Abstract

PURPOSE:To output a voice by extracting a character code outputted as a voice from picture information of a received videotex data and applying voice synthesis to the character code. CONSTITUTION:A character extraction section 2 detects an identification code representing a character code to be voice synthesized from pattern information 22 with the identification code added thereto, extracts the character code 33 to be voice synthesized and sends it to a voice synthesis processing section 4, in which the voice data corresponding to the character code is stored as a data base. The voice data corresponding to the extracted character code 33 is retrieved and the retrieved voice data is converted into a voice to apply voice synthesis and the result is outputted as a voice from a voice output section 5.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a videotex terminal device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In conventional Videotex terminal devices, when outputting audio, an operation code indicating audio in screen information is followed by a PC.
It was configured to output Shi audio by arranging M audio and ADPCM audio data. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, first, "Hello" is decoded and displayed as an image.

Next, when an opcode indicating voice appears, it determines that the number of pieces of data following it are voice data, converts the voice data to voice, and outputs "Hello."

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional configuration described above, when the received videotex data includes audio, the amount becomes enormous, and it takes a long time to receive the videotex data. The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and aims to provide a videotex terminal device that can output audio together with screen information without increasing the amount of videotex data received.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve this object, the Videotex terminal device of the present invention includes means for extracting a character code from the screen information of received Videotex data, and voice synthesis according to the extracted character code. and a means for outputting the synthesized voice.

Function: With this configuration, the character code to be output as audio is extracted from the screen information of the received videotex data, and the character code is synthesized into audio to output audio. This makes it possible to output audio together with screen information without increasing the amount of received videotex data or increasing the reception time.

EXAMPLE An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a Videotex terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a line processing unit that demodulates received videotex data 11;
3 is a screen information display unit that displays the screen information 22 of the video tex data, and 4 is extracted by the character extraction unit 2. The voice synthesis processing unit performs voice synthesis processing according to the character code that has been generated, and the voice synthesis processing unit 4 is a voice output unit that outputs the voice 44 synthesized by the voice synthesis processing unit 4.

The operation of the Videotex terminal device configured as described above will be explained below.

First, the received videotex data 11 input through the communication line is demodulated in the line processing section 1, and the flag and C
After deleting the RC code and canceling 0 insertion processing, screen information 22 is extracted and sent to the character extraction section 2. The character extracting unit 2 extracts from the screen information 22 an identification code indicating the character code to be synthesized into a voice.
This identification code is detected, a character code 33 for speech synthesis is extracted, and sent to the speech synthesis processing section 4, and at the same time, the screen information 22 is sent to the screen information display section 3. The screen information display section 3 decodes and displays the screen information 22. On the other hand, the voice synthesis processing section 4 holds voice data corresponding to character codes as a database, searches for voice data corresponding to the character code 33 extracted in the character extraction section 2, and converts the searched voice data into voice data. By converting it into υ, an audio system is created, and the audio output section 6 outputs it as audio. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, if a voice synthesis identification code appears, it is determined that the number of characters that follow the voice synthesis identification code should be voice synthesized. Then, the character "Hello" is extracted and the code is sent to the speech synthesis processing section 4. The screen information is sent to the screen information display section 3, and "Hello" is decoded and displayed as an image. At the same time, the speech synthesis processing unit 4 synthesizes the extracted code into speech and outputs "Hello" as a voice. Through the above operations, audio can be output together with screen information.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides means for extracting a character code from screen information of received videotex data;
By providing a means for synthesizing voice according to the character code and a means for outputting the synthesized voice, the voice can be converted into screen information without increasing the amount of received videotex data or increasing the reception time. The purpose is to realize a Videotex terminal device that can output data at the same time, and is highly effective for users such as physically handicapped people.
