Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a selection voice control device that selects a plurality of types of loads using voice information and operates the loads.

Conventionally, this type of voice control device for selection has not existed; for example, when driving a car, there are various switches operated by the driver, such as a wiper switch and a lighting switch. In addition, in recent years, switches for purposes other than driving a car, such as key switches for in-vehicle computers and switches for in-vehicle telephones, have been increasing. Currently, each time a driver operates a switch, he or she takes his eyes off the front view and selects the desired switch to confirm the position.

However, visually confirming the position of the switch while driving causes the driver to be inattentive to the road ahead, which is extremely dangerous for driving, and furthermore, the switch operation tends to be uncertain.

In addition to automobiles, the same applies to transportation such as ships and airplanes, and other devices and electrical equipment equipped with numerous switches require some kind of voice control device for selection to prevent erroneous operation. was.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A selection voice control device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a plurality of voice-controlled selection switches in which two contacts can be independently opened and closed by one push button, pull button, tilting, rotary type, soft touch type, proximity switch type, etc. As an example, FIG. 2 shows a push button type voice control selection switch.

Reference numeral 1a is a movable body which is fixed to a case 1b so as to be movable left and right, compressed by a spring 1c to one end of the case 1b, and has a push button operator 1d fixed to a portion protruding from the case 1b. Case 1
The inner surface of b is provided with two sets of fixed contacts 1f and 1g in the moving direction of the movable body 1a, and one movable contact 1e corresponding to the fixed contacts 1f and 1g is provided on the movable surface of the movable body 1a. A normally open contact 1h which is fixed and closes the movable contact 1e and the fixed contact 1f by applying a weak pressure A to the push-button operator 1d, and the push-button operator 1.
Apply strong pressure B to the movable contact 1e to the fixed contact 1g.
It constitutes a normally open contact 1i that slides into contact with and closes.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a sound generating device that discriminates the signal input from each sound control selection switch 1, selects the type of load suitable for the sound control selection switch 1, and transmits sound.

3 is a load that involves load circuits such as driving the wiper of an automobile and lighting a lighting lamp.

4 is a power source such as a battery.

A plurality of voice control selection switches 1, the same number as loads 3, are connected to a power source 4. A fixed contact 1f of each normally open contact 1h that is closed by a weak press A of each audio control selection switch 1 is connected in parallel with the audio generator 2.

Further, the fixed contacts 1g of each normally open contact 1i that are closed by strong pressure B are connected in series with the respective loads 3.

In the above embodiment, each of the contacts 1h and 1i of the voice control selection switch 1 is a normally open contact, but the contacts 1h and 1i of the voice control selection switch 1 are normally closed, and the circuit configuration of the sound generator 2 and load 3 is reversed to that of the above embodiment. It's okay.

When operating the audio control selection switch 1, take into account the case where the audio control selection switch 1, the audio generation device 2, and the load 3 are operated at the same time as other audio control selection switches 1 installed nearby. A signal priority circuit, a sequential circuit, or the like may be attached to any or all of the circuits to limit the operation to only one set.

Next, the operation will be explained.

In order to operate the target load 3, press the push button operator 1d of any voice control selection switch 1 with a weak press A to close one normally open contact 1h, and input a signal to the normally open contact 1h. The sound generator determines,
The type of load 3 that is compatible with the voice control selection switch 1 is selected and the voice is transmitted. If it is the voice control selection switch 1 that corresponds to the target load 3, force press B on the push button operator 1d of the corresponding voice control selection switch 1 to close the other normally open contact 1i. The corresponding load 3 is activated by the signal input to the normally open contact 1i.

In addition, if it is confirmed that the voice control selection switch 1 arbitrarily operated from the voice transmission is different from the voice control selection switch 1 of the target load 3, the target voice control selection switch 1 is changed. Repeat the weak press A operation with the push button operator 1d of the voice control selection switch 1 until 1 is confirmed.

In addition, the normally open contact 1h of the voice control selection switch 1
and 1i are unclosed by the reaction force of the spring 1c when the pressing force of the push button operator 1d is removed.

The present invention has the above configuration and operation, and has the following effects.

Since the operator can confirm the selection operation of the voice control selection switch corresponding to each load not only visually but also by voice information, the operator can perform the operation while keeping his eyes fixed on the road ahead while driving a public transportation vehicle, and can operate the switch safely and reliably. Further, even in devices and electrical equipment equipped with a large number of switches, it is possible to select and confirm the voice control selection switch corresponding to the load in advance, thereby preventing operational errors. It is also an effective means of teaching beginners how to operate the system.
