Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a telephone dial sounding device which outputs the corresponding sound signal from each push-button whenever a user presses the push- button by providing a connecting means and a sound output device to the sounding device. CONSTITUTION: A control means 13 detects a signal line NK indicating the state of the hook button of a dial device 11 and, when HKS is 'low', actuates a telephone sound device, because the 'low' state indicates the busy state of a telephone set. When the telephone set is busy, the control means 13 is actuated and, when a user presses one key on a keyboard 12, a dial device 11 scans the push-button dialing state of the keyboard 12 and obtains a certain button dial signal. Then the dial device 11 transmits the dial signal to the control means 13 and the means 13 discriminates whether the dial signal is from a digital button or a functional button. Then the corresponding sound signal is outputted from each push-button.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an audio device, and more particularly to a telephone dial audio device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Since the invention of the telephone, it is possible to exchange voice and voice between two separate points by electrical means and reproduce it again at the other party's point into voice. It became possible. Therefore, it is already known that it is possible to talk to a remote party by simply turning or pushing the dial.

[0003]

However, since a person with low vision or blindness cannot clearly see the push button on the keyboard, there is a possibility that he / she may not be able to dial accurately when inputting a telephone number into the keyboard for transmission. There was the inconvenience of having to borrow the help of a person.

Particularly, in recent years, pushbuttons of telephone keyboards have other types of function buttons in addition to digital buttons, and the positions of pushbuttons designed by the manufacturer are not the same. There is a problem that the position of the push button cannot be confirmed further, and the input of the telephone number and the use of the function button cannot be performed smoothly.

Further, even a person with normal eyesight may make a mistake in dialing a telephone number. Therefore, if the user can output the corresponding button sound each time the user presses one button during a call, it can be determined whether or not the push button pressed by the button sound is accurate. The idea is that you don't have to rent a car and you don't have to check the one with normal eyesight every time you press the push button, you can check the position of the push button even in the dark, and you do not have to worry about dialing numbers. It has been devised.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a telephone dial voice apparatus in which when a user presses a push button, a voice corresponding to the push button is generated and the user can confirm whether or not the pushed button is correct. is there.

[0007]

The telephone dial voice apparatus of the present invention for achieving the above object is a telephone dial voice apparatus having a telephone equipped with a keyboard and a dial, and is electrically connected to the dial. Then, the control means for detecting and outputting the push button dial signal input by the user, and the correspondence of each push button electrically connected to the control means and receiving the push button dial signal and input by the user And a voice output means for transmitting voice one by one.

The control means further comprises a storage unit for recording the push button dial data input by the user, so that when the push button pressed by the user is a redial button, the control unit. Thus, the voice output means directly outputs the push button dial data recorded in the storage unit.

The voice output device comprises a voice IC for switching the push button dial signal into a voice signal and a speaker for transmitting the voice signal.

The keyboard includes a digital button and a function button, and the control means is a microphone controller.
The storage unit is a constant velocity call storage device (RAM) inside the microcontroller.

[0011]

According to the present invention, the telephone dial voice device is provided with the control means and the voice output device so that each time the user presses the push button, the corresponding voice signal is output from each push button.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A telephone dial voice apparatus of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a telephone dial voice apparatus according to the present invention. In the figure, the telephone dial voice apparatus is electrically connected to a dial device 11 in a telephone and a control means 1 having a storage unit 131 is provided.
3, a keyboard 12 electrically connected to the dial device 11, and a voice output means 14 including a voice IC 141 and a speaker 142.

FIG. 2 is an operation flowchart of the device of the present invention.

The operation of the apparatus of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The control means 13 is a dial 11
Signal line HKS indicating the state of the hook button of
If KS is LOW, it means that the user is using the telephone, and the control means 13 activates the telephone voice device. On the other hand, when HKS is HIGH, the telephone is in an idle state, and in this case, the control means puts the telephone voice device into the stop mode and puts it in the standby state so that the consumption of electricity can be saved.

When the telephone is busy, the control means 13 enters the operating state, and when the user pushes one button on the keyboard 12, the dial 11 scans the push button dial status of the keyboard 12. Get push button dial signal. Then, the dial device 11 transmits the dial signal to the control means 13, and the control means 13 determines whether the dial signal is a digital button or a function button. If it's a digital button,
The control unit 13 causes the storage unit 131 to record the digital data of the push button and transmits the dial signal to the voice IC 141.

After receiving the voice IC 141, the voice IC 141 transmits a voice signal corresponding to the dial signal to the speaker 142 to utter the voice of the push button. The next push button behaves similarly and repeats until the user stops dialing.

However, when the control means 13 determines that the dial signal input by the dial key 11 is a function button, it is confirmed whether or not it is a redial button. A voice signal is output, but if it is a redial button, the voice of the previous push button dial data stored in the storage unit 131 is finally output by the voice IC.

It goes without saying that the control means 13 may be a micro controller and the storage unit may be a RAM inside the micro controller.

FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram showing a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It goes without saying that adding the telephone dial audio apparatus of the present invention to this circuit does not affect the normal operating state of the telephone dial 11. It suffices to connect the control means 13 to the dial device, and it is not necessary to change the existing circuit.

[0020]

The telephone dial voice apparatus of the present invention is provided with the control means electrically connected to the dial and the voice output means electrically connected to the control means, so that the user can press the push button. Each time you press, a corresponding audio signal is output, so even if you are amblyopia, you can check if the dialed push button is accurate without the help of another person, and also press the next push button. You can check again whether or not the button pressed immediately is correct.
