Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an onomatopoeia generating device that generates a corresponding onomatopoeia from a voice output means based on an onomatopoeic selection code inputted from a central processing unit or the like.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a conventional onomatopoeic sound generating device. In the figure, 1 is an onomatopoeic sound generating unit constituting an onomatopoeic sound generating means, and the onomatopoeic sound generating unit 1 is capable of generating multiple types of sounds such as siren sounds, water flowing sounds, and automobile sounds. Input port 2 for inputting an onomatopoeic selection code for selecting , and signal output port 3 for outputting an onomatopoeic signal selected according to the code input from this input port 2
It is equipped with Reference numeral 4 denotes an onomatopoeia control section which is a control means for controlling the audio output means 5 to generate onomatopoeia using the signal outputted from the signal output port 3, and changes the amplitude of the signal and adjusts the volume. Note that the audio output means 5 is
For example, it includes an audio amplifier 5a and a speaker 5b.

Next, the operation will be explained. When an onomatopoeia selection code corresponding to, for example, a specific type of siren sound "bee-po" is input to the onomatopoeic sound generation unit 1 from the control unit of the host via the input port 2, the onomatopoeia generation unit 1 generates a signal. Outputs an onomatopoeic signal that makes up the sound of "bi-bo" to output port 3,
The onomatopoeic sound control unit 4 creates a siren sound, ``bee-po'', in response to the input signal from the signal output port 3. The siren sound signal produced by the onomatopoeia control unit 4 is input to the audio output means 5, amplified by the audio amplifier 5a, and generated as a siren sound from the speaker 5b.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Since the conventional onomatopoeia generator is configured as described above, the only output that corresponds to the input is audio output.
For example, when performing a display according to the type of sound at the same time as the sound output, or when performing control such as increasing the gain of an amplifier only when a certain type of sound is being output, the above-mentioned It is necessary to input such signals, and it is necessary to separately provide signal generating means, contacts, etc. for this purpose, which poses problems such as an increase in the number of parts and an increase in cost.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides an onomatopoeia generator that can control the display and sound according to the type of onomatopoeia without inputting a separate signal from the outside. The purpose is to obtain.

[Means for solving problems]

An onomatopoeia generating device according to the present invention includes an onomatopoeia type discriminating means for discriminating the type of onomatopoeia selected by an onomatopoeic selection code, and a driving means for changing display content or audio content based on the output of this discriminating means. It is something.

[Effect]

In this invention, onomatopoeic M
The type is determined, and the display content and audio content are controlled by the driving means based on the result of this determination.

[Example〕 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Note that the same reference numerals are used for the same or equivalent parts as in the conventional example, and the explanation thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 1 is a program diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. 6 is an onomatopoeic type output boat (hereinafter simply abbreviated as type output boat) provided in the onomatopoeia generator 1 to output the discrimination result by the onomatopoeia type discriminator 1a. In this embodiment, during the period when the onomatopoeic signal is output in response to the code input to the input port 2, the signal level is inverted compared to when the onomatopoeic signal is not output. can be obtained from this type of output port. On the other hand, 7 is a display control unit for displaying the type of onomatopoeia on a display unit 8 constituted by, for example, an LED, based on the signal from the type output port, and this constitutes the driving means of the present invention. There is.

Next, the operation will be explained. As in the past, when an onomatopoeic selection code corresponding to, for example, the siren sound "bee-po" is input to the onomatopoeic sound generating section 1 from the control section of the host via the input port 2, the onomatopoeic sound generating section 1 outputs a signal. Port 3
The onomatopoeia control section 4 outputs an onomatopoeic signal constituting the sound "bi-bo" to the sound, and the onomatopoeia control section 4 creates the siren sound "bi-bo" in response to the input signal from the signal output port 3. The signal made into a siren sound by the onomatopoeic sound control unit 4 is sent to the audio output means 5
and is amplified by the audio amplifier 5a and sent to the speaker 5.
b, the siren sound "Beep-po" is generated.

On the other hand, during the period when the siren sound is being outputted, the type output portlo indicates that the signal level of a certain boat in the type output portlo corresponding to the siren sound discriminated by the onomatopoeic type discriminating means 1a changes from "H" level to "L" level. ” level and that the type is siren sound is transmitted to the display unit 8 via the display control unit 7.

Therefore, the display unit 8 displays a message indicating that the onomatopoeic sound being generated is a siren sound.

Next, when the output of the onomatopoeic sound stops, the output of the above-mentioned type output port changes from the "L" level to the "H" level,
An operation is performed to notify the display section 7 that the siren sound has stopped and to turn off the display. Further, when the sound of flowing water is selected, a display corresponding to this sound is obtained from the display section 8.

In the above embodiment, the output of the onomatopoeic type is used for display, but as shown in FIG. 2, the operation of the amplifier of the audio output means can be controlled depending on the type of onomatopoeia. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 9 denotes an audio output means composed of an audio amplifier 9a and a speaker 9b that can remotely control the output level or power supply, etc., and 10
is an output control section that controls the audio output means 9 according to the output of the type output port, and this constitutes the driving means of the present invention. In the thus configured onomatopoeia generator, it is possible to increase the audio output only when onomatopoeia is occurring or when a specific onomatopoeia is occurring, without requiring any external output.

Further, in each of the above embodiments, display control and volume control are performed separately, but they may be used in combination, and the effect of onomatopoeia is further improved by controlling both display and volume.

Furthermore, in each of the above embodiments, the results of determining the type of onomatopoeia are output at the level of the specific type output port, but it goes without saying that the same effect can be obtained by outputting the results as a code to the type output port. do not have.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the onomatopoeia generating device according to the present invention is
Since it is equipped with an onomatopoeic type discrimination means for discriminating the type of onomatopoeia selected by the onomatopoeia selection code, and a driving means for changing the display content or audio content based on the output of this discrimination means, it is possible to input it separately from the outside. It is possible to control the display and sound without requiring signals, and it is possible to obtain an onomatopoeic sound generating device with a small number of parts at a low cost, which further improves the effect of onomatopoeia depending on the pitch of the sound and visual perception.
