Chime system: chime management using personal computer

CHIME SYSTEM is a new and innovative set of computer programs that controls school chimes. In the past, teachers were struggling with an outdated machine, which was difficult to use. You had to fill in a mark-sending card and insert it. It often misread the sheet and you had to set a whole week’s setting at the same time. However, with this CHIME SYSTEM, teachers are now free from the unbearable work. CHIME SYSTEM has a lot of advantages. First, it is flexible and easy to use. You can set the schedule with clicks and drags at any time, very easily. Second, since CHIME SYSTEM has a nice-looking window that shows current settings, it is easy to spot errors, while the previous system never told us when chimes would be played until they were played. Third, it is inexpensive because what you need is only an old personal computer and some relays, and because we worked for free. Thus, CHIME SYSTEM is an ideal replacement for old-fashioned chime systems all over Japan.
