Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a talisman having a new function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An amulet is a talisman (main body of an amulet) issued by a temple or a shrine in an amulet bag, and it is well known that it has existed for a long time.

[0003]

However, the amulet itself does not show a specific function, but rather has the side of the owner who believes that the mysterious power is lurking in the amulet inside. It only unilaterally and subjectively adds value to the talisman.

[0004] Despite the fact that an amulet is as described above, it is a strict fact that it has existed since long ago and has been inherited by religious people. From this fact, an amulet is an object of religion. It cannot be denied that it has a special function.

An object of the present invention is to provide a new talisman with a new function added thereto without impairing the above-mentioned talisman function.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a storage device of a semiconductor integrated circuit which digitally stores voices such as a sutra and the like, and reading of stored contents of the storage device is started. A start button for receiving the content stored in the storage device via a digital-analog converter and an amplifier, and a speaker for converting the content into audio, a control device for controlling and integrating these components, and a power supply. A voice loudspeaker is formed by storing the voice loudspeaker in a flat case, and the voice loudspeaker is stored in an amulet bag in a state of being overlapped with an amulet.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a voice utterance, reference numeral 2 denotes an amulet, and reference numeral 3 denotes a talisman bag. The talisman according to the present invention is provided in the talisman bag 3 in a state where the voice utterance 1 and the talisman 2 are superimposed on each other. It will be stored in.

The amulet 2 is an amulet body issued by a shrine or a temple. For example, there is a talisman constructed by writing or drawing characters or pictures on paper or board material, or the structure is kept secret.

In any case, the amulet 2 is no different from that of a conventional amulet. Therefore, in order to store together the amulet 2 and the voice utterance 1 which could not be inserted conventionally,
The amulet bag 3 is larger than the conventional one.

On the other hand, the sound generator 1 is configured, for example, as described below. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the start button 4 (see FIG. 1), which is an electric switch, is pressed, and the obtained start signal SS is supplied to the storage device 6 via the address control device 5.

The storage device 6 is a voice of a monk or priest reading or singing a sutra such as a mysterious shrine, a celebration of a shrine, a shrine or a shinto priest. This is a read-only memory device (ROM: read only memory) using a semiconductor integrated circuit that stores (hereinafter, simply referred to as voice of reading sutra) as a digital electric signal.

The storage device 6 samples audio frequencies, such as a sutra, at regular time intervals, converts the obtained analog electric signal into a digital signal by an analog-to-digital converter, and serves as a storage device for a personal computer or the like. It is digitally stored in a memory of a used semiconductor integrated circuit.

The storage of the audio signal in the storage device 6 will be described in further detail. The real voice such as a sutra is dropped on an analog tape or a DAT tape on an open reel, and the real voice as an analog signal is pulse-coded using a dedicated development tool. The data is modulated and converted into PCM (pulse code modulation) data.

The PCM data is converted into a HEX code (hex code: 16-digit binary signal), and the obtained 2-byte signal is stored in a predetermined address and stored in ROM as a mask.

The storage device 6 has features that it has no mechanical movable parts like a tape recorder, and thus has a long life and few failures, and also makes it possible to extremely reduce the size of an audio recording / reproducing device. .

A sound generating device using such a storage device is used, for example, in a camera or office equipment to perform various warnings by sound, or is built in the core of toilet paper, and plays music or the like every time it is used. It has been used for a long time for sounding, and its configuration itself is well known.

Returning to FIG. 2, the audio signal DS as a digital signal is sequentially extracted from the storage device 6 at the sampling timing, and is passed through the PCM synthesizer 7 to restore the HEX data to the PCM data.

Thereafter, the PCM data is passed through a DA (digital-analog) converter 8 to be converted into an audio signal AS as an analog signal carrying the audio signal.

The audio signal AS as an analog signal is supplied to a speaker 11 via a low-pass filter 9 and an amplifier 10, and the speaker 11 reproduces the original sound such as a sutra.

As the speaker 11, a piezoelectric speaker is more preferable than a so-called moving coil type speaker. This is because the piezoelectric type can be made thinner.

FIG. 3 shows a specific configuration of the sound generator 1. That is, as shown in FIG. 3 (B), the flat case 20 is composed of two first shells 21 and second shells 22 that can be separated and connected like a bivalve, and these first and second shells are formed. Between the shells 21 and 22, the start button 4, the voice synthesis LSI 12 described below, the amplifier 10, the speaker 11, the batteries 13 and 13, etc. are appropriately arranged and fixed, and the first and second buttons are provided.
The shells 21 and 22 are put together and then closed to constitute the sound generator 1.

In the illustrated embodiment, the speech synthesis L
The SI 12 is a semiconductor integrated circuit in which the address control device 5, storage device 6, PCM synthesizer 7, DA converter 8, and low-pass filter 9 shown in FIG.

It is to be noted that the speaker 11 is a second speaker shown in FIG.
It may be arranged on the back side of the many small hole openings of the shell (see FIGS. 3, A and B).

The address control device 5 has its control program set so that after the operation of the start button 4, all voices such as sutras stored in the storage device 6 are taken out and then automatically returned to the standby state. It is assumed that

The amulet constructed as described above according to the present invention can be worn as a talisman as well as a normal amulet, and besides, as shown in FIG. Press 3) to start the sound generator,
The speaker 11 is pressed against the ear to hear sounds such as sutras flowing out of the speaker.

[0026] In this case, if you listen to the chanting of a high priest, for example, the chanting of a magical young man, the heart of devotion and the specific voice of the chanting that can be heard in the ears, it will be easy to enter into a joyful environment. Can be reached.

In addition, when the speaker is a piezoelectric speaker, the voice such as the sutra can be heard only by the person wearing the amulet. Therefore, even when there is a person around, the sound is heard at any time without concern for the person. be able to.

In the illustrated embodiment, the start button 4 protrudes from the case 1 for clarity of the drawing (see FIG. 1). Inconvenience that the start button is pressed carelessly also occurs.

In order to prevent inadvertent activation of the sound generator,
The surface of the activation button 4 may be retracted from the outer surface of the case 1. In this case, the activation button is pushed from the outside of the amulet bag 3 with the tip of a matchstick or the like.

[0030]

As is evident from the above description, according to the present invention, a sound generator is stored together with an amulet in an amulet bag.
By operating the activation button, you can listen to the voice of the sutra, etc. at any time and without worrying about the people around you. You can lead to the border.

Also, since human voices such as human sutras are specific and impressive, the voice of human talismans is more a talisman than a conventional amulet, in which only amulets, which are abstract, are stored in an amulet bag. It has various effects, such as not only increasing the feeling and giving a person the will to carry this talisman at any time, but also giving the talisman a function as a kind of toy for adults and the elderly. .
