Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to processing / sequential display of a large amount of character data obtained through an appropriate medium such as a text broadcast in FM radio or television broadcasting, or a homepage for Internet communication in a more easily recognizable format. The present invention also relates to a data broadcast display device that outputs synthesized speech for the description.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the progress of various communication means, so-called teletext has also become popular. Teletext is FM
This is character display data transmission on a monitor device for radio and television broadcasting, which allows visualization of the transmitted contents so that the meaning can be instantaneously and surely understood even without sound, the surrounding environment during hearing and hearing, and hearing impairment. This is a broadcast format that has excellent advantages, such as accurate information that can be immediately transmitted to people and the like.

[0003] However, teletext is generally transmitted / received as time-series text data having the smallest data capacity. Therefore, when a character is viewed on a monitor, it is merely a display of character strings. The same is true for news, weather forecasts, and stock price flash reports on the Internet that require immediacy. Various immediacy information is displayed on the monitor screen in the simplest form of character data. .

[0004]

On the receiving side of such character data transmission, it is possible to obtain a large amount of accurate and immediate information. However, in order to sequentially read a large amount of character strings, a cumbersome mental action is required. And However, if you try to convert a large amount of character data into another expression data format (for example, icon / map / graph) that is easy to see,
Since the data obtained each time is different, the processing work becomes enormous. More specifically, even if one character broadcast is about 60 seconds, at least several times as long as data conversion processing for easy visual recognition is required.

[0005] Since the character data for one broadcast has a considerably large amount of information, if it is read, understood, and subjected to an artificial operation of replacing it with another convertible expression form, it is immediately displayed due to the time lag required for the processing. Is not possible. Of course, even now, there is a direction to attempt a prompt posting process using text broadcasting as a data source, but it is not possible to efficiently post and display various text data having a high promptness through an artificial processing step.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to convert and display various character data under higher speed conditions, and to output a display that can be instantaneously understood and a synthetic voice for explanation thereof.
The point is that a large amount of character data can be widely and effectively used by users.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 shows an example of a data broadcast display device according to the present invention. First, the overall configuration will be described. Reference numeral 1 denotes an antenna for receiving a radio wave of teletext broadcasting; 2, a tuner device for selecting a radio wave received by the antenna 1; 3, a character data storage unit for temporarily storing character data selected by the tuner device 2 and input in time series. Reference numeral 4 denotes a character pattern memory for storing and storing an assumed standard character string. Reference numeral 5 denotes a match / mismatch between the character string read from the character data storage unit 3 and the standard character string stored in the character pattern memory 4. , Character data discriminating means for identifying a fixed character string included in character data.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a reading dictionary for storing and storing how to read the kanji when the fixed character string stored and stored in the character pattern memory 4 is a kanji, and 7 cuts out a word from the fixed character string identified by the character data discriminating means 5. Syntactic analysis means for decomposing the reading of the corresponding word into a symbol string corresponding to a phoneme segment of a fixed character string with reference to the reading dictionary 6, and 8 is a male voice sound in which a symbol sequence and a male voice phoneme segment are stored in advance. Elementary dictionary,
Reference numeral 9 denotes a female phoneme dictionary in which a symbol string and a female voice phoneme are stored in advance.

Reference numeral 10 denotes speech synthesis means for extracting a phoneme from the male voice phoneme dictionary 8 or female voice phoneme dictionary 9 and synthesizing speech based on the symbol string corresponding to the phoneme segment from the syntax analysis means.
Is the display conversion data set in advance corresponding to the standard character string,
In the first embodiment, data conversion means for storing icons (graphic marks) with high visibility, and 12 converts the converted data from the data conversion means 11 to the image display means 1 of the monitor device 15.
3 is a coordinate axis / time axis command device that is assigned to a coordinate area that can be displayed and that is set so that the synthesized voice is output from the voice output unit 14 in accordance with the time (timing) at which the display icon is displayed.

In order to increase the conversion efficiency and make the display after conversion easy to see, the data conversion means 11 is provided with display conversion data corresponding to a fixed character string at least for each type of current affairs news, weather forecast, stock price flash report. Is desirable. In order to facilitate the visual recognition, the display conversion data converts the time-series input character data into at least one of a graphic and a special pattern character and displays the converted character data.

In the case of various market flash reports (stock prices, exchange rates, cereals, and other market news), the data conversion means 11 uses the past stock price fluctuation data (and based on a predetermined calculation) to graphically display the numerical values included in the character data. (Future fluctuation forecast)
Is desirably converted to a graph so as to be displayed simultaneously.

This data broadcast display device operates irrespective of the content (type) of teletext, but for the sake of simplicity, a data conversion of a weather forecast will be described below as an example.

The weather forecast includes, as contents of the character data, at least a date, an entire area to be forecast (for example, Hokkaido), a plurality of fixed specific areas within the area (for example, Ishikari area), and The weather, temperature and precipitation probability of the specific area are provided.

Assuming such conditions, the character pattern memory 4 for reading a fixed character string has, at a minimum, an area for a nationwide weather forecast described in a fixed pattern and specific information in the area. Target area name, forecast weather content, numbers and symbols (%, HP, etc.) are stored. As forecast weather contents,
Specifically, for example, "sunny""swelling""sunny""cloudy""cloudy""cloudy""rainy""candy""snow""yuki""temporary"
"Morning""From the evening""Sometimes""Dark""Front"
Altitude fixed patterns such as "valley" and "typhoon", "light cloud"
"Tropical night""Mid summer day""Mid winter day""Sunset""Chilly"
Several types of character strings are stored, such as secondary fixed patterns such as "autumn leaves", "until morning", "from dawn", "sleepy", "coat", "one night", and "outerwear". In this case, the types of character strings required are at most about one hundred. The data conversion means 11 converts these character expressions into icons (graphic marks) with high visibility.

On the other hand, the syntactic analysis means 7 cuts out a word from the fixed character string identified by the character data discriminating means, and decomposes the reading of the corresponding word into phoneme units with reference to the reading dictionary 11. For example, in the case of "Ishikari district sunny and rainy", "/ i / shi / ka / ri / chi / ho / u // ha / re / / no / chi / / a / me
/]. Then, a corresponding symbol is attached to each phoneme segment, and output to the speech synthesis means 10.

The voice synthesizing means 10 receives the symbol from the syntax analyzing means 7 and extracts a corresponding phoneme piece from the male voice phoneme dictionary 8 or the female voice phoneme dictionary 9 and synthesizes the voice. At this time, the user selects whether to use the male voice phoneme dictionary 8 or the female voice phoneme dictionary 9 according to the content of the teletext. As another method, a broadcasting station specifies a voice type together with character data and transmits the data. In this case, the voice synthesizing unit 10 synthesizes voice using a dictionary of the type of voice specified by the broadcasting station.

On the other hand, the coordinate axis / time axis command device 12
Determines the coordinate points of the area, particularly the coordinate points in the entire map to be predicted, from the character string data string indicating the area name. As a result, the fixed character string input over time is first converted into a fixed icon via the character data discriminating means 5 and the data converting means 11, and the coordinate position of the corresponding specific area via the coordinate axis / time axis command device 12. Will be displayed on the screen.

The coordinate axis / time axis command device 12
Outputs the voice synthesized by the voice synthesis means 10 from the voice output means 14 at the time when the fixed-form icons converted via the data conversion means 11 are displayed on the image display means 13.

However, an unexpected expression (static expression) is often used in the weather forecast. Therefore, if there is an unexpected expression character string via the character data discriminating means 5, that is, if the collation does not match, the coordinate axis / time axis command device 12 does not convert the character string into icon data (the data string is left as it is). The character data thus input is displayed on the image display means 13 of the monitor device 15 as it is.

In such a case, the syntactic analysis means 7 cuts out a word from the data string passed through by the character data discriminating means 5, decomposes the reading of the corresponding word into phoneme units, and generates a symbol corresponding to each phoneme unit. To the speech synthesis means 10
Output to

The voice synthesizing means 10 receives the symbol from the syntax analyzing means 7 and extracts a corresponding phoneme piece from the male voice phoneme dictionary 8 or the female voice phoneme dictionary 9 and synthesizes the voice. The coordinate axis / time axis command device 12 outputs the voice synthesized by the voice synthesis means 10 from the voice output means 14 in accordance with the time at which the data string passed through the data conversion means 11 is displayed on the image display means 13. However, even in this case, since the specific area name is attached to character data (or tag data),
Various data processing is possible.

For example, the simplest method is to display a character string in a bulleted form. If at least the area coordinates (coordinate positions in the entire map displayed on the monitor screen) can be identified, the coordinate positions are displayed. The character string can be reduced / enlarged and displayed, and the character can be expressed as it is using a character frame condition (line / column / character size) that fits in a preset display box. When the number of boxes increases, it is desirable to use the arrow display to match the boxes with the coordinate points to enhance the visibility.

In the case of a weather forecast, the background image may use the entire map of the forecast (for example, Kanto Koshinetsu map).
In addition, even if the map is displayed in color, a still image is sufficient, so there is little possibility that the data capacity will be extremely compressed. However, for example, when a moving image is mixed in a text broadcast as a background image,
In the simplest case, a still image at a certain moment is directly displayed as a still image on the image display means 13 of the monitor device 15,
It is necessary to select an appropriate processing method according to the machine capacity of the data broadcast display device to be used, such as displaying the basic map in the background while ignoring the moving image, or displaying the moving image itself. If the moving image is compressed and displayed in a reduced size, the capacity (power) of the data broadcast display device is not excessively wasted. Further, the relationship between the entire map to be subjected to the weather forecast and the coordinate points of the specific area does not need to have a highly precise relationship. For example, in the case of the Kanto Koshinetsu district, locations (locations) such as Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagano, and Niigata can be roughly specified in a certain area map. System power may be minimized accordingly.

Next, the case of current news will be described. The basic processing is the same as the weather forecast, and the basic configuration of the apparatus may be the same. However, in the case of current news,
It is a fact that so-called icon display is difficult due to the variety of words used. For this reason, it is generally preferable to display the current newsletter as it is, but instead of simply displaying the text in a bulleted list at the same time, the text display is exercised dynamically for each incident. It is desirable to use a display method. For each itemized character string, for example, the image display means 13 of the monitor device 15
Of the electronic bulletin board moving leftward from the right end of the screen.

Of course, icon display is also possible in current news. This is because cases such as politics, economy, murder, traffic accidents, fires, and earthquakes, which are described with a certain fixed character string, can be written with a highly visible icon at the beginning of each bulleted character string.

This is, for example, as follows. Political news includes legal posts such as "Prime Minister", "Minister" and "Governor"; legal bodies such as "Diet", "Metropolitan Assembly", "Prefectural Assembly" and "Ministry of International Trade and Industry"; Scheduling election terms will almost certainly be identifiable. In the economic news, for example, "TSE", "London market", "NY market", "Exchange rate", "Stock price", "GNP", "Public fund", "Bankruptcy"
Most of the conventional economic / legal terms such as "bankruptcy", "harmony", "shareholders'meeting","employee","bonus","springfight" and "economic" can be identified.

For criminal / social cases, for example, "murder"
"Handgun""corpse""incident""unconsciousness""heavybody""runaway""frontalcollision""explosion""eruption""earthquake""disaster"
A high degree of discrimination can be obtained by using several conceivable keywords such as "flood". Each of these can identify hundreds of character strings alone or in combination.

In the case of such current affair news, the character string is basically displayed as it is, so the syntactic analysis means 7 cuts out a word from the character string and breaks down the reading of the corresponding word into phoneme units. A corresponding symbol is attached to each phoneme segment and output to the speech synthesis means 10.

The voice synthesizing means 10 receives the symbol from the syntax analyzing means 7 and extracts a corresponding phoneme piece from the male voice phoneme dictionary 8 or the female voice phoneme dictionary 9 and synthesizes the voice. At this time, the user selects whether to use the male voice phoneme dictionary 8 or the female voice phoneme dictionary 9 depending on the title of the current affairs news, or specifies the type of voice together with the character data from the broadcast station and transmits it.
The voice synthesizing means 10 synthesizes voice using a dictionary of the type of voice specified by the broadcasting station.

The coordinate axis / time axis command device 12 outputs the voice synthesized by the voice synthesis means 10 from the voice output means 14 at the time when the character string of current news is displayed on the image display means 13.

When converting current news for posting, what is most desired in terms of visibility is to indicate the news occurrence location by a coordinate point on a map. There are many news locations, both domestic and overseas, but these can also be processed efficiently within certain limits. In the case of domestic news, it differs depending on whether it is national news or local news. In the case of national news, it is often sufficient to indicate the location of the prefecture on the screen of the image display means 13 of the monitor device 15. Therefore, the coordinate axis / time axis command device 12 at least functions sufficiently if the area of the prefecture in the national map can be designated.

In the case of local news, the area is subdivided, but in this case, it is only necessary to be able to subdivide the entire map within a limited range. Absent. The same is true for global news. The sources of news source incidents are limited to less than a hundred places, and even if detailed maps are required, such as at the outbreak of a war, the district can be prepared with some degree of forecasting and can respond flexibly. it can.

In the case of displaying the stock price / exchange market with enhanced visibility, it is important to graphically display the numerical fluctuation.
Market news is not transient, and the change over the past period is an important issue as well as its immediate nature. Therefore, in the bulletin bulletin of the stock price exchange, it is desirable to display, as a fact, numerical data as facts of the day and, for example, fluctuation data of the past several months or weeks for a specific brand simultaneously or as a background image.

The function of displaying the fluctuation graph in this case does not become a power limitation in recent large-capacity computer systems. However, even when a low-grade system is used to reduce equipment costs, past fluctuations in market prices are recorded as values each time, and instead of graph conversion when displaying a monitor, the fluctuation graph is simply a line graph. If a method of recording as (graphics) and displaying it while updating it is adopted, it is extremely easy to immediately post data fluctuations of a huge number of companies including TSE First Section, OSE, and other over-the-counter public shares. Becomes possible. The system for grasping and posting market fluctuations as a diagram is to perform numerical processing with a separate computer device if it is difficult to process with this data broadcast display device, and
A flexible and accurate response is possible if the change graph is updated and posted every day (for example, every day or one week). Yen-dollar exchange rate fluctuations and grain price fluctuations are the same.

According to the data broadcast display device of the present invention, simple data of a series of characters is converted and displayed in an easily recognizable format, for example, icons and maps, characteristic background images, enlarged characters, easy-to-view fonts, and font colors. In particular, by appropriately designing the display position in advance, the real-time data transmitted from the broadcast / communication medium is converted almost instantaneously, and the screen of the image display means 13 of the monitor device 15 (for example, a large screen installed in a public facility) ) Can be displayed with high visibility. In addition, the automatic setting of characters can be performed immediately without the need for artificial conversion processing by the intended setting and automatic learning of frequently-used character strings, and character data is displayed with high visibility and synthesized for explanation. Since audio is also output, it is convenient for the viewer.

There are various types of character data obtained from broadcast / communication media, such as weather forecasts, current news, stock price news, and the like. For easy viewing, it is easier to process them separately. So, for example, in the weather forecast, a basic map of the forecast area and an icon for displaying the forecast content,
For current affairs news, a map (Japan map, prefectural map, world map, country map, etc.) for displaying the relevant city (municipalities) is prepared, and the news source or the place of occurrence of the incident etc. is displayed on the map . The stock price (including exchange rate / grain price etc.) displays past fluctuation data (more preferably, future fluctuation prediction based on predetermined calculation) as a graph and simultaneously outputs synthesized speech for its explanation, so that it is It is convenient.

In the conversion display, the original character data may be displayed as it is (or by summarizing the keyword portion) as necessary. For example, even for highly standardized broadcast / communication contents such as weather forecasts,
Icons have poetic content that is difficult to express (for example, "I'm having trouble sleeping until morning", "Chilly", "Sunny dazzling", etc.)
In that case, it is more appropriate to display the character data as it is. In some cases, the prices of major stocks during sudden market fluctuations should be displayed immediately as they are.
Since the specific processing determination of which part in the character data is to be displayed as it is as it involves elements that are difficult as automatic processing, it is desirable to rely on the judgment of trained monitor check staff.

Second Embodiment In the first embodiment, a voice is synthesized from character data sent for display on the image display means 13.
The broadcast station may multiplex the character string notation and the character data for explanation for explaining the notation by voice. In this case, when the data broadcast display device inputs the character data for explanation for explaining the character string notation by voice, the character data discriminating means 5 separates the character data for explanation and parses the character data.
The parsing unit 7 decomposes the character data for explanation into phoneme units, and synthesizes a voice by the voice synthesizing unit 10.

The character string data input over time is first converted into a fixed character string by the character data discriminating means 5, and further converted into a fixed icon by the data converting means 11. The coordinate axis / time axis command device 12 determines a coordinate point of the converted fixed icon in the image display means 13 area. As a result,
The template icon is displayed at the coordinate position of the specific area.

On the other hand, the coordinate axis / time axis command device 12
Is output from the voice output means 14 in synchronism with the time at which the standard icon is displayed on the image display means 13 as the synthesized speech for the fixed icon synthesized by the voice synthesis means 10.

With this configuration, the output sound is
The description of the fixed form icon is more understandable and convenient for the user.

Embodiment 3 In the case where the character data from the broadcasting station is kanji, and the character string notation and its reading are transmitted together, the data broadcast display device inputs the character string notation and its reading together. . The syntax analysis unit is configured to create a table in which the character string notation is associated with the pronunciation and register the table in the pronunciation dictionary.

In the data broadcasting display device thus configured, the same operation as in the above embodiment is performed, a character string is displayed on the image display means 13 of the monitor device 15, and the synthesized voice is output from the voice output means 14. Output. However, the syntactic analysis means creates a table in which the kanji character string notation and its reading are associated with each other before analyzing it into phoneme segments, and registers the table in the reading dictionary. If the kanji character string notation and its pronunciation have already been registered, it will be overwritten.

In the case where character data is transmitted from a broadcasting station in the case where the character data is kanji and only character string notation is used, the monitor device 1 performs the same operation as in the first embodiment with reference to the reading dictionary.
5 is displayed in a character string on the image display means 13 and the synthesized speech is output from the sound output means 14. However, since the reading dictionary is added with table contents, the target range is expanded and the applicable range of the kanji of the character data is widened. Become.

Embodiment 4 In addition to the table provided in Embodiment 1, the reading dictionary 6 also has a table of correspondence between notations in which regular notations are omitted and readings for regular notations. For example, North Korea: Chosen / Minshyugyi / Jinmin / Kyowaku (Democratic People's Republic of Korea), United States President: Amerika / Goshikoku / Daito Ryo (President of the United States). In a data broadcasting display device having such a reading dictionary 6, character data transmitted from a broadcasting station may be an abbreviation in which regular notation is omitted. If the character data transmitted from the broadcasting station is an abbreviation, the character data discriminating means 5 and the data conversion means 11 perform the processing using the abbreviation, and the abbreviation is displayed on the image display means of the monitor device.

On the other hand, in the speech synthesis process, the pronunciation conforming to the regular notation is synthesized with reference to the reading dictionary 6, and the synthesized speech of the reading conforming to the regular notation is represented by the notation time of the image display means of the monitor device. Is output from the audio output means 14 in accordance with.

In the data broadcast display device thus configured, the display on the image display means is an abbreviation, so that the display area is small and the audio output means 14 is read and output according to the regular notation. The broadcast regulations that sound must be legitimate reading will also be met. Further, since the notation character string from the broadcasting station is transmitted in an abbreviation, the amount of transmission is small.

Fifth Embodiment In the first embodiment, the character data sent to be displayed on the image display means 13 is output from the monitor device each time it is input. The time data representing the character string may be multiplexed and broadcast. When the data broadcast display device inputs the character data and the Q signal of the time for notifying the character data in advance of the notification time, the character data storage unit 3, the character data discriminating unit 5, the data converting unit 11, the voice synthesizing unit, etc. 10 starts processing,
These are stored in the memory of the coordinate axis / time axis command device 12, respectively. The coordinate axis / time axis command device 12 has a time setting means therein, and inputs the time at which the Q signal is reported to the time setting means. When the time set by the Q signal by the time setting means comes, the coordinate axis / time axis command device 12 reads the display conversion data and the synthesized voice from the memory, displays the display conversion data on the image display means of the monitor device, and outputs the voice output. Means for outputting synthesized speech.

With this configuration, if the volume of a series of news or weather forecast is large, character data can be broadcasted in advance and output by the monitor device at the time set by the Q signal. There is no time delay in display and audio output on the computer.

Embodiment 6 As shown in FIG. 2, the character data storage unit 13 has two memories 3a and 3b arranged in parallel, and the input unit and the output unit are provided with switching switches 3c and 3d, respectively. In the character data storage unit 13 configured as described above, when character data from the tuner device is stored in one memory 3a, it is read out for display processing in the other memory 3b. When the number of memories is one, the character data storage unit 13 stores all of a series of character data and sends it to the character data discriminating means 5 for display processing. In this manner, the memories 3a and 3b are provided in parallel. By providing changeover switches 3c and 3d in the input section and the output section, respectively, when half of a series of character data is stored in one of the memories 3a, the switches 3c and 3d are switched and sent to the character data discriminating means 5, and the display processing is performed. do. The other memory 3b stores character data from the tuner device 2. With this configuration, the display start time is earlier, which is convenient for the user. The synchronization between read and storage for display processing is appropriately set, and switches 3c and 3c are set.
By sequentially switching d, the memory does not need to store the entire series of character data, and the memory capacity can be reduced.

Embodiment 7 The weather forecast and current affairs news are usually broadcast after the lapse of one to two hours unless there is a sudden incident. In such a case, only the broadcast contents that have changed are output from the monitor device.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the character data discriminating means according to this embodiment. Other configurations are the same as those shown in FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 5a denotes a character string read from the character data storage unit 3 and a character pattern memory 4;
The character data fixed character string forming means for determining the match / mismatch with the fixed character string stored in the character data and identifying the fixed character string included in the character data, 5b stores the output of the character data determining means 5. The memory 5b compares the fixed character string from the character data fixed character string means 5a with the fixed character string stored in the memory 5b to determine a match / mismatch. If they match, no output is generated. This is a new and old fixed-type character string comparison unit that generates an output only when the output is performed. The memory 5b rewrites the stored fixed character string by the output of the new and old fixed character string comparing means 5c.

The character data discriminating means 5 configured as described above matches / determines whether the fixed character string stored in the character pattern memory 4 matches the character string read from the character data storage unit 3.
The non-coincidence is determined by the character data fixed character string converting means 5a, and the identified fixed character string is compared with the contents of the memory for storing the fixed character string displayed and output from the previous monitor device by the new and old fixed character string comparing means 5c. , If they are the same, the monitoring device 1
Since the image and the sound are notified in 5, the generation of the output is stopped. If they are different, an output is generated because the notification has not been made by the monitor device 15 yet. Then, the first embodiment
The same processing as described above is performed, and an image and a sound are notified from the monitor device 15. On the other hand, the memory 5b receives the output of the new and old fixed string comparison means 5c and rewrites the stored fixed string to a new fixed string.
