Description

  The present invention relates to a voice guide device and a voice guide method for voice guidance of the position and use of each button of a remote controller.

  In recent years, the concept of “universal design” has been generalized, and there is a demand for devices that can be easily operated regardless of age, gender, and physical disabilities. As one of means for realizing such a device, a function of reading a voice reading function and reading an operation explanation and a display content of a screen is disclosed.

  As a device equipped with the above-described reading function, for example, screen information indicating whether or not a character string or an explanatory text that can be synthesized is included for each display screen that can display a character string and each display screen that should be displayed on the display unit A voice synthesizing unit that synthesizes and outputs at least one of a character string displayed on the display unit, or an explanation stored in advance in association with the character string, and a display unit Each time the display screen is switched, the above screen information is referenced to determine whether or not the current display screen includes a character string or an explanatory text that can be read out by speech synthesis. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  In Patent Document 1, since the user can confirm in advance whether or not the character string can be read out, the user's anxiety and dissatisfaction can be reduced.

  As another example, display means for displaying a plurality of contents on a single screen, and contents for which a character string related to itself is read out among the contents displayed on the screen are read out. In some cases, there is a setting unit that sets a display state of a screen displayed by the display unit so as to notify that the existing content is distinguishable from other content (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  In Patent Document 2, by providing display content efficiently and making it possible to distinguish content being read out from other content, it is possible to provide the user with read-out data in an easy-to-understand manner.

Further, the 2-channel speaker 103 outputs a read-out voice based on the left audio signal 112 and the right audio signal 113 input from the audio output unit 102. On the display 109, the video signal 121 output from the screen output unit 108 is displayed.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing components of the reading data 111 according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the reading data 111 includes reading target text 201 and position parameters 202.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing components of the remote control information request 115 according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the remote control information request 115 includes a pressed remote control code 301.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing components of the remote control information response 116 according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the remote control information response 116 includes a determination result 401, a completion flag 402, a remote control button (button of the remote controller 105) description 403, a remote control button name A404, a remote control button name B405, a remote control button position 406, and 2 It consists of dimensional coordinates 407.

  FIG. 5 is an external view showing an arrangement position of buttons of the remote controller 105 according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the remote controller 105 includes a power button, a broadcast switching button (terrestrial digital button, BS (Broadcast Satellite) button, CS (Communication Satellite) button), numeric buttons 1 to 12, and channel (CH) up. / Down button, voice guide button, mute button, volume up / down button, menu button, program guide button, up / down / left / right button, and enter button. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, remote control buttons assuming a general television broadcast receiver are arranged.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the contents of the remote control information table according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the remote control information table includes ID, remote control code, remote control button name, coordinates, remote control button position, and remote control information text information for each button of the remote controller 105. The remote control information table is held in advance in a nonvolatile memory (not shown) provided in the voice guide device according to the present embodiment.

  Next, an operation (remote control guide) when the operator turns on the power for the first time after purchase will be described.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing processing of the remote control guide according to the embodiment of the present invention. When the voice guide device according to the present embodiment is turned on, the reading-out information generation unit 101 displays an initial activation flag indicating whether or not it is the first activation from a nonvolatile memory (not shown) provided in the voice guidance device. Read. If the read initial activation flag is “true”, it is determined that the activation is the initial activation, and the reading information generation unit 101 shifts to the “remote control guide mode” (step S701).

  The reading information generation unit 101 generates reading data 111 including the reading target text 201 to notify the operator that the remote control guide has been started, and transmits the reading data 111 to the audio output unit 102.

  The audio output unit 102 analyzes the received reading data 111 and, based on the analysis result, the left audio signal 112 output to the left (L) of the 2-channel speaker 103 and the right audio signal 113 output to the right (R). Are individually generated, and the generated left audio signal 112 and right audio signal 113 are transmitted to the 2-channel speaker 103.

  The two-channel speaker 103 receives the left audio signal 112 and the right audio signal 113 and outputs them as read-out audio. By outputting the reading voice from the two-channel speaker 103, the operator can recognize that the remote control guide has been started (step S702). At this time, the method for canceling the remote control guide mode is also read out. In the present embodiment, the remote control guide mode can be canceled when an arbitrary button of the remote controller 105 is continuously pressed for 3 seconds or more. Specifically, it reads: “Start remote control guide now. If you want to stop remote control guide, press and hold any button for more than 3 seconds.”

  After completing the output of the reading voice, the voice output unit 102 transmits a reading completion notification 114 to the reading information generation unit 101.

  When the reading information generation unit 101 receives the reading completion notification 114, the reading information generation unit 101 transmits a remote control information request 115 to the remote control information unit 104. At this time, “0x00” is set in the pressed remote control code 301 included in the remote control information request 115.

  The remote control information unit 104 refers to the contents of the first list (first guide target button of the remote control guide, that is, the power button) whose ID is “1” from the remote control information table stored in the nonvolatile memory (not shown). The remote control button name A 404, the remote control button position 406, and the two-dimensional coordinate 407 included in the remote control information response 116 are set. When the remote control information response 116 is transmitted to the reading information generation unit 101, “1” is set to “guide ID” which is an internal variable of the remote control information unit 104 (step S703).

  Based on the received remote control information response 116, the read-out information generation unit 101 generates read-out data 111 that prompts the operator to press a button on the remote control 105, and transmits it to the audio output unit 102. The reading target text 201 included in the reading data 111 is generated by combining the remote control button name A 404 and the remote control button position 406. Specifically, "Please press the XX button. The button position is XX." “XX” indicates the remote control button name A404, and “XX” indicates the remote control button position 406. The position parameter 202 included in the read-out data 111 calculates the relative position from the center of the remote controller 105 based on the two-dimensional coordinates 407 included in the remote control information response 116, and the center of the remote controller 105 is the center. A value converted into a coordinate system (X = 0, Y = 0) is set. It is assumed that the position parameter 202 according to the present embodiment has 17 levels from -8 to +8 in both the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction.

  The voice output unit 102 analyzes the received reading data 111 and converts the reading target text 201 into voice data. In addition, based on the position parameter 202, the left audio signal output to the left side (L) of the two-channel speaker 103 so that the arrangement position relationship of the buttons can be perceived from the center of the remote controller 105 from the direction in which the read-out sound is heard. 112 and a right audio signal 113 to be output to the right side (R). That is, the audio output unit 102 generates and outputs left and right audio signals so that audio can be heard from the direction corresponding to the position of each button (remote control button) provided on the remote controller 105.

  Regarding the method of generating an audio signal in the audio output unit 102, various documents have disclosed techniques for perceiving the vertical and horizontal directions of audio using a two-channel speaker using human auditory characteristics ( For example, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2008-211834), Interaural Intensity Difference (IID) using a volume difference between sounds output from both speakers, and Interaural time difference using a time difference between sounds output from both speakers (IID: International Intensity Difference). It can be realized by using ITD: Internal Time Difference (HRD), head-related transfer function (HRTF), or the like.

  When the left audio signal 112 and the right audio signal 113 are input, the two-channel speaker 103 outputs a reading voice (the contents of the reading target text 201) (step S704).

  The reading information generation unit 101 transmits a screen display request 119 to the screen information generation unit 107 in synchronization with the reading voice output from the two-channel speaker 103. The screen display request 119 includes a remote control button name corresponding to the guiding ID (guide target button ID).

  The screen information generation unit 107 generates image data 120 having display contents for prompting the user to press the remote control button corresponding to the received guide ID, and transmits the image data 120 to the screen output unit 108.

  The screen display unit 108 converts the received image data 120 into a video signal 121 and outputs the video signal 121 to the display display 109.

  The display 109 displays the input video signal 121 on the display. After the display, the voice guide device waits for the operator to press the remote control button (step S705).

  When the operator presses the remote control button while waiting for the remote control button to be pressed, a remote control signal 117 is transmitted from the remote controller 105 to the operation receiving unit 105.

  The operation reception unit 106 converts the received remote control signal 117 into the remote control code 118 and transmits it to the reading information generation unit 101 (step S706).

  The reading information generation unit 101 sets the received remote control code 118 to the pressed remote control code 301 included in the remote control information request 115 and transmits it to the remote control information unit 104.

  The remote control information unit 104 determines whether or not the pressed button (the remote control button pressed by the operator) indicated by the received pressed remote control code 301 matches the guide target button (step S708), and information based on the determination result. Is set in the remote control information response 116 and transmitted to the read-out information generating unit 101.

  The reading information generation unit 101 combines the text data included in the received remote control information response 116 to generate the reading target text 201 included in the reading data 111. If the remote control button pressed by the operator is correct (when the pressed button and the target button match in step S708), the name of the pressed remote control button and the usage of the remote control button are read out. Specifically, “XX button was pressed. This button is □□.” “◯◯” indicates a remote control button name A 404, and “□□” indicates a remote control button description 403.

  If the remote control button pressed by the operator is wrong (when the pressed button and the target button match in step S708), the name of the pressed remote control button and the correct button are pressed again. Is read aloud. Specifically, “the XX button has been pressed. The △△ button is in XX”. “◯◯” indicates the remote control button name A 404, “ΔΔ” indicates the remote control button name B 405, and “XX” indicates the remote control button position 406.

  The reading information generation unit 101 transmits the generated reading data 111 to the voice output unit 102.

  The audio output unit 102 generates a left audio signal 112 and a right audio signal 113 based on the received reading data 111 and transmits the left audio signal 112 and the right audio signal 113 to the 2-channel speaker 103, and the reading audio is output from the 2-channel speaker 103. That is, if the determination result in step S708 is “true”, the description of the guide target button that matches the pressed remote control button is read out (step S709). If the determination result is “false”, the position of the guide target button is changed. It reads out again (step S712) and waits for the remote control button to be pressed (step S705). After the completion of reading, the voice output unit 102 transmits a reading completion notification 114 to the reading information generation unit 101.

  The reading information generation unit 101 transmits a screen display request 119 to the screen information generation unit 107 in synchronization with the reading voice output from the two-channel speaker 103 and instructs to update the screen display content (for example, described later) An instruction to update the screen display contents as shown in FIG. 11 or FIG. 12 is given.

  The read-out information generation unit 101 determines that the pressed button matches the guide target button in step S708 (the determination result is “true”), and the voice guidance has not been completed (“false” in step S710). In the case), the guidance target button of the next voice guide is set (step S713). That is, the voice guidance process for the next remote control button is performed.

  The above-described remote control guide is performed for all remote control buttons (repeated until “true” in step S710). Specifically, voice guidance is sequentially performed for remote control buttons whose IDs in the remote control information table shown in FIG. 6 are 1 (power button) to 29 (decision button). However, if the operator continuously presses any button for 3 seconds or more, the remote control guide is stopped (step S707).

  Next, a case where the remote control guide is completed will be described.

  When the reading of the remote control explanation text regarding the determination button which is the last ID (ID is 29) in the remote control information table is completed (step S709), the reading information generation unit 101 sets the completion flag 402 included in the received remote control information response 116. If the value is “true”, read-out data 111 indicating completion of the remote control guide is generated and transmitted to the audio output unit 102 (step S710).

  The audio output unit 102 generates a left audio signal 112 and a right audio signal 113 based on the received reading data 111 and transmits the left audio signal 112 and the right audio signal 113 to the 2-channel speaker 103. The two-channel speaker 103 that has received the left audio signal 112 and the right audio signal 113 outputs a read-out audio (step S711).

  The reading information generation unit 101 cancels the “remote control guide mode” and completes the remote control guide process. Further, “false” is set to the initial activation flag held in the nonvolatile memory (not shown) so that the remote control guide does not start at the next power activation.

  Next, the procedure for determining the remote control code and generating the remote control information response 116 performed by the remote control information unit 104 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing processing in the remote control information unit 104 according to the embodiment of the present invention. First, the remote control information unit 104 acquires the pressed remote control code 301 included in the remote control information request 115 received from the reading information generation unit 101 and sets it as an internal variable (step S801). Also, the guide ID held inside is acquired (step S802).

  After step S802, it is determined whether or not the pressed remote control code 301 matches the remote control code in the remote control information table corresponding to the guiding ID (step S803).

  If it is determined in step S803 that they match (determined as “true”), the operator has pressed the correct remote control button, so “true” is set in the determination result 401 of the remote control information response 116 ( Step S804). Further, a remote control explanation text for explaining the use of a button pressed from the remote control information table (a press button determined to be correct) is set in the remote control button explanation 403 of the remote control information response 116 (step S805).

  After step S805, it is determined whether the guiding ID is the last table in the remote control information table (step S806). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the guiding ID is “29”.

  If the determination in step S806 is “true”, it means that the guidance for all remote control buttons has been completed, so “true” is set in the completion flag 402 included in the remote control information response 116 (step S807), and remote control information is set. The response 116 is transmitted to the reading information generation unit 101 (step S811), and the process is terminated.

  If the determination in step S806 is “false”, the in-guide ID, which is an internal variable, is incremented by “+1” in order to start guiding the next remote control button (step S808).

  After step S808, the remote control button name and the remote control button position corresponding to the new guide ID are acquired from the remote control information table, and set to the remote control button name A404 and the remote control button position 406, respectively, included in the remote control information response 116. (Step S809).

  After step S809, “false” is set to the completion flag 402 of the remote control information response 116 (step S810), the remote control information response 116 is transmitted to the reading information generation unit 101 (step S811), and the process is terminated.

  If the determination in step S803 is “false”, it indicates that the remote control button pressed by the operator is different from the remote control button corresponding to the guide ID (that is, the pressed button and the guide target button are different). Prompt the user to press the correct remote control button again. The process will be described below.

  If the determination in step S803 is “false”, “false” is set in the determination result 401 included in the remote control information response 116 (step S812).

  After step S812, the coordinates of both buttons are obtained from the pressed remote control code 301 included in the remote control information request 115 and the remote control code corresponding to the guiding ID (the remote control code of the guide target button), Calculate the relative positional relationship as to whether there is a correct button (guide target button) in the direction, and generate an explanatory text (message that informs the position of the guide target button relative to the position of the push button) according to the positional relationship ( Step S813). The generated explanatory text is set at the remote control button position 406 included in the remote control information response 116 (step S114).

  After step S814, “false” is set to the completion flag 402 included in the remote control information response 116 (step S810), the remote control information response 116 is transmitted to the reading information generation unit 101 (step S811), and the process is terminated. .

  Next, a procedure for generating the remote control button position 406 included in the remote control information response 116 from the pressed remote control code 301 included in the remote control information request 115 and the remote control code of the guide target button in the remote control information unit 104 will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a process for acquiring the remote control button position 406 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  First, the coordinates of the pressed button corresponding to the pressed remote control code 301 included in the remote control information request 115 are acquired from the remote control information table and set in the internal variables Xu and Yu (step S901). Further, the coordinates of the guide target button are acquired from the remote control information table and set to the internal variables Xg and Yg (step S902).

  After step S902, the X-axis direction difference (Xg−Xu) between the coordinates of the guide target button and the press button is calculated as Lx, and the Y-axis direction difference (Yg−Yu) is calculated as Ly. Set (step S903).

  After step S903, it is determined whether or not the absolute values of Lx and Ly (distance between both remote control buttons) are equal to or greater than a preset threshold value (Lxs, Lys) (steps S904 and S905).

  In the determinations in step S904 and step S905, if at least one of the determinations is “true”, the expression using the relative positional relationship is difficult, so the remote control button position in the remote control information table is set in the remote control information response 116. The remote control button position 406 is set as it is (step S907).

  If both the determinations in steps S904 and S905 are “false”, the text to be set at the remote control button position 406 included in the remote control information response 116 is determined by the combination of Lx and Ly (step S906). . The text content corresponding to the combination of Lx and Ly is shown in FIG.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing read-out text contents for the positional relationship between the push button and the guide target button according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 10, when Lx is positive (Lx> 0), it indicates that the guide target button is on the right side of the remote controller 105 with respect to the pressed button, and when Lx is negative (Lx <0) This indicates that the guide target button is on the left side of the remote controller 105 with respect to the button. Further, when Ly is positive (Ly> 0), it indicates that the guide target button is below the remote controller 105 with respect to the pressed button, and when Ly is negative (Ly <0), the guided button is guided. It shows that the target button is above the remote controller 105. In this way, by combining Lx and Ly, it is possible to know where the guide target button is located with respect to the pressed button, and the positional relationship can be set as the text content to be read out.

  Next, display contents on the display 109 and a display control method will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12.

  11 and 12 are diagrams showing examples of display contents on the display 109 at the time of remote control guidance according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 11, a screen title 1101, a remote control image 1102, a push button information area 1103, a function explanation area 1104, and a function icon display area 1105 are displayed on the display 109. FIG. 11A and FIG. 12A are the same figure, and FIG. 11A is represented by a reference symbol as a representative.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, a character string that prompts the operator to press the “power” button of the remote control buttons is displayed in the press button information area 1103 and the “power” button of the remote control image 1102 is displayed. Change the display color. At this time, nothing is displayed in the function explanation area 1104 and the function icon display area 1105.

  As shown in FIG. 11B, when the operator presses the correct remote control button (“power” button), information on the remote control button (“power” button) pressed in the press button information area 1103 is displayed. In addition to the display, the function description area 1104 displays the function description of the remote control button pressed, and the function icon display area 1105 displays an icon associated with the button function. As described above, when the operator presses the correct remote control button, the display content on the display 109 is changed from FIG. 11A to FIG. 11B.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12B, when the operator presses an incorrect remote control button (for example, “BS” button), the remote control button (“BS” button) pressed in the pressed button information area 1103 And a text prompting the user to press the correct button again is displayed in the function explanation area 1104. At this time, nothing is displayed in the function icon display area 1105. In this way, when the operator presses an incorrect remote control button, the display content on the display 109 changes from FIG. 12A to FIG. 12B.

  From the above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to guide the arrangement position and usage of the remote control button only by voice without relying on the screen display. It is possible to learn the position and operation method of remote control buttons independently without relying on the user. Further, in the remote control guide, for each remote control button, after reading the arrangement position, the operator waits for the remote control button to be pressed and prompts the user to press again until the correct remote control button is pressed (that is, the correct remote control button is pressed). In this way, the operator can surely learn the position of the remote control button.

  In addition, elderly people and operators who are unfamiliar with the handling of equipment are guided using both voice reading and screen display, so it is easier to learn the position and operation method of remote control buttons. it can.

  In this embodiment, the remote control guide is automatically started when the operator turns on the power for the first time after purchase. However, a button (for example, a “voice guide” button) arranged on the remote controller 105 is provided. The remote control guide may be started when pressed, or an item may be added to a menu screen or the like, and the remote control guide may be started when the item is selected. In this way, since the operator can start the voice guide at an arbitrary timing, for example, it is possible to perform the remote control guide only by voice even while the screen such as the program guide is being displayed. It is possible to check the position and operation method of the remote control button without releasing the original screen display state and return to the original operation after the remote control guide is completed.

  In the present embodiment, the 2-channel speaker 103 is used for audio output. However, 5.1-channel surround speakers or headphones may be used, and by using these, the 2-channel speaker 103 may be used. It is possible to faithfully reproduce the direction of voice reading at the position of the remote control button.

  In this embodiment, the voice guidance of the remote control button is realized only by reading out the voice, but the operation sound is played when the remote control button is pressed, the determination result of the pressed remote control button, the start of reading after the state transition, etc. It is possible to perform a voice guide that is easier to understand by sounding a notification sound.
