Abstract
A sound control device includes: a detection unit that detects a first operation on an operator and a second operation on the operator, the second operation being performed after the first operation; and a control unit that causes output of a second sound to be started, in response to the second operation being detected. The control unit causes output of a first sound to be started before causing the output of the second sound to be started, in response to the first operation being detected.
Claims21
A sound control device comprising:
- a storage unit that stores syllable information about a syllable that:
- in a case where the syllable is composed of only a vowel sound, starts with the vowel sound;
- and
- in a case where the syllable is composed of a consonant sound and the vowel sound, starts with the consonant sound and continues with the vowel sound after the consonant sound;
- a detection unit that detects a first operation on an operator and a second operation on the operator, the second operation being performed after the first operation;
- and
- a control unit that:
- causes output of the consonant sound of the syllable to be started in response to the first operation being detected;
- causes output of the vowel sound of the syllable to be started, after causing the output of the consonant sound of the syllable to be started, in response to the second operation being detected;
- reads the syllable information from the storage unit and determines whether the syllable starts with the consonant sound or the vowel sound;
- determines that the consonant sound is to be output in a case where the control unit determines that the syllable starts with the consonant sound;
- and
- determines that the consonant sound is to be not output in a case where the control unit determines that the syllable starts with the vowel sound.

A sound control method comprising:
- storing, in a storage unit, syllable information about a syllable that:
- in a case where the syllable is composed only of a vowel sound, starts with the vowel sound;
- and
- in a case where the syllable is composed of a consonant sound and the vowel sound, starts with the consonant sound and continues with the vowel sound after the consonant sound;
- detecting a first operation on an operator and a second operation on the operator, the second operation being performed after the first operation;
- causing output of the consonant sound of the syllable to be started in response to the first operation being detected;
- causing output of the vowel sound of the syllable to be started, after causing the output of the consonant sound of the syllable to be started, in response to the second operation being detected;
- reading the syllable information from the storage unit and determining whether the syllable starts with the consonant sound or the vowel sound;
- determining that the consonant sound is to be output in a case where the syllable is determined to start with the consonant sound;
- and
- determining that the consonant sound is to be not output in a case where the syllable is determined to start with the vowel sound.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program executable by a computer to execute a method comprising:
- storing, in a storage unit, syllable information about a syllable that:
- in a case where the syllable is composed only of a vowel sound, starts with the vowel sound;
- and
- in a case where the syllable is composed of a consonant sound and the vowel sound, starts with the consonant sound and continues with the vowel sound after the consonant sound;
- detecting a first operation on an operator and a second operation on the operator, the second operation being performed after the first operation;
- causing output of the consonant sound of the syllable to be started in response to the first operation being detected;
- causing output of the vowel sound of the syllable to be started, after causing the output of the consonant sound of the syllable to be started, in response to the second operation being detected;
- reading the syllable information from the storage unit and determining whether the syllable starts with the consonant sound or the vowel sound;
- determining that the consonant sound is to be output in a case where the syllable is determined to start with the consonant sound;
- and
- determining that the consonant sound is to be not output in a case where the syllable is determined to start with the vowel sound.
8 more elements
A sound control device comprising:
- a storage unit that stores a syllable information table in which a type of a consonant sound and a timing at which output of the consonant sound is started are associated,
- wherein the consonant sound and a vowel sound constitute a single syllable;
- a detection unit that detects a first operation on an operator and a second operation on the operator, the second operation being performed after the first operation;
- a control unit that:
- causes output of the consonant sound of the single syllable to be started in response to the first operation being detected;
- causes output of the vowel sound of the single syllable to be started, after causing the output of the consonant sound of the single syllable to be started, in response to the second operation being detected;
- reads the syllable information table from the storage unit;
- acquires the timing associated with the type of the consonant sound of the single syllable by referring to the read syllable information table;
- and
- causes output of the consonant sound of the single syllable to be started at the acquired timing.
