BACKGROUND
OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to recording devices and, more specifically, to
a recording device designed for subliminal suggestions, including a combined
LCD alarm clock and recording device. The recording device digitally records
a user's message and repeats the message in delayed increments of time. The
recording device is able to record a message and replay the message at predetermined
intervals until the cycle terminates or until activation of a stop button. Preferably,
the recorded message is an affirmation or subliminal message in the user's voice
which is continually listened to while the user sleeps. Additionally, the apparatus
may include a teddy bear or other stuffed animal encasing, which is conducive
to use of the invention by a child.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Numerous other types of recording devices exist in the prior art, including
tape recorders, MP3 devices, digital voice recorders, and cell phone recorders,
none of which, however, can record messages and repeatedly play them back at
predetermined intervals. While these devices may be suitable for the purposes
for which they were designed, they would not be as suitable for the purposes
of the present invention, as hereinafter described.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The present invention relates to recording devices and, more specifically, to
a recording device designed for subliminal suggestions, including a combined
LCD alarm clock and recording device. The recording device digitally records
a user's message and repeats the message in delayed increments of time. The
recording device is able to record a message and replay the message at predetermined
intervals until the cycle terminates or until activation of a stop button. Preferably,
the recorded message is an affirmation or subliminal message in the user's voice
which is continually listened to while the user sleeps. Additionally, the apparatus
may include a teddy bear or other stuffed animal encasing, which is conducive
to use of the invention by a child.
A primary object of the present invention is to provide a recording device that
overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art.
A secondary object of the present invention is to provide a recording device
that includes an LCD alarm clock.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a recording device including
a processor, memory, microphone, speaker, adjustable volume, audio output jack,
and a plurality of control buttons.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a recording device
wherein a plurality of control buttons activates at least one of a RECORD function,
a PLAY function, a START function, a MODE function, and a SET function.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a recording device that
is encased in a teddy bear.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a recording device encased
in a teddy bear wherein the control buttons are positioned on the external surface
of the teddy bear.
Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide a recording device
that plays back a recorded message at predetermined intervals.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a recording device
wherein playback of the recorded message may be delayed for a predetermined
period to allow the user to fall asleep prior to playback.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a recording device
for replaying the recorded messages at predetermined intervals after the delay
period.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a recording device wherein
the replay of the message provides subliminal instructions to the user.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a recording device
wherein the replay of the message provides affirmations to the user.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a recording device wherein
the replay of the message provides subliminal suggestions to the user.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a recording device
simple and easy to use.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a recording
device that is inexpensive to manufacture and use.
Additional objects of the present invention will appear as the description proceeds.
The present invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art by providing
a recording device that plays a recorded message in the user's voice in delayed
intervals in order to allow a user to listen to the messages while sleeping.
The recording device is combined with an LCD alarm clock and is selectively
positioned adjacent or atop a bed in which the user sleeps. The recording device
may also be encased in a teddy bear or other stuffed animal so as to be positioned
unobjectionably adjacent or atop a child's bed. The recording device includes
a plurality of control buttons, which control the functions of the device. Using
these control buttons, the user can record affirmations or subliminal messages
for improving the self-confidence, self-image, and way the user lives his or
her life.
The foregoing and other objects and advantages will appear from the description
to follow. In the description reference is made to the accompanying drawings,
which forms a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific
embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments will
be described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice
the invention, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized
and that structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of
the invention. In the accompanying drawings, like reference characters designate
the same or similar parts throughout the several views.
