Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the maintenance of storage of an input information to be needed in another day and to enable the elimination of lapse of memory, by storing the input information to be needed in another day and by reading out this information at a prescribed time and on a prescribed date. CONSTITUTION:When an input information to be needed on another day is set and inputted from a keyboard 5, a write signal is transmitted from a storage control circuit 10 to RAM 6 for video, and this input information is thereby stored in the RAM 6. When an information maintenance date or an information output time or the like is inputted to an output time setting means 8, setting is completed. When the information output time is set by the means 8, this information output time and the present time indicated by a clock 1 are compared with each other by a comparator circuit 9. When these times coincide with each other, a control signal is outputted from the circuit 9 to the circuit 10, and a read signal is sent from this circuit 10 to the RAM 6. Then a character information read out of the RAM 6 is converted into a video signal in a character signal conversion circuit 15 and this signal is sent to an output control circuit 12. This video signal is outputted as a character on a screen of TV 13.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a system for timely reproducing input information, and in particular, it relates to a system for reproducing input information in a timely manner. TV screen or TV at a predetermined time.
This invention relates to a system for reproducing input information in a timely manner through voice notification.

(Conventional technology) Conventionally, there were things scheduled ahead of the current time or things that should not be forgotten (input information that would be required at a later date), such as "I have a plan to go out at a certain time" or "What day and time do I have an appointment?" If so, please take notes or record the matter yourself.
I would ask someone else to give me advice so I wouldn't forget.

In addition, input information was stored in a notebook-sized data memory device or the like, and its contents were checked when necessary.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In the past, input information required at a later date was stored and retained by relying on one's own or another person's memory, so the retention of the input information was ambiguous, and it was difficult to input it into a data memory device etc. Even if the information is memorized, the device must be used to confirm the input information, and if the user forgets to do so, it is no different from relying on human memory as described above. Furthermore, conventional timer devices only perform predetermined operations other than notifying the time at a set time.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a timely reproduction system for input information that can easily store and retain input information required at a later date and eliminate forgetting.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention includes a clock means for measuring the current time, an information input means for inputting input information required at a later date, a storage means for storing this input information, and a setting method. timekeeping comparison means for outputting a control signal when an output start time set to output the input information for a predetermined time over a predetermined date and time and a current time measured by the clock means; When the input information is input to the input means, the input information is outputted to the storage means, and when the control signal is output from the time measurement comparison means, the input information is stored in the storage means. a main information source; an output control means for simultaneously or selectively outputting the main information and the input information read from the storage means; and information output means for outputting the main information and the input information.

(Operation) According to the present invention, input information that will be required at a later date is stored in the storage means, and this input information is read out from the storage means at a predetermined time and over a predetermined date and time. Since information is output simultaneously or selectively to the information output means, if you have a habit of viewing a large amount of information at a predetermined time using this information output means, you can output the input information at a predetermined time at a predetermined time. It is possible to automatically confirm the date and time, and as a result, the input information can be easily stored and retained, and forgetting and the like can be avoided.

(Example) Hereinafter, a preferred first example of the present invention will be described in detail. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an input information timely reproduction system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a clock means for measuring the current time (for example, a reference clock generation circuit 2,
(a clock consisting of a clock circuit 3 and a time setting circuit 4), 5 is an information input means (for example, a keyboard) for inputting information required at a later date, 6 is a storage means for storing input information (for example, a video RAM), 7 is a setting Time comparison means (for example, output time setting) that outputs a control signal when the output start time set to output input information for a predetermined time over a predetermined date and time matches the current time measured by the clock means 1. (means consisting of means 8 and comparison circuit 9), 10
When input information is input to the information input means 5, this input information is written into the storage means 6, and when the control signal is output from the time measurement comparison means 7, the input information stored in the storage means 6 is written. 11 is a main information source for inputting main information;
[For example, E-E from a VTR (video tape recorder)
(Electric to Electric) output], 12 is an output control means (for example, an output control circuit) that outputs this large amount of information and the input information read from the storage means 6 simultaneously or selectively; 13 is an output control means 12
The information output means (for example, T (television)) outputs the main information and the input information output from the main information. 14 is a digital signal conversion circuit that converts the analog signal into a digital signal when the input information inputted from the information input means 5 is an analog signal, and 15 converts the input information read from the storage means 6 into a video signal. This is a character signal conversion circuit that converts

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained based on the drawings. The clock 1 measures the current time by counting clock pulses generated by a reference clock generating circuit 2 with a time measuring circuit 3, and the initial setting of the clock 1 is performed by the output of a time setting circuit 4. In this case, when input information (for example, "scheduled location and date and time," rTV program information, and "recording reservation content") that will be required at a later date is entered from the keyboard 5, it is written from the storage control circuit 10 to the video RAM 6. A signal is transmitted and this input information is stored in this video RAM 6. Next, when the information retention date and time, the information output time, etc. are input to the output time setting means 8, the setting is completed. In reality, for example, if you plan to go out at 12 o'clock on the 28th, you can use the keyboard 5 to select "28th", "12 o'clock", and "going out".
Enter the text information etc. And the person who set it up is at 8:00 am every day.
In consideration of watching TV (television) at 8:00 AM, the output time setting means 8 sets the information output time to 8:00 AM.
When set to 0, the comparison circuit 9 compares this information output time with the current time indicated by the clock 1. When the information output time and the current time match, a control signal is output from the comparison circuit 9 to the storage control circuit 10, and a read signal is sent from the storage control circuit 10 to the video RAM 6.

Then, the character information read from the video RAM 6 is converted into a video signal by the character signal conversion circuit 15 and sent to the output control circuit 12. This video signal is then superimposed (on-screen) on the E-E output from the VTR, and is output as text on the screen of the TV 13 for several seconds at 8:00 every morning until the 28th.

If the output time setting means 8 resets the information retention date and time from "28th" to "27th" after setting the character information, for example, every time the VTR is turned on from three days ago, or Each time the power is turned on, the input information "27th" is superimposed on the E-E output from the VTR and output to TM01.

From the above, according to this embodiment, for example, "28th"
, "12 o'clock", "going out", etc. can be easily stored and retained using the video RAM 6, and since this input information is displayed on-screen as text information on the TV 13 at a fixed time every day, this necessity can be saved. It is possible to prevent forgetting of input information.

A second preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an input information timely reproduction system according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Components that are the same as those shown in the block diagram of FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals, and a portion of their description will be omitted. Second
In the figure, 25 is an information input means (for example, a cassette tape deck in which a cassette tape is set) for inputting information required at a later date, and 26 is a storage means for storing input information (
For example, a cassette tape deck containing recorded cassette tapes.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained based on the drawings. As shown in FIG. 2, the difference from the first embodiment is that the keyboard 5 is replaced by a cassette tape deck 25 in which a cassette tape is set, and the video RAM 6 is replaced by a cassette tape deck 26 in which a recorded cassette tape is set. Another point is that the character signal conversion circuit 15 is removed.

After actually recording the input information required at a later date as audio information on a cassette tape, this cassette tape deck 26 is connected to TM01 via the output control means 12, and the information output time is set to ΔM 8 :OO. Every morning at 8:
The information recorded on the cassette tape is played back several times starting from 00, and is selectively output and played back as TV audio.

From the above, according to this embodiment, for example, "28th"
By using the cassette tape deck 26, it is easy to store and retain input information that will be required at a later date, such as , ``12 o'clock,'' ``going out'', etc., and this input information is played as audio information on the TV at a fixed time every day. It is possible to prevent input information from being forgotten.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the input information timely reproduction system of the present invention, it is possible to easily store and retain input information required at a later date, thereby eliminating forgetting and the like.
