Driven by transistors 16 and 17.

The arithmetic control circuit 13 stores programs corresponding to the first to seventh questions written in the picture book 1. Hereinafter, the program will be described with reference to a flowchart.

In FIG. 6, when the melody key 9 is pressed (step S 61), the melody is output from the arithmetic control circuit 13 and the melody is played by the speaker 15 (step S 62). The light emitting diode 12 repeats blinking (step S63).

In FIG. 7, when the telephone ON key 10 is pressed (step S 71), the sound “pull-pull-pull, if I ... (main character)” is output from the arithmetic and control circuit 13 (step S 71). S72) Meanwhile, the light emitting diode 12 repeats flashing (step S73).

In FIG. 8, when the telephone OFF key 11 is pressed (step S 81), a voice “Jay again” is output from the arithmetic and control circuit 13 (step S 82), and at the same time, the light emitting diode 12 is turned off. The blinking is repeated (step S83).

In FIG. 9, when the # key 7 is pressed (step S 91), a sound indicating that a call is being made is output from the arithmetic and control circuit 13 at the same time (step S 92). Then, the light emitting diode 12 repeats blinking (step S93).

In FIG. 10, when any one of the numeric keys N0 to N9 or the * key 8 of 0 to 9 is pressed (step S101), a single tone “Pii” is output from the arithmetic and control circuit 13 (step S101). (S102), the light emitting diode 12 blinks (step S103).

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the transition to the question mode and the transition to each question process. After the * key 8 is pressed in step S111, in step S112, the numeric keys N1 to N7 of 1 to 7 are pressed. If any one of them is pressed, the process shifts to the question mode in step S113. In steps S114 to S120, it is determined which of the numeric keys N1 to N7 is 1 to 7. If the numeric key N1 is 1, the subroutine transits to the subroutine for processing the first question (step S121). If it is N1, the process transits to the subroutine for processing the second question (step S122), and similarly, transits to the problem process subroutine of the number corresponding to each numeric key (steps S123 to S127).

[0027] Even if the question mode is set in step S113, if any one of the melody key 9, the phone ON key 10 and the phone OFF key 11 is pressed (step S128), the question mode ends at that point. That is, if any one of the melody key 9, the telephone ON key 10, and the telephone OFF key 11 is pressed, the problem mode is cleared. When the question mode is ended in this way, when each of the melody key 9, the telephone ON key 10, and the telephone OFF key 11 is pressed, as shown in FIG. 6, FIG. 7, and FIG. The light emitting diode 12 is turned on and off simultaneously with the generation of the sound corresponding thereto.

The correct answer for the first step is "2" and the correct answer for the second step is "4". The correct answer for the question in the third step is “5”, and the correct answer for the question in the fourth step is “8”. Therefore, it is first determined in step S401 whether or not the numeral key N2 is 2. If it is correct, the correct sound of "ping-pong" is output in step S402, and at the same time, the light emitting diode 12 is blinked. To output the incorrect sound of "boo", and at the same time, blink the light emitting diode 12.

If the problem of the first step is cleared, it is determined whether or not the question of the second step is the numeric key N4 of 4 in step S404, and if it is correct, the correct sound of “ping-pong” is generated in step 405. Simultaneously with the output, the light emitting diode 12 is turned on and off. If the answer is incorrect, an incorrect answering sound of "booboo" is output in step S406, and the light emitting diode 12 is turned on and off.

If the problem of the second step is cleared, it is determined whether the problem of the third step is the numeric key N5 of 5 in step S407, and if it is correct, the correct sound of “ping-pong” is obtained in step S408. At the same time, the light emitting diode 12 is turned on and off. If the answer is incorrect, an incorrect answering sound of "booboo" is output in step S409, and at the same time, the light emitting diode 12 is turned on and off.

If the problem of the third step is cleared, it is determined whether or not the question of the fourth step is the numeric key N8 of 8 in step S410, and if it is correct, the correct answer of “ping-pong” is obtained in step S411. At the same time, the light emitting diode 12 is turned on and off. If the answer is incorrect, an incorrect answering sound of "booboo" is output in step S412, and at the same time, the light emitting diode 12 is turned on and off.

When all the problems up to the fourth step are cleared, the light emitting diode 12 is turned on and off while outputting a fanfare sound in step S413.

If any of the melody key 9, the telephone ON key 10, the telephone OFF key 11 and the * key 8 is pressed during the processing of the third question (step S414), the processing of the third question is ended. Let it. Also in this case, when each of the melody key 9, the telephone ON key 10, the telephone OFF key 11, and the * key 8 is pressed, the light emitting diode 12 flashes simultaneously with the generation of a sound corresponding to each key.
