In FIG. 2, reference numeral 40 denotes a calendar timer that generates predetermined time data and generates date (year / month / day) data based on the time data, and 42 denotes an alarm mode by the control panel 30. If set, the data storage unit stores the alarm setting time data according to the alarm mode and the melody state selected in the alarm mode, and the setting state of each mode.

In addition, reference numeral 43 is a lamp driver for lighting the lamp 14 installed on the front of the sound generating apparatus 10 as shown in FIG. 1 when the user's approach is detected under low light under the control of the controller 32. , 44 is an LCD panel driver for driving the LCD panel 13 installed on the front of the sound generator 10 as shown in FIG. 1 under the control of the controller 32. The LCD panel driver 44 Under low control, the LCD panel 13 is turned off under the control of the controller 32.

First, the alarm mode setting process in the sound generating apparatus to which the present invention having the above-described configuration is applied will be described in detail.

When the user operates the alarm button 16 of the control panel 30, the controller 32 waits for the time input corresponding to the alarm time and then sets the time in response to the number of times the set button 17 is operated. After the alarm button 16 is operated, the time set at the time is input as the time of the alarm time and stored in the data storage 42.

Next, the operation of the sound generating device having the illuminance / adaptive lamp function according to an embodiment of the present invention in the state where the alarm time is set through the above process will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3. .

First, the controller 32 controls the LCD panel driver 44 so that the current time corresponding to the calendar data applied from the calendar timer 40 is output through the LCD panel 13, and simultaneously detects the human body. It is determined whether a user approach is detected through the sensor 12 (step 50).

As a result of the determination, when the user enters a predetermined area from the sound generating device and the user approach is detected through the human body sensor 12 (YES in step 50), the controller 32 controls the second voice memory 36. By applying a predetermined address signal ADD to the DAC 38, voice data for a specific melody selected by the user is read from the second voice memory 36 and applied to the DAC 38. The DAC 38 converts the voice data applied from the second voice memory 36 to the amplifier 39 so as to output a predetermined melody sound through the speaker 20.

Then, the controller 34 determines whether the peripheral illuminance is less than the standard illuminance based on the illuminance detection signal applied from the illuminance sensor 11 (step 54). If the installed illuminance is less than the standard illuminance (YES in step 54), a predetermined control signal is applied to the lamp driver 43 to start the power supply to the lamp 14 so as to light the lamp 14. (Step 56).

Subsequently, the control unit 32 determines the elapsed time of the preset time (step 58), and if it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed while the lamp 14 is turned on (YES in step 58). The controller 32 applies a predetermined control signal to the lamp driver 43 to cut off the power supply to the lamp 14 to turn off the lamp 14 (step 60), and then returns to an initial state. .

However, in contrast to this case, if the peripheral illuminance detected by the illuminance sensor 11 is greater than or equal to the standard illuminance (NO in step 54), the controller 32 controls the control panel 30. After judging whether the time signal mode is set on the basis of the operation state of the time signal button 15 configured in step 62 (step 62), and as a result, the time signal button 15 is operated to determine that the time signal mode is set (step 62). YES), the controller 32 determines whether the current time has reached the right time based on the time data according to the current time applied from the calendar timer 40 (step 64).

As a result of the determination in step 64, if the current time reaches the right time (YES in step 64), the controller 32 transmits the current time to the first voice memory 34, for example, 'PM 3:00'. When the address signal ADD is applied to the voice signal corresponding to the PM 3 o'clock, for example, 'bird sound', 'bird sound' read from the first voice memory 34 by the address signal ADD. The corresponding voice data is applied to the DAC 38, is converted into an analog signal, and then amplified by the amplifier 39, and then corresponds to the 'bird sound' through the speaker 20 installed on the rear of the sound generator. It is output as an audio signal (step 66).

Then, the controller 32 determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed (step 68), and as a result, the state in which a sound corresponding to a specific time zone is output through the step 66 continues for a predetermined time. As a result of the determination in step 68 (YES in step 68), the controller 32 stops applying the address signal ADD to the first voice memory 34 and the DAC 38 Is made inactive so that the output of the sound output through the speaker is stopped (step 70).

On the other hand, if the determination result in step 64 is that the current time has not reached the right time (NO in step 64), the controller 32 determines whether the alarm mode is set (step 72), and in this state, the user If the alarm mode is set in the controller 32 by operating the alarm button 16 (YES in step 72), the current time corresponding to the time data applied from the calendar timer 40 is the data storage unit. It is determined whether the alarm time corresponding to the alarm time data stored in 42 is reached (step 74).

If it is determined in step 74 that the current time reaches the alarm time (YES in step 74), the control unit 32 sends an address signal ADD corresponding to the melody selected by the user to the second voice memory ( 36) to read the voice data corresponding to the melody from the second voice memory 36 so that the voice data is applied to the DAC (38). Thereafter, the controller 32 activates the DAC 38 so that the voice data read out from the second voice memory 36 is converted into an analog signal by the DAC 38 and connected to the subsequent stage ( 39, the sound corresponding to the melody selected to correspond to the alarm time is output through the speaker 20 (step 76).

Subsequently, the controller 32 determines whether the alarm button 16 configured on the control panel 30 has been operated (step 78), and as a result of the determination, the user outputs the melody sound output through the speaker 20. If it is determined that the alarm button 16 is operated to stop the operation (YES in step 78), the control unit 32 stops applying the address signal ADD to the second voice memory 36, and The DAC 38 is made inactive so that the output of the sound output through the speaker is stopped (step 80).

On the other hand, if the operation state of the alarm button 16 is not determined as a result of the determination in step 78 (NO in step 78), the control unit 32 is based on the time data applied from the calendar timer (40) If it is determined whether the set time has elapsed (step 82), and as a result of the determination, if the preset time has elapsed while the alarm button 16 is not operated (NO in step 78), the controller 32 performs the step 80 Next, the application of the address signal ADD to the second voice memory 36 is stopped and the DAC 38 is inactivated to stop the output of the sound output through the speaker.

As described above, according to the sound generating device having the illuminance / adaptive lamp function according to an embodiment of the present invention, when a user approaches the sound generating device, the melody sound selected by the user is output from the sound generating device. In addition, when the ambient light is less than the standard illuminance in that state, the lamp is automatically turned on to provide a predetermined melody sound and stable lighting to the user.

In addition, according to the sound generating device having an illuminance / adaptive lamp function according to an embodiment of the present invention, the differential sound is output at every hour so that the user can not only accurately recognize the hourly hour but also the user's time notification. By selecting an alarm sound output from among various kinds of melodies, a sound signal corresponding to a user's preference can be output from the sound generator.
