Description

  The present invention relates to a recording method of visual information such as a self-introduction video, a recording apparatus, a computer program for executing the recording method, and a recording medium on which the computer program is recorded.

  In recent years, temporary staffing companies, marriage counseling offices, etc. have introduced human resources through video letters to enable communication between parties in remote locations. In addition, as a communication tool that appeals to sight and hearing in self-introduction and the like, a message card in which a photograph taken with an instant camera and sound are recorded is also provided (see Patent Document 1). Patent Documents 2 and 3 also disclose techniques for recording visual information such as self-introduction.

  When job placement is performed for a job seeker at a remote location, the temporary staffing company first creates a self-introduction video of the job seeker and mails the self-introduction video to a person in charge at the recruiting company. The person in charge at the recruiting company looks at the self-introduction video and decides whether or not to employ the job applicant who is the presenter.

On the other hand, with the development of electronic communication technology such as the Internet, a video conference system has been built that realizes remote conversations that transmit and receive text data and video data between remote locations, regardless of whether they are wired or wireless. In addition, real-time remote ground contact using such a bidirectional interactive system has also been attempted (see Patent Documents 4 and 5).
Summary of Japanese Utility Model 2001-63 Summary of JP-A-11-217576 JP 2003-44400 A US Pat. No. 6,137,526 US Pat. No. 6,005,604

  As a result of examining the communication tools used for conventional self-introduction and the like, the inventors have found the following problems.

  In other words, when a temporary staffing company creates a self-introduction video of a job seeker, the job seeker who is a presenter must go to a designated location such as a photography studio, and the job seeker is required to shoot it. In addition, a plurality of persons such as a photographer are restrained for a certain period of time. On the other hand, even when interviewing a job in real time via a video conference system, the person in charge at the recruiting company often has to meet with multiple job applicants. The burden is not small.

  Furthermore, when creating a self-introduction video as described above, even if a job seeker speaks to the camera, it is difficult to construct a dialogue as to what should be spoken in what order. When a job applicant reads a manuscript, the job applicant's face is faced downward with respect to the camera, making it difficult to achieve a sensitive presentation. In addition, considerable practice is required to fully express the predetermined items within a limited time of 3 to 5 minutes. As described above, it was extremely difficult to create a self-introduction video or the like for presenting predetermined contents in a timely manner while watching the camera.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and efficiently and sensitively creates visual information such as self-introduction videos used in temporary staffing companies and marriage consulting offices. It is an object of the present invention to provide a visual information recording method, a recording apparatus, a computer program for executing the recording method, and a recording medium in which the computer program is stored.

  The visual information recording method according to the present invention is arranged in front of a presenter such as a job applicant and is capable of displaying predetermined information on a monitor screen, and between the presenter and the display unit, the presenter And a terminal device including at least an imaging unit arranged so as to overlap a part of the monitor screen of the display unit or embedded in the monitor screen.

  In the visual information recording method according to the present invention, for each presentation item to be performed by a presenter, editing of a scenario including a time table in which presentation contents displayed on a monitor screen and their display times are sequentially recorded in association with each other Is performed in advance. According to this scenario, the display process of presenting the presentation contents to the presenter and the recording process of recording the actual presentation of the presenter are performed in parallel. In the display step, presentation contents to be presented to the presenter are displayed on the monitor screen of the display unit so as to partially overlap the imaging unit as viewed from the presenter or sequentially around the imaging unit. To go. In the recording step, visual information including a video of a presenter who presents in accordance with the content of the presentation presented on a specific part on the monitor screen and audio generated by the presenter, which is captured via the imaging unit, is stored in a predetermined recording medium. To record. Recording media on which visual information is recorded include a hard disk (H / D), a video CD, a DVD, a video tape, and the like.

  As described above, in the visual information recording method according to the present invention, a manuscript and an auxiliary text card are arranged around the camera in order to efficiently construct a state in which the presenter speaks vividly toward the imaging unit. In general, it is preferable that the text card displayed on the monitor has a parallax angle of 3 ° or less in which the line-of-sight coincides. However, when strictness is not required, the imaging unit is arranged so as to overlap the monitor screen. This also significantly improves the presenter's facial expression transmission as compared with the case where the imaging unit is arranged outside the monitor screen.

  Furthermore, the visual information recording method according to the present invention, in the recording step, the video and audio of the presenter captured through the imaging unit in a state associated with the presentation item to be performed by the presenter, It is preferable to sequentially store the data in a predetermined recording medium. In this case, since the visual information stored in the recording medium is managed in a state organized for each item of the presentation, when the visual information is reproduced, the item that the observer wants to know or is interested in is displayed. It is possible to selectively reproduce and enable efficient observation.

  Further, in the display step, at least the presentation content presented next to the presenter together with the presentation content presented to the presenter may be simultaneously displayed on the monitor screen while referring to the scenario. In this case, the presenter inevitably takes into account the contents of the presentation to be performed next, so that the presenter can easily grasp the pace of the presentation as a whole.

  Furthermore, in the above display step, it is preferable that the elapsed time information after the presentation content to be performed by the presenter is displayed on the monitor screen. It is fundamental and important for communication to convey the presenter's vivid expression and gaze, but it is also important to end the presentation in time. Therefore, the presenter can grasp the pace of the presentation by providing a display function for notifying the time information together with the text card indicating the presentation contents on the monitor screen.

  Specifically, the presenter can have a sense of time by displaying the time axis bar below the text card displayed on the monitor screen. The displayed text card may be switched automatically according to the time schedule (scenario) or manually.

  A recording apparatus (a visual information recording apparatus according to the present invention) for specifically implementing the above-described visual information recording method includes a display unit arranged in front of the presenter, and a CCD camera that images the presenter. And the like, a scenario D / B, and a control unit that records the presentation performed by the presenter on a predetermined recording medium as visual information.

  The imaging unit is arranged between the presenter and the display unit so as to overlap a part of the monitor screen of the display unit as viewed from the presenter or embedded in the monitor screen. The scenario D / B stores a scenario indicating the presentation contents presented to the presenter and the display order thereof. This scenario is pre-edited before the presenter actually starts the presentation. Further, the control unit parallels a display process of presenting the presentation contents to the presenter and a recording process of recording the presenter's actual presentation according to the scenario stored in the scenario D / B. Do.

  In the display step, the control unit displays the presentation content to be presented to the presenter in an area on the monitor screen of the display unit so as to overlap with the imaging unit as viewed from the presenter or around the imaging unit. Display sequentially. Further, the control unit captures visual information including a video of a presenter who presents in accordance with a presentation content displayed on a specific part on a monitor screen and audio generated by the presenter, which are captured via the imaging unit in the recording process. It records on a predetermined recording medium.

  The scenario includes a time table in which each presentation item to be presented by the presenter is sequentially recorded in association with the presentation content displayed on the monitor screen and its display time.

  The recording unit may store the presenter's video and audio captured through the imaging unit in a recording medium in a recording process in a state associated with a presentation item to be performed by the presenter. . In the display step, the control unit may simultaneously display on the monitor screen the presentation content presented to the presenter and at least the presentation content presented next by the presenter while referring to the scenario. Further, in the display step, the control unit may display elapsed time information after the presentation content to be performed by the presenter is displayed on the monitor screen.

  The visual information recording method as described above may be a program executed by a computer or the like. In this case, the program may be distributed via a network regardless of wired or wireless, and It may be stored in a recording medium such as a CD, DVD, flash memory, or video tape managed by a server or terminal device.

  As described above, according to the present invention, according to a scenario that has been edited in advance, the display contents that are to be presented to the presenter are sequentially displayed on the monitor screen of the display unit so as to overlap the imaging unit as viewed from the presenter. Recording visual information including a process and a video of a presenter who presents in accordance with a presentation content presented on a specific part on a monitor screen and audio generated by the presenter, captured via an imaging unit, on a predetermined recording medium Each recording process is performed in parallel. As a result, the presenter can create visual information such as a self-introduction video efficiently and with a high sensitivity.

  Embodiments of the visual information recording method and the like according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to FIGS. In the description of the drawings, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals and redundant description is omitted.

  First, a terminal device for realizing the visual information recording method according to the present invention will be described here. Note that this terminal device is a terminal device that can also be applied to the interactive interactive systems described in Patent Documents 2 and 3 that realize a remote conversation with a line-of-sight match. The present invention can also be applied to a bidirectional interactive system capable of transmitting and receiving.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a terminal device for realizing an embodiment of the visual information recording method according to the present invention.

  The terminal device shown in FIG. 1 includes (a) a chair 4 (having a height adjustment mechanism 40) on which a presenter 3 (the person who creates a self-introduction video) sits, and (b) a table 2 to which the presenter 3 faces. (C) A partition 22 is provided for isolating the presenter 3 from the surrounding environment.

  The chair 4 functions to define the position of the presenter 3. The chair 4 is preferably fixed in order to keep the distance from the display unit (display device) 21 of the terminal device constant. However, even if the chair 4 is not fixed, the distance between the chair 4 and the display unit 21 can be kept constant by installing the table 2 on the presenter 3 and the display unit 21 ( The fact that the presence of Table 2 is the basis for the psychological distance of Presenter 3 has been confirmed).

  Further, the terminal device 20 shown in FIG. 1 includes a display unit 21 having a monitor TV 1 arranged on the table 2 for displaying a text card or the like that is presented by the presenter and showing the contents of the presentation, and (2) a CCD camera. (Imaging unit) An imaging device main body 6 for holding 5 at a predetermined position, an audio output unit 23 (speaker) for outputting audio and the like, and (4) collecting sound of the presenter 3 as audio information Audio input unit 24 (microphone). In addition, this terminal device has (5) a character / graphic input unit 25 (interface such as a keyboard, a pointing device, a touch panel) and (6) signal processing, transmission control and video to facilitate editing of scenarios and the like. And a video processing device 26 (including a control unit) that performs data editing operations and the like.

  In the terminal device shown in FIG. 1, an imaging device 600 includes an ultra-small CCD camera 5 that is an imaging unit, and an imaging device body 6 that is installed at a predetermined position in a state where the CCD camera 5 is supported. The monitor TV 1 is placed on the table 2, and the presenter 3 sits on a chair 4 equipped with a height adjustment mechanism 40 placed at a distance L (m) from the monitor TV 1. This distance L is set to 0.5 m or more and 5 m or less. Between the presenter 3 and the monitor TV 1 to be photographed, a cylindrical micro CCD camera 5 having an outer diameter of 20 mm or less and a length of 100 mm or less is provided. The CCD camera 5 is installed so that its imaging direction is directed to the presenter 3 to be photographed. The video of the presenter 3 captured by the CCD camera 5 is sent to the video processing device 26. Depending on the presenter, the distance between the display unit 21 and the presenter may be slightly shifted. Accordingly, in order to cope with such a situation, it is preferable to select a CCD camera 5 having a deep focal depth.

  Next, the specific installation position of the micro CCD camera 5 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the main body 6 of the imaging device 600 is installed on the display unit 21. The switch 210 includes a power switch for turning on / off the power of the monitor TV 1. The CCD camera 5 is arranged in a state instructed by the main body 6 at a predetermined position in front of the monitor screen 8 on which the text card 9a (presentation content) presented to the presenter 3 is displayed. The CCD camera 5 is attached to the main body 6 via the support unit 10, and video data captured from the CCD camera 5 is sent into the main body 6 via the cable 50. The main body 6 is provided with a resolution switching channel 6a and a power switch 6b.

  The monitor screen 8 can be sufficiently used if it is about 4 inches. Since the text cards 9a to 9c smoothly advance the presentation that is actually being given to the presenter 3, the text card 9b indicating the content of the already completed presentation and the text card 9c indicating the content of the next presentation are the same monitor screen. 8 is displayed. Specifically, the CCD camera 5 is located at a position w (cm) ahead of the monitor screen 8 and in the vicinity of the text card 9 a displayed on the monitor screen 8.

  Thus, since the ultra-small CCD camera 5 is positioned so as to overlap the text card 9a displayed on the monitor screen 8 of the large monitor TV1, there is no special problem for the presenter 3 who sees the text card 9a. . For example, in the case of a terminal device in which the distance L between the monitor TV 1 and the presenter 3 is set to about 2.5 m if the vertical width of the text card 9a displayed on the monitor screen 8 by the CCD camera 5 is about 10 cm, The parallax angle is 2.3 ° and can be less than the parallax angle of 3 °, which is a sufficient detection limit (even if the interval w between the monitor screen 8 and the CCD camera 5 is about 10 cm, the fluctuation in the parallax angle is particularly affected Absent). As a result of experiments, it has been confirmed that a good interactive dialogue can be realized if the size of the screen 8 is about 35 cm wide and 26 cm long. In addition, if the mutual interlocutors are acquaintances, a result showing a tendency that the screen size is small but there are few psychological obstacles is obtained, and the screen size is preferably used according to the application.

  As described above, in order to efficiently construct a state in which the presenter 3 speaks vividly toward the CCD camera 5, the original and auxiliary text cards 9 a to 9 c are arranged around the CCD camera 5. As described above, it is preferable that the text card 9a displayed on the monitor screen 8 is within a parallax angle of 3 ° at which the line-of-sight coincides. However, when strictness is not required, the imaging unit overlaps the monitor screen. Even with this arrangement, the presenter's facial expression is significantly improved in comparison with the case where the imaging unit is arranged outside the monitor screen.

  Further, the parallax angle will be described with reference to FIG. In this specification, the parallax angle refers to the line of sight of the presenter 3 to be photographed, which is directed to the text card displayed on the monitor screen 8, and to the CCD camera 5, as shown in FIG. An angle θ formed by the line of sight of the presenter 3 is referred to. In other words, it means a deviation angle of the installation position of the CCD camera 5 with respect to the line of sight of the presenter 3. Further, the line-of-sight coincidence here means that it is below the allowable limit of unnaturalness due to the installation position of the CCD camera 5, as reported in the Showa 42 Association of Electrical and Industrial Sciences (No. 1998). . Quantitatively, as the parallax angle, the horizontal direction is 4.5 ° or less, the direct upward direction is 12 °, and the direct downward direction is 8 ° or less within the line-of-sight matching range. Of course, this parallax angle should be small, and the detection limit is 3 ° or less in the horizontal and vertical directions. Therefore, the area where the CCD camera 5 can be installed is the conical area shown in FIG. Note that this conical region is the line of sight on the monitor screen 8 when a predetermined distance L (m) is away from the line of sight 31 of the presenter 3 that connects the eyes 30 of the presenter 3 and the text card displayed on the monitor screen 8. It is defined by the matching area 9b and the position of the eyes 30 of the presenter 3.

  If the size of the text card displayed on the monitor screen 8 is small, the CCD camera 5 and the text card do not necessarily overlap. Rather, the text card displayed on the monitor screen 8 is hidden behind the CCD camera 5 and is difficult to see. As described above, the line-of-sight condition is that the CCD camera 5 and the text card are present in the region where the parallax angle is 3 °, and is specifically about 3 cm at a position 50 cm away from the screen. Therefore, within this range, even if the CCD camera 5 and the text card are shifted, the line-of-sight matching state is maintained. The text card and the CCD camera 5 are shifted by, for example, adjusting the image display position on the monitor screen 8 or changing the position of the CCD camera 5 itself by adjusting the support portion 10 of the CCD camera 5. The

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of the terminal device shown in FIG. This terminal device includes a display unit 21 such as a monitor, an image processing unit 26, an image pickup unit 600 including an image pickup unit such as a CCD camera 5 that picks up an image of the presenter 3 positioned in front of the display unit 21, and an image pickup unit 6. As output means, a keyboard 310, a light pen 320, a mouse 330, an external recording device 340, a speaker 350, and a microphone 360 are provided.

  The video processing unit 26 includes a data input / output unit 261 (in the drawing) for receiving image information from the imaging unit 6 included in the imaging unit and other information media and transmitting / receiving the image information through the transmission unit 27. , I / O), control unit 262, scenario database 265 (scenario D / B in the figure) for storing scenarios and the like prepared in advance by the presenter 3 in addition to image information to be transmitted and received, display unit A drawing unit 264 that displays a predetermined pattern in accordance with an instruction from the control unit 262, a data input / output unit 263 (I / O in the figure) that enables data exchange with an external input / output unit such as a mouse, Are provided with a moving image database 266 (moving image D / B in the figure) for storing video data captured from the CCD camera 5 and a timer 267 for time management. The external recording device 700 includes a recording medium such as a magnetic tape such as a video tape, a video CD, an optical disk, a hard disk, a DVD, and a flash memory. The recording medium may store a computer program for executing the visual information recording method according to the present invention.

  When the terminal device functions as the server 200, the control unit 262 functions as a communication control unit. Here, the transmission means 27 is an optical fiber transmission line (main transmission line) and a satellite communication transmission line (backup transmission line) in order to enable transmission and reception of image information and audio information between other terminal devices at remote locations. ) Etc. The transmission means 27 may be either wired or wireless. The transmission means includes a network such as a telephone line network that has already been laid, and further includes an electronic bulletin board system (BBS: Bulletin Board System) provided with various databases.

  Next, a visual information recording method according to the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In this visual information recording method, first, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6A, a presentation scenario is created by the presenter himself. This scenario is stored in scenario D / B 265 (step ST1). Then, according to the scenario stored in this scenario D / B, a pretest of the presentation is performed (step ST2), and the scenario created earlier is edited. When this scenario editing is completed, the rehearsal is repeated until it passes through a check by the presenter and the instructor (step ST3). If this rehearsal is passed, the visual information of the presentation finally obtained is recorded on a desired recording medium (step ST4). Note that the presenter's presentation video (visual information) in the pretest (step ST2) or rehearsal (step ST3) is stored in the moving image D / B 266 so that it can be played back sequentially.

  In the scenario creation operation (step ST1), for example, as shown in FIG. 7A, a window 910 having a character input available area is displayed on the monitor screen of the display unit 21. This is done by executing an input program that automatically creates scenario data by inputting necessary items in a predetermined area.

  For example, when giving a self-introduction presentation, the presenter inputs the following presentation contents in the window 910.

Text card no. 1: Item (from origin)
Contents (name, hometown, educational background)
Text card no. 2: Item (work history)
Contents (current work, previous work)
Text card no. 3: Item (field of specialty)
Contents (General information processing, image compression technology)
Text card no. 4: Item (hobby)
Contents (Clarinet, astrophotography)
Text card no. 5: Item (hope for work)
Contents (Technology development)
The input items as described above are sequentially stored in the scenario D / B 265. FIG. 7B is a diagram showing a logical structure of scenario data input by the presenter as described above.

  In the pretest (step ST2), as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6 (b), the presentation performed by the presenter is sequentially recorded in the moving image D / B 266 according to the scenario created in advance, thereby evaluating Data is created (step ST21). When this pretest ends (step ST22), the presenter evaluates the presentation he made while reproducing the visual information stored in the moving image D / B 266 (step ST23). At this time, as shown in FIG. 7C, by presenting specific information such as the required time for each presentation item, the presenter can easily re-edit the scenario created by the presenter. (Steps ST24 and ST25).

  It should be noted that if the presentation starts suddenly, there is a sense of incongruity. Therefore, if the time until the start (about 5 seconds) is reduced and displayed every second, the presenter can easily take the start timing. In this case, a numeric character may be simply displayed, but an animation may be displayed, for example, a door is gradually opened.

  Next, in the rehearsal (step ST3), as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6C, evaluation data of a presentation performed according to the edited scenario is created (step ST31). This evaluation data is the presenter's own moving image data sequentially stored in the moving image D / B266. Then, while reproducing the evaluation data, the user or the leader evaluates it (step ST32). In addition, this evaluation may have a leader who is an evaluator in a remote place. In such a case, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, the presenter 3A and the instructor 3B sense each other by transmitting visual information (mutually moving images 1A, 1B) via the transmission means 27. It is possible to consider a more detailed presentation modification between 3A and the instructor 3B in a state where the line of sight matches. In the embodiment of FIG. 8, the moving image 1A of the presenter 3A captured by the imaging unit 6A is transmitted to the instructor 3B side via the CCD camera 5A arranged in the area shown in FIG. The moving image 1B of the instructor 3B captured by the imaging unit 6B is transmitted to the presenter 3A side via 5B. The rehearsal is repeated until the presentation evaluation is passed (step ST33), and finally completed visual information is stored in the moving image D / B 266.

  When the rehearsal is completed, the visual information stored in the moving image D / B 266 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 10 in a state where the presentation item is associated with the video data and audio data of the presentation. Recording is performed on a desired recording medium (step ST4). FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the logical structure of the visual information stored in the recording medium.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a monitor screen 8 presented to the presenter during the presentation.

As shown in FIG. 9, the monitor screen 8 displays elapsed time information in the entire presentation, a clock icon 900a indicating remaining time information, and text cards 9a to 9c indicating the contents of each presentation for each item. Is done. The text card 9 a is a text card showing the content currently being presented, and is displayed so as to overlap the CCD camera 5. An elapsed time graph 900b is also displayed below the text card 9a. Further, the text card 9b is a text card indicating the contents of the presentation that has already been completed, and the text card 9c is a text card indicating the contents to be presented from now on, and has a display configuration that makes it easy for the presenter to understand the connection of the entire presentation. It has become. These text cards 9a to 9c are sequentially slid in the direction indicated by the arrow S1 in FIG. 9 as each item of the presentation is completed. It should be set in advance so that text cannot be entered in the area of the text card overlapping the CCD camera 5.

As a presentation is performed while reading the central text card 9 a in FIG. 9, the presenter's line of sight is necessarily directed toward the CCD camera 5. As a result, when the created visual information is reproduced, the observer can be in a state in which the line of sight coincides indirectly with the presenter in the video, and more emotional communication can be realized.

  As described above, in order to efficiently construct a state in which the presenter speaks vividly toward the imaging unit such as a CCD camera, in the present invention, a manuscript and an auxiliary text card are arranged around the camera. In general, it is preferable that the text card displayed on the monitor has a parallax angle of 3 ° or less in which the line-of-sight coincides. However, when strictness is not required, the imaging unit is arranged so as to overlap the monitor screen. This also significantly improves the presenter's facial expression transmission as compared with the case where the imaging unit is arranged outside the monitor screen.

  In addition, transmitting the presenter's vivid expression and line of sight is fundamental and important for communication, but it is also important to end the presentation in time. As a method for supporting this, the presenter can grasp the pace of the presentation by providing a display function for notifying the time information on the monitor screen together with the text card.

  Specifically, the presenter can have a sense of time by displaying the time axis bar below the text card displayed on the monitor screen. The displayed text card may be switched automatically according to the time schedule (scenario) or manually.

  Furthermore, the text card is created in advance as a part of the scenario, and is displayed on the monitor screen together with the start of presentation (recording start). In this text card, only the points of the story may be described, or the entire manuscript may be described. When the document is displayed, the display range in the monitor screen is limited, so that it is preferable to display the large character character so that it flows in the display range. In this case, the speed at which the character character flows may be input manually (in real time) or may be preset. Pre-setting makes it possible to end the presentation reliably in time.

  In particular, when the text card displayed on the monitor screen is a manuscript, it is preferable to display about three lines at the same time and the presenter reads the line located in the center. Since the text card read by the presenter has a portion that overlaps with the image pickup unit when displayed on the monitor screen, it is preferable to add a software restriction so that characters cannot be input in the overlapping region in advance. . However, the adjustment of the display positions of the imaging unit and the text card can be performed in hardware (adjustment of the arrangement position of the imaging unit) or in software (adjustment of the display position of the text card).
