Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a voice toy that uses synthesized voice, and in particular, to a toy that generates synthesized voice that corresponds to the code by giving preprogrammed code contents through a switching means using a card. It provides a structure that is

The present invention will be explained with reference to an embodiment shown in the figure below.
1) is a read-only memory circuit, and the memory circuit (1) stores speech synthesis information for performing speech synthesis in advance.In this case, one reference is the speech synthesis information for uttering simple words. is memorized. (2) is the control circuit, (
3) is a speech synthesis circuit, and these memory circuit (1), control circuit (2), and speech synthesis circuit (3) are each connected by an electric circuit, and the control circuit (2) is connected to the speech synthesis circuit (1). It is configured to selectively read out required speech synthesis information and provide it to the speech synthesis circuit (3). (Sl) is a changeover switch for specifying a preset speech synthesis mode for the control circuit (2);
) is assumed to provide a switching signal to the control circuit (2) as 4-bit information coded in advance using four on/off switches. (S2) is a start switch, (8,
3) is a repeat switch. (S4) A switch connected to the beam selector (4) and the mechanical switch 2- is disposed corresponding to the car switch 5) having a mechanically deformable portion of selection information encoded in advance.

The switch (S4) is made up of, for example, nine on/off switches, and is supplied to the control circuit (2) as 9-bit information, and extracts voice information of a plurality of required words from the memory circuit (1). It is configured to be applied to the synthesis circuit (3). (6) is the impedance conversion circuit of the speaker (9), which is connected to the same voice synthesis circuit (3).
In the circuit described above, which uses the card as a power source, the card (5) has a mechanically deformed portion on one side edge thereof, as shown in FIG. 3, for example, to obtain a 9-bit signal. In other words, in the case shown in the figure, if it is the surface of the card, a diagonal notch (51) is formed at the left end,
This corresponds to the first switch Oη from the left of the above switches (S4), and the following switches 62163 are arranged on the right side.
Recesses are formed at necessary locations corresponding to the positions of 1. Figure 4 shows the above card (5)
31 embodiment of the receptor (4) is shown, and the switch (S4) is mounted on the board (40).
is arranged, and an elastic tongue piece shaft is protruded above the holding frame (52) which holds the card (5) in a vertically slidable manner.
), and by pressing down and holding the card (5), the tongue shaft is pressed by the edge of the card in the part without the recess, and the switch θη (6) immediately below it is pressed.
・・・・・・・・・・・・θ9) is selectively closed. For example, the role of the above switch [S4] is 1.
The 2nd switch θη and the 9th switch θ9) are assigned to the bits that obtain the signal for detecting the front and back sides of the card (5), and the second switch (the 4th switch is used to determine whether the card (5) is set securely. Detect the 6-bit code signal by assigning it to the bit to obtain the signal to detect the 6-bit code signal. Similarly, the switch (Sl) is configured by, for example, four switches (11) (121 (13) (14)) as shown in FIG.
Another card (10) corresponding to this is prepared, and switches (1]) (t2 (t3) (14) are selected 4- by correspondence with the mechanically deformed part of the edge of the card 00) similar to the above. If configured to operate automatically, the desired voice synthesis mode can be selected using a 4-bit code.

In the above configuration, the memory circuit (1), the speech synthesis circuit (3), and the control circuit (2) surrounded by the frame (A) are composed of high-density integrated circuits, and are one-chip devices for the purpose of speech synthesis. Integrated circuits are used, especially control circuits (2)
is constituted by an arithmetic processing circuit element having the functions of a well-known microcomputer, and also includes a writable memory circuit (not shown) 1□8□Wow. Engineering, Ka2. □. □ It is mainly controlled by programs, that is, software, and its contents can be explained based on concrete operations.

To explain the operation of the above embodiment, first, turn on the power switch (S5), selectively turn on and off the changeover switch (Sl) depending on the card a [phase],
A signal specifying the mode of speech synthesis by the control circuit (2) is given to the control circuit (2). For example, the following three modes can be set for this voice synthesis mode: 5- The mode reads out the content of the picture on the front side printed on the card (5), and the second mode reads the content of the picture programmed in advance randomly. There is a mode in which the word is read aloud, the word is judged as correct or false in correspondence with the card (5), and the result is uttered.Furthermore, the word programmed for each card is read out using the back side of the card (5). It consists of a mode in which the word contents of the card (5) are memorized and edited, and the desired words are uttered. However, if the first mode is selected, the storage circuit (1) is operated based on the operation of the control circuit (2).
A voice such as "Choose any card" is uttered from the speaker (9) via the voice synthesis circuit (3). Next, when an arbitrary card (5) is taken out from a large number of cards (5) prepared in advance and set in the setter (4), the mechanical deformation part formed on the edge of the card causes the switch to be activated. (S4) responds and is given to the control circuit (2) as the above-mentioned 9-bit information, the content of the code set in this is determined, and based on the operation of the control circuit (2), the memory circuit (1) The speech synthesis information -6= of the required word is read out from the speech synthesis circuit (3) and edited to create one word from the series of words, that is, the card (
5) The content of the picture printed on the surface is uttered as words from the speaker (9). In this case, if the card (5) is accidentally set face down, the switch θη and (L4
[Phase] is detected, and if necessary, a voice such as "The card is turned over" can be made to utter. As mentioned above, in this mode, many cards (5) are sequentially transferred to the receptor (4).
), the contents of the picture printed on the front of the card (5) can be uttered in sequence as words.

Next, when the second mode is selected, one piece of audio editing information is read out at random from among the many pieces of audio editing information that vocalize the contents of all the cards programmed in advance, and the speaker A series of words are uttered from (9), and for example, as the content of the picture on the card, a voice such as ``Take the card that says so-and-so is doing what'' is uttered. Based on this utterance, select a picture that seems to correspond to the above word from among many cards (5) and set it on the seventh card (4). The said switch (S4) responds by the mechanical deformation part formed in the edge, and the said 9
The content of the code set there is determined and compared with the content of the randomly read audio editing information, and the resulting code is sent to the control circuit (2) as pit information. A voice saying whether the card (5) selected by the output is "correct" or "wrong" is emitted from the speaker (9). As described above, in this mode, it is possible to play a game equivalent to the so-called karuta game in which a card (5) is selected from among many cards (5) by randomly uttering words.

Next, when the third mode is selected, the above card (
When the card (5) is turned over, the mechanical deformation part is used to easily read out and pronounce the "word" that has been controlled by each card. It can be equipped with a function to memorize and edit "words" and have them uttered, and it is possible to play so-called word games while selecting the card (5).
