Abstract

PURPOSE:To output a normal sound synchronously with the operation of an electronic computer, by repeating such the operation as reducing a next special sound signal for synchronization to the input standby state before a normal sound signal part ends. CONSTITUTION:The electronic computer inputs the special sound signal 9 for synchronization firstly by a previously stored program and starts outputting characters, etc., on a display and a printer in response to the input. When the time of said operation is made shorter than the reproduction time of a next normal sound part, the sounding is carried on until a next special sound signal 9' for synchronization is inputted before the sound of a signal part 11 after the operation corresponding to the contents of a sound signal part 11 of a tape 7.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a 1B
After a period of time, a normal voice accompanies the operation and includes information related to the system.

In recent years, with the rapid progress of electronics technology such as integrated circuits, electronic computers have become smaller and cheaper, and these days, so-called personal computers or microcomputers are being used not only for office purposes but also for personal use. It is even becoming popular for use as a 5-row building. With the expansion of the use of electronic computers and the expansion of employment, the security of adding voice input/output functions to electronic computer systems has increased in many ways, especially in the field of computers called personal computers. In terms of purpose, the value of ``necessary housing'' is higher.

In other words, in contrast to conventional operators and programmers, these machines are mostly handled by ordinary individuals, and most of the time they are operated interactively using textual information on a monitor television (CRT) screen. Therefore, CR provides instructions on how to operate the electronic computer system.
It would be extremely easy to understand and convenient if it could be given to the operator by voice in synchronization with the best movements of the T screen and other peripherals.In addition, in these personal and home uses, electronic computer systems are used for games and learning. However, even in these applications, the effectiveness and usefulness of audio explanations and instructions would be undeniable. (!:
Although various research has been carried out on speech recognition devices and speech synthesis devices, there are significant technical and economic constraints for use in personal computers and the like, and they have not yet reached a stage where they can be fully utilized.

The present invention provides an inexpensive and simple system that overcomes these conventional requirements.

In recent years, audio tape recorders have been widely used as inexpensive and simple digital storage devices, and magnetic tapes for audio recording have been widely used as storage media in the aforementioned personal computer systems and the like. in this case,! The digital same number from the child computer is converted into an audio frequency signal by the output device of the electronic computer, recorded as an audio signal on the magnetic tape, and the recorded thing is transferred from the tape! When reading from child computer 1, the reverse conversion is performed and it is converted into a digital signal! It is imported into the child computer. In this case, the audio signal on the magnetic tape (as an analog signal) is supplied to the child computer, which is subjected to various changes by the hardware and/or software of the electronic controller. It is deeply involved as digital data.

The present inventor focused on this point and arrived at the present invention. That is, the present invention is a man who can detect the signal stored on a magnetic tape through a tape recorder. Using the computer itself, the recording signal from the nuclear tape recorder is generated as sound by the speaker, and at the same time, a special audio signal for synchronization is recorded on the same track of the magnetic tape in a state that can be detected by the electronic computer. When running a tape in which normal sound Δ signal parts are stored alternately in succession, a special sound signal for synchronization at the beginning is first inputted using a program stored in the sub-computer code in advance. ! The operation of the slave computer, such as display and print data recording, etc. is started, and the time of the operation is shorter than the playback time of the next normal audio signal portion, and before the normal audio signal portion ends. By repeating the process of placing the electronic computer in a standby state for inputting the next special synchronization sound signal, the normal sound is activated in response to the electronic calculation and excretion operations using the special synchronization sound No. 18 as a synchronization signal. The symptoms that accompany this movement are considered to be hemorrhoid symptoms.

The normal voice or normal audio signal referred to here means real voice, music,
Refers to audible sound waves or signals at audio frequencies such as sound effects.

Special audio for synchronization No. 1 is a block of audio signals that satisfies the following two conditions.

The first condition is that the special audio signal for synchronization is a special audio signal that is included in any of the above normal audio signals.

The second condition is that the signal is supplied to the electronic computer as an analog signal, and the °! When the data is converted by the slave computer's hardware and/or software and imported as digital data,
The audio signal must be identifiable by the computer as a certain data value (hereinafter referred to as "corresponding digital data" or "digital data"). There are various ways to satisfy these two conditions.

For example, in order to satisfy the first condition, first, from the normal audio signal, take out the low frequency range within the range that does not affect the frequency, or increase the high frequency range, and then add the low frequency range and the high frequency range. - a frequency or a combination of frequencies;

By doing so, the special audio signal for synchronization is formed, and the corresponding digital data satisfies the second condition at a frequency that can be clearly identified! : This is a method of selecting a combination of θ or frequencies.

According to this method, the special audio signal for synchronization can be inserted without causing ear blindness. In this case, the frequency is 500 Hz or less, or 3 KHz or more, preferably 300 Hz or less, or 5 KHz or less.
It is better to use a frequency band of KHz or higher; a wave number band. In another example, the corresponding digital data is prepared in advance, and a special audio signal for synchronization that gives this digital data is created in one step by using a total of 8 electronic devices to create 4 in 1 step. .

Audio signal 1. Although the method is not limited to these examples, it is possible to play back the audio tape created in this way, repeat the calculation at regular intervals with an electronic computer, import it as digital data, and make judgments. For example, digital data that should be synchronized is not detected in two minutes of audio blindness.
Corresponding digital data is obtained only in the special audio signal portion for synchronization.

In a preferred implementation of the present invention, the normal audio signal corresponding to 1/': i-Jin-sei-sei-kochi' is γ! In the sub-equivalent arrangement, ′(
, + Only the special audio signal for synchronization is input to the computer IC without any influence, and is used as a synchronization signal for synchronizing the audio explanation and the operation of the computer.

The invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. The NIS' is a main body of a multiplex calculation a, and the second calculation main body 1tt- is equipped with a central idle control device, an internal storage device, an input/output control device 4, and the like. It is a 2-digit tape recorder, 3 is a signal output device from the magnetic tape, 4'-i speaker, and 5 is an external output terminal. 6 other external peripheral devices,
These include CRTs, printers, disk storage devices, etc. The signal output from the signal output device of the magnetic tape 3 is made to be simultaneously outputted to the speaker 4 and to the external device 5, so that audible sound is generated and also outputted to the computer. In tape recorders where the output of the speaker 4 is normally automatically disconnected when the input terminal of the main unit is connected to the external output terminal 5, it is necessary to prevent such disconnection from occurring by internal modification or an adapter.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the magnetic tape 7, and 8 is a track on one side of the tape. 9 is a special audio signal part for synchronization, 10
The blank space is .minutes, and 11 is the normal audio signal portion. In principle, the signal arrangement is such that a special audio signal 9 for synchronization is placed before a normal audio signal corresponding to a specific operation of the computer to synchronize the audio.

Note that the blank portion 10 [can be omitted if necessary.

The digital data corresponding to MJ period special old voice wound number 9 is set as a specific classification symbol, and when the electronic computer reads the classification symbol, it is triggered and at the same time, the next normal audio signal is determined by the classification symbol. An electronic computer may execute an action corresponding to the content, or the digital data may not have a specific meaning and may be used as a trigger.

/ The opening time from one special synchronization sound signal 9 to the next special synchronization sound signal 1 and 9' can be set arbitrarily, but if it is long, the audio explanation during that time will take several minutes, and the electronic total 1
There is a high possibility that there will be several types of bale movements. in this case,
Synchronization at the intermediate point involves synchronizing with the computer's own timer Oki 1, but since the tape recorder's tape feeding speed may have an error of more than 10 inches, the interval should not be set too long. Douyoshi becomes troubled.

For this reason, the special audio signals for synchronization are separated by 5.
Practical time is less than 3 minutes, preferably less than 3 minutes.

When running a magnetic tape adjusted as shown in Fig. 2 in a computer system arranged as shown in Fig. 1, the computer first sends a special audio signal 9 for synchronization according to a program stored in the computer in advance. Input: In response to this input, the electronic meter J4-Fa starts operations such as displaying characters, drawings, etc. on the display or printer, or recording or reading data to the front beat screen device. If we do this and make the time for this operation shorter than the playback time of the next normal audio part, the audio signal on tape 7? - Performed the corresponding action based on the contents of IX minute 11. Before the voice of the male signal portion 11 ends, the sounding continues until the next special voice signal 9' for synchronization is input. In this case, the 1·τ calculation deflection will result in sounding the normal audio portion 11 until it encounters the next special audio signal 9' for synchronization, but as described above, In 2T/V, the electronic computer does not react at all until the next special synchronization sound signal 9' is input, and when this special synchronization sound signal 9' is input, It synchronizes for the first time, and moves coaxially with the translation of the next normal audio part, Akira.

It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned examples, but can be modified in many ways.

For example, if the computer has 0N10FF*1 power on the tape recorder motor, the tape can be stopped at will.
E. The present invention can be carried out more suitably by feeding. Furthermore, for example, a device may be installed in which the speakers that output the normal sound are set to 0N10F and F by signals from a program stored in advance in the nuclear thunderbolt computer through a part of the input/output device outside the nuclear electronic calculation model. By installing this, it is possible to prevent normal sounds that are no longer necessary for the progress of the program from being generated as audible sounds to the outside, depending on the judgment of the program.

By using the system and magnetic tape according to the present invention described above, interaction with a computer, which conventionally used only text information such as CRT screens and manuals, can be changed to voice explanations, making it easier to monitor. It can bring great convenience to various fields.

According to the system and tape of the present invention, the tape recorder may be of a single head, making the device simple and inexpensive.

Furthermore, tapes require eight steps to adjust and copy a master tape in order to be mass-produced, but the process is simple because it uses a single track and uses the same audio frequency. Note that the program for the electronic calculation □4 that controls the tape can also be stored on the tape as a series of digital audio signals, so the program can also be stored in part on the same track or on the opposite track of the tape. It is easy and convenient to do so.
