JPH0696057B2 - Sound effect generation method combined with picture books - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a sound effect generating method using a picture book and a sound effect generating device by voice synthesis in combination.

(B) Conventional technology Conventionally, as an audiovisual device for infants, a record groove is formed in a picture book, and the sound recorded in the record groove is reproduced by a pickup reproducing apparatus while watching the picture of the picture book. What has been done is known.

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the audiovisual device having the conventional configuration as described above, since only the sound recorded in the record groove is reproduced, it is possible to talk about the person or the animal appearing in the picture book or , I could not give the image of movement to the infant watching the picture book, it just played the sound.

Further, in general, when a mother reads a picture book to an infant and reads it without any intonation, the infant often shows little interest in the content of the picture book.

(D) Means for Solving the Problems In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a picture book on which a sentence and a picture are posted, and a sound effect generator having a plurality of keys for generating different sound effects by voice synthesis side by side. It is a combination, different symbols are displayed on each key of the sound effect generation device, and in the text part of the picture book, the same symbol is selected by selecting the pattern displayed on the key for generating the sound effect. When displaying and reading the text of a picture book, select and operate the key of the same design as the design displayed there, the person who appears in the text,
A sound effect generating method in combination with a picture book, which is characterized in that a sound effect generating device generates a sound effect close to that of an animal or the like.

(E) Operation According to the sound effect generation method of the present invention, when the mother or the infant reads the picture book, the preselected pattern is displayed in the text portion of the picture book. Among them, by operating a key on which the same design as the design on the picture book side is displayed, it is possible to generate a sound effect having an image corresponding to the movement of the person or animal appearing in the sentence.

(F) Example Hereinafter, an example of the sound effect generating method of the present invention will be described.

The present invention comprises a combination of a picture book and a sound effect generator.

(1) is a picture book to which the present invention is applied. This picture book (1)
As is well known, the text (2) and picture (3) are posted.
(4) is a sound effect generator to which the present invention is applied, and has an outer shape of a book shape.

The sound effect generator (4) has a plurality of keys (5a) to (5g) (6a) for generating various different sound effects by voice synthesis.
(6g), (7a) to (7d) are arranged in three rows.

The keys (5a) to (5g) generate various melody sound effects, the keys (6a) to (6g) generate various single effect sounds, and the keys (7a) to (7d) generate different levels. It is configured to generate a sound effect that has been converted into voice.

The sound effect generator (4) is provided with a cassette reproducing section (8), and in order to control the cassette reproducing section (8), a stop button (9), a fast-forward button (10), a reproduction button (11), A rewind button (12) is provided, and a speaker (1
3) is provided.

The features of the present invention will be described below.

Keys (5a) ~ (5g), (6a) ~ (6g), (7a) ~
On the upper surface of (7d), as shown as an example in FIG. 3, a pattern matching the image of the sound effect is displayed, and in the picture book (1), it is represented in the sentence (2), Moreover, a sticker having the same design as the design displayed on the key for generating the sound effect close to the image shown in the picture (3) is attached. At this time, the design sticker may be attached to each page of the picture book (1).

In FIG. 1, the seal corresponding to the design on the key side is shown with a dash mark.

Therefore, by using the picture book (1) and the sound effect generator (4) described above, when the mother or infant reads the picture book, it matches the pattern displayed at the beginning or end of the sentence. By operating the key displaying the pattern while reading the sentence, it is possible to generate a sound effect that matches the image shown in the sentence and the picture each time.

(G) Effect of the Invention Since the sound effect generation method according to the present invention is used as described above, when the infant reads the picture book, the sound effect can be put in a unique image, so that the emotional education of the child can be performed. In addition, parents can give their children a fresh image when they read a picture book, which is different from the one that they read with their own voice, and they can also expect the effect that parents can improve communication with their children. It is possible.

In addition, it is possible to perform a reproduction that enhances the image while having fun by adding the effect sound generated by various key operations to the sound reproduced by the cassette reproducing unit attached to the sound effect generator used in the present invention.
