage unit 130 in response to the input of the sensing signal output from the weight sensing sensor 100, and then outputs the collected audio data to the speaker 20. The control method of the control unit 110 can be easily understood from the description of FIG.

First, the user generates a melody through the weight input unit 120 shown in FIG. 3 when the weight of the cup 10 containing alcohol is desirably what percentage of the weight of the cup 10. Or setting. In the embodiment of the present invention, the melody is set to sound when the total weight of the cup 10 is 20% or less.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4, in step 200, the control unit 110 determines whether or not a signal is input from the weight sensor 100, that is, the cup 10 is placed on the stationary part 14 or the stationary surface 52 of the underlay 12, 50. Determine if you have been. If it is determined that the cup 10 is placed on the stationary section 14 or the stationary surface 52, the control section 110 senses the weight of the cup 10 in step 210. However, if the cup 10 is not placed on the underlay 12, 50 in the step 200, the state returns to the initial state, and no melody is generated.

Next, in step 220, the controller 110 compares the weight set via the weight input unit 120 with the weight of the cup 10 to determine whether the weight is 20% or less of the set weight. If it is determined in this step that the weight of the cup 10 is not more than 20%, the control unit 110 generates a melody in step 230. That is, an audible sound is output through the speaker 20 saying "the cup is empty."

On the other hand, if the cup 10 is filled with alcohol again, the control unit 110 performs the step 210 again.

[0019]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention provides an audio device under the cup, so that even if you do not know that the cup is empty, you can immediately recognize it with a melody, which makes it rude to the other party. Actions can be prevented.

In addition, when a customer drinks alcohol alone at an izakaya or the like, the employee can listen to the melody and immediately pour the alcohol to fill the cup, thereby inducing a favorable impression of the customer. In addition, it has the advantage that it can attract regular customers.
