A terminal 79 for outputting video data and a terminal 8o for outputting audio data are connected to the output port door 6.

Reference numeral 81 is a microphone for injecting the voice message of the person receiving the award onto the business card 1, and the output voice signal of the microphone 81 is input to the voice signal processing circuit 33. The audio signal processing circuit 33 performs processing such as amplification, noise removal, and pre-emphasis on the audio signal, and the output signal of the audio signal processing circuit 33 is input to the A/D converter 34. The audio data converted into a digital signal by the A/D converter 34 is input to the microcomputer 71 via the input port 2.

82 is a video camera, and the output video signal of the video camera 82 is input to the video signal processing circuit 43. In the video signal processing circuit 43, signal processing such as T-correction of the video signal, clamping of the black level, and clipping of the dynamic range is performed, and the output video signal of the video signal processing circuit 43 is input to the A/D converter 44. Ru. A/D converter 44
The video data converted into digital signals is input to the microcomputer 71 via the input port door 2.

A speech synthesis circuit 83 is connected to the output port door 6 of the microcomputer 71, and the speech synthesis circuit 83 reconfigures the audio data output from the output port door 6 as an audio signal. The output signal of the voice synthesis circuit 83 is input to a D/A converter 84, where it is converted into an analog voice signal. The output audio signal of the D/A converter 84 is passed through an amplifier 85 which also has a de-emphasis function.
The signal is amplified to sufficient power to drive the speaker 86 and supplied to the speaker 86.

A D/A converter 87 for video signals is connected to the output port door 6 of the microcomputer 71, and the D/A converter 87 converts video data into an analog video signal. The video signal output from the D/A converter 87 is input to a video signal processing circuit 88, where it undergoes signal processing such as addition of a blanking signal and clamping, and encoding into a composite video signal such as an NTS signal. etc., and output to a monitor 89 such as a liquid crystal display element.

Next, the operation of the business card reproducing device 60 shown in FIG. 6 will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, when the power is turned on and the business card reproducing device 60 starts operating, it is checked whether the business card 1 is inserted into the business card reproducing device 60 (step S). This operation is performed by a sensor (not shown) provided in the business card reproducing device 60 detecting the presence or absence of the business card 1. If no business card is inserted, the business card reproducing device 60 is checked again for insertion and remains in a standby state until a business card is inserted.

When a business card is inserted, it is checked whether the recording button of the business card playback device 60 is turned on, that is, whether the business card playback device 60 is in the recording mode. When the business card playback device 60 is in the recording mode, the video signal from the video camera 82 is subjected to various signal processing by the video signal processing circuit 43, as shown in FIG.
The digital video data is converted into digital video data by the /D converter 44 and input to the input port door 2 of the microcomputer 71.

The video data input to this input port door 2 is
The video data is outputted from the output port door 6 via the output port 74 and stored in the storage means 2 for the video data of the business card 1 via the child 79.
is memorized. At the same time, the video data is output from the output port door 6 to the D/A converter 87, and after various video signal processing is performed in the video signal processing circuit 88, the video data is output to the monitor 8.
9, and the status of the video data written on the business card I can be confirmed on the monitor (step S). While recording is being performed in this manner, video signals are sequentially sent to the storage means 2 of the business card 1 and at the same time are sent to the monitor 89 (step S).

Incidentally, the video data may be written from the video camera 82 into the storage means 2 of the business card 1 at any time in this manner, or a ROM may be used as the storage means 2 to specify a mask pattern when ordering printing on the front side of the business card 1. It may be arranged so that it cannot be rewritten once it has been written. In this way, as described above, misuse of the business card 1 can be prevented.

When recording is completed or when the recording mode switch is not operated and the recording mode is not set, it is checked whether the recording mode switch is operated (step S).

When the recording button of the business card playback device 60 is operated to enter the recording mode, the audio signal input from the microphone 81 is subjected to processing such as amplification, noise removal, and pre-emphasis in the audio signal processing circuit 33. Thereafter, it is converted into digital audio data by the A/D converter 34 and inputted from the input port door 2 of the microcomputer 71. The audio data input from the input port door 2 is stored in the audio data storage means 3 of the business card 1 from the audio data terminal 80 of the output port door 6 via the CPU 74. At the same time, the audio data is outputted from the output port door 6 to the audio synthesis circuit 83, synthesized into an audio signal, converted into an analog audio signal by the D/A converter 84, and outputted as audio from the speaker 86 via the amplifier 85. (Step S,
). While the recording continues in this manner, the voice data is sequentially output to the storage means 3 of the business card 1 and the voice synthesis circuit 83 (step S). When the recording ends, the business card playback device 60 ends its operation.

Regarding this voice data, as described above, by using ROM or FROM as the storage means 3, misuse of the business card 1 can be prevented.

Next, if it is neither video recording mode nor audio recording mode, the inserted name 1TIJ 1 storage means 2.3
Audio data and/or video data from terminal 77.78
The data is read out to the microcomputer 71 via the microcomputer 71 (step S). This read audio data and/or video data is temporarily written to a predetermined address in the RAM 75 of the microcomputer 71 (step 59).
Next, audio data and video data are read from this RAM 75 (step S1°), and the audio data is sent to the audio synthesis circuit 83 and the video data to the D/A converter 87 for video signals via the output port door 6. Output (step S,...
).

The audio data output to the audio synthesis circuit 83 is synthesized as an audio signal by the audio synthesis circuit 83, then converted to an analog audio signal by the D/A converter 84, and reproduced from the speaker 86 via the amplifier 85.

The video data output to the D/A converter 87 is input to the video signal processing circuit 88 as analog video data by the D/A converter 87, and the video signal processing circuit 88 adds blanking, sets the black level, etc. After the signal processing is performed, the signal is displayed on the monitor 89.

In this way, while the audio signal and/or video signal stored in the business card 1 is being played back, the above-described operation is repeated, but when the playback of the audio signal and/or video signal is finished, the business card playback device 60 ends its operation (step 512).

It should be noted that a plurality of business cards may be inserted into the business card reproducing device 60, so that the reproduction of the next business card may be started immediately after the reproduction of the - number of business cards is completed.

[Effects of the Invention] In the business card and business card reproducing device of the present invention, the business card is provided with a storage means for storing a video signal and/or an audio signal, and the business card reproducing device side stores data from the storage means provided in the business card. Since it is possible to replay the voice message and/or video by reading the information, or to newly memorize the voice message and/or video, it becomes possible to clearly reconfirm the impression of the person depicted on the business card. By putting a lot of information on a business card, the business card receiver can record or record various message contents depending on the type of recipient.
