AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an apparatus for taking an electronic message from a user and notifying the receiver in real-time to prevent the message from being delayed or missed out. The apparatus includes a message input device, a message storing device, a message playing device, a motion detector, and a controller. The motion detector triggers the controller to read the electronic message from the message storing device and play it through the message playing device in response to the trigger signal. This technology makes it easier to communicate with the receiver and ensures that the message is delivered quickly and efficiently.

Problems solved by technology

These traditional message-leaving devices, however, are not efficient and user-friendly enough due to their passive and monotonous features.
First of all, both types of above message-leaving devices cannot actively transmit the message to the receiver.
Hence, once the receiver forgets to check or does not pay attention to the message-leaving device, some important messages are likely to be missed out or delayed.
Moreover, the traditional message-leaving devices permit only of simple characters or voices to express their thoughts and emotion.
Sometimes, such expression is not enough for transmitting exactly what the user wants to convey to the receiver.
Further, it is inconvenient for the people who cannot give and take messages by handwriting or speaking.
For example, one or both of the user and the receiver cannot read or write, or they have difficulty in listening or speaking.

Embodiment Construction

[0032]The present invention will now be described more specifically with reference to the following embodiments. It is to be noted that the following descriptions of preferred embodiments of this invention are presented herein for purpose of illustration and description only; it is not intended to be exhaustive or to be limited to the precise form disclosed.

[0033]Please refer to FIG. 1 which is an appearance diagram illustrating a preferred embodiment of an apparatus for taking an electronic message according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the size of the electronic message-leaving apparatus, which is called as the electronic messenger hereinafter, is preferably made to be similar to that of a personal digital assistant (PDA) so that it is convenient to be carried by the user and mounted in a proper place. For example, the electronic messenger can be adhered, hung or disposed on the wall, the table, the door, the door of a refrigerator or any other place where the ele...

Abstract

An apparatus for taking an electronic message from a user and actively notifying a receiver is disclosed. The apparatus includes a message input device for receiving the electronic message from the user, a message storing device for storing the electronic message therein, a message playing device for playing the electronic message, a vibration detector for detecting a certain level of vibration, a controller electrically connected to the message input device, the message storing device, the message playing device and the vibration detector, and a case accommodating the message input device, the message storing device, the message playing device, the vibration detector and the controller therein. The vibration detector sends out a trigger signal in response to the vibration, and the controller allows the electronic message to be read out from the message storing device and played by the message playing device in response to the trigger signal.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an apparatus for taking an electronic message from a user, and more particularly to an apparatus for taking an electronic message from a user and actively notifying a receiver.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A traditional message-leaving device is a note board based on hand writing. With the development of electronic industry, a voice recorder such as an answering machine is used for leaving voice message. These traditional message-leaving devices, however, are not efficient and user-friendly enough due to their passive and monotonous features.[0003]First of all, both types of above message-leaving devices cannot actively transmit the message to the receiver. In other words, they work only when the receiver purposely checks whether there is any message on the note board or in the answering machine. Hence, once the receiver forgets to check or does not pay attention to the message-leaving device, some important messages ar...
