OPERATION DETECTING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18590812 titled 'OPERATION DETECTING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

The abstract describes a patent application for a system that outputs a sound corresponding to an operation when a ringing signal is received. The system includes a control portion that can output a ringing command signal in a normal state and transition to a paused state with lower power consumption when a pause condition is met. An OR circuit combines an operation detection signal with the ringing command signal to output a logical OR signal to the operation sound output portion.

The system outputs a sound based on an operation when a ringing signal is received.
A control portion can switch between a normal state and a paused state with lower power consumption.
An OR circuit combines operation detection and ringing command signals to control the sound output.
The system efficiently manages power consumption while still providing the necessary sound output.
The technology can be applied in various devices where sound notifications are required.

Potential Applications: - Telecommunication devices - Alarm systems - Notification systems in industrial settings

Problems Solved: - Efficient power management in systems requiring sound output - Seamless transition between normal and paused states

Benefits: - Reduced power consumption - Reliable sound output based on operations - Enhanced user experience with customizable sound notifications

Commercial Applications: Title: Efficient Sound Notification System for Various Devices This technology can be utilized in telecommunication devices, alarm systems, and industrial notification systems to provide efficient sound notifications while managing power consumption effectively. The market implications include improved user experience, energy savings, and increased reliability in sound notifications.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine when to transition from the normal state to the paused state? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in different devices and systems?

Original Abstract Submitted

An operation sound output portion outputs a sound corresponding to an operation when a ringing signal is input. A control portion is capable of outputting a ringing command signal in a normal state. The control portion transitions to a paused state with lower power consumption than the normal state when a pause condition is satisfied in the normal state. An OR circuit outputs a logical OR signal of an operation detection signal of an operation detecting portion and a ringing command signal to the operation sound output portion as the ringing signal.
