The audio reproduction program, the audio reproduction method, and the embodiment of the audio reproduction system according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings below.

(Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of an audio reproduction method according to an embodiment. In FIG. 1, the information processing device 101 is a computer that reproduces voice data registered by the performer with respect to the dialogue of the characters in the scenario. The scenario is a script or script that describes the lines of the characters. The scenario may describe the composition of the scene, the movement of the characters, and the like.

Examples of scenarios include novels, light novels, poems, dramas, stage scripts, essays, and manga. The characters are the characters and animals that appear in the scenario. The characters may include a narrator who explains the scene, the psychology of the characters, and the like. A performer is a person who plays the role of a character.

The social voice recording web service creates various scenarios together. For example, you can record and listen to your own voice in various stories, or you can enjoy combining voices recorded by other people. The social voice recording web service is a user-participation type service in which people who want to be voice actors and voice actors, people who want to play with voice, people who want to listen to various voices, etc. gather.

The social voice recording web service has a recording mode and a listener mode. In recording mode, the performer can record the lines of the characters in the scenario. In the listener mode, you can specify and listen to the scenario and performer in any combination you like.

Here, since the social voice recording web service is a user-participation type service, a situation occurs in which a plurality of performers play one character in one scenario. That is, multiple performers may record lines for one character in a scenario. In order to deal with this situation, in the listener mode, when playing the content corresponding to the scenario, the performer can be specified for each character in the scenario.

Since the atmosphere changes depending on the person who plays the same character, the user can create and enjoy his own scenario by designating the performer of his choice from multiple performers. At this time, for example, it is conceivable to display a list of information of each performer as a judgment material so that the user can easily judge his / her favorite performer from a plurality of performers. However, although it is possible to display a list of visual information, it is difficult to display a list because the content handled by the social voice recording web service is voice.

In addition, when the user judges his / her favorite performer, it is conceivable to play back a sample of the dialogue recorded by the performer. However, when there are multiple performers for one character in the scenario, it takes time and effort if complicated and troublesome operations are required to check the lines recorded by each of the multiple performers. It becomes difficult to specify a favorite performer.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when there are a plurality of performers for one character in the scenario, only one of the plurality of performers is designated, and the voice recorded by the designated performer is output. I will explain the audio playback method that makes it easy to specify the performer of your choice from among multiple performers so that you can check it. Hereinafter, a processing example of the information processing apparatus 101 will be described.

(1) When the information processing device 101 receives a scenario designation from the user, the information processing device 101 acquires the performer information associated with the characters in the designated scenario from the storage unit 110. Here, for each scenario, the storage unit 110 stores the performer information that identifies the performer who plays the role of the character in association with each character in each scenario.

In the example of FIG. 1, it is assumed that the designation of "scenario 001" is received from the terminal device 102 of the user 001. In this case, the information processing device 101 acquires, for example, the performer information associated with each character in "Scenario 001" from the storage unit 110.

(2) The information processing device 101 displays the performer information corresponding to the characters in the acquired scenario so that it can be determined that the performer is the performer for the characters. Here, the performer information is information that identifies the performer who plays the role of the character, and is, for example, the name of the performer or an icon representing the performer.

In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing device 101 displays the performer information corresponding to the character for each character in "Scenario 001" so as to be able to determine that the performer is the character. Here, the characters in "Scenario 001" are referred to as "Character 001" and "Character 002". In this case, the information processing device 101 displays, for example, the sample reproduction screen 120 on the terminal device 102. On the sample playback screen 120, the performer information "user 100, user 2501" corresponding to "character 001" is displayed so as to be discriminable as the performer for "character 001". Further, on the sample reproduction screen 120, the performer information "user 556" corresponding to the "character 002" is displayed so as to be able to determine that the performer is the performer for the "character 002".

(3) Each time the information processing device 101 accepts the designation of one of a plurality of performers for any of the characters in the scenario, the same line of any of the characters is designated. Play the audio data registered by one of the performers. Here, the dialogue to be reproduced is determined from the dialogue of the characters in the scenario.

That is, when the information processing device 101 has a plurality of performers for one of the characters in the scenario, the information processing device 101 determines each time the user accepts the designation of one of the plurality of performers. The voice data registered by the one performer is reproduced for the dialogue to be reproduced.

In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 101 receives the designation of any one of the plurality of performers for any of the characters in "Scenario 001", and the same one of the characters is used each time. For the dialogue, the voice data registered by any of the specified performers is played. The performer is designated, for example, by designating the performer information by the operation input of the user 001 on the sample reproduction screen 120.

Here, the dialogue 130 to be reproduced for "Character 001" is defined as "Very delicious". In this case, for example, when the information processing device 101 accepts the designation of the "user 100" among the plurality of performers for the "character 001", the "user 100" is registered for the dialogue 130 of the "character 001". Play back the audio data. Further, when the information processing device 101 receives the designation of "user 2501" among the plurality of performers for "character 001", the voice data registered by "user 2501" for the dialogue 130 of "character 001". To play.

As described above, according to the information processing device 101, even if there are a plurality of performers for the characters in the scenario, only one performer among the plurality of performers is designated, and the characters are affected. You can audition the voice recorded by the designated performer for the same line. In addition, even if the performers are switched, the voices of the same characters are reproduced, so that the voices of the performers can be easily compared. As a result, even if there are a plurality of performers for the characters, it is possible to easily specify the performer of his / her choice from the plurality of performers.

In the example of FIG. 1, there are a plurality of performers "user 100, user 2501" for "character 001" in "scenario 001". The user 001 auditions the voice recorded by the designated performer for the dialogue 130 to be reproduced by simply designating one of the plurality of performers "user 100, user 2501" on the sample playback screen 120. can do. Therefore, the user 001 can check the voice of the dialogue 130 for each performer for the "character 001" of the "scenario 001" and determine the performer of his / her preference.

(Memory contents of various DBs 220, 230, 240)
Next, the stored contents of various DBs 220, 230, and 240 included in the information processing apparatus 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7. The various DBs 220, 230, and 240 are realized, for example, by storage devices such as the memory 302 and the disk 304 shown in FIG.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the stored contents of the scenario DB 220. In FIG. 5, the scenario DB 220 stores scenario information 500-1 to 500-n of scenarios S1 to Sn (n: a natural number of 2 or more). In the following description, any scenario among the scenarios S1 to Sn may be referred to as "scenario Si" (i = 1, 2, ..., N).

Scenario information 500-i includes scenario ID, title, synopsis, characters, and text information of scenario Si. The scenario ID is an identifier that uniquely identifies the scenario Si. The title is the title of scenario Si. The synopsis is a synopsis of scenario Si.

The character information is information that identifies the characters in Scenario Si, and includes, for example, the names of the characters and the introduction of the characters. The character information may include a character ID that uniquely identifies the character. The text shows the lines of the characters in Scenario Si in the order of remarks. The dialogue number indicates the order in which the dialogue is spoken by each character. Each line is identified by a combination of characters and line numbers. The scenario information 500-i may include information indicating the points of performance.

For example, scenario information 500-1 is the title of scenario S1, "daily story", synopsis "daily conversation ...", characters "Taro: male, 15 years old, personality ..., Hanako: female, 16 years old, personality is …"including. Further, the scenario information 500-1 includes a text showing the lines of the characters in the scenario S1 in the order of remarks. For example, the line number "1" of the character "Taro" is "It's hot". The line of the character "Hanako" with the line number "1" is "Eh?".

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the stored contents of the registered voice DB 230. In FIG. 6, the registered voice DB 230 has fields for scenario ID, title, characters, performers, and voice data, and by setting information in each field, registered voice information (for example, registered voice information 600-1 to 600-1 to 600-4) is stored as a record.

Here, the scenario ID is an identifier that uniquely identifies the scenario Si. The title is the title of scenario Si. The characters are information that identifies the characters in the scenario Si. The information that identifies the character is, for example, the name of the character or the character ID. The performer is information that identifies the performer corresponding to the character. The information that identifies the performer is, for example, the name of the performer or the performer ID. The performer ID is an identifier that uniquely identifies the performer.

(Example of functional configuration of information processing device 101)
FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration example of the information processing device 101. In FIG. 8, the information processing device 101 includes a reception unit 801, a display control unit 802, a reproduction control unit 803, a determination unit 804, and a storage unit 810. Specifically, for example, the reception unit 801 to the determination unit 804 may cause the CPU 301 to execute a program stored in a storage device such as the memory 302, the disk 304, or the portable recording medium 307 shown in FIG. , Communication I / F 305 realizes the function. The processing result of each functional unit is stored in a storage device such as a memory 302 or a disk 304, for example. The storage unit 810 is realized by a storage device such as a memory 302 or a disk 304, for example. Specifically, for example, the storage unit 810 stores the scenario DB 220, the registered voice DB 230, and the extraction condition DB 240.

The reception unit 801 receives the designation of the scenario Si from the user. The user is, for example, a user (logged-in user) who has logged in to the social voice recording web service. The designated scenario Si is, for example, a scenario in which the user reads or listens to the content, or a scenario in which the user records the lines of the characters.

The scenario Si is specified, for example, on the application home screen displayed on the user terminal 202 shown in FIG. The application home screen is an operation screen on which any scenario Si can be specified from a plurality of scenarios (for example, scenarios S1 to Sn). On the application home screen, for example, keywords and categories may be specified to narrow down the scenarios to be displayed in a list from scenarios S1 to Sn. A screen example of the application home screen will be described later with reference to FIG.

Specifically, for example, the reception unit 801 receives the designation of the scenario Si from the user by receiving the information specifying the scenario Si specified by the user's operation input on the application home screen from the user terminal 202. The information that identifies the scenario Si is, for example, a scenario ID or a title.

The display control unit 802 acquires the scenario information of the designated scenario Si from the storage unit 810. The scenario information includes information for identifying characters in the scenario Si and the text of the scenario Si. Then, the display control unit 802 refers to the acquired scenario information and displays the characters in the scenario Si in a selectable manner.

Specifically, for example, the display control unit 802 acquires the scenario information 500-i of the designated scenario Si from the scenario DB 220 (see FIG. 5). Then, the display control unit 802 displays an operation screen on the user terminal 202 in which the characters in the scenario Si can be selected with reference to the acquired scenario information 500-i. A screen example of an operation screen in which characters in scenario Si can be selected will be described later with reference to FIG.

Further, the display control unit 802 acquires the performer information associated with the characters in the designated scenario Si from the storage unit 810. Then, the display control unit 802 displays the performer information corresponding to the acquired characters in the scenario Si so as to be able to determine that the performer is the character.

Here, the performer information is information that identifies the performer who plays the role of the character. The performer information is, for example, the name of the performer, an icon representing the performer, or the like. The performer information may include, for example, performer attributes such as gender and age.

In the following explanation, any character in scenario Si may be referred to as "character C".

Specifically, for example, when the display control unit 802 accepts the selection of the character C in the scenario Si, the display control unit 802 acquires the performer information associated with the selected character C from the storage unit 810. Then, the display control unit 802 displays the acquired performer information corresponding to the character C so as to be able to determine that the performer is the character C.

More specifically, for example, when the display control unit 802 accepts the selection of any character C in the scenario Si, the registration corresponding to the selected character C is registered from the registration voice DB 230 (see FIG. 6). Get voice information. The registered voice information corresponding to the selected character C is a registration in which the scenario ID of the specified scenario Si is set in the scenario ID field and the name of the selected character C is set in the character field. It is voice information.

Then, the display control unit 802 displays the sample playback screen on the user terminal 202 with reference to the acquired registered voice information. The sample playback screen is an operation screen that displays the performer specified from the registered voice information corresponding to the character C so as to be a performer for the character C. However, the sample reproduction screen may be generated by the information processing device 101 or may be generated by the user terminal 202. A screen example of the sample reproduction screen will be described later with reference to FIG.

Further, for example, the display control unit 802 may acquire the performer information associated with each character C of the designated scenario Si from the storage unit 810. Then, the display control unit 802 may display the acquired performer information corresponding to the character C for each character C in the scenario Si so as to be able to determine that the character is the performer for the character C. Good.

That is, the display control unit 802 may display the performer information for each character C in the scenario Si in a list instead of displaying the performer information only for the selected character C in the scenario Si. For example, the sample reproduction screen 120 shown in FIG. 1 is an example of an operation screen that displays a list of performer information for each character C in the scenario Si.

Further, the reception unit 801 accepts the designation of one or a plurality of performers for the character C in the scenario Si. The designated performer is, for example, a performer who wants to audition the voice when deciding the performer for the character C. The performer is designated, for example, on the sample reproduction screen displayed on the user terminal 202.

Specifically, for example, the reception unit 801 receives the designation of the performer for the character C by receiving the information for identifying the performer specified by the user's operation input on the sample playback screen from the user terminal 202. The information that identifies the performer is, for example, the name of the performer or the performer ID.

Each time the playback control unit 803 accepts the designation of one or a plurality of performers for the character C in the scenario Si, the voice registered by the designated performer for the same line of the character C. Play the data. The dialogue to be reproduced (the dialogue for sample reproduction) is determined by, for example, the dialogue of the character C by the determination unit 804. However, the dialogue to be reproduced may be set in advance. The voice data registered by the designated performer is specified, for example, from the registered voice information of the designated performer among the registered voice information corresponding to the character C.

For example, suppose that there are multiple performers for one character C in scenario Si. In this case, the reproduction control unit 803 receives the voice data registered by the one performer for the dialogue to be reproduced each time the user receives the designation of one of the plurality of performers for the one character C. To play.

More specifically, for example, when a performer is designated on the sample playback screen, the playback control unit 803 is used for sample playback from the registered voice information of the designated performer among the registered voice information corresponding to the character C. Acquire the voice data of the dialogue. Then, the reproduction control unit 803 transmits the acquired voice data to the user terminal 202, and outputs the voice data from the speaker 408 (see FIG. 4) of the user terminal 202.

As an example, assume that scenario Si is "scenario S1", character C is "taro", and "Hanako Yamada" is designated as the performer. In addition, the dialogue for sample reproduction of the character "Taro" is defined as the dialogue with the dialogue number "1". In this case, the reproduction control unit 803 acquires the voice data “Taro 1 voice” by referring to the registered voice information 600-1 in the registered voice DB 230. Then, the reproduction control unit 803 transmits the acquired voice data "Taro 1 voice" to the user terminal 202, and outputs the voice data "Taro 1 voice" from the speaker 408 of the user terminal 202.

As a result, the user simply specifies the performer "Hanako Yamada" of the character "Taro" on the sample playback screen, and the performer "Taro" has a sample playback dialogue (line number "1"). You can listen to the voice data "Taro 1 Voice" recorded by "Hanako Yamada".

The determination unit 804 determines the dialogue to be reproduced (sample reproduction dialogue) for the character C. Specifically, for example, the determination unit 804 may preferentially determine the lines for sample reproduction among the lines of the character C, in which the number of characters is a predetermined number α or more. Here, the predetermined number α can be arbitrarily set, and is set to a value of, for example, about 10 to 30.

In this case, each time the reproduction control unit 803 accepts the designation of one or a plurality of performers for the character C in the scenario Si, the designated performer is used for the determined sample reproduction dialogue. Plays the audio data registered by.

For example, assuming that the predetermined number α is “α = 10”, the dialogue “hot” of the dialogue number “1” of the character “Taro” in scenario S1 shown in FIG. 5 is a sample because the number of characters is 10 or less. Not determined as a playback line. As a result, it is possible to prevent a line for which it is difficult to judge the feeling of the performer's voice because the number of characters is too small to be determined as a sample reproduction line.

Further, the determination unit 804 may preferentially determine the lines for sample reproduction among the lines of the character C, in which the number of characters is a predetermined number α or more and a predetermined number β or less. Here, the predetermined number β can be arbitrarily set, and is set to, for example, a value of about 50 to 100. As a result, it is possible to prevent the lines for which the number of characters is too small to judge the feeling of the performer's voice and the lines for which the number of characters is too large and the audition takes a long time to be determined as the sample reproduction lines.

Further, the determination unit 804 may, for example, preferentially determine the dialogue for sample reproduction among the dialogue of the character C, which does not include the predetermined character code. Here, the predetermined character code is a character code corresponding to a character that is difficult to be expressed by a voice such as "...", "?", "!", "Tsu", ",", ".".

For example, the dialogue "..." of the dialogue number "3" of the character "Taro" in scenario S1 shown in FIG. 5 is not determined as the dialogue for sample reproduction because it includes "...". As a result, since characters that are difficult to express by voice are included, it is possible to prevent lines that are difficult to judge the feeling of the performer's voice from being determined as sample reproduction lines.

Further, the determination unit 804 may decide, for example, the dialogue for sample reproduction by giving priority to the dialogue appearing in the first half of the scenario Si among the dialogue of the character C. The first half of the scenario Si may be, for example, the front part in which all the lines of the scenario Si are divided into two front and rear parts, or may be a predetermined number of lines from the first line of the scenario Si.

For example, assuming that the total number of lines in scenario S1 is "20", the sample playback lines for the character "Taro" are determined from the lines of the character "Taro" included in the first 10 lines of scenario S1. .. As a result, the dialogue for sample reproduction can be determined in consideration of the fact that the dialogue that becomes spoiler tends to appear in the latter half of the scenario Si.

It is possible to arbitrarily set what kind of dialogue is prioritized to determine the dialogue for sample playback. For example, the extraction conditions used when determining the sample reproduction dialogue are set in advance and stored in the extraction condition DB 240 shown in FIG. 7. More specifically, for example, the determination unit 804 identifies the dialogue of the selected character C with reference to the scenario information 500-i of the scenario Si. Next, the determination unit 804 identifies the conditions (i) and (ii) with reference to the extraction condition DB 240 shown in FIG. 7. Then, the determination unit 804 refers to the specified condition (i) and counts the number of characters of the specified character C for each line. Next, the determination unit 804 refers to the specified condition (ii), counts the number of characters × 1 as the score of each dialogue for each dialogue of the specified character C, and extracts the dialogue with the highest score. Then, the determination unit 804 determines the extracted dialogue as the sample reproduction dialogue for the character C.

Here, it is assumed that the sample reproduction dialogue is determined from the dialogue numbers "1" to "4" of the character "Taro" in the scenario S1 shown in FIG. The number of characters in the dialogue "It's hot" in the dialogue number "1" is "3". Therefore, the score of the dialogue "It's hot" with the dialogue number "1" is "3 points". The number of characters in the line "It's hot today!" With the line number "2" is "6" because "!" Is not counted. Therefore, the score of the dialogue "It's hot today!" With the dialogue number "2" is "6 points". The number of characters in the dialogue "..." of the dialogue number "3" is "0" because "..." is not counted. Therefore, the score of the dialogue "..." of the dialogue number "3" is "0 points". The number of characters in the line "It doesn't look hot for that" of the line number "4" is "14". Therefore, the score of the dialogue "It doesn't look hot for that" of the dialogue number "4" is "14 points". In this case, the decision unit 804 has the highest score among the lines "1" to "4" of the character "Taro", the line number "4" "It doesn't look hot for that. Is determined as the sample playback dialogue.

The determined sample reproduction dialogue is stored in the storage unit 810 in association with the character C, for example. In this case, each time the playback control unit 803 receives the designation of the performer for the character C in the scenario Si, the designated performer requests the sample playback dialogue corresponding to the character C stored in the storage unit 810. Play the registered audio data.

Note that the count result of the number of characters (or points) for each line of the character C in the scenario Si may be stored in the scenario information 500-i as, for example, the attribute information of the line. As a result, in determining the sample reproduction dialogue of the character C, it is possible not to repeat the process of counting the number of characters (or points) for the same dialogue.

In addition, the reception unit 801 accepts the selection of the performer for the main reproduction from one or more performers for the character C in the scenario Si. The performer for this reproduction is a performer who plays the role of the character C when reproducing the content corresponding to the scenario Si. The content corresponding to the scenario Si is electronic data including the text of the scenario Si and the voice data of the dialogue for each character C in the scenario Si.

The performer for the main reproduction is selected, for example, on the sample reproduction screen displayed on the user terminal 202. Specifically, for example, the reception unit 801 receives information from the user terminal 202 that identifies the performer selected for the main playback by the user's operation input on the sample playback screen, so that the reception unit 801 receives the information of the performer regarding the character C. Accept your choice. Further, the reception unit 801 may accept the performer designated immediately before on the sample reproduction screen as the performer for the main reproduction.

However, in the initial state, the performer who first registered the voice data for the character C in the scenario Si may be selected as the performer for the main reproduction. Information that identifies the combination of the character C and the performer for each character C in the scenario Si is stored in the storage unit 810 in association with, for example, the user (logged-in user) of the user terminal 202.

The display control unit 802 displays the lines of the character C in the scenario Si in the order of remarks when playing back the content corresponding to the scenario Si. Specifically, for example, the display control unit 802 displays the lines corresponding to the character C in the order of remarks so that it can be determined that the lines correspond to the character C.

More specifically, for example, the display control unit 802 refers to the scenario DB 220 and displays the scenario reproduction screen on the user terminal 202. The scenario playback screen is an operation screen for playing back the content corresponding to the scenario Si. However, the scenario reproduction screen may be generated by the information processing device 101 or may be generated by the user terminal 202. A screen example of the scenario reproduction screen will be described later with reference to FIG.

Further, when the playback control unit 803 reproduces the content corresponding to the scenario Si, the reproduction control unit 803 reproduces the voice data registered by the selected performer for the dialogue of the character C. Instructions such as playback start, pause, and playback end of the content corresponding to the scenario Si are given, for example, on the scenario playback screen displayed on the user terminal 202.

Specifically, for example, when the reproduction control unit 803 receives the reproduction start instruction of the content corresponding to the scenario Si, the reproduction control unit 803 refers to the scenario DB 220 and sequentially selects the dialogue to be reproduced. Next, each time the reproduction control unit 803 selects a dialogue to be reproduced, the reproduction control unit 803 refers to the registered voice DB 230 and acquires the voice data registered by the performer selected as the performer for the main reproduction for the selected dialogue. .. Then, the reproduction control unit 803 transmits the acquired voice data to the user terminal 202, and outputs the voice data from the speaker 408 of the user terminal 202.

Further, the reproduction control unit 803 may output, for example, an audio data group summarizing the audio data of the performer for the main reproduction for each character C in the scenario Si to the user terminal 202. In this case, the user terminal 202 may sequentially output the voice data of the dialogue for each character C in the scenario Si in the order of speech based on the received voice data group.

This makes it possible to continuously play the lines for each character C in the scenario Si in the order of remarks.

Further, the reception unit 801 may accept a share request for sharing the combination of the character C and the performer in the scenario Si with other users. The share request is made, for example, when sharing a recommended combination of the character C and the performer with another user. The share request is made, for example, on the scenario reproduction screen displayed on the user terminal 202.

Further, when the reproduction control unit 803 receives the share request, the reproduction control unit 803 generates combination information for specifying the combination of the character C in the scenario Si and the performer selected as the performer for the main reproduction, and the generated combination information. Is output. The combination information is represented by, for example, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator).

Specifically, for example, when the playback control unit 803 receives a share request from the user terminal 202, the characters in the scenario Si are stored in the storage unit 810 in association with the user (logged-in user) of the user terminal 202. Identify the combination of C and the performer. Next, the reproduction control unit 803 generates combination information that specifies the combination of the character C and the performer in the specified scenario Si.

More specifically, for example, the reproduction control unit 803 generates the URL "cm-app: // service / scenario S1 / Taro: Hanako Yamada / Hanako: Taro Yamada /" as the combination information of the scenario S1. Then, the reproduction control unit 803 transmits the generated combination information to the user terminal 202.

As a result, the user can provide other users with combination information indicating a recommended combination of the character C and the performer in the scenario Si by using, for example, SNS (Social Networking Service) or e-mail. it can.

Further, when the reproduction control unit 803 receives the combination information from the user, when reproducing the content corresponding to the scenario Si, the reproduction control unit 803 reproduces the voice data registered by the performer specified from the combination information with respect to the dialogue of the character C. To do. Specifically, for example, when the playback control unit 803 receives the URL "cm-app: // service / scenario S1 / Taro: Hanako Yamada / Hanako: Taro Yamada /", the playback control unit 803 reproduces the content corresponding to the scenario S1. At that time, the voice data registered by the performers (Taro: Hanako Yamada, Hanako: Taro Yamada) specified from the URL is reproduced for the lines of each character C (Taro, Hanako).

As a result, the recommended combination of the character C and the performer in the scenario Si selected by a certain user can be shared by a plurality of users.

Note that each functional unit of the information processing device 101 may be realized by, for example, the user terminal 202. In this case, the user terminal 202 acquires, for example, various information used in each functional unit (for example, scenario information in the scenario DB 220, registered voice information in the registered voice DB 230, and conditions in the extraction condition DB 240) from the information processing device 101. To do. Further, each functional unit of the information processing device 101 may be realized by a plurality of computers (for example, the information processing device 101 and the user terminal 202) in the voice reproduction system 200.

The scenario reproduction screen may be generated by the user terminal 202 or may be generated by the information processing device 101.

When the user terminal 202 accepts the selection of any character C in the scenario Si by the user's operation input on the scenario reproduction screen (step S1704), the user terminal 202 displays a sample reproduction screen for the selected character C. (Step S1705).

When any performer for the character C is designated by the user's operation input on the sample playback screen, the user terminal 202 transmits information identifying the designated performer to the information processing device 101 (step S1706). ).

When the information processing device 101 receives the information that identifies the designated performer, the information processing device 101 refers to the registered voice DB 230, and among the registered voice information corresponding to the character C specified from the information, the registered voice of the designated performer. From the information, the voice data of the sample reproduction dialogue is acquired (step S1707).

The sample playback dialogue for character C is determined from the dialogue of character C. The specific processing procedure for determining the sample reproduction dialogue for the character C will be described later with reference to FIG.

The information processing device 101 transmits the acquired voice data of the sample reproduction dialogue to the user terminal 202 (step S1708). The user terminal 202 reproduces the sample reproduction dialogue for the selected character C by outputting the received voice data from the speaker 408 (step S1709).

In the sequence diagram of FIG. 18, when the performer for the main reproduction of the character C is selected by the user's operation input on the sample reproduction screen, the user terminal 202 identifies the selected performer for the main reproduction. Information is transmitted to the information processing device 101 (step S1801).

When the information processing device 101 receives the information for identifying the selected performer for the main reproduction, the information processing device 101 refers to the registered voice DB 230 and selects the registered voice information corresponding to the character C specified from the information. Acquire the registered voice information of the performer (step S1802). Then, the information processing device 101 transmits the acquired registered voice information to the user terminal 202 (step S1803).

The user terminal 202 reproduces the content corresponding to the scenario Si when the play button is selected by the user's operation input on the scenario reproduction screen (step S1804). Specifically, for example, the user terminal 202 sequentially selects the dialogue to be reproduced, and outputs the voice data registered by the performer selected as the performer for the main reproduction from the speaker 408 for the selected dialogue.

As a result, the user can check the voice of the sample playback dialogue for each performer for the character C in the scenario Si, and determine the performer of his / her preference. Further, it is possible to specify a performer of his / her own preference for each character C in the scenario Si and play the content corresponding to the scenario Si.

(Procedure for determining dialogue for sample reproduction of information processing device 101)
Next, the procedure for determining the dialogue for sample reproduction of the information processing apparatus 101 will be described with reference to FIG. The sample reproduction dialogue determination process is a process for determining the sample reproduction dialogue for the character C in the scenario Si.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of the sample reproduction dialogue determination processing procedure of the information processing apparatus 101. In the flowchart of FIG. 19, first, the information processing apparatus 101 refers to the scenario information 500-i of the scenario Si in the scenario DB 220, and selects an unselected line among the lines of the character C ( Step S1901).

Then, the information processing apparatus 101 refers to the extraction condition DB 240 and selects characters such as "...", "?", "!", "Tsu", ",", and "." Without counting them. The number of characters in the dialogue is counted (step S1902). Next, the information processing device 101 determines whether or not there is an unselected line among the lines of the character C (step S1903).

Here, if there is an unselected line (step S1903: Yes), the information processing device 101 returns to step S1901. On the other hand, when there is no unselected dialogue (step S1903: No), the information processing apparatus 101 refers to the extraction condition DB 240 and uses the counted number of characters as the score of each dialogue to specify the dialogue with the highest score. (Step S1904).

Next, the information processing device 101 determines the specified dialogue as the sample reproduction dialogue (step S1905). Then, the information processing apparatus 101 stores the determined sample reproduction dialogue in association with the character C in the scenario Si (step S1906), and ends a series of processes according to this flowchart.

This makes it possible to determine the dialogue with a large number of characters among the dialogue of character C as the dialogue for sample playback. Also, when counting the number of characters in the dialogue, the feeling of the performer's voice is judged by not counting the characters such as "...", "?", "!", "Tsu", ",", "." It is possible to prevent difficult lines from being determined as sample reproduction lines.

Note that in step S1901, the information processing device 101 may select the lines that appear in the first half of the scenario Si from the lines of the character C. This makes it possible to prevent spoiler lines from being determined as sample reproduction lines.

The sample reproduction dialogue determination process may be executed, for example, when the scenario information of scenario Si is newly registered. Further, the sample reproduction dialogue determination process may be executed, for example, when the information processing apparatus 101 receives information specifying the performer specified on the sample reproduction screen from the user terminal 202.

As described above, according to the information processing apparatus 101 according to the embodiment, when the user receives the designation of the scenario Si, the performer information associated with the character C of the designated scenario Si is acquired from the storage unit 810. Then, the performer information corresponding to the character C of the acquired scenario Si can be displayed so as to be able to determine that the performer is the character C. Further, according to the information processing device 101, each time the designation of any one of the plurality of performers for any of the characters C in the scenario Si is accepted, the same line of the character C (for sample reproduction) is received. The voice data registered by the designated performer can be played back for the dialogue).

As a result, even if there are a plurality of performers for the character C in the scenario Si, the designated performer can be specified for the sample playback dialogue by simply designating one of the plurality of performers. You can audition the recorded voice. Further, even if the performer to reproduce the sample is switched, the voice of the same line of the character C is reproduced, so that the voice of the performer can be easily compared.

Further, according to the information processing device 101, among the lines of the character C, the lines having a predetermined number of characters α or more can be preferentially determined as the sample reproduction lines.

This makes it possible to prevent lines for which it is difficult to judge the feeling of the performer's voice because the number of characters is too small to be determined as the sample playback line.

Further, according to the information processing device 101, among the lines of the character C, the lines having a predetermined number of characters α or more and a predetermined number β or less can be preferentially determined as the sample reproduction lines.

This makes it possible to prevent lines that are too few characters to judge the feeling of the performer's voice, or lines that are too many characters and take a long time to audition, to be determined as sample playback lines.

Further, according to the information processing device 101, among the lines of the character C, the lines that do not include the predetermined character code can be preferentially determined as the sample reproduction lines.

This makes it possible to prevent lines containing characters that are difficult to express by voice, such as "...", "?", And "!", To be determined as sample playback lines.

Further, according to the information processing device 101, among the lines of the character C, the lines appearing in the first half of the scenario Si can be prioritized and determined as the sample reproduction lines.

This makes it possible to prevent spoiler lines from being determined as sample playback lines.

Further, according to the information processing device 101, when the selection of the performer for the main reproduction is received from a plurality of performers for the character C and the content corresponding to the scenario Si is reproduced, the dialogue of the character C is selected. The audio data registered by the performer can be played back.

As a result, when the user reads or listens to the content corresponding to the scenario Si, he / she can specify and enjoy the desired combination of the character C and the performer.

Further, according to the information processing device 101, when the request for sharing the combination of the character C and the performer in the scenario Si is received with another user, the character C and the performer selected as the performer for the main reproduction are received. It is possible to generate combination information that specifies the combination of and output the generated combination information. Then, according to the information processing device 101, when the combination information is received from the user, when the content corresponding to the scenario Si is reproduced, the voice data registered by the performer specified from the combination information is input to the dialogue of the character C. Can be played.

This makes it possible for a plurality of users to share the recommended combination of the character C and the performer in the scenario Si specified by a certain user.

Further, according to the information processing device 101, when the user receives the designation of the scenario Si, the performer information associated with each character C of the designated scenario Si is acquired from the storage unit 810, and the character C of the scenario Si is obtained. For each, the acquired performer information corresponding to the character C can be displayed so as to be able to determine that the performer is the character C.

As a result, the performer information for all the characters C in the scenario Si can be displayed in a list, and it is possible to easily confirm the performers that can be specified for each character C.

From these facts, according to the information processing apparatus 101 and the voice reproduction system 200 according to the embodiment, when there are a plurality of performers for the character C in the scenario Si, one of the plurality of performers is performed. By simply performing a simple operation of specifying, the voice recorded by each performer can be auditioned for the same line of the character C. As a result, even when there are a plurality of performers for the character C, it is possible to easily specify a performer of his / her choice from the plurality of performers.

As another example of the configuration described above, for example, the user terminal 202 may be configured to accept the designation of any of the lines in the scenario Si before and after step S1706. When the user terminal 202 accepts the designation of the dialogue, when any of the performers for the character C is designated by the user's operation input on the subsequent sample playback screen, the information for identifying the designated performer and the information Information that identifies the specified dialogue in scenario Si is transmitted to the information processing device 101. In step S1707, when the information processing device 101 receives the information specifying the designated performer and the information specifying the designated dialogue, the information processing device 101 refers to the registered voice DB 230 and corresponds to the character C specified from the information. From the registered voice information of the specified performer among the registered voice information to be processed, the specified dialogue is acquired as the voice data of the sample playback dialogue. After that, each time the performer is designated, the user terminal 202 transmits information identifying the performer to the information processing device 101, and the information processing device 101 acquires the designated dialogue as voice data of the sample reproduction dialogue. ..
