Description

Alarm clock for selecting alarm sound

The present invention has an electrical connection means for making an electrical connection to the storage means stored in the sound source mounted from the outside, and selects an alarm sound by embedding an electric circuit to reproduce the sound source transmitted from the storage means therein, It relates to a clock that can be modified and listened to, especially a desktop alarm clock.

Various types and methods of alarms for desktop alarm clocks have been researched and developed in various ways. Such research and development is the mainstream of research methods that enable users to hear and wake alarms while sleeping and to make beautiful alarm sounds.

However, there is a case that a table clock that emits one kind of alarm sound for a long time may be fed, and since such an alarm sound is determined at the time of manufacture, the user always hears the same alarm sound regardless of the user's intention or taste. Was present.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an alarm sound selection clock having connecting means and reproducing means for connecting an alarm sound storage means to select an alarm sound according to a user's preference. It is to provide.

A feature of the present invention for achieving the above object, in the alarm sound selection clock to generate a desired alarm by allowing the user to select and install the alarm sound storage means:

Connecting means for electrically connecting the alarm sound storing means;

Sensing means for sensing an alarm sound generation time;

And an alarm sound driving circuit for driving the alarm sound storage means connected to the connection means when the alarm sound generation time is detected by the detection means.

In the present invention, the alarm sound storage means is a semiconductor integrated circuit, the connection means is preferably made of a socket into which the semiconductor integrated circuit can be inserted.

In addition, in the present invention, the socket is preferably formed on the back of the watch body.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, in adding reference numerals to the elements of each drawing, it should be noted that the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals as much as possible even if they are displayed on different drawings. In addition, in the following description, many specific details such as components of a specific circuit are shown, which are provided to help a more general understanding of the present invention, and the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. It is self-evident to those of ordinary knowledge in Esau. In describing the present invention, when it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

1 is a perspective view from the back of an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a circuit diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2, but the present invention is applied to the mechanical table clock, this is not limited to the mechanical clock, but also applies to the electronic clock.

On the back of the clock main body 100, alarm sound storage means, preferably sound source ICs 101, 102,... And a connecting means into which 10 n can be inserted, preferably an IC socket 1. As shown in the figure, the user selects one of various sound source ICs provided to listen to a desired sound source and inserts it into the IC socket 1. At this time, it is preferable that the IC socket 1 is formed on the back surface of the watch body 100 in order to look aesthetically or possibly to prevent damage. In addition, the control unit 20 is provided inside the watch body 100. Preferably, the control unit 20 is made of a microcomputer. In addition, an alarm time input knob 2 for setting the alarm time and a time adjustment knob 3 for adjusting the time are provided. The control unit 20 is connected to the sensor 20 detects whether the alarm time input knob 2 and the time input by the time adjustment knob 3 coincide with each other and transmits the same to the control unit 20. In addition, the control unit 20 is electrically connected to the sound source IC 101 inserted into the IC socket 1, and drives the sound source IC to sound source the data stored in the sound source IC 101 ( 22). When the signal of the detection sensor 21 in which the alarm time and the current time coincide with the control unit 20 is input, the control unit 20 transmits a control signal to the sound source IC 101 and the sound source IC driver 22 to generate a sound source IC driver ( 22) reproduces the digital data stored in the sound source IC 101 as an analog audio signal, and transmits the digital data to the speaker 4 connected to the sound source IC driver 22 to output sound.

3 is a circuit diagram for explaining another embodiment of the present invention.

3 is an example of applying the present invention to a digital electronic clock. The control unit 30 includes an input unit 31 for adjusting the current time, inputting an alarm time, and inputting an alarm repetition number, a sound source IC 101 storing an alarm sound desired by a user inserted into the IC socket, and a sound source. A sound source IC driver 32 for reading data stored in the IC 101 and reproducing it into a voice signal is connected. In addition, the clock module 33 may be manufactured as a pure program for time generation, or may be hardware consisting of electronic circuits, a program and hardware may be combined as necessary, and the display driver 34 may be connected to the LCD. The data can be displayed on the display means.

The controller 30 stores the alarm time and the alarm repetition number input from the input unit 31 in the storage area, and compares the current time and the alarm time generated by the clock module 33 to match the alarm time and the current time. When the control signal is transmitted to the sound source IC 101 and the sound source IC driver 32, the stored data of the sound source IC 101 is reproduced as a voice signal, output as sound from the speaker 4, and the alarm repeat count is designated. Repeat the specified number of times.

As described above, in the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the embodiments described, but should be defined by the utility model registration claims as described below and equivalents to the utility model registration claims.

According to the present invention having the above object and configuration, it is possible to customize the user's taste by listening to the sound by inserting the sound into the IC socket by the user who selects the sound instead of the clock manufacturer. By doing this, you can enjoy various sounds.
