The present invention relates to an apparatus for automatically selecting and generating a preset message at a corresponding time and a corresponding situation, and more particularly, to an apparatus for generating a selective message using an internal digital bus.

A conventional selection message generating device for generating a selection message under a corresponding time and situation includes at least a message storage unit, a message output unit and a timer. In addition, when the input contents are various, a microprocessor for distinguishing each instruction and processing all operations according to the divided contents is used. Such a selective message generating device is installed in a very small number of electronic products independently and displays the status of annual events or electronic devices, etc., but it is very rarely used.

Meanwhile, in the field of audio / video devices, internal digital buses (D2B) are being applied to simplify the use of the functions of audio / video devices, which are becoming more advanced.

This D2B was developed by PHILIPS and Matsushita Electric, and was adopted in 1989 as an international standard by the International Institute of Electrical and Electronics Standards (IEC). The purpose of the D2B is to provide users with a simple way to use the increasingly advanced features of audio / video equipment. Video devices can communicate with each other and automatically perform the required actions. The electrical characteristics of D2B comply with the standards of the International Electrical and Electronics Association, and the D2B specifications for the upper parts of the command system, etc., can achieve global compatibility, and can interconnect audio / video devices of many manufacturers. There is this.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for generating a selective message using a D2B which automatically generates a corresponding message when a user sets an appointment time or annual event in advance.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a selective message generating apparatus using a D2B which automatically generates a corresponding message when a predetermined situation occurs if a user sets a predetermined situation in advance.

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

In the following description, the same reference numerals are used for the same elements in the first and second embodiments of the selective message generating apparatus using D2B. However, it should be noted that the operations of the components of the second embodiment which are simply mentioned are performed similarly to the operations of the components in the first embodiment.

In addition, although an output device such as an amplifier and a television may be used for an audio / video device that will adopt D2B, in the following description, the audio output device 20 for outputting a message stored in the message storage unit 18 is a speaker of an amplifier. Explain only to. In addition, it should be noted that such an audio output device 20 includes a D2B chip.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram according to an embodiment of a selective message generating apparatus implemented using D2B. When a user sets an appointment time or a yearly event, a selective message generation using D2B automatically generates a corresponding message at a set time. The device is shown. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing in detail the structure of the memory unit 22 in the configuration of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the selection message generating apparatus using the D2B includes a memory unit 22 that first records the date, time, and message selection index, and this memory unit 22, as shown in FIG. An index 26 section for storing a plurality of message selection indexes and a storage field section 24 for storing a predetermined time according to a user's request in the plurality of message selection indexes stored in the index section 26 are provided. The index of such a memory portion may generally be provided by the manufacturer. That is, the manufacturer may set an index indicating the performance of a specific function in advance at the time of manufacture. Accordingly, the user can select and use a preset index usefully. An example of an index that may be set by a manufacturer will be described with reference to FIG. 2, where index 1 indicates a message of wake-up time, index 2 indicates a message of appointment time, and index 3 indicates a message of television program recording.

In addition, the selection message generating apparatus using the D2B includes a message storage unit 18 by storing messages corresponding to a plurality of message selection indexes by a predetermined area, and a voice memory may be used for such a message storage unit.

In addition, the selection message generator using the D2B displays the current time, and the user selects a function key and a message index stored in the memory unit 22 to allow the user to select a message index stored in the memory unit 22. A timer 10 having a function key and a setting key for generating a predetermined first signal when a user inputs the keys and sets a time in a corresponding index;

In response to the first signal, a setting time correlating to the selected message index is recorded in the memory unit 22, and the current time of the timer 10 is periodically checked to determine the second time when the set time is confirmed. D2B protocol generation and analysis unit 12 for generating a;

A message storage area selection unit (16) for searching and selecting a storage area (address) of a message corresponding to the selected message index in response to the second signal;

And a D2B chip 14 generating a third signal in response to the second signal to output the message of the storage area (address) of the searched and selected message storage unit 18 to the voice output device 20. do. The third signal is applied to a D2B chip (not shown) in the voice output device 20 through the D2B line, thereby enabling the voice output device 20 to operate.

The following describes an optional message generator that outputs a message of wake-up time (get up quickly, the sun is already bright) when the user selects index 1.

First, when the user selects the index 1 stored in the memory unit 22 using the setting key and the function key of the timer 10 and sets the wake-up time to 07:00, the D2B protocol generation and analysis unit 12 Detects a key input signal of the timer 10 generated according to the user's selection. The D2B protocol generation and analysis unit 12 that detects the key input signal records the wake-up time 07:00 in the storage field unit 24 of the memory unit 22 and correlates the stored time with the memory unit 22. In the index section 26 records the message index 1 of the wake-up time. Thereafter, the D2B protocol generation and analysis unit 12 checks the time of the timer 10 at a predetermined period. If the corresponding time 07:00 is confirmed during the time check of the timer 10, the D2B protocol generation and analysis unit 12 generates a signal informing that the set time is confirmed. In response to the time confirmation signal, the message storage area selection unit 16 checks the range of the address area in which the message corresponding to index 1 is stored, and among the messages stored in the message storage unit 18, Select a range. On the other hand, as the D2B protocol generation and analysis unit 12 confirms that the set time is 07:00, the D2B chip 14 turns on the power of the amplifier 20, which is a voice output device, to the AUX terminal or the PHONO terminal of the amplifier. The command of input conversion is sent continuously. At this time, if the command of power-on and input switching to the amplifier 20 succeeds, the corresponding message selected in the message storage unit 18 occurs as soon as possible. The sun is already lit and the output of the amplifier 20 is output. After outputting the selected message from the message storage unit 18, when a user inputs a key of the timer 10 to apply a power-off command (POWER-OFF) of the amplifier 20, the D2B protocol is generated and interpreted. The unit 12 cuts off the connection of the amplifier 20 by using the D2B chip 14. As a result, the situation of selection message generation ends.

3 is a block diagram of an apparatus for generating a selection message according to another embodiment of the present invention. If the user sets a predetermined situation in advance, the selection message using D2B automatically generates a corresponding message when the set situation occurs. The generator is shown.

Differences in the selection message generating apparatus of FIGS. 1 and 3 are the timer 10 and the sensor unit 30, and another difference is the structure of the memory unit 22. An example of the situation that can be set in the following description is limited to the case where an intruder occurs. Therefore, in addition to the structure of the memory unit 22 shown in FIG. 2, an index corresponding to an intruder should be added.

Hereinafter, a selective message generating apparatus using D2B which automatically generates an intruder alarm in response to an output from a sensor when an intruder occurs.

The sensor unit 30 applies a detection signal to the D2B protocol generation and analysis unit 12 when an intruder occurs. The D2B protocol generation and analysis section 12 interprets the sensed signal and applies a predetermined signal to the message storage area selection section 16. The message storage area message storage area selection unit 16 then checks the index of intruder occurrence in the memory unit 22. In addition, the message storage area selection unit 16 confirms the range of the address area in which the message corresponding to the index is stored, and selects the range of the confirmed address area from the messages stored in the message storage unit 18. On the other hand, the D2B protocol generation and analysis unit 12 turns on the power supply of the amplifier 20 using the D2B chip 14, and continuously sends an input switching command to the AUX terminal or the PHONO terminal of the amplifier 20. . At this time, if the command of power-on and input switching of the amplifier 20 succeeds, the corresponding message (invasion or alarm) selected by the message storage unit 18 is output to the speaker of the amplifier 20.

In the above, the user is informed of the message of the intruder according to the signal detected by the sensor, but by installing the output device to the outside, it is possible to implement a safety system such as chasing the intruder. On the other hand, by using a sensor to detect the completion of the operation or abnormality of the kitchen equipment, it may be to generate a message when the situation occurs. In this case, however, the index corresponding to the completion of the operation or abnormality of the kitchen appliance should be set, and the message corresponding to the situation should be stored in the message storage unit.

As described above, if the user sets the appointment time or annual event in advance, there is an advantage that can occur by automatically selecting the corresponding message at the set time. In addition, if the user sets a predetermined situation in advance, there is an advantage that can occur by automatically selecting the message when the set situation occurs.
