Memory Dialogue Interface System

Abstract

This invention provides a memory interaction interface system that enables operations simulating dialogue or phone calls with a stored object in the user interface for accessing information related to the stored object. [Solution] A memory interaction interface system that accesses stored information 5 on a network by reading identification information 2 assigned to a storage medium 1 with a terminal 3, and includes a call operation means 7 that displays a stored image 6 and simulates a conversation or call with the stored image, a voice input means 8 that accepts voice input from the user, a time control means 9 that controls the duration of the conversation or call, a recall control means 10 that controls a recall, a status display means 11, a history display means 12, and a message display means 13. [Effect] By reading the identification information assigned to the storage medium, information related to the stored object can be easily accessed. Furthermore, by providing a user interface that simulates interaction or a phone call with the stored object, information related to the stored object can be used intuitively.

Description

Technical Field

[0004]

[0001] The present invention relates to a user interface system for accessing memory information associated with a memory medium, and more particularly to a memory dialogue interface system that provides an operation for simulating a dialogue or a call with a memory target.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, photographs, souvenirs, Buddhist utensils, recording media, etc. have been used as means for storing or sharing memory information regarding the deceased or past events. In recent years, technologies for accessing information associated with a physical medium via a network using communication means such as QR codes and NFC have been utilized. However, in the conventional technology, a user interface that provides an experience of talking to a memory target has not been sufficiently proposed, and there has been no system for a user to perform an operation of interacting with a memory target.

Summary of the Invention

[0003] An object of the present invention is to provide a user interface that enables a user to perform an operation of talking to a memory target with respect to memory information associated with a memory medium. Another object of the present invention is to provide a memory dialogue interface system that enables access to memory information regarding a memory target through an operation of simulating a dialogue or a call.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Conventional memory media have mainly been used as means for storing or browsing memory information, but a user interface for a user to access memory information through an operation of talking to a memory target has not been provided. Therefore, there was a need for a new user interface that would allow for experiential interaction with the memory object. This invention aims to solve the aforementioned problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The memory dialogue interface system of the present invention is characterized by comprising: display means for displaying memory information related to a memory object; call operation means for providing a user interface that simulates a dialogue or call with the memory object; voice input means for receiving voice input from the user; time control means for controlling the duration of the dialogue or call; re-call control means for restricting a certain period of time after the end of the dialogue or call; state display means for displaying the state of the dialogue or call; and memory information display means for displaying the memory information after the end of the dialogue or call. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] According to this invention, users can perform operations that allow them to "talk" to the stored data, providing an experiential user interface that was not present in conventional storage media. Furthermore, by controlling the duration of conversations or calls and the ability to re-call, it is possible to provide a more realistic dialogue experience with the stored information. Furthermore, by displaying dialogue history and message information, access to stored information related to the stored item can be provided as a richer experience. (Embodiment)

[0007] The embodiments of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The memory interaction interface system of this invention has a configuration that allows access to a memory information system on a network by reading identification information assigned to a storage medium. The aforementioned identification information may include QR codes, NFC, and other forms of identification information. Users can access the memory-based interactive interface system by reading the identification information using a device such as a smartphone. The user interface is provided with call operation means for performing operations that simulate dialogue or phone calls with the stored data. When the user operates the call control device, the user's voice input is received by the voice input device, and the dialogue or call is initiated. The duration of the aforementioned dialogue or call is controlled by a time control means. Furthermore, after the conclusion of the aforementioned conversation or call, a call re-call control means restricts further calls or conversations for a certain period of time. While the aforementioned call re-call control is being performed, the status display means displays the status of the stored item. For example, the system could be configured to display status information such as whether the user is out or asleep. Furthermore, the history of the dialogue or call may be configured to be displayed as history information. Furthermore, the history information may be configured to display message information related to the stored item. Furthermore, the storage medium in this invention can be any medium that can be associated with information related to the item to be stored, and can be configured as various types of media such as souvenirs, recording media, ornaments, and commemorative plates.
