たり誤操作の要因ともなるという欠点があつた。Conventional configuration and its problems If you combine the automatic channel selection function using an electronic tuner and the voice production function using voice synthesis means, you can hear the name of the selected broadcasting station aloud, which is very convenient. . However, even on the same frequency, different broadcasting stations may exist in different locations. For example, TV Channel 12 is a commercial station in Tokyo, but in Osaka it is NHK Educational Television. The same thing can also happen with radio signals such as FM. Therefore, it is necessary to store several broadcasting station names for one frequency, and configure the system so that only a certain broadcasting station name is output depending on the area where the signal is currently being received. In order to achieve this, it is possible to input a predetermined signal for each region, but whether you use a switch or program by inputting a predetermined decoded signal, the end result is that the user has to operate the This has the disadvantage that it is difficult to operate and can lead to erroneous operations.

いだかせないためにも有効である。 Next, when several broadcasting stations use the same frequency in different areas, the operation of correctly selecting and uttering the name of the broadcasting station in the current receiving area will be described. First, when the operation switch 3 for automatic broadcasting station name setting described above is operated, the program starts from step 21 of the flowchart of FIG. When the program starts, the first step is step 21.
The muting circuit 5 is operated to prevent the reproduced output from the electronic tuner 1 from being transmitted to the next stage (not shown). Next, in step 22, the currently received frequency 0 is stored in the temporary storage means (RAM) in the microcomputer 2, and then in step 23, automatic tuning is started. This automatic tuning is performed by issuing a control signal from the microcomputer 2 to the electronic tuner 1 via the connection 1c shown in FIG. In this automatic tuning, the reception frequency is automatically swept, and when the next broadcasting station signal is received (step 24), the reception frequency is stored in the RAM of the microcomputer 2 (at a different address) in step 25.
Automatic tuning is started again in step 26.
Therefore, by the above operation, several reception frequencies are detected and stored until frequency 0 is detected again (step 27). The above-mentioned steps 24 to 26 make one round of the receiving band, or one round of the receiving band without detecting another station during reception, and the frequency is returned to the same frequency.
If 0 is detected, the process advances from step 27 to step 28, where the automatic tuning operation is stopped and the process continues.
Based on the combination of the reception frequencies of the few stations detected and stored in steps 24 and 25, the region is determined in step 29, and a broadcasting station name corresponding to the reception frequency suitable for that region is set. Furthermore, the voice synthesizer 4 is driven to vocalize the name of the broadcasting station in step 30, muting is canceled in step 31, and the playback output of the broadcasting station with frequency 0 is sent to the next stage so that the broadcast can be heard. becomes. Note that step 33 indicates that the automatic tuning operation described above is in progress. Normally, it takes several seconds to sweep within one band, and the output is muted during this time, so it is effective to avoid causing anxiety to the operator. be.

This makes it possible to determine the broadcasting stations in that area, which is very convenient. Therefore, this receiving device is suitable for television receivers, in-vehicle tuner devices, etc., and can greatly improve operability.
