[0042] figure 1 A block diagram showing the functional configuration of the information providing device according to the present embodiment. In this figure, 101 is a communication unit for transmitting and receiving information with the Internet, a mobile phone communication network, etc. by wireless or wired. 102 is an information storage unit that stores text information such as mail and Web information received through the communication unit 101 . 103 is a sound output device such as headphones or earphones (headset), which is used by the user to prevent sound or music from leaking to the surroundings when listening. 104 is a sound output device connection unit that connects the sound output device 103 to the information providing device and functions as an I / F that generates a signal based on sound or music information from the information providing device and outputs it to the sound output device 103 . 105 is an information output method switching unit for judging whet...
no. 2 Embodiment approach
[0054] In the information providing device according to the first embodiment, the information providing method is switched to voice output or display output depending on whether or not the voice output device 103 is connected. However, when information is provided by display output, information may be provided by display output for notification to the user. Provided events can be notified by notification sound and vibrator.
[0055] Figure 5 A block diagram showing the functional configuration of the information providing device according to the present embodiment. In this figure, with figure 1 The same numbers are used for the same parts, and their descriptions are omitted here. exist Figure 5 Among them, 501 is a plurality of methods such as notification sound output, vibrator, LED lighting, an icon indicating that information is provided by display output for notification to the information display output unit 107, etc., or a combination of them. The method notifies t...
no. 3 Embodiment approach
[0058] In the first and second embodiments described above, the synthesized speech generated by the speech synthesis unit 106 is output as it is. However, the user may listen to music or the like while wearing the audio output device 103 . That is, there is a case where other sound (music) has already been output by the sound output device 103 .
[0059] Therefore, it is possible to provide the user with the synthesized sound superimposed on the music the user is listening to. Figure 6 A block diagram showing the functional configuration of the information providing device according to the present embodiment. In this figure, with figure 1 The same numbers are used for the same parts, and their descriptions are omitted here. exist Figure 6 Among them, 601 is a music data storage unit for storing music data, and these data are output to the sound output device 103 as sequence signals, and music is provided to the user wearing the sound output device 103 .
[0060] 602 is ...
