Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a user feel as if the user sent and receives decisions of questioning and answering to and from television by reproducing a video tape and making a question with an image and a voice, extracting the encoded voice signal of a correct answer, and deciding and indicating whether or not an answer from an input part matches the correct answer. CONSTITUTION:When the video tape is reproduced and a PB signal is sent, its voice signal is inputted to a reception part 8. A demodulation part 9 detects only the encoded PB signal showing a correct answer which is not recognized by the user from various voices inputted from the reception part 8 and sends it as a binary signal to a total control circuit 10. When the signal sequence of the total control circuit 10 is 'A2#', number number input from an input switch 6 is expected. When a number is inputted within a specific time and it is a correct answer, an indication part 7 indicates that the number is correct, but when the number is a wrong number of when no number is inputted within the specific time, that is indicated and a voice signal is expected again. Conse quently, the user enjoys feeling as if the user sent and received signals to and from the television in two ways.

<Function> A videotape is recorded with a video and audio signal that the user can recognize that represents a problem such as arithmetic or word play, and a coded audio signal that the user cannot recognize that represents the correct answer to the problem. Set it on a tape recorder (VTR) and play it. Then, the above-mentioned question is outputted from the television as video and audio, and the correct answer to the above-mentioned question is outputted as an encoded audio signal that cannot be recognized by the user. The audio signal output from the television is received by the receiving section of the main device. The demodulator selects only the encoded audio signal representing the correct answer from among the received audio signals. On the other hand, the user looks at the television screen and inputs a signal representing the answer from the input section. Then, the comparing means compares the coded audio signal representing the correct answer selected by the demodulating section and the signal representing the answer inputted by the user into the input section to see if they match. Then, a signal representing the comparison result is transmitted from the comparison means to the notification section. The notifying unit receives the signal from the comparing means and notifies the outside by voice or the like that the answer is correct or incorrect depending on whether the signal representing the answer inputted from the input unit matches the signal representing the correct answer. .

<Effects of the Invention> As is clear from the above, the educational toy of the present invention uses a signal that expresses a problem with video and audio that the user can recognize, and a coded audio signal that the user cannot recognize to give a correct answer. a videotape recording a signal representing the answer, a receiving section for receiving the audio signal, a demodulating section for selecting the encoded audio signal from among the received audio signals, and an input into which the user can input a signal representing the answer. a comparing means for comparing an audio signal representing the coded correct answer inputted from the demodulating section with a signal representing the answer inputted from the inputting section, and receiving a signal representing the comparison result from the comparing means; 2. A notification section that notifies the outside whether the signal representing the answer inputted from the input section matches the signal representing the correct answer, Along with asking questions,
The encoded audio signal of the correct answer, which is recorded on a videotape and cannot be recognized by the user, is extracted by the receiving section and the demodulating section of the main unit, and the comparison means checks whether the answer from the input section matches the correct answer or not. Since the information is determined and notified externally from the notification unit, even if the information is transmitted in one direction from the TV to the main unit, it is as if questions, answers, and judgments are exchanged between the TV, the user, and the main unit. This feeling can be provided with a simple, inexpensive configuration and simple operation.
