Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a voice response application device that contributes to delays in business schedules.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Traditionally, each person has tried to record work schedules in notebooks or memo pads so that they do not forget, but humans are indispensable for forgetting things, and this tendency is especially noticeable when it comes to work. On the other hand, in recent years there has been active research into speech, such as the generation of artificial speech (kosaba) and the detection and recognition of words. Today, digital technology has been introduced to store and reproduce sounds, and it has become possible to condense the information into a few tens of minutes and memorize it and reproduce it as normal sound. The development of system products that add voice response functions to systems or various control systems to improve operational efficiency, improve service, and even improve reliability is becoming more and more popular.[Purpose of the Invention] The present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned background g2, and includes a computer≦2 built-in audio output functions.

Or use this head output function and timing device.

Even when performing tasks such as issuing slips, operators and others can be notified by outputting their answers aloud according to a pre-registered work schedule.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a voice response device that contributes to business execution without delay (2). Create a table 2 based on the person's name, date and time, and schedule in memory, search for a schedule using the program ≦ 2 names stored in the main memory as a key, and reproduce the query for the schedule of arbitrary C2 itself. Also, the current time and the elapsed time set in advance, Cl
' To have a timing device that informs U
The schedule is dynamically notified by voice at an appropriate time.

This allows operators and other users to carry out tasks such as issuing slips without worrying about schedules.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, the present invention≦2 will be explained in detail using 1, 1, and 4.

It consists of multiple lines for control, and is connected to the system bus 2, which is a data transfer path between the above devices (
Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a table created in the main memory 2. In the embodiment of the present invention, each entry in this table is configured as 21 sets of person's name, 'date and time, and schedule'. be done.

The operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be explained below using the flowchart shown in FIG.

Sho,! The table shown in J2131 is based on the data C2 input in advance to the input/output device 4, and is stored in the main memory 2 via the input/output control device 3. ? Input the name of the person you want to know from the input/output device 4 (keyboard). (Step 501) Then, read the name of the person from the table already stored in the main memory 2 and compare the names 3
(Step 5o2.503) If it is confirmed that they are not the same person's name, proceed to step 508. If it is confirmed that they are the same person's name, proceed to the next step 505 (Step 504) In step 505, the main memory 2 is The date and time and schedule are successively outputted from the table T, and two commands are issued to the audio output control device 6 (2) to output the "date and time" in voice.The voice output control device 6, which received this command, synthesizes the "date and time" into speech. Then, output 0 (step 506).Then, the CPU 1 issues a command to the audio output control device 6 to output the "schedule" audibly. Upon receiving this command, the audio output control device 6 outputs the "schedule". Synthesize the voice and output it as the desired voice.After this.

Proceed to step 509. (Step 502) In addition, in step 508, it is checked whether or not there is a middle trouble 1 command from the input/output device 4. If there is, the process goes to step StO, otherwise the process goes to step 509.◎In step 509, the main memory 2 The pointer of the table existing in is updated and the next person's name is read. After this, the process advances to step 503 and the same operation as above is repeated. Finally, the voice output control device is performed in step 51O (2).

In addition, by using time for each person's name, it becomes difficult to create a schedule in units of hours. For example, "Mr. A and Mr. B have a meeting in the fourth conference room at 10 o'clock."

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing another embodiment of the present invention.
The difference from the embodiment shown in the first cause is that the clock device sw is newly connected to the system bus 7.Others are the same.The clock device 5 is started from C: PUll 2, and the current time is ? Notification or elapse of preset time 1c
Function to notify PLIl? have This device 5 is commercially available as L81 and is well known, so it will not be described here. The fourth factor is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a table used in the third embodiment (2).

In this example, two types of tables are created.

One is 1 time, 1 number of registered people, 1 name C2, and 1 entry is Sa. ◎ The other one is 1 entry is made up of name and schedule. This makes it possible to register the schedules of several people on one machine.

Is the flowchart shown in Figure 6 below? The operation of the embodiment shown in the third factor will now be explained.

It is assumed that the table 1.2 shown in FIG. 4 is input with data from the input/output device 4 in advance and stored in the main memory 2 via the input/output control device 3.

First, CP (Jt) is stored in the main memory 2, and the earliest time I (Tl) and the registrant HIY are read from the table l (step 601), and the current time T1 is read from the dt time device 5, and .

Find the difference T4 between and IP. (Step eo2~603)
(2) Set the T determined here in the clock device 5, operate the timer function, and wait until one hour has passed (Step 6)
o4. tx05) In the next step 606, a command is issued to the audio output control device 61 to output the time J as audio. This directive? The audio output control device 6 that receives the audio synthesizes the "time" into audio and outputs it.

Next step 6 (If the registered personnel read in II is “Om”)
If so, the process goes to step 611, which will be described later.

If not, proceed to the next step 60B. In step 60B, the name is read from table l in main memory 2. Based on the name Mi11 read here, is the name from table 2? Cheate, further read the schedule of the matching part, and move on to the process of step 609. In step 609, two commands are issued to the audio output control device 61 to output the "name" aloud. The voice output control device 6 that received this synthesizes the voice and outputs it.
Subsequently, C)'[11 issues a command to the audio output control device 6 to re-output schedule J as sound. this?
The received audio output control ft1l device 6 synthesizes the "schedule" into audio and outputs it. (Step 610) After this, the process moves to step 602.

In step 611, audio output termination processing is executed. Then, in step 612C2, a check is made to see if all the registered entries have been cleared, and here the end is confirmed and the process ends.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the above-described 411<According to the present invention, in addition to being able to inquire about schedules for any two groups, even if a schedule is input at random, the table is automatically searched, so all schedules can be confirmed. By using the 81 o'clock equipment, I can carry out work such as issuing slips without worrying about my schedule, and make sure that my husband, east-looking gold wire, going out, etc. are opened at an appropriate time (2181). I'll never forget you.

History (2) It is possible to register the schedule of Oriiri with one machine.
