Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable even a person who is not a specialist to easily and rapidly form teaching materials by assigning the position of reproduced image information on a prescribed screen and inserting text to this assigned position. SOLUTION: The image information is compressed to a video tape or the like and is taken into a personal computer. The test to be inserted is formed by using a word processor and graphic software. The formed text is copied to a clip board or is saved in a file by a bit map system. The image information is expanded and read out. Videos are reproduced on an animation image reproducing screen 10 by an animation controller 11 and are stopped in the position where the videos are desired to be inserted. The position of an insertion text area 12 on the screen is assigned by a mouse and thereafter, the text to be inserted is pasted from the clip board or is read in from the file.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Embodiment 1 FIG. The configuration of the teaching material creation system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a teaching material creation system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a personal computer, 2 is a digital video camera, 3 is a VTR, and 4 is a built-in MPEG.
I compression / expansion (encoder / decoder) board, 5 is FD device for driving floppy disk (FD), 6 is CD
A CD-ROM device for driving a ROM; and 7, an MO device for driving an MO (magneto-optical) disk. Note that the personal computer 1 incorporates virtual button software.

The moving image and still image media include a video tape built in the VTR 3, a digital video tape built in the digital video camera 2, a CD-ROM built in the CD-ROM device 6, and a MO device 7. It is taken in as image information by the built-in MO disk.

The method of preparing the video teaching material is roughly as follows.

First, the image information from which the teaching materials are created includes a video tape, a digital video tape, and a CD-ROM.
Then, the data is compressed into an MO disk or the like via the MPEGI compression / decompression board 4 according to the purpose or the like, and taken into the personal computer 1.

The fetched image information is expanded and read out on the screen via the MPEGI compression / expansion board 4, and a virtual button is pasted on a required screen by operating a personal computer.
In addition, necessary information is linked to the virtual button from the MO disk, the FD, or the like to create a teaching material.

In this way, image information such as an existing video can be easily digitized, and necessary information can be added by attaching a virtual button to the image. Also,
Since existing image information is digitized, editing, addition, and the like become easy.

In the system according to the first embodiment, if a description text is inserted into the image information taken into the personal computer 1 or a video teaching material is created by inserting a virtual button, a video teaching material is created later. When the virtual button is clicked, it becomes possible to call up another material previously associated.

The outline of these functions will be described below in three forms, namely, a "text insertion function", a "virtual button insertion function", and a "hyperlink setting function for a moving object". I do.

First, as a first mode, a text insertion function will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, 10 is a moving image playback screen, 11 is a moving image controller,
Reference numeral 12 denotes an insertion text area.

The function of inserting a text is a function of inserting text such as a sentence for explanation, a figure, and a photograph at an arbitrary position in image information. The operation procedure is shown below.

First, a text to be inserted is created. Create the text to insert using a suitable word processor or graphic software. Copy the created text to the clipboard or save it to a file in bitmap format.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the designation of the insertion position is stopped by the moving image controller 11 at the position where the video is to be reproduced and inserted on the moving image reproduction screen 10. After specifying the position on the screen with the mouse, paste the text to be inserted from the clipboard or read from the file.

As a second embodiment, the function of inserting a virtual button will be described with reference to FIGS. In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a moving image reproduction screen, 11 denotes a moving image controller, 13 denotes an insertion button area, and 14 denotes a material area.

If a virtual teaching material is created by inserting a virtual button at an arbitrary position in the image information, another material associated in advance can be called by clicking the virtual button later. The operation procedure is shown below.

First, the virtual button is inserted by creating a graphic of the virtual button using an appropriate word processor or graphic software and inserting the virtual button at an arbitrary position in the image information, just like the above-described text insertion operation. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the position of the virtual button to be inserted is designated by the mouse.

Next, the association between the virtual button and the material is executed by selecting the virtual button created on the moving picture reproduction screen 10 and then selecting the "link creation command" from the menu. Next, when a material that has been read in advance by an image scanner and stored in a file is selected, the association is completed. In the example shown in FIG. 4, “material 3” is selected as the link destination of the virtual button.

As a third mode, in addition to the above functions,
With reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, a description will be given of a function of setting a hyperlink for a target itself shown in image information following the movement.

In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a moving picture reproduction screen;
Is a moving image controller, 14 is a material area, 15 is another button area, and 16 is a designated anchor area. The operating procedure in this case is shown below.

As shown in FIG. 5, the start point, intermediate point, and end point of the anchor are set by rectangles while reproducing the video (image information) on the moving image reproduction screen 10, as shown in FIG.

The link between the anchor and the material is executed by selecting the anchor on the screen and selecting the "link creation command" from the menu. Next, when a material that has been read in advance by the image scanner and stored in a file is selected, the association is completed.

Here, a more specific example will be described.
For example, when repair work of an elevator occurs, each work is photographed by a digital video camera. Next, the captured video (image information) is taken into a personal computer by an MPEGI encoder.

The video expanded by the MPEGI decoder is displayed on the screen of the personal computer. Then, a prepared text is inserted into a screen for each operation, or a virtual button is pasted. When all operations are completed, save the file.

When the created video teaching material is reproduced, a picture with text inserted and a work procedure appear on a certain work screen. Also, on the screen of another work, click the inserted virtual button, the related work procedure will be voice,
It comes out in writing.

[0037]

As described above, the teaching material creating method according to the present invention compresses image information and stores it in a memory, creates a text to be inserted, and decompresses the image information stored in the memory. And reproducing the image on the screen, and after specifying the position of the reproduced image information on a predetermined screen, inserting the created text at the specified position,
This has the effect of creating video teaching materials.

As described above, in the teaching material creating method according to the present invention, the step of compressing the image information and storing the compressed information in the memory, the step of creating a virtual button to be inserted, and the step of compressing the image information stored in the memory are performed.
