Abstract:
A method which is capable of performing an operation of creating a sentence and an operation of adjusting a voice attribute at the same time. If a key for embedding an embedding command into an unsettled character string is pushed with the state where the unsettled character string has been displayed after kana-kanji conversion, the voice attribute information held by a voice attribute information input section 115 is embedded in the form of an embedded command into the unsettled character string. Also, if a key for instructing voice synthesis is pushed with this state, voice synthesis is performed according to the embedded voice attribute information.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To output a text to each of users whom an electronic mail is transmitted by voice with a peculiar tone. SOLUTION: A receiving section 30 outputs a text and a header of a received electronic mail to a voice synthesizing section 32. A voice font switching section 326 outputs a transmitter side ID included in the header to a voice font retrieving section 328. The voice font retrieving section 328 retrieves tone data in a voice font data base section 303, and supplies tone data in which user ID included in the header of tone data matched with the transmitter side ID to a rhythm control section 322 and a voice generating section 324 in accordance with the retrieved result. The rhythm control section 322, the voice generating section 324, and a voice output section 38 read contents of a text with tone indicated by voice pieces included in supplied tone data, generate a voice signal characterized by rhythm data included in the header of tone data, and output it.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a GUI capable of selective an object without using a click button and with low mis-operation rate. SOLUTION: When a user selects a upper scroll button 20, an operation to press a pointer 21 on the button 20 is performed. When the pointer 32 is moved and comes in contact with the button 20, the button 20 is crushed to a dot outer frame side by four dots, and the movable range of the pointer 32 is increased by four dots. After that, when the pointer 32 is further moved to a button 20 side by the user and comes in contact with the button 20, the button 20 is crushed by four dots, and an operation to increase the movable range by four dots is repeated. Finally, when the count value of such operation exceeds a regulated value 3, an event representing the depression of the button 20 is delivered to an application side, and an application performs the scroll processing of a display area.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To obtain a sufficient conversion function and speed even if the size of a KANA/KANJI conversion dictionary is small by integrally generating the KANA/KANJI dictionary as a program. CONSTITUTION: A CPU 102, a RAM 104, a keyboard 106, a display device 108, a hard disk 110, a floppy disk driver 112 or the like are connected to a bus 101. Alphanumerics keys, mark input keys, KANJI keys for inputting a KANA/ KANJI conversion mode, conversion keys for indicating a KANA/KANJI conversion processing after 'reading' is inputted are provided on the keyboard 106. The KANA/KANJI conversion dictionary is integrally generated as the program containing a retrieval function with such constitution. The KANA/KANJI conversion dictionary program is compiled as a dynamic link library routine(DLL) especially under an operating system for supporting the DLL, and the dictionary retrieval function is usably exported by the other program.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for protecting the supplier of an original content while not preventing the generation of the copy of a digital content but recognizing the free generation of the copy. SOLUTION: A content supplier terminal 12, an advertisement providing terminal 13 and a B to B server 11 and a B to C server 21, which receive a digital content from the content supplier terminal 12 through a communication network, collect an advertisement content added to the received digital content from the advertisement supplier terminal 13, support the realization the contract of the addition of an advertisement including a condition on pay to the supplier of the digital content between the supplier of the digital content and the supplier of the advertisement content and open the digital content with advertisement, which is generated by connecting the digital content whose contract is realized with the advertisement content on an Internet, are installed.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method by which work for making a sentence and work for adjusting attribute of a voice can be performed simultaneously. SOLUTION: When a key for embedding an embedding command in an undecided character train is pressed in a state in which an undecided character train after KANA/KANJI conversion is displayed, voice attribute information held in a voice attribute information input section 115 is embedded in an undecided character train with a form of an embedding command. Also, in this state, when a key for indicating voice synthesizing is pressed, a voice is synthesized conforming to embedded voice attribute information.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a scheduler by which the schedule corresponding to two weeks extending to the last month or the next month can be simultaneously watched, securing a front size which is easy to be seen. SOLUTION: When the key input for a zooming is performed, the calendar that a week is added to the calendar 28 corresponding to one month is displayed. When a specified day 22 exists in the first half of the month, the last week of the last month which does not include the current mouth is added. When the specified day 22 exists in the second half of the month, the first week of the next month which does not include the current month is added. By a zoom release key 26, the display is returned to an original display. In other enforcing modes, the calendar shifted with the week including the specified data 22 as a center is displayed when the key input for a centering is performed.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To improve a user interface by providing a step for coloring a pointer in a first color, a step for moving the pointer, and a step for changing the color in a prescribed area to a color affected by the first color. CONSTITUTION: In the data processor provided with a screen 1 and an input means including at least a pointer control means which controls the movement of a pointer 3, a step 72 for coloring the pointer 3 in a first color in response to the input means is provided. The processor is also provided with a step for moving the pointer 3 to a desired position on the screen 1 in response to the pointer control means and a step 78 for changing the color of a prescribed area including the position of the pointer 3 to a color affected by the first color. Therefore, a color image which is improved in user interface can be generated easily.
Abstract:
A system includes a content provider terminal, an advertisement provider terminal, a BtoB server, and a BtoC server, wherein the BtoB server and the BtoC server recei ve digital content from the content provider terminal over a communication network, collect advertising content to be attached to the received digital content from the advertisement provider terminal, assist the provider of the digital content and the provider of the advertising content in concluding a contract between them for attaching an advertisement which contract contains a condition concerning payment to the provider of the digital content, combine the digital content with the advertising content to produce digital content with advertisement, and publish it on the Internet.
