Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a compact tape recorder with a computer.

Recently, a compact tape recorder with a computer built into the tape recorder has been considered, and the functions of a tape recorder and a computer are completely different. In an era where computers are widely used as computers, having a built-in computer can greatly contribute to improving office efficiency.

By the way, if a computer that performs a different function is incorporated into a small tape recorder, it would be meaningless if the feature of the small tape recorder, which is that it is convenient to carry, would be lost, and it would not be useful as a tape recorder. It is desired that the device fully performs the functions of a computer and a computer, and that the entire device is small, for example, the size of a conventional small portable tape recorder. The present invention has been made in view of these circumstances, and its purpose is to:
To provide a small-sized tape recorder with a computer that is as large as a conventional small-sized tape recorder and can sufficiently perform the functions of a tape recorder and a computer.

Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be explained with reference to illustrated embodiments.

In Figure 1 a7b, 1 in the figure is a flat case,
Inside the case 1, there are installed a function that functions as a tape recorder, and a mechanism and circuit that function as a computer.

That is, a speaker is housed in the case 1 at the part indicated by 2 in the figure, and around it are a tape drive mechanism,
It houses the necessary elements for a tape recorder, such as an amplifier circuit.

Further, switches 3 necessary for operating the tape recorder section are attached to the side wall of the case 1. Furthermore, a cassette loading section 4 is provided in a part of the case 1.
The opening of the loading section 4 is provided with a lid 5 that selectively covers the opening. On the other hand, the parts that function as a calculator include a keyboard 6 attached to the lid 5 so that its operation part is exposed, and a part housed in the case 1 to perform calculations specified by the keyboard 6. The circuit (
(not shown) and a display section 7 mounted inside the case 1 and displaying the output of the circuit.

However, as mentioned above, there are problems caused by attaching the keyboard 6 of the computer section to the lid 5, namely, it is not possible to check whether the cassette is attached or not, and it is difficult to check whether the tape is running or not. The problems such as not being able to check the remaining amount of tape and not being able to check how much space is left on the tape have been resolved as follows.

That is, lock-type mode selection switches 11, 12, 13, and 14 are provided on the upper wall of the case 1, and the display section 7
a numerical display section 15 that displays the results of the computer section; a display section 16 that displays the running status of the tape and the remaining amount of tape;
Display section 17 that displays whether a force set is loaded or not.
and.

The above-mentioned switch 11 is used to select the computer operation, and when this switch 11 is turned on, each display system control circuit 18 shown in FIG. becomes). When the keyboard 6 is operated in this state, the arithmetic operation specified by the keyboard 6 is performed in the arithmetic circuit 19, and the result is displayed on the numeric display section 15 of the display section 7 via the drive circuit 20. Further, when the switch 12 is turned on, the pulse generator 21, adjustment circuit 22 and drive circuit 23 shown in FIG. 2 operate, and the display section 16 decreases only when the tape is running. When the switch 13 is turned on, the pulse generator 21, addition/subtraction circuit 22 and drive circuit 23 described above operate, and a bar-shaped display appears on the display section 16 corresponding to the remaining amount of tape. Further, when the switch 14 is turned on, the tape attachment detection circuit 24 is activated, and the result is transmitted to the display section 17 via the drive circuit 25.
will be displayed. Therefore, by simply operating the switches 12, 13, and 14, it is possible to immediately know whether the force set is attached, whether the tape is running, and how much tape remains. As described above, the present invention is a compact tape recorder with a computer, in which the keyboard 6 of the computer is attached to the lid 5 of the force set mounting section 4.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the overall size from increasing due to the presence of the keyboard 6, so that it is easy to use.
It is possible to provide a compact tape recorder with a computer that can further expand the range of use. Note that each display system is not limited to that in the embodiment.
