Publication number: 20240305728Abstract: An operation sound output portion outputs a sound corresponding to an operation when a ringing signal is input. A control portion is capable of outputting a ringing command signal in a normal state. The control portion transitions to a paused state with lower power consumption than the normal state when a pause condition is satisfied in the normal state. An OR circuit outputs a logical OR signal of an operation detection signal of an operation detecting portion and a ringing command signal to the operation sound output portion as the ringing signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2024Publication date: September 12, 2024Inventor: Hitoshi Matsumoto
