DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention has a purpose of learning a foreign language or supporting the learning of a foreign language, and has a program for an information medium capable of processing voice and image in a unified and simultaneous manner. Or, it relates to the expression form of a program. The information medium capable of processing audio and images in a unified and simultaneous manner is a video / audio storage medium using an electromagnetic optical device such as a television, a movie, a video, and a laser disk (registered trademark).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it has been natural for a creator of a program to learn English and other foreign language learning materials and programs using a relatively limited number of practice sentences picked up or selected. Was. It can be said that it was a method of practicing the limited conversation style and conversation structure in a lesser manner. For example, in a language learning program conducted on TV programs,
The example sentences to be learned in advance are selected in a limited form, a skit using the example sentences is presented, and then the instructor reads out the written sentences of the example sentences on the screen, and conducts hearing and speaking practice It was something like And the language used as the basis of the program is to be conducted in the learner's native language, and in most cases, a limited number of example sentences selected by the creator based on the learner's native language commentary It was a method of using. It was decided,
It can be said that it was a static learning method that was formal and rather procedural. While these methods are effective for beginners, they will, after completing their elementary practice, acquire enough foreign language skills to actually be used as communication tools. Had some difficulties. In general, going to a classroom or school that teaches a foreign language for the purpose of learning a language is often limited in terms of time and expense, and it is difficult to go to other countries such as studying abroad. There were many. Therefore, it has been extremely difficult to obtain an environment where students can learn English and other foreign languages that can withstand practical use on a daily basis. The present invention is different from the conventional type in that the object of the present invention is to solve such a situation and to obtain a language learning support method or program that contributes to dynamic and dynamic language learning.

[0003] Here, it is described in advance that matters related to the means employed by the present invention are different from the objects of the present invention as existing matters.

The present invention relates to a program for the purpose or support of learning a foreign language such as English using a medium capable of simultaneously and unifiedly processing voice and image, and a method, method and means for constructing the program. However, as the means and method, subtitles, telops, and character information that are called are displayed on a video screen.

[0005] Here, a medium capable of simultaneously and unifiedly processing voice, image, and moving image is that the image and moving image are displayed on a screen and a monitor. It is referred to as a video screen collectively even when pointing to.

The present invention is characterized in that the subtitles are displayed on the video screen and displayed on the video screen one after another simultaneously and sequentially with the audio language such as conversation. Here, let us consider in advance the conventional purpose of displaying captions and telops on a video screen.

In the present specification, character information appearing on a video screen, such as a telop, a caption, and a superimposed text, will be collectively referred to as a caption.

Conventionally, subtitles related to audio are displayed continuously,
In the case of TV programs, etc., when the singer is singing in a song program, the lyrics are displayed to the viewer in order to show the lyrics of the song being sung to the viewer. It has been used in situations where conversation is difficult to hear or when it is desired to emphasize and show. Further, when the speaking or conversation is in a foreign language to the main audience, the speech or conversation is used to indicate a sentence translated into a language understood by the audience, that is, the native language of the audience.

However, the present invention is different from these in terms of the purpose or the character language to be expressed. that is,
It will be understood and understood from the entire description of the present invention.

[0010] Further, as what has recently been developed, there is a so-called teletext, in which sound spoken in a program is simultaneously transcribed on a video screen for a hearing-impaired person in a television program. Although the system according to the present invention has a part similar in format to such a teletext, it has a different purpose, and while having a similar part, as described later,
By providing the components that are added to the program, a program and a method of configuring the program that can contribute to effective language acquisition are obtained.

In view of the above, the conventional methods of displaying subtitles on a video screen include the objectives to be considered, the real and direct effectiveness in learning words, and the fact that the subtitles are actually displayed from the elementary level of the learner. The program according to the present invention is different from the existing language learning program in that it provides a program that can be easily self-taught so that it can communicate more fully with native speakers. It can be said that it is typical.

However, the present inventor has recognized that there has been no idea for using language-based subtitles obtained by converting a spoken language into a character, which is a feature of the present invention. However, the NHK TV English learning program, which happened to happen when the detailed description related to the present invention was almost completed, showed the conversation on an image of the video scene of the skit in an example sentence conversation made in a short skit. I noticed that subtitles were transcribed. A technique that has not been seen in the past, and that expresses subtitles in which the conversation of the NHK English conversation program is transcribed,
This is an epoch-making example in that the content of the conversation is immediately provided in a visible form to those who do not speak the native language. The present inventor came up with the idea of using subtitles obtained by converting the spoken language spoken in the early stage of 2000 into language learning,
However, simply displaying subtitles of the conversation on the video screen cannot grasp the content of the learner's native language. Would have to deal with it. In other words, it can be said that the only way to deal with short scenes and separately provide commentary on the scenes is to help the learner understand the conversation content. Also, dealing with situations where conversations evolve over a relatively long period of time is not unreasonable. The present invention, in order to make the spoken language spoken and spoken on the video screen sufficiently and more conveniently as a learning target, while displaying subtitles in which the conversation is transcribed on the video screen,
The language in which the learner is the native language, that is, the language used in the conversation, is to provide a conversation content grasping means in another language simultaneously and simultaneously with the conversation.

[0013] Conventionally, when viewing a foreign film with video software, if the language used is not understood by the viewer in another language, the caption translated into the viewer's native language is put on the video screen without changing the sound. There are two ways to enjoy the spoken language spoken or spoken, which is completely spoken into the language of the viewer's native language and dubbed.

[0014] Which method is to be enjoyed depends on the personal preference of the viewer, and there has been a situation in which both popular softwares and the like are sold.

By the way, recently, in Japan, two types of viewing methods can be selected according to the taste of a viewer by taking advantage of the characteristics of a so-called audio multiplexing and stereo type television transmission method which can handle two types of sound. As described above, a method of simultaneously transmitting a movie with subtitles and a movie with dubbing has come out. In this method, a subtitle broadcast is transmitted on a video screen, audio is delivered in one of two ways as it is in a language as originally produced, and audio dubbed with one audio is delivered.

[0016] However, these do not fall within the conventional stance of enjoying a foreign film in the native language of the viewer, for example, in Japan, all in Japan, that is, relying on the native language of the viewer. In other words, it can be said that the spoken and spoken language itself does not have a positive meaning in understanding the spoken language itself as a language. .

Further, the above-mentioned television transmission is intended for the convenience of selecting one of the conventional two methods for enjoying a foreign film in accordance with the preference of the viewer. Trying to learn a foreign language itself as audio is different from the purpose, and is a different language of the main subtitles to be displayed on the video screen.

In other words, Japanese-language subtitles are put on the video image on the video screen, and the original audio is applied to one of the audios using the audio multiplexing method, and the other audio is written in Japanese. Applying the dubbed sound has no meaning beyond the choice of whether to enjoy the conventional Western movie with translated subtitles or Japanese dubbed sound at home according to the viewer's preference. Therefore, it will not be more effective in learning words than conventional Western movie appreciation using translated subtitles or Japanese dubbed audio.

The present invention is directed to film, television programs and video works in native languages,
Learning and learning the spoken language itself, and using TV programs and video works to actively and actively acquire the language while providing subtitles in the same language that shows the spoken language as faithfully as possible It is.

[0020]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-mentioned section of the prior art relating to the present invention, the purpose and the subject of the present invention have been described in comparison with the problems of the prior art. Write again while changing the expression.

The present invention unifies audio and images, especially moving images,
The aim is to use a movie-like information medium with sound that can be processed simultaneously, to obtain effective teaching materials for foreign language learning, or programs or program formats that have the intention to support foreign language learning effectively. .

In recent years, personal computers have spread to homes, and with the rapid development of the Internet, various meanings, globalization in various fields, and borderless information have been rapidly advancing. Against this background, the importance of English, which is virtually the world lingua franca, has become increasingly important, and even non-native speakers, such as Japanese, have acquired practical English proficiency. Is becoming an urgent task. Therefore, in view of such circumstances, the present invention has an important or central task to provide effective support for learning practical English especially for people who do not speak English as a native language, such as Japanese.

It is another object of the present invention to obtain a real, vivid and dynamic foreign language learning or learning program which can be easily obtained and inexpensive.

In addition, instead of learning a foreign language such as English, which has been well-selected in a textbook, which is well-behaved in the past, it is not intended to provide learners with conversations for those who have difficulty understanding conversations. It does not use talking and conversations that are consciously speaking and specifically designed for language learning. Simultaneously understand the grammar and sense of language use while observing the situation of speaking and conversation, and obtain a language learning support method or program that has the form of input and stocking in the mind. Aim to

[0025]

In short, the means for solving the problem is a medium capable of processing video and audio in a unified and simultaneous manner,
For example, in a program or software on a medium such as a television, a movie, and a video, a spoken language spoken and spoken while using a spoken language as a spoken language continuously spoken in a certain language for learning and learning purposes. Simultaneously with the flow of the spoken language, the subtitles, which are spoken in the same language as the spoken language and simultaneously represent the spoken spoken language as accurately as possible in response to the development It is characterized by adopting a method of displaying on a video screen sequentially, and for viewers and learners who do not speak the language spoken as their audio language and their native language, grasp the content of the conversation and conversation. A method that employs a learner's guide in the native language of the learner, and a method that employs such a method. Levi, movies, take simultaneous unified structure, such as programs and software or more by the medium that can process audio and video, such as video audio information transmitting and receiving form.

The subtitles for describing the spoken language, such as talking and conversation, have a certain degree of cohesion, and are provided over the whole or almost the entire area of the spoken and developed speech and conversation. .

As will be described later in the section of "Embodiments of the invention", there are some cases where it is considered better not to use the above-mentioned guide means. It will be described later.

[0028]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with respect to what has been described in the section "Means for Solving the Problems".

Before that, however, the following points should be noted. Regarding the method of displaying subtitles on the video screen, depending on media such as television broadcasting, when configuring the program and format related to the present invention, character information is digitized by a computer and transmitted, and the digitized character signal is transmitted. A method is also included in which the receiving side converts the text into a character again by the decoder and displays it as caption on the video screen.

It is also conceivable that a subtitle display location is partitioned on a video screen, a frame is set at a specific location, and the caption is displayed in the frame.

Although the present invention is mainly intended to support language learning, it is particularly important to assist people such as Japanese who do not speak English as a native language, so that the above means In particular, consider the language spoken and spoken in English for movies, television programs and video works.

Therefore, the foreign language in the present invention,
The language to be studied may be another language of English, but English is the first language, and the language of the native language will vary depending on the nationality of the people and the region. The mother's native language is initially imagined as Japanese.

What is considered as a native language may of course be a language other than Japanese.

Naturally, the language to be learned may be Chinese, Japanese, or the like. However, in that case, if the language of study is Chinese or Japanese, even if the captions are not written in those languages, the learners can use the pronunciation in Roman alphabets because it is more useful for learning the conversation language, so Chinese, In the case of Japanese movies, television programs, and video works, consideration may be given to using Roman notation as an alternative subtitle for characters in the same language in that language.

A method of using Roman characters as a language indicating pronunciation in learning Chinese or Japanese has been conventionally known. Therefore, in the case of displaying subtitles in the same language in movies and video works originally produced in Chinese, Japanese, etc., it is considered that the case of romanization is the same as subtitles in the same language. is there.

Now, the description of the solution means will be described in more detail. First, as described above, the present invention uses a medium that can process video and audio uniformly and simultaneously.

The present invention relates to a medium capable of continuously moving images, that is, a so-called movie format, that is, a medium capable of handling moving images.

For example, the present invention relates to a television, a movie, a video, etc., and also to a medium capable of recording / reproducing or transmitting / receiving a moving image.

At present, a medium capable of simultaneously and simultaneously handling audio and video functioning on a personal computer has been advanced. It is of course possible to use such a medium.

However, at present, the use of a conventional television system and a video system based on the so-called VHS system operating on the television system is widely and widely used, so it may be easy to obtain, cheap and simple. unknown.

The point is that it is a medium that can handle audio and video in a unified and simultaneous manner and is spoken in a certain language, and the spoken language is expressed in the same language as the spoken language, and the speech is expressed as accurately as possible. The subtitles are spoken and appear one after the other on the video screen simultaneously with the development of the story, and the learner of the language recognizes the chatter and conversation on the video screen simultaneously with the voice as text The main feature is to help you understand.

[0042] With this, the learner can understand the contents spoken by a native speaker who has difficulty in grasping due to lack of hearing ability and lack of linguistic knowledge, at that time, in a textual manner, and Can practice hearing. In addition, since the background of the chat, conversation, etc. received from the video can be simultaneously grasped realistically, it can greatly contribute to language learning.

In addition, as will be sequentially described, by using the guide means for the learner, the learner can speak in a learning target language and understand the contents of the story in the learner's native language. You will have the means to speak and learn in a more realistic way, and you will be able to comprehend at the same time as the story.

The description of the guide means will be given later, and first, subtitles will be described.

As described above, the subtitles are made to flow on the video screen simultaneously in the same language as the spoken language, corresponding to the talking, the progress of the talk, and the development. The aspect is similar to the subtitle broadcast screen for difficult viewers.

In the case where the talking and the story develop continuously and speedily, it may be easy to recognize if a method of scrolling the subtitles and adopting it is adopted.

The subtitles do not represent a part of the talk or the story, but rather represent the entire flow of the program in the aforementioned medium.

For example, in a movie, television program, video work, etc. produced by being spoken and spoken in English, the language spoken and spoken in the work should be expressed as much as possible. It is a method of expressing the English subtitles on the video screen at the same time according to the speaking, the progress of the talk, and the development in an accurate manner.

The method of the guide means in the learner's native language will be described.

In a medium such as a television broadcast or a video, a method is generally known in which sound can be recorded and reproduced in two ways. This is a so-called audio multiplexing and stereo system. In particular, when a foreign movie is transmitted by a television system, a method of transmitting a so-called bilingual language in which a dubbed voice is applied to one voice path is generally known. When practicing the present invention using such audio multiplexing and stereo systems, one audio path is applied to the audio language used at the time of production of the work based on the other audio path. A possible method is to apply spoken and spoken language content to a dubbed voice translated into the learner's native language. This is an application of the so-called bilingual speech format. However, the subtitles displayed on the video screen are obtained by expressing the audio language in the same language as the audio language. Figure 1 shows an image of this format.
Will be shown below.

In other words, taking a program in English as an example, English subtitles are displayed on the video screen of the work being spoken and spoken in English, and one voice is spoken and spoken in the original English as it is. The other voice is spoken in English and the other voice is translated into the learner's native language, such as Japanese, Chinese, or Korean.

By doing so, it is possible to learn once using only the foreign language and the foreign language subtitles, and then confirm the content using the language dubbed voice translated in the native language. Alternatively, the content may be grasped in advance by the voice dubbed into the native language first, and the learning may be performed by the foreign language voice as it is. In the latter case, the learner speaks in the native language of the learner, and the subtitle of the target language can confirm how the spoken content is expressed in that foreign language. It will also help you learn how to translate a foreign language.

[0053] Alternatively, another guide means may be used. On the video screen, the user speaks, speaks and develops the speech simultaneously, speaks the speech as faithfully as possible, and uses the same speech language as the spoken language. In addition to displaying subtitles that are expressed more faithfully in the language, there is also a method that the learners speak in their native language, and subtitles that translate the content of the story are similarly displayed one after another on the video screen. .

That is, subtitles in the spoken language and subtitles in another language are provided on the same screen image. In other words, this bilingual subtitle system is characterized in that subtitles in which the audio language is transcribed in the same language as the audio language and translation subtitles of the audio language in other languages are provided on the same video screen. I can say that.

FIG. 2 shows an image of this type.

According to the present inventor, in this format, that is, in the same language as the spoken and spoken language, subtitles that faithfully represent the spoken and spoken language correspond to the spoken language simultaneously and sequentially. In addition to displaying on the video screen,
The most recommended format is one in which the subtitles obtained by speaking and translating the contents of the conversation in a different language are displayed on a video screen simultaneously and sequentially one after another corresponding to the audio language. Because it is difficult for the learner to understand the spoken and spoken language of the target language that is difficult for the learner to understand, and to grasp the same content in the native language of the learner. This is because it has a characteristic that it can be obtained in a direct and vivid form, which is preferable in terms of learning efficiency.

Further, in the case of subtitles in which the conversation is transcribed in the language, as in the described NHK English conversation television program, the learner cannot grasp the conversation contents in the native language simultaneously with the conversation. However, in order to learn words effectively, a separate commentary must be provided, and it will be able to handle only relatively short conversation situations. In contrast to this, according to this form of the present invention, since the content of the conversation can be grasped particularly simultaneously with the conversation, it is possible to speak continuously for a long time, even if the conversation develops, without difficulty. It can be effectively used as a learning material.

In this case, it is needless to say that both the subtitle of the foreign language to be studied and the subtitle of the native language translation may be displayed by scrolling. If they are displayed and deleted in a lump, it may be easier for viewers who are learners to recognize them.

Also, the language to be learned and the native language of the learner may be mixed and displayed as subtitles.

That is, subtitles in which a guide notation in the native language of the learner is mixed and inserted between words, idioms, and phrases in the language for learning purposes are also conceivable. Also, it is conceivable to present subtitles in which ruby in the learner's native language is attached to words in the foreign language subtitle to be learned.

Alternatively, as another guiding means, unlike the above two guiding means, this can be a method that can be repeatedly imprinted on the learner's head and can take a memory-intensive method. However, consider a method in which scenes of a movie, a television program, and a video work using the above-described medium are advanced while being repeatedly fragmented.

This means that the following 2
Different methods are conceivable. It is similar in the form of advancing a set of movies, television programs, video works, etc. with completeness in content without repeating the same scene in a piecemeal manner, but there is a difference in the guide means. There is.

The flow of the video is divided into appropriate groups of talking and talking, and the same scenes in terms of the video, the part where the voice in the original language of the production was allocated as the voice for each scene, and the learner A movie, television program, or video work that progresses in a way that is linked to the part that plays the audio that has been translated and dubbed into the mother tongue. In this case, it goes without saying that subtitles in the language are always displayed on the video in the language in which the sound is unchanged. An image of this format is shown in FIG.

Alternatively, the flow of the video is divided into appropriate groups of talking and talking, and the video is the same scene, talking to the scene, and the part of providing subtitles in the original language of the talking; There is a method and style in which a movie, television program, or video work progresses while repeating the same scene in such a way that the subtitles translated into the native language are connected. An image of this format is shown in FIG.

However, in this case, a subtitle translated in the native language of the learner may be displayed together with the subtitle in the original language on the video screen on which the subtitle is translated.

In addition, materials to be recorded or produced using a medium capable of processing audio and video in a unified and simultaneous manner will be described.

Although it is naturally possible to use a program such as a movie or a drama as the material, it can be said that it is effective to use the following contents as the material.

Except that the material is limited to works created by the maker relatively in the content of talking and conversation, such as movies and dramas, it is a variety program in television programs.
When a program of the style categorized as a news program, music program, or sports program is used, the content of the statement is diversified, the topic of today is frequently used as the content of the statement, and the live element is recorded in a strong form. It is a great benefit for language learning because you can get an environment where you can lively know how the language you are learning is actually used in the form of expression that native speakers get on a daily basis It will be a good language learning support.

Further, when a documentary touch program is used as a material, it is possible to touch the scene description in the language to be learned in one narrative recorded content of what actually happened, and to have a deep knowledge in language learning. And get useful.

Further, when an educational program in the form of an educational course or a hobby course is used as a material, the user can get used to expressing and explaining things in the language to be learned and can learn the language in a way that the learner likes.

In addition to the above, as a material for producing a language learning support program according to the present invention which handles audio and video, a kindergarten of a person having a common language as a learning target language, a class at a school such as a university, or a school-related program may be used. It would be useful to use a live recording of this extracurricular activity.
By using this configuration, you can get used to explaining things in the language to be learned and become familiar with logical expressions, and the learner can express and explain relatively advanced contents in the language to be learned. You can gain the prerequisite technology and knowledge to produce logical sentences such as papers.

By using a video and audio configuration in which classrooms and extracurricular activities related to schools are recorded live, it is possible to deeply learn how to use the language to be studied, and at the same time to pay a large amount of money. Without spending time studying abroad, you will be able to learn real and vivid foreign languages at home without much cost while staying at home.

In the case of using a configuration in which video and audio recording live lessons and extracurricular activities at the school site are used, an exception relating to the present invention described at the end of the section of “means for solving the problem” is used. In some cases, it may be better not to use the guide in the native language of the learner. This is because the people who use these live school classes and extracurricular activities for learning will be limited to students and educators, and will be considered as targets when using this configuration. It is these people. Therefore, they would be more knowledgeable about the spoken language used, and would be expected to have relatively smooth progress. Therefore, in the case of using a configuration that uses video and audio that is a live recording of lessons and school-related extracurricular activities at the school site, subtitles that accurately transcribe the spoken audio language correspond to the audio language. This is because it is conceivable that there may be a case where it is better to simply display on the video screen simultaneously and sequentially. That is, only in this case, it is desired to consider a format in which subtitles in which the spoken language spoken accurately is transcribed accurately are displayed on the video screen simultaneously and sequentially in correspondence with the spoken language.

[0074]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The contents of the embodiments of the present invention have been described in the section of "Embodiments of the Invention".

A subtitle in which the audio language is transcribed as accurately as possible on the video in the same language as the audio language on a medium that can handle video and audio in a unified and simultaneous manner is displayed on the video screen simultaneously and sequentially with the audio. Along with the subtitles, the subtitles obtained by translating the content of the audio language into a language different from the audio language, such as a native language that can be understood by the viewer as a learner, will be displayed simultaneously and sequentially with the audio. The video / audio program according to the method is distributed on a television transmission system, or alternatively, English learning support software is obtained as recorded on a video tape of a video system such as a VHS format.

In another embodiment, when the present invention is implemented in a video / audio storage medium using a so-called audio multiplex or stereo type which can handle audio simultaneously in two different paths, Simultaneously with the audio language at the time of the production of the recorded content handled by the same medium, while displaying the subtitles sequentially describing the audio language,
For audio, the original production audio is handled in one audio path, and the dubbed audio translated into the viewer's native language is handled in the other audio path. An audio / video recording medium recorded by a method of transmitting using an audio / video transmission / reception medium, or a system such as a video tape which can handle audio and video in a unified manner.

[0077]

As described above, there are some points which have already been described as the effects of the present invention. The present inventor, in learning a foreign language,
As much as possible, the spoken language spoken and the visual understanding of the corresponding situation are linked, and both spoken languages are simultaneously and instantaneously remembered, repeating such an experience Emphasizes the concept that language skills that can withstand actual communication can be acquired effectively. Therefore, aside from the method of gaining language skills while actually contacting native speakers, the present invention seems to have such a conceptual effect much more than the conventional language learning method using language teaching materials. It is. Processing and producing various software, such as movies and video works, using the method and format according to the present invention, frees you from the traditionally less interesting language learning, and the fields and contents where the learner has interests and preferences Can be used for language learning in a direct form. In addition, from the diverse and wide range of expressions used by native speakers instead of the example sentences for learning, which were limited by the learning program creator as in the past, it is possible to learn the language immediately and independently when you like at home . In particular, when the language of study is English, people whose native language is English express various meanings by combining basic verbs with prepositions or adverbs. Such a verb expression method by combining a basic verb with a preposition and an adverb is called phrasa.
It is called l verb. It is said that Japanese tend to use hard language more than English because of the influence of school English. In addition, the inability of such native speakers to become accustomed to the diverse fraisal verbs is another factor that makes English less practical. This may be more or less true for non-English speakers, even if they are not Japanese. Therefore, the method according to the present invention can recognize the actual English expressions including the phrasal verbs of English-speaking people, and thus greatly support English learning for Japanese and non-English-speaking people. It can be said that it can be obtained. In addition, it is possible to have a language learning environment similar to that at home at low cost without having to spend a lot of money and time going to study abroad or language classes. The learning effect is enhanced by the learner himself having a lot of positions as an observer while grasping the content of the language to be learned by the guide means in his native language. Repeated learning by the method according to the present invention is effective for learning a foreign language that is flexible and practical.

Further, according to the means using a transmission / reception system by television or a video tape by the VHS system, it is very good because more people can enjoy high-quality language learning support means easily, inexpensively.

In addition, since the guide means for grasping the contents of the learner's native language is provided particularly simultaneously with the conversation, it is possible to effectively use the video / audio material for a relatively long time for learning.
