Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a combination watch and tape player device.

One aspect of the present invention is to provide a new and practical timing clock and tape player combination device in which several different times can be set and the player is controlled so that a selected recording can be played at each set time. That's true.

One aspect of the invention is to provide a means for setting a plurality of alarm times, a first recording at a first set time and a second recording at at least one other set time.
To provide a combination device of a clock and a tape player, including means for starting to play the recorded sound at each set time, such as a recording of a clock and a tape player.

The device of the invention is particularly suitable for playing different recordings at fixed times each day.

For example, Muslims pray five times a day! ll (once in the morning, once in the afternoon, once in the afternoon, once at sunset)
(once after sunset). Music must be played during the prayer, and the appropriate music varies depending on the time of the prayer.

The invention will be explained in more detail by means of embodiments shown in the drawings.

First, referring to FIG. 4, a no, nts + oo o lk product circuit I with microprocessor functions manufactured by Texas Instrument Corporation is shown.
The entire circuitry of C5 as its main elements is shown. The circuit further comprises a control switch box A (Figs. 1 and 5) connected to IC5 by a flexible cable, a rectifier circuit B, a set of pilot lamps and their control means C.
, a sensor J, a pair of preamplifiers I and H, a power amplifier D, a motor and its control means E, an integrated circuit IC4 regulating voltage, a power supply F, an integrated circuit I providing clock counting.
C6 and a light emitting diode display Gi, all of which are connected to the integrated circuit IC5.

This device is mainly used as an integrated circuit IC5f controller and a light emitting diode Gf time display. When a power plug (not shown) is inserted into the socket 7 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the power is turned on. Integrated circuit I
C5 sends a signal to transistor 05 of motor control means E, causing motor m to rotate and operate to search for the beginning of the tape with foil. When the endless tape foil is detected by sensor J, the motor will automatically stop automatically.

When the power is turned on, the light emitting diode display G shows the number +2:00'r, and the time flashes every 05 seconds. This blinking indicates that the time has not yet been set. If it is necessary to fully adjust the time, the set time (sr) button 12 (see switch in control box A in FIGS. 4 and 5) is first pressed. When this button is pressed, a signal is transmitted from the leg Ro to the leg K of the integrated circuit IC5 to completely stop the blinking of the numbers shown on the light emitting diode display G.

When the set time (ST) button 12 is pressed, a memory unit within the integrated circuit IC5 has an ``address'' that records this operation.

Next, when the time (HR) button 10 is pressed, a signal is transmitted from point A to point 2 of the integrated circuit IC5, and when this signal is received by the integrated circuit IC5, a 0 signal is generated inside the integrated circuit IC5. .5 second timer is automatically set. If the time (HR) button 10 is then held down, the "hour" portion of the light emitting diode display will increase by one every 0.5 seconds until the desired time is reached and the button 10 is released.

After obtaining the correct 6 hours, when the minute (Jf) button 11 is pressed, a signal is transmitted from point R3 of the integrated circuit IC5 to point 1.The function and action of the minute button is similar to that of the hour button. Similar to action.

Once the time is corrected, the system's time pulse is derived from the frequency of the power supply. 50Hz or 60
Hz is available and a frequency selection switch is included in the integrated circuit. 60Hz or 50Hz from power supply
Once the pulse is obtained, this pulse passes through the circuit Bf and is conditioned into a square wave, which is transmitted to point 4 of the integrated circuit IC5, which outputs the input K to the integrated circuit IC5.

It will also scan it. Several counters are built into the memory unit, including a pulse counter, seconds counter, minute counter, and hour counter.

When a pulse appears on the input 8, the pulse counter is automatically incremented by 1, and when this number of pulses reaches 60, the minute counter is incremented by 1, resetting the pulse counter to zero.

Similarly, when the number of seconds reaches 60, the minute counter is advanced by one and the minute displayed by the light emitting diode display G is changed. Similarly, when 60 minutes are accumulated, the hour counter is advanced by one.

Next, the alarm function of the device will be explained.

The integrated circuit IC5 also scans all of the input buttons 9 or other buttons at a fixed time. Set alarm button 8: ly M, -
Me yj"N' Then the button M was pressed.

-M, the light emitting diode 9 close to is lit. The value set by the alarm set button is the value set by the integrated circuit IC5.
The time is obtained from the memory unit and is indicated on the light emitting diode display G for convenient adjustment by the user. The adjustment method is the same as the time setting method described above. That is,
The hour (CH) button 10 is pressed first as well as the minute (M') button 11. After the time is corrected, the current time (cT)
When the button 13 is pressed, the current time is displayed on the light emitting diode display G, and the set alarm time is immediately stored in the memory unit.

If the alarm time is set, the current time (CT
) button 13 should be pressed.

After 30 seconds, the current time is automatically displayed on the light emitting diode display GK, and the set alarm time is immediately stored in the memory unit.

The alarm button 8 consists of five buttons M1 to M5. These alarm buttons can be adjusted as desired, and when a certain alarm button is pressed, the set value is stored in the memory unit. Integrated circuit IC5 scans five setpoints every minute. The integrated circuit IC5 drives the motor control means E to select the track and start the recorded performance. The music played for Muslims' morning prayers is the same at noon.
Unlike the music played in the afternoon, at sunset, and after sunset, the music played after noon is all the same. Therefore, it is possible to play all the music set by the first alarm from the right track of the 2-track team, and play the music set by the second to fifth alarms from the left track. During recorded performance, pilot rung C is lit. When each recording performance ends, the tape is automatically rewound to the starting position. In the figure, transistors Q and Q2 in preamplifiers I and H control the left and right tracks, respectively, through connections R6 and Rak of integrated circuit IC5.

The integrated circuit IC) is manufactured by NEC and has the number MPC566Hs. Integrated circuit IC2 is the same as ICI.

The integrated circuit IC3 of power amplifier D is manufactured by Toshiba and has the number TA.
7230P, the upper part of which is a monitor. The integrated circuit IC4 used for voltage regulation is manufactured by Motorola and has the number MC7815C.

In normal operation of the combined clock and tape player device of the present invention, a preselected track is automatically selected, the previously recorded content is played, and the prerecorded content is automatically stopped.

Automatic operation is therefore performed periodically.

FIG. 6 is an alternative circuit to the circuit shown in FIG. 4, in which the voltage adjustment integrated circuit IC4 of FIG. 4 is removed and other adjustments are made.

The same reference numerals have been used for similar elements and detailed circuit descriptions have been omitted.

Many variations are possible. It is also possible to make 5-tracks and record recordings corresponding to the shore side set on each track, or record 5 recordings on 1 track, start tape playback at each alarm set time, and then play. It is also possible to stop the tape at the end of the day and rewind it only once at the end of the day.
