Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for triggering functions of a computer program for processing sound sequences, such as music, dictation and the like. According to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Various computer programs for processing sound sequences are known in the prior art.
  • One such computer program is the sound recorder included as an accessory in the "Microsoft Windows 95" operating system.
  • functions such as “recording” and “playing the sound sequences” or “jumping back and forth” can be triggered.
  • a screen pointer can be placed by means of a mouse over a button symbolizing the respective function shown on the screen, and the function can be triggered by actuating a button provided on the mouse. It is cumbersome. Due to incorrect positioning of the screen pointer, e.g. on an adjacent button, an unwanted function may be triggered accidentally.
  • buttons can also be triggered by pressing the input keyboard.
  • Each button is usually assigned a special button. With a variety of functions, it is necessary to remember a variety of key assignments. That is disadvantageous.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method with which the operation of a computer program for processing sound sequences is simplified. This object is solved by the features of claim 1. Appropriate configurations result from the features of claims 2 to 22.
  • a first set of functions is assigned to a first function level and a second set of functions is assigned to a second function level, that the buttons assigned to each function level are shown next to one another and the function levels above one another are graphically displayed, starting from a basic state, the second Set of functions is activated by pressing a first key and that by pressing a second key the second set of functions is deactivated and the first set of functions is activated.
  • a binary-coded data sequence is converted into a sound sequence when the first key is pressed.
  • the play function of the computer program is triggered by pressing the first button.
  • pressing the first key once switches on a first clock or the first clock is switched on as long as a third key is pressed.
  • the current position in the data sequence is determined and displayed graphically on the screen. The current position corresponds to that position in the data sequence which is converted into a sound sequence.
  • the graphical representation of the data sequence with the current position further simplifies the operation of the computer program; the user can see at a glance where the current position is in the data sequence.
  • a start position in the data sequence that is different from the current position is generated.
  • the current position can be set equal to the start position by pressing the first button.
  • the third button e.g. the "fast forward / rewind function” of the computer program is triggered.
  • the "Play function” can be started at the start position by pressing the first button.
  • sections of a predetermined length of the data sequence located between the current position and the starting position are converted into corresponding sections of the sound sequence. For example, When the play function is activated and the "fast forward / rewind function" is activated at the same time, sections of the data sequences running during the "winding process" can be made audible.
  • a second clock generator can be switched on when the third key is actuated, a jump to a position marked in the data sequence being triggered when the third key is repeatedly actuated within a clock cycle generated by the second clock generator becomes. If the third key, which is assigned the "fast forward / rewind function" for example, is not pressed again within the clock generated by the second clock, the "jump" function cannot be triggered to a position marked in the data sequence. This further simplifies the operation of the computer program.
  • the third button can be used to trigger two different functions, for example a "fast forward / rewind function" and a "fast forward / rewind function".
  • a sound sequence into a data sequence by simultaneously pressing a fourth and the first key and to save the data sequence.
  • the sound sequence e.g. hand over to the computer program by means of a microphone and a suitable analog / digital converter.
  • the first, second, third and fourth buttons can be provided on the housing of a microphone. This makes it possible to operate the computer program like a conventional dictation machine.
  • a start position between the current position and the end of the data sequence is advantageously generated by actuating the third key.
  • the "fast forward” function is assigned to the third button.
  • a start position is expediently generated between the current position and the start of the data sequence.
  • the "rewind” function can be triggered by pressing the third button.
  • the keys are part of an input keyboard for computers, and the second key between the third and the further third Key and the first key are arranged above the second key.
  • the first key can correspond to the "arrow up key”, the second key to the “arrow down key”, the third key to the "arrow right key” and the further third key to the "arrow left key” .
  • the fourth key can be, for example, the "control key”, which is located next to the "left arrow key”.
  • buttons located in the first and second functional levels can be activated. If the third or further third button is pressed from the first function level, the "fast forward / rewind function” is triggered. If the third or the further third button is triggered from the second function level, the “fast forward / rewind function” is triggered, with sections of the "spooled" data sequence being acoustically perceptible at the same time.
  • buttons assigned to the third buttons in the second functional level can be replaced by other buttons by simultaneously pressing the fourth and the first button.
  • additional functions are assigned to the third buttons.
  • Such functions can be: “Set a section marker”, “Set a time stamp”, “Return to start recording and play” and “Return to start recording”.
  • time stamps corresponding to the data sequence can be generated by pressing five keys.
  • a time stamp it is possible to open or close files and to graphically display their content on the screen or to remove their graphical representation. In this way, images or texts can be displayed during playback of the sound sequence.
  • selected sections of the data sequence can be assigned to a marking selected from a predetermined group of markings.
  • the markings differ, for example, by color codes. This makes it possible to filter markings of the same group and to convert only the sections of the data sequence provided with them into the corresponding sound sequence sections.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé pour le déclenchement de fonctions d'un programme informatique pour le traitement de séquences sonores telles que musique, dictée et analogue, procédé selon lequel des fonctions déclenchées par des touches (1, 2, 3a, 3b, 4, 5) sont représentées graphiquement sur un écran, sous forme de surfaces de commutation (S1, S2, S3a, S3aa, S3b, S3bb), et la fonction déclenchée par suite de l'actionnement de l'une des touches (1, 2, 3a, 3b, 4, 5) est affichée par une modification de chacune des surfaces de commutation (S1, S2, S3a, S3aa, S3b, S3bb). En vue de simplifier la commande des fonctions, un premier jeu de fonctions est associé à un premier plan de fonctions (F1), et un deuxième jeu de fonctions est associé à un deuxième plan de fonctions (F2), les surfaces de commutation (S1, S2, S3a, S3aa, S3b, S3bb) associées à chaque plan de fonction (F1, F2) sont représentées graphiquement les unes à côté des autres, et les plans de fonction (F1, F2) superposés. A partir d'un état initial, le deuxième jeu de fonctions est activé par actionnement d'un première touche (1), et par actionnement d'une deuxième touche, le deuxième jeu de fonctions est désactivé, et le premier jeu de fonctions est activé.
