Detailed Description of the Invention

[001]

[Definition of Terms] Throughout the full text including the claims, the following terms are defined.

A person is an individual or a plurality of people, a union, a group,
It means a corporation, a country, a government office, a local government. Consideration payment service shall mean any payment method for consideration. The printed matter medium means a printed matter such as a catalog of newspapers and magazines, a printed matter such as a paper box wrapping paper, a printed matter such as a ticket and a pamphlet, a storage medium such as a magneto-optical disk, and information of a storage device of a computer.

[003]

Technical Field of the Invention Printing, publishing, recording, acoustic signal processing, acoustic signal data bank, communication, payment,

[004]

The present invention is a combination of known techniques and services. The printed matter is a visually appealing medium, and the link between the printed matter and the sound information starts from a film-type record, and cassette tapes, CDs, etc. are appendices such as magazines. A service means for acoustic information such as acoustic data corresponding to the print content being printed as a search code is not embodied. Although individual techniques for constructing such audio data service means are known, in order to smoothly distribute data, an audio data data bank system that associates an uncertain large number of demands with an uncertain large number of supplies. There is currently no consideration payment system.

There is a sound data distribution system for a limited company with a limited purpose such as music distribution, but it is not a sound data distribution system for connecting an uncertain large number of supply and demand. The homepage address described in the printed matter is information transmission of a specific company, individual, group, etc., and is not a sound data distribution system that connects an uncertain large number of supply and demand.

[0096]

The hardware and software environment, such as infrastructures such as communication lines, high-performance large-capacity computers, information transmission and retrieval systems on the Internet, generalized personal computers, etc., can deliver acoustic data according to demand. I am in a situation to get it In most cases the print media has no sound. When the sound signal related to the print content can be reproduced, the following situation is created.

By converting the acoustic data into a wide area data bank,
A sound data distribution environment is created. A large amount of acoustic data is hierarchically classified to create an environment in which necessary acoustic data can be easily obtained.

The supply is also simplified, and the recorded audio data is stored in the data bank in a fixed format and quality, high quality if necessary and compressed if necessary. Banking makes it easy to add, update, and delete temporary sound data. The audio data distribution service on the service supply side is standardized, and the process of putting it on the media is simplified. By accessing the code written on the print medium, the user can listen to the acoustic signal that is the supplementary information of the print content.

Generally, when a print medium can express sound, a comprehensive expression method changes in various forms. The emotional expression adds richness to the image of the printed content.
You can use voice messages to convey the most important parts, such as when you need to convey the content accurately. Even when conveying a real atmosphere, you can express the realism by recording the sound of the place. There is information that is more convenient and efficient to transmit by hearing rather than visually. By transmitting information both visually and auditorily, it is possible to broaden the range of related knowledge obtained from it, deepen understanding, secure memory, and broaden imagination. .

As described above, when a variety of expression means are produced, the content expression of the publication is devised, and not only the circulation of the publication but also the distribution service of the acoustic data, the production of the acoustic data, the terminal hardware, Information supply systems, which have never existed before, such as new usage of telephones and computers and application software, will create new demand and supply.

Taking a picture book of a child as an example, a code written near the picture can be accessed to the acoustic data bank via some hardware to listen to the background sound, message, and narration of the picture. . You can listen to them as well, instead of selecting one type. Background music can also inflate the scene. Characters such as people and animals in picture books can express not only pictures and explanations but also characteristics of sound quality, and an expression method that has not been possible until now is born.

Taking a learning book as an example, by inserting audio explanations at required points, information not only from the eyes but also from the ears is overlapped, and understanding and memory are deepened. When information from the eyes and ears are related to each other in the knowledge, the knowledge expands, which promotes absorption and understanding of new knowledge and enriches the expressive power. Further, the sensitivity of information is characteristic for each individual, and there are individuals who are highly sensitive to sight and some who are highly sensitive to hearing. By expanding the range of information expression, we will be conscious of the difference in sensitivity depending on individuality and add ingenuity to information expression.

Taking a newspaper as an example, by adding the message of the introduced person, the scenery of the sound of the festival or event, the sound added to the coverage photo of the scene, the voice message or music put up in the advertisement, not only the type and the photo spread You can express information with a feeling. It will be possible to supplement the voice message of news and commentary articles, and provide a service welcomed by the elderly who prefer to listen by voice rather than reading type.
Moreover, it is also possible to provide a plurality of sub-descriptions by audio signals for each age group.

Taking a magazine as an example, it is possible to express the contents of the magazine with a sense of expansiveness by adding a message of the introduced person, a background music of the landscape, a landscape of sounds, and lines of a comic.
With regard to advertising, which is an important source of income for magazine companies, various ways of expression can be provided, so new competition is created on the information supply side and the market can be expected to be activated.

Taking a natural science book as an example, it is possible to accurately represent information that is difficult to convey in print such as animal crying and natural noises. In the understanding of natural science, actual experiments and experiences deepen the understanding of the essence of phenomena. Understanding the essence is extremely important for application, and by adding sounds and messages to expressions consisting of words, diagrams, and pictures, it is possible to create new ideas of expression in how to convey the content.

Taking the pamphlets and tickets for travel, amusement parks, and event venues as examples, by accessing the described acoustic data bank with a mobile phone, etc., without putting a lot of information in a small space for printed matter. , You can convey necessary information by pinpoint message. Moreover, the contents of the data bank are different from those of printing, and can be updated at the right time, so we also responded to daily changes in time, such as supplementary explanations of events, daily messages, and ever-changing venue information. It is possible to convey a message, a new function is added to the work of guiding the venue, and a more convenient information environment can be provided to consumers.

Catalogs of music, TV game software, etc. are arranged closely in a small space. Acoustic information is the best way to directly convey the image of the content.

Taking a paper box of medicine as an example, cautionary notes are often written tightly in a small space. Voice messages can briefly explain important points. Also, for people who cannot read the language such as foreigners, accurate information can be obtained by accessing the acoustic data bank.

[0119]

[Means for Solving the Problems] Utilizing existing physical systems such as an acoustic data bank managed by a unified standard, an infrastructure communication line, an input / output device by a personal computer, a telephone or a dedicated terminal, and a fee settlement system. In addition, a system that can reproduce the audio signal from the code written on the print medium by using the mechanism of the existing business industry such as the printing and publishing industry, the newspaper company, the audiovisual software production industry, and the advertising agency. To construct. As for payment of consideration, since distribution is based on data communication, it is carried out instantly by machine processing, wide area,
It is also suitable for dealing with complicated royalties.
