[0031]
Together with the operation of the central control unit 11 with reference to FIG. 3 is the next functional block diagram, a description is given of broadcast intellectual stop operation.
[0032]
At the current time counting unit 11-2 RTC: time by the clock output by the (R eal T ime C lock real-time measuring device) 12, and counts a, based on the time set in the current time setting unit 11-1 The current time is being measured every moment. The notification time setting unit 11-3 switches to the notification time setting mode by menu means (not shown), and stores the desired notification time input by the user in the notification time memory 16-3 of the RAM 16.
[0033]
The comparison unit 11-4 reads the notification time stored in the notification time memory 16-3 of the RAM 16, and compares the notification time with the current time counted by the current time counting unit 11-2. If the current time and the notification time are the same, a signal is output to the alarm driver 11-5, and the alarm is driven by the alarm driver 11-5.
[0034]
The alarm drive by the alarm drive unit 11-5 may be a sound output from the speaker 5 or vibration of the motor 20 driven by the motor drive unit 21, or may be driven by light such as blinking of the input / output unit 2. It may be a thing. The alarm driver 11-5 outputs a signal to the counter when the alarm driving is started, and the counter 11-6 measures the time from the start of the alarm driving by the clock signal from the RTC 12.
[0035]
Normally, the notification stop valid key switching unit 11-8 holds the stop key 4-1 as a notification stop valid key, and outputs a signal to the input key determination unit 11-9. The input key determination unit 11-9 determines whether or not the same key as the key signal output from the notification stop valid key switching unit 11-8 in the keyboard 4 is pressed.
[0036]
At present, the key signal of the stop key 4-1 is output from the notification stop valid key switching unit 11-8, and the input key determination unit 11-9 determines whether or not the stop key 4-1 has been pressed. . When the stop key 4-1 is pressed, a signal is output from the input key determination unit 11-9 to the alarm driving unit 11-5, and the alarm driving unit 11-5 stops the alarm.
[0037]
Further, the comparison unit 11-7 compares the value of the counter 11-6 with the value of the fixed time memory 16-4 of the RAM 16 to determine whether or not a fixed time has elapsed after the alarm driving. When a certain period of time has elapsed after the alarm driving, a signal is output from the comparison unit 11-7 to the notification stop valid key switching unit 11-8, and in response to this signal, the notification stop valid key switching unit 11-8 stops. From the key 4-1, all keys in the keyboard 4 are switched as notification stop valid keys.
[0038]
The input key determination unit 11-8 determines whether an arbitrary key in the keyboard 4 is pressed instead of the specific key, based on a signal from the notification stop valid key switching unit 11-8. When an arbitrary key is pressed, a signal is output from the input key determination unit 11-9 to the alarm driving unit 11-5, and the alarm driving unit 11-5 stops the alarm.
[0039]
With the above operation, the alarm can be stopped when the stop key is pressed during the alarm driving, or when any key is pressed when a certain time has elapsed after the alarm driving.
[0040]
Next, the above operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step 1, the set notification time stored in the notification time memory 16-3 of the RAM 16 is read, and in step 2, the current time is measured by the clock signal from the RTC 12.
[0041]
In STEP 3, the notification time read in STEP 1 is compared with the current time measured in STEP 2, and in STEP 4, it is determined whether the current time and the notification time are the same. If the current time and the notification time are not the same, the process returns to STEP 2. If the current time and the notification time are the same, the alarm is driven in STEP 5. The alarm at this time may be due to sound, vibration due to a motor, or due to light such as blinking of the input / output unit 2.
[0042]
In STEP 6, the time from the start of alarm driving is counted. In STEP 7, it is determined whether or not the stop key 4-1 has been pressed. If the stop key 4-1 has been pressed, the process proceeds to STEP 10. If the stop key 4-1 has not been pressed, the alarm drive start time measured in STEP 8 in STEP 6 is compared with the fixed time memory 16-4 in the RAM 16 to determine whether the time is constant after the alarm drive. Determine if time has passed.
[0043]
If the fixed time has not elapsed after the alarm is driven, the process returns to STEP6. If a certain time has elapsed after the alarm is driven, the process waits until an arbitrary key is pressed in STEP9. When any key is pressed, the process proceeds to STEP10.
[0044]
When the stop key is pressed during alarm driving, or when an arbitrary key is pressed when a certain time has elapsed after alarm driving, the alarm is stopped in STEP 10 and the processing is terminated.
[0045]
In addition, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above and shown in the drawings, and it is needless to say that the present invention can be appropriately modified and implemented without departing from the scope of the invention.
[0046]
