Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a hypertext relay method and apparatus, and more particularly to a hypertext relay method and apparatus for automatically extracting a speech recognition target word in order to enhance the function of a hypertext display device with a voice control function.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, receiving and displaying hypertext such as HTML and SGML using a computer network such as the Internet has become an effective information collecting means.
[0003]
At that time, a hypertext display device generally called a browser is used. Among them, there are browsers that can be controlled by voice. One of the voice control functions realized by the browser is a function of executing a command associated with a word registered in advance when the word is registered in advance.
[0004]
As another voice control function, there is a function of taking out a set of words and commands entered in an HTML document, setting these words as speech recognition target words, and executing a command corresponding to the recognized words.
Furthermore, as a method for enhancing the browser function, there is a method using a relay device called a proxy. This relay device is usually used to bypass a firewall that restricts external access to a computer network. A new service can be provided by adding a function to the relay apparatus. For example, a service that translates and provides hypertext content by automatic translation.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-described conventional technology, there is a problem that a browser with a voice control function cannot provide a flexible voice control function for any hypertext. This is due to the following reasons.
[0006]
As described above, the browser with a voice control function has a function of executing some command using a word registered in advance. Therefore, the voice control function can be provided when any hypertext is displayed. However, in this case, the target word for speech recognition is fixed.
[0007]
A conventional browser with a voice control function has a function of setting a speech recognition target word and a command to be executed by a word and a command specified in an HTML document. Therefore, it is possible to provide a flexible voice control function corresponding to each hypertext. However, in this case, information for voice control needs to be described in the hypertext in advance.
[0008]
Therefore, at present, voice control corresponding to individual hypertexts cannot be performed for all hypertexts. More specifically, for example, when a user utters text linked to a link in hypertext, the function of switching the display to the hypertext indicated by the link is realized for any hypertext. Impossible.
[0009]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a hypertext relay method and apparatus capable of providing a flexible voice control function for any hypertext.
A further object of the present invention is that a user utters text linked to a link in the hypertext to the hypertext display device, and the hypertext display device displays the uttered content in the hypertext. A hypertext relay method and apparatus capable of switching between the two are provided.
[0010]

[0014]
In general, a hypertext display device has a function of specifying a relay device. In the present invention, by designating the relay device using this function, the hypertext requested by the display device is first read into the relay device. In the relay device, recognition target words and corresponding commands corresponding to individual hypertexts are calculated by pattern matching and morphological analysis. Next, the recognition target word and the command are added to the hypertext and edited in a form suitable for the voice control function of the hypertext display device. Finally, the edited hypertext is transferred from the relay device to the hypertext display device, and the display device proceeds with processing according to the content of the hypertext.
[0015]
In this way, it is a device that has hypertext analysis and editing functions and relays hypertext via a route in the network, and converts the speech recognition target and command corresponding to each hypertext to the hypertext. By adding, it is possible to perform voice control on an arbitrary hypertext on the hypertext display device. In particular, by using this hypertext relay device, the intended function can be realized without any modification to the hypertext display device with voice control.

【Example】
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a specific example of an embodiment of the present invention.
The following specific example will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
[0026]
The display device 50 selects the relay device 30 using a function for designating the relay device, and designates hypertext for the relay device 30 (step 101).
As a result, the hypertext reading unit 31 of the relay device 30 reads the hypertext content designated from the computer network 10 via the communication line 20 and stores it in the buffer 36 (step 102).
[0027]
Next, the link extraction unit 32 of the hypertext relay device 30 performs pattern matching on the hypertext stored in the buffer 36, and extracts the link page shown in FIG. In the description of this link, a link destination indicated by <A HREF=...> Is specified (step 103).
[0028]
Further, the morphological analysis unit 33 performs morphological analysis on the link description extracted by the link extraction unit 32 and extracts nouns, such as “fruits”, “animals”, “shokubutsu”, and “things”. The speech recognition target word is read and stored in the buffer 36 (step 104).
[0029]
Next, the hypertext editing unit 34 corresponds to the speech recognition target words (“fruit”, “animal”, “shokubu”, “tamemono”) and the speech recognition target words stored in the buffer 36. A command such as a link destination is added / edited to the hypertext stored in the buffer 36, and the contents shown in FIG. 5B are generated and stored in the buffer 36 (step 105).
[0030]
The hypertext sending unit 35 transfers the contents shown in FIG. 5B stored in the buffer 36 to the display device 50 via the communication line 40 (step 106).
Thereby, the display apparatus 50 displays the hypertext acquired from the hypertext relay apparatus 30, and performs voice control based on the speech recognition target word and the command added to the hypertext.
[0031]
Thus, in the hypertext relay device 30, by adding the speech recognition target word corresponding to each hypertext and the command corresponding to the target word to the acquired hypertext in a form suitable for the display device 50, The display device 50 displays and displays the hypertext, and performs voice control according to the speech recognition target word and the command, so that when the user utters the text corresponding to the link, the link destination It is possible to switch the screen to hypertext.
[0032]
In the above embodiment, HTML is described as the hypertext, but the present invention is not limited to this example, and the same processing can be performed in SGML.
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and applications can be made within the scope of the claims.
