DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[Outline of the embodiment]
A website creation system capable of voice reading (this system) according to an embodiment of the present invention creates a website capable of voice reading from an existing website, in which a website generation server manages the existing website as a voice reading project, and for content extracted from the existing website, a template is used to register a code number and a title name as a code name, and also registers a code category, and the character string of the extracted content is arranged after setting the code name and code category, and text data of the audio content is stored in the order of code name, code category, and character string, and in a website capable of voice reading accessed by a user, a code name is displayed for each project, and when the code name is selected, the text data of the corresponding audio content is output aloud, and the website page is read aloud, allowing a listener to easily select the content of the existing website in question, and further, since the selected content has the code name, code category, and character string output aloud in that order, the title and category are read aloud first, and then the character string, audio content that is easy for the listener to understand can be provided.

In addition, this system displays a website that can read aloud on the user's terminal and allows the user to select the code name, so it is intended for visually impaired people who have enough eyesight to recognize the display screen to some extent. Even for completely blind people, a caregiver can operate the user terminal to select the code name instead.

[This system: Figure 1]
This system will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the system.
As shown in Figure 1, this system comprises a website generation server (generation server) 1 that generates websites that can be read aloud, an existing site information processing device 2 that stores data of existing websites to be read aloud and extracts content from the target pages, a user terminal 3 of a listener (user) that displays the readable website and performs the reading aloud, and a network 4.

Here, the generation server 1 , the existing site information processing device 2 , and the user terminal 3 are connected to a network 4 .
In reality, there are a plurality of existing site information processing devices 2 and user terminals 3, which are connected to a network 4, but for ease of explanation, FIG. 1 shows only one of each.

[Parts of this system]
Each part of this system will now be described.
[Website Generation Server (Generation Server) 1]
The generation server 1 acquires the contents of existing Web sites from an existing site information processing device 2 , generates voice content data to be read aloud, and provides the voice content data to a user terminal 3 .

As shown in FIG. 1, the generating server 1 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, and an interface unit 13.
The storage unit 12 stores the processing program, and also stores voice content data for reading out the contents acquired from the existing site information processing device 2 by voice.
The interface unit 13 is an interface for connecting the generation server 1 to the network 1 .

The control unit 11 executes a processing program stored in the memory unit 12, organizes the content of existing websites using templates described below, generates audio content data that can be read aloud, and generates a content list display screen that makes it easy for the user terminal 3 to make selections.

[Existing site information processing device 2]
The existing site information processing device 2 is an information processing device that stores the contents of existing websites to be read aloud, and normally provides the website contents to users via the network 4. Note that the existing site information processing device 2 may be configured to operate on the contents of existing websites stored externally.

Furthermore, the existing site information processing device 2 specifies a target page of the existing web site, analyzes the HTML array, obtains text data as extracted content, and transmits the text data as a character string to the generation server 1. Specifically, the existing site information processing device 2 corresponds to a web server of a public institution, a web server of a company, etc.

[User terminal 3]
The user terminal 3 accesses the generation server 1 to display a list screen of website contents that can be read aloud, selects a desired content from the list screen, and executes the reading aloud of that content.
The user terminal 3 can also access the existing site information processing device 2 to display the contents of a website using characters and images.
The user terminal 3 is assumed to be a smartphone, a tablet, a personal computer, or the like.

[Network 4]
The network 4 is assumed to be the Internet.

[Processing content]
[New website generation and reading process: Figures 2-4]
Next, the processing in this system will be described with reference to Figures 2 to 4. Figure 2 is a flow diagram showing the process of creating and reading out a new website, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing a registration template, and Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing a list screen of website categories and code names that can be read out loud.

In this system, as shown in Figure 2, the existing site information processing device 2 specifies a target page of an existing Web site, analyzes the HTML sequence, extracts the content, obtains text data of the extracted content, and transmits the text data to the generation server 1 (S1). It is also possible to process multiple existing Web sites in parallel in the existing site information processing device 2 and transmit them to the generation server 1.

Then, the generation server 1 assigns a project ID to the existing website as a project (S2), and, using a previously prepared template as shown in FIG. 3, registers a code name consisting of a code number and a title name in the template (S3), and further registers a code category in the template (S4).

The generation server 1 then places the text data (character string) of the extracted content in the content field of the template after setting the chord name and code category (S5), and stores the audio content data in the order of chord name, code category, and character string (S6).

As shown in FIG. 4(a), when the generation server 1 causes a website capable of being read aloud to be displayed on the user terminal 3 by accessing the user terminal 3, a list of categories is displayed. When a desired category is selected from the category list and a desired project is then selected from the projects displayed, as shown in FIG. 4(b), the generation server 1 displays a list of chord names included in the selected project (S7). When the desired chord name is selected, the audio content data of the selected content is output aloud and read aloud (S8).
In other words, you can easily select the content to be read aloud from a list of code names on a project-by-project basis.

In addition, if the website in question belongs to a local government, the list screen of the contents of the website that can be read aloud may be configured to link the website that can be read aloud to the website of the local government, and display the website that can be read aloud from the link.

[Website update process for reading aloud: Figure 5]
Next, the process when data is updated on an existing website will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a flow diagram showing the process of updating a website to be read aloud.
A synchronization tool (program) corresponding to an existing Web site is set in the existing site information processing device 2, and as shown in FIG. 5, the synchronization tool periodically detects updates to the existing site (S11), analyzes the detected update contents, and transmits the contents of the update contents (updated content) to the generation server 1 (S12).

The generation server 1 generates audio content data for a website that can be read aloud from the updated content, in the same way as the extracted content (S13), and updates the audio content data stored in the storage unit 12 (S14).

[Import existing printed materials/document files]
The generation server 1 extracts text data from data of existing printed matter or document files, and generates audio content for a website that can be read aloud as extracted content, similar to the pages of an existing website.

[Read hyperlinks]
When a two-dimensional barcode is printed on an existing printed matter, a generating server 1 reads the printed two-dimensional barcode and generates voice content data for a Web site that can also read out the contents described in the Web site to which the two-dimensional barcode is hyperlinked.
Here, we have explained the case where a two-dimensional barcode is printed on an existing printed material, but even if a two-dimensional barcode is displayed on an existing website, audio content data for the website that can be read aloud is generated.

Then, the generation server 1 associates audio content data for a website that can read out the existing printed material (audio content data of the existing printed material) with audio content data for a website that can read out the content at the hyperlink destination (audio content data of the linked site), and provides the data to the user terminal 3.
The generating server 1 may read out the voice content data of the linked page after reading out the voice content data of the existing printed matter.

[Effects of the embodiment]
According to this system, the generation server 1 manages existing websites as voice reading projects, and for extracted content extracted from existing websites, a template is used to register a code number and a title name as a code name, a code category is also registered, the text data of the extracted content is arranged after setting the code name and code category, and the text data of the audio content is stored in the order of code name, code category, and text data. In a website that can be read aloud and is accessed by the user terminal 3, a code name is displayed for each project, and when the code name is selected, the text data of the corresponding audio content is output aloud and the website page is read aloud. This allows the listener to easily select the content of the existing website in question, and furthermore, since the selected content is output aloud in the order of code name, code category, and text data, the title and category are read aloud first, and then the character string is read aloud, which has the effect of providing audio content that is easy for the listener to understand.

The present invention is suitable for a system and program for creating a website with a voice readout function that can read out the information on the website aloud so that the listener can easily understand it.
