Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a character learning machine that pronounces the names of characters.

For example, as a conventional character learning machine,
There is a character learning machine shown in Publication No. 68163. This character learning machine used a lamp or sound to indicate whether the name of the picture attached to the language block and the character attached to the character block placed in the character block placement area matched or not.

However, for young children who do not know the names of letters or pictures, the learning machine with the above configuration simply understands the letters corresponding to the pictures as symbols, and is unable to know their names. It was insufficient as a learning machine for orientation.

The present invention was developed in view of the above points, and if a plurality of character blocks each having a different Kiyone kana and a small block having a voiced sound or a half voiced sound are placed in appropriate combinations, this can be achieved. Character learning that solves the above-mentioned conventional inconveniences and allows learning many words with a relatively small number of character blocks by having a structure in which Kiyonekana, Voiced Kana, and Half-Dakuon Kana are pronounced audibly according to the arrangement state. It provides an opportunity for

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. In the figure, 1 is the main body case of the character learning machine, 2 is a plurality of character blocks each with a different Kiyone Kana, and 3 is a block arrangement part where a plurality of character blocks 2 are arranged. Neighboring areas are separated from each other. 4a, 4b
is a small block with a voiced note ``゛'' and a half-voiced note ``゜'', and is shaped like a truncated cone. Reference numeral 5 indicates a small arrangement part formed in the upper right part of each block arrangement location of the block arrangement part 3, into which the small blocks 4a and 4b are inserted and detached freely; 6, the characters of the character blocks arranged in the block arrangement part 3 are magnetically inserted; a sensor section comprising a first identification detection means for identifying the symbols of the small blocks 4a and 4b arranged in the small arrangement section 5 by means of magnetism or the like;
7 is an identification signal detection unit that detects the pattern of signal output from the sensor unit 6; 8 is a signal processing unit that outputs a necessary fundamental wave based on a signal corresponding to the signal output pattern determined by the identification signal detection unit 7; , 9 is an audio signal generation unit that synthesizes a plurality of fundamental waves output from the signal processing unit 8 and outputs an audio signal, and 10 is a small block 4a that converts the audio signal from the audio signal generation unit 9 into sound pressure. , 4b in order from the left, and together with the identification signal detecting section 7, signal processing section 8, and audio signal generating section 9, constitutes a sound generating means.

Note that 11 is a voice button provided on the main body case 1, and when this button is pressed, a command to start sound generation is issued to the signal processing section 8.

In a character learning machine with such a configuration, for example, the first
As shown in the figure, in character block 2, “ha”,
When the character blocks 2 marked with "hi" and "fu" are arranged in the block arrangement part 3, and the small blocks 4a and 4b are arranged in the small arrangement part 5, the sensor part 6 detects each block 2, 4a, 4b according to the The identified identification signal is output, and the identified signal detection section 7 outputs a signal corresponding to a signal output pattern corresponding to each block to the signal processing section 8. When the signal processing section 8 receives this signal, if the voice button 11 is pressed, it outputs a plurality of fundamental waves necessary for each signal to the audio signal generation section 9, and the audio signal generation section 9 generates these fundamental waves. It is synthesized into a voice signal, and the speaker 10 sequentially sounds "ha", "bi",
Pronounce "pu".

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 2, "a", "i", "u"
The character block 2' marked with is placed in the block arrangement section 3.
When the small blocks 4a and 4b are arranged in the small arrangement section 5, the same operation as above is performed.
Since the characters "i゛" and "u゜" do not exist in Japanese, the voiced and half-voiced notes are ignored, and the speaker 10 pronounces "a", "i", and "u" in that order.

In this way, even if the infant does not know the names of the letters, the names of the letters formed according to the combination of the letter block 2 and the small blocks 4a and 4b are pronounced from the speaker 10, so that the infant can learn the letters by himself. It has the advantage of being able to Furthermore, even if character blocks for voiced sound kana and half-voiced sound kana are not prepared, voiced sound kana and half-voiced sound kana can be formed by character block 2 to which clear sounds are attached and small blocks 4a and 4b to which voiced sound marks or semi-dakuon marks are marked. Therefore, a large number of characters can be learned even though the character block 2, which has a relatively large capacity, is small in size, which has the advantage of leading to cost reduction.

As explained above, according to the present invention, a plurality of character blocks each having a different Kiyone kana,
A small block with a voiced note or a half-voiced note attached, a block placement area where at least one of the above-mentioned character blocks can be placed, and a block placement area approximately to the upper right of each location where the character block is placed in the block placement area. a small arrangement section for arranging the small block; a first identification means for identifying characters of a character block arranged in the block arrangement section; and a first identification means for identifying a symbol of a small block arranged in the small arrangement section. Since the second identification means and the first and second identification means are configured to audibly pronounce the character names of the character blocks in consideration of the symbols of the small blocks, even if the child does not know the names of the characters, In addition to being able to learn the names of characters by yourself, you can also learn the character names by yourself without having to prepare character blocks for voiced sound kana and handakuon kana. Since voiced sound kana and half-voiced sound kana can be formed with the block, a large number of characters can be learned despite the small amount of relatively large character blocks, which also has the advantage of leading to cost reduction.
