Next, the operation shown in FIG. 3 will be explained.

Recording switch S4 and playback switch S are both off.
In this state, the recording/playback switching signal PC and the time memory signal Pr issued from the recording/playback control circuit 60 are O,
Audio memory circuit 41, first and second switching circuits 42, 46
and amplification circuit 44 and recording time memory circuit 50 and A/
Since the D circuits 45 are all inactive and the display switching signal Pp is also O, the display switching circuit 6
0 transmits a signal from the clock circuit 10 to the display device 2. Therefore, the display time signal 13 from the time counter 16
a is displayed on the time display section 2a, and the calendar signal 14a from the calendar counter 14 is displayed on the calendar display section 2b, and the D/A circuit 46 is also rendered inactive.

If you want to record in this state, record button 4
When the recording switch S4 is turned on by pressing , the signal shaped by the waveform shaping circuit 21 is sent to the recorder/playback control circuit 60.
Input 0 Å force to terminal R.

This input signal first generates a recording/playback switching signal (1))c at the output terminal C, which switches the audio memory circuit 41, the first and second switching circuits 42 and 46, and the amplification circuit 44 to the input side, and also switches the The reproduction circuit times P r is output and A/
By enabling the D circuit 45, an input circuit is formed in the recording student circuit 40. At the same time, the time signal 13b from the time counter 16 when the recording button 4 was pressed is stored in the recording time memory circuit 50 by the time memory signal Pr.

In this state, the speaker micro operates as a microphone, converts the audio signal input from the outside into an electrical signal, amplifies it by the amplifier circuit 44, removes excess frequency components, and switches between the first and second switching. circuit 42.46
The recording/playback clock signal φ is encoded by the A/D circuit 45 via the signal 1, and is generated from the terminal CL of the recording/playback control circuit 60. 0, is stored in the audio memory circuit 41.

At this time, the recording time is stored in the recording time memory circuit 50 as described above.

Next, when the audio information is stored in the audio memory circuit 41 by the above recording operation and is played back again, press the playback button 5 and turn on the playback switch S5, and the signal will be shaped by the waveform shaping circuit 22. , and input to the recording/playback control circuit 600 Å power terminal IJ.

This signal first outputs the recording/playback switching signal 1 at the output terminal C.
) c becomes 1, the audio memory circuit 41, the first and second switching circuits 42, 46, and the amplifying circuit 44 are switched to the output side, and the recording and playback control circuit is turned on, making the D/A circuit 46 ready for operation. By doing this, an output circuit is formed in the recording/reproducing circuit 40. At this time, the display switching circuit 6
0 is changed by the display switching signal Pp.
Then, instead of the calendar signal 14a from the calendar counter 14, the recording time signal 50a from the recording time memory circuit 50 is displayed. At this time, the speaker micro operates as a speaker, and the encoded audio signal stored in the audio memory circuit 41 is sequentially transmitted by the circuit Δ6 to 1)/in accordance with the recording/reproducing clock signal φCL from the recording/reproducing control circuit 60. The sound is read out and emitted from the speaker micro through the amplification circuit 44.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the invention.

Figure 4 shows the recording date as well as the recording time, and also shows the Q total 11.1. This is a plan view of a clock with tick marks, showing the recording time on the time display section 2a and the calendar display section 21).
The recording date is displayed with a recording time mark 9 attached to the head.

In this case, in the block diagram shown in FIG. 3, according to the output signal from the terminal 1t of the recording/playback control circuit 60,
The time signal ISb from the time counter 16 is stored in the recording time memory circuit 50, and at the same time a recording layer memory circuit is provided to store the recording layer signal from the calendar counter 14. This can be done by performing operations such as displaying the image in a cursive manner.

The display of the recording time mark 9 can be realized by connecting a mark display circuit in series with the recording time memory circuit 50 in the block diagram shown in FIG.

Q: Even in the case of a discrepancy, the recording time mark 9 may be displayed in a lit state or may be displayed in a blinking state.

As described above, according to the present invention, the time at the time of recording is stored in the recording time memory circuit, the sound is emitted during playback, and the time and date at the time of recording are displayed on the display device. For example, if you predict the score or who will hit a home run before a baseball game and record it, the time of recording will be recorded at the same time, so you can check whether your predictions before the game were correct. If you want to use it for record purposes, for example, if you record the type and location of the fish you caught, you can quickly find out when, where, and what kind of fish you caught later. To know.

There are various ways to use it, including how it can be used.

In this way, the scope of use as a recording memo clock can be further expanded by simply adding a simple configuration for storing the recording time in an electronic clock with a recording function and displaying the recorded time during playback. It can greatly increase its commercial value, and the effects are very impressive.
