Audible stickers

Abstract

To provide a sticker printed with a QR code (registered trademark) that allows the contents of character information to be heard, does not become a reading barrier even when difficult kanji characters or words appear, and allows a visually impaired person to know the location. [Solution] The sticker 1 of this invention stores data and videos of machine-generated voice reading text information using software and generation AI in the cloud, and has a QR code (registered trademark) 2 printed on it that contains the URL required to access the machine-generated voice data and videos on the cloud. The sticker is then affixed to an object.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] Using generative AI and software, content containing difficult kanji characters and mathematical formulas is read out loud in a machine voice to avoid misunderstandings, and the read data and videos are then stored in the cloud.

[0002] The URL required to access the machine voice data and videos on the cloud has been converted into a QR code (registered trademark).

[0003] This QR code (registered trademark) is printed on a sticker, and by accessing the machine-generated audio data and video on the cloud using a smartphone or other device that has the ability to read QR codes (registered trademarks), users can directly listen to the audio and video, eliminating the barrier to reading even when difficult kanji or words appear. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] It was necessary to understand the relationship between the reading speed and listening speed of the content of the written information and to adjust the listening speed for the audio appropriately. Furthermore, even if the content of the text information to be converted into audio can be expressed visually, there are many cases where it is not yet possible to express it aurally. Examples of this are mathematical formulas and scientific expressions. These had to be rephrased in a way that would not be misunderstood when heard, and the text information and audio information had to be expressed in a way that would match. Additionally, for videos, the appropriate amount of information had to be stored in the cloud depending on the content, and then made available for viewing. Furthermore, since it is difficult for visually impaired people to locate the QR Code (registered trademark), it was necessary to make it possible for them to determine its location by touch. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The average speed at which text information is read aloud is set at 40 characters per 10 seconds, meaning that the standard speed is 4 characters per second. In contrast, the standard listening speed is set at 6 characters (sounds) per second. For example, in the case of educational videos aimed at 13- or 14-year-olds, the audio speed of the video is set at 6 characters per second or more, and the amount of information in one learning content is limited to around 1 to 2 minutes. For the visually impaired, the thick stickers can be found by touch. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] It has become possible to easily provide necessary information through audio and video. In addition, by attaching a sticker to an object, even people with visual impairments can find the location of the QR code (registered trademark). [Brief explanation of the drawings]

Claims

[Claim 1] The contents of the text are converted into audio data or video using software or generative AI, which is then stored in the cloud. The URL required to access the audio data or video is then converted into a QR code, and this QR code is printed on a sticker.
