[0004]

However, although the silver salt photographic type camera has a high resolution of an image to be captured, it is generally not suitable for continuously capturing a moving subject. On the other hand, a video camera can shoot / record a moving image. To reproduce the moving image, for example, a video tape as an image recording medium, a VCR as an image reproducing device, or a moving image is displayed. A monitor etc. is required. Since these are much heavier and bulkier than photographic paper, which is an output form of a silver salt photographic camera, there is a difficulty in handling and portability.

Further, by using the contents photographed / recorded by using these silver-halide photographic type cameras and video cameras, at the same time showing the continuous movement of the subject in a form excellent in handleability and portability, So far, there is no image display medium for displaying a still image at a specific moment in the series of movements in an easily viewable manner (for example, by enlarging the image showing the movement of the subject).

In view of this, the present invention uses the moving image and still image photographed / recorded by the above-mentioned integrated image photographing device or video camera to display the continuous movement of the subject in a form that is excellent in handleability and portability. In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide an image display medium that can draw a still image at a specific moment in the series of movements in an easy-to-see manner, and a manufacturing method thereof.

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, the image display medium is formed into a series of continuous images which are photographed and recorded by an image photographing device having a video photographing function. A field image or a frame image, or a field image or a frame image in which frames are taken at predetermined time intervals from these continuous field images or frame images and are arranged in time series and arranged in time series,
It is configured to display together with a still image corresponding to a specific field image or frame image in a moving image by printing it on one sheet of paper or combining it by printing on multiple sheets of paper. To do.

In the image display medium thus constructed,
A still image and a series of field images or frame images before and after it are displayed together. Further, a predetermined time interval, that is, a shooting time interval of a field image or frame image with frame skipping can be arbitrarily set according to the slow speed of the movement of the subject.

In addition, in the image display medium configured as described above, a series of continuous field images or frame images or frame-separated field images or frame images, or audio related to a still image is stored and reproduced. It is preferred to combine the means.

With this configuration, when the image display medium is viewed, a series of continuous field images or frame images or frame image skipped field images or frame images,
Alternatively, the sound related to the still image can be reproduced.

In addition, in the method of manufacturing the image display medium having the above-described structure, a series of field images or frame images and still images which form a moving image photographed and recorded by the image photographing device are reproduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION An image display medium according to an embodiment of the present invention and a method for manufacturing the same will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a first arrangement example of images on a sheet 1 used for the image display medium of the first embodiment. As the paper 1, a video printer paper or a silver halide photographic printing paper is used depending on the form of the image printing means (as described later).

On this paper 1, 2 is a predetermined time interval from a field image or a frame image which constitutes a moving image photographed / recorded by an integrated image photographing device or a video camera in order to display a continuous movement of a subject. A plurality of field images or frame images photographed for each are extracted and arranged in time series. At this time, when using field images, when the predetermined time interval is equal to the time interval (usually 1/60 seconds) in which the field images are continuously shot / recorded by video shooting, the plurality of field images are When the predetermined time interval is longer than that, the plurality of field images are "field skipped field images". When frame images are used, if the predetermined time interval is equal to the time interval (usually 1/30 seconds) in which the frame images are continuously shot / recorded by video shooting, the plurality of frame images are When the predetermined time interval is longer than that, the plurality of frame images become "frame skipped frame images".

In this case, the series of field images or frame images 2 first moves from the left end of the uppermost stage to the right, and when reaching the right end, moves to the left end of the second stage and moves to the right. It is arranged like this. At this time, the predetermined time interval (that is, the time interval between the time when two field images or frame images arranged next to each other are photographed) is changed according to the slow speed of the movement of the subject in the moving image. If so, it is possible to more easily depict the movement of the subject.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a still image corresponding to a specific moment in the movement of the subject represented by the series of field images or frame images 2, which is printed larger than the individual field images or frame images 2. It is easy to see. As the still image 3, for example, a specific one of a series of field images or frame images 2 constituting the above moving image by video shooting, or a still image (field image or frame image) by still video shooting can be used. it can.

When a silver salt photograph is photographed by the integrated image photographing apparatus, the photographed data of the silver salt photograph (for example, the recorded contents of the silver salt photographic film) can be used as the still image 3. Since the image data of the silver salt photograph has a better image quality than a field image or frame image extracted from a moving image by video shooting, or a still image (field image or frame image) taken by still video shooting, the still image 3 to be printed is large. If you use it, it will give you a good impression.

Further, as can be seen from FIG. 1, in the first arrangement example of this image, a plurality of field images or frame images are provided in the lower half of the paper 1 oriented so that the vertical direction is longer than the horizontal direction. 2 and the still image 3 in the upper half. In this way, when a plurality of field images or frame images 2 and a still image 3 are photographed in a landscape orientation, the area of the paper 1 is effectively used and the images are arranged in an easy-to-understand manner. Can be placed.

As the size of the paper 1, for example, a 2L size of a photograph having a standard aspect ratio can be used (in that case, the size of the still image 3 is the L size). Also, in this example, a plurality of field images or frame images 2 and still images 3 are printed on one sheet of paper 1, but of course, instead of these, these images are printed on a plurality of sheets of paper. It is also possible to combine them.

FIG. 2 shows a second arrangement example of images in the first embodiment. In this case, a plurality of field images or frame images 2 are arranged in the right half and a still image 3 is arranged in the left half on the paper 1 oriented so that the horizontal direction is longer than the vertical direction. The order of arranging the series of field images or frame images 2 is the same as that of the first arrangement example shown in FIG. By doing so, when a plurality of field images or frame images 2 and a still image 3 corresponding to a specific moment therein are vertically photographed, the paper 1 is effectively used and is easy to understand. The images can be arranged by the arrangement method.

FIG. 3 shows a third arrangement example of images in the first embodiment. In this case, the vertical and horizontal orientations of the paper 1 and the images printed on the paper 1 and the order in which the series of field images or frame images 2 are arranged are the same as those in the first arrangement example shown in FIG. The difference is that the still image 3 is inserted at a corresponding position in the sequence of the field image or the frame image 2.

In this figure, the process leading up to the still image 3 desired to be printed in large size is shown for a relatively long time, and after the still image 3, a long drawing is not required. , An example of image layout is shown. By arranging the images in this way, it is possible to know where the moment corresponding to the still image 3 is located during the series of movements of the subject before and after that,
Effective depiction is possible.

Similarly, if it is desired to show the subsequent process over a relatively long time without requiring a long drawing before the still image 3, the insertion position of the still image 3 is set to a series of field images or It may be the first one in the order of the frame image 2. Further, in some cases, a series of field images or frame images 2 corresponding to either before or after the still image 3 may be omitted. In that case, the still image 3 corresponds to the time when the process of the movement of the subject depicted by the series of field images or the frame image 2 starts, or the time when the process of the movement is completed.

FIG. 4 shows a fourth arrangement example of images in the first embodiment. In this case, a plurality of field images or frame images 2 are arranged in the left half and a still image 3 is arranged in the right half on the paper 1 oriented so that the horizontal direction is longer than the vertical direction. This arrangement is the left-right reversal of the case shown in FIG. 2, but either arrangement may be selected depending on the process of the movement of the subject to be drawn on the sheet 1 and the intention of drawing.

This fourth arrangement example is largely different from the case of FIG. 2 in that a series of field images or frame images 2
However, the points are arranged such that the first row goes down from the upper end of the right column, and when it reaches the lower end, it moves to the upper end of the second row and goes down. When a series of field images or frame images 2 is arranged in this way, when the field images or frame images 2 and still images 3 are photographed vertically, the still images 3 are arranged in the order of the series of field images or frame images 2. It is possible to insert it in a corresponding form in a plain form (that is, the arrangement is similar to that of FIG. 3 with the difference that the arrangement is vertical or horizontal).

In the first to fourth arrangement examples of images in the first embodiment described above, a series of field images or frame images 2 representing the motion of the subject and a specific moment in the motion are dealt with. The still image 3 and the still image 3 are printed on one sheet 1 (of course, it is also possible to print on a plurality of sheets and combine them), and it is an object of the present invention to provide the same as it is. It can be used as an image display medium. The image display medium in that case is a photographic printing paper on which an image of a general silver salt photograph is printed, or a paper on which an image output from a video printer is printed, and is extremely excellent in handleability and portability.

Next, a second embodiment will be described. FIG.
From the first configuration of the image display medium according to the present embodiment, a sheet 1 on which a series of field images or frame images 2 and still images 3 are printed, and audio for storing / reproducing audio related to those images FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the storage / reproduction device 4 taken out. In this configuration, since the audio storage / reproduction device 4 is combined, the paper 1 is partially cut. Instead of one sheet 1, a plurality of sheets can be used in combination.

Also in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, a series of field images or frame images 2
In order to depict the movement of the subject, the image is extracted from a series of field images or frame images that make up a moving image shot / recorded by an integrated image capturing device or a video camera, and the still image 3 is , One of a field image or a frame image corresponding to a specific moment in the movement, or the photographing data of a silver halide photograph. As described in the first embodiment, various arrangement methods can be selected for arranging a series of field images or frame images 2 and still images 3 on the sheet 1.

The voice storage / reproduction device 4 is provided with a switch 5 for reproducing voice and a micro speaker 6 on the surface thereof, and an amplifier, a voice memory,
And has a built-in battery. This voice storage / playback device 4
If a voice of a scene in which a series of field images or frame images 2 or still images 3 are photographed, narrations related to those images, BGM, etc. are stored, they will be stored when watching this image display medium. Replaying is effective because it enhances the sense of presence.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram of the audio storage / reproduction device 4. The amplifier 7 includes a voice memory 8 storing voice and a micro speaker 6 for reproducing voice.
Are connected, and an amplifier 7 and a voice memory 8 are connected.
Is supplied with power from the battery 9. As the battery 9, a sheet-shaped (or thin) one that is currently on the market can be used, or a solar cell can be used instead.

When it is desired to reproduce a voice using the voice storing / reproducing device 4, the switch 5 is operated to activate the amplifier 7, and the voice stored in the voice memory 8 is reproduced from the micro speaker 6. . When the image storage medium is stored, if the sound storage / reproduction device 4 is configured to be shielded from light, an optical sensor is used instead of the switch 5, and the sound is automatically output when the image display medium is opened. May be played.

FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view showing the entire first configuration described here in the image display medium according to the second embodiment. In this figure, a series of field images or frame images 2 and still images 3 are printed on separate sheets 1a and 1b and combined. Reference numeral 11 denotes a frame body that holds the sheets 1a and 1b and the voice storage / reproduction device 4, and is made of thick paper or a plastic molded product.

After the sheets 1a and 1b are fitted into the inner bottom surface 11a of the frame body 11, the transparent protective film 1 is formed thereon.
0 is attached. As a result, the printing screens of the sheets 1a and 1b are protected and the field image or the frame image 2 and the still image 3 can be kept clear. In addition, the audio storage / reproduction device 4 has an inner bottom surface 11 of the frame 11 according to its size.
It is fitted into a recess 11b provided deeper in a.

The image display medium having such a structure has an area of about 2L size of a photograph having a standard aspect ratio and a thickness of about 1 to 2 mm.
Excellent handling and portability. In addition, since the sound associated with the field image or the frame image 2 or the still image 3 can be reproduced, the sense of presence can be enhanced at the time of viewing. Further, since all the constituent elements are housed in the frame body 11 and the sheets 1a and 1b on which the image is printed are covered with the protective film 10, the durability is also excellent.

FIG. 8 relates to the second configuration of the image display medium according to the second embodiment, papers 1a and 1b on which a field image or a frame image 2 and a still image 3 are printed, respectively, and those images. The audio storage / reproduction device 4 for storing / reproducing audio is shown as extracted. Further, FIG. 9 is an assembly diagram of the entire structure. In this structure, the frame body 11 is made foldable, and a series of field images or frame images 2 is printed on one side of the sheet 1.
Paper 1b on which a is arranged and the still image 3 is printed on the other side
And a voice storage / reproduction device 4 are arranged. Paper 1
A protective film is attached to the surfaces of a and 1b.

When the image display medium is constructed as described above, the handling property, portability, and durability are further improved and the designability is improved as compared with the case of the first structure shown in FIG. it can.

Next, a method of manufacturing the image display medium according to the above-described first and second embodiments will be described. FIG. 10 shows an integrated image capturing device 21 or a video camera 2.
FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing a process of producing a plurality of sheets 1a and 1b on which an image is printed or one sheet 1 and a voice storage / reproduction device 4 in which voice is stored, based on the content photographed / recorded by 2.

When shooting is performed using the integrated image shooting device 21, a moving image shot by video shooting or a still image shot by still video shooting (more specifically, an individual field image or frame image forming a moving image or still image). Is recorded on a video tape as the moving image recording medium 23. In addition, in the integrated image photographing device 21, a still image (silver salt photograph) is obtained by the silver salt photograph photographing function simultaneously with or independently of a moving image or a still image (field image or frame image) by the video photographing function.
Can be photographed, and this still image (silver salt photograph) is recorded on a silver salt photographic film as the silver salt photographic recording medium 24.

Further, if the integrated image pickup device 21 is provided with a recording means (that is, a microphone, a voice writing means, and circuits associated therewith), the voice of the shooting site when shooting a moving image. Can be recorded in the moving image recording medium 23 together with the moving image. In this case, even when only the still image is independently shot, the sound of the shooting site before and after the shooting time can be recorded in the moving image recording medium 23.

Further, data for identifying the shooting time of each field image or frame image (which constitutes a moving image or becomes a still image) by video shooting or still video shooting corresponds to each field image or frame image ( By providing a means for writing to the moving picture recording medium 23 together with the electric signal), it is easy to determine when the moving picture or still picture (field picture or frame picture) was taken. I understand.
Further, a means for photographing the data for identifying the photographing time of each still image (silver salt photograph) by the silver salt photograph photographing on the silver salt photograph recording medium 24 together with the individual still image (silver salt photograph), and a magnetic recording medium. If a means for electrically or electrically recording is provided, it is possible to easily know when the still image was taken.

Therefore, here, these (video shooting / still video shooting,
And recording data for identifying the photographing time corresponding to each of the silver halide photography). As a result, as will be described later, when a video image taken by video shooting and a still image taken by silver salt photography are taken at the same time, the still image (silver salt photo) to be incorporated into the image display medium is selected and It is extremely easy to find a series of field images or frame images that form a moving image immediately before and after the image capturing time.

On the other hand, when shooting with the video camera 22, a moving image by video shooting or a still image by still video shooting (electric signals corresponding to individual field images or frame images, which constitute the moving image) is a moving image recording medium. No. 23 is recorded, but a still image (silver salt photograph) taken by silver salt photography cannot be recorded. It should be noted that the video camera currently in use is usually equipped with a recording means, and the voice of the shooting site recorded by this is also recorded in the moving image recording medium 23.

The moving image recording medium 23, on which the moving image (by video shooting) or the still image (by still video shooting) and the sound thus obtained are recorded, is the image reproducing device 25.
It is thrown into. In addition, here, the image reproducing device 25 is
The image data of the silver salt photographic recording medium 24 (silver salt photographic film) is also configured to be read out, and the silver salt photographic recording medium 24 (which is one output form of the integrated image photographing device) also
It is thrown into this. However, if the image reproducing device 25 is not configured to read the image data of the silver salt photographic recording medium 24, the image data is printed through the silver salt photographic printing process which is usually performed in stores. Printed on paper.

Here, first, the contents of a series of image data recorded on the silver salt photographic recording medium 24 (silver salt photographic film) are read by the CR of the monitor 26 connected to the image reproducing device 25.
The still image (silver salt photograph) to be incorporated into the image display medium is displayed by projecting on T26a. It should be noted that (although the image quality of the still image is inferior), a series of field images or frame images constituting the moving image (by video shooting) recorded on the moving image recording medium 23, or a still image (by still video shooting) is displayed on the monitor 26. It can also be displayed on the CRT 26a and selected as a still image to be incorporated.

Next, a series of field images or frame images forming a moving image immediately before and after the time when the selected still image is shot is displayed on the CRT 26a of the monitor 26. At this time, when a moving image (by video shooting) and a still image (by silver salt photography) are simultaneously shot / recorded using the integrated image shooting device, the moving image recording medium 23 and the silver salt photographic recording medium 24 are Data for identifying the shooting time of each image is recorded in the, and these data can be collated. Therefore, in this case, a series of field images or frame images forming a moving image immediately before and after the shooting time of the selected still image (silver salt photograph) can be extremely easily searched out (so-called cueing). .

Then, while viewing a series of field images or frame images (composing a moving image) displayed on the CRT 26a of the monitor 26, the field images arranged side by side so that the movement of the subject can be easily understood. Alternatively, while changing the time interval between the time of shooting the frame image (that is, the shooting time interval of the field image with frame skipping or the time of shooting the frame image), the range of the field image before and after the time of shooting the still image or Set whether to include the frame image in the image display medium.

The range of the field image or the frame image to be incorporated is the paper on which the image is printed when the ratio of the time of capturing the field image or the frame image before and after the still image is captured is input. It may be automatically set according to the number and size of the images, the arrangement of a still image and a series of field images or frame images on paper, or it can be arbitrarily set by reflecting the intention of drawing. Good as a thing.

Next, the sound to be stored as the image display medium is set. When the audio data recorded together with the moving image in the moving image recording medium 23 is used, the audio to be stored is automatically set according to the range of the field image or frame image to be incorporated in the image display medium, which is determined as described above. To be decided. However, if it is too long or contains an unnecessary portion, the sound to be stored is edited while listening to the sound reproduced from the speaker 26b of the monitor 26.

Also, the shooting / recording of the selected still image is
When a silver salt photograph or a still video is taken without shooting a moving image, the moving image recording medium 23 records only the sound in the scene where the still image is shot / recorded. Therefore, in this case, the voice to be stored is (the voice data is stored) as described above.
After cueing the moving image recording medium 23, the monitor 26
Editing is performed while listening to the sound reproduced from the speaker 26b.

When narration or BGM related to a still image or a series of field images or frame images to be displayed on the image display medium is stored, the image reproducing device 2 is supplied from an external microphone or a stereo reproducing device.
Input voice (or music) to be stored in 5.

As described above, a series of field images or frame images and still images to be displayed on the image display medium,
And the voice it should remember is set, this time
A plurality of sheets 1a, 1b or one sheet 1
And the audio storage / reproduction device 4 are recorded.

At this stage, image data corresponding to a series of field images or frame images to be displayed and a still image are sent from the image reproducing device 25 to the video printer as the image printing device 27, and the papers 1a and 1b, respectively. The image is printed on or on a sheet of paper 1. As the image printing device 27, it is possible to use a device having a function of printing the image data converted into electric signals on the silver halide photographic printing paper.

The audio data to be stored is sent from the image reproducing device 25 to the audio input device 28 and is inserted into the audio input device 28.
Is stored.

11 to 13 are flowcharts showing an example of the above process. Note that this figure corresponds to the case where both the moving image recording medium 23 and the silver salt photographic recording medium 24 are present as image recording media as a result of photographing / recording using the integrated image photographing device 21.

First, after inserting the moving image recording medium 23 and the silver salt photographic recording medium 24 into the image reproducing device 25, step # 1
At 0, it is determined whether or not a still image is selected from the image data of the silver halide photographic recording medium 24. Here, if the image data obtained by silver halide photography is used for the still image, the process proceeds to step # 20, and the image reproducing device 25 is input so as to specify the fact. Then, in step # 30, the image reproducing apparatus 25 displays a series of image data (taken by silver salt photography) on the CRT 26a of the monitor 26, and therefore, while scanning the image data, it is determined which one is to be used as a still image.

Subsequently, in step # 40, the moving picture recording medium 2
The image data of 3 is also displayed on the CRT 26a of the monitor 26.
While scanning and scanning, the image data to be used as a series of field images or frame images to be incorporated into the image display medium corresponding to the already selected still image is determined (specifically at this stage , And two conditions, that is, a shooting time interval of a series of field-skipping field images or frame images and a ratio of a range of field images or frame images to be taken before and after the shooting time of a still image, respectively.). And when this process is completed, step #
Go to 70.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step # 10 that the image data obtained by silver salt photography is not used for the still image, the process proceeds to step # 50 to specify that the image data obtained by video photography or still video photography is used. Input to the image reproducing device 25.

Then, in step # 60, the image reproducing apparatus 25 displays a series of image data (recorded in the moving image recording medium 23 by video shooting or still video shooting) on the CRT 26a of the monitor 26, and the image is displayed. While scanning the data, specify which one to use for a still image, and which one to use for a series of field images or frame images to be incorporated into the image display medium (specifically, a series of field images or frame images). 2) of the frame-by-frame shooting time interval and the ratio of the range of the field image or the frame image to be taken in before and after the time of shooting the still image). When this process is completed, the process proceeds to step # 70.

In step # 70, the information for designating the still image thus determined and the above-mentioned two conditions regarding a series of field images or frame images to be incorporated into the image display medium are set and input to the image reproducing device 25. . When the audio storage / reproduction device 4 is incorporated in the image display medium, the area for arranging a still image or a series of field images or frame images is partially occupied thereby, and the image on the paper is Since it must be taken into consideration when constructing the layout of, the setting of whether or not to incorporate the audio storage / reproduction device 4 is also set at this stage.

Next, in step # 80, it is determined whether the still image and the series of field images or frame images are printed on one sheet or a plurality of sheets, and the image reproducing apparatus 25 is determined. Enter the settings. In addition, here, when one sheet is used, the size of the sheet is 2L.
When a plurality of sheets (here, two sheets as an example thereof) are used as the size, a still image and a series of field images or frame images are printed on separate L size sheets.

At step # 80, the size of the paper is changed to L
When the size is designated, the process proceeds to step # 90, and the layout of the image on the two sheets of paper 1a and 1b corresponding to that case is set. In this case, specifically, for the paper 1a, it is set whether the series of field images or frame images are arranged vertically or horizontally, and the size of each field image or frame image is set. For the paper 1b, the size of the still image and the arrangement positions of the still image and the audio storage / playback device 4 are set.

When the layout setting is completed, the data originally recorded in the moving image recording medium 23 and the silver halide photographic recording medium 24 is transferred from the image reproducing device 25 to the image printing device 2.
7 and the voice input device 28, and further, as a sheet of paper 1a, 1b or a sheet of paper 1 on which a series of field images or frame images and still images are printed respectively, and (when necessary) Is output as the voice storage / reproduction device 4 storing the voice.

In this case (that is, when the size of the paper is designated as L size), at this stage, first, in step # 100, the image read by the moving image reproducing apparatus 25 corresponding to the selected still image. Data is image printing device 2
The image data is taken in by the image printing device 7, and subsequently, in step # 110, the image data is printed by the image printing device 27 on the paper 1b. Similarly, in step # 120, the image data corresponding to the selected series of field images or frame images is transferred from the moving image reproducing device 25 to the image printing device 27.
And the image data is printed on the sheet 1a in step # 130.

On the other hand, in step # 80, if the size of the sheet is designated as 2L size, steps # 140- #
At 170, the selected still image and a series of field images or frame images are printed on one sheet of paper 1 through the same process as steps # 90 to # 130. However,
In this case, in the layout setting process of step # 140, the still image and the series of field images or frame images are placed separately (corresponding to the arrangement example shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2), or the still image is set as a series. It is necessary to decide whether to insert the field image or the frame image at a corresponding position in the order (corresponding to the arrangement example shown in FIG. 3) and input the setting.

In this way, two sheets of paper 1a on which a still image and a series of field images or frame images are printed,
When 1b or one sheet 1 is produced, this time (if necessary), the step of storing the voice in the voice storage / reproduction device 4 is performed. At this stage, first, step # 1
At 80, the image reproducing device 25 (according to the setting contents at step # 70) causes the image storing medium to reproduce the audio storing / reproducing device 4.
Judge whether or not to incorporate.

Here, in the case of incorporating the audio storage / reproduction device 4, the process proceeds to step # 190, and the audio data originally recorded in the moving image recording medium 23 is taken in from the image reproduction device 25 to the audio input device 28. , In succession,
In step # 200, the audio data is input to the audio storage / reproduction device 4 inserted in the audio input device 28.
Then, after that, the whole process is terminated.

On the other hand, when the audio storage / reproduction device 4 is not incorporated in the image display medium, the process branches off from step # 180 and the above-mentioned audio acquisition / input process is not performed and the whole process is terminated.

Then, a plurality of sheets 1a, 1b or one sheet 1 (printed with a series of field images or frame images and still images) output as described above
The image display medium of the first or second embodiment is produced by combining the above and the audio storage / reproduction device 4 (which stores audio) in the above-described manner.
