Description

  The present invention relates to a minutes creation apparatus and a minutes creation method that can support creation and distribution of minutes having complementary information, and in particular, minutes capable of creating minutes associated with speech information as complementary information. The present invention relates to a creation device and a minutes creation method.

You can know the summary of the meeting from the minutes of the meeting, but you cannot know the state of the meeting. Therefore, by recording the speech voice in the conference in advance and reproducing it later, it is possible not only to know the state of the conference but also to reconfirm it. At this time, if the voice related to the important utterance can be extracted in advance, the contents of the meeting can be confirmed efficiently, and the gist of the meeting can be grasped in a short time.
As an information processing apparatus having such a function, when it is determined that an important remark has been made during a conference, the attendee of the conference uses a mobile phone to instruct time recording, and 15 seconds before the instructed time. A technique for extracting a recorded voice starting from “1” as an important utterance is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).
JP, 2005-109928, A Similarly, as an information processing apparatus having such a function, when it is determined that an important remark has been made during the meeting, the participant of the meeting instructed to record the time. A technique is known in which a recorded voice that starts at a predetermined time interval and is more than a predetermined time before the time is extracted as an important utterance (see, for example, Patent Document 2). JP2005-244523

  By the way, in the information processing system that estimates the time before a certain time as the start time of the important speech based only on the time when it is determined that the speech is important as described above, the end time of the speech cannot be estimated. It was not possible to cope with temporal variations due to the characteristics of the operator from the start of the remark until it was determined to be an important remark. For this reason, the time section (hereinafter referred to as the important speech section) that is the recording target of the minutes, such as the time section in which the important speech was actually made, and the extracted time section (hereinafter referred to as the extracted speech section) The difference has occurred.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a minutes creation apparatus and a minutes creation method capable of extracting an extracted speech section with a small difference from an important speech section. It is in.

The minutes generating apparatus according to the present invention is defined by an input means for inputting minutes data constituting the minutes, a start time when the input means starts to input the minutes data, and an end time when it is ended. The recorded time interval, which is the time interval determined by the start time and the end time when the event in the conference that is the recording target of the minutes, is started is calculated based on the recording time interval that is the recorded time interval. And a calculating means.
According to this configuration, it is possible to automatically calculate the time interval for which the minutes are to be recorded based on the time interval actually required for recording the minutes. Therefore, for example, as compared with the case where the clerk manually records only the start time of the time section that is the recording target of the minutes, the labor of recording the recorded time section of the clerk can be eliminated.
In addition, since the minutes record events that the clerk has determined to be important, the time interval in which the utterance event that the clerk determined to be important matches the time interval in which the minutes were recorded . Therefore, it is possible to automatically calculate the time interval in which the remark that the clerk is determined to be important is made.

In the above configuration, the calculating means calculates a recorded time interval in which the start time of the recorded time interval is earlier than the start time of the recording time interval.
For example, the clerk cannot determine whether or not to record in the minutes unless actually speaking. In addition, according to this configuration, since it is determined that the start time of the time section targeted for recording the minutes is before the time when the recording of the minutes is actually started, as an example, the start of the recorded time section Compared to the case where the time coincides with the start time of the recording time interval, it is possible to suppress a deviation between the start time of the time interval actually recorded in the minutes and the start time of the recorded time interval. .

In the above configuration, the calculation means calculates a recording time interval in which the end time of the recording time interval is earlier than the end time of the recording time interval.
For example, the clerk usually ends before the end of the recording because the clerk cannot determine whether the recording of the minutes should be ended unless the end of the actual speaking. In addition, according to this configuration, since it is determined that the end time of the time section targeted for recording the minutes is before the time when the recording of the minutes is actually ended, as an example, the end of the recorded time section Compared to the case where the time coincides with the end time of the recording time section, it is possible to suppress the deviation between the end time of the time section actually recorded in the minutes and the end time of the recorded time section. .

In the above configuration, the calculating means calculates a recorded time interval in which the end time of the recorded time interval is earlier than the end time of the recording time interval by a predetermined time interval. .
For example, the clerk cannot determine whether or not to finish recording the minutes unless the speech actually ends. In addition, according to this configuration, since it is determined that the end time of the time section targeted for recording the minutes is before the time when the recording of the minutes is actually ended, as an example, the end of the recorded time section Compared to the case where the time coincides with the end time of the recording time interval, it is possible to suppress the deviation between the end time of the time interval actually recorded in the minutes and the end time of the recorded time interval. it can.

Here, returning to FIG. 1, the description of the configuration of the minutes creating apparatus 100 of the present invention will be continued.
The calculation unit 120 is connected to the acquisition unit 110, the minutes creation unit 130, and the control unit 170. The calculation unit 120 receives electronic data, switching information, collected sound, microphone identification information, captured video, video camera identification information, captured image, and digital camera identification information from the acquisition unit 110. In addition, the calculation unit 120 receives a signal (hereinafter simply referred to as an input signal) indicating that the secretary 300 is inputting the minutes data from the control unit 170 without delay from the input of the secretary. Thereby, since the calculation part 120 can know the minutes data input start time and end time of the secretary 300, it calculates | requires the recording time area which is a time area defined by the input start time and time of minutes data. Can do.

  Based on the input signal received from the control unit 170, the calculation unit 120 is a time interval determined by a start time at which an event in a conference for which a secretary is to be recorded as a minutes, and an end time at which the event was ended. Determine the recorded time interval. Thereafter, the received electronic data, switching information, collected sound, microphone identification information, captured video, video camera identification information, captured image, digital camera identification information, and the calculated recorded time interval are transmitted to the minutes creation unit 130. To do.

The event refers to an event perceived by the clerk 300.
Specifically, an event is an explanation given to a slide projected by a conference participant, or a question-and-answer session or confirmation between conference participants or between a conference participant and others. Includes remarks from conference participants.

  In addition, the event was performed by a participant of the conference, such as an operation for explanation performed on the projected slide by the conference participant, a motion of the conference participant such as a gesture performed to supplement the speech, or the participant of the conference. Including actions of participants in the conference such as unconscious actions.

  Furthermore, the event is a device in the conference room such as an operation of the projection device for projecting slide data, an operation for creating the minutes of the minutes creation device, or an operation of the video conference device for a video conference. Includes operation of equipment.

Furthermore, the event includes a change in the brightness of the conference room, the generation or elimination of noise in the conference room, the generation or elimination of bad odor, the occurrence of an earthquake, or a change in the environment of the conference room such as an increase or decrease in room temperature. .
According to this configuration, it is possible to record a statement or the like that should be well known and confirmed by the participants of the conference.

Here, a recording time section determination process executed by the calculation unit 120 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a process of extracting a recorded time section by the determination unit.
First, the calculation unit 120 calculates the start time Rs of the recorded time interval using the start time Is of the recording time interval, the end time Ie of the recording time interval, and a predetermined positive constant C (step ST1). .

  Specifically, the calculation unit 120 sets the start time Rs of the recorded time interval to a time that is earlier than the start time Is of the recording time interval by a time determined by the recording time interval time interval length (Ie−Is).

  Expressed by a mathematical expression, the start time Rs of the recording time interval satisfying Rs = Is− (Ie−Is) * C is calculated.

  Here, C is a constant determined according to a time trend from when the secretary 300 hears the speed and remarks of inputting minutes data through the input unit 160 to when the minutes data starts to be input. A configuration in which the constant C has the same value for all the clerks 300 or a different value for each clerk 300 can be adopted.

In the above configuration, for example, the clerk cannot determine whether or not to record in the minutes unless actually speaking. In addition, according to this configuration, since it is determined that the start time of the time section targeted for recording the minutes is before the time when the recording of the minutes is actually started, as an example, the start of the recorded time section Compared to the case where the time coincides with the start time of the recording time interval, it is possible to suppress a deviation between the start time of the time interval actually recorded in the minutes and the start time of the recorded time interval. .
Furthermore, according to this configuration, the tendency of the time difference between the time when the clerk started listening to the statement and the time when the clerk started recording in the minutes shows that the longer the time required to record the minutes, the longer the time difference becomes. Therefore, the deviation can be further suppressed.

  As another method for calculating the start time Rs of the recording time interval, the calculation unit 120 uses the start time Rs of the recording time interval as the start time Is of the recording time interval and a predetermined positive constant C. To calculate (step ST1).

  Specifically, the calculation unit 120 sets the start time Rs of the recorded time section to a time earlier by a positive constant C than the start time Is of the recording time section.

  Expressed by a mathematical formula, the start time Rs of the recorded time interval satisfying Rs = Is−C is calculated.

For example, the clerk cannot determine whether or not to record in the minutes unless actually speaking. In addition, according to this configuration, since it is determined that the start time of the time section targeted for recording the minutes is before the time when the recording of the minutes is actually started, as an example, the start of the recorded time section Compared to the case where the time coincides with the start time of the recording time interval, it is possible to suppress the deviation between the start time of the time interval actually recorded in the minutes and the start time of the recorded time interval. it can.
Further, for example, the above-mentioned deviation can be further suppressed by investigating in advance a tendency in the time difference between the time when the clerk starts listening to the statement and the time when recording starts in the minutes.

  Next, the calculation unit 120 calculates the end time Re of the recording time interval using the start time Is of the recording time interval, the end time Ie of the recording time interval, and a predetermined positive constant C (step ST2 ).

  Specifically, the calculation unit 120 sets the end time Re of the recorded time section to a time earlier than the recording time section end time Ie by a time determined by the recording time section time section length (Ie−Is).

  Expressed by a mathematical expression, the end time Re of the recorded time interval satisfying Re = Ie− (Ie−Is) * C is calculated.

  As another method for calculating the end time Re of the recording time interval, the calculation unit 120 calculates the end time Re of the recording time interval as the end time Ie of the recording time interval and a predetermined positive constant C. To calculate (step ST2).

  Specifically, the calculation unit 120 sets the end time Re of the recorded time section to a time earlier by a positive constant C than the end time Ie of the recording time section.

  Expressed by a mathematical formula, the end time Re of the recorded time interval satisfying Re = Ie−C is calculated.

  For example, the clerk usually ends before the end of the recording because the clerk cannot determine whether the recording of the minutes should be ended unless the end of the actual speaking. In addition, according to this configuration, since it is determined that the end time of the time section targeted for recording the minutes is before the time when the recording of the minutes is actually ended, as an example, the end of the recorded time section Compared to the case where the time coincides with the end time of the recording time section, it is possible to suppress the deviation between the end time of the time section actually recorded in the minutes and the end time of the recorded time section. .

  Thereafter, the calculation unit 120 has the end time Ce of the slide display section included in the recording time section determined by the recording time section start time Rs and the recording time section end time Re calculated in Step ST1 and Step ST2. Judgment is made (step ST3). When the calculation unit 120 determines that there is an end time Ce of the slide display section included in the recording time section determined by the start time Rs of the recording time section and the end time Re of the recording time section, the process of step ST4 If not, the process of step ST5 is executed.

  In step ST3, when the calculation unit 120 determines that there is an end time Ce of the slide display section included in the recorded time section determined by the start time Rs of the recorded time section and the end time Re of the recorded time section. The end time Re of the recorded time interval calculated in step ST2 is changed to the end time Ce of the slide display interval (step ST4).

  According to this configuration, the clerk usually creates a minutes based on the remarks, and a single break is rarely made across multiple slides. Compared with the case where the end time of the recorded time interval is determined without being based on the recording time interval, the recorded time interval and the speech interval that is the recorded time interval are likely to coincide.

  If it is determined in step ST3 that there is no end time Ce of the slide display section included in the recorded time section determined by the start time Rs of the recorded time section and the end time Re of the recorded time section, or step ST4 is performed. After the execution, the calculation unit 120 includes the start time Is of the recording time section as the processing target in the utterance section S, and the start time Rs of the recorded time section calculated in step ST1 is the start time of the utterance section. It is determined whether it is before Ss (step ST5). When the calculation unit 120 determines that the start time Is of the recording time section to be processed is included in the speech section S and the start time Rs of the recorded time section is earlier than the start time Ss of the speech section If not, the process ends at step ST6.

  In step ST <b> 5, the calculation unit 120 includes the start time Is of the recording time interval as a processing target in the speech segment S, and the start time Rs of the recorded time interval is earlier than the start time Ss of the speech segment. If it is determined, the start time Rs of the recorded time section is changed to the start time Ss of the speech section (step ST6). Thereafter, the calculation unit 120 ends the process.

  According to this configuration, since the clerk usually creates the minutes based on the remarks, the start time of the recorded time interval coincides with the start time of the replay interval that is the recorded time interval.

  In step ST5, the calculation unit 120 does not include the start time Is of the recording time interval to be processed in the utterance interval S, or the start time Rs of the recorded time interval is later than the start time Ss of the utterance interval. If it is determined that there is, the calculation unit 120 ends the process.

  Here, with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6, the relationship between the recorded time section R, the speech section S, the recording time section I, and the slide display section C calculated by the calculation unit 120 will be described. 4 to 7 are diagrams for explaining an example or another example of a method for calculating a recorded time interval in the present invention.

  In FIG. 4, the start time Rs and the end time Re of the recording time interval are calculated by the calculation unit 120 executing the processing of step ST1 and step ST2 of the flowchart shown in FIG.

  Note that there is no end time Ce of the slide display section included in the recorded time period determined by the start time Rs of the recorded time period and the end time Re of the recorded time period calculated in step ST1 and step ST2 (step ST3 / No), the calculation unit 120 sets the time calculated in step ST2 as it is as the end time Re of the recorded time section.

  In addition, the start time Is of the recording time section as the processing target is included in the speech section S, but the start time Rs of the recorded time section is not earlier than the start time Ss of the speech section (step ST5 / No). The calculation unit 120 sets the time calculated in step ST1 as it is as the start time Rs of the recorded time section.

  In FIG. 5, the start time Rs and the end time Re of the recording time section are calculated by the calculation unit 120 executing the processing of step ST1 and step ST2 of the flowchart shown in FIG. Here, for the sake of explanation, the end time Re of the recorded time interval calculated in step ST2 is particularly referred to as PRe.

Thereafter, unlike FIG. 4, there is an end time Ce of the slide display section included in the recorded time section determined by the start time Rs of the recorded time section and the end time Re of the recorded time section calculated in step ST1 and step ST2. For this reason (step ST3 / Yes), the end time Re of the recorded time section is set to the same time as the end time Ce of the slide display section, not the time PRE calculated in step ST2 (step ST4).
The start time Rs of the recorded time section is the same as that in FIG.

  In FIG. 6, the start time Rs and the end time Re of the recording time section are calculated by the calculation unit 120 executing the processing of step ST1 and step ST2 of the flowchart shown in FIG. Here, for the sake of explanation, the start time Rs of the recorded time interval calculated in step ST1 is particularly assumed to be PRs.

After that, unlike FIG. 4, the start time Is of the recording time section as the processing target is included in the speech section S, and the start time Rs of the recorded time section calculated in step ST1 is greater than the start time Ss of the speech section. Since it is before (step ST5 / Yes), the calculation unit 120 sets the start time Rs of the recorded time section as the start time Ss of the speech section.
Note that the end time Re of the recording time section is the same as that in FIG.

According to this configuration, it is possible to automatically calculate the time interval for which the minutes are to be recorded based on the time interval actually required for recording the minutes. Therefore, for example, as compared with the case where the clerk manually records only the start time of the time section that is the recording target of the minutes, the labor of recording the recorded time section of the clerk can be eliminated.
In addition, since the minutes are items that the clerk has determined to be important, the time interval in which the clerk determined that the clerk is important matches the time interval in which the minutes were recorded. Therefore, it is possible to automatically calculate the time interval in which the clerk determines that the clerk is important.
