Method for generating interval with syllable pronunciation

The present invention relates to a method for generating a sound path in conjunction with a syllable pronunciation, and more particularly to a method for generating a sound path according to the weight of each syllable in a single word.

With the advancement of technology, language learning has gradually changed from traditional books to tape recorders through electronic products, such as computers, electronic dictionaries, mobile phones, PDAs, etc. Currently, the part of portable electronic products in Chinese learning In addition to displaying single words, phonetic symbols and corresponding textual explanations, it also adds pronunciation function, so that learners can understand the way words are spoken.

In addition to the above-mentioned functions, other auxiliary functions are added to the existing technologies, as shown in the Patent No. I230910 of the Republic of China, which discloses a device for synchronizing playback of language syllables and their mouth-shaped pictures. When the user selects a language unit pronunciation, the language unit of the selected voice of the user is divided into at least one syllable, each syllable is composed of at least one phoneme, and each phoneme corresponds to a group of mouth images, and is used. According to a syllable unit, a corresponding synchronization correspondence table is generated for the syllable and the mouth-shaped picture corresponding to each phoneme in the syllable, so that when the syllable is played, the mouth shape of each phoneme corresponding to the syllable is sequentially displayed in synchronization. image.

In addition, as shown in the Patent No. I241495 of the Republic of China, it discloses a language learning pronunciation and reading system and a method thereof for a portable electronic device, and uses a reading unit to start a language learning process, when the user When the follow-up unit is operated, the system starts the pre-recorded voice pronunciation information of the language message selected by the user according to the follow-up command issued by the follow-up unit, and then the system starts recording the voice of the user, and finally The system first plays the pre-recorded voice message, and then plays the user's recording, so that the user can make a comparison of the pronunciation.

Furthermore, as shown in the Patent No. I238379 of the Republic of China, it discloses a language reading and pronunciation correction system and method for a portable electronic device, similar to the I241495 patent case, and also uses a follow-up unit to start the language. Follow-up learning program, when the user operates the follow-up unit, the system will start the pre-recorded voice pronunciation information of the language message selected by the user according to the follow-up instruction issued by the follow-up unit, and then the system starts recording. The voice sent by the user, then the system will play the pre-recorded voice message first, then play the user's recording, and perform the decoding action of the voice recorded by the user, and translate the recorded voice into a corresponding language information. Then, through the discriminating program, a pronunciation similarity message is sent for the user's reference, and the user can perform the sound comparison and the sentence scoring operation through the following unit of the system to achieve the purpose of correcting the correct pronunciation of the voice.

Although the above patents provide additional functions in language learning, such as mouth-shaped pictures, follow-up systems, correction systems, etc., to increase the correctness of pronunciation, however, the pronunciation of the language will be light, heavy, high and low, The function disclosed in the patent case cannot effectively distinguish the weight of the pronunciation, or it depends on the user's own hearing. However, the auxiliary functions provided by the above patents are only applicable to users with better sound. The change of pronunciation can be distinguished by its own sense of sound. For users with poor sense of sound, it is completely ineffective. Therefore, the functions provided by the above patents cannot be applied to general users, and there are still deficiencies.

The main object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings, and to show the weight of each syllable in a single word, so as to improve the correctness of the pronunciation.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for generating a sound path for syllable pronunciation, which mainly includes a preparation step, a sorting step, and a connecting step; the preparing step provides a single word having at least one syllable, and the single word has The syllable has a corresponding pronunciation; then, the sorting step is performed, and according to the degree of pronunciation of each syllable in the single word, the order of pronunciation of each syllable in the single word is defined in the order of pronunciation of each syllable, and is sorted by this The marking points corresponding to the pronunciation of each syllable are marked; finally, the connecting step is performed, and the adjacent syllables are connected with the marked points of the pronunciation, and the interval of the single pronunciation is generated.

In a specific implementation manner of the present invention, the interval generating method further performs a dividing step before the sorting step, dividing the pronunciation of the single word into the pronunciation of each syllable; and the sorting step includes a scoring step, according to The pronunciation of each syllable is given a different score, and a step of marking is marked according to the score of each syllable.

Through the interval generated by the invention, the user can easily distinguish the pronunciation of the syllables in the single word, and the impression of the single word can be deepened by the pattern of the interval.

The detailed description and technical contents of the present invention will now be described as follows:

The invention is a method for generating a sound path with syllable pronunciation, which mainly generates a corresponding interval by different light and weight of each syllable in a single word, and uses the pattern represented by the interval to distinguish the severity of the pronunciation of each syllable. . First, please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a block diagram of a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the method for generating an interval mainly includes: preparing step S10, providing a single word having at least one word. a syllable, and the syllable has a corresponding pronunciation; the sorting step S20, according to the degree of gradation of each syllable in the single word, in the order of pronunciation of each syllable, defines the order in which the syllables are pronounced in the single word, and The sorting marks the marked points corresponding to the utterances of the syllables; and, in connection with the step S30, the adjacent syllables are connected with the marked points of the sounds of the syllables, and the intervals of the single-word pronunciation are generated.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a second embodiment of the present invention, wherein the interval generating method further performs a dividing step S11 before the sorting step S20, and the dividing step S11 is performed. The pronunciation of the single word is divided into the pronunciations of the syllables; and the sorting step S20 includes a scoring step S21 and a marking step S22, wherein the scoring step S21 assigns different scores according to the pronunciation of each syllable, and the marking step S22 is based on each The syllable scores indicate the marked points of the pronunciation. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 6 , first, the preparation step S10 is performed to provide a single word, such as the single word International shown in FIG. 3 , the single word has a plurality of syllables, and each syllable has its corresponding phonetic symbol [ u`nfQtn@XnQp] has a corresponding pronunciation; then, the dividing step S11 is performed to divide the pronunciation of the single word into the pronunciation of each syllable, as shown in FIG. 4, the corresponding pronunciation of the first syllable In is [u] `n], the pronunciation of the second syllable ter is [fQ], the pronunciation of the third syllable na is [tn@], the pronunciation of the fourth syllable is [Xn], and the pronunciation of the fifth syll is corresponding [ Qp].

Next, the scoring step S21 in the sorting step S20 is performed, and different scores are given according to the severity of the pronunciation of the syllables In, ter, na, tion, and al in the single word International to define each syllable In, ter, na, The order of the pronunciation of the words in the word, and the degree of severity of each syllable In, ter, na, tion, and al can be known by its phonetic transcription or pronunciation. For example, the third syllable na has an accented symbol and is an accented syllable. A syllable In has a sub-accented symbol and is a sub-accented syllable. In addition, according to the habit of single-sentence pronunciation, the last syllable a is the syllable of the bass, and the rest of the syllables, the syllable is the syllable of the middle, so that the first syllable can be sorted out first. The utterances of In, ter, na, tion, and al are the weights and heights of the syllables. In the single word International, the syllables are pronounced from light to light or high to low, in the order of na, In, ter, and, and al. A higher-sounding syllable score is higher, and a lower-scoring syllable is given, such as a score of 4 for the syllable na, a score of 3 for the second accent, and a score of 2 for the middle syllable, and the bass. Section al is 1 point.

Then, the marking step S22 in the sorting step S20 is performed, and the marking points of the pronunciations are marked according to the scores of the syllables, and the syllables with higher scores (ie, the syllables with heavier pronunciation) are marked in the marking step S22. The high point is marked, and the lower scored syllable (that is, the lower syllable) is marked at the lower marked point, so the syllable points in the high and low order are the heavy and light order, respectively Na, In, ter andtion, al. Finally, the connecting step S30 is performed, and the adjacent syllables are connected with the marked points of the pronunciation, so as to form a high and low undulating pattern to generate the interval of the single word pronunciation. In this way, the user can analyze the change of the weight of each syllable according to the interval of the single word.

In summary, the present invention mainly defines the order in which the syllables are pronounced in the words according to the order of the syllables of the syllables in a single word, and the order in which the syllables are pronounced in the words. The syllables are lightly weighted by the marked points. Finally, the adjacent syllables are connected with the marked points of the pronunciation, and the interval of the single-sentence pronunciation is generated, as if the music is better understood with the score, the learner's pronunciation is more correct.

The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and the equivalent variations and modifications of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.
