Description

[Technical field]

[0001] An embodiment of the present invention relates to an information display method, an information display device, and an information display program. [Background technology]

[0002] 1 Use Case of Digital WorkersPresentations are important at exhibitions, meetings, etc. To make a highly appealing presentation, it is necessary to repeatedly rehearse and brush up on it while finding areas for improvement before the actual event.

[0003] One method of brushing up a presentation is to record the rehearsal presentation with a video camera or the like, and have the user view the recorded presentation to find areas for improvement.

[0004] In this method, the user often feels that the tone of voice and actions of the user are far removed from their own perception. In such cases, the user cannot face his / her own actual behavior and finds it difficult to look back objectively.

[0005] Non-Patent Document 1 discloses a technology that visualizes the presentation situation with an avatar, performs real-time diagnosis of relatively simple actions such as face direction and speaking speed, and suggests improvements to face direction and speaking speed. This technology is limited to expressing only simple actions in numerical values, and does not diagnose complex gesture movements. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, a system including an information presentation device according to an embodiment will be described with reference to Figs.

[0014] (1-1) System Configuration 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a system including an information presentation device according to an embodiment. This system operates a presentation scenario for user confirmation, executes a presentation according to the operated scenario, and displays the current execution content as text information.

[0015] The system includes an information presentation device 10, an input device 60 for inputting a presentation scenario, a scenario operation device 70 for operating the scenario, and a proxy device 80 for acting as a proxy in the presentation.

[0016] The input device 60 is a device for inputting a presentation scenario to the information presentation device 10. In general, a scenario is composed of multiple slides. Each slide includes verbal actions and non-verbal actions. In other words, each slide includes oral content, slide content, and gestural actions.

[0017] The scenario operating device 70 is a device for inputting operation contents of a scenario to the information presentation device 10. The scenario operating device 70 is also a device for displaying the results of operations performed by the information presentation device 10.

[0018] The information presentation device 10 is a device that determines an execution scenario to be executed by the proxy device 80 based on a scenario input from the input device 60 and operation contents input from the scenario operation device 70, causes the proxy device 80 to execute the execution scenario, and displays the current execution contents by the proxy device 80 as text information on the scenario operation device 70.

[0019] The proxy device 80 is a device that executes a presentation according to an execution scenario provided by the information presentation device 10. The proxy device 80 may be any device or system that can express three elements, namely, aural content, slide content, and gesture motion. FIG. 3 shows, as an example, a virtual agent 80A that executes a presentation in a virtual space. FIG. 4 shows, as another example, a robot 80B that executes a presentation in a real space.

[0020] (1-2) Functional configuration of information presentation device 10 Next, a functional configuration of the information display device 10 according to the embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG.

[0021] The control unit 20 executes various operations required for the information presentation device 10. The control unit 20 executes an operation of acquiring a scenario, an operation of acquiring operation details, an operation of determining an execution scenario based on the scenario and the operation details, an operation of outputting an operation instruction to be executed by the proxy device 80, and an operation of outputting a display instruction to be displayed on the scenario operation device 70 with the current execution details.

[0022] The storage unit 40 stores a presentation scenario input from the input device 60 .

[0023] The input / output interface 50 inputs and outputs data between the control unit 20, the input device 60, the scenario operation device 70, and the proxy device 80. In detail, the input / output interface 50 inputs a scenario input from the input device 60 to the control unit 20. The input / output interface 50 inputs operation contents input from the scenario operation device 70 to the control unit 20, and outputs operation results output from the control unit 20 to the scenario operation device 70. The input / output interface 50 outputs the execution scenario output from the control unit 20 to the proxy device 80.

[0024] The information presentation device 10 is broadly divided in terms of functionality into a scenario control device 10a and a presentation control device 10b. The scenario control device 10a determines an execution scenario to be executed by the proxy device 80 based on a scenario input from the input device 60 and operation contents input from the scenario operation device 70. The presentation control device 10b causes the proxy device 80 to execute the execution scenario. The scenario control device 10a also causes the scenario operation device 70 to display the current execution contents by the proxy device 80 as text information based on instructions and information from the presentation control device 10b.

[0025] The control unit 20 has, as functional components related to the scenario control device 10a, a scenario acquisition unit 21, an operation content acquisition unit 22, an execution range setting unit 23, an execution level setting unit 24, an execution scenario determination unit 25, and an operation result output unit 26. The control unit 20 has, as functional components related to the presentation control device 10b, an execution scenario acquisition unit 31, an instruction output unit 32, and an execution position notification unit 33. In addition, the storage unit 40 has a scenario storage unit 41 as a functional component related to the scenario control device 10a.

[0026] The scenario acquisition unit 21 acquires a presentation scenario from the input device 60. The scenario acquisition unit 21 also outputs the acquired scenario to the scenario storage unit 41.

[0027] The scenario storage unit 41 stores the scenario input from the scenario acquisition unit 21. The scenario storage unit 41 does not need to be built into the information presentation device 10, and may be connected to the information presentation device 10 via a network.

[0028] The operation content acquisition unit 22 acquires operation content from the scenario operation device 70. The operation content includes the execution range of the scenario and the confirmation level of the scenario.

[0029] The execution range setting unit 23 acquires the execution range of the scenario from the operation content acquisition unit 22, and sets the execution range of the scenario.

[0030] The execution level setting unit 24 acquires the confirmation level of the scenario from the operation content acquiring unit 22, and sets the execution level of the scenario based on the confirmation level.

[0031] The execution scenario determination unit 25 obtains the execution range of the scenario from the execution range setting unit 23, and obtains the execution level of the scenario from the execution level setting unit 24. Furthermore, the execution scenario determination unit 25 reads necessary slides from the scenario storage unit 41 according to the execution range, and processes the read slides according to the execution level to determine the execution scenario.

[0032] The execution scenario acquisition unit 31 acquires an execution scenario from the execution scenario determination unit 25. The execution scenario acquisition unit 31 also supplies the acquired execution scenario to the instruction output unit 32 and the execution position notification unit 33.

[0033] The instruction output unit 32 outputs, to the agent device 80, an instruction for an operation to be executed by the agent device 80 based on the execution scenario supplied from the execution scenario acquisition unit 31.

[0034] The execution position notifying unit 33 notifies the operation result output unit 26 of the current execution position of the execution scenario, and also supplies the contents of the execution scenario.

[0035] The operation result output section 26 outputs a display instruction to the scenario operating device 70 to cause the scenario operating device 70 to display the current execution content of the execution scenario.

[0036] (1-3) Hardware configuration of information presentation device 10 Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of the information presentation device 10. As described above, the information presentation device 10 is configured by, for example, a computer. As shown in Fig. 2, the information presentation device 10 has, as its hardware configuration, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 91, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 92, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 93, an auxiliary storage device 94, and an input / output interface 50. The CPU 91, the RAM 92, the ROM 93, the auxiliary storage device 94, and the input / output interface 50 are electrically connected to each other via a bus 95.

[0037] The CPU 91 is an example of a general-purpose hardware processor, and controls the overall operation of the information display device 10 .

[0038] The RAM 92 is a main storage device and is configured with a volatile memory such as a Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), etc. The RAM 92 temporarily stores programs and information required for the processing executed by the CPU 91.

[0039] The ROM 93 non-temporarily stores programs and information necessary for the basic processing of the CPU 91 .

[0040] The CPU 91 , RAM 92 , and ROM 93 constitute a control unit 20 of the information presentation device 10 .

[0041] The auxiliary storage device 94 is configured with a non-volatile storage medium such as a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid state drive (SSD). The auxiliary storage device 94 configures the storage unit 40. In other words, the auxiliary storage device 94 configures the scenario storage unit 41.

[0042] The auxiliary storage device 94 also stores an information presentation program necessary for the operation of the information presentation device 10. The information presentation program is a program that causes the CPU 91 to execute the functions of the control unit 20. In other words, the information presentation program is a program that causes the CPU 91 to execute the functions of the scenario acquisition unit 21, the operation content acquisition unit 22, the execution range setting unit 23, the execution level setting unit 24, the execution scenario determination unit 25, the operation result output unit 26, the execution scenario acquisition unit 31, the instruction output unit 32, and the execution position notification unit 33. For example, the information presentation program is recorded on a storage medium such as an optical disk, and is read into the auxiliary storage device 94. Alternatively, the program is stored in a server on a network, and is downloaded to the auxiliary storage device 94.

[0043] The CPU 91 loads the information presentation program from the auxiliary storage device 94 into the RAM 92 and executes it, thereby operating as a scenario acquisition unit 21, an operation content acquisition unit 22, an execution range setting unit 23, an execution level setting unit 24, an execution scenario determination unit 25, an operation result output unit 26, an execution scenario acquisition unit 31, an instruction output unit 32, and an execution position notification unit 33.

[0044] The scenario acquisition unit 21, the operation content acquisition unit 22, the execution range setting unit 23, the execution level setting unit 24, the execution scenario determination unit 25, the operation result output unit 26, the execution scenario acquisition unit 31, the instruction output unit 32 and the execution position notification unit 33 may be composed of integrated circuits such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or an FPGA (field-programmable gate array) instead of being composed of a CPU 91 and a RAM 92.

[0045] (2-1) Operation of Information Presentation Device 10 Next, a description will be given of the operation of the information display device 10 configured as above. Each operation of the information display device 10 is executed by cooperation between the control unit 20, the storage unit 40, and the input / output interface 50. The following description will focus on each functional component of the control unit 20.

[0046] The operation of the information display device 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the information display device 10.

[0047] In step S101, the scenario acquisition unit 21 acquires a presentation scenario from the input device 60.

[0048] In step S102, the scenario acquisition unit 21 stores the acquired scenario in the scenario storage unit 41.

[0049] A scenario is composed of multiple slides that are executed in chronological order, each of which includes spoken content and non-verbal actions.

[0050] Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a scenario stored in the scenario storage unit 41. The scenario shown in Fig. 6 has slide 1, slide 2, ..., slide 10. Each of slide 1, slide 2, ..., slide 10 has spoken content and non-verbal actions.

[0051] Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram showing, in a table format, an example of the scenario data shown in Fig. 6. As shown in Fig. 7, the scenario data has items such as slide number, action to be performed, start delay time, duration, and parameters.

[0052] The slide number is information for identifying multiple slides. The performed actions are divided into verbal actions and non-verbal actions. Verbal actions include speaking, and non-verbal actions include pointing, facial direction, raising an arm, bowing, etc. The start delay time indicates the delay time of the start of the action based on the start of each slide. The duration time indicates the time from the start to the end of the action. The parameters indicate information such as various settings of the action. The start delay time, duration time, and parameters are set for each performed action.

[0053] In step S103, the operation content acquisition unit 22 acquires operation content from the scenario operation device 70. The operation content includes the execution range of the scenario and the confirmation level of the scenario.

[0054] 8 is a schematic diagram showing an example of an operation screen 71 of the scenario operation device 70. The operation screen 71 has an execution range setting window 72 and a confirmation level setting window 76. The execution range setting window 72 has a plurality of slide windows 73 showing a plurality of slides that make up the scenario.

[0055] Each slide window 73 indicates a slide number and has a check box 74 for selecting that slide as the range of execution. By setting a check box 74 to on, it is possible to select the slide of that check box 74 as the range of execution.

[0056] Furthermore, each slide window 73 is configured to display details of the speech content and non-verbal actions of that slide when a check box 74 is turned on.

[0057] The confirmation level setting window 76 shows three options, namely, overview confirmation, simple confirmation, and emphasis confirmation, and allows the user to specify the confirmation level by selecting one of the radio buttons for these options.

[0058] The operation screen 71 also has an execute button 78 for instructing the start of scenario confirmation. By operating the execute button 78, it is possible to instruct the information presentation device 10 to start scenario confirmation. That is, when the scenario operation device 70 receives an operation of the execute button 78 by the user, it transmits information instructing the start of scenario confirmation to the operation content acquisition unit 22.

[0059] When the operation content acquisition unit 22 receives information instructing the start of scenario confirmation, it acquires information on the selection state and confirmation level of each slide set on the operation screen 71 from the scenario operation device 70. That is, the operation content acquisition unit 22 acquires information on the on / off state of the check boxes 74 of each slide and information on the on / off state of all radio buttons.

[0060] In step S104, the execution range setting unit 23 acquires information on the selection state of each slide from the operation content acquisition unit 22, and sets the execution range of the scenario based on the acquired information on the selection state of each slide. That is, the execution range setting unit 23 acquires information on the on / off state of the check box 74 of each slide from the operation content acquisition unit 22, and sets the slides with the check box 74 set to on as the execution range of the scenario.

[0061] In step S105, the execution level setting unit 24 acquires information on the confirmation level of the scenario from the operation content acquisition unit 22, and sets the execution level of the scenario based on the acquired confirmation level information. That is, the execution level setting unit 24 sets the execution level of the scenario to one of a simple reproduction level that reproduces non-verbal actions as they are, an outline reproduction level that reproduces only major non-verbal actions, and an emphasis reproduction level that reproduces characteristic non-verbal actions with emphasis, according to the confirmation level specified by the radio button.

[0062] In step S106, the execution scenario determination unit 25 acquires information on the execution range of the scenario from the execution range setting unit 23, and acquires information on the execution level of the scenario from the execution level setting unit 24. Furthermore, the execution scenario determination unit 25 determines the execution scenario according to the execution range information and the execution level information.

[0063] The operation of determining this execution scenario includes a first stage operation of selectively reading slides corresponding to the execution range from the scenario storage unit 41, and a second stage operation of converting the non-verbal actions in the read slides according to the execution level. The details of these operations will be described later.

[0064] In step S107, the execution scenario acquisition unit 31 acquires an execution scenario from the execution scenario determination unit 25. The execution scenario acquisition unit 31 also supplies the acquired execution scenario to the instruction output unit 32 and the execution position notification unit 33. The instruction output unit 32 and the execution position notification unit 33 operate in synchronization with each other.

[0065] In step S108, the instruction output unit 32 outputs to the proxy device 80 an operation instruction to be executed by the proxy device 80, based on the execution scenario supplied from the execution scenario acquisition unit 31. In response to this, the proxy device 80 executes the operation of the execution scenario according to the operation instruction from the instruction output unit 32.

[0066] In step S109, the execution position notifying unit 33 notifies the operation result output unit 26 of the current execution position of the execution scenario. The execution position notifying unit 33 operates in synchronization with the instruction output unit 32, and is therefore able to know the current execution position of the execution scenario. In addition to notifying the execution position, the execution position notifying unit 33 also supplies the contents of the execution scenario to the operation result output unit 26. The contents of the execution scenario are, for example, tabular data of the execution scenario shown in FIG. 10.

[0067] In step S110, the operation result output unit 26 outputs a display instruction to the scenario operating device 70 to cause the scenario operating device 70 to display the current execution content of the execution scenario determined in accordance with the operation content from the scenario operating device 70. In response to this, the scenario operating device 70 displays, as text information, the current execution content of the execution scenario input from the operation result output unit 26. For example, the scenario operating device 70 displays the tabular data of the execution scenario shown in Fig. 10 and highlights the data of the row that is being executed.

[0068] (2-2) First step: determining the execution scenario Here, the first stage of operation for determining an execution scenario will be described with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a flow chart showing the first stage of operation for determining an execution scenario, that is, the operation for selectively reading slides corresponding to the execution range.

[0069] In step S201, the execution scenario determining unit 25 acquires the execution range set by the execution range setting unit .

[0070] In step S 202 , the execution scenario determination unit 25 selectively reads a slide corresponding to the execution range setting from the scenarios stored in the scenario storage unit 41 .

[0071] In step S203, the execution scenario determining unit 25 determines the read slide as a slide of the execution scenario.

[0072] Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram showing in a table format slide data selectively loaded from the scenario storage unit 41. As shown in Fig. 10, the slide data loaded from the scenario storage unit 41 is composed of data on slides 1, 2, and 3 selected as the execution range on the operation screen 71 shown in Fig. 8.

[0073] (2-3) Second stage operation to determine execution scenario Next, the operation of the stage of determining an execution scenario will be described with reference to Fig. 11. Fig. 11 is a flow chart showing the second stage of operation of determining an execution scenario, that is, the operation of converting non-verbal actions in a slide according to the execution level.

[0074] In step S301, the execution scenario determining unit 25 acquires the execution level set by the execution level setting unit 24.

[0075] In step S302, the execution scenario determination unit 25 analyzes each slide of the execution scenario based on the execution level.

[0076] In step S303, the execution scenario determination unit 25 judges the execution level. If the execution level is the simple reproduction level, the process proceeds to step S306. If the execution level is the outline reproduction level, the process proceeds to step S304. If the execution level is the emphasis reproduction level, the process proceeds to step S305.

[0077] In step S304, the execution scenario determination unit 25 determines the longest speech action. The longest speech action is determined by comparing the durations of multiple speech actions in the slide. If there are multiple speech actions with the longest duration, all of those speech actions may be set as the longest speech action, or one of those multiple speech actions may be set as the longest speech action. In this case, the one speech action may be selected according to a predetermined rule or randomly. Note that if there is only one speech action in the slide, that speech action is set as the longest speech action.

[0078] Next, the execution scenario determination unit 25 sets the non-verbal action associated with the longest speech action as the main action. The setting condition for the main action is that it is associated with the longest speech action, and therefore there may be one main action or multiple main actions. The execution scenario determination unit 25 also deletes non-verbal actions other than the main action from the scenario. In other words, the execution scenario determination unit 25 determines the main action thus remaining as the non-verbal action of the execution scenario.

[0079] Fig. 12 is a schematic diagram showing the operation of converting a scenario, i.e., the operation of determining an execution scenario, when the execution level is the overview reproduction level. Fig. 12 shows the operation of the scenario before conversion on the upper side, and the operation of the scenario after conversion, i.e., the execution scenario, on the lower side.

[0080] In the speech actions shown in the upper part of Fig. 12, the speech action indicated by the thin solid arrow corresponds to the longest speech action. Therefore, the non-verbal action indicated by the thin solid arrow linked to the speech action indicated by the thin solid arrow is set as the main action. As a result, in the execution scenario shown in the lower part of Fig. 12, the non-verbal action indicated by the thin solid arrow linked to the speech action indicated by the thin solid arrow remains, but the non-verbal action indicated by the dashed line and dashed line linked to other speech actions indicated by the dashed line and dashed line is deleted.

[0081] In step S305, the execution scenario determination unit 25 first determines a characteristic non-verbal action among the non-verbal actions in the slide. For example, the execution scenario determination unit 25 determines the non-verbal action most frequently used in the slide as the characteristic non-verbal action. When there are multiple types of most frequently used non-verbal actions, for example, it is determined that there is no characteristic non-verbal action.

[0082] The execution scenario determination unit 25 then processes the characteristic non-verbal actions and sets the processed non-verbal actions as emphasis actions. For example, the execution scenario determination unit 25 divides the characteristic non-verbal actions into multiple parts and sets the divided non-verbal actions as emphasis actions. The execution scenario determination unit 25 does not process non-verbal actions other than the characteristic non-verbal actions, but leaves them as they are. In this way, the execution scenario determination unit 25 determines the non-verbal actions of the execution scenario.

[0083] When dividing a characteristic non-verbal behavior into multiple segments, the number of segments is determined so that the duration of each non-verbal behavior after division does not fall below the threshold value. For example, if the duration of a characteristic non-verbal behavior is 8000 ms and the threshold value is 1500 ms, then the number of segments is determined to be 5, since 8000 ms / 1500 ms ≒ 5.3.

[0084] Fig. 13 is a schematic diagram showing the operation of converting a scenario, i.e., the operation of determining an execution scenario, when the execution level is the emphasis reproduction level. Fig. 13 shows the operation of the scenario before conversion on the upper side, and the operation of the scenario after conversion, i.e., the execution scenario, on the lower side.

[0085] Among the non-verbal actions shown in the upper part of FIG. 13, the non-verbal actions indicated by the white arrows are the most frequently used and correspond to the characteristic actions. The characteristic actions are divided into multiple actions. In other words, the characteristic actions are shortened in duration and executed repeatedly. As a result, in the execution scenario shown in the lower part of FIG. 13, the non-verbal actions that do not correspond to the characteristic actions indicated by the dashed lines and dashed dotted lines are left as they are, but the characteristic actions indicated by the white arrows are divided into multiple actions.

[0086] In step S306, the execution scenario determination unit 25 analyzes all slides of the execution scenario. That is, until the analysis of all slides of the execution scenario is completed, the execution scenario determination unit 25 returns to step S302 and repeats the processes of steps S303, S304, and S305.

[0087] Fig. 14 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the display of the operation screen 71 of the scenario operation device 70 and the operation of the proxy device 80 in accordance with the operation of the information presentation device 10 described above. Fig. 14 shows a schematic diagram of the details of the speech content and non-verbal behavior of slides 1, 2, and 3 selected in the execution range of the scenario being displayed as text information on the operation screen 71, and also shows a schematic diagram of the execution of those slides 1, 2, and 3 by the proxy device 80. Furthermore, as shown diagrammatically by being enclosed in a square, the text information of the speech content and non-verbal behavior of the currently executed slide 2 is shown highlighted.

[0088] (3) Effects As described above, the information presentation device 10 according to the embodiment determines an execution scenario by converting a presentation scenario input from the input device 60 in accordance with the execution scope and confirmation level input from the scenario operation device 70. The information presentation device 10 causes the proxy device 80 to execute the execution scenario, and also causes the scenario operation device 70 to display the current execution content by the proxy device 80 as text information.
