(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] To provide an information presenting device which can easily monitor a plurality of data simultaneously. SOLUTION: A conversion rule specifying unit 10 for specifying conversion rules for data, timbre, and frequency, for input information A and B, different frequencies for each data according to the conversion rules, and frequencies corresponding to the magnitude of the data value. Data conversion unit 20 for converting the input information A, B
And an output unit 30 for simultaneously outputting output information A and B corresponding to the input information C and output information C corresponding to the input information C. Furthermore, when the input information A or B enters a specific state, the audio conversion unit 20 transmits audio data of a specific timbre corresponding to the state.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an information presenting apparatus for monitoring the status of a system, and more particularly to a multimedia data presenting apparatus suitable for simultaneously monitoring a plurality of data obtained from the system. It is.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the prior art, when a plurality of data are acquired and a system is monitored, an observer simultaneously monitors data such as images and numerical values presented as visual information and determines a specific event such as a system abnormality. I had to. Further, even when a part of the obtained data is converted into audio data and presented to the supervisor, the magnitude of the obtained data value is simply converted into an audio frequency and presented intermittently as a sound pitch. .

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional method of presenting data only by visual observation, it is necessary for the observer to simultaneously confirm a plurality of data using visual observation, and when there are many types of acquired data, data monitoring is performed. There was a problem that was difficult to do. In addition, even when a part of the acquired data is converted into audio and presented, only the magnitude of the data is converted into an analog value such as the frequency of the audio, and identification such as identification of the acquired data or identification of an error state or the like based on the data value is performed. There was a problem that events could not be expressed. An object of the present invention is to provide a multimedia data presentation device that solves the above-mentioned conventional problems.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, at least a part of a plurality of acquired data is converted into voice data of a different timbre for each data by changing the frequency according to the magnitude of the data value, and converting the obtained data to another data. Presenting it at the same time is the most important feature. Furthermore, the present invention is characterized in that, when a data value is in a specific state, audio data of a timbre according to the state is presented. As a result, when acquiring multiple data and monitoring the system,
It is possible to simultaneously monitor the change of the data value for each data and the state of the system using vision, hearing, and the like.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of one embodiment of a multimedia data presentation device according to the present invention.
The present multimedia data presentation device is a conversion rule specifying unit 1
0, an audio data conversion unit 20 and an output unit 30, which are configured as processing modules on a computer such as a personal computer. In the present embodiment, two sets of numerical measurement data indicated by input information A and B and one set of image data indicated by input information C are sent from the monitoring target system every moment, and these three sets of data are monitored simultaneously. And

As the input information A and B of the numerical measurement data, digital information or information obtained by A / D conversion of analog information is input to the audio data converter 20. As the input information C of the image data, for example, encoded information is input to the output unit 30.

[0007] The conversion rule designating section 10 includes input information A, B
Specifies the conversion rule to the audio data of the input information A, B, the tone (frequency) of the sound depending on the magnitude of the data value, the upper limit or lower limit of the data value, or the input information A , B, a tone color for identifying a system error state or the like based on the relationship between the data values.

At the time of data monitoring, the audio data converter 20
According to the conversion rule specified by the conversion rule specifying unit 10, for example, the input information A includes the timbre of the stringed instrument, the input information B
The input information A and B are converted into audio data by changing the audio frequency in accordance with the tone color of the wind instrument and the magnitude of the data value. Further, the audio data converter 20
When one or both of the data values of the input information A and B exceed the upper and lower limits, the input information A and B are similarly changed according to the conversion rule of the conversion rule specifying unit 10.
The voice data of the specific tone corresponding to the error event is transmitted.

The output unit 30 reproduces the audio data corresponding to the input information A and B converted by the audio data conversion unit 20 and outputs the audio as output information A and B. At the same time, the image data of the input information C is output. Output information C is obtained by a decoding process or the like, and is displayed on an image display.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of data for monitoring the state of the system are converted into data such as auditory and visual senses. In particular, the auditory data is presented by changing the timbre for each data. Thereby, simultaneous monitoring of a plurality of data can be easily performed. Further, it is possible to present an error state or the like of the system to be identified by changing the tone.
