  In recent years, digital contents have been distributed through communication networks such as the Internet against the background of progress in information processing technology and communication line speedup, and various proposals have been made regarding production techniques for digital contents to be distributed.

  For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 propose a technique for producing a program by searching and collecting contents such as video and audio that make up a program based on the contents of the program such as program title, broadcast date, and broadcast content. Has been.

However, when producing a program, particularly a program composed of content such as narration (narration) by narrator and music, harmony between narration and content becomes important. In other words, for example, if the narration is uplifting and the narration is up-tempo at the time of program production, but the music used in the program is slow tempo, there is no unity as a whole program, Can also be uncomfortable.
Moreover, even if the narrator is the same, the viewer's impression of the program may differ from the narration depending on the mood and emotion when talking about the narration. Therefore, it is desirable to reflect the feeling when talking about narration, etc., even in the same narrator in the selection of content used for the program.

In this way, in a system that searches and collects content used for a program and produces the program, it is suitable for the content of the program and is not used for the program, but narrates or talks about the narration. It is necessary to use content that harmonizes with Narrator's mood and emotions.

  The voice analysis unit 12 is a means for performing voice analysis of narration.

  Here, an example of the voice analysis method will be described.

First, for the basic voice k stored in the basic voice DB1, the signal level strength A (k), high / low H (k), and silent part ratio M (k) are determined (specified).
As a method for determining A (k), for example, the signal level of the basic voice k is determined by classifying it into five stages by comparison with a predetermined threshold (A (k) = 1, 2, 3, 4). , 5). It is assumed that information indicating the threshold value and the classification is stored in a means (not shown) in the system 10.
As a determination method of H (k), for example, the basic speech k is classified and determined in five stages by a technique such as short-time Fourier transform or subband analysis (H (k) = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,).
As a method for determining M (k), for example, the ratio of the time of the silent part to the total time of the basic voice k is determined by classifying into five stages compared with a predetermined threshold (M (k) = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

  For narration n stored in the narration DB 2, A (n), H (n), and M (n) are determined in the same manner as the basic voice k.

Next, A (k) and A (n), H (k) and H (n), M (k) and H (n) are compared, and a pattern corresponding to the combination of the magnitude relationships is determined as a criterion. Obtained from DB3.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of information stored in the determination criterion DB 3, and determination results for the determination indexes “signal level (A)”, “high / low (H)”, and “silent portion ratio (M)”. It shows that a pattern identifier is stored in association with each combination of “≧” and “<”.
The symbol “≧” in the figure indicates that the voice component of the narration is larger (A), higher (H), and larger (M) than the voice component of the basic voice. On the other hand, the symbol “<” indicates that the voice component of the narration is smaller (A), lower (H), and smaller (M) than the voice component of the basic voice.

  Here, for example, when A (k) <A (n), H (k) <H (n), and M (k)> M (n), the intensity is high during narration recording, the pitch is high, and there is no sound. Since the part is also short, it can be determined that the narrator has actively spoken.

Thus, the voice components A, H, and M of the basic voice k and the narration n are compared, and the narration n is pattern-classified by the combination of the magnitude relationships. In this example in which three types of audio components are compared, the narration n can be classified into any of eight patterns (= 2 ³ ).

  Note that when patterning the narration n, instead of a simple combination of the comparison results of the audio components, the specific audio components may be weighted and compared in magnitude.

The content selection unit 13 is means for selecting music corresponding to the result of voice analysis of narration from music data stored in the content DB 4.

  Next, a method in which the narrator creates a program using the system 10 will be described.

  The narrator first registers his basic audio data in the system 10 prior to the production of the program.

FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a menu screen displayed on the terminal 1 by the system 10. The narrator operates the terminal 1 to access the system 10 and browses the screen W1.
In the following description, it is assumed that the screen displayed by the system 10 on the terminals 1 and 2 is created as a Web page. That is, the system 10 operates as a Web server, receives an HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) request from a Web browser operating on the terminals 1 and 2, and displays each screen as a response to the request to the terminals 1 and 2. Send and display.

On the screen W1, so-called link type images (hereinafter simply referred to as “buttons”) B11 and B12 simulating buttons are displayed.
In the screen W1, when the narrator selects one of the buttons B11 and B12 displayed on the screen W1 using information input means such as the mouse of the terminal 1, information indicating which button is selected is displayed from the terminal 1. It is configured to be transmitted to the system 10. The system 10 performs information processing according to information received from the terminal 1.

  In each of the screens described below, when a displayed button is selected, information specifying the selected button is transmitted from the terminal to the system 10, and the system 10 receives information received from the terminal, That is, information processing corresponding to the button selected by the narrator is performed.

When the button B11 on the screen W1 is selected by the narrator, the system 10 transmits the screen W2 shown in FIG. 12 to the terminal 1 for display.
When the narrator inputs information such as a name on the screen W2 and selects the button B21, the information input on the screen W2 is transmitted from the terminal 1 to the system 10, and the system 10 issues a narrator ID and a password. The information is stored in a narrator storage unit (not shown) in the system 10 in association with information such as a name received from the terminal 1. Further, the system 10 transmits a screen W3 shown in FIG. 13 displaying the issued narrator ID and password to the terminal 1.
When the narrator selects the button B31 on the screen W3, the present system 10 transmits the screen W4 shown in FIG.

When the button B41 displayed on the screen W4 is selected, the recording program operating in the terminal 1 starts storing narrator's voice data (basic voice data) input from information input means such as a microphone of the terminal 1. When the button B42 is selected, the storage is terminated. The voice data is stored in a storage unit in the terminal 1.
When the button B43 is selected, the reproduction program operating in the terminal 1 outputs the voice data of the narrator stored in the storage means in the terminal 1 to the information output means such as the speaker of the terminal 1.
When the button B44 is selected, the voice data of the narrator stored in the storage means is transmitted to the system 10.
The system 10 stores the narrator basic voice data received from the terminal 1 in the basic voice DB 1 in association with the previously issued narrator ID.

The narrator who registered the basic audio data produces a program according to the following procedure.
Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to the sequence diagram shown in FIG.

[Registration of narration]
First, narration registration processing in the present system 10 will be described.
When the narrator selects the button B12 on the screen W1 shown in FIG. 11, the system 10 transmits the screen W5 shown in FIG. When the narrator inputs the narrator ID and password on the screen W5 and selects the button B51, the narrator ID and password input on the screen W5 are transmitted to the system 10. The system 10 authenticates the narrator by determining whether or not the narrator ID and password received from the terminal 1 are stored in association with the narrator storage unit.

When it is determined that the narrator ID received from the terminal 1 is associated with the password and stored in the narrator storage unit, the system 10 transmits a screen W6 shown in FIG. When the narrator selects the button B61, the system 10 transmits a screen W7 shown in FIG.
The narrator inputs the narration title on the screen W7. The narration title is information that is referred to when the narrator specifies the narration at the time of program production to be described later, and FIG. 17 shows that “delicious curry eaten in Ginza” is input.

Next, the narrator inputs a narration (S1 in FIG. 10). That is, when the button B71 is selected by the narrator, the recording program operating on the terminal 1 starts storing the narration of the narrator input from the microphone of the terminal 1 in the storage means in the terminal 1, and the button B72 is selected. Then, the memory is terminated.
When the button B73 is selected, the playback program operating in the terminal 1 outputs the narration stored in the storage means from the speaker of the terminal 1.
When button B74 is selected, the narration (audio data) stored in the storage means is transmitted to the system 10.

  The system 10 receives the narration from the terminal 1 using the narration receiving unit 11 (S2), and issues a narration ID for identifying the narration. The system 10 then stores the received narration, the issued narration ID, the narrator ID input on the screen W5, and the narration title input on the screen W7 in the narration DB2.

[Voice analysis of narration]
Next, narration voice analysis processing by the system 10 will be described.
The system 10 analyzes the voice of the narration received from the terminal 1 using the voice analysis unit 12 (S3).
The voice analysis specifies the basic voice data stored in the basic voice DB 1 in association with the narrator ID received from the terminal 1 and the voice components of the narration stored in the narration DB 2 in association with the narrator ID. The comparison is performed by reading the pattern ID corresponding to the comparison result from the determination reference DB 3.
That is, for example, in the example shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, “My name is ... the sun that is stored in the basic voice DB 1 in association with the narrator ID“ U1 ”. . and "the narrator ID" U1 "and associated stored in narration DB2 with" Hello. each audio components of ... "(determination index) identifying and were compared, the comparison result is" If “≧”, “≧”, and “≧”, the pattern ID “PT1” is read from the determination criterion DB3.

[Select Content]
Next, content selection processing by the system 10 will be described.
After voice analysis of the narration, the system 10 uses the content selection unit 13 to select the content stored in the content DB 4 in association with the pattern ID read from the determination criterion DB 3 (S4). The content ID of the selected content is stored in the narration DB 2 in association with the narration ID of the voice-analyzed narration.

Here, when there are a plurality of music corresponding to the result of the voice analysis, for example, the system 10 is configured to store the music selected by the narrator from the plurality of music in association with the narration. . That is, the system 10 transmits information such as the name and description of music corresponding to the content ID selected using the content selection unit 13 to the terminal 1 (S5).
FIG. 18 is an example of a screen displayed on the terminal 1 by the system 10. The screen W8 displays a list of names and explanations of three music corresponding to the result of the voice analysis of the narration, that is, the music stored in the content DB 4 in association with the same pattern ID as the narration pattern ID. Yes. Information such as the name of the music is information stored in the content DB 4 in association with the content ID.

The system 10 may be configured to change the display order of the music information based on the narrator's past selection history when transmitting the music information list to the terminal 1. That is, for example, information on music corresponding to the content ID stored in the history DB 5 in association with the pattern ID selected as a result of the voice analysis of the narration is displayed at the top of the screen W8. Display with higher priority.
FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing an example of information stored in the history DB 5. When a narrator with a narrator ID “U1” has registered a narration in the past, the registered narration pattern ID is “PT1”. In some cases, music with a content ID “C1” is selected, and when the pattern ID is “PT4”, music with a content ID “C6” is selected. Therefore, for example, if the pattern ID of the narration registered this time is “PT1”, the music whose content ID is “C1” is preferentially displayed.

  On the screen W8, buttons B81, B82, and B83 are displayed for the narrator to select when listening to each music displayed in the list. That is, when the narrator selects the button B81, the content ID corresponding to “Song Title 1” is transmitted from the terminal 1 to the system 10, and the system 10 stores the music stored in the content DB 4 in association with the received content ID. A part or all of the data is transmitted to the terminal 1. The terminal 1 reproduces the received music data using a reproduction program operating inside the terminal 1 and outputs it from the speaker of the terminal 1 or the like.

  FIG. 18 shows that the narrator selects the music of “Song Title 1” from among the three musics of “Song Title 1”, “Song Title 2”, and “Song Title 3” (S6). When the button B84 is selected by the narrator, the content ID corresponding to “Song Title 1” is transmitted from the terminal 1 to the present system 10, and the present system 10 uses the received content ID as the narration ID of the voice analysis narration. Are stored in the narration DB 2 in association with each other (S7).

  As described above, each time the narration is received from the narrator, the system 10 analyzes the voice of each narration and stores the music selected based on the result in association with the received narration.

[Edit Program]
Next, program editing processing by the system 10 will be described.
The narration constituting the program is stored in the system 10 and the system 10 uses the program editing unit 16 to edit the program as described below, with the music corresponding to the narration selected. (S8).

  First, when the button B62 on the screen W6 shown in FIG. 16 is selected by the narrator who is also the program editor, the system 10 displays the screen W9 shown in FIG. The narrator inputs the program title of the program to be edited in the screen W9. As will be described later, the program title is information that a listener refers to when selecting a program to be viewed. The example of FIG. 19 shows that the narrator inputs the program title “Today's Word 4/25”.

When the button B91 is selected, the program title input on the screen W9 is transmitted from the terminal 1 to the present system 10.
When receiving the program title, the system 10 issues a program ID for identifying the program and stores it in the program DB 7 in association with the received program title.
Further, the present system 10 reads out the narrator ID of the narrator that has input the program title, that is, the narration title stored in the narration DB 2 in association with the narrator ID input on the screen W5 shown in FIG. A screen W10 is generated and displayed on the terminal 1.

The screen W10 displays a list of narration titles for each narration registered (recorded) by the narrator so far. The screen W10 is configured so that the narrator can specify the playback order of the narration that constitutes the program.
In the example shown in FIG. 20, there are three narrations recorded by this narrator, and it is narrator that two narrations “Delicious curry eaten in Ginza” and “Ending” are used to compose a program. Indicates that it is specified. In addition, the narrator indicates that “delicious curry eaten in Ginza” is the first and “ending” is the second as the narration playback order.

  On the screen W10, buttons B101, B102, and B103 are displayed for the narrator to select when listening to each narration displayed in the list.

When the button B104 on the screen W10 is selected, information for identifying the narration constituting the program specified on the screen W10 and the reproduction order of each narration is transmitted from the terminal 1 to the system 10.
When the system 10 receives information identifying the narration constituting the program from the terminal 1, the system 10 assigns the name of the corresponding music to the narration designated by W10, that is, for each narration constituting the program being produced. To display. FIG. 21 is an example of a screen displayed on the terminal 1, and the screen W11 displays that the music with the name “Song Title 1” corresponds to the narration of the narration title “Our Curry Eat in Ginza”. .

  On the screen W11, buttons B111 and B112 are displayed for the narrator to select when listening to narration or music.

The screen W11 is configured to allow the narrator to specify the music insertion method for narration, that is, the playback order of narration and music. Examples of music insertion methods for narration include, for example, the case where music is also played simultaneously while playing the corresponding narration (so-called BGM), and the case where music playback is started after the end of narration playback.
As another example of the music insertion method with respect to the narration, the screen W11 can be designated to reproduce only the narration (no music is reproduced) or only the music is reproduced (no narration is reproduced). It may be configured.

Further, the screen W11 may be configured such that the narration or music playback location, the start timing or the end timing of the narration or music playback, and the like can be designated.
That is, for example, when the music being played is faded out, the screen W11 may be configured to allow the narrator to specify the time from the start of music playback to the fade-out (music playback location).
Further, for example, the example shown in FIG. 2B shows a state in which the narration (1) is reproduced after the content (1) is reproduced and a predetermined time elapses. The screen W11 may be configured so that the narrator can specify the time from the start of playback of 1) to playback of narration (1) (music playback timing).

  The screen W11 shown in FIG. 21 displays a narration that is reproduced based on the music insertion method for the narration specified by the narrator and a button B113 that the narrator selects when listening to the music.

  When the button B114 is selected, information specified by the narrator on the screen W11, that is, information for specifying a music insertion method for the narration is transmitted from the terminal 1 to the system 10.

  Thus, the narrator designates the music insertion method for the narration on the screen W11 for each narration selected on the screen W10 shown in FIG.

  The system 10 is information indicating the program configuration, such as the narration that configures the program specified on the screen W10, the playback order of each narration, and the method of inserting music for the narration specified on the screen W11. Is received from the terminal 1 and stored in the program DB 7 in association with the program title and program ID input on the screen W9.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of information stored in the program DB 7, in which a program ID “PG1”, a program title “Today's Word 4/25”, and program configuration information are stored in association with each other. It shows that.
Note that the program configuration information “N11-C1-N12” shown in the figure includes the narration with the narration ID “N11”, the music with the content ID “C1”, and the narration with the narration ID “N12”. It is configured and shown to be reproduced in this order.

  As described above, the narrator uses the system 10 to include the narration recorded by the narrator itself and the music selected according to the result of the voice analysis of the narration, and the playback order specified by the narrator. It is possible to produce a program that is played based on the above.

[Program distribution]
Next, a program distribution process by the system 10 will be described.
As will be described below, the system 10 uses the program distribution unit 14 to distribute a program produced and edited by a narrator to a listener's terminal based on a request from the listener.

  First, the system 10 displays a screen W12 shown in FIG. 22 on the terminal 2 in response to a request from the listener. A list of program titles of programs stored in the system 10 is displayed on the screen W12. The program title displayed on the screen W12 is read from the program DB 7.

Next, when the listener selects the title of the program desired to be distributed and selects the button B124, the information specifying the program selected by the listener is transmitted from the terminal 2 to the system 10. The example of FIG. 22 shows a situation where the listener has selected the program title “Today's Event 4/25”.
When the system 10 receives information identifying a program from the terminal 2, the system 10 reads narration and music constituting the program from the narration DB 2 and the content DB 4 based on the program configuration information stored in the program DB 7, and program configuration information The read narration or the like is transmitted to the terminal 2 so as to be played back in the playback order specified in.

  On the screen W12 shown in FIG. 22, buttons B121, B122, and B123 are displayed that allow the listener to select a part of each program (for example, the beginning of a narration constituting the program).

  According to the embodiment described above, the narrator's mood and emotion when talking about the narration that constitutes the program are determined from the voice analysis result of the narration, and the content that harmonizes with the determined narrator's mood, etc. The program used can be produced.

  In the embodiment described above, the program is an example composed of two types of electronic information, narration and music. However, the number of types of electronic information constituting the program is not limited to this, and the number is three or more. There may be. That is, for example, in addition to music, there is an advertisement provided by an advertiser such as a company, and this system may be used when a program is produced by selecting music and advertisement in harmony with narration. .

  In the embodiment described above, the program produced by this system includes a narration registered by a single narrator. However, a program including a narration registered by a plurality of narrators is produced. You may comprise this system.

In the embodiment described above, it is the narrator who registered the narration that edits the program using this system, but this system is used when a person other than the narrator produces the program. May be used.
