[Diagram 5] FIG. 13 is a flow diagram showing a website update process for reading aloud. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0021] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. [Outline of the embodiment] A system for creating a website capable of text-to-speech (this system) according to an embodiment of the present invention creates a website capable of text-to-speech from an existing website, in which a website generation server manages the existing website as a text-to-speech project, and for content extracted from the existing website, a template is used to register a code number and title name as a code name, and also registers a code category, and the character string of the extracted content is arranged after setting the code name and code category, and text data of the audio content is stored in the order of code name, code category, and character string. When a user accesses a website capable of text-to-speech, a code name is displayed for each project, and when that code name is selected, the text data of the corresponding audio content is output aloud, and the website page is read aloud, allowing the listener to easily select the relevant existing website content, and further, since the selected content is output aloud in the order of code name, code category, and character string, the title and category are read aloud first, followed by the character string, and audio content that is easy for the listener to understand can be provided.

[0022] Furthermore, since this system displays a website that can read aloud on the user terminal and allows the user to select a code name, it is intended for visually impaired people with enough eyesight to be able to somewhat recognize the display screen. Even if a person is completely blind, a caregiver can operate the user terminal on their behalf to select the code name.

[0023] [This system: Figure 1] This system will be described with reference to Figure 1. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the system. As shown in Figure 1, this system comprises a website generation server (generation server) 1 that generates a website that can be read aloud, an existing site information processing device 2 that stores data of existing websites to be read aloud and extracts content from the target pages, a listener (user) terminal 3 that displays the readable website and performs the reading aloud, and a network 4.

[0024] Here, the generating server 1 , the existing site information processing device 2 , and the user terminal 3 are connected to a network 4 . In reality, there are a plurality of existing site information processing devices 2 and user terminals 3, which are connected to a network 4, but for ease of explanation, FIG. 1 shows only one of them.

[0025] [Parts of this system] Each part of this system will now be described. [Website generation server (generation server) 1] The generation server 1 acquires the contents of an existing Web site from an existing site information processing device 2, generates voice content data to be read aloud, and provides the voice content data to a user terminal 3.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 1, the generating server 1 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, and an interface unit 13. The storage unit 12 stores the processing program, and also stores voice content data for reading out the contents acquired from the existing site information processing device 2 by voice. The interface unit 13 is an interface for connecting the generating server 1 to the network 1 .

[0027] The control unit 11 executes a processing program stored in the memory unit 12, organizes the content of existing websites using templates described below, generates audio content data that can be read aloud, and generates a content list display screen that makes it easy for the user terminal 3 to make selections.

[0028] [Existing site information processing device 2] The existing site information processing device 2 is an information processing device that stores the contents of existing websites to be read aloud, and normally provides the website contents to users via the network 4. Note that the existing site information processing device 2 may be configured to operate on the contents of existing websites stored externally.

[0029] Furthermore, the existing site information processing device 2 specifies a target page of the existing Web site, analyzes the HTML sequence, obtains text data as extracted content, and transmits the text data as a character string to the generation server 1. Specifically, the existing site information processing device 2 corresponds to a Web server of a public institution, a Web server of a company, and the like.

[0030] [User terminal 3] The user terminal 3 accesses the generation server 1 to display a list screen of website contents that can be read aloud, selects a desired content from the list screen, and executes the reading aloud of that content. Furthermore, the user terminal 3 can access the existing site information processing device 2 and display the contents of the website using characters and images. The user terminal 3 is assumed to be a smartphone, a tablet, a personal computer, or the like.

[0031] [Network 4] Network 4 is assumed to be the Internet.

[0032] [Processing content] [New generation of audible websites and reading aloud process: Figures 2-4] Next, the processing in this system will be described with reference to Figures 2 to 4. Figure 2 is a flow diagram showing the process of creating and reading out a new website that can be read aloud, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing a registration template, and Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a list screen of website categories and code names that can be read aloud.

[0033] 2, in this system, the existing site information processing device 2 specifies a target page of an existing Web site, analyzes the HTML sequence, extracts the content, obtains text data of the extracted content, and transmits the text data to the creation server 1 (S1). A plurality of existing Web sites can also be processed in parallel by the existing site information processing device 2 and transmitted to the creation server 1.

[0034] Then, the generation server 1 treats the existing website as a project and assigns a project ID to it (S2), and using a prepared template, as shown in FIG. 3, registers a code name consisting of a code number and a title name in the template (S3), and further registers a code category in the template (S4).

[0035] Then, the generation server 1 places the text data (character string) of the extracted content in the content field of the template after setting the code name and code category (S5), and stores the audio content data in the order of code name, code category, and character string (S6).

[0036] As shown in FIG. 4(a), when the generation server 1 causes a website that can be read aloud to be displayed on the user terminal 3 by accessing the user terminal 3, a list of categories is displayed. When a desired category is selected from the category list and a desired project is then selected from the projects displayed, as shown in FIG. 4(b), the generation server 1 displays a list of chord names included in the selected project (S7). When the desired chord name is selected, the audio content data of the selected content is output aloud and read aloud (S8). In other words, you can easily select the content to be read aloud from a list of code names on a project-by-project basis.

[0037] Furthermore, the list screen of the content of a website that can be read aloud may be such that, for example, if the website in question belongs to a local government, the website that can be read aloud is linked to the local government's website, and the website that can be read aloud is displayed from the link.

[0038] [Read aloud website update process: Figure 5] Next, a process for updating data on an existing website will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a flow diagram showing a website update process for reading aloud. A synchronization tool (program) corresponding to the existing website is set in the existing site information processing device 2, and as shown in FIG. 5, the synchronization tool periodically detects updates to the existing site (S11), analyzes the detected update contents, and transmits the contents of the update contents (updated content) to the generation server 1 (S12).

[0039] The generation server 1 generates voice content data for a website that can be read aloud from the updated content in the same manner as the extracted content (S13), and updates the voice content data stored in the storage unit 12 (S14).

[0040] [Import existing printed materials / document files] The generation server 1 extracts text data from the data of existing printed matter or document files, and generates audio content for the website that can be read aloud as extracted content, in the same way as for pages of an existing website.

[0041] Read hyperlinks When a two-dimensional barcode is printed on an existing printed matter, the generation server 1 reads the printed two-dimensional barcode and generates voice content data for a website that can also read out the contents described on the website to which the two-dimensional barcode is hyperlinked. Here we have explained the case where a 2D barcode is printed on an existing printed material, but even if a 2D barcode is displayed on an existing website, audio content data for the website that can be read aloud can be generated.

[0042] Then, the generation server 1 associates audio content data for a website that can read out the existing printed material (audio content data of the existing printed material) with audio content data for a website that can read out the content at the hyperlink destination (audio content data of the link destination), and provides it to the user terminal 3. Incidentally, the generating server 1 may read out the voice content data of the linked destination following the reading out of the voice content data of the existing printed matter.

[0043] [Effects of the embodiment] According to this system, the generation server 1 manages existing websites as voice reading projects, and for extracted content extracted from existing websites, a template is used to register the code number and title name as code names, a code category is also registered, the text data of the extracted content is arranged after setting the code name and code category, and the text data of the audio content is stored in the order of code name, code category, and text data. When a website that can be read aloud is accessed by the user terminal 3, a code name is displayed for each project, and when that code name is selected, the text data of the corresponding audio content is output aloud and the website page is read aloud, so that the listener can easily select the relevant existing website content, and further, since the selected content is output aloud in the order of code name, code category, and text data, the title and category are read aloud first, and then the character string is read aloud, which has the effect of providing audio content that is easy for the listener to understand. [Industrial Applicability]

[0044] The present invention is suitable for a system and program for creating a website capable of reading out loud information on a website in a voice format so that the information on the website can be easily understood by a listener. [Explanation of symbols]
