Abstract

PURPOSE:To clarify a sounding window with its display state by having the constitution of a voice detecting part and a window display control part, and executing display control of the window corresponding to a voice by a result of detection of the voice. CONSTITUTION:The controller is provided with a voice detecting part 102 and a window display control part 104, and also, provided with a display 105 using a multi-window system as a display system, and window display control of an inter-multipoint communication application using a voice for displaying a window only corresponding to a transmitting side on the display 105 and displaying data of the transmitting side on the window concerned is executed by the display control part 104, based on a result of detection of the voice detecting part 102. Therefore, for instance, on the windows for displaying transmitting data, respectively, an image of the transmitting side can be displayed. In this case, a frame of the window corresponding to a generated talker becomes thick, and correspondence to the window for displaying utterance and the talker' s image becomes clear.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a multipoint communication application display control device for performing window display control when operating an application for performing multipoint communication using sound information on a multiwindow system. Is.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a multi-window system has been often used as a computer display system. On the other hand, the introduction of audio and video to computers has become popular as multimedia.

[0003]

However, when operating an application that handles sound in the above-mentioned conventional multi-window system, since the sound and the window related thereto are not associated with each other, the sound is associated with which window. The problem was that it was difficult to understand what was going on.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to associate the sound with the window by controlling the display of the window.

[0005]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention comprises a voice detection unit and a window display control unit, and performs display control of a window corresponding to the voice according to the voice detection result. ..

[0006]

According to the present invention, with the above configuration, the sounding window can be known from the display state of the window.

【Example】

(Embodiment 1) Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration of a multipoint communication application display control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2A is a diagram showing a process in the first embodiment, and FIG. 2B is a diagram showing a display result in the first embodiment.

In FIGS. 2A and 2B, 201 is a voice detection process, 202 is a display process when utterance start data is input to the window display control unit, and 203 is utterance end data in the window display control unit. A display process when input is performed, and 210 is a diagram of a screen which is a display result when the process of FIG. Where window 21
Each of 1, 212, 213, and 214 is a window for displaying transmission data in multipoint communication.

The operation of the multipoint communication application display control device configured as described above will be described below. As the voice detection processing 201, the start and end of utterance are detected, and when utterance start data is input to the window display control unit 202, the frame of the window of the speaker who speaks is changed to a thick frame indicating that the speaker is uttering. In addition, when utterance end data is input to the window display control unit 203,
Change the frame of the speaker's window to a thin frame indicating that the speaker is not speaking. As a result, when a multipoint communication application is operated using this device, the window frame corresponding to the speaker who is speaking becomes thick.

In this embodiment, for example, windows 211, 212, 213 for displaying transmission data, respectively.
The image of the transmitting side can be displayed on 214. In this case, an excellent effect is obtained in that the frame of the window corresponding to the uttered speaker becomes thick and the correspondence between the utterance and the window displaying the image of the speaker becomes clear.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the start of utterance and the end of utterance are detected, and the display of the window is changed to correlate the sound with the window, and which window the sound relates to. Can be clarified.

(Second Embodiment) A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The basic configuration is the same as in FIG. FIG. 3A is a diagram showing a process in the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3B is a diagram showing a display result in the second embodiment.

In FIGS. 3A and 3B, 301 is a voice detection unit, 302 is a display process when utterance start data is input to the window display control unit, and 310 is FIG. 3A.
It is a figure of a screen used as a display result when processing of is performed. Here, the windows 311, 312, 313, 31
Each of 4 is a window for displaying data of transmission in multipoint communication.

The operation of the multipoint communication application display control device configured as described above will be described below. The voice detection processing 301 detects the start of utterance, and when utterance start data is input to the window display control unit 302, the window of the uttered speaker is brought to the foreground. Here, an overlapping window is used as the window system, and bringing the window to the front means that the window is displayed entirely without being hidden by other windows. As a result,
When a multipoint communication application is operated using this device, a window corresponding to the speaker who started speaking appears on the foreground. The difference from the configuration of FIG. 2 is that the voice detection unit 301 does not detect the end of utterance, and the window corresponding to the speakers who uttered one after another at the time of starting utterance is the foreground.

In this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, windows 311 and 31 for displaying transmission data respectively.
2, 313, and 314, when the image of the transmitting side is displayed, or when one of the communication members starts speaking, a window displaying the image of the member is displayed in the foreground, and the face of the speaker is automatically displayed. It has an excellent effect in that you can see.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the start of utterance is detected and the window is brought to the foreground, whereby the contents of the window related to the speaker who has started uttering can be automatically displayed. ..

In the first embodiment, when the window frame is thickened as the display during utterance, the window is brought to the front at the same time, so that the first and second embodiments can be combined. it can. Further, in the first embodiment, the frame is thickened as a display indicating that the voice is being spoken. However, a part of the window is changed in color, or the inside of the window is displayed in reverse. Such as displaying the window only in the middle,
Other methods of indicating a window display mode that can be set simultaneously for a plurality of windows may be used. Also, 20
It goes without saying that the sound signal detected by the sound detection processing of Nos. 1 and 301 is not limited to voice and may be music, for example.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, by providing the voice detection unit and the window display control unit, the display control of the window is performed according to the voice detection result, and the sounding window is known from the display state of the window. Is possible.
