The present invention relates to a children's telephone apparatus, and in particular, to a children's telephone apparatus and control thereof that can be used as an educational or toy for children in a configuration similar to the actual telephone apparatus in addition to the existing telephone apparatus or by a separate apparatus. It is about a method.

The telephone apparatuses generally used are roughly classified into wired telephones and wireless telephones, and the wireless telephones are composed of a portable apparatus 2 capable of communicating with the fixing apparatus 1 as shown in FIG. These types of telephones and their functions are gradually diversified, and in recent years, some telephones have a function of recording a missed caller's voice or delivering a recorded message to the caller.

The portable device of a commercially available wireless telephone has a basic configuration as shown in FIG. 2, which includes a transmitter 21 for transmitting a control signal and a voice signal to the fixing device 1 of FIG. A receiving unit 22 for receiving a voice signal and a function control signal of a telephone, an antenna 20 connected to an antenna common unit 23 for transmitting a transmission signal and receiving a radio signal from a fixed device, and an empty channel In addition to designating a communication channel and a control channel to the transmitting unit 21 and the receiving unit 22 to detect a signal, the control unit performs a control operation of closing or connecting a communication channel in accordance with a control signal from the main controller 25. Connected to the channel control unit 24 and the key matrix 27, it detects which key is pressed, recognizes the input information from the key matrix 27, and operates each part in the portable device 2. As a whole A main control unit 25, a light emitting diode, and the like, which receive an incoming call from the control signal transmission / reception unit 26 and flash when the incoming call display unit 28 and the identification code of the telephone apparatus are registered. This is composed of an ID ROM 29 to prevent crosstalk with other radiotelephones.

These phones, which are currently in use, are expensive and do not add the various functions that mobiles can use, such as educational or mock phone functions.

For this reason, a toy phone with a simple sound function is on sale, but it is easily distinguished from the existing phone, and children are easily fed up with it, and it is not very helpful for education.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a simulated telephone apparatus that enables reading of numbers, reading of various guide numbers, and recording functions in order to solve the combination of simple functions of the conventional telephone apparatus as described above. To achieve their educational function.

3 is a block diagram of a simulated telephone apparatus of the present invention for achieving the above object, and discriminates a key matrix 30 composed of a number button and a function selection button, and a key pressed on the key matrix 30. A main control section 31 for controlling the overall operation of the voice information processing system, a voice data ROM 33 for storing the voice data in accordance with an address, and a voice address input from the main control section 31; A voice synthesizer 32 for reading and synthesizing the stored voice data of the addressed voice data ROM 33 and converting the voice data into an analog signal and outputting the original voice signal from the voice synthesizer 32. It consists of a voice output part 35 which converts into a voice.

As shown in FIG. 4, the key matrix 30 includes a power key 30A, a numeric designation key 30B, a guide key 30C, and ten numeric keys 0-9.

On the other hand, Figure 5 is a control flowchart of the children's telephone according to the present invention, when the power is turned on when the numeric key (0-9) is pressed step of outputting a simple message corresponding to the numeric key (S5), and guide When the key (30C) is pressed, a three-digit numeric key is input and a guide message corresponding to the number is output (S8), and when the numeric designation key (30B) is pressed, the number of the key is input every time the numeric key is pressed. It consists of the step (S8) which outputs with a voice.

The operation and effect of the simulation telephone apparatus of the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail based on the control flowchart of FIG.

When the key from the key matrix 30 of the telephone apparatus is pressed, the main controller 31 determines whether the pressed key is a numeric key or a function control key as in steps S1-S2.

Here, the function control key constituting the key matrix 30 of FIG. 3 includes a power key 30A for on / off control of power, a numeric designation key 30B for outputting the corresponding number by voice, and a 3-digit number. It is a key excluding the number keys 0-9 as the guide key 30C for entering the guide information and the voice mode.

When the power key 30A is pressed, the power on / off is controlled, and any number key from 0 to 9 is turned on when the power is on and the number designation key 30B is not pressed. When it is pressed, as shown in step S5, a voice signal for up to 10 short words or short sentences corresponding to each key is output. For example, when the numeric key 0 is pressed, a voice signal called Hello is collected. In this case, when the main controller 31 outputs the corresponding address of the voice data ROM 33, the voice synthesizer 32 synthesizes the voice data of the corresponding length read from the voice data ROM 33 by the designated address. And converts it into an analog signal and outputs it. The output signal is converted to the original voice through the voice output unit 34. It is able to hear the voice of the keys.

On the other hand, if the power button is turned on and the numeric key 30B is pressed, the control is switched to the number notification function by performing step S6. In this mode, the voice of the corresponding key is output whenever the 0-9 key is pressed. . For example, when the numeric key 0 is pressed, a voice signal of zero is output.

When the guide key 30C is pressed while the power is on, the mode is switched to the guide voice notification mode, and in this mode, as shown in step S8, when a three-digit number is input to determine whether the number N of keys to be pressed is three times. In addition, the notification voice corresponding to the number is notified. For example, if the numeric key 114 is input, the user will be notified of the voice prompting that this is a crime report place.

Here, the voice data corresponding to the word or sentence can be outputted by specifying the address in the voice data ROM 33 in advance and recording the same. Output is enabled.

The present invention may add the configuration of the present invention to a conventional telephone apparatus together with a separate switch configuration, or may be used by charging the telephone apparatus of the present invention in an existing wireless telephone.

As described above, the present invention can listen to the voice similar to the existing telephone by the mock telephone apparatus, and can educate the children about the number education and the use of the telephone report or the guidance service, and each voice key of the telephone apparatus has different voice response. This can be performed to perform a function as a toy.

As described above, the present invention has an effect of providing a high-function children's telephone by adding a voice output function to each key of the children's telephone apparatus.
