Description

Soundcard attached at handset, telephone withe Soundcard, vending machine of Soundcard and method of selling Soundcard at vending machine}

The present invention provides a sound card attached to the handset of the telephone and outputs the stored sound information as an audible sound, a telephone with the sound card, a sound card vending machine and a vending machine for storing sound information on the sound card and selling the sound card. The present invention relates to a method of automatically selling sound cards, and more particularly, to record sound information desired by a user on a sound card and attach the sound card to a handset of a telephone. The present invention relates to a sound card, a telephone with a sound card attached thereto, a sound card vending machine for selling sound cards in which sound information is stored in the sound card, and a sound card automatic selling method using the vending machine.

When users want to listen to the voices of their favorite colleagues and their beliefs when they need them, or when the voice information is stored and distributed by religious organizations, corporations, and public institutions for the public, voice information is usually recorded on cassette tapes. Saved. Such a conventional recording device has an advantage that can store a large amount of sound information, it is possible to repeat recording. However, the price was expensive, and there was a problem that the player must hear the stored sound information.

In a device for storing voice information, there was a sound card which is small in volume and capable of storing voice information at a low price. Sound cards are embedded in Christmas cards, ornaments, or dolls, and are often used as devices to output melody or human voice.

The voice output means 124 outputs the voice information stored in the voice information storage means 122 as an audible sound. The background sound storing means 114 stores a background sound to be mixed with the voice information. The background sound uses a melody, a song by a famous singer, a sound of nature, and the like.

Internet access means 112 downloads the background sound from a server connected to the Internet, and stores the downloaded background sound in the background sound storage means. The mixing means 126 mixes the background sound and the voice information input by the user to produce sound information. The sound information is temporarily stored in the sound information storage means 122. The sound information recording means 128 records the sound information in the sound information storage unit 23 of the sound card sold in the vending machine. The sound card emitting means 130 discharges the sound card in which the sound information is recorded from the vending machine.

Figure 6 is a flow chart of a sound card vending method using a vending machine according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, when a user uses the vending machine for a fee or free, the user selects voice input or background sound selection. When the user selects the voice input, the user inputs the voice information using the voice input means 120 (S120).

The voice information is temporarily stored in the voice storage means 122 (S130), the voice information is stored in the voice storage means 122, and then the voice information is output as an audible sound from the voice output means 124 (S140). ). The user hears the voice information output as the audible sound from the voice output means 124 and re-inputs the voice information as required by the user. After the voice input, the background sound is selected.

Selection of the background sound is a step of selecting a background sound desired by the user from the background sound stored in the background sound storage means 114. The user selects one of the background sounds stored in the background sound storing means 114 (S100). When the user selects the background sound, the background sound is output as an audible sound from the voice output means 124 (S110).

If the background sound is selected, sound information is produced by mixing the background sound and the voice information (S150). The sound information is output as the audible sound from the voice output means 124, and the user hears the sound information and reselects the voice input or the background sound as necessary.

After the production of the sound information, the sound information is produced by recording the sound information in the sound information storage unit 23 of the sound card to be sold in the vending machine (S160). When the sound card is produced, the vending machine releases the sound card (S170).

The vending machine has an internet connection means and is connected to a server on which the background sound is stored over the Internet. The server updates the background sound in the background sound storage means 114 according to the needs of the administrator who manages the server or the vending machine.

The present invention can record the voice information desired by the user to listen to the stored voice information at any time when desired, and can provide the appropriate voice information during the free time during the call connection or call waiting.

Still another object of the present invention is to store sound information desired by a user in a sound card so that the sound card can be provided simply.
