  • Patent number: 5479490
    Abstract: There is disclosed a system which can be subjected to remote control by an input voice command, which comprises: a voice detection circuit for detecting inputting of a voice signal; a voice command introduction circuit for introducing an inputted voice command after the detection by the voice detection circuit; a speech recognition circuit for making a comparison between the voice command introduced by the voice command introduction circuit and a voice command registered in advance to thereby recognize the introduced voice command; and a control circuit for executing, in dependency upon a recognition result from the speech recognition circuit, a command determined in advance in correspondence with the registered voice command, wherein after input of the voice signal is detected, introduction of the inputted voice command is initiated, whereby execution of the command determined in advance is carried out in dependency upon the recognition result of the introduced voice command.

  • Patent number: 5027328
    Abstract: In a memory drive device comprising a semiconductor memory, a memory control circuit for controlling the operation of the memory, the control circuit including a reset terminal and operative to initialize the internal status when a reset signal of a predetermined level is applied to the reset terminal, and a main power supply for delivering a power to the memory and to the memory control circuit, the memory drive device comprises a comparator circuit for comparing a power feed voltage from the main power supply with a predetermined threshold voltage and for detecting that the power feed reaches predetermined voltage to output a detection signal, and a reset circuit responsive to a detection signal from the comparator circuit to generate a reset signal of a predetermined logic level for at least a predetermined time period to apply a reset signal to the reset terminal.
