The present invention relates to a voice microwave system and a control method, and more particularly, to a voice microwave system and a control method capable of transmitting a voice message by a plurality of users using a voice memory chip in a microwave oven.

In the prior art voice microwave system and control method, the user is guided and explained the cooking by the signal recognized through the voice memory chip. That is, when the user cooks using the microwave, the user inputs a message into the microwave by voice. Then, the microwave oven stores the input message in the memory, and guides and explains the selected dish by changing each function (playing / saving / deleting) according to a user's call.

At this time, the memory recognizes only one voice and stores the user's message.

On the other hand, recently released voice microwave ovens have various functions such as automatic cooking, manual cooking, and thawing and warming, and accordingly, the capacity and size of the memory for storing various functions are increasing. Accordingly, the utilization of the spatial area of the memory becomes important.

However, the voice microwave oven according to the related art is limited to only one memory area for storing voice signals, and thus it is only possible to store and transmit a message corresponding to a voice signal of one user in the memory.

As a result, large amounts of memory could not be used efficiently, and various expressions were difficult. For this reason, the frequency of use has decreased.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a voice microwave system and a control method capable of reproducing, storing, and deleting a voice signal by dividing one memory into a plurality of storage spaces.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a voice microwave system and a control method comprising: a memory divided into a plurality of user areas; Control means for controlling storage / reproduction / deletion of data in a plurality of user areas of the memory; A key input unit for inputting the storage / playback / delete function; A microphone for storing a voice message of a user in the memory; And a speaker for outputting a message controlled by the control means as voice.

Hereinafter, a voice microwave system and a control method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram of a voice microwave system and a control method according to the present invention.

The voice microwave system and control method of the present invention include a key input unit 10 for inputting a signal according to a function to be set, a microphone 20 for inputting a message with a voice of a user, and a memory for storing a message ( 40), a control unit 30 for controlling reproduction / recording / deletion of the message stored in the memory, and a speaker 50 for outputting the message as voice.

That is, a memory key having a function of playing / storing / deleting a message is input through the key input unit 10. On the other hand, through the microphone 20 to input a message to the voice of the user. The input message is stored in the memory 40, and the memory 40 is composed of a memory area allocated to a plurality of users. The controller 30 controls to play / store / delete the message stored in the memory. The controlled message is output as a voice through the speaker 50 to inform the user.

An operation process of the voice microwave system and the control method according to the above configuration will be described below.

2 is a functional operation flowchart of a voice microwave system and a control method.

Pressing the memory key of the key input unit 10 once performs the playback function, pressing the memory key twice performs the storage function, and pressing the memory key three times performs the delete function.

When the user presses the memory key of the key input unit 10 once to perform the play function, the control unit 30 determines whether the selected memory key is a play signal (step 100).

If the control unit 30 determines that the reproduction signal, the control unit 30 reproduces the corresponding message in the user's allocated memory. The reproduced signal is spoken to the user through the speaker 50.

That is, when the user who selects the playback function in step 100 presses the first key through the key input unit 10 (step 102), the controller 30 plays the function corresponding to the first key message in the user's allocated memory. (Step 104).

In addition, when the user who selects the playback function in step 100 presses the second key through the key input unit 10 (step 106), the controller 30 performs a function corresponding to the second key message in the user's allocated memory. Playback (step 108).

If the user who selected the playback function in step 100 presses the nth key through the key input unit 10 (step 110), the controller 30 plays the function corresponding to the nth key message in the user's allocated memory. (Step 112).

However, if the user wants a storage function instead of a playback function, the storage function is performed by pressing the memory key of the key input unit 10 twice in step 100.

The controller 30 determines whether the selected memory key is a stored signal (step 200).

If the control unit 30 determines that the storage signal, the control unit 30 stores the voice message of the user input through the microphone 20 to the allocated memory of each user.

That is, when the user who selects the storage function in step 200 presses the first key through the key input unit 10 (step 202), the user's voice message of the user corresponding to the first key through the microphone 20 is input. The control unit 30 is stored in the allocated memory (step 204).

In addition, when the user who selected the storage function in step 200 presses the second key through the key input unit 10 (step 206), the user's voice message is assigned to the user corresponding to the second key through the microphone 20. The control unit 30 stores the stored memory (step 208).

In this way, if the message key to be stored by the user is the n th key, when the user presses the n th key through the key input unit 10 (step 210), the user's voice message is transmitted through the microphone 20. The controller 30 stores the allocated memory of the user corresponding to the bunkey (step 212).

However, when the user executes the delete function instead of the playback or storage in the function operation process, the user presses the memory key of the key input unit 10 three times.

Pressing the memory key three times performs the delete function (step 300).

When the user presses the first key through the key input unit 10 to delete the message of the first key (step 302), the controller 30 deletes the voice message of the user stored in the first key (step 304).

If the user presses the second key through the key input unit 10 to delete the message of the second key (step 306), the controller 30 deletes the user's voice message stored in the second key (step 308). ).

In addition, when the user presses the n th key through the key input unit 10 to delete the message of the n key (step 310), the controller 30 deletes the voice message of the user stored in the n key (step 312). ).

In performing the deletion function, the user may again store a message. In addition, different messages are not affected when the deletion function is performed.

Even when the microwave oven is powered off, the stored message or the deleted message is not deleted, and the information is continuously stored.

According to the present invention, a voice chip is used in a microphone to recognize a plurality of people's voices, and accordingly, to receive a signal into a memory allocated to a plurality of users and to execute a function. The function of the microwave is composed of a storage function that allows a user to store a message by voice, a reproduction function of reproducing the stored message, and a deletion function that can delete the message. The function may transmit a message to each user through the set address.

The present invention uses memory-capable voice chips to recognize voice and consequently store voice messages in each user's allocated memory. The use of the memory is a method of using the remaining memory in the currently used voice microwave oven, and gives a function to be used by giving each address of the user to the remaining memory.

Therefore, the present invention classifies and delivers a message to a plurality of users. In addition, by inputting / outputting voice, it is possible to use not only general users but also visually impaired users.

In addition, the present invention can increase the added value of the microwave oven, and can be used, including voice chips capable of memory in all devices such as microwave ovens and other home appliances.
