Abstract

PURPOSE:To attach a voice message in accordance with status by providing a mechanism to discriminate the status of a time, etc., a mechanism to select a required message from a discriminated result, and a voice synthesis mechanism to convert the message to a voice in addition to an ordinary time recorder mechanism. CONSTITUTION:When the message desired to inform to a specific individual exists, the indentification information of an individual and a message content desired to inform from a host computer 29 are stored in a data memory 26 classified by every individual. When an entering/leaving person makes a card reader 22 read an identification card, a status discrimination control mechanism 23 transmits an individual identification result and the time to the host computer 29 via a communication mechanism 24, and also, the content of the data memory 26 classified by every individual stored in advance is compared with a card identification result, and when both identification information of the individual coincide, a corresponding message content is taken out, and is sent to the voice synthesis mechanism 27. Thereby, it is possible to transmit a designated message to a person designated by the host computer in advance in voice.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a time recorder, and in particular to a time recorder that can notify a person entering or leaving the venue of a necessary message by voice depending on the situation when the person is stamping a time. Regarding.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of time recorder has been used to record entrances and exits, and the information given to people entering and leaving the venue has been limited to displaying the current time.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The above-mentioned conventional time recorders are limited to the function of recording entrances and exits, so the time recorder is not taking advantage of the opportunity to ensure that the time recorder is at the side of the time recorder and can send messages when entering and leaving the venue. There is a drawback.

[Means to solve the problem]

In addition to the normal time recorder mechanism, the time recorder of the present invention has a mechanism for determining the status such as time and the determination result.
It has a mechanism to select the necessary message and a speech synthesis function to convert the message into speech.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

The time recorder body 1 includes a stamping mechanism 2 and a situation determination circuit 3.
．． Control mechanism 4. Speech synthesis mechanism 5. Consists of 6 speakers,
There is a rain sensor 7 outside, and a time signal 8. Stamp signal 9.
Rainfall signal IO2 situation judgment result signal 11. Message signal 12. Each mechanism is connected by an audio signal 13.

When the time card is stamped, the stamping mechanism 2 provides a stamping signal 9 along with the time signal 8 to the situation determining circuit 3.

On the other hand, the rain sensor 7 is installed outdoors and supplies the situation determination circuit 3 with the presence or absence of rain as a rain signal 10. When there is a stamp signal, the situation determination circuit determines whether the time signal indicates the exit time or not, and if it is determined that the clock is for exiting, and the rain signal 10 indicates a rain condition, it notifies you of rain. A signal to that effect is given to the control mechanism 4 as a situation judgment result signal 11. The control mechanism 4 converts it into a message signal 12 to notify of rain, and the speech synthesis function 5 converts it into an audio signal 13, which is output as sound from the speaker 6.

[Example 2] FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a second embodiment of the present invention.

The time recorder body 21 includes a card reader 22, a situation judgment control mechanism 232, a communication mechanism 241, a clock 25°, and an individual data memory 26. Speech synthesis mechanism 27. It consists of a speaker 28 and is connected to an external host computer 29 via a communication path 36. In addition, each function inside the time recorder main body 21 includes a card identification signal 302, a popular signal 311, a time signal 3,
2. Data memory bus 33. Message signal 34. It is connected by an audio signal 35.

When there is a message to be sent to a specific individual, it is sent from the host computer 29 to the situation determination control mechanism as a communication signal 31 via the communication path 36 and the communication mechanism 24, so that the identification information of the individual to be conveyed and the contents of the message are sent. are stored in the individual data memory 26 via the data memory bus 33.

After that, those entering and exiting the venue submit their personal identification cards to the card reader 2.
2, the card identification information 30 is given, and the situation determination control mechanism 23 sends the personal identification result by card identification to the communication mechanism 24 as a communication signal 31 together with the time signal 32 given from the clock 25 at that time. In addition to transmitting the time to the host computer 29, the card identification result is compared with the contents of the individual data memory 26 stored in advance, and if the personal identification information matches,
Extract the corresponding message content and send message signal 3
4 and sends it to the speech synthesis mechanism 27. Speech synthesis mechanism 2
7 converts the message content into an audio signal 35 and causes the speaker 28 to sound.

As a result of the above operations, when a personal identification card is inserted into the time recorder 21 according to the present invention, a message specified by the host computer is transmitted to the person specified in advance by voice.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides the following advantages:
It is possible to give a voice message to the stamper according to the situation.

For example, in Example 1, if it is raining when you leave work,
Since the stamper is warned to that effect by voice, it is effective to know whether or not it is necessary to prepare rain gear even when the outside weather is unknown, such as in a building. In addition, in Example 2, when entering and exiting,
It has the effect of conveying a message to a specific person.
