Abstract
A calculator system is provided using a stored program data processor and an audio message subsystem to process digital information and to provide audio messages for operator interaction. The calculator system utilizes a digital data processor to execute program routines to process digital information and to communicate with an operator using audio messages. Digital message information is stored in a digital memory and is accessed in response to operator generated signals to provide audio messages.
Claims4
A data processing system comprising:
- operator actuable input means for generating at least one input signal;
- stored program computer means for processing digital speech information under control of a stored program in response to the input signal;
- said computer means comprising memory means for storing digital information;
- said memory means comprising a first memory portion for storing the program wherein said stored program includes a plurality of computer instructions and said memory means further comprising a second memory portion for storing the digital speech information;
- and said computer means further comprising means for generating at least one output signal related to a speech message in response to the processing of the stored digital speech information;
- and
- speech means for generating a speech message in response to the output signal;
- said speech means comprising signal conditioning means for generating a conditioned signal in response to the output signal and sound transducer means for generating the speech message in response to the conditioned signal.
