Problems solved by technology

[0012] In addition, in Patent Document 3, although the voice of the other party in the call state is loud and easy to distinguish, since the voices of many other people are mixed as environmental sounds, there is a problem that it is difficult to distinguish the voices of many other people. voice of a particular other
[0013] In addition, since the characteristics of the speaker's voice are not considered in Patent Document 4, when similar voices are arranged in close positions, there is a problem that it is difficult to distinguish each voice.

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0057] figure 1 It is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the auditory display device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. figure 1 Among them, the auditory display device 100 inputs sound from the sound input device 201 , and stores the sound converted into numerical data (hereinafter referred to as sound data) in the sound storage device 203 . In addition, the auditory display device 100 acquires the sound stored in the sound storage device 203 and outputs it to the sound output device 202. In this example, it is assumed that the auditory display device 100 is a mobile terminal that performs two-way audio communication.

[0058] The voice input device 201 is constituted by a microphone or the like, and converts the air vibration of voice into an electric signal. The audio output device 202 is composed of stereo headphones or the like, and converts input audio data into air vibrations. The audio storage device 203 is constituted by...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0117] In the second embodiment, compared with the first embodiment, the structure related to the sound arrangement processing unit is removed from the auditory display device 100a, and the sound storage device 203a has the structure of the sound arrangement processing unit. Figure 11A It is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the voice storage device 203a according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Below, yes and figure 1 The same constituent elements are assigned the same reference numerals, and descriptions of overlapping parts are omitted. The auditory display device 100a is from figure 1 The structure of the sound management part 109, the sound analysis part 105, the sound arrangement part 106, and the sound mixing part 107 are excluded from the structure. The auditory display device 100 a uses the audio output unit 108 to output the audio data received by the audio transceiver unit 103 from the audio storage device 203 a from the audio ...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0123] Figure 12A It is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the auditory display device 100b according to the third embodiment of the present invention. Below, yes and figure 1 The same constituent elements are assigned the same reference numerals, and descriptions of overlapping parts are omitted. The third embodiment of the present invention and figure 1 In contrast, the configuration does not include the voice input device 201 and the voice input unit 102 . In addition, the auditory display device 100 b includes a sound acquisition unit 601 instead of the sound transmission and reception unit 103 . The audio acquisition unit 601 acquires audio data from the audio storage device 203 . In addition, if Figure 12B As shown, the auditory display device 100b may also be connected to a plurality of sound storage devices 203 and 204, and obtain a plurality of sound data from the plurality of sound storage devices 203 and 204.

[0124] Furthermore, the voice a...

Abstract

Provided is an auditory display device which arranges speech in such a way that items of speech having nearby fundamental frequencies are not adjacent to one another. A speech transmitting / receiving unit (103) receives speech data. A speech analyzer (105) analyzes the speech data and calculates the fundamental frequency of the speech data. A speech arrangement unit (106) compares the fundamental frequency of the speech data to the fundamental frequency of adjacent speech data and arranges the speech data in such a way that the difference between the fundamental frequencies is the largest possible value therefor. A speech management unit (109) manages the arrangement positions of the speech data. A speech mixing unit (107) mixes the speech data with the adjacent speech data. A speech output unit (108) outputs the mixed speech data to a speech output device (202).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an auditory display device in which sounds are arranged three-dimensionally so that a plurality of sounds can be easily distinguished at the same time. Background technique [0002] In recent years, mobile phones, as a kind of mobile devices, have functions such as sending and receiving e-mails or browsing web pages in addition to the conventional voice call functions, and the communication methods and services in the mobile environment are also diversified. In the existing mobile environment, the operation methods of functions such as sending and receiving emails and browsing web pages are mainly centered on vision. However, vision-centric manipulation methods like this, while informative and intuitive, come with dangers in moving processes such as walking or driving a vehicle. [0003] In addition, the originally auditory-centric voice call function of mobile phones was established as a means of communication. Howev...
