JPH01226091A - Acoustic/image/character information processor - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To miniaturize the title acoustic/image/character information processor and to make it possible to personally carry the processor by forming a storage part of the processor as a card. CONSTITUTION:In an information processing part 1 including a 4-bit or 8-bit microprocessor unit, animation image information, the character information of words and acoustic information based upon electronic music are stored in a 4M-bit mask ROM chip e.g. The information is read out from a memory card part 2 obtained by incorporating the chip into the card and processed and the electronic music is displayed on an acoustic display part 4. On the other hand, image and character information is displayed on an image/character display part 3 relationally to the rhythm of the acoustic information.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to the structure of a storage section in an audio, image, and character information processing device.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a storage unit of an audio, image, or text information processing device, typified by a karaoke machine, typically uses a magnetic tape or a laser disk.

[Invention or problem to be solved]

However, according to the above-mentioned prior art, the storage capacity of audio, image, and text information is too large, and the storage section and its information processing section are large, making it inconvenient to carry.

The present invention eliminates the problems of the prior art.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a storage device for audio, image, and text information that is small and easy to carry, and an additional purpose is to reduce the size of the audio, image, and text information processing device.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention relates to an audio, image, and text information processing device, and includes means for reading information from a storage section, an information processing section that processes information read from the storage section, and a display unit that displays processed information in association with the acoustic rhythm;
In the image and character information processing apparatus, the above-mentioned means is adopted in which the storage unit is a cart incorporating a fixed storage device using an integrated circuit device.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained in detail in Examples below.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an audio one-image and character information processing apparatus showing an embodiment of the present invention. That is, 4 bits to 8
The information processing unit containing BIT's microprocessor unit contains, for example, a 4-mega-bit mask ROM (semiconductor fixed memory device) chip, anime image information, lyric text information, and electronic music sound. The processing unit inputs information and reads out information from the memory card unit 2 in which the chip is incorporated into the card, and displays electronic music on the audio display unit 4 (speaker or headphones); At the same time, the image and character information is displayed on the image and character display section 3 (on a cathode ray tube or CRT) in association with the rhythm of the sound and snow information. It is possible to insert a portion of the images into a moving image or the like, and display lyrics and music for about three minutes at a time, making it possible to fully function as a so-called karaoke. Furthermore, if the music display is replaced with an audio display, it can also be used as an educational device for English lessons and the like.

In addition, FIG. 2 shows an example of displaying images and characters according to the present invention, in which some moving images are included in an anime image, or several animation images are associated with sound rhythms and lyrics, such as in paper shibai. Indicates a state in which the lyrics can be displayed in text by replacing them, or in association with the acoustic rhythm, and the text can be sent by teloping, or by accident, by transferring the cursor, or by changing the color. ing.

Note that the memory cart does not necessarily have to be a 4 megabit chip, several chips may be assembled on the same card, and it does not necessarily have to be a mask ROM, but can be written electrically or Erase EP
It goes without saying that it may be a ROM or E'' PROM, or it may be a static RAM and a backup power battery assembled on the same cart.

Furthermore, this device may be configured integrally with a pocket LCD TV, etc., and may also be configured as an integrated device with an audio input device and an audio signal processing device, and can be used for transmission processing of audio signals, sounds, images, text information, etc. It is also possible to perform so-called remote processing using electromagnetic waves or light waves.

(Effects of the Invention) The present invention has the effect of providing a small and individually portable memory unit by converting the storage unit of a so-called audio, image, and text information device into a card.
It is also possible to downsize character information processing devices, etc., and it also has the effect of allowing individuals to carry them.
