JPH03246720A - Table data reading-out and collating system - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To read out and collate the table data which should be confirmed efficiently and is free from overlooking by constituting the system so that the data before an input can be confirmed with eyes, while listening to the inputted data with ears in a voice. CONSTITUTION:The system is provided with an utterance reading designating means 3 for designating how to read at the time of generating numerical data in a generated table, and an utterance sequence disignating means 4 for designating the sequence for uttering the data in the table. Also, this system is provided with an utterance information generating means 5 for generating utterance information for uttering the reading designated by the means 3 in order designated by the utterance sequence designating means 4, and a voice generating means 6 for generating voice, based on the utterance information. In such a state, with respect to the work for executing the confirmation by comparing alter- nately by visual observation, the data before inputting is confirmed with eyes, while listening to the inputted data with ears in a voice. In such a way, confirmation being efficient and free from overlooking can be executed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a tabulation device, and more particularly to a reading method for confirming input data in a table.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, inputted data in a table, such as a budget, has been confirmed by alternately comparing the data on the display screen with the data before input to confirm whether or not the data has been input correctly.

Another method is to output the table as a hard copy using a line printer or the like, and then compare the data alternately with the data before input to confirm whether or not the data has been input correctly.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional confirmation method described above, the entered table is displayed or printed out on a display screen or as a hard copy, and the data is alternately compared with the data before input for confirmation, which has the drawbacks of inefficiency and the possibility of oversights. be.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate such drawbacks, and to create tabular data that can be checked efficiently and without missing anything by visually checking the data before input while listening to the input data audibly. The purpose is to provide a reading method.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a table data reading method that allows data in a table tabulated by a tabulation device comprising an input means, a display means, and a control means to be confirmed with data before input. a voice reading designation means for specifying how to pronounce the numerical data in the created table; a voice order designation means for specifying the order in which the data in the table are voiced; and the voice order designation means. The apparatus further comprises a voice information generation means for generating voice information for uttering the pronunciations specified by the voice reading designation means in the specified order, and a voice generation means for generating voice based on the voice information. Features.

[Example] Next, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

This table data reading method consists of input means 1. display means 21 utterance reading designation means 31 utterance order designation means 41 utterance information generation means 5. It has a sound generating means 6° and a control means 7.

The input means 1 is for inputting data such as item names and numerical values in the table shown in FIG. 2, for example, and can be realized by a JIS keyboard or the like.

The display means 2 is for presenting the table input from the input means 1 to the user, and can be realized by a CRT display or the like.

The aloud reading designation means 3 specifies how to read the numerical data in the created table when it is spoken aloud.For example, should r 263 J be read as ``Nihyakurokujuusan''? , which specifies whether to read the number simply as a string of digits without adding place readings, that is, to read it as "Nii Roku San", and can be realized using the input means 1.

The utterance order specifying means 4 specifies the utterance order in the table of FIG. 2, such as "January".

Is it read horizontally like "r263", r1521"...?"Machine AJ, '263J, r31
3'', etc., to specify the order in which they should be read in the vertical direction, and can be realized using the input means 1.

The utterance information generating means 5 generates the utterance information in the order specified by the utterance order specifying means 4 and in the pronunciation specified by the utterance reading specifying means 3, for example, "Kikaie,""Nihyakurokujusan," and "Sanbyakujusan." It occurs as follows.

The sound generation means 6 can be a known device that generates sound upon receiving voice information.

The control means 7 controls the entire operation including the above-mentioned operation.

The operation of this embodiment will be explained using the table shown in FIG. 2 as an example.

The table shown in Figure 2 is created by normal tabulation, and the display means 2
shall be displayed on the page. In addition, to specify the reading aloud, inputting "1" from input means 1 will produce a place reading such as "Nihyakuroku-ju-san", and inputting "2" will produce a number string such as "Ni-roku-san J". The reading shall be specified.

Furthermore, to specify the speaking order, use the input means 1 to position the cursor on the item (“January”, “February” at the left end of FIG. 2, or “Machine A”, “Machine BJ” at the top end), and press “1”. If you input "2", it will be uttered in the horizontal direction, and if you input "2", it will be uttered in the vertical direction.

In the example of FIG. 2, [machine AJ, r263].

r313. When uttering in the order of ``1'', first input ``1'' using the utterance reading specifying means 3 to specify the ``place''.

Next, the utterance order specifying means 4 moves the cursor to the position of "machine A" and inputs "2".

This specifies that "Machine A" should speak in order in the vertical direction using the order reading.

Next, the utterance information generating means 5 generates the utterance information in the specified order and in the specified pronunciation, so that "machine A"r263'',
r31L+, . . . are generated in order as utterance information such as “Kikaie,” “Nihyakurokujusan,” “Sanbyakujusan,” and so on, and sent to the voice generating means 6.

The voice generating means 6 generates voice based on this voice information.

If you want to pronounce the number string reading in the order of "machine AJ, r263, r313", enter "2" using the voice reading designation means 3 to specify the number string reading, and then perform the same operation as above to utter the number string reading. As information, "Kikaie", "
"Nee Roku San", "San Ichi San", etc. are sent from the voice information generating means 5 to the voice generating means 6, and the desired utterances are obtained.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention replaces the work that was conventionally confirmed by visually comparing the data alternately, by visually confirming the data before input while listening to the input data with the voice. This has the effect of being efficient and ensuring that nothing is missed.
