摘要:
A timepiece has a time set mode and another time-related mode. It comprises a logic circuit for recognizing the time set mode and an electroacoustic transducer responsive to the logic circuit for providing a particular sound in succession when the timepiece is in the time set mode. The present timepiece makes it easy for the user, especially a blind or weak-eyed person, to recognize that the time set mode is in effect.
摘要:
A speech synthesizer timepiece which is capable of providing a plurality of different kinds of time-related information such as updated time, timer information (remaining time), alarm information and so forth using speech synthesizing technology with the aid of a single voice key. The timepiece has a voice instruction key for activating the speech synthesizer and a detection circuit for detecting if the key is actuated continuously. The speech generation is enabled to provide a first item of information (for example, timer information) when the key is actuated temporarily and providing another item of information (for example, updated time) when the instruction key is continuously actuated.

In a preferred aspect of the present invention, there is provided a speech synthesizer timepiece with an alarm function or a remaining interval counting function. The timepiece is adapted to set advance announcements at different intervals depending upon the length of a remaining time with respect to an intended time, the intervals being increasingly shorter as the intended time is approached. The remaining time is audibly announced each time the advance announcements are to be delivered.
摘要:
A voice output device for use in an electronic appliance, including a first member for detecting generation of data concerning starting or completion of operation of the electronic appliance, a memory for storing messages to be verbally transmitted to an operator of the appliance, a second member for selecting, in response to an output signal from the first member, one of the messages, and a third member for verbally transmitting the one of the messages to the operator.
摘要:
Disclosed is an electronic clinical thermometer comprising a temperature sensing unit, an arithmetic unit for calculating the body temperature from the signal from this temperature sensing unit, a display unit for displaying the body temperature converted in this arithmetic unit, a memory unit for sequentially updating and storing the measured body temperatures, and a means of calling the information in the memory unit and indicating in the display unit.
摘要:
A talking clock calculator incorporates a variety of time representing functions (or calender function), and is particularly characterized by means for representing the date information.This apparatus is capable of verbally outputting the month and date by operating the DATE key in the Normal mode, and also the year, month, and date, by operating the DATE key in the Set mode. The verbal output can be made as short as possible in the simplest sentence for easier recognition or the year information can also be verbally represented, whereby the apparatus can be conveniently used as a "fully automatic calender". Since voice data can be used by the clock and the calculator, there is no need for providing each with own voice data independently.
摘要:
An electronic clinical thermometer includes a temperature sensing unit, an arithmetic unit for calculating a body temperature from the signal from the temperature sensing unit, and a display unit for displaying the a temperature converted in the arithmetic unit, a memory unit for sequentially updating and storing the measured body temperatures, recalling the information in the memory unit being recalled and displayed in the display unit for a predetermined length of time after a power switch is thrown or when a power "ON" switch is released after the power switch is thrown.

A calorie calculator comprises a keyboard for manually controling the operation of the calorie calculator, a memory for storing a plurality of items of menu data and the corresponding calorie data, a retrieval circuit responsive to the operation of the keyboard for retrieving a particular item of menu data and the corresponding calorie data from the memory, and a display responsive to the retrieval circuit for displaying the particular item of the menu data and the corresponding calorie data.
摘要:
An electronic translator including character input keys for inputting a first language word, a translator for translating the inputted first language word into the second language word, a retranslator for retranslating the second language word back to the first language word, and a display unit for displaying the inputted word, translated word and retranslated word.
摘要:
A measuring instrument capable of providing its readouts of measurements of a physical quantity such as voltage, current or resistance includes voice synthesizer circuitry which may be realized by the use of a large scale integrated circuit (LSI) chip. A mode selector switch is provided for selection of an audible indication mode and a visual indication mode.
