Description

  The present invention relates to an HTML mail generation system, a communication device, an HTML mail generation method, and a recording medium. In particular, the present invention relates to an HTML mail generation system, a communication device, an HTML mail generation method, and a recording medium that decorate characters representing emotion according to the contents of the document when HTML document is input.

  When an operator creates an email in HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) format, the operator generally performs the following method. That is, the operator inputs a sentence after designating a decoration type such as a font size, a color, and a display position in advance when the sentence is created. Alternatively, after the user has created all the texts, the user repeatedly selects the part desired to be decorated from the created document and adds the decorations.

  However, the above-described procedure is very time-consuming and labor-intensive to create one HTML mail.

  Also, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-181936 discloses a document feature extraction method that extracts a phrase from a document and generates a feature vector of the document based on the frequency of use of the phrase. That is, the document feature extraction method of Document 1 extracts continuous phrases of nouns (noun bigrams) from a document and counts the number of appearances. Then, the document feature extraction method of Document 1 generates one word / phrase as a feature vector of a document based on the number of appearances.

  Also, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-157726 discloses a document creation method for creating an HTML mail using a character string as a decoration-compatible html. In other words, when an operator creates an HTML mail on the screen, he selects the character string to decorate the input character, and further operates the function key. Then, the mobile phone displays a selectable pictogram on the display unit. To do. When the operator selects a desired pictograph on the screen, the mobile phone adds the pictograph to the selected character string. Further, when the operator selects an HTML mail while looking at the display screen, the mobile phone applies a decoration corresponding to the added pictogram to the selected character string.

  A document conversion method for extracting image data corresponding to a word from an image storage unit and creating an e-mail based on the extracted image data is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-110373. That is, the document conversion apparatus extracts a word by performing morphological analysis on the input sentence. Further, the document conversion device searches the image storage unit based on the extracted word, acquires an image corresponding to the word, and creates a document with the acquired image pasted.

  On the other hand, when creating an e-mail sentence, an operator generally creates a sentence using words and phrases that express emotions (for example, words such as thank-you, fun, happy, and sorry). If the word or phrase representing the emotion in the created e-mail document is decorated according to the content of the e-mail, the word or phrase representing the emotion in the e-mail document corresponds to the content of the document, and It will be expressed in a visible form. Therefore, such an e-mail is convenient because it conveys emotional expressions to the other party.

JP 2000-181936 A JP 2004-157726 A JP-A-11-110373

  However, since the technique of Patent Document 1 extracts a characteristic phrase based on the number of appearances, it is possible to extract a phrase indicating an emotion by chance. For example, it is assumed that a phrase indicating an emotion is extracted. Even the extracted phrases are not decorated. For this reason, the technique of Patent Document 1 described above requires only an operator to manually decorate a phrase (character string) that expresses emotion when inputting an HTML mail document. Such work cannot be eliminated. Examples of the manual operation in this case are as follows. That is, the operator inputs a sentence after designating a character color, a size, etc. in advance for a portion to be decorated with an HTML editor. Alternatively, after the operator inputs all the sentences, the range of the part to be decorated is specified, and the character color and size are set.

  In the technique of Patent Literature 2, a pictograph is selected from the screen while the operator manually operates the screen, and is added to a desired character string. For this reason, the technique of the above-mentioned patent document 2 requires only manual operation by an operator to apply a decoration of a phrase (character string) expressing emotion when inputting an HTML mail document. Such work cannot be eliminated.

  In the technique of Patent Document 3, a word is extracted from an input sentence, and an image corresponding to the extracted word is unconditionally pasted on a document regardless of the content of the e-mail. For this reason, the technique of the above-mentioned Patent Document 3 requires only manual operation by an operator to apply decorations of words (character strings) expressing emotions when inputting HTML mail documents. Such work cannot be eliminated.

  The recording medium 41 is a recording medium such as a CD-ROM, CD-R, or DVD. In this recording medium 41, an HTML mail generation program, an emotion classification keyword dictionary, and a decoration pattern database are written in advance.

  When an operator of the portable terminal 1 wants to receive an HTML mail generation service, it is necessary to install an HTML mail generation program written in the recording medium 41 in advance in the portable terminal 1. That is, the operator sets the recording medium 41 in the medium device 40, and instructs the key operation unit 15 to install the HTML mail generation program written in the recording medium 41. Then, the control unit 11 reads the HTML mail generation program, the emotion classification keyword dictionary, and the decoration pattern database via the medium device 40. Then, the control unit 11 stores the read HTML mail generation program, the emotion classification keyword dictionary, and the decoration pattern database in the ROM 16. It is not always necessary for the user to install the HTM mail generation program, the dictionary, and the database after purchasing the portable terminal 1, and the manufacturer may install and store the portable terminal 1 at the time of factory shipment. Alternatively, the dealer may install and store the HTM mail generation program, the dictionary, and the database in the ROM 16 when the mobile terminal 1 is sold. In addition, the service provider installs an HTML generation program written in the recording medium 41 in a server device not shown. Then, the user may download the program, the dictionary, and the database from the installed server device to the mobile terminal 1 via the antenna 2 and write them in the ROM 16.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a mail generation circuit including the HTML mail generation unit 30 of the control unit 11 illustrated in FIG.

  The HTML mail generation unit 30 includes a mail editor 101, an HTML mail creation unit 102, and a morpheme analysis unit 103. In addition, the ROM 16 includes an emotion classification keyword dictionary 104 and a decoration pattern database 105 as information necessary for the operation of the HTML mail generation unit 30.

  The mail editor 101 edits text format and HTML format emails.

  The HTML mail creating unit 102 creates an HTML mail from a text mail. The HTML mail creation unit 102 includes an emotion determination unit 1021 and a creation unit 1022.

  The emotion determination unit 1021 extracts an emotional word (character string) from the created text-format mail document. The emotion determination unit 1021 extracts and determines the emotion of the word itself (also referred to as a partial emotion of the word in this embodiment) and the overall emotion of the mail document based on the extracted word.

  The creation unit 1022 extracts and determines the background color from the determined overall emotion. The creation unit 1022 extracts and determines a decoration pattern corresponding to the determined partial emotion and overall emotion from the extracted character string with emotion. The creation unit 1022 converts the text format document into an HTML format mail document using the determined decoration pattern, and displays the converted HTML format mail document on the display unit 14.

  The morpheme analysis unit 103 analyzes the text body of the text mail and cuts it out in units of words (character strings).

  The emotion classification keyword dictionary 104 is assigned in the ROM 16. This emotion classification keyword dictionary 104 classifies and stores emotions so as to correspond to the words (character strings) extracted by the morpheme analysis unit 103. That is, the emotion classification keyword dictionary 104 includes, for example, emotions and frequencies corresponding to the notation for each notation, as shown in FIG. In this case, the notation indicates a word (character string) and corresponds to the word (character string) cut out by the morphological analysis unit 103. Emotion indicates the emotion of the word (character string) itself. The frequency indicates the strength of the emotion of the word (character string) itself. In the example, the higher the value, the stronger the emotion. Furthermore, in the emotion classification keyword dictionary 104, the morphological analysis unit 103 can identify the ending in addition to the words shown in FIG. (However, emotion and frequency are not described) are also stored.

  The decoration pattern database 105 is allocated in the ROM 16. The decoration pattern database 105 holds HTML decoration patterns corresponding to the classified emotions. The decoration pattern includes a decoration of the entire background color and a decoration of the word itself indicating emotion. For this purpose, the decoration pattern database 105 includes a background color database 1051 and a partial decoration database 1052.

  The background color database 1051 stores a background color corresponding to the entire emotion for each entire emotion. That is, the background color database 1051 includes, for example, a background color corresponding to the overall emotion for each overall emotion, as shown in FIG. Note that the overall emotion represents the emotional expression of the entire email.

  The partial decoration database 1052 stores a decoration pattern (for example, color, font size, display expression, arrangement) corresponding to the whole emotion for each partial emotion. That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 5B, the partial decoration database 1052 includes a decoration pattern corresponding to the partial emotion and the whole emotion for each partial emotion. The character string designated with the telop decoration in FIG. 5B is displayed on the screen of the display unit 14 so that the characters flow from right to left one by one within the range of the character string. repeat. Further, when a teloped word continues, the entire subsequent character string becomes a telop target.

  The morphological analysis unit 103 cuts out a document described in a text format in the body of the e-mail in units of words. As an operation in this case, the morphological analysis unit 103 extracts a minimum character string by morphizing a sentence written in a text format. In this case, the morpheme analysis unit 103 searches the text of the text-format e-mail for the character string of the part that matches the word (notation column) registered in the emotion classification keyword dictionary 104, and matches the character string of the part Are extracted in units of words. Note that the morphological analysis unit 103 may use, for example, a technique described in JP-A-7-311769, and is not particularly defined in the present invention.

  Here, the morpheme indicates a minimum character string that has no meaning if it is made finer than this. In addition, the text format indicates a data format composed of pure characters without layout information or decoration information. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is a markup language developed on the basis of SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language), and is used for creating Web pages. SGML is a standard for digitizing documents that was devised in the United States in the 1960s.

  If there is a character string from which emotions can be read when the HTML mail document is input, the HTML mail generation unit 30 applies a decoration corresponding to the emotion to the character string, and displays a document including the multiplied character string on the display unit 14. In this case, the HTML mail generation unit 30 extracts emotions and frequencies of pleasure and joy represented by the character strings from the decoration pattern database 105 based on the extracted character strings, and the emotions with high frequency are extracted from the extracted character strings. Is extracted as indicating the overall emotion of the email. Further, the HTML mail generation unit 30 extracts a decoration pattern from the decoration pattern database 105 based on the emotion of emotion expressed by the character string and the entire feeling of the mail, and converts the decoration pattern into the character string using the extracted decoration pattern. Hang the decoration.

  Next, the operation of the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  Next, the overall operation of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 7.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the HTML mail creation unit 30 shown in FIG. That is, it is a flowchart showing an operation when the control unit 11 executes the HTML mail generation program 161. FIG. 7A shows the contents of the text of the e-mail in the text format. FIG. 7B shows the contents of the emotion table 106 when words extracted from the text of FIG. 7A are written in the extracted word column of the emotion table 106. FIG. 7C shows the contents of the emotion table 106 when the result of extracting emotions and frequencies from the emotion classification keyword dictionary using the words registered in FIG. FIG. FIG. 7D is a diagram showing the contents of the HTML mail body when the text-format electronic mail body in FIG. 7A is converted to the HTML-format electronic body.

  First, when the operator selects “Create Mail” from the menu screen displayed on the display unit 14 of the mobile terminal 1 in order to create an HTML mail, the control unit 11 executes the mail editor 101. Then, the mail editor 11 causes the operator to input a text-format electronic mail body via the display unit 14 and the key operation unit 15. When the operator finishes creating the e-mail in the text format (for example, see FIG. 7A), the mail editor 101 sends the e-mail described in the text format (FIG. 7A) to the HTML mail creating unit 102. (Step S201 in FIG. 3).

  The HTML mail creation unit 102 passes the text-format electronic mail (FIG. 7A) to the morpheme analysis unit 103. Then, the morphological analysis unit 103 cuts out the body of the text-format e-mail into words by searching the emotion classification keyword dictionary 104, and passes the information cut out in units of the words to the HTML mail creating unit 102. The HTML mail creating unit 102 receives information extracted in units of words as an extracted word (step S202 in FIG. 3).

  The HTML mail creation unit 102 that has received the extracted word passes control to the emotion determination unit 1021.

  The emotion determination unit 1021 of the HTML mail creation unit 102 creates an emotion table 106 (see, for example, FIG. 6) in the RAM 17 to perform work, and adds the received extracted word to the extracted word column of the emotion table 106. Write in order. In this case, the emotion table 106 in which the extracted words are written is, for example, as shown in FIG. Although the ending is not described in the extracted word column in FIG. 7B, a character string including the ending (for example, “today” is “today”) may be used. When the ending is omitted as in the extracted word column of FIG. 7B, the extracted word string is written together in the extracted word column so that the extracted character string (in this case, the combined character string) can be seen. You may do it.

  The emotion determination unit 1021 searches the emotion classification keyword dictionary 104 (FIG. 2) using the extracted word (the extracted word) as a key, and extracts the emotion and frequency corresponding to each word. Further, the emotion determination unit 1021 writes the emotion and frequency of each extracted word in the emotion column and the frequency column of the emotion table 106 for each extracted word (word), thereby completing the emotion table 106 (for example, (See FIG. 7 (c)). That is, the emotion determination unit 1021 completes the emotion table 106 to determine the partial emotion of the word expressing the emotion. In this case, for example, in FIG. 7C, the emotion “joyful” indicates the partial emotion of the word “thank you”, and the emotion “fun” indicates the partial emotions of the words “fun” and “going out”. Note that “−” in the emotion column in the emotion table in FIG. 7C indicates that there is no emotion expression, and “−” in the frequency column indicates that there is no emotion. Therefore, the text of the e-mail in FIG. 7A includes three words indicating the emotions. The display of “−” in the emotion table may be “0” or may be blank.

Next, the emotion determination unit 1021 determines whether or not one or more words indicating emotions exist in the emotion table 106 by searching the frequency in the emotion table 106. If it exists, the emotion determination unit 1021 extracts a word with the highest emotion frequency and an emotion corresponding to the word from the extracted words (cut out words) in the created emotion table 106. In this case, the emotion determination unit 1021 determines that the extracted frequently-sent emotion indicates the emotion of the entire mail (step S203 in FIG. 3). This determination by the emotion determination unit 1021 determines the overall emotion of the mail document. That is, FIG.
Referring to the emotion table 106 in (c), the word “thank you” whose frequency information is 500 indicates the emotion expression “happy”. The emotion determination unit 1021 determines this “happy” emotion as the emotion of the entire mail.

  FIG. 5A is a diagram showing an embodiment of the background color database 1051 in the decoration pattern database 105 shown in FIG. FIG. 5B is a diagram showing an embodiment of a partial decoration database 1052 in the decoration pattern database 105.

  Next, the emotion determination unit 1021 passes control to the creation unit 1022. The creation unit 1022 of the HTML mail creation unit 102 searches the background color database 1051 (FIG. 5A) in the decoration pattern database 105 (FIG. 2) by using the determined overall emotion as a key, and applies. Extract and determine the overall background color. Further, the creation unit 1022 searches the partial decoration database 1052 (FIG. 5B) using the partial emotion and the overall emotion of the extracted word as keys, and extracts a corresponding decoration pattern. In this case, the creation unit 1022 uses the emotion corresponding to the extracted word registered in the emotion table 106 as a partial emotion, searches the partial decoration database 1052 using the partial emotion and the determined overall emotion as a key, The decoration pattern corresponding to the extracted word (word) is extracted from the partial decoration database 1052 and determined. In this way, the creation unit 1022 converts the text-format mail into the HTML-format mail while reflecting the background color of the mail and reflecting the decoration pattern information in the words indicating emotion. Further, the creation unit 1022 displays the HTML-format mail document created in this way on the display unit 14 (step S204 in FIG. 3).

  Finally, the creation unit 1022 returns control to the HTML mail creation unit 102. Then, the HTML mail creating unit 102 returns the converted HTML-format mail (FIG. 7D) to the mail editor 101 (FIG. 2) and is completed (step S205 in FIG. 3).

  As described above, the control unit 11 cuts out an e-mail in text format into words by analyzing morphemes, and searches the emotion classification keyword dictionary 104 and the decoration pattern database 105 based on the cut-out words. Thus, since the decoration pattern is extracted, it is possible to automatically create an HTML mail. That is, it is not necessary for the operator to repeatedly select a word to be emphasized and change the decoration type, and the embodiment of the present invention can automatically perform the troublesome operation.

  In the above embodiment, only the background color is used as the background of the HTML mail for the feeling of the whole mail. However, in the above embodiment, instead of the background color, an image database classified in advance for each target emotion is prepared, and the HTML mail creation unit 102 creates an image database according to the entire emotion of the mail. An image may be extracted by searching, and the extracted image may be inserted as a background. Moreover, although the said embodiment prepares only one decoration pattern with respect to the taken-out emotion, by preparing several patterns in advance, a plurality of HTML-format mails are presented, and the user can choose according to their preference. You may make it choose.

  Although the above embodiment has been described with respect to a portable terminal, it may be used for a communication device such as a personal computer that is not portable. Further, when the recording medium on which the HTML creation program is recorded is shipped, if the operator has a computer equipped with a communication function, the HTML creation program stored in the recording medium 41 is installed in the computer to create the HTML. Can receive services.

  In the above embodiment, the RAM 17 has been described on the assumption of a volatile memory. However, a nonvolatile memory such as a flash memory may be used.

  In the above embodiment, the HTML mail generation program, the emotion classification keyword dictionary, and the decoration pattern database are stored in the ROM 16, but are stored in the RAM 17 or a non-illustrated nonvolatile recording medium device (for example, a magnetic disk). You may make it do.

  As described above, when the control unit 11 in the present embodiment creates an HTML mail document, if there is a character string in which the emotion can be read in the created text format document, the entire document emotion is determined from the character string. To do. Further, the control unit 11 in the present embodiment makes an HTML document in which a decoration pattern corresponding to the determined overall emotion is applied to a character string representing the emotion. Therefore, in this embodiment, the operator can automatically convert the document into an HTML format in which a character string representing an emotion is decorated only by creating a text format document. Further, since the control unit 11 displays the HTML-formatted text with the decoration, the operator can check the HTML-format document automatically converted before sending the mail.

It is a block diagram which shows the structure of the whole system containing the communication apparatus to which the mail automatic generation method in embodiment of this invention is applied. It is a block diagram which shows the structure of the HTML production | generation circuit containing the HTML mail production | generation part in the control part of FIG.
