| 180 | Electronic calculator with acoustic confirmation of key actuation and acoustical alarms | US283978 | 1981-07-16 | US4412210A | 1983-10-25 | Isamu Washizuka; Shintaro Hashimoto |
| An electronic calculator is provided which generates confirmation sounds identifying actual depression of any keys of a keyboard. The calculator includes a piezoelectric acoustic element which is responsive to key signals derived from a processor unit when any keys of the keyboard are manually operated. The calculator generates these sounds only for a fixed period of time starting with actual depression of any keys. The processor unit generates key-strobe signals which are input to the keys on the keyboard. Each key has its own key-strobe signal, and, when depressed, the signal is passed to the processor uniquely identifying each key. The processor generates sound instruction signals indicative of normal and erroneous operational states in the calculator in accordance with the received key-strobe signals. An audible confirmation or alarm sound is then generated in accordance with the sound instruction signal. | ||||||
