Abstract

An event predictor on a motherboard has a storage device, a date filter, a text analyzer, and a speech database. The storage device stores an event table containing a plurality of events. The date filter is connected to the storage device for receiving date information provided by the motherboard such that data of today associated event field is extracted by reading the event table from the storage device when the motherboard is booting. The text analyzer is connected to the date filter for converting data of today associated event field into a text data. The speech database stores a plurality of characters in a form of speech data for proceeding to search and match based on the text data, thereby outputting a sequence of corresponding speech data.

Claims

1. A device for event reminding when booting a motherboard, comprising:

a storage device, which stores an event table containing a plurality of events;

a date filter, which is connected to the storage device for receiving date information provided by the motherboard such that when the motherboard is booting, data of event field of today is extracted by reading the event table from the storage device, and identify the data of event is text data or voice data;

a text analyzer, which is connected to the date filter for converting the data of event field of today into a text data;

a speech database, which stores a plurality of characters in a form of speech data, for proceeding to search and match with the text data converted by the text analyzer, thereby outputting a sequence of corresponding speech data.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a speech synthesizer connected to the speech database and the date filter for synthesizing the speech data as a sound data to play.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the event table records virus data as a text file.

4. The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the event table records virus data as a sound file.

5. The device as claimed in claim 4, wherein when virus data extracted by the date filter is a sound file, the speech synthesizer is connected to the date filter for directly playing the sound file.

6. The device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an LPC bus connecting the device to a southbridge chip on the motherboard.

7. The device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an I2C bus connecting the device to a southbridge chip on the motherboard.

8. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the storage device further stores text or sound data of calendars, birthdays, festivals, to do list, meeting schedules, greetings and advertisements.
