明確化する方法，項目間の関連性を表現する方法等があ
る。As described above, according to the present invention, when reading out a document along the document structure, the breaks of the structured document are clarified so that the listener can recognize the document structure and understand the contents of the document well. As a method of transmitting the document structure by sound or voice, for example, there are a method of clarifying a break of the document structure, a method of expressing a relationship between items, and the like.
【００１６】文書構造の区切りを明確にする方法： ・構造の区切りに、音響を入れる。「ピー」とか「ブ

知る。A method for clarifying the breaks in the document structure: ・ Sound is inserted in the breaks in the structure. Insert a sound such as "Pee" or "Boo" one or more times in a continuous or single shot. -Insert silence.・ Insert voice for guidance according to the degree of separation of each topic item.・ Overlay the sound signal on the background of the entire item. A background sound is superimposed on an item of a certain hierarchy, and when the item changes, the background sound is also changed, so that the change of the reading item is known.
【００１７】項目間の関連性を表現する方法： ・区切りの音響の変化であらわす。関連性の程度で音響

する。 ・無音部分を入れる。前後の関係性の程度により無音時
間を変える。 ・以上の組み合わせ。A method of expressing the relevance between items: Expressed as a change in the sound at the break. Change the length of the sound depending on the degree of relevance. For example, those with a low relationship lengthen the time. Change the number of sounds. Insert short sounds multiple times and increase the number of times when the relationship is weak.・ Change the sound interval. For example, a certain number of sounds are to be inserted, and the interval is lengthened when the relationship becomes thin.・ Change the pitch of the sound. If the front-back relationship is low, the sound will also be low.・ Insert a silent part. The silence time is changed according to the degree of the relationship between before and after. -Combination of the above.

い場合や、複数の段落がある場合に、何番目とガイドす
る。Expressing with voice for guide. Have a different sound quality than the text you are reading, and guide you when the topic changes significantly. For example, a phrase such as "the story is changed" or "the next topic" is determined for each hierarchy, and a corresponding phrase is inserted when an item in the hierarchy changes. If the item number is not numbered in a bulleted item, or if there are multiple paragraphs, guide to the number.

響信号の音程を変える。The depth of the approximate hierarchy is known by BGM or sound. For example, the pitch and speed are changed according to the depth of the hierarchy. For example, as the hierarchy becomes deeper, the speed of BGM and sound is changed. Since the BGM is the same, the reading range has not changed, but can be used when moving to detailed items. Change the pitch of the sound signal.
