Description
Module sonore permettant la reconnaissance du contenu de support Audio-VidéoSound module allowing recognition of Audio-Video support content
La présente invention est relative à une cassette du genre audio et/ou vidéo qui est notamment constituée par un boîtier comprenant un module rapporté d'identification et de reconnaissance de cette cassette.The present invention relates to a cassette of the audio and / or video genre which is in particular constituted by a box comprising an add-on module for identifying and recognizing this cassette.
L'identification et la reconnaissance d'une cassette audio et/ou vidéo sont actuellement réalisées par la lecture d'étiquettes apposées sur le boîtier de la cassette et/ou le coffret de rangement : il s'agit donc d'une identification et reconnaissance essentiellement visuelle. Lorsque la cassette est susceptible d'être réenregistrée, il est alors nécessaire d'en modifier l'identification : ceci a conduit à superposer des étiquettes ou à utiliser des moyens d'écriture effaçables. Par ailleurs il a été déjà proposé d'utiliser des marques d'identification et de reconnaissance tactiles pour les non-voyants : ceci nécessite de nombreuses manipulations par ces derniers avant de trouver la cassette souhaitée. De plus, ces moyens d'identification et de reconnaissance tactiles sont difficiles à créer.The identification and recognition of an audio and / or video cassette is currently carried out by reading labels affixed to the cassette casing and / or the storage box: it is therefore an identification and recognition essentially visual. When the cassette is likely to be re-recorded, it is then necessary to modify its identification: this has led to superimposing labels or using erasable writing means. Furthermore, it has already been proposed to use tactile identification and recognition marks for the blind: this requires numerous manipulations by the latter before finding the desired cassette. In addition, these means of tactile identification and recognition are difficult to create.
Aussi un des buts de la présente invention est-il de fournir une cassette du genre audio et/ou vidéo comportant un moyen d'identification et de reconnaissance qui peut être modifié sans être altéré.One of the aims of the present invention is therefore to provide a cassette of the audio and / or video genre comprising an identification and recognition means which can be modified without being altered.
Un autre but de la présente invention est de fournir une telle cassette dont le moyen d'identification et de reconnaissance est particulièrement adapté aux non-voyants. Un but supplémentaire de cette invention est de fournir une telle cassette dont la fabrication est d'un coût faible et ne nécessite pas de grande modification par rapport à celle des cassettes actuelles.Another object of the present invention is to provide such a cassette, the identification and recognition means of which is particularly suitable for the blind. An additional object of this invention is to provide such a cassette, the manufacture of which is of low cost and does not require any major modification compared to that of current cassettes.
Ces buts, ainsi que d'autres qui apparaîtront par la suite, sont atteints par une cassette du genre ci-dessus qui est constituée par un corps sensiblement parallélépipédique dans lequel sont situées deux bobines d'axe parallèle, sur l'une d'elle étant enroulée une bande magnétique dont chaque extrémité est solidaire d'une bobine et qui peut défiler devant une fenêtre que comporte ce corps, laquelle cassette est caractérisée, selon la présente invention, par le fait que le corps comporte un module rapporté d'identification et de reconnaissance. La description qui va suivre et qui ne présente aucun caractère limitatif, doit être lue en regard des figures annexées, parmi lesquelles :These aims, as well as others which will appear subsequently, are achieved by a cassette of the above type which is constituted by a substantially parallelepiped body in which two coils of parallel axis are located, on one of them. being wound up a magnetic stripe, each end of which is integral with a reel and which can pass in front of a window which this body comprises, which cassette is characterized, according to the present invention, by the fact that the body comprises an added module for identification and of recognition. The description which follows and which is in no way limiting, should be read with reference to the appended figures, among which:
- la figure 1 représente une cassette comportant un module d'identification et de reconnaissance selon un second mode de réalisation de la présente invention ; et- Figure 1 shows a cassette comprising an identification and recognition module according to a second embodiment of the present invention; and
- la figure 2 représente une cassette comportant un module d'identification et de reconnaissance selon un premier mode de réalisation de la présente invention. Ainsi qu'on peut le voir sur ces figures, une cassette audio et/ou vidéo est constituée par un corps 1 sensiblement parallelépipédique à l'intérieur duquel sont situées deux bobines 2 et 3 d'axe parallèle, sur l'une d'elle est enroulée une bande magnétique, ou support d'enregistrement, dont chaque extrémité est soli- daire d'une bobine : de ce fait, chaque bobine 2, 3, est nécessairement enrouleuse et dérouleuse. La bande magnétique défile ainsi devant une fenêtre de lecture ménagée dans le corps 1 de la cassette.- Figure 2 shows a cassette comprising an identification and recognition module according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen in these figures, an audio and / or video cassette is constituted by a body 1 substantially parallelepipedic inside which are located two coils 2 and 3 of parallel axis, on one of them a magnetic tape, or recording medium, is wound up, each end of which is joined to a reel: therefore, each reel 2, 3, is necessarily winding and unwinding. The magnetic strip thus scrolls past a reading window formed in the body 1 of the cassette.
Le module rapporté 10 et le corps comprennent des moyens de solidarisation et éventuellement de désolidarisation entre eux qui sont de type connus pour l'homme de métier sans qu'il soit nécessaire de les décrire plus avant.The add-on module 10 and the body comprise means for securing and possibly detaching them which are of a type known to those skilled in the art without it being necessary to describe them further.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation de la présente invention, le module rapporté comporte un dispositif d'identification et une reconnaissance visuelle de la cassette, ou plus exactement du sujet enregistré sur la bande magnétique. Dans ce cas, ce module constitue la face opposée à celle comportant la fenêtre de lecture et les deux coins adjacents. Le dispositif d'identification et de reconnaissance visuelle comprend au moins une source d'énergie et un interrupteurAccording to a first embodiment of the present invention, the add-on module comprises a device for identification and visual recognition of the cassette, or more exactly of the subject recorded on the magnetic tape. In this case, this module constitutes the face opposite to that comprising the reading window and the two adjacent corners. The identification and visual recognition device comprises at least one energy source and a switch
15 ainsi qu'un moyen pour l'affichage d'un message sur la partie, ou languette 1 1 , reliant les deux coins.15 and a means for displaying a message on the part, or tab 1 1, connecting the two corners.
Ce module, dans cet exemple de réalisation, peut également comporter des moyens permettant de programmer le message visuel, éventuellement en désolidarisant le module du boîtier de la cassette.This module, in this exemplary embodiment, may also include means making it possible to program the visual message, optionally by separating the module from the casing of the cassette.
Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de la présente invention, le module rapporté 10 constitue un coin de la cassette et comporte un dispositif d'identification et de reconnaissance vocale. Celui-ci comprend notamment un moyen de lecture/enregistrement 14 constitué par un microphone 17 relié à un support d'enregistrement, un dispositif de lecture de ce support relié à un haut parleur 18 et des moyens 14 pour commander la lecture et l'enregistrement du support magnétique.According to a second embodiment of the present invention, the add-on module 10 constitutes a corner of the cassette and includes an identification and voice recognition device. This comprises in particular a reading / recording means 14 constituted by a microphone 17 connected to a recording medium, a device for reading this support connected to a loudspeaker 18 and means 14 for controlling the reading and recording of the magnetic support.
Ces moyens 14 comprennent notamment un bouton marche/arrêt 15, un curseur 16 commandant la lecture ou l'enregistrement du support magnétique et une source d'énergie rendant ainsi le module 10 autonome.These means 14 include in particular an on / off button 15, a cursor 16 controlling the reading or recording of the magnetic medium and a power source thus making the module 10 autonomous.
Selon un troisième mode de réalisation de la présente invention, le module rapporté comporte simultanément un dispositif d'identification et de reconnaissance visuelle et un dispositif d'identification et de reconnaissance vocale. Ce module 10 d'identification et de reconnaissance permet à son utilisateur d'enregistrer un message d'identification de la cassette qui pourra être entendu ultérieurement. According to a third embodiment of the present invention, the add-on module simultaneously comprises an identification and visual recognition device and a voice identification and recognition device. This identification and recognition module 10 allows its user to record an identification message of the cassette which can be heard later.
