Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute an alarm processing whose number of times of repetition has been made different in accordance with a degree of importance, by executing an acceptance and an execution of a reservation which has been repeated. CONSTITUTION:When a reservation setting operation is executed to a reservation setting means, each reserved time is compared, for instance, with a reference time at every minimum set unit time of the reserved time, and when it is detected that both of them have coincided, a processing request of a reserved data whose coincidence has been detected is stored in a storage means. These comparison and storage operations are executed at every unit time interval to all reserved data, and as a result, in case plural timer reservations of the same contents have been executed, plural processing requests are reserved simultaneously in the storage means. When the data is stored in the storage means, an executing means fetches successively its data, and executes the processing by generating a prescribed sound in accordance with the contents of the request.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a timer device that compares a set time with a reference time, and when the two match, performs preset data processing.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, this type of timer device generally stores one or more sets of data, including the content and time to be processed, in advance, and sequentially executes the data as time passes. It is true. Furthermore, because of this configuration, the number of identical or similar processes to be executed at the same or close times is limited to one, and therefore, if the same data reservation is made, the operation itself will not be accepted as an erroneous operation, or the operation itself will not be accepted. Even if it was accepted, it was never actually implemented. [Problems that the invention aims to solve] However, it is difficult to make multiple reservations for the same content, whether consciously or unconsciously. The matters that occur are extremely important to the operator, and it is problematic to simply ignore such processing requests as erroneous operations.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made focusing on the above problems, and includes:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a timer device capable of displaying an alarm corresponding to the weight of processing contents by enabling duplicate reservations and processing.

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention includes a reservation setting means capable of storing a plurality of data processing requests at the same or different times, and displaying the reservation time and current time for all days stored in the reservation setting means for 7 minutes. means for intermittently comparing the reservation time with a reference time every set unit time; and means for sequentially extracting and executing processing requests for which a match is detected when the comparison means detects a match between the reserved time and the reference time. configured.

[Operation] In the above configuration, when a reservation setting operation is performed on the reservation setting means, each reservation time is compared with the reference time for each minimum set unit time of the reservation time, and if it is detected that the two match. , a processing request for the reservation data for which a match has been detected is stored in the storage means. Such comparison and storage operations are
This is performed for all reservation data at every unit time interval, and as a result, if multiple timer reservations with the same content are made, multiple sets of processing requests are held in the storage means at the same time. When data is stored in the storage means, the execution means sequentially retrieves the data and executes it by emitting a predetermined sound according to the content of the request.

[Example] Figures 2 to 5 show an example in which the present invention is implemented in a doll-shaped timer device W11 that emits a predetermined sound at a set time, but the invention is not limited thereto. Of course, the present invention can also be implemented in substantially the same way for a timer device that performs various display operations such as.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram schematically showing an electric circuit used in the timer unit 2, in which a central processing unit (CPU) operated by a program is used as the center of control, and the central processing unit 50, RAM 51, ROM5
A control unit 56 is configured by connecting the second or other storage wave jif 53 and the input/output device 54 via various buses 55. Furthermore, the input/output device 54 can be connected to a display section 60 including the voice generating device 57 and the melody generating device 58, or a switch section 61 that allows the operator to directly access the control section 56. Various timer operations such as setting a reservation or generating sound on the display unit 60 at the reservation time are possible.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a more specific electric circuit.

A microprocessor (4-bit microprocessor) integrated into one chip includes a CPU 50 (which acts as a central processing unit), a RAM 51 (which acts as a work area), a ROM 52 (which stores execution programs in advance), and an input/output device (which receives and transfers data to and from external circuits). For example, μPD75073C) is used as the control unit 56, and when a υ set signal is input to the set terminal RESET from the differentiator circuit 63 at the same time as the battery 20 is set in the battery storage section 17, the program in the ROM 52 is set in advance. In addition to executing data processing according to the procedure, each boat PlI provided in the input/output device f54
9 to Ps3 to the switch unit 61 and the audio generator 57
Data is received and passed between the melody generating device 58 and the melody generating device 58.

As described above, the switch section 61 is composed of one operation switch 13 that is operated from the front surface 8 side of the main body case 12 that houses the timer unit 2, and four setting switches 34 that are operated from the lower surface 16 side of the main body case 12. be done. For each switch 13 and 34, a normally open on/off switch 31 is used, and one end is connected in parallel to the power supply section 64.
and connect the other end to the control unit 56 by connecting it to the resistor 65 and grounding the other end.
When each switch 13, 34 is turned on, an "H" signal is applied to the control unit 56 to notify the operating status of the switch.

As the voice generating device 57, for example, an LC8100, which is a PARCOR type voice synthesis IC, is used. In conjunction with the input of the start signal from the control section 56 to the 5TART terminal, "Good morning,"" A series of words such as "Good night" are output from the output terminal DA.

The melody generator 58 uses a so-called melody IC such as SVM7973. When a 3-digit 2-short signal is applied from the control unit 56 to the melody selection terminals MSI to MS3, the melody specified by the value of the 2-short signal is linked to the application of the start signal to the start terminal MT. is output,
It is possible to force a stop by applying a stop signal to the STP terminal.

The output signals from the voice generating device 57 and the melody generating device 58 are input to the amplifier 59 and amplified to a predetermined magnitude, and then are sounded by the speaker 14 attached to the upper case 10.

Note that the power supply terminal Vcc of the amplifier device 59 is connected to a switching transistor 6 that can be turned on and off under control from the control section 56.
It is connected to the power supply section 64 through a switching section 62 equipped with a power source 6 and a changeover switch 69 that turns on and off in conjunction with the insertion and removal of the plug into and from the jack 67.
7 or only during the period when the melody generator 58 is in operation, the transistor 66 of the switching unit 62 is turned on to prevent excess power consumption in the amplifier 59, but when the plug is inserted into the jack 67, the amplifier 590 input When the side and the audio output terminal of a television etc. are connected, the amplifier 59 is forcibly turned on regardless of the operation of the control unit 56.
is turned on so that it also operates as a normal amplifier. Note that the control unit 56 is controlled by the on/off operation of the amplifier device 59.
In order to prevent the applied voltage from fluctuating, a large-capacity smoothing capacitor 70 and a separation diode 71 are connected to the power supply section 64.

6 and 7 show the flow of control of the entire electric circuit by the program stored in the ROM 52 of the control unit 56. FIG.

FIG. 6(a) schematically shows the overall control flow, starting the program (step 80).
After the work area or stack area in the RAM 51 is initialized, the system enters a standby state in which it is possible to receive input from the switch section 61 (step 83).
. When the reserved time is reached in the standby state (step 84), alarm processing A is performed according to the preset reservation details.
In addition, each setting switch 3 for word selection, weekly reservation, daily reservation, and reservation cancellation provided on the timer setting section 18 provided on the bottom surface 16 of the timer unit 2
4 or when it is determined that the operation switch 13 protruding from the front of the character doll 3 has been turned on, data processing (B-E) corresponding to each switch operation (steps 84 to 89) is performed. , returns to the standby state in step 83.

FIG. 6(b) shows the flow of an interrupt subroutine that checks whether or not the switch has been operated, updates various counters, and checks reserved times. In this embodiment, the interrupt processing is forcibly performed every 0.25 seconds, except when the interrupt is disabled.

When entering the subroutine (step 101), step 1
After the value of the minute counter is decremented by 1 in step 02, it is determined in step 103 whether or not the value of the counter has become 0. In this embodiment, a value of 239 is set in advance in the minute counter at the time of initial setting (step 81) and step 104 in FIG. If the determination in step 103 is NO, the process directly proceeds to step 111, but if YES, it is determined that one minute has passed since the previous count, so in the next step 105. After advancing the current time by 1 minute,
In steps 106 to 110, it is determined whether there is an alarm request at the relevant time.

That is, the reference time and the reservation time are compared every minute after the reference time (step 107), and if it is determined in step 108 that the two match, the start address of the reservation area where the reservation details are stored is set as an alarm. In this embodiment, up to three sets of alarm requests are allowed to be set in the alarm area (step 109). It is possible to reserve three sets of reservations including requests at all times in the control unit 56. Therefore, if it is determined in step 106 that the alarm area is full, all reservations are checked in step 110 to see if it is possible to reserve any more reservations. After checking the time, the process moves to the next step 111.

Steps 111 to 115 are processing steps for various timer counters that are set and used in the program, and in step 111, it is determined that the 20 second or 3 minute timer is operating because the timer flag is set. For example, set the value of the timer counter to 1.
(step 112). Next step 113
If it is determined that the value of the timer counter has become 0 and has counted up, the timer flag is cleared and returned to the initial state (step 114), and then the count value of the 2-second or 5-second timer is reset. Step 115) becomes minus one, and the timer processing ends.

Steps 116 to 118 are steps for inspecting switch operation status.

That is, the switches 13 and 34 are read and checked in step 116, and only when it is determined in step 117 that the switch has changed from the off state to the on state, the switch flag is set (step 118). Exit from the subroutine (step 119), therefore, the interrupt processing rate by the subroutine is 0, 2.
The on/off state of the switch is sampled every 5 seconds, and even if the same switch is pressed continuously or there is chattering, the control unit determines that it is a single switch operation and prevents malfunctions.

FIG. 7(a) shows the flow of alarm processing A when alarm request data is set in the alarm area due to the reservation time and current time matching during the interrupt subroutine in FIG. 6(b). , starts processing (step 140), and step 141
If it is determined that the 2-second or 5-second timer is already running, the process waits until the timer times up to clear the switch area after a certain interval from the previous process. Switch section 61
It is possible to accept input from the computer, clear the word selection and alarm end flags (step 143), and turn on the power to the amplifier 59 (step 144).
After completing the preparation for alarm processing, proceed to the following steps 145 to 145.
The process moves to the alarm display cycle indicated by 167.

In step 145, the number of alarm repetitions is first set in accordance with the content of the alarm to be displayed. In step 159, a melody arranged from a well-known song that lasts for a predetermined period of time is sequentially pronounced in each voice consisting of words, and in step 147.1 between each pronunciation.
2 by activating the 2 second timer at 52.163.
A time interval of seconds is set as one display cycle. Then, for wake-up calls with the selected words "Good morning" and sleep calls with "Good night," the above cycle is repeated three times, and if other words are selected, a cycle is displayed only once. After execution, the judgment in step 165 is made to exit from the alarm display cycle and proceed to step 168.

Also, if it is determined in step 155 that the code number of the reserved word is 1 or 2, ``good morning'' or ``good night'', the melody corresponding to the word is selected in step 158, but in the case of other words, , step 1
The value of the melody counter is sequentially shifted in steps 56 and 157, so that the number of songs is changed every time alarm processing is performed.

Furthermore, the 2 seconds of silence between each pronunciation (steps 149 and 15)
4.167) and when the melody is sounded (step 161)
In this case, the signal input by suppressing the operation switch 13 protruding from the front of the character/puppet 3 is accepted, and even if the cycle is in the middle of displaying an alarm, the cycle is exited and the process moves to step 168. Even so, the 5TART signal applied to the melody generating device 58 is stopped in steps 168 to 172, and the 5TOP signal is sent at the same time, so that the melody being displayed can be forcibly stopped.

When the display cycle is completed as described above, first the 5-second timer is started (Step 173), the switch area is cleared (Step 174) to enable reception of switch input, and then the above-mentioned alarm is displayed in Step 175. The first address of the reservation contents executed in the cycle is saved, and the number of alarm request data is decreased by -1 in step 176.
After that, in step 177, it is determined whether the requested data remains in the alarm area. Such a judgment is
If it is ES, it can be seen that all the alarms that require processing at this point have been processed, so the amplifier 59 is stopped (step 178), the alarm end flag is set (step 179), and a 3-minute timer is started. (Step 180) and clearing the switch area (Step 181), the cancellation of the reservation can be accepted and the alarm processing B is ended (Step 182).

If the determination in step 177 is No, it is known that multiple reservations have been made for the same time, but there are other reservations that have timed up during alarm processing.
In step 183, the alarm request data is shifted one step and the next data is retrieved. In this embodiment, the retrieved data is not processed immediately until the 5 second timer started in step 173 times out in step 189. Accept the input of the cancel switch (step 18)
4) When the cancel switch is turned on, the reservation of the executed alarm saved in step 175 is cleared, and after the reservation is canceled in step 185), the melody of the processing success image is outputted in step 186), and the switch area (Step 187) and start the 2 second timer (Step 188).
A time interval of 2 seconds is forcibly provided from the melody output of 86. If it is determined in step 189 that the 2 second or 5 second timer has timed up, step 19
After clearing the switch area with 0, go to step 1 again.
The process returns to step 45 and executes an alarm display cycle for the next alarm.

FIG. 7(b) shows the word selection process B in FIG. 6(a).
The process starts (step 191).
Then, in step 192, the controller 56 sends an on signal to the transistor switch 66 to activate the amplifier 59, and then, in step 193, it is determined whether or not the word selection switch was turned on while the 20 second timer was counting. Ru. If this determination is YES, it is determined that the word selection switch has already been turned on within 20 seconds and the word selection process C has been performed, and the display of the next word is requested, so the word selection code is Advance the number by 1 (step 194)
After that, a 20-second timer and flag are set (step 195) to enable receiving and receiving other processing commands such as reservation and cancellation, and a request to output words is issued to the voice generator 57 (step 195). Step 196) outputs the word specified by the word selection code number. After that, the operation of the amplifier device 59 is stopped (step 197), and the switch area is cleared (step 198), so that the next switch pressing operation can be accepted (step 199).
.

FIG. 7(C) shows the flow of the reservation process C in FIG. 6(a). The reservation process starts (step 200).
First, in step 201, it is determined whether the 20 second timer is counting.

If this determination is No, the switch area is immediately cleared (step 208) and the process ends without performing the reservation process. However, if the determination in step 201 is YES, it is determined that the word to be processed next has been spontaneously selected by pressing the word selection switch and performing the word selection process B described above, and the process proceeds to the following reservation process. .

First, in step 202, the 20-second timer and flag are reset, the amplifier 59 is activated (step 203), and the reserved area is checked (
Step 204) If it is determined in step 205 that there is no vacancy in the reservation area, the number of reservations exceeding the specified number has already been made and no more reservations can be made, so a melody with an image of failure is generated from the melody generator 58. After outputting (step 206), the amplifying device 59 is stopped and the process ends in step 207).

On the other hand, if the determination in step 205 is YES, interrupts are prohibited between step 210 and step 212, and the current time and serial number are imported (step 21
1) Then, set the time and serial number in the reserved area (step 213).

The current time and serial number may correspond to Japan Standard Time, but in this embodiment, the reference is the time when the battery 20 is set, and each day is expressed in minutes from 0 to 1439. The current time is expressed as , and the day of the week is specifically displayed by associating each day of the week from the reference time with a serial number from 1 to 7.

Next, in step 214, it is determined whether the word selected prior to the reservation process is a special word representing r start 1, such as "Hajimaruyo".

If the determination is No, proceed directly to the next step 216.
If the answer is YES, the reservation time set in the reservation area in step 215 is forcibly set back by 5 minutes, so that when the timer is activated and the alarm is processed, the television program, etc. is actually displayed. Starting at 5
This makes it possible to notify the user several minutes in advance so that preparations for program recording, etc. can be made sufficiently.Next, in step 216, it is determined whether the reservation content is a daily reservation content such as a wake-up call (see FIG. 6). It is determined from the contents of the switch area whether the weekly switch was turned on in step 86 or the daily switch was turned on in step 87 of a), and if the determination is YES, the serial number set in step 213 is set to 0. It displays that it is a daily reservation (step 217), and further, in step 218, the screen shown in FIG. 7 (
After setting the code number corresponding to the word displayed during the word selection processing shown in b) in the reservation area and completing the reservation for one group, the step of issuing a request to the melody generator 58 to output a melody with a success image. 219), the operator is informed that the reservation has been successfully made.

Thereafter, in step 22, the power supply to the amplifier device 59 is stopped.
0), clear the switch area (step 221)
The series of reservation processing ends (step 222).

FIG. 7(d) shows the flow of the cancellation process in FIG. 6(a), and when the process is started (step 230), a driving voltage is first applied to the amplifier device 59 and it is activated. Then, in step 232, it is determined whether the 3-minute timer is in operation. The 3-minute timer is set at the end of the alarm processing A described above, and if the determination is YES, it can be seen that three minutes have passed since the end of the alarm processing A. In such a case, proceed to step 233, reset the 3-minute timer and the relevant flag (step 233), and then import the execution address for alarm processing saved in step 175 of FIG. 7(a) (step 233). Step 23
4) Further, the reservation area corresponding to the execution address is cleared (step 235) to erase the reservation contents for which the alarm processing has been completed.

On the other hand, if the determination in step 232 is No and the 'cancel switch is pressed regardless of alarm processing, it is further determined in step 236 whether or not the 20 second timer is counting. The 20 second timer is set only when a predetermined word is selected during the word selection process in step 195 of FIG. The device 59 is stopped and the process ends (step 239), but if the determination is YES
If so, it can be determined that the user actively desires the cancellation process, so the process moves to the following step 240 and the cancellation operation is performed.

First, in step 240, the 20-second timer and flag are reset to the initial state, and then an OK flag for determining and displaying whether or not the process was successful is reset (step 241).Next, in step 242, Step 2 is to search the first address in the reserved area and determine whether it matches the word selected during the word selection process prior to the cancellation process.
Done at 43. If the determination is No, the process moves to step 246 and sets the address of the next reserved area.
The determination in step 243 is continued until the entire reservation area has been checked in step 247, but if the determination in step 243 is YES, the corresponding reservation area is cleared in step 244), the OK flag is set in step 245), and the process is cancelled. By sequentially performing the processing, all reserved contents in the same M leaf are erased.

Next, in step 248, it is determined whether the OK flag is 1 or not, and if the determination is YES, it is determined that at least one reservation cancellation has been executed in step 244.
In step 250, a melody with an image of success is output from the melody generator 58, and if the answer is No, it is determined that the corresponding reservation was not found and the reservation was not canceled at all, so a melody with an image of failure is output. is requested from the melody generator (step 249).

Thereafter, a two-second timer is started in step 251) to provide a time interval between the next display operation, the amplifier 59 is stopped in step 252), and the switch area is cleared in step 253) to perform the cancellation process. Exit (
Step 254).

FIG. 7(e) shows the flow of the play process E in FIG. 6(a), excluding the case where the operation switch 13 of the timer unit 2 is pressed during a specific period during alarm processing. The process is started, and a melody or words can be output randomly in conjunction with the pressing operation of the operation switch 13. That is, the process starts (step 2
60), and after starting the amplifier 59 (step 261), the current time is taken in (step 262). Here, in the data table, data such as the melody and words to be output or code numbers that specify the display contents are randomly set in advance, and the step is performed using the current time value obtained in step 262. 263
The address in the data table is calculated in step 26, and the data in the data table is extracted from the address.
4). In step 265, if the extracted data is a word, an output request is issued to the voice generator g57 (step 266); if it is a melody, an output request is issued to the melody generator 58.
After issuing an output request to (step 267), the power supply to the amplifier device 59 is stopped (step 268), the switch area is cleared (step 269), and the process ends (
step 270).

The above-mentioned sound is generated continuously every time the operation switch 13 is pressed, and the displayed content is randomly selected from a group of reserved words or melodies, so it is full of surprises. The acoustic display is a combination of words or melodies.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention makes it possible to accept and execute duplicate reservations, so it has the advantage of being able to perform alarm processing with different repetition times depending on the degree of importance.
