Abstract
Abstract In an audio sound recording/reproducing apparatus (1), instruction information related to a document is recorded in the recording region (26) of a semiconductor memory together with the document. In the semiconductor memory (6), flags related to a document portion and an instruction portion, and the addresses of the document and the instruction portions are provided. At the time of reproduction, the instruction portion is reproduced prior to reproduction of the document portion. When the content of the semiconductor memory (6) is stored in a built-in memory (14) in the apparatus, the instruction portion is stored before the document portion is stored. Since the instruction portion is reproduced prior to the document portion at the time of reproduction, the user does not have to retrieve the instruction portion.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
78 words
An audio sound recording/reproducing apparatus (1) utilizing a semiconductor memory (6, 14), wherein said semiconductor memory (6, 14) includes a first recording region (26) for recording a document and information including an instruction related to the document, and a second recording region (27) for recording the position data of said document and instruction in said first recording region and identification data for the information, comprising, reference means (7) for referring to the data in said second recording region.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
51 words
An audio sound recording/reproducing apparatus (1) as recited in claim 1, further comprising, reproduction means (7, 8, 9, 10, 11) for reproducing the data of said first recording region (26) by referring to the data of said second region (27) using said reference means (7) when said document data is reproduced.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
An audio sound recording/reproducing apparatus (1) as recited in claim 2, wherein said semiconductor memory (6, 14) includes a memory card (6) detachably mounted to said audio sound recording/reproducing apparatus.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
An audio sound recording/reproducing apparatus (1) as recited in claim 3, wherein said memory card (6) includes a batch erase type programmable ROM (16, 17, 18, 19).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
An audio sound recording/reproducing apparatus (1) as recited in claim 3, wherein audio sound-compressed data is written on said memory card (6).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
43 words
An audio sound recording/reproducing apparatus as recited in claim 2, wherein said reproduction means (7, 8, 9, 10, 11) reproduces only said document information among the information recorded in said first recording region (26) excluding said identification information at said time of reproduction.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
77 words
An audio sound recording/reproducing apparatus (1) as recited in claim 2, wherein a plurality sets of the document and information thereof are stored in said first recording region (26) and second recording region (27), the apparatus (1), further comprising, specifying means (7) for specifying desired information among said plurality sets of the document and information thereof, and reproduction means (7, 8, 9, 10, 11) for reproducing only said specified document information when said specified data is selected.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
137 words
An audio sound recording/reproducing system (1) including a master machine (33) and a slave machine (32), wherein a memory card (6) is detachably mounted to said master machine (33) and slave machine (32), a first recording region (26) for recording information including a document and an instruction related to said document and a second recording region (27) for recording the positions of said document and instruction in said first recording region and identification data for said information are provided in said memory card, and said master machine (33) includes storage means (14) for storing the content of said memory card (6), and control means (7) for controlling said storage means such that the instruction information recorded in said first recording region (26) is stored and then the document information is stored when said storing operation is conducted.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
82 words
An audio sound recording/reproducing system (1) as recited in claim 8, wherein said storage means (14) has first and second storage regions (26, 27) for storing information recorded in said first and second recording regions (26, 27), and said control means (7) controls said storage means (14) such that the information of said second recording region (27) is stored in said second storage region (27) and said instruction information and document information are stored by referring to said second storage region (27).
