Abstract

In a data registering system, keyed-in data coupled from a key input section and voiced sound input data coupled from a microphone are compared in a sound controller and, when both the keyed in and voiced data coincide, subsequent calculation processing with the input data is allowed.

Claims

1. A data registering system with keyed in and voiced data comparison, comprising:

a keyboard having a plurality of keys for inputting keyed in data;

a microphone for inputting voiced language sounds from an operator;

sound input conversion means coupled to said microphone for converting the inputted voice sounds to sound input data;

a sound input data memory coupled to said sound input conversion means for storing the converted sound input data therein;

alarm informing means; and

control means coupled to said keyboard, to said sound input data memory and to said alarm informing means, and including judging means for judging whether or not the contents of keyed in data inputted by the operation of at least one key on said keyboard coincides with the contents of the sound input data which is stored in said sound input data memory, said control means being responsive to said judging means for executing a process based on the coincidence input signal when the contents of said keyed in data and said sound input data are determined by said judging means to coincide with each other and for inhibiting the execution of said process and driving said alarm informing means when the contents of said keyed in data and said sound input data are determined by said judging means not to coincide with each other.

2. The data registering system of claim 1, wherein:

said keyboard has numeral keys and function keys; and

said control means includes an entry memory for storing keyed in numeral data which is inputted by the operation of keys on said keyboard, said judging means being responsive to operation of a function key of said keyboard for judging whether or not the contents of said sound input data memory coincide with the contents of said entry memory when a function key for designating a calculation processing is operated by an operator.

3. The data registering system of claim 1, wherein said judging means is responsive to key operation of said keyboard for judging whether or not the contents of said sound input data memory coincides with the contents of the keyed in data which is inputted each time a key on said keyboard is operated.

4. The data registering system of claim 1, wherein said alarm informing means comprises an alarm device for producing an audible sound.

5. The data registering system of claim 2, wherein said alarm device comprises a sound data memory for storing sound data corresponding to voice data of different voices;

sound output conversion means coupled to said sound data memory for converting the sound data from said data memory to corresponding voice output data; and

a speaker coupled to said sound output conversion means for producing an audible sound corresponding to said voice output data.

6. The data registering system of claim 5, wherein said control means is responsive to said judging means for driving said speaker to generate, when a noncoincidence is detected by said judging means, a sound corresponding to the voice data representing a detected noncoincidence.

7. The data registering system of claim 1, wherein said control means comprises a central processing unit for executing a process based on said coincidence input signal when the contents of said keyed in data and said sound input data are determined by said judging means to coincide with each other.

8. The data registering system of claim 1, wherein said sound input data memory comprises a first register coupled to said sound input conversion means for storing the sound input data provided by said sound input conversion means;

a sound data memory section for storing a plurality of sound data items corresponding to different predetermined sounds therein; and

said data items from said sound data memory section being selectively read out therefrom responsive to the contents of said first register, said data items read out from said sound data memory section corresponding to voice input sounds from said operator.
