Abstract
In a system in which a transmission device and reception device communicate with each other, the transmission device has a first output unit which outputs a first audio guidance, and a transmission unit which transmits, to the reception device, an output instruction that instructs the reception device to output a second audio guidance related to the first audio guidance at a timing corresponding to an output timing of the first guidance, and the reception device has a reception unit which receives the output instruction transmitted by the transmission unit, and an output unit which outputs the second audio guidance at a timing according to the output instruction received by the reception unit.
Claims24
A system in which a transmission device and a reception device communicate with each other,
- said transmission device comprising:
- a first output unit which outputs a first audio guidance;
- and
- a transmission unit which transmits, to said reception device, an output instruction which instructs said reception device to output a second audio guidance related to the first audio guidance and controls to start output of the second audio guidance in said reception device at a timing delayed from an output start timing of the first audio guidance in said transmission device, and
- said reception device comprising:
- a reception unit which receives the output unit transmitted from said transmission unit;
- and
- an output unit which outputs the second audio guidance at a timing according to the output instruction received by said reception unit.
An output control method of an audio guidance in a system in which a transmission device having a first output unit which outputs a first audio guidance and a reception device having a second output unit which outputs a second audio guidance related to the first audio guidance communicate with each other, the method comprising:
- a transmission step of transmitting, to the reception device, an output instruction which instructs the reception device to output the second audio guidance and controls to start output of the second audio guidance in the reception device at a timing delayed from an output start timing of the first audio guidance in the transmission device;
- and
- an output step of controlling the second output unit to output the second audio guidance at a timing according to the output instruction.
A transmission device in a system in which a transmission device having a first output unit which outputs a first audio guidance and a reception device having a second output unit which outputs a second audio guidance related to the first audio guidance communicate with each other, said device comprising:
- a transmission unit which transmits, to the reception device, an output instruction which instructs the second output unit to output the second audio guidance and controls to start output of the second audio guidance in the reception device at a timing delayed from an output start timing of the first audio guidance in said transmission device.
A reception device in a system in which a transmission device having a first output unit which outputs a first audio guidance and a reception device having a second output unit which outputs a second audio guidance related to the first audio guidance communicate with each other, said device comprising:
- a reception unit which receives, from the transmission device, an output instruction which instructs the second output unit to output the second audio guidance and controls to start output of the second audio guidance in said reception device at a timing delayed from an output start timing of the first audio guidance in the transmission device;
- an audio data reception unit which receives audio data of the second audio guidance before the output instruction is received;
- and
- an output control unit which controls the second output unit to output the second audio guidance based on the output instruction,
- wherein the system is a system in which a plurality of devices including the transmission device and said reception device executes a series of processes in a coordinated manner, the first audio guidance is an audio guidance corresponding to a first process executed by the transmission device, and the second audio guidance is an audio guidance corresponding to a second process which is executed by the reception device in correspondence with the first process, and
- the output instruction includes information which instructs an output timing of the second audio guidance, and information which identifies the audio data of the second audio guidance.
