The present invention relates to an infant picture book having a voice output function, and in detail, each page is unfolded or the next or previous page by contact with the front or rear of the sensor while forming a protrusion at a different position for each page of the infant picture book. Relates to an infant picture book that has a voice output function that allows the child to listen to the stored voice while the child opens the picture book by recording and storing the voice of the dad or mom explaining the picture on the page while the user is unfolding. .

In general, it is well known that various kinds of picture books are provided for children's intelligence development. to be.

Among these picture books, there are sound picture books to help children learn language and induce interest in books (Utility Model Registration No. 19910005960, Patent Application No. 20010020301, etc.). There are picture books (registered utility model No. 20-0202215) equipped with indicator lights.

The sound picture book of Utility Model Registration No. 19910005960 has a surface sensing switch unit installed inside the bottom of the inlay of a known picture book, whereby the sensing switch is operated to make a sound when the surface is crossed.

In addition, the voice reproduction e-book of patent application No. 200100020301 inserts a pre-recorded melody chip in accordance with the contents of the book into the voice player and combines the book with the voice player, so that the user can press the content selection button while watching the contents of the book. The correct voice that matches the contents of the book is played.

However, the conventional picture books as described above have a problem in that the parents do not obtain the effect of reading the book to the child by playing the stored voice.

Therefore, Utility Model Registration Application No. 20-2001-0038645 dated December 14, 2001 (voice reproduction and emission picture chart was proposed,

This includes a plurality of body temperature sensing switches at positions corresponding to a plurality of pictures on the first and first surfaces, each of which includes a front cover on which a plurality of pictures are printed and a rear surface where fluorescent material is attached to a portion corresponding to the front picture.

Attached to the rear of the graphic layer was composed of films for protecting and supporting the voice output circuit unit and the light emitting circuit unit.

However, according to the above-described voice reproducing and light emitting picture chart and body light emitting and voice output drawing by the body temperature sensing, the light emitting body of the picture is turned on by pressing a part of the picture book, so that it is outputted as voice. Busy mom or dad can not read the picture book to the child had the disadvantage that the effect is not great.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in order to solve the conventional problems as described above, each page is unfolded by the state in contact with the front or rear of the sensor while forming a protrusion in a different position for each page of the picture book for children, or A picture book with a voice output function that allows the child to listen to the stored voice while the picture book is opened by recording and storing the voice of the dad or mom explaining the picture on the page while recognizing the unfolding state of the previous page. Its purpose is to provide.

In addition, the present invention is to insert the back cover of the general infant picture book on the extension plate of the page recognition unit is connected to each of the sensors installed therein and a plurality of elastic pieces formed to protrude at different heights contact the page or front cover of the picture book The other purpose is to recognize the current unfolded page while recognizing the status of the screen.

Infant picture book with a voice output function of the present invention for achieving the above object,

While the control circuit is embedded inside the page recognition unit, only the switch is exposed on the outer surface of the hard cover,

A page selector for recognizing which pages are spread while forming protrusions at different positions of each page of the infant picture book,

Recognizing a state of contacting the front cover or the rear of the sensor of the page selection unit in contact with the front cover in a state supported by the rear of the picture book or a state for initial operation by the state of contacting a plurality of sensors A page recognition unit,
