Sound Processing System Pronunciation Style Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current sound synthesizing techniques require high user workload as users need to repeatedly instruct changes to sound characteristics when switching between pronunciation styles, leading to inefficiencies in editing and processing.
Innovation Solution
A computer-readable recording medium and sound processing system that alter specific portions of time-series data corresponding to a first pronunciation style, allowing for the generation of new time-series data reflecting user instructions when switching to a second pronunciation style, thereby maintaining edited sound characteristics without requiring users to re-instruct changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the system requires users to instruct changes to sound characteristics every time pronunciation style is changed, then the pronunciation style can be switched, but the user workload becomes high
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically applying previously instructed sound characteristic changes when the pronunciation style is switched. The sound characteristic change instruction history is stored and reused, so users don't need to re-instruct the same changes for each pronunciation style switch, thereby reducing user workload while maintaining adaptability
2Manufacturing precision
If the system requires users to repeatedly instruct changes to sound characteristics, then the sound characteristics can be adjusted, but the editing efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system stores sound characteristic change instructions in a history record during preliminary action. When pronunciation style is switched, the system automatically retrieves and applies the stored instructions, maintaining precise sound characteristic adjustment while significantly improving editing efficiency by eliminating repetitive user input
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a copy of the sound characteristic change instructions from the instruction history and applies it to the new pronunciation style. This copying mechanism preserves the precise adjustments made previously while enabling rapid application across different pronunciation styles, thereby improving editing efficiency

AI summary
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that, when executed by a computer system, causes the computer system to perform a method including altering a first portion of first time-series data in accordance with an instruction from a user. The first time-series data indicates a time series of a sound characteristic corresponding to a first pronunciation style of a target sound to be synthesized. The method also includes generating second time-series data when a second pronunciation style different from the first pronunciation style is specified for the target sound. The second time-series data indicates a sound characteristic with the alteration made to the first portion in accordance with the instruction from the user, and indicating a sound characteristic with a second portion other than the first portion corresponding to the second pronunciation style.
