DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail based on embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing a video system (hereinafter, referred to as a “video system”) 1 for a reminiscence method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in this figure, the video system 1 of the present embodiment includes a storage unit 2, a reproduction unit 3, a display unit 4, and a sound output unit 5.

[0008] The storage means 2 stores all past materials (hereinafter, referred to as "visual materials" in the present specification) that can be visually grasped, such as photographs, paintings, articles such as newspapers and magazines, and films such as photographs and videos. ) Is a medium for storing what is converted into a digital signal into video information. As the storage means 2, any one of a magnetic disk such as a computer hard disk and an optical disk such as a compact disk can be used. versat
ile disc). Due to the characteristics of the DVD, the information to be reproduced can be freely and immediately extracted, and the editing of digital signalized video information can be performed more quickly and easily. Various kinds of video information are stored in the DVD serving as the storage unit 2 categorized by, for example, news, culture, entertainment, sports, and the like. It is needless to say that various kinds of video information may be classified by age and / or area, and then stored by classifying according to the content. In addition, visual materials are in the past, and there are many that have damage, etc., but by converting them into digital signals, restoration can be made relatively easily and it can be revived as clear video information .

The storage means 2 also stores sound information composed of sound or BGM combined with the video information. For sound or BGM as sound information, if the sound or the like is recorded together with the video from the beginning, such as video information based on a visual material consisting of a film such as a movie or news video, the sound or the like is used as it is. It is also possible to re-insert the voice or the like, or to insert it in a superimposed manner. On the other hand, in the case of video only, such as video information based on visual materials such as photographs and paintings, new sound information is inserted and stored in combination with the video information.

The sound information stored in the storage means 2 is:
It is preferable to store a plurality of video information items for each channel. For example, as shown in FIG.
In contrast to video information A based on visual data of a film of a rural landscape in the 0's, channel a stores BGM composed of music such as popular songs and the like as sound information B1 in channel a, and channel b. Stores the sound introducing the state of living in the village as sound information B2, and stores the sound information B1 in the BGM constituting the sound information B1 in channel c.
The sound information B is obtained by superimposing the data constituting the sound constituting
3 is stored. In this manner, the plurality of sound information B1 to B3 are stored in the storage means 2 for each of the channels a to c, so that the reproduction means 3 described below appropriately selects a channel relating to the sound information, thereby enabling the target for the elderly or the like. A person (hereinafter, referred to as a “subject”) can be caused to view a video and a sound that have different impressions even with the same video.

The reproducing means 3 is not limited as long as it can selectively reproduce the video information stored in the storage means 2 by type. For example, a DVD player, a CD player, a magnetic disk , Or a personal computer or the like equipped with these. In the present embodiment, as the reproducing means 3,
When editing video information stored on a DVD serving as the storage means 2, application software (program) for editing and reproducing video information, which is provided with a DVD drive and operates on a predetermined OS, is installed. Personal computer is used. When viewing video information or the like stored in the storage unit 2 via the display unit 4 described later, a personal computer or a DVD player is used.

The application software installed on the personal computer as the reproducing means 3 can read and write digital information on the DVD as the storage means 2 and can process and edit the digital information. If it is a thing, it will not be limited and what is marketed can be used.

It is preferable that a program which can be set to intermittently stop the reproduction of the video information at an arbitrary timing is installed in the personal computer as the reproducing means 3. For example, when the reproduction means 3 reproduces the video information A, B, and C stored in the storage means 2, the program executes the program for a predetermined time every time the video information switches from A to B and from B to C. It is programmed to stop the reproduction, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, start the reproduction again. By intermittently stopping the playback of the video information by the playback means 3 according to the program, the stop time is set to the subject, a psychiatrist, a nurse, a caregiver, and the like (hereinafter, referred to as a “caregiver, etc.”). Can be produced naturally as a conversation opportunity. At this opportunity, by watching the video and talking about recollections, the mind of the subject can be healed and psychological stability can be achieved. Also, the caregiver and the like can know the reaction of the target person through conversation.

The display means 4 is a device for displaying the video information reproduced by the reproduction means 3 so that it can be visually recognized. The display means 4 includes a display device such as a monitor or a television provided in a personal computer, and a liquid crystal projector. And those projected on a screen can be used.

The sound output device 5 is a device for outputting the sound information stored in the storage means 2. For example, a sound output device provided in a personal computer, a television, or the like can be used.

The video system 1 configured as described above
Is installed and used in a facility that implements a reminiscence method, such as a health and welfare facility for the elderly. The viewing target may be one or more. Then, under the guidance of a caregiver or the like according to the program of the reminiscence method, the DVD constituting the storage means 2 is
A personal computer or D constituting the reproducing means 3
Set in the DVD drive of the VD player,
The reproduction of the video information stored in D is started. The video information to be reproduced and the sound information stored in the storage means 2 together with the video information are displayed and output by the display means 4 and the sound output means 5 connected to the reproduction means 3.

In this embodiment, first, a menu image in which various kinds of video information stored in the storage unit 2 are listed up by type is displayed on the display unit 4. And, the target person, "news" displayed in the menu image
From the menus such as "Culture", "Entertainment" and "Sports", select the one that interests you. The storage unit 2 stores video information corresponding to the menu by type and is constituted by a DVD, so that the video information corresponding to the selected menu can be immediately reproduced.
In addition, sound information composed of audio or BGM combined with video information is output from the sound output unit 5,
The recollection of the target person can be further promoted as compared with the case of only the image. In addition, since the storage unit 2 stores a plurality of sound information for one video information for each channel, by selecting a channel, an optimal combination of video and sound to encourage recollection is selected. It is also possible to provide to the person. Further, since the playback means 3 is set to intermittently stop the playback of the video information, for example, for each piece of video information, it is possible to create an opportunity for a conversation between the target person and the caregiver, Through such a conversation, the psychological stability of the subject can be further improved.
