Problems solved by technology

[0013] The above-mentioned sound recording and reproducing apparatus only handles recorded sound data as analog sound data, and cannot easily use the data in the form of digital code (character) information, because very complicated work is required to classify required data
That is, it is very difficult to bring together the sound data containing the content of "the sound recording and playback device" because the raw data requires time-consuming sound analysis

[0046] figure 1 is an external view of an electronic device with sound recording and playback functions according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0047] For further explanation, it is assumed that figure 1 The electronic device is a portable cassette recorder.

[0048] Such as figure 1 As shown in , the electronic equipment includes: a display type input device (touch panel) 6, 55 having a tablet and a liquid crystal display (LCD); a sound input device 7 such as a microphone; a sound output device 8 such as a speaker; and A set of instruction input means includes, for example, a record button (REC) 51, a button (STOP) 52 to end the operation, a playback button (PLAY) 53, and a button (INDEX) 54 for specifying the position of sound data. In this case, the instruction input means may be either a button type or a touch panel type integrally formed with a tablet and LCD.

[0049] The electronic equipment also includes control means (not shown) for turning on ...

[0108] Figure 12 is an external view of an electronic device with sound recording and playback functions of a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0109] For the sake of illustration, assume Figure 12 The electronic equipment is a portable terminal device (for example, an electronic calculator or a portable terminal), which is equipped with a speaker and a microphone.

[0110] Such as Figure 12 As shown in , the electronic equipment includes: a display type input device (touch panel) 6, 55 having a tablet and a liquid crystal display; a sound input device 7 such as a microphone; and a sound output device 8 such as a speaker.

[0111] Instruction input means necessary for recording and reproducing sound data are touch keys (buttons) provided on display and input means (touch panels) 6, 55 including a tablet and LEDs. For example, set recording touch key "RECORDING (REC)" 51', "STOP" 52' for stopping recording and playback, "REPRODUCTING" (PLAY) 53' for playback, ...

no. 3 example

[0117] Assume that the electronic device according to the third embodiment of the present invention is used as a communication terminal having telephone and facsimile functions.

[0118] This embodiment has similar Figure 12 The basic structure of the second embodiment (not shown), but with a telephone handset that can be connected to a public telephone line using a standard socket. In summary, this example is in Figure 12 Based on the portable terminal, it is produced by adding a speaker and a microphone, and installing a radio communication device.

[0119] The functional block diagram of this embodiment is not shown, but it is basically similar to those of the first and second embodiments except for communication control means and connection means.

[0120] A feature of this embodiment is that it enables the user to immediately place flags on important parts of the conversation being recorded while communicating with the remote party. When replaying the recorded conver...

Abstract

An electronic apparatus having audio recording and reproducing functions comprises various means such as audio input means, audio output means, audio input and output manipulating means, data storage means, operation and process control means, which are provided for recording and reproducing audio data. The apparatus also comprises positional information specifying means for specifying a position corresponding to a portion in the audio data that is required to be recorded, and storing that positional information into the storage means. The apparatus further comprises display means for visually displaying the position corresponding to the portion of the audio data that is required to be recorded and stored in the storage means.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electronic equipment with sound recording and playback functions, which are realized in the form of various products, such as cassette recorders and magnetic disk (MD) recorders, or portable devices with telephone functions or communication terminal. Background technique [0002] The increasing development of digital technology has enabled various electronic devices to process sound signals. Many electronic devices can easily store sound data input via a sound input unit (for example, a microphone) after a person touches a recording start key on an operation portion. While recording the input sound on the recording medium, an index mark can be set between two recordings on the recording medium, so that the recording to be played back can be retrieved in the future. [0003] Japanese Patent Application Laid Open for Public Examination No. 9-320148 discloses a sound recording and playback device having the following tec...
