Information provision system and vehicle-mounted device

Abstract

Provided is an information provision system which is structured such that a portable terminal device acquires provided information containing character data from an information distribution server device, transmits partial data which is a portion of the character data to a voice synthesis server device, acquires voice data which is data for which the partial data have been converted to voice from the voice synthesis server device, and instructs display of provided information corresponding to the voice data using a vehicle-mounted device when a predetermined notification is received from the vehicle-mounted device; whereupon the vehicle-mounted device displays the information from the portable terminal device, plays back the voice data, and if a selection operation by the user is received, notifies the portable terminal device that there has been a selection operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information providing system having a portable terminal device that provides predetermined information to a vehicle-mounted device, an information providing system of the vehicle-mounted device, and a vehicle-mounted device, and particularly relates to an information providing system capable of suppressing a processing load on a portable terminal without compromising driving safety, and On-board device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there are known portable terminals such as mobile phones that acquire character information published on a Web (World Wide Web) page on a portal site, perform voice synthesis processing on the acquired character information, and then output voice. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an information providing system and a portable terminal that receive text content distributed from an information distribution server and convert it into audio data. [0003] Specifically...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

That is, since the driver who is in the driving of the motor vehicle is prohibited from using the portable terminal while driving, there is a problem that the above-mentioned selection operation cannot be performed by itself.

[0012] In addition, even if the technology of Patent Document 1 is applied to a motor vehicle, the result is that the driver is forced to perform multiple selection operations, and there is a problem that driving safety cannot be ensured.

[0013] Furthermore, as in Patent Document 1, when voice conversion is performed with a mobile terminal, not only the manufacturing cost of the mobile terminal increases, but also there is a problem that the processing load on the mobile terminal is consumed.
