Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a voice tickler device that electronically stores and manages people's schedules and daily routines.

With the recent development of LSI manufacturing technology, various types of devices with complex functions can now be provided in bulk and at low cost. As a result, for example, in the field of electronic desk calculators, electronic desk calculators have been developed that have improved memo functions such as phone number memo functions. Furthermore, even voice synthesis equipment, which has been difficult to miniaturize up to now, is now being easily integrated into various equipment.

By the way, people generally record things that need to be memorized, such as activity plans, telephone numbers, and insurance verification numbers, in notebooks or memo pads to avoid mistakes.

However, when using such a notebook, you must always refer to the notebook and remember the time of your next appointment. There is a high possibility that things will be overlooked. Furthermore, when searching for randomly recorded items such as telephone numbers, the more records there are, the more time it often takes to find them.

Furthermore, notebooks are surprisingly inconvenient when viewed in dark places or when viewed by visually impaired people.

For this reason, there has been a strong desire to develop a tickler system that not only announces an arbitrary schedule at a predetermined time by voice, but also allows recorded matters such as telephone numbers to be easily searched.

This invention was made in view of the above points, and it stores date and time information to be specified and message information, and compares the stored date and time information with the stated actual time to find out whether the date and time information at least match. It is an object of the present invention to provide a voice tickler device with extremely high utility value by having a configuration capable of outputting message information corresponding to date and time information as synthesized voice.

The entry mode is a mode provided to simplify the input of the 441 frequently occurring words, and is the undefined word 1 Noah? of the data table 14 in FIG. Frequently occurring single words in the five chapters of Koin are stored in association with each other, so that they can be used as messages in, for example, schedule mode, timer mode, etc. In other words, the data table 14 defines the 50 sounds and the Tonde Haya 1 Go@en area with 1 mark indicated by (X) 2 and (Y) on the diagram, and each position is defined by (x, y). As shown, (7,

((1, o), (9,1), ..., (9,9) force 5 @
It is /Z so that it can be assigned to the output rate, Go 4i, and edge.

That is, as shown in FIG. 11, the entry mode process checks whether the read key KRD has been operated in the STETSUNO SB, and if it has not been operated, branches to STETSUNO S2h and checks whether the write key KWa has been operated or not. It is checked, and if no operation has been performed, the process will be terminated as is.

If it is determined that the starting key KRD has been operated in STETSUNO S1h, the process branches to STELLA fS5h, and /4 of the beginning word registration area input from the key switch device 25 is entered.

.

At Szh, the 2-day transfer process and voice generation process similar to the step 86@+s in FIG. 4 are performed, and the 1-entry mode is ended.

It is the case, in step S2h, 4F@include key KWB
If it is determined that has been operated, the process branches to step S8h. In the STETSUNO Skh, the storage area srwt of the word storage section W of the EXRfiJ 124 is designated based on the main meter of the frequent word registration area inputted from the key switch device 25, as in the STETSUNO S5h. stella f8
At 9h, the frequently occurring words inputted from the key switch device rit25 are transferred to the message buffer 233 of the RAM 23, and after the first user confirms that the frequently occurring words have been input correctly using synthesized voice, the user inputs the frequently occurring words inputted from the key switch device RIT25, and then transfers them to the Stellar 7'S6h. The designated EXRAM 24 dead weight word storage unit STW storage area 5TWtK@output rate word Wt is stored, and the entry mode ends.

In addition, in modes other than the schedule and timer mode shown in Figures 6, 7, . . . , and 11, in order to make the explanation easier to understand, a terminator indicating the end of the process is used and a loop that repeats the same process is not created. However, in reality,
Press the return key K at the terminator that indicates the end of processing.
Stella determines whether R has been manipulated! If it is determined that the return key KII has been operated, the process returns to the processing routine shown in the flowchart in FIG. 3, and if it is determined that the return key KR has not been operated, each flowchart is The process starts again from the first step shown in .

Further, although not shown, the processing device 2 is configured to receive an interrupt at a predetermined period, so that various processes are performed as shown in FIG. 12.

In other words, when an interrupt occurs, in Stella f S1i,
The contents of each register and the contents of the input/output ports of the processing device 2 are saved, and the count is performed in the step S2i so that the contents of the color/read section 231 of the RAM 23 become equal to the actual time. In Stella F August, it is called Nonseco/Troll, and is designed to supply control signals necessary for speech synthesis to the speech synthesizer 26.

In Stella 7'S4i, in order to eliminate malfunctions due to chattering of each key of the key switch device d25, it is detected whether any key has been operated for a predetermined period of time or more, and the key switch device 250 input operation is reliably performed. It is designed to perform the processing that can be performed. Step Ski
In this case, various counter operations such as updating of a dynamic scan counter for detecting the key operation device of the key switch device 25 are performed.

Finally, in Stella fs61, the contents of each register and input/output port saved in Stella S1i are restored to their original states. Then, a VC is generated so that the processing unit @21 returns to the original processing before the interruption.

By the way, in each of the modes described above, if the user determines that the various inputs inputted from the key switch device 25 are correct based on the synthesized voice, the processing device #21 inputs the next one by operating the write key KWR. Moving on to processing,
Furthermore, if it is determined that the data is incorrect, the data can be re-entered by operating the clear key Ke. The repeat key KREP is operated to confirm the synthesized voice message again.

Such a voice tickler device is operated as shown below for each mode, for example.

In order to simplify the explanation, for example, the calendar key Km
The operation of , will be simply indicated as Ida (in other words, the symbol attached to the surface of each key will be shown enclosed in a square). Along with this, the combined audio output is indicated by [''.
