« Dispositif pour fournir une activité de divertissement à des personnes niai voyantes.»  "Device for providing entertainment activity to sighted naïi people."

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour fournir une activité de divertissement à. notamment, des personnes malvoyantes et/ou non- voyantes, dispositif formé d'un circuit- console incorporant un module de reconnaissance vocale coopérant avec un capteur de son et un circuit de restitution sonore (45, 47). The present invention relates to a device for providing entertainment activity to. in particular, visually impaired and / or blind persons, a device consisting of a console circuit incorporating a voice recognition module cooperating with a sound sensor and a sound reproduction circuit (45, 47).

Ce qu'on entend par activité de divertissement peut être un jeu tel qu'un jeu de mots croisés ou un cours d'apprentissage de langue. Toute autre activité de ce genre rentre dans le cadre de la présente invention.  What is meant by entertainment activity may be a game such as a crossword game or a language learning class. Any other activity of this kind is within the scope of the present invention.

Ce dispositif trouve, donc, des applications importantes pour la distraction et aussi la sollicitation intellectuelle de personnes malvoyantes ou non-voyantes.  This device finds, therefore, important applications for the distraction and also the intellectual solicitation of visually impaired or blind people.

Un tel dispositif, conçu pour des personnes mal voyantes est connu du document de brevet WO 2007/027763. Ce dispositif, cependant, ne permet pas de changer commodément d'activités, il fait appel à des circuits de mémorisation contenant des données ou même il fait appel au réseau Internet.  Such a device, designed for visually impaired persons is known from the patent document WO 2007/027763. This device, however, does not allow to conveniently change activities, it uses memory circuits containing data or even it uses the Internet.

Le but de l'invention est de fournir un dispositif du genre mentionné dans le préambule pour lequel on a prévu des mesures pour que les personnes en question puissent changer de jeu ou d'activités dans des conditions faciles malgré leur handicap.  The object of the invention is to provide a device of the type mentioned in the preamble for which measures have been provided so that the persons in question can change their game or activities in easy conditions despite their disability.

Pour cela, un tel dispositif est remarquable en ce qu'il comporte un circuit- cartouche amovible relié audit circuit-console, muni d'une mémoire de divertissement pour contenir toutes les données relatives audit divertissement et parmi lesquelles certaines concernent ledit module de reconnaissance vocale.  For this, such a device is remarkable in that it comprises a removable cartridge circuit connected to said console circuit, provided with an entertainment memory for containing all the data relating to said entertainment and among which some relate to said voice recognition module .

Ainsi, ce circuit cartouche amovible permet de changer, de manière facile pour un handicapé de jeu par une simple substitution de circuit-cartouche. L'utilisation du module de reconnaissance vocale est particulièrement adaptée aux personnes présentant des déficiences visuelles.  Thus, this removable cartridge circuit makes it possible to change, in an easy way for a handicapped person by a simple substitution of cartridge circuit. The use of the voice recognition module is particularly suitable for people with visual impairments.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, la mémoire de divertissement faisant partie du circuit-cartouche contient à la fois des données concernant le code exécutable et aussi des données d'environnement (paramètres et autres constantes) tandis que le dispositif comporte une double mémoire pour enregistrer respectivement lesdites données d'environnement et les dites données de codes exécutables.  According to another aspect of the invention, the entertainment memory forming part of the cartridge circuit contains both data concerning the executable code and also environment data (parameters and other constants) while the device comprises a double memory for respectively recording said environment data and said executable code data.

Ceci facilite dans une large mesure la programmation du module de reconnaissance utilisé. La description suivante accompagnée des dessins ci-annexés. le tout donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, fera bien comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée. Dans les dessins : This facilitates to a large extent the programming of the recognition module used. The following description accompanied by the attached drawings. all given by way of non-limiting example, will make it clear how the invention can be achieved. In the drawings:

la figure 1 montre un schéma d'un dispositif conforme à l'invention,  FIG. 1 shows a diagram of a device according to the invention,

la figure 2 montre l'organisation des mémoires de divertissement et des mémoires de travail utilisée par le dispositif de la figure 1 ,  FIG. 2 shows the organization of the entertainment memories and working memories used by the device of FIG.

Sur ces figures, les éléments communs portent tous les mêmes références sur toutes les figures. In these figures, the common elements all have the same references in all the figures.

A la figure 1, la référence 1 indique le dispositif conforme à l'invention. Ce dispositif 1 comporte, d'une part, un circuit-console 5 et, selon un aspect important de l'invention, un circuit cartouche amovible 10, d'autre part. Le fonctionnement du dispositif est basé sur les données contenues dans un circuit-cartouche 10 relié pendant le fonctionnement audit circuit au moyen d'un connecteur 20. Le dispositif 1 utilise de préférence essentiellement un circuit intégré RSC-4128 fabriqué par la société Sensory (marque enregistrée). Ce circuit intégré porte la référence 30, à la figure 1. Ce circuit 30 est spécialement conçu pour effectuer un traitement sur la reconnaissance vocale. Autour de ce circuit 30 on a disposé un capteur de son formé par un microphone 35 rattaché à un amplificateur 37 dont la sortie est reliée à un accès du circuit 30 pour appliquer les sons de voix émis par l'utilisateur en vue de subir un traitement de reconnaissance vocal. Le circuit est également capable d'effectuer la décompression de fichiers sonores et donc procure l'intérêt de jouer des fichiers sonores. Réciproquement, un haut- parleur 45 fournit des signaux sonores à l'utilisateur. Ce haut-parleur est relié à la sortie d'un amplificateur 47 dont l'entrée est reliée à la sortie d'un commutateur 49 à deux entrées. Une première de ces entrées est connectée à un port du circuit 30 et l'autre entrée est reliée au circuit cartouche 10 via le connecteur 20. Selon la position de ce commutateur, les sons résultent du traitement de la reconnaissance vocale, ou alors sont issus directement du circuit- cartouche 10. Au circuit-console 5. sont associées également différentes louches 50, 51 , 52, 53 mises à la disposition de l'utilisateur pour faire évoluer le fonctionnement dudit dispositif, il est à noter que l'on utilise les touches de préférence à des ordres vocaux qui pourraient être effectués aussi par reconnaissance vocale. On évite ainsi des désordres pour des ordres mal interprétés.  In Figure 1, the reference 1 indicates the device according to the invention. This device 1 comprises, on the one hand, a console circuit 5 and, according to an important aspect of the invention, a removable cartridge circuit 10, on the other hand. The operation of the device is based on the data contained in a cartridge circuit 10 connected during operation to said circuit by means of a connector 20. The device 1 preferably uses essentially an integrated circuit RSC-4128 manufactured by the company Sensory (trademark recorded). This integrated circuit has the reference 30, in Figure 1. This circuit 30 is specially designed to perform a processing on voice recognition. Around this circuit 30 is disposed a sound sensor formed by a microphone 35 attached to an amplifier 37 whose output is connected to an access circuit 30 to apply the voice sounds emitted by the user for the purpose of undergoing treatment voice recognition. The circuit is also capable of decompressing sound files and thus provides the benefit of playing sound files. Conversely, a loudspeaker 45 provides audible signals to the user. This speaker is connected to the output of an amplifier 47 whose input is connected to the output of a switch 49 with two inputs. A first one of these inputs is connected to a port of the circuit 30 and the other input is connected to the cartridge circuit 10 via the connector 20. Depending on the position of this switch, the sounds result from the processing of the voice recognition, or else come from directly from the cartridge circuit 10. At the console circuit 5. are also associated different ladles 50, 51, 52, 53 made available to the user to change the operation of said device, it should be noted that we use the keys preferably voice commands that could be performed also by voice recognition. This avoids disorders for misinterpreted orders.

Selon un aspect de l 'invention, le dispositif comporte deux mémoires de type flash 60 et 61 de préférence. Ces deux mémoires sont des mémoires à sorties parallèle qui sont reliées au bus de données 65 du circuit 30. L'adressage de ces mémoires est effectué par le circuit 30 via le bus d'adressage 67. Une de ces mémoires est affectée au code exécutable et l'autre aux données d'environnement. Un sélecteur de mémoires 70 permet de sélectionner la mémoire concernée. According to one aspect of the invention, the device comprises two flash type memories 60 and 61 preferably. These two memories are memories with parallel outputs which are connected to the data bus 65 of the circuit 30. The addressing of these memories is performed by the circuit 30 via the address bus 67. One of these memories is assigned to the executable code and the other to environment data. A memory selector 70 makes it possible to select the memory concerned.

Le circuit-cartouche 10 comporte une mémoire 80 pour contenir toutes les données concernant le jeu ou l'activité affecté à ce circuit-cartouche 5. Des accessoires 85 peuvent être adjoints dans ce circuit 5. Par exemple l'accessoire 85 peut être un circuit de type analogique qui fournit des signaux sonores analogiques qui sont transmis directement au circuit de restitution sonore (45. 47) via le commutateur 49 judicieusement positionné. L'alimentation de ce circuit 10 est effectuée par l' alimentation 90 du circuit-console 5 par l' intermédiaire du connecteur 20. The cartridge circuit 10 includes a memory 80 for containing all the data concerning the game or the activity assigned to this cartridge circuit 5. Accessories 85 may be added in this circuit 5. For example the accessory 85 may be a circuit analog type that provides analog audio signals that are transmitted directly to the sound reproduction circuit (45, 47) via the switch 49 judiciously positioned. The supply of this circuit 10 is carried out by the power supply 90 of the console circuit 5 via the connector 20.

La figure 2 montre l'implémentation des mémoires faisant partie du dispositif de l'invention. Il est basé, notamment, sur l'échange d'information entre la mémoire 80 plutôt de grande capacité, d'une part, et les mémoires 60 et 61 de plus petite taille, d'autre part.  FIG. 2 shows the implementation of the memories forming part of the device of the invention. It is based, in particular, on the exchange of information between the memory 80 rather large capacity, on the one hand, and the memories 60 and 61 of smaller size, on the other hand.

La mémoire 80 fournissant des données sous forme série est organisée de la façon suivante. Elle comporte :  The memory 80 providing data in serial form is organized as follows. It involves :

- un fichier d'indexation NDX donnant l'adresse des données contenues,  an NDX indexing file giving the address of the data contained,

- un emplacement DT R/W pour des données inscriptibles et accessibles telles que des scores de jeu qui nécessitent d'être mis à jour.  - a DT R / W location for writable and accessible data such as game scores that need to be updated.

un emplacement RVCL pour des données exploitables par le module de reconnaissance vocale 30,  an RVCL location for data that can be used by the voice recognition module 30,

- un emplacement SND pour un ou plusieurs fichiers son emmagasinés ici sous forme numérique et qui seront restitués sous forme analogique par le module 30, un emplacement EXE pour les données de codes exécutables.  an SND location for one or more sound files stored here in digital form and which will be reproduced in analog form by the module 30, an EXE location for the executable code data.

Les mémoires 60 et 61 contiennent chacune un type de d'information : une contient des codes exécutables et l'autre des données 'environnement. Selon un aspect important de l'invention, l'affectation du type de donnée pour chacune de ces mémoires n'est pas faite a priori. Dans la suite du déroulement du fonctionnement du dispositif 1 , c'est les commandes RDR, WRF, OUT, RDF et WRD issues du circuit 30 qui va agir sur le sélecteur de mémoire 70 pour définir l'accès aux bonnes données contenues desdites mémoires 60 et 61. The memories 60 and 61 each contain one type of information: one contains executable codes and the other data environment. According to an important aspect of the invention, the assignment of the data type for each of these memories is not made a priori. In the following operation of the device 1, it is the RDR, WRF, OUT, RDF and WRD commands from the circuit 30 which will act on the memory selector 70 to define the access to the good data contained in said memories 60 and 61.

Au démarrage du dispositif, il n'est donc pas connu quelle mémoire est considérée comme étant celle qui contient des données de codes exécutables, en d'autres ternies, dans quelle position se trouve le sélecteur de mémoire 70. Pour surmonter ce problème chacune des mémoires 60 et 61 contient le programme de démarrage BT.  At startup of the device, it is therefore not known which memory is considered to be the one containing executable code data, in other words, in which position is the memory selector 70. To overcome this problem each of the memories 60 and 61 contains the boot program BT.

Le code contenu dans le programme BT permet, entre autres, l'interprétation des commandes d'accès aux différentes mémoires 60, 61 et 80. Dans une première étape. St 1 en fonction des données à transférer, on interroge le fichier index NDX. A l 'étape St2, celui-ci donne en retour l'emplacement des données en question, par exemple des données de reconnaissance vocales dans l'emplacement RVCL. A l'étape St3 ces données sont transférées dans la mémoire 60. Puis pour les données de codes exécutables, le ficliier NDX donne, pendant l'étape St4 l'emplacement des codes exécutables. Le transfert de celles-ci s'effectue durant l'étape St5 dans la mémoire 61 . The code contained in the BT program makes it possible, inter alia, to interpret the access commands to the different memories 60, 61 and 80. In a first step. St 1 according to the data to be transferred, the NDX index file is queried. In step St2, this gives back the location of the data in question, for example voice recognition data in the RVCL location. In step St3 these data are transferred into the memory 60. Then for the executable code data, the file NDX gives, during the step St4 the location of the executable codes. The transfer thereof takes place during step St5 in the memory 61.

Sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, on peut aussi transférer les codes de données exécutables dans l'une des mémoires 60 et 61 avant les données de reconnaissance vocale. Celles-ci (RVCL) pourront être transférées soit d'un seul tenant après les codes exécutables, soit au fur et à mesure de l'exécution du programme qui fera appel de lui-même aux données RVCL.  Without departing from the scope of the invention, it is also possible to transfer the executable data codes in one of the memories 60 and 61 before the voice recognition data. These (RVCL) can be transferred either in one piece after the executable codes, or as and when the program that will call itself to the RVCL data.
