DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An information receiving apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a schematic configuration of one embodiment of the information receiving apparatus of the present invention. In FIG. 1, an information receiving apparatus 101 includes a fixed unit 104 having a receiving unit 102 and a character information converting unit 103, and a portable unit 108 having a storage unit 105, a voice information converting unit 106 and an output unit 107. ing.

The information is transmitted from a transmitting means (not shown) by wire or wirelessly. The information is, for example, information on economic relations, sports relations, and the like, and is obtained by converting the information into analog signals or digital signals. Wired means, for example, those that transfer data using the Internet or the like using telephone lines, CD-ROMs, etc.
In this case, information recorded on a recording medium such as the above is transferred using a dedicated line. A method of transferring data using an optical fiber is included in a wired method. The term “wireless” refers to a method of converting information into radio waves using radio broadcasting or television broadcasting and transferring the information, or a method of converting information into light and transferring the information.

Fixed section 104 in information receiving apparatus 101
The receiving means 102 receives information transmitted by wire or wirelessly. The fixed unit 104 of the information receiving apparatus 101 is, for example, installed in a home or the like, and receives a wired or wireless information so that a receiving unit such as a modem for a telephone line or an antenna for receiving radio waves (not shown). ).

The character information conversion means 103 includes the receiving means 10
2 converts the information received into character information.
As one method of converting information into character information, all information is represented by a kana as a reading method, and the reading method is expressed by 7 bits. By expressing characters using 7 bits, it is possible to convert up to 128 characters as one code. That is, all of the Japanese syllabary and the voiced sounds can be converted into chords. That is, since the method of reading characters is converted into character information, and the information is converted into voice based on the character information, the information can be accurately converted into voice information. Information can be stored.

In general, when converting characters into codes, kanji, hiragana, alphabets, symbols, and the like are represented as codes by a combination of two bytes of "1" and "0". For example, when a character represented by a kanji character of "economic" in a JIS code is represented by a code, 16 characters may
It is represented by 16 × 2 characters = 32 bits using bits. In the JIS code, "0, 1 ... 8, 9, A, B
.., E and F are assigned to characters using characters, such as the Japanese syllabary, the alphabet, and the kanji. 16-bit JI
In the case of the S code, the character “A” corresponds to the JIS code “2422”, and the character “A”
The character “A” corresponds to the IS code “2341”, and the character “A” corresponds to the JIS code “3021”. In addition to the JIS code, there is an ASCII code and the like.

As described above, for example, when a character "sports" is represented by a code in the JIS code, one character is represented by 64 bits using 16 bits. However, in the present embodiment, when the character "sports" is represented, only 7 bits are used for one character.
It can be represented by bits. Therefore, in this embodiment, a sentence in which kanji and hiragana or katakana are mixed can be expressed with a small number of bits.
That is, the information can be stored as character information in the storage unit 105 with a small data amount.

When the information is voice information, the pronounced word is converted into character information as it is. At this time, the silent part in the voice information is determined to be “,” or “.” In the text, and is converted as a blank when converted to character information.
For these processes, a speech recognition technique can be used.

When the information is character data information, the character data information received by the receiving means 102 is, for example, JI
It is converted into Japanese syllabary or Chinese characters according to the S code. The character is judged on reading or kun reading from the surrounding characters, etc.,
Converted to kana as correct reading. Then, the kana is converted into character information.

When the information is video data information,
The video data information received by the receiving means 102 is configured as a video. Characters are recognized from the information configured in the video and converted to character data information. For the characters of the converted character data information, on-reading or kun-reading is determined from the characters before and after, and converted to kana as a correct reading. Then, the kana is converted into character information.
