Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a learning device incorporating a speech synthesis circuit.

In the past, there were building blocks with pictures and letters drawn on them, but they had the drawback that young children could not understand the pronunciation by themselves, and even when they got older and started writing, they could not understand the stroke order.

An object of the present invention is to provide a learning device that allows even young children to memorize the names of pictures, pronunciations, and stroke order while playing.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the appearance of an embodiment of an infant learning device using the present invention.

A display section 1 and a speaker 2 are provided on a panel standing in a direction intersecting a plane.

A single display unit, CRT or liquid crystal, is possible, but considering that the target audience is young children, a dot matrix type liquid crystal display is preferred from the viewpoint of beauty of characters and safety.

The plane part is provided with 25 pictogram blocks 5 with pictures and characters as shown in FIG. 2.

Of course, the number of picture blocks 5 is not limited to 25, but can be up to 255.

Emoji block 5 has 50 [A, I, U, E, O].
In addition to sounds, representative pictures and their names are shown in hiragana or GJ katakana, including voiced sounds and plosive sounds.

On the side of the flat panel? R, Minamoto Suinoko 6, and select switch type 4 to select the play method are arranged.

Let's look at pictogram block 5 in a little more detail.
) There is a name of the picture, and the glass of the electrode material is vapor-deposited.
– is attached to the

On the back side, there is a thick central bin 12 in the center, and four pictogram code pins 13 are arranged on each side of the bin.

The vapor-deposited electrode is a touch switch electrode that detects changes in capacitance, and when a human body touches the glass on two sides of pictogram block 5, the pictogram code pin of pictogram block 20 (J, 8 on the back side) is activated. 22, the emoticon block [1 tsuku outputs a 20 unique 8-bit code.

Figure 5 shows the contents of the 8-bit code.

For example, a picture of an "umbrella" and "-■sa" σ) as shown in Figure 2.
If you touch the "double-sided gala 7" of the pictogram block 11 with characters drawn on it, G7 will appear from the 8 stars of the pictogram code pin 13.
A code of 1, φφφφφ11φ is output.

The other pictogram blocks are as shown in FIG. 5, and because they are 8-bit codes, the pictogram code of 1 out of 255 types is drunk.

Figure 4 cJI, circuit block T' of an infant learning device using the present invention
1 is a block diagram, and the operation is as shown in flowchart 1 shown in FIGS. 6 to 8.

71yδ1: (The case where the switch 6 is turned on and the select switch 494/014 is set to 1.

(][]1-Char1 (:1Refer to FIG. 6) When the power switch 3 is turned on, the entire system is cleared, and the display r91 (1) is also cleared.

Next, 0PU30 is a select switch 47a.

It is checked which one of 47b and 47c is turned on, and the program jumps to the program routine corresponding to the switch state.

When the select switch 47a is ON, the program is in a standby state until the top glass 51 of the pictogram block 38 is touched.

The mechanism of the touch switch is that the CPU 3 is placed in the center bin 12.
A clock is supplied from 0 through the line 42, but when a human body (mainly a hand or finger) touches the glass 51 of the pictogram block 6B, an external capacitance fN is applied to the touch detection circuit 40. ], and as a result, the output waveform of the touch detection circuit 40 (which is related to the clock waveform) changes compared to normal.

This change is detected by the signal processing circuit 41, and an 8-bit code unique to the pictogram block is output to the line 45.

The child's hand is one of the pictogram blocks 38 (for example, λ, [
- If you touch the pictogram block 68a) of "〇Sagao", -[-As mentioned above, ζJ8 bit: 7-F l
φφφφφφφ1” is output.

At this time, O]:' U 30 converts this code to CP'
U 30 and, to clear the display 37, σ) signal is placed on the line 44+Khs 4 s.

The display driver 36 that receives these signals clears the display 37.

Next, the OPU 30ζ1S receiver transfers the pictograph codes to the control section 31 using the pictogram codes 45 and N50.

The control unit 31 controls the voice (
(Morning morning) Outputs the at1nos of the ROM in which data is stored, and accesses the data ROM section 32. The accessed data ROM i'4132 outputs voice data to the voice synthesis circuit section 33, and the voice synthesis circuit section 33
Sound is synthesized from these data, and the sound is generated from the speaker 65 via the amplifier 34.

4 “Oh, this '71f voice synthesis circuit section 33 uses a waveform encoding method (POM, DM, ATJpata, etc.) σ)
Even in speech synthesis, the parameter code system (■・P C, P
RJF performance is also possible with the voice synthesis method (A R00R + TJ S P, etc.), but in either case, a female voice is preferable for emotional reasons.

While synthesizing audio, a p u 504j, line 4
5. Using line 44, display body 6 No.
171, or to draw katakana, signals are sequentially output to the display driver 3B.

The first signal received by Uke is ``A1'' is drawn on the Omotemariku body 67, and the subsequent signals are 1 -1, 1 is -1, l-J,;
” are drawn in sequence, and finally the k1 display 37 shows 1, (-morning-morning-1).

When the signal to the display driver 66 is finished outputting, the program returns to the touch waiting routine for the pictogram block 38.

- As explained above, when the select switch 47a is turned on, the function is to display the content of the touched pictogram in audio and text.

Next, the case where the select switch 47b is turned on will be described. (Refer to the diagram of 70-cha-1/c11) σ) Jl
,j1's opportunity 1'iI &-,1, The learning device tells the child the name of the picture, and the child listens to it and touches the corresponding pictogram block with his/her finger. The learning device answers whether it is correct or not.

First, 01? U3n checks what kind of pictogram block [1tsuk38'' is currently attached to the learning device.

(Emoji book IJ Tsuku 38 has a pin structure and an
The learning device has a jack to receive it.) The following describes how to find out what kind of things are attached to 313.

) 1, Z, C]・TI≧[Ji, ;From l line 43, pictogram block 3 Elσ) Number F,” Generates an IJ pulse.

The multiplexer 49 that received the pulse A6
Pulses are generated sequentially from a to line 46z.

The pulse that entered CHI 46 a is pictogram block 3
8a's Faith'-processing circuit 41 (manufactured by 7 and forced) outputs an 8-bit code unique to pictogram 7' lock 38a to line 45-.

OP u 5 (3!1, capture and store this 8-bit code.

Next, the message of the pictogram block 38h is sent to the processing circuit 41b.
An 8-bit code is output from line 451-1-) and stored in 3PU 30 in the same manner as above.

Do this one after another and C! PU30 is the pictogram block 38 glue 1 (type 1, a
do.

In the next program step (, 1, OP IT 5 [
Step 1 is to place one pictogram code from the pictogram blocks 38 stored above on the line 45 and transfer it to the control section 31 using the line 50.

The control unit 61 converts this pictograph code into data RO.
The address is converted into the address of the M section 32 and output.

The accessed data ROM unit 32 outputs the audio data corresponding to the pictogram code to the -rf voice synthesis circuit unit 63, and synthesizes the audio.

On the other hand, 0PU30 writes a code for display on line 45. while the audio is being synthesized. Display driver 36 via line 44
Hiragana or katakana corresponding to the pictogram: 1-do is drawn and printed on the display body 371-.

That is, in this operation, the learning device indicates one of the pictogram blocks 3B with voice and text, and instructs the user to touch the corresponding pictogram block 38 with his or her finger.

In the next Br1gram step, the emoji block 8-
\σ) Touch wait routine and IC.

Below, when one of the pictogram blocks 7'jtsuku 68 is touched, σ) imports the pictogram code into 0PU30, and then σ) generates the sound corresponding to the pictogram 'A+' as in the case of Figure 6. ), but in this case, the next step is different.

The emoji code for the emoji block 68 that was touched is 0P
U3 (l) is compared with the emoji code that first appeared in 14, and if it matches, a voice saying "Yes, I understand that well. Now, let's think about the next one" will be emitted. , line 45. to the control section 31. Line 50 is used to send the signal.

Thereafter, the above-mentioned sound is generated by the above-described operation, and then the process returns to the next pictogram code generation routine.

If the codes do not match, a signal is sent to the control unit 61 using the 45° line 50 in order to generate 1'\%4 of "It's a little different. Think again."

Thereafter, the voice of -F is generated by the above-mentioned operation, and then the routine waits for the pictogram block 68 to be touched again.

In this game, parents can freely change the position of the pictogram block 68 and the gods, so the guesswork based on memorization of the digits is eliminated, and the child can enjoy the variety.

Finally, the case where the select switch 48 is ON will be explained.

The function in this case is to display the contents of the picture of the pictogram block 38 touched one by one, and to indicate the stroke order of each letter such as H5.

The first step is a routine waiting for a touch on the pictogram block 38.

When one of the 68 pictogram blocks is touched, 0P
U30 takes in the pictogram code, analyzes it, and outputs the phoneme code to control section 31.

The control unit 31 that received the phoneme code outputs the data RO.
v/1pd (32), and the speech synthesis circuit unit 33 synthesizes the phoneme.
If it is j, it indicates the four 1''?, ``a'', ``sa'', ``ga'', and ``o''.

0PU30 is written 1i while the 1″ block is being synthesized
t(i) The k-code is output to the display driver 66 via the line 45.embryo 144.

The display driver 36 receives this signal and draws characters on the display 37 in stroke order. For example, if “A” is “-1” 1-±
1 “Ru]-1 and 1! I’m going down.

-When you finish displaying the characters, synthesize the next phoneme and add 4 to that phoneme.
1. Write the corresponding characters on the display body 3Z in stroke order.

This is repeated 17 times, and when the display of the 9 phonemes of the word has been completed, the CPU 30 displays the line 45. Send ``:3-1-j'' to the control unit 31 via the line 50, saying, ``I understand the stroke order. Now, let's try the next word.'' The display is cleared, and again, The process returns to the touch waiting routine for the pictogram block 38.

As detailed above, we have shown that it is possible to construct an unprecedented learning device for young children using building blocks for young children, speech synthesis, and an optical display.

By using this learning device, young children can learn the names of pictures while playing.
The pronunciation of 9 letters is t7j, and the effect is great.
