The present invention relates to an audio device, and more particularly, to a sleep function of setting a sound function suitable for a user's sleep time while listening to music and images using the audio device, according to the play operation and time setting of the audio device. The present invention relates to an auto sleep method.

In a conventional sound device, the sound device is attached to a remote control means or a set of sound devices so that the sound device is automatically turned off during a sound sleep time of the user while playing music or receiving a broadcast signal and listening to music or video through a predetermined player unit. When the desired time zone is set by the predetermined setting button, the sound device is automatically turned off by cutting off the power supply when the counter of the real time clock means of the sound device reaches the set time.

As described above, in the conventional sound system, a sleep function is implemented so that the user sets a sleep time virtually to specify a reservation time, so that it is impossible to predict an accurate sleep time, and the player (CD, tape, LDP, LP, etc.) Due to the different driving time depending on the type of), it was difficult to set the driving time of the player.

In addition, when the playback of the player is completed before the set reservation time has elapsed or when the broadcasting time of the broadcasting station ends while receiving a broadcast signal and listening to the video signal while the set reservation time has not elapsed, The device is kept in an on state, causing unnecessary power consumption, causing a breakdown of the audio device, and when there is a program or music that you want to listen to, if the sound device is turned off after a set time, the program and music you want to listen to. There was a cumbersome problem of having to turn on the audio device again because I could not watch it.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to enter a sleep mode when the player (CD, tape, LP, LDP, tuner, TV) operation is completed before reaching a set sleep time. If the player (CD, tape, LP, LDP) is still running even after reaching the set sleep time, the player enters the sleep mode after the player is finished and stops the sound equipment. If the player (tuner, TV) is in operation, it immediately enters the sleep mode and stops the audio device, thereby reducing unnecessary power consumption caused by the difference between the player's running time and the set time, and enjoying the desired music and video. It is to provide an automatic slip method of the sound equipment to improve the convenience and reliability of the sound equipment by using .

A feature of the present invention for achieving the above object is, in the automatic sleep method of an audio device having a CD, LP, LDP, tape player, tuner player and TV player, it is determined whether or not the set reservation time has elapsed. First course; A second step of entering a sleep mode and stopping the operation of the audio device when the reproduction of the signal of the player is terminated when the reservation time set in the first step has not elapsed; A third step of determining the type of the player in the signal reproducing operation when the reservation time set in the first step elapses; A fourth step of stopping the operation of the audio device by entering a sleep mode when the signal playback of the corresponding player is terminated if the player in the third step is the CD, LP, LDP or tape player; In the third process, if the player operating the signal reproducing operation is the tuner player or the TV player, a fifth process of immediately entering the sleep mode and stopping the operation of the audio device is included.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a schematic block diagram of an acoustic device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart for realizing an automatic sleep method of the audio device according to the present invention.

As can be seen in FIG. 1, the sound apparatus according to the present invention sets the reservation time data applied through a setting button attached to a remote control means or a set of sound equipment, and sets the time data applied from the real time counter means. And a system control unit 10 for outputting a control signal and a player unit 20 for reproducing sound data recorded on a predetermined recording medium or receiving a broadcast signal. When detecting the key signal, the player unit 20 is configured to apply data on the sleep setting to receive the operation state signal from the player unit 20 side. On the other hand, the player unit 20 includes a CD (Compact Disk) player 21 for reproducing a signal recorded on a compact disc, a tape player 22 for reproducing a signal recorded on a magnetic tape, and a signal recorded on an LP disk. LP (Long Play) player 23, an LDP (Laser Disk Play) player 24 for reproducing video and audio signals recorded on a laser disk, and a tuner (Tuner) for receiving and reproducing an AM or FM radio broadcast signal. A player 25 and a TV player 26 which receives a television broadcast signal and reproduces video and audio signals.

The acoustic device having the above function operates in the order shown in FIG. 2 when performing the automatic sleep operation.

Applying a predetermined power to the sound equipment to operate the sound equipment (step 1) (step 2), for example, to play a music signal through the CD player 21 or to receive a radio broadcast through the tuner player 25. In the meantime, the system control unit 10 detects whether or not the slip key is input from the slip setting key attached to the remote control means or the set of the acoustic equipment (step 3). At this time, if the system controller 10 does not detect the input of the signal for setting the sleep from the remote control means or the sleep setting key, it continuously plays the music signal or receives the broadcast signal in the normal operation mode (step 4). The input of the key signal is detected (step 5). When the key signal for power off is detected, the system controller 10 stops the operation of the audio device by cutting off the power supply (step 12), and continuously reproduces or broadcasts when the key signal for power off is not detected. The reception operation is continued to output a music signal and a voice signal to the user. When detecting the input of the key signal for the automatic sleep setting in the detection of step 3, the system control unit 10 analyzes the applied key signal, sets the time data for entering the automatic sleep mode and stores it in a predetermined address of the memory means. When the storage of the time data is completed (step 6), the counter means is driven for the set time (step 7), and it is detected whether or not a player is operated (step 8). If there is no player operated in the detection of step 8, the key signal for automatic sleep setting is initialized and terminated (step 14). When detecting a player that is operated, data for automatic sleep mode setting is applied to the detected player. The player is set to output an operation state signal for automatic sleep (step 9). Thereafter, the system control unit 10 compares the time data applied from the real-time counter means with the time data stored in the memory means, and determines whether the predetermined time has elapsed (step 10).

If the predetermined time set in step 1 has not elapsed, the system control unit 10 operates the CD player 21, the tape (TAPE) player 22, the LP player 23, the LDP player 24, and the tuner player which were in operation. (25) Or determine whether the TV player 26 has stopped (step 11), and if the player has not stopped and returns to step 10 to check whether the player stops repeatedly, the sleep mode In step 12, the power supply is cut off to stop the operation of the sound equipment (step 13).

On the other hand, if the predetermined time set in step 10 has elapsed, the system control unit 10 determines whether the operation state signal is input from the player unit 20, and thus the CD player 21, the tape player 22, and the LP. The player 23, the LDP player 24, the tuner player 25 or the TV player 26 are distinguished from each other (step 15), and the operation state signal is supplied to the CD player 21 and the tape (TAPE). When input from the player 22, the LP player 23 or the LDP player 24 checks whether the corresponding player is in operation (step 16), and if the corresponding player is in operation, returns to the step 7 to perform a repetitive operation, and If the player is not in operation, the system enters the sleep mode (step 12) to cut off the power supply to stop the operation of the audio device (step 13). When the operation state signal is input from the tuner player 25 or the TV player 26 in step 15, the system controller 10 causes the tuner player 25 or the TV player 26 to perform AM, FM or TV broadcast. Check whether the receiving operation is being performed (step 17), and if the player is performing the broadcasting reception operation, the device immediately enters the sleep mode (step 12), cuts off the power supply, and stops the operation of the audio device (step 12). 13) If the player is not performing the broadcast receiving operation, the process returns to step 7 to perform the operation.

As described above, the present invention sets the sleep time zone desired by the user during listening to music and watching video through an audio device, and assigns it to the automatic sleep mode, so that the CD player 21 and the tape player before the set sleep time has elapsed. 22) When the operation of the LP player 23, the LDP player 24, the tuner player 25, or the TV player 26 is detected, the system enters the sleep mode to stop the system and the set sleep time elapses. If the CD player 21, the tape player 22, the LP player 23, or the LDP player 24 is in operation, even if the sleep time has elapsed, the CD player 21, the tape player 22, the LP player 23 or the LDP player 24 is operated until the completion of the operation. Stop the player. Also, in the case of the tuner player 25 or the TV player 26, if the tuner player 25 continues to operate even after the set sleep time has elapsed, the tuner player 25 forcibly enters the sleep mode and stops the player. Therefore, it is possible to reduce unnecessary power consumption caused by the difference between the player's running time and the setting time, and to sufficiently enjoy the desired music and images, thereby improving convenience and reliability in using an audio device.
