  • Publication number: 20010024490
    Abstract: The pitch name of one musical note in a desired incoming call reporting melody is input through a voice (step S2). The input voiced pitch name information is subjected to speech recognition, and pitch name data, which matches data representing the input pitch name, is selected from a plurality of previously cataloged pitch name data (step S3) Next, the pitch name based on the selected one pitch name data is displayed as a character on a display screen, and the note duration of the pitch name is keyed (steps S4 and S5). A musical note corresponding to the musical note data thus obtained is displayed on a musical staff on the screen (step S6). One score data comprising a plurality of musical note data prepared in the same manner as described above is stored in a storage unit (step S8). At the time of inputting a chord, in the step S2, the pitch names of a plurality of respective musical notes constituting one chord are successively input through a voice.

  • Patent number: 6011429
    Abstract: In a reference voltage generating device, it causes rising of output of reference voltage to speed while preventing wraparound of power source noise after rising of reference voltage. It causes an electric supply circuit to connect to a reference voltage output terminal of a reference voltage generating source, while switching ON switches only prescribed period from just after power-ON-timing by power control signal until the time when timer circuit operates. And then after lapse of prescribed time, when the timer circuit terminates its operation, the electric charge circuit is disconnected from the reference voltage output terminal due to OFF of the switches. Consequently, during prescribed time from power ON, charging current toward load capacitance attached to the reference voltage output terminal increases, thus reference voltage rises rapidly.

  • Patent number: 4809315
    Abstract: A cordless telephone system constituted by a base communication unit which is connected to telephone line connections, and portable communication units which are individually connected to the base unit by cordless communication links, the telephone system effectively enhancing power saving efficiency. The battery saving period of idle portable units are changed at adequate timings based on the number of telephone lines used, so that the portable units sequentially perform intermittent receipt at equal intervals of T. While effecting substantially the same connecting operations as those of a prior art cordless telephone system which effects a BS operation at a period of T, the system of the present invention reduces the BS period required to a product of the period T and the number of telephone lines used, thereby reducing power which is consumed by each portable unit.

  • Patent number: 4805203
    Abstract: A cordless telephone system is provided including a base communication unit and portable communication units. The base communication unit is connected to a number of telephone lines, and has the same number of radio transceivers as the telephone lines. Each of the portable communication units is connected to a respective one of the transceivers of the base communication unit by a cordless communication link. In operation, each of the portable communication units is intermittently rendered operative at a particular timing and a predetermined period which are designated by a first signal. The first signal is produced in the base communication unit, and is based on the number of portable communication units turned ON. The particular timing and predetermined period are changed in response to a second signal which is produced in the base communication unit, and which is based on the number of portable communication units turned ON, and on the number of wireless communication units being used.
