[Detailed explanation of the idea]

The present invention relates to an audio output type electronic device such as an audio calculator that can count and notify the number of presses of a predetermined key such as a plus key or an equal key. More specifically, it relates to an audio output type electronic device that can use the number of presses of a predetermined key for other calculations, and can notify the number of presses by voice without changing the count value on the item counter even in the middle of counting the number of presses. be. Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an external perspective view of an audio calculator which is an embodiment of the electronic device of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is the main body of the audio calculator, 2 is a display, 3 is a speaker, 4 is a key switch group, and 5 is a mode. This switch can be switched to N mode which does not count items, A ₁ mode which counts items and only displays but does not output audio, and A ₂ mode which counts items and outputs audio. It is equipped with contacts, and numeral 6 indicates a key for specifying count output. Figure 2 shows a block diagram for controlling the voice calculator.
A key unit equipped with a function key, etc.
CAL is an arithmetic processing circuit that performs normal arithmetic operations according to each key, and W and Y are numerical information registers. Information controlled by the arithmetic processing circuit CAL is stored as appropriate, and the contents of the W register are automatically stored. display device
Displayed on DSP. DSP is a display device that displays the contents of the W register, and X is a register that stores two-digit numerical values of X ₁ and X ₂ , and stores item count contents of 1 to 99. The CCU is a circuit that counts up the contents of the X register by 1, and only counts up X+1 when a micro order is issued. CCL is a clear circuit for the X register, and in mode N, the X register is always cleared. AG ₁ to AG ₃ are AND gates, OG is an OR gate, CD ₁₀ is a signal that specifies the state of the address counter VAC as an initial address in the audio "JYU" area as described later, and VAC is the address counter of the storage device ROM, memory. The device ROM is a read-only memory that stores audio information, and the ROM steps are address counters.
It is accessed by VAC and the output R ₀ responds to the access. In the figure, "1", "2" related to the present invention...
Only phonetic words such as “jiyu” are illustrated. Since the capacity naturally differs depending on the word, the operation is that after setting the initial address of each word area with the address counter VAC, the address counter VAC is automatically counted up, and it is set at the final step of each area. Detects END code. JE is the END code detection circuit, and this circuit resets the address counter VAC. VAC
In the reset state, the word area of the storage device ROM is not accessed. The storage device ROM is digital/analog (D/
A) The signal is transmitted to the speaker SP through the converter, low-pass filter LPF, and driver D. PS is the R/S flip-flop in the driver D power supply circuit.
Power is supplied to driver D only when Fs is set. F ₁ and F ₂ are RS (reset-set) conditional flip-flops. Next, the operation of the block diagram of the audio calculator shown in FIG. 2 will be explained using the flowchart shown in FIG. Each step (n) of the flowchart consists of a jump part and a command execution part. The joint part is shown in Figure 2.

Each of the circuits shown in the form [Formula] is common. () When the mode switch is set to N mode (items not counted). At step _n1 , it is determined whether or not it is in N mode, and unless it is in N mode, it does not proceed to the next item control step. Therefore, no matter how you calculate it, items will not be counted at all. Even if you press the N mode count output (KA) key,
Since the KA key press is n ₂ , it practically does not work. If you press the KA key in N mode, the item counter (including the X register and count-up circuit CUC) may be reset. In this case, instead of resetting the clear circuit CCL in the N mode, it may be reset under the conditions (KA key/N) as shown in FIG. By doing so, it is possible to perform another calculation in the N mode while temporarily storing the item count result, and then process the item count result as data as appropriate later or in the process. () When the mode switch is set to _A1 mode (item counting mode without audio output). When you press the □+ key or the □- key in A ₁ mode, it advances to step n ₁ → n ₂ → n ₂ → n ₄ , and at step n ₄ , the count up circuit is activated by macro order.
Performs X+1 to increment the contents of the X register by 1 via CUC. This corresponds to the item count. The next n ₂₅ is a mode A ₂ jump, and unless it is in the A ₂ mode, the process returns to n ₁ and no subsequent audio output processing is performed. In other words, it indicates that only item counting was performed. When the count output designation key (KA) is pressed in A ₁ mode, step n ₂ →
Proceed to n ₃ , and since it is A ₁ mode, proceed to n ₆ with A ₂ = 0. Here, the count state transferred to the X register is transferred to the W register, and the contents of the W register are further transferred to the Y register.
The item count status is placed in the W register and displayed, and the original contents of the W register are placed in the Y register. Therefore, it is also possible to perform an operation using the contents of the W register and the Y register. () When the mode switch is set to _A2 mode (a mode that can count items and output audio). A When you press the + key or = key in ₂ mode, the steps progress through steps n ₁ → n ₂ → n ₃ → n ₄ , and the
1, and since it is A ₂ mode, step n ₂₅
Proceed to step n ₇ via . Step n ₇ , n ₈
conditional flip-flop F ₁ ,
Reset F ₂ and proceed to n ₉ . n ₉ 's X ₂ = 1 is X
This determines whether the count state of the register is a number between 10 and 19. This is for processing to make, for example, utter "Jiyuu" instead of "Ichi" and "Jiyuu" when the number is "10". Any number other than 10-19
Since X ₂ ≠ 1, proceed to n ₁₀ . Here, X ₂ ≠0, that is, whether the count result is 1 digit or 2 digits. If this is 2 digits or more,
This is for processing to make the sound utter. If the count result is 2 digits, the process proceeds from _n13 to _n14 , sets flip-flops _F1 and _F2 , and proceeds to _n15 . _X2
→VAC is a process for specifying the initial address of the audio area of the storage device ROM corresponding to the second digit, that is, the 10 ¹ digit count result. Immediately after setting the initial address in this way, proceed to step n ₁₇ .
The flip-flop Fs is set to enable audio output, and the desired audio is generated until the END code arrives. The arrival of the END code is detected at _n18 , and the flip-flop Fs is reset at _n19 to disable audio output before proceeding to _n20 . Since flip-flop _F1 is set at _n13 , the process advances to _n21 . n ₂₁ 's
CD ₁₀ →VAC sets the state of the address counter VAC to the initial address of the audio "JIU" area. flipflop with n ₂₂
Reset F ₁ and return to n ₁₇ . Numerals n ₁₇ to _{n 19} are audio output parts, which output the audio "JIUU". Since the flip-flop _F1 is reset at _n22 , _n20 → _n23 . flipflop F ₂
is set at _n14 , so proceed to _n24 , reset _F2 , and then proceed to _n26 . X ₁ =0 means that the first digit is "0", and it is determined by n ₂₆ whether or not 0 is uttered at this time.
In other words, for example, in the case of "20", it is necessary to finish by saying "ni" and "jiyuu" using the method described above. It should not be “ni”, “jiyu” or “zero”. However, when it is "21", it must be "ni", "jiyuu", and "ichi". Therefore, when X ₁ = 0, the process ends, and when X ₁ ≠ 0, proceed to n ₁₆ ,
Put the first digit number X ₁ into the address counter VAC and say it at n ₁₇ to n ₁₉ . Since the flip-flop _F1 has already been reset at _n20 , the process advances to _n23 . Flipflop F ₂ is already n ₂₄
I've reset it, so I'll end here. When the count result is 10 to 19, n ₉ x ₂ = 1
is satisfied and proceeds to n ₁₁ . Here, as before, check whether the first digit is 0 (in this case it is 10). If X ₁ = 0, go directly to n ₂₁ , X ₁
If ≠0, set flip-flop _F2 at _n12 and then proceed to _n21 . As mentioned in n ₂₁ , “Jiyuu”
With the address setting to say n ₁₇ through n ₂₂
Return to , and utter "Jiyuu" from here on up to n ₁₉ . Since the flip-flop _F1 was reset at n ₂₂ , proceed as n ₂₀ → n ₂₃ . The process ends when X ₁ =0. In other words, ``10'' is uttered as ``Jiyu'' and ends. If n ₁₁ and X ₁ ≠ 0, then n ₂₃ →n ₂₄ →n ₂₆ →n ₁₆
Then, set the address counter -VAC corresponding to the first digit number, say this at n ₁₇ to n ₁₉ , and proceed again to n ₂₀ → n ₂₃ . Since we previously reset the flip-flop _F2 with _n24 , we are finished with this. For example, when the number is 13, you would say ``jiyuu'' and ``san.'' In the above manner, the item count contents are outputted by voice using the □+ or □= keys in _A2 mode. In A ₂ mode, if the count output key (KA) is pressed, the item count part of n ₁ → n ₂ → n ₅ → n ₇ and X+1 will be skipped. The following operation is exactly the same as the above operation in _A2 mode. Therefore
A _{In 2} mode, if you press the KA key when you forget to listen while counting, the contents of item counter X at that time will be output as voice without changing them. As described above, according to the present invention, when the instruction key is pressed in the first mode, the contents of the item counter can be displayed and the contents can be used for other calculations, and in the second mode, To provide an extremely user-friendly voice output type electronic device that can be used to make a voice notification without changing the contents of the item counter at that time when an instruction key is pressed, such as when the number of key presses is being counted. I can do it.
