This web browser has a bookmark registration function for registering the address of a home page as a bookmark function in order to easily open a home page that has been read once. This bookmark registration function allows the user to select a desired item from the registered list and open the home page associated with that item.

Further, various computers having a voice recognition function of previously registering readings of characters, symbols, words, etc., recognizing an inputted voice, and converting the voice and the reading into a character string in association with each other are available. It's being used. By combining the "bookmark registration function" and the "voice recognition function" as described above, it is possible to recognize the voice uttered by the user, convert it into a character string, and correspond to the converted character string. A web browser having a voice recognition function of searching a homepage address and opening the homepage has also been realized.

[0004]

However, in the conventional web browser, attention is paid only to the "character string" as a result of recognizing the input voice, and the home page associated with this "character string" is predetermined. It only opens in the specified display format, and does not have the function of changing the display format in consideration of the nature of the input voice.

For example, when a plurality of users use a web browser at home, conventionally, it is not necessary to distinguish between the male and female users who have uttered, and to distinguish between the elderly and the young. Without any notice, I was just displaying the home page that corresponds to the reading of the uttered voice. That is, even if the nature of the input voice is different, the display on the screen is performed based on only one preset display format.

[0006] Here, a man who is familiar with the home page wants to display as much information as possible on the screen even if the characters are small, but a woman who is not familiar with it can visually In some cases, you may want an easy-to-understand display. Also, if the elderly are users, they may not want to display so much information and may want to display as large characters as possible on the screen, and the results of voice recognition may not be displayed on the screen. In some cases, it may be desirable to confirm by voice rather than confirming by displaying characters.

Further, for each user, sex, age, time,
Depending on your physical condition, you may want to change the display format or contents on the screen. For each user such as men and women, children,
Sometimes you want to limit the types of homepages you can open.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and the display format is changed by judging the nature of the uttered voice or the like to make the display easy to understand for each user. It is an object of the present invention to provide easily without any special operation.

Shows the states of the display unit 12 and the operation unit as in the case of FIG. It is assumed that voice input is performed in a state where the home page is not displayed on the display unit 12, or that the home page is displayed but the voice input is not related to the home page. For example, it is assumed that the user utters "My cho" into the microphone 19. When the uttered voice is recorded, the voice recognition unit 20 recognizes the voice and analyzes the nature of the voice.

In the voice recognition, the voice "My cho" is converted into the character string "My cho". In the analysis of voice characteristics, frequency measurement, vocalization speed measurement, and sound volume measurement are performed as described above, and by comparing the respective measurement results with predetermined judgment criteria, judgment of male / female, young / aged Is judged, and whether the person is healthy or tired is judged. That is, the type of voice is determined by analyzing the characteristics of the voice.

Further, the present time when the voice is input from the time generation unit 14 is obtained, and it is judged whether the present time zone is morning, noon or night. Then, using the “time zone” and the “voice type” obtained by the above judgment, A
The display format is determined by referring to the action Table 28.

For example, in the analysis of the characteristics of voice, "female",
If it is determined that “elderly” and “tired” and the time zone is “night”, the action table 28 displays “Font = circle character, Size =” as the display format.
Large, Color = light green ”is determined.

After the display format is determined in this way, a display as shown in FIG. 3A is displayed in order to confirm the contents of the display format. FIG. 3A shows a state in which the display 29 “Enlarge font”, which is one of the determined display formats, is displayed. Further, when the display 29 is performed, the contents of the determined display format may be simultaneously output from the speaker 18 using synthetic voice. By outputting such a synthesized voice, the user can easily check the display format without checking the screen.

After confirming the display format, Tab
le24 is referred to, the homepage address corresponding to the phrase "My Cho" is read out, the connection operation is performed, and the homepage 210 of the newspaper is displayed on the display unit 12 every morning as shown in FIG. 3 (b). .

Then, after an address is input by pressing a keyboard (not shown) or a specific button, an operation of connecting to a home page having the address is performed to switch the display page (step S16).

When it is confirmed in step S3 that the voice is input from the microphone 19, the input voice is registered in the memory 10 as the data 102, and the voice recognition unit 20 performs the voice recognition (step S9). ). here,
Confirm that the voice is input from the microphone 19 by checking the CPU
It can be performed by using an interrupt process or the like. The character string corresponding to the recorded voice is generated by the voice recognition, and the result is stored in the variable Result.

Next, using this Result, as shown in FIG.
The matching process with the Table 24 shown in (c) is performed (step S10). The matching process is Tabl if it can match the character string generated as a result of the voice recognition.
It is to confirm whether or not it exists in the "reading 243" registered in e24. As will be described later, in this matching process, the variable “status” = OK if there is a matchable read, and the variable “status” = NG if there is no matchable read.

Next, as a result of the matching processing, "stat
"us" = OK is determined (step S11), and OK
If so, a process of analyzing the property of the input voice data is performed (step S12). Here, the analysis processing means the frequency measurement, the generation speed measurement, and the sound volume measurement as described above. By comparing these measurement results with a predetermined judgment reference value, it is possible to determine the sex, age, and physical condition. Make a decision. The determined gender, age, physical condition and current time,
Determine the display format from the contents of Action Table. In step S2, display is performed in that display format.

When the display format is changed as a result of this determination, the display section 12 displays a message indicating that the display format of the screen is to be changed (step S13). Here, at the same time, the result of voice recognition may be displayed. Further, the same content as this display is output from the speaker using the synthetic voice (step S14).

The above is the overall flow chart of the web browser of the present invention. It is mainly equipped with a home page registration function, an action registration function for registering the display format, a voice recognition and voice property analysis function, and a home page switching function. And

In particular, by analyzing the nature of the input voice,
Since the display is made in the display format corresponding to the analyzed property, it is possible to make the display easy to understand for each user. Further, since the display format is changed based on the analysis result of the input voice, the user does not perform a special operation and the burden on the user for changing the display format is small. Further, since the display format is changed, the result of the voice recognition is confirmed, and the notification is made by the synthetic voice, the malfunction can be prevented, and the function which is easier for the user to use can be provided.

FIG. 10 shows a detailed flowchart of registration of the home page shown in step S4. First, the title described in the currently displayed home page is stored in the variable Title (step S21). The address of the home page currently displayed is the variable UR
It is stored in L (step S22). The registration screen as shown in FIG. 2B is displayed on the display unit 12 (step S23).

The user confirms the title and URL,
If you want to change it, edit it (step S2).
4). Furthermore, if the user inputs a reading for voice recognition,
The reading is stored in the variable Yomi (step S2).
5). After that, it is confirmed whether or not the registration button 23 is pushed down (step S26). When the registration button 23 is pressed, the variables Title and UR that have been temporarily stored are stored.
The L and Yomi data are stored in the N-th area Table [N] in the Table 24 (step S2).

8), the process ends.

FIG. 11 shows the Tab shown in step S10.
The detailed flowchart of the matching with le is shown. First, the variable i indicating the number for checking the matching is initialized to zero (step S31). Variable Res in which the i-th reading of Table 24 and the result of voice recognition are stored
It is checked whether or not they match with ult (step S3).
2). If they match, the variable status is set to "OK" and the process ends (step S36). If they do not match, 1 is added to the variable i (step S33), and the variable i is Tabl.
It is confirmed whether the number N is smaller than the number N registered in e24 (step S34), and if smaller, the process returns to step S32. If i ≧ N, there is no match in the registered readings, so “NG” is set in the variable status.
Is set and the process ends (step S35).

As described above, registration of the homepage and Table
Although the detailed flowchart for matching with 24 is shown, the flow of this processing is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, whether the readings in step S32 match or not does not determine whether all the character strings completely match, but determines whether there is a partial match such as a forward match or a backward match. You may.

When there are a plurality of matching items in the Table 24, the plurality of candidates may be displayed and the user may be selected, but the one registered later has priority. The processing may be performed to narrow down the selection candidates to one.

Even if the readings match, the home page may not be called if the input voice has a different property from the set one. For example, memorize the reading "aiueo" and the character of the voice "female" as a pair, and open the home page only when it is determined that the voice "aiueo" is input by a female voice. When it is determined that the voice "aiueo" is input by a male voice, it is possible to provide a more convenient function for the user by not opening the home page.
