In addition, the meaning of the contents may not be understood, lack of realism, and receive a different image.
[0010]
(2) In the case of notification by reading by the voice generation means, the contents cannot be confirmed in a list like the notification by the display means, and since it is read in time series, it may be impossible to quickly understand who the mail is from.
[0011]
(3) When notifying e-mail information by voice generation means, when converting from text to voice, reading out the sender's first and last name is difficult to guess by referring to the sentences before and after, and it is difficult to distinguish You ’ll either read it aloud or read it in a specific way. For this reason, in the case of a surname with a special reading, or when there are multiple reading people with the same surname or first name in the same string, a reading error occurs, the sender is unknown, and the content of the email However, things that can't be understood can happen.
[0012]
▲ 4 ▼ Also, if the sender is a relative, etc., and there are multiple people with the same address and the same surname, even if the expression “who is the name of the place” is used, it is difficult to identify the sender and the e-mail content cannot be understood. There is a case.
[0013]
▲ 5 In addition, there is no realism when reading from a male sound even when the sender is a woman, or when reading from a Tokyo accent even though the sender is an Osaka person. There is a possibility of misunderstanding the sender.
[0014]
(6) Furthermore, when the recipient who received the e-mail is the first sender, there may be cases where the sender does not have information about the sender, and there is a case where it is not clear what kind of voice is read to match the person's image.
[0015]

The sender's information is added like “Sachiko Furukawa” in the sender information 713 after the information conversion.
[0051]
For the mail text 712 in FIG. 5A, refer to the character string “Sachiko Furukawa” in the first and last name items 52 of the personal information 50a, and match the character string “Sachiko Furukawa” with the character string excluding the space. The character string is corrected by separating the first name and last name in the text notation, and “Sachiko Furukawa” is obtained. Furthermore, the information in the reading kana item 53 is applied to convert the information, and “(Kawakawa Sachiko)” is read out like the mail information 714 after the information conversion. Here, as a notation example after information conversion, the contents to be read out are indicated as text.
[0052]
On the other hand, in the conversion shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the personal information 50a is referred to from the sender mail address 721 shown in FIG. 6A in the same manner as in the above case (FIG. 5). Is specified in the row of address 512. Next, the sender information 721 in FIG. 6A is converted into “Yukiko Furukawa” as indicated by reference numeral 723 in FIG. 6B, and the mail text 722 in FIG. 6B is converted as indicated by reference numeral 724 in FIG.
[0053]
By the information conversion described in FIGS. 5 and 6, the same character string “Sachiko Furukawa” can be divided into “Kawakawa Sachiko” and “Yukiko Furukawa”, and the surname and first name You can also add a break.
[0054]
Also, as shown in FIGS. 5B and 6B, by sending the sender information 713 and 723 before the mail text 714 and 724, the recipient recognizes the sender and the text. This makes it easier for the recipient (user) to understand the content.
[0055]
Next, FIG. 7A shows a third example of the e-mail information. FIG. 7B shows the e-mail information of FIG. An example of the result of conversion is shown.
[0056]
Similar to the first and second examples described above, the personal information 50a is referred to based on the sender mail address 731 shown in FIG. Next, referring to the address field 54 of the personal information 50a, the sender information is converted to “Taro Furukawa (Furukawa, Tokyo)” as shown in Example 733. Further, the mail text 732 shown in FIG. 7A is converted as in the conversion example 734 shown in FIG. 7B, similarly to the sender information.
[0057]

It can be divided into “Furukawaro in Tokyo” and “Furokawaro in Osaka” shown in FIG. 9 (B), and the contents of the e-mail can be communicated to the user more easily.
[0063]
Next, FIG. 10 (A) shows a sender conversion notification table for creating sender notification information 731, 723, 733, 743, 753 as shown in FIGS. 5 (B) to 9 (B). 1 ▼ and {2} are shown. The table {circle around (1)} is a table that uses a reading pseudonym of personal information as shown in FIGS. 5 (B), 6 (B), and 8 (B). The table {circle around (2)} is a table that uses the address and reading pseudonym of the personal information as shown in FIGS. 7 (B) and 9 (B). Tables (1) and (2) in FIG. 10 (A) are conversion tables that are converted so as to be more easily informed by adding a sentence “From ~” to the notification information.
[0064]
FIG. 10B shows name conversion notification tables {circle around (1)} and {circle around (2)} for creating information to be notified by converting the name in the body of the electronic mail. The name conversion notification table {circle around (1)} is an example using the reading pseudonym of the personal information, and {circle around (2)} is an example using the address of the personal information and the reading pseudonym. This name conversion notification table {circle around (2)} is a conversion table having contents that can be notified more easily by writing an address and a reading pseudonym together.
[0065]
Next, an information processing process common to the conversion examples of the e-mail information described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 9 will be described with reference to the processing flow of the personal adaptive conversion unit shown in FIG.
[0066]
First, a mail address part (eg, 711 in FIG. 5A) is extracted from the received electronic mail (step S11), and then the extracted mail address is compared with the address part (eg, 511) of the personal information 50a. (Step S12). Next, the personal information in the address line that matches the mail address is extracted (step S13).
[0067]
Next, from the extracted personal information, using the sender notification conversion table (1), (2) as shown in FIG. 10 (A), the sender notification information (for example, 713 shown in FIG. 5 (B)). Is created and notified (step S14).
[0068]
Next, the received mail text (for example, 714 in FIG. 5B) is compared with the first and last name parts of the personal information extracted in step S13, and if they match, as shown in FIG. 10B. Using the name conversion notification tables (1) and (2), replacing with the extracted items of personal information, for example, a text as shown at 714 in FIG. 5B is created and notified (step S15). ).
[0069]
In the above-described embodiment, the first and last name items 52, the reading pseudonym 53, and the address 54 of the personal information 50a are used using the conversion tables (1) and (2) as shown in FIG. You may use the item 55 of information in the information 50a. In this case, for example, by referring to the personal information 50a from the sender's e-mail address, the sender is converted into information such as "Aunt's ...", "Uncle's ...", etc. The contents can be made easier to understand.
[0070]
Further, the sex item 56 in the personal information 50a may be used. For example, by referring to the sex item 56 of the personal information 50a from the sender's e-mail address, the information is converted so that it is read out with a female sound if the sender is a female, and a male sound is read if the sender is a male. The contents can be made easier to understand.
[0071]
Furthermore, the method for reading out accents and the like in the text-to-speech conversion unit (speech generating means) 61 may be changed in accordance with the information in the address field 54 of the personal information 50a. For example, referring to the address field 54 of the personal information 50a from the sender's e-mail address, if the sender is a Kansai address, information is converted so that it is read out with Kansai accent and intonation, while if the sender is a Kanto address, the Kanto accent and By converting the information so that it is read out by intonation and reading it separately, the contents can be made easier for the user to understand.
[0072]
Moreover, you may make it use the personal information attached to the received email as personal information. For example, when the sender sends an e-mail, the sender information corresponding to the item content of one person (one line) in the example of the personal information 50a as shown in FIG. 4 is attached to the e-mail as attached data. You may make it transmit. The electronic mail with the attached data is received by the device as in the above embodiment, and the attached information is used as personal information, so that even if the sender does not have the personal information in advance, as described above E-mail information conversion and information addition can be performed, and e-mail information that can be easily understood by the recipient can be obtained.
[0073]

[0074]
Therefore, according to the present invention, the received e-mail information is adapted to the personal information of the e-mail address and information processing is performed, so that the content of the received e-mail (the sender and the content of the e-mail body) is converted into text-to-speech. Can be reported correctly and easily.
[0075]
That is, it is possible to prevent erroneous reading in the notification of the mail, and to express who the sender is to the user in an easy-to-understand manner. For example, if there is a person with the same surname or the same name, or there are different readings with the same character string, the meaning of the reading, delimiter, accent position, intonation, etc. is correctly expressed so that the meaning can be understood. A rich and accurate image can be communicated to the recipient.
[0076]
In the present invention, since the e-mail notification means is the notification means by the sound generation means other than the display notification means, the receiver can recognize the contents without looking at the screen of the terminal device. Therefore, the recipient can check the mail while performing other work.
[0077]
Further, in the present invention, since the voice generating means for text-to-speech conversion is used, it is not necessary to handle a large amount of data as in the case of using voice data as the voice generating means, and the communication time can be realized in the same way as in the case of text. It is possible to reduce the memory usage and the communication cost.
[0078]

[0080]
In one embodiment, since an address is used as personal information, it is easy to specify the sender and to understand the contents of the e-mail. In particular, when there are multiple people with the same surname or who have the same reading, it is easier to identify the sender by supplementing all or part of the address information and understand the contents of the received e-mail. .
[0081]
In addition, since other embodiments use the relationship between the individual and the recipient as personal information, supplementary information of the sender is notified, the sender can be easily identified, and the contents of the e-mail can be easily understood. In particular, it is effective to supplement the relationship information when there are a plurality of relatives and the like who have the same address and the same surname.
[0082]
In addition, since one embodiment uses gender as personal information, it is possible to distinguish between male and female sounds by means of voice generation depending on the gender of the sender, so that realism can be further improved and the sender can be easily identified. This makes it easier to understand the contents of e-mails.
[0083]
In another embodiment, since the reading method of accent, intonation, etc. in the sound generating means is changed according to the address of the personal information, the realism can be further improved, the sender can be easily identified, and the contents of the e-mail can be changed. Easy to understand.
[0084]
In one embodiment, since personal information attached to an e-mail is used, an e-mail from the first sender is received, or a small, low-cost terminal device that does not have much memory capacity.
