JPH036698A - Cash register that tells received sum in voice - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the data volume by storing voice data of a numeral of specific and lower digits and that of higher digits in a voice data file and producing a voice twice to display the input amount of money with voice in the case of the input amount of money exceeding the specific digit. CONSTITUTION:All of voice data of three-digit numerals 1 to 999 are registered in a voice data file 1, and numerals larger than 1,000 are registered with a digit as the unit. If the registered amount of money is larger than 1,000 yen at the time of input of the registered amount of money from a register circuit 3, a voice message collating circuit 4 accesses the voice data file 1 with the numeral of 1,000 and larger than the numeral of lower three digits to read out corresponding voice data of these numerals. Voice data of thousands is first sent to a voice producing circuit 5 and is converted to a voice and the voice is produced. Thereafter, voice data of lower three digits is sent and is converted to a voice and the voice is produced. A voice is produced once for the numeral smaller than 1,000. Thus, the capacity of the voice data file 1 is reduced and a satisfactory voice output is obtained.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a cash register that notifies an input amount by voice.

(Conventional technology) In the conventional voice generation method using a cash register.

The following method was used to set data for number words.

FIG. 3 shows the structure of a conventional audio data file.

The first method, as shown in Figure 3 (a), is to register numbers one by one in the audio data file starting from 1 up to the maximum number to be used, and when generating audio, register the numbers as needed. Extract the data and send it to the audio generation circuit! Send me a message,
It is something that makes you vocalize.

The second method, as shown in FIG. 3(b), is to register each person individually and combine them when making a utterance.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The conventional method described above has the following drawbacks regarding the generation of voice by the cash register.

In the former method, all applicable number words must be registered in the audio data file.

The amount of data becomes enormous.

In the latter method, the amount of data to be registered in the audio data file is reduced, but since data is generated for each digit, there is a gap between each digit.

Another drawback was that the accents at the seams were strange.

The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the size of audio data files;
Another object of the present invention is to provide an input amount voice generation cash register which can obtain good voice output.

(Means for Solving the Problem) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, an input amount voice generation cash register according to the present invention includes an input device for inputting an amount, and a registration device for registering the amount input by the input device. circuit and
an audio data file for storing audio data of the amount; a voice message inquiry circuit that searches the audio data file for the amount registered in the registration circuit; a voice message inquiry circuit that searches and outputs the audio data of the next amount; and the voice message inquiry circuit. In a cash register having a voice generating circuit that converts voice data from 1 to 999 into voice and outputs the voice data, the voice data file includes voice data of 3-digit number words from 1 to 999 and number words for each digit of %1000 or more. The voice message inquiry circuit searches the voice data file by dividing the registered amount from the registration circuit into numeric words in the digits of 1000 or more and numeric words in the last three digits, and first searches the voice message in the digits of 1000 or more. data, then output the last 3 digits of audio data, 1
If the input amount is 000 or more, enter the digit 1000 or more.

The last three digits are uttered separately and are generated twice in total.

(Example) The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to one drawing.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a voice-generating cash register for input amounts according to the present invention.

Money is registered in a registration circuit 3 using an input device 2 such as a keyboard. The registered data (amount of money) is sent to the voice message inquiry circuit 4, converted to voice data, and then emitted as sound by the voice generation circuit 5.

The audio data is registered in the audio data file 1 and is searched based on data from the input device 2.

1 to 99, which are commonly used for audio data file 1.
All audio data for three-digit number words up to 9 are registered, and 1000 and above are also registered for each digit.

When the registered amount is input from the registration circuit 3, the voice message inquiry circuit 4 determines whether the data is 1000 or more or less than 1000. And if it is 1000 or more, 1000
The audio data file is accessed using each of the above digits and the last three digits of the number word, and the audio data of the matching number word is read out.

For example, if the amount is 2480, 2000 audio data and 480 audio data will be read out.

This audio data is first sent to the audio generation circuit 5 in the 1000's, where it is converted into audio and uttered.

After that, the last three digits of voice data are sent, converted to voice, and uttered.

In this way, if the amount is 1000 or more, it will be uttered twice.

If the number is less than 1000, say it once.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the gold and silver register according to the present invention includes the last three digits of numbers in the audio data file.

If the input amount is 1,000 or more, the digits of 1,000 or more and the last three digits are accessed and read out separately.
The system is structured so that the voice data of the digits above 000 and the voice data of the last three digits are sent to the voice generation circuit, and the input amount is displayed aloud by two voice generation. Compared to the case of registration, the amount of data in the audio data file is reduced, and the method of dividing into all parts is effective in that the speed of speech becomes faster.

Claims (1)

[Claims] an input device for inputting an amount, a registration circuit for registering the amount input by the input device, an audio data file for storing audio data of the amount, and an audio data file for storing the amount registered by the registration circuit. A cash register having a voice message inquiry circuit that searches for the searched amount and outputs voice data of the searched amount, and a voice generation circuit that converts the voice data from the voice message inquiry circuit into voice and outputs the voice data. The file stores voice data of 3-digit number words from 1 to 999 and number words for each digit of 1000 or more, and the voice message inquiry circuit inputs the registered amount from the registration circuit to the number words of 1000 or more and the lower 3 digits.
The voice data file is searched by dividing it into digit numbers and numbers, and outputs the voice data of 1000 or more digits first, then the voice data of the last 3 digits, and if the input amount is 1000 or more, 1000 is output. This cash register machine is characterized in that the above digits and the last 3 digits are uttered separately and are generated twice in total.
