BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a communication device and method, and a recording medium, and in particular, a communication device and communication method that enables remote communication between persons with impaired eyes or ears or between healthy persons, and the method. The present invention relates to a recording medium on which a program is recorded.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method for performing remote data communication using a modem, a technique for transmitting and receiving data by e-mail or the like using a computer and a modem is well known. In addition, telephone communication devices TDD / TTY developed for hearing impaired persons in the United States are widely used as a means for persons with disabilities to communicate via telephone lines. In this method, character information input from a typewriter is transmitted via a telephone line, and characters are displayed on a liquid crystal display device on the receiving side. In addition, there is an example in which the TDD / TTY is modified and the receiving unit of the liquid crystal display device is replaced with a braille display ("Possibility and problems of computer network use by deafblind people", IEICE Tech. 79).
[0003]
On the other hand, finger braille is known as one of the means by which a deafblind person who has both visual and auditory disabilities communicates everyday. As a device for transmitting information in a finger braille pattern, a method of presenting character information by stimulation of a stimulating element provided on the finger pad or finger back of six fingers (hereinafter referred to as a six finger braille method) has been reported. ((1) “Braille information transmission device”, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-105048, (2) “New Braille transmission method by passive tactile”, IPSJ Journal, VOL52, 98-4, (3) "Study of Optimal Stimulus Mode for Finger Braille Display", IEICE Transactions (A), VOL. J81-A, No. 9, pp. 1273-1279).
[0004]
However, there is currently no effective device that can perform remote communication using finger braille. Thus, there are very few devices that allow deafblind people to perform remote communication without assistance.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above-described computer and the conventional method of sending and receiving data such as e-mail using a modem, the output device is a visual or audible display and cannot be used by a deaf-blind person. In addition, it is possible to express the character information on the screen in Braille by providing a Braille display on the computer, but in addition to making it difficult for the deafblind to operate the computer itself, real-time communication is possible in the mail format. There is a problem that it cannot be done. Furthermore, since there is no function that informs the user of the start / end of a conversation or the change of a speaker / listener, it is difficult to form a normal verbal conversation.
[0006]
In addition, the TDD / TTY modified type that replaces the receiving part of the liquid crystal display device with a braille display can form a conversation mode close to real time, but it is not possible to convey it completely in real time just like verbal conversation. Have difficulty. In addition, this type is not in a form that expresses rehearsals, reconciliations, or rephrasings unique to oral conversation.
[0007]
Furthermore, the above-mentioned method using a braille pin display can be used by people with disabilities who have learned small-sized braille, but there is a limit to the sense of the fingertips and can be used by people with disabilities who cannot read braille. There are issues such as being unable to do so.

[0025]
Next, the configuration of the six-finger Braille terminals 5 and 15 and a method for presenting tactile stimulation that the six-finger Braille terminals 5 and 15 output to the finger will be described with reference to FIG.
[0026]
In FIG. 2, six Braille input keys 21 to 26 are configured for a deafblind person to give a tactile stimulus to human fingers, and are arranged so that three fingers can be placed on the left and right, and a total of six fingers. Has been. Each braille input key unit includes a plurality of stimulation pins 21a to c, 22a to c, 23a to c, 24a to c, 25a to c, and 26a to c, respectively. Each stimulation pin is guided by each braille input key unit to move up and down, and also functions as an input key. Each stimulation pin includes an actuator mechanism that moves the stimulation pin up and down, such as a piezoelectric element, an electromagnetic solenoid, and a shape memory alloy, and applies tactile stimulation to the skin by the vertical movement. Although one stimulation pin may be used for one finger, FIG. 2 shows an example using a plurality of stimulation pins.

[0029]
With reference to FIG. 2 thru | or FIG. 4, the drive method of the stimulation pin in the 6-finger braille terminals 5 and 15 is demonstrated. In FIG. 3, the black circle stimulation pins are driven pins, and the white stimulation pins are not driven pins (the same applies to FIG. 6 described later). In FIG. 4, the starting point of the time axis (horizontal axis) in (a) and (b) is the same. Further, the reference number given to each curve corresponds to the reference number given to the stimulation pin (the same applies to FIG. 7 described later).
[0030]
For the stimulation pins 21a-c, 22a-c, 23a-c, 24a-c, 25a-c, and 26a-c corresponding to each finger, only those corresponding to the Braille to be presented are driven up and down at a predetermined timing. . For example, in the case of “U” in Braille, the stimulation pins 21a to 21c and 24a to 24c are scan-driven as follows.
[0031]
Here, the stimulation pins 21a aligned in the horizontal direction of the braille input key unit 21 corresponding to one finger are simultaneously driven for a time t1, and similarly the stimulation pin 21b is driven for a time t2 with a delay time Δt with respect to the stimulation pin 21a. Similarly, the stimulation pin 21c is driven for the time t3 with a delay time Δt with respect to the stimulation pin 21b. The Braille input key unit 21 scans another finger with a delay time ΔM with respect to the above scan of the Braille input key unit 21. Again, the laterally aligned stimulation pins 24a are simultaneously driven for a time t1, the stimulation pin 24b is also driven for a time t2 with a delay time Δt relative to the stimulation pin 24a, and the stimulation pin 24c is also the stimulation pin 24b. On the other hand, it is driven for a time t3 with a delay time Δt.
[0032]
In this way, each stimulation pin is driven by a signal having delay times Δt and ΔM respectively at the same time or within one finger and between six fingers. In the case of Braille “U”, the stimulation pins 22a to c, 23a to c, 25a to c, and 26a to c are not driven. Thus, Braille can be transmitted depending on which finger and which finger are stimulated at what timing.
[0033]
Next, a method for carrying out remote communication using the communication device according to the present invention including the six-finger Braille terminals 5 and 15 will be described. When explaining the implementation of remote communication, tactile stimulation that informs the state necessary for the conversation, such as the start and end of the conversation, acquisition of the right to speak (speaker change), coordinating, re-listening, and correcting the speaker's speech, The stimulus is applied as a stimulus (see FIG. 6) of various timings unique to the present invention, different from the tactile stimulus corresponding to the character information by the “six-finger braille system”.
[0034]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a protocol and method for realizing remote communication using the communication apparatus according to the present invention. FIG. 6 is an explanatory view exemplifying the types of stimuli at the above-mentioned various timings for conveying the state of conversation. FIG. 7 is a schematic explanatory diagram for explaining an example of the stimulation pin driving method for the six-finger Braille terminals 5 and 15, and FIG. 8 is a timing diagram showing an example of the driving timing by the stimulation pin driving method for the six-finger Braille terminals 5 and 15. is there.
[0035]
Hereinafter, according to the flowchart of FIG. 5, the communication method will be described in order with reference to FIGS.
[0036]
A sender, that is, a sender (in this embodiment, a user of the left block in FIG. 1) uses a braille input key unit 21 to 26 included in the six-finger Braille terminal 5 or a numeric keypad of the keyboard 3 to transmit a partner. Is entered (S500). The character data for conversation encoded by the voice modem 2 is transmitted and detected by the computer 11 on the receiving side. As a result, the computer 11 puts the transmitter 20 in a transmission state.
[0037]
When the wearable vibration presenter 19 receives a weak radio wave from the transmitter 20, for example, by driving a vibration motor to present a ringing vibration (S504), the receiver is presented with an incoming call (S506). During the transmission of the radio wave, the transmitting side presents a ringing vibration to the sender (user of the computer 1) by the stimulus signal (FIG. 6) of the DISP1 by the 6-finger Braille terminal 5 (S501), and the telephone is ringing. (S503).
[0038]
Here, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, the DISP 1 and the stimulation signals to be described below are simultaneously transmitted to the stimulation pins 21a, 21b, and 21c aligned in the horizontal direction of the Braille input key unit 21 at the presentation time t. It is driven at each timing according to each conversation state. The timing is such that the vibration frequency f, the presentation time t, the rest time t0, and the period T shown in FIG. 8 are set to the values illustrated in FIG. The time is also the value illustrated in FIG. As a result, various stimulation conditions are transmitted to the six fingers to convey the state of conversation.
[0039]
For example, in the case of DISP1 during a telephone call, from FIG. 6, it is presented to both the reception side and the transmission side, and vibration of a constant frequency f1 is performed every 3 seconds for 6 seconds with a pause time to 1 second (a delay between 6 fingers). None) Drive until there is a response from the receiver. The stimulation signal is transmitted using the 6-finger Braille terminals 5 and 15 and the wearable vibration presenters 9 and 19.
[0040]
Returning to FIG. 5, when the receiving computer 11 detects an incoming call, both the computers 1 and 11 transmit information such as their names and telephone numbers registered in advance to each other (S507). Furthermore, the stimulation signal of DISP2 (FIG. 6) is presented by the presenting units of the six-finger Braille terminals 5 and 15 on both the transmission and reception sides (S509). This informs both users that the communication partner is ready to check.
[0041]
Information such as the user name and telephone number communicated is temporarily stored in the memory buffer of each computer 1, 11 and output to the 6-finger Braille terminals 5, 15 to inform both users of the information of the communication partner. (S510, S511). When the communication partner is confirmed, both the transmitting side and receiving side users press the switch 30 of the 6-finger Braille terminals 5 and 15 or the carriage return key and enter key (not shown) of the keyboards 3 and 13 To do.
[0042]
In S513, when the name of the sender / receiver and the mode are confirmed, and pressing of the switch 30, the carriage return key or the enter key is detected, the computers 1 and 11 transmit a “confirmation end signal” to the communication partner. When each computer detects the transmitted “confirmation end signal”, the tactile stimulus of DISP3 (FIG. 6) is output by the presenting unit of each of the six-finger Braille terminals 5 and 15 to present a conversation ready vibration (S155). In other words, DISP3 is a signal notifying that a remote communication conversation is ready and either one can acquire the right to speak. In this state, the keyboards 3 and 13 are prohibited from key input on either side, and no data is transmitted even if a key is input. At the same time, the 6-finger Braille terminals 5 and 15 are key-locked so that they cannot be input mechanically.
[0043]
In this state, a user who wants to speak first (in this embodiment, a user of the left block in FIG. 1 and described as a speaker in S517 and the following) speaks the space 29 of the switch 29 of the 6-finger Braille terminal 5 or the keyboard 3. Press the key. When it is detected that the switch 29 or the space key is pressed, the process proceeds from S517 to S519, and the computer 1 transmits a “speech start signal” to the listener (S519), and simultaneously cancels the key input prohibition or the key lock (S521). . Upon receiving this “speech start signal”, the listener's computer 11 prohibits key input from the keyboard 13 and mechanically locks the braille input key portion of the six-finger Braille terminal 15 (S520, S522).
[0044]
In this way, the speaker side who first presses the switch 29 or the space key can acquire the right to speak and transmit the text data for conversation, and the listener side who does not have the right to speak can transmit even by key input. Can not do it. The speaker side who has obtained the speaking right inputs a conversation from the braille input key portions 21 to 26 of the keyboard 3 or the six-finger Braille terminal 5 if an escape key or the like is not pressed in S523 (S525 to S529). ). Here, the computer 1 outputs data to the voice modem 2 for each character and transmits it to the listener (S527).
[0045]
The data for one character received on the listener side is temporarily stored in the memory buffer and output to the presenting unit of the six-finger Braille terminal 15 to notify the communication partner's listener in real time (S524 to S532). . The presentation on the listener side is continued until a “speech end signal” described later is received.
[0046]
When the speaker finishes the conversation, the user presses the escape key on the keyboard 3 or the switch 27 on the six-finger Braille terminal 5. When the computer 1 detects pressing of the escape key or the switch 27, the process proceeds to S523 to S531, and the keyboard 3 on the speaker side is prohibited from being keyed, and the braille input key portion of the six-finger Braille terminal 5 is mechanically locked. Furthermore, the computer 1 transmits a “speech end signal” to the listener and returns to S517.
[0047]
The listener side receives this “speech end signal”, returns to S517, and waits for both to speak. Here, when the person who was the previous listener presses the switch 29 of the six-finger Braille terminal 15 or the space key of the keyboard 13, the right to speak is transferred, and the speaker and the listener are changed to establish a conversation.
[0048]
With the above protocol, the user can have a conversation sequentially in real time like a transceiver.
[0049]
When the first caller is on the phone with another party (busy), the DISP stimulus signal is presented to the sender (speaker) until the call is disconnected as shown in FIG. , Inform the caller that you are busy.
[0050]
In addition, during the conversation in the method after S517 described above, communication with the other party can be performed by using the following tactile stimulation method, such as listening to the listener, re-listening, or canceling the speaker's key input error or conversation. Can tell.
[0051]
For example, the listener presses the switch 31 of the six-finger Braille terminal 15 or the cursor movement key (←) of the keyboard 13 when the conversation is unknown. When the computer 11 detects the pressing of the switch 31 or the cursor movement key, it sends a “rehearsal signal” to the speaker. The “rehearsal signal” is indicated by DISP4 in FIG. When the computer 1 on the speaker side receives the “rehearsal signal”, the six-finger Braille terminal 5 presents a tactile stimulus of the DISP 4. Further, the listener's friendship is transmitted using the tactile stimulus of DISP5 shown in FIG.
[0052]
By the way, as a method of correcting a statement in a 6-finger braille conversation, the correction is transmitted by reciprocating a finger placed on the back of the opponent's hand to the left and right. Therefore, the cancellation on the speaker side is transmitted using the tactile stimulus of DISP 6 shown in FIG.
[0053]
The above-mentioned DISP 6 is driven by a time difference with a delay of 6 fingers of 0.1 sec with a constant frequency of vibration for 0.5 sec, with a rest time to 0 sec for 0.5 sec, and the Braille input key unit 23 → 22 → 21 → 24 → 25 → It is presented to each finger in the order of 26. Therefore, although the stimulation site | part to each finger | toe is stationary, the apparent movement of the tactile sensation is produced by stimulating each finger one by one under the above conditions. As described above, by sequentially presenting the stimulus at an appropriate time difference in the above order in the presenting unit of the six-finger Braille terminal 5, it is possible to give the same feeling as in the correction operation in the case of the finger Braille. The stimulation order may be reversed.
[0054]
As described above, the embodiment of performing the remote communication with the communication device according to the present invention using the 6-finger Braille terminal has been described. However, the start and end of the conversation, the acquisition of the right to speak, and the re-listening of the speaker A speech correction or the like may be presented on a stimulation site other than the finger pad on the 6-finger Braille terminal. In addition, the method of remote communication represented by a 6-finger braille terminal is suitable for presentation by using characters on a monitor device which is another output device, speech by a speech synthesizer, or stimulus pins on a braille pin display. It is obvious that the method can be applied to the method of notifying the character data and the state of conversation.
[0055]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, between persons with disabilities in communication, or between persons with disabilities in communication and healthy persons, while presenting the re-communication and attribution of the transmission right to the other party together with the conversation contents. In the same way as oral conversation, real-time performance can be improved, remote communication of Braille information can be implemented, and there is an effect that barriers to information transmission due to obstacles can be eliminated.
