Also, since there is no need to install a large-capacity power supply 10p in the power supply or round 2 in order to output a loud sound, it is possible to further reduce the weight and to reduce the playback sound quality. .
  • the stuffed toy 2 is made of a soft material, when trying to output sound with the speaker built in the stuffed toy 2, the frequency characteristics of the sound output are narrow, and clear sound output is difficult.
  • the stuffed toy utterance operation can be realized with clear voice by using the external audio device 20 of the stuffed toy 2 to output the utterance information.
  • the utterance information generating device 10 detects that a predetermined time that has been determined in advance by the owner, user, etc. of the stuffed toy 2 has passed, the utterance information generating device 10 generates a warning for a predetermined time corresponding to the timing.
  • the utterance information is transmitted to the audio device 20 by the communication unit 13. Then, the audio device 20 reproduces the received warning utterance information and outputs an audio signal generated from the force 23b.
  • the utterance information for warning can be output from the utterance information output device 20 at an appropriate timing by carrying the stuffed toy 2 on the vehicle. Can warn you that you have been driving for a long time, and can encourage you to take breaks at regular intervals such as 2 hours.
  • the utterance information generating device 10 detects that the remaining amount of the power supply 10p has dropped below a predetermined threshold, the utterance information generating device 10 transmits utterance information for remaining amount warning to the audio device 20 by the communication unit 13. To do. Then, the audio device 20 outputs an audio signal generated by reproducing the received utterance information for remaining amount warning from the speaker 23b.
  • the power supply 10p of the utterance information generating device 10 is a battery or a battery, it is possible to prompt the user to replace the battery, charge the battery, or the like. Further, since the utterance information for the remaining amount warning is output by the audio device 20 operating with power other than the power source 10p, the remaining amount of the power source 10p is not further reduced by the warning.
  • the utterance information generating device 10 detects a request for various operations in the audio device 20 in response to the user's operation such as pushing the nose against the stuffed toy 2 or tilting the ear,
  • the operation request information corresponding to the detected request is transmitted to the audio device 20 by the communication unit 13.
  • the audio device 20 performs control corresponding to the operation request indicated by the received operation request information. Therefore, the utterance information generating device 10 can be used as a remote control for operating the utterance information output device 20, and a light weight such as a toy having an utterance function can be achieved.
  • the utterance information output system 1 described above if the utterance information output device is realized by a television game machine, it is possible to utter an utterance that causes eyes to rest at an appropriate timing such as 2 hours.

Abstract

L’invention concerne un dispositif de création d’informations de parole pouvant diminuer le poids d’un jouet ou semblable. Lorsque ledit dispositif de création d’informations de parole (10) crée des informations de parole en réaction à la parole d’un jouet telle une poupée ou un robot, un moyen d’instruction d’envoi (11a1) demande à un moyen d’envoi (13) d’envoyer les informations de parole au dispositif de sortie d’informations de parole (20). En réaction à cette instruction, le moyen d’envoi (13) envoie les informations de parole créées au dispositif de sortie d’informations de parole (20) disposé à l’extérieur du jouet ou semblable. Les informations de parole envoyées sont sorties par le dispositif de sortie d’informations de parole (20).
