Abstract

PURPOSE:To record and reproduce a voice while relating it to an image for presentation by operating a restart signal generating part at the time of reaching a comment end signal. CONSTITUTION:An alarm part 3 instructs an animation executing part 1 to flicker comment alarm 'C', and a comment storage part 4 reads and stores the stop time of an animation frame and the sequential number of a comment. A link generating part 5 reads this comment number to operate a voice recording part 8, and the comment number is recorded on a voice recording medium as the header of the comment. The voice recording part 8 records contents of the comment on the voice recording medium following the recording of the header, and a user operates a restart signal generating part 6 at the time of terminating the comment. The restart signal generating part 6 stops voice recording after instructing the voice recording part 8 to record a comment end signal and instructs the alarm part 3 to stop the display of the comment alarm and restarts the animation executing part 1 simultaneously. Thus, the comment is recorded or reproduced synchronously with the image.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a method for recording and reproducing audio comments in association with presentation videos produced by a computer. This method facilitates meetings or customer negotiations,
Used to ensure communication.

(Prior art and its problems) The use of animation as a presentation medium is a relatively new attempt, and at a time when the importance of visual communication is being advocated, there is no need for a technology to visually communicate what is being thought. The development of this is very necessary. On the other hand, conventional visual communication technology has mainly supported the presentation of ideas. However, communication should not be a one-sided exchange of ideas, but should be a place for mutual exchange of ideas, and for this purpose, there must be technology that supports feedback from those listening to presentations.

The fact that such a technique has not existed in the past is a problem in itself, but another problem is that it is rare to even consider what an appropriate feedback technique is.

A lack of feedback techniques can leave unresolved chaotic situations, such as people forgetting and forgiving valuable opinions from the audience, and even if they do remember a little bit, there is no context for what the opinions were expressed. There is.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems, and in particular, to record and play back comments or opinions from the audience as audio in the context of a presentation, that is, in association with the presentation video. The aim is to realize functions in the simplest possible way.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Means provided by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems is to record and reproduce comments made during the animation presentation in the animation execution section. A voice comment recording and playback method,
an audio recording unit that records the comment on audio media;
an interrupt signal generation unit that generates an interrupt signal that stops execution of the animation at the time when the comment is about to be made; a comment storage unit that stores the number of frames and comment number at the time when the interrupt signal is generated; and the frame. an alarm unit that notifies that there is a comment, a link creation unit that causes the comment number recorded in the comment storage unit to be recorded in the audio medium to associate the video and the audio, and a link creation unit that causes the animation to resume execution. a restart signal generation unit that stops the audio media and records a comment end signal on the audio media; an audio reading unit that reads information recorded on the audio media; When a frame is reached, the interrupt signal generating section is activated and execution is stopped, the alarm section is activated, and the audio media is further read and a comment having a header with a predetermined comment number is played back, and the comment is terminated. and a control section that operates the restart signal generating section when the signal is reached.

(Function) Before explaining the principle of the voice comment recording and reproducing method of the present invention, in order to explain the basic idea, please refer to Figure 2 for the voice comment recording and reproducing function that is linked to the animation system that is made possible by this method. and explain.

Assume that a video for a presentation has been created by an animation system and is being displayed on the display 12. At this time, assume that you are in a position to receive comments from the audience. First, a system user (presenter) operates the main body 10 in the figure to interrupt the animation system 11 from the main body 10 and stop the execution. At this point, a comment alert “
C" is displayed blinking. At the same time, the audio media (for example, cassette tape recorder) 1 connected to the main body 10
3 becomes ready for recording. Comment is audio media 1
3. After recording is completed, the system user returns to main unit 1.
0 to start the animation system 11. At this time, the comment warning is canceled and the comment warning “C
'' disappears from the display 12. Also, the audio media 13 stops and recording becomes impossible. Conversely, if you activate the animation system 11 at a later date to review the contents of the comment, the comment warning "C" will blink. When a frame is reached, the audio media 13 is started and the audio comment that occurred in that scene is played back. When the comment is finished, the audio media 13 is stopped and a comment alarm is issued.
After erasing C'', the animation system 11 is restarted.

(Example) Next, examples of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an animation execution section, which creates animations, and 2 is an interrupt signal generation section, which stops interrupts to the animation execution section 1, and outputs the alarm section 3, comment storage section 4, and link creation section 5. The alarm section 3, which issues an instruction to start the operation, transfers a blinking display command of data "C" to the animation execution section 1, and the comment storage section 4 reads and stores the current frame number and comment number from the animation execution section 1. The link creation unit 5 reads the comment number from the comment storage unit 4 and sends an instruction to the voice recording unit 8 to write the comment number in the comment header.
give to The audio recording section 8 creates a comment header on an audio recording medium (for example, a cassette tape) and records the following comment contents on the audio recording medium. The restart signal generation unit 6 transfers a signal to the animation execution unit 1 to restart execution of the animation, instructs the alarm unit 3 to stop the alarm signal, and instructs the audio recording unit 8 to record the comment end signal and stop the operation. do. The control unit 7 is
While referring to the comment storage section 4 and the animation execution section 1, when the numbers of frames recorded there match, the interrupt signal generation section 2 and the audio reading section 9 are activated to obtain the comment number recorded in the comment storage section 4. Search for comment headers that match. Further, the control section 7 operates the restart signal section generation section 6 when the comment end signal is reached. The voice reading section 9 reads the contents of the voice recording medium according to the instructions of the control section 7. With six or more configurations, it is possible to realize the voice comment recording and reproducing function in conjunction with the animation system.

Hereinafter, the operation of the voice comment recording and reproducing method of the first district will be explained in more detail. First, the system user operates the interrupt signal generating section 2 when a comment is generated from the audience. The interrupt signal generating section 2 interrupts the animation execution section 1 and stops the execution, and the alarm section 3 and the comment storage. The section 4 and the link creation section 5 are operated. Alarm part 3
Then, the animation execution section 1 is instructed to flash the comment alarm "C', and the animation execution section 1 executes this. The comment storage section 4 reads and stores the point at which the animation frame stops (number of frames) and the comment consecutive number. (Figure 3).

The link creation section 5 reads the comment number just recorded in the comment storage section 4, operates the audio recording section 8, and records the comment number on the audio recording medium as a header of the comment. The audio recording unit 8 records the contents of the comment on the audio recording medium following the recording of the comment. When the comment is finished, the user presses the restart signal generator 6 to 114 Ih knee k j↓! ffn layer Jafil # A I-+ riot, jam Q
17 After instructing the recording of the comment end signal, the voice recording is stopped, and furthermore, the display of the comment warning is stopped in the warning ms. Further, the same procedure of restarting the animation execution unit 1 at the same time is repeated when recording a comment. When reproducing a comment in an animation review, the control unit 7 compares the execution frame number of the animation with the frame number recorded in the comment memory N4, and if the two match, activates the interrupt signal generation unit 2 at that frame. 6 Interrupt signal generator 2
Then, the operation of the animation execution section 1 is stopped, and then the alarm N3 is activated and the comment alarm "C" is displayed blinking.

On the other hand, the control unit 7 reads the comment number corresponding to the frame from the comment storage unit 4, starts the audio reading unit 9, and confirms the comment header. The number is compared with the comment number read from the comment storage section 4, and if they match, the voice reader 9 reproduces the comment content. When the voice reading section 9 reads the comment end signal in a state other than the above search state, the control section 7 activates the restart signal generating section 6. The restart signal generating section 6 stops the voice reading section 9 and also stops the alarm M3 to erase the comment alarm 'C'', and then prompts the animation execution section 1 to restart.The same procedure is repeated when playing back the comment. It will be done.

(Effects of the Invention) As described in detail above, according to the present invention, comments related to an animation video used in a presentation can be recorded and played back in synchronization with the video. This allows feedback from the presentation listener to be reviewed in the context of the presentation, making visual communication more effective.
