The subtitle screen of is also displayed.

According to the present invention, an appropriate insertion of a line feed / break point in a subtitle sentence is adjusted so as to make the subtitle sentence more readable for a user of the subtitle broadcast, thereby supporting the editing of the display unit subtitle sentence. Is possible.

[0004]

2. Description of the Related Art The present inventors have proposed "automatic summarization", "automatic synchronization", and "automatic synchronization" as a technique for producing a subtitle program offline for a documentary program mainly composed of news and narration when an electronic manuscript exists. We conducted research on the theme of "automatic screen creation technology" and constructed an "automatic subtitle production system" that aggregates the results of research so far. A patent application has already been filed for these points (for example, JP 20
00-270263, JP-A-2000-324395.
etc).

As a result of evaluation of this automatic subtitle production system by a subtitle creator, a hearing impaired person, etc., it was confirmed that the automatic subtitle production system has certain performance and functions, but many problems still remain for practical use. ing.

[0006] What is particularly demanded is the expansion of the target program range, and the expansion into the program field such as programs without electronic manuscripts, dramas and varieties. However, the TV program field in which subtitles can be created is quite limited from the viewpoint of the functions and performance of the current automatic subtitle production system, and there is a limit as to the automatic function. I have no choice but to cover it in the range of production, previews, and modifications.

[0007] In the actual subtitle production site, many professionals with advanced technical skills and knowledge are involved, and in many cases, subtitle production depends on such human ability.

On the other hand, under the situation where rapid expansion of subtitle programs is demanded, it is not enough for the subtitle production operator to rely only on such an expert, and it is enough for the non-expert word processor to do the work. It is desirable that even a person can share a part of the work.

[0009]

However, in order to solve the problem, not only the subtitle production system that is premised on automatic processing but also the creation of electronic text for subtitles including manual work and the preview / editing of subtitle screens are performed. It is necessary to consider the program production efficiency as a total system including the work of.

In particular, it is important that the recipient of a television program broadcast with subtitles can read and understand the subtitles easily. Therefore, in creating subtitle program data in subtitle program production, it is necessary to perform appropriate subtitle text, and appropriate line breaks and page breaks.

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention makes it easy to judge the suitability of correction of a subtitle screen and the influence on other subtitle screens by parallel display of three subtitle screens when manually performing a line feed / page break. It is an object of the present invention to provide a subtitle program editing support system and a semi-automatic subtitle program production system that enable appropriate and prompt manual subtitle screen editing.

[0012]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, in claim 1, supports subtitle program editing for modifying a created subtitle program data to create a final subtitle program. In the system, when performing line breaks and page breaks in the subtitle screen editing work, the subtitle screen after the modification of the subtitle screen is displayed, and the modified subtitle screen before and after the modification is displayed in parallel. It is characterized by having means.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, a subtitle text transcribing section for transcribing text for subtitles for speech and additional information data such as background sound based on video, audio and time code of a television material program is provided. An automatic subtitle program data production section that creates subtitle screen data by creating subtitle screens and timings based on the subtitle text, and a subtitle program edit / preview section that edits and previews the created subtitle program data, and When performing line breaks and page breaks in the subtitle screen editing work of the subtitle program editing / screen preview section, the subtitle screen after the modification of the relevant subtitle screen is displayed, and the modified subtitle screen before and after the modification is displayed in parallel. And a subtitle program editing support unit having a display means.

According to the present invention having the above-described structure, the insertion of line breaks and page breaks in the subtitle sentence is adjusted so that the subtitle sentence is more readable for the user of the subtitle broadcast, and the display unit subtitle sentence is edited. It becomes possible to support.

<Details of Functional Configuration of Semi-automatic Subtitle Program Production System 100> Next, the process executed in the semi-automatic subtitle program production system 100 having the above configuration will be performed by the subtitle text transcription unit 30 and the automatic subtitle program data production unit. 40 and the subtitle program editing / previewing unit 50 will be described in detail.

<< Processing in Subtitle Text Transcription Unit 30 >> The main work in the subtitle text transcription unit 30 is to listen to the speech of the program and transcribe its contents, and to set the start / end timing for each segment. It is used to convert speeches (speakers) into data.

Therefore, as a support function for facilitating the transcription in this function, it is basically necessary for the worker to correctly hear the speech of the program and to transcribe it at his own pace. It is important that it is easy to hear and transcribe, that the speaker and timing are easy to understand, and that transcription data can be easily modified. As described above, the subtitle text transcription unit 30 of the present system 100 has various handwork support functions.

The subtitle text transcription unit 30 has a function of editing a subtitle text file (XML).

Here, the subtitle text means the range time (I
N TIME, OUT TIME), the speaker, and the data composed of the caption text.

As an aid for editing, an MPEG / AVI video file stored in the disc recording / reproducing unit 20 can be used to hear sound, adjust timing, and adjust subtitle position.

Next, the procedure of the transcribing process executed by the subtitle text transcribing unit 30 having the above configuration will be specifically described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When the operator presses the "PLAY" button to start the image reproduction, first, the utterance timing is searched (step ST11).

When the "start writing" button is pressed at the utterance confirmation point, this becomes the start point of the speech section (step ST12).

Rewinding for a certain period of time, slow reproduction is started, and transcription work is executed (step ST13,
14). When the end of speech is recognized, it is rewound as appropriate to search for the utterance end point (step ST15).

When the "end writing" button is pressed at the utterance end point (end point), the normal reproduction mode is entered (step ST16).

After transcribing, script, term check,
While the summary support is executed, the background sound information is registered (steps ST17 and ST18).

When the text creation process is completed, the process moves to the process of the automatic subtitle program data production section 40 (step ST
19).

As shown in the above-mentioned steps, after the transcribing is completed, the script of the text is checked, the term is checked, and if necessary, the summary support is executed to correct the necessary text. Check the background sound information and register the information. After registration, the work related to text creation is terminated, and the process of the automatic subtitle program data production unit 40 is proceeded to.

As described above, this embodiment presents the transcription support of the new semi-automatic subtitle program production system, and has the following advantages.

That is, the video and audio of the TV material program,
By recording the time code in a disc recording / playback device that is easy to operate non-linearly and effectively operating and processing it, it is possible to efficiently input additional information data such as transcription of subtitle text for speech and background sound. It will be possible.

Further, the transcription itself is based on human knowledge
Although it is unavoidable to use manual work depending on the ability, it is possible to effectively operate and process the video and audio of a TV material program to support the manual work such as transcription.

Analyzing the work such as transcribing, the VTR tape containing the TV material program is normally operated to reproduce the video and audio, and the speech in the audio is transcribed as text, and the start and end times are also recorded. Although it is recorded using the time code of the VTR, in the process, it is complicated to find the beginning of the corresponding speech part, reproduce at a speed suitable for transcribing the speech part, repeat reproduction, and confirm the end point of the speech part. VTR operation is performed. Regarding this point, the speech speed conversion technology can be applied to slow down or speed up the speech speed depending on the listening ability of the transcription worker, which facilitates the transcription work and the timing adjustment. Can be

<< Processing of Automatic Subtitle Program Data Production Unit 40 >>
FIG. 3 is a flowchart in which the speed is increased by applying a timing detection method in place of the voice recognition method as an example of a processing procedure of giving timing to a display subtitle sentence executed in the automatic subtitle program data production unit 40.

First, the pause start timing and duration are obtained from the audio data. The suitability is verified and necessary corrections are made (step ST21 in FIG. 3). It should be noted that the pause time detection function is used for the material VTR without voice recognition processing.
This is to detect the start and end timecodes at which the level continues below the specified level, for example, from the level and duration of the audio supplied from, and its timecode, which is executed by a method such as block cepstrum flux method. To be done.

Next, the subtitle text is divided into blocks with a relatively long pause (for example, 2 seconds or more), and the start and end timings thereof are given as block text sentences (steps ST22 and ST23).

Then, the duration of the block text sentence is divided by the total number of readings (calculation estimation) to obtain the average reading speed in the range (step ST24).

Next, each block text sentence is divided into display unit subtitle sentences having a line feed point such as a pause position of medium length (step ST25). In this case, the division rule is applied.

Next, the timings corresponding to the beginning and end of each divided subtitle sentence are calculated and added based on the start and end timings of the block text sentence, the pause timing, and the average reading speed. In this case, the number of characters, the character type method, or the pronunciation number method is applied (step ST26).

Then, the display time of each display unit subtitle is checked, and the end timing is corrected if necessary (step ST27).

In this way, timing is added to the display unit caption text by the automatic processing, and the automatic caption program data is created.

<< Process of Subtitle Program Data Editing / Previewing Unit 50 >> The final subtitle program is completed by the subtitle program data editing / previewing process of the subtitle program data created as described above. . The work in this function is that a worker with specialized knowledge previews the completed subtitle program data and corrects it if necessary.
A function is included to assist the operator in making corrections and edits regarding preview forms, subtitles, line breaks, page breaks, and timing that are easy for workers to check.

In the following description, the caption program data composed of the sending / erasing time, the caption text, and the management information is tentatively called caption material.

Further, as an aid of editing, it is possible to adjust the timing and the subtitle position using the MPEG image file. Input / output of subtitle material editing is only for NAB format files of teletext.
This file is for other "page list""pageusage"
It becomes the input / output format of "digital format conversion".

FIG. 4 shows the structure of the main screen used in the subtitle program editing / previewing section 50. This main screen is used for editing subtitle material. Using this main screen, edit subtitle material and operate each auxiliary function. The screen size is 1280 × 1024.

The main screen 501 is roughly divided into three areas: a menu area 502, an editing area 503, and a list area 504.

The menu area 502 is a portion for calling various functions, and various functions can be called by executing the items prepared in the menu bar and the toolbar.

The editing area 503 has a display area for the body of subtitles input using character input software, and the rear side of the editing area is a display area 50 for MPEG / AVI video.
Since it is 3A, it can be used to adjust the position of the text and image. In a normal preview, confirmation is performed using this editing area.

The list area 504 is an area for displaying an image and the created subtitle text corresponding to this image.
An image area 504A for displaying a list of images at regular intervals or cuts from the PEG / AVI video file,
A subtitle text area 504B that displays a subtitle text that is the content of the created text, and a waveform area 504 that displays a waveform related to speech corresponding to the created subtitle text.
C and a timeline area 5 in which a timeline serving as a time index of the waveform displayed in the waveform area 504C is displayed.
It consists of 04D. The list area 504 effectively supports the work of the editing / previewing worker.

The width displayed on one screen in the list area 504 is any one of 120 seconds, 60 seconds, and 30 seconds selected by "Option" of "Tool (T)".

The "image" is an image which is extracted from the video file at regular intervals or cut changes and is displayed. The size of the image is 160x120, and the entire width is 1
20 seconds is 20 seconds, 60 seconds is 10 seconds, and 30 seconds is 5 seconds.

In the "subtitle text", the content of the text input through the editing area 503 is displayed. The width of the frame represents the time width. It is omitted when the text is too narrow to display the text.

The "waveform" is displayed by processing an audio (including music and sound effects) signal recorded in the video file into a waveform.

<Processing by Subtitle Screen Editing Supporting Unit 70> In the above-mentioned automatic subtitle program data production unit 40, the information of “morphological analysis” and “specified synchronization calculation point” is used so as to match the screen of subtitle broadcasting. Under the constraints of "specified number of characters" and "specified number of lines" specified by the administrator, line breaks and page breaks are automatically inserted at appropriate positions in the subtitle data to perform division, and subtitle program data is created. ing. Here, "new line" means
It means dividing a subtitle sentence into lines so that the number of specified characters is not exceeded. Further, "page break" refers to dividing a subtitle sentence into units that can be simultaneously displayed so as not to exceed a specified number of lines.

Further, it is preferable that the one-line display unit subtitle sentence is displayed with 15 characters or a length corresponding thereto.

Also, in Japanese, the sentence meaning is a few letters at the end of the sentence.
Creating a page consisting of only the last few letters of a sentence should be avoided, as it can vary by 80 degrees. When dividing a long sentence into a plurality of pages of subtitles, it is preferable to divide so that the number of characters on each page is balanced.

Further, in the case of manually produced subtitles, there is a tendency that many line breaks and page breaks occur after a punctuation mark in a manuscript, and line breaks and page breaks do not occur between consecutive proper nouns, thus improving readability. In order to make it possible, it is preferable to divide the subtitles at semantically significant breaks.

The subtitle screen editing support section 70 is for supporting the manual editing by the operator based on the above-mentioned knowledge. In the subtitle program editing / preview section 50, a line break /
When a page break is corrected, it generally affects the subtitle screens before and after the page break, so it must be comprehensively determined how the influence affects the subtitle screens before and after. For example, changing the page break point of the subtitle screen immediately affects the subtitle screens before and after.

Therefore, in the subtitle screen editing support unit 70, when manually correcting line breaks and page breaks in the subtitle screen editing work, as shown in FIGS. In addition to displaying, the subtitle screen after the correction before and after the correction is also displayed. This makes it easier to judge the suitability of line breaks and page breaks on the subtitle screen by displaying three subtitle screens in parallel.
Effectively support the suitability judgment of the subtitle screen after manual correction.

<Specific example> For example, “My friend's hometown was in the southwestern part of Hokkaido, and I worked for a small farm until a few years ago. It is said that you can enjoy the magnificent figure of Ezo-Fuji close to you with the clear stream Shiribetsu River in the background. "
0, the automatic subtitle program data production unit 4 shown in FIG.
FIG. 5 shows an example of a display unit subtitle screen created by automatically line breaking and page breaking by 0.

In FIG. 5, a subtitle data edit screen 701 is displayed.
Has 12 characters in the first line as the display unit caption 701A,
The second line has 11 characters and says, "A beautiful figure of Ezo-Fuji, who is close to you and has a clear stream against Shiribetsu Shiribetsu River." In the pre-subtitle data edit screen 702, the display unit subtitle 702A has 14 characters on the first line and 13 characters on the second line, "Locally there is only one station inn in Japan, which is the best in Japan in the west side of Japan" is displayed. Has been done. In the post-caption data edited screen 703, the remaining 9 characters “that you can enjoy” is displayed in one line as the display unit caption 703A.

However, in the display unit subtitle screen example shown in FIG. 5, as described above, there is an extreme imbalance in the number of characters of each display unit subtitle. Generally, since the display time of each display unit subtitle has a substantially constant relationship with the number of characters, etc., the display time of the last "you can enjoy it" becomes short, and there is a problem that it can not be read or overlooked.

FIG. 6 shows an example of a display unit subtitle screen in which the imbalance correction of the number of characters is tried by manual line feed / page break.

In FIG. 6, a subtitle data edit screen 701 is displayed.
Has 13 characters in the first line as the display unit subtitle 701B,
The second line has 11 characters and says, "Back to Japan's No. 1, the clear stream, Shiribetsu River, of the familiar Ezo Fuji". In the subtitle data pre-edit screen 702, the display unit subtitle 702B has 11 characters in the first line and 12 characters in the second line, "Locally, there is the only Japanese inn in the station building, next to the west" is displayed. .
After the subtitle data edit screen 703, the display unit subtitle 703 is displayed.
As B, 9 characters in the first line and 3 characters in the second line are displayed.

In this case, the balance of the number of characters of each display unit subtitle due to the correction can be intuitively grasped from the three editing screens 701 to 703, and the display unit subtitles displayed on these screens are good, and correction is not necessary. It is possible to effectively support the decision as to whether or not further correction is necessary.

[0084]

As described above, according to the present invention, when performing a manual line feed / page break, it is possible to judge whether or not a subtitle screen should be corrected and how it affects other subtitle screens by displaying three subtitle screens in parallel. As a result, it is possible to edit the subtitles manually and appropriately and quickly, which greatly contributes to the efficiency of subtitle program production.
